mend each locality to forward , one fortnight previous to tha presentation , subscriptions , not leBs than fl ? e shillings , to the General Treasurer , particularly etating the object fer which the money is to be expended .
LECXUBERS . Tha Executive took into their serious consideration the numerous complaints which have been niade concerning tke present loose and unsatisfactory manner in which lecturers are appointed . " They are apprehensive of the danger to be incurred Bbould unknown and unqualified men be recognised as belonging to , and holding responsible offices in , the National Charter Association , and have therefore recommended that Id future no person onght to be received as & Chartist lecturer , " who does not bear with him a clear sind satisfactory appointment to that office , issued by the General Council , and signed by the leading members of the locality in which he lias resided , and where his character and principles are best known . It was also resolved , that tb . 8 General Council , after the nomination of lecturers , do forward a list of the appointed lecturers fcr publication , and to enable the Executive to choose from the whole men , to agitate the
UNORGANIZED DISTBICTS . For whieb purpose an agitating fund should be established , by devoting the proceeds of one lecture , ball , _ or soiree for that especial purpose , every Chartist lending bis gratuitous aid for that important end .
THE CHARTIST PKESS . The Executive are anxious that every encouragement and support be given to tbe organs of the movement , and that the Star , the mcUesman , the Trumpet of Wales , and every other publication inserting our documents and advocating our principles , should be read and circulated . The smaller organs have invariably been allowed to die , ar . d it is with regret that the Executive perceive that the English . Chartist Circular is almoEt about to
expire for want of due enconragemaE ' c to snch a talented , cheap , ar . a instructive rtieet . It is important chat . a halfpenny publication should belong to our movement , if it were for no other purpose than to enable the poorest to read , and the richer to purchase it , and circulate , by an e&sy medium , the principles of the Peoples Charter . The Execntive therefore call upon the Council and the members to aid then in upholding this the smalleit a : ; d cheap ? st of our Chartist papers , rot on ; y on ace-junt of its merit , but of its utility to the C 2 cse .
STATE OF THE CoCXTRT . The Executive have seriously deliberated upon the distress of tie people , End dtplore the absence of the SiJFrage , which could so speedily exchange cciufort for poverty , plenty for starvation , and freedom for sub-Taission . They do not sea any jnst 01 wiso remedy in violence cr insurrection , cdther do they tee wisdom in uncomp l aining obedience asd servile silence . Therefore they are prepared to rejonuniad p = iceful and constitutional
ULTEaiOB . MEASURES , as soon as they have gained the legal opinion of an eminent barristarj at the head of the movement , whose judgment will not be biassed by the fear of government , eut wheso opinion will be tempered by anxiety for the success of tbe cause , and care for the safety of the peopie , iho leaders and rba Charter . The Exp-cntiva will , therefore , be prepared to recommend Erasures of peaceful resistance U the assembled conferences of the Association , where they will have the bi-efi : of the opinions of the Itaiicg councillors of the National Charter Asssocistion .
FINANCE . The Executive proceeded to examine the accounts of the Secretary , and discovered that every debt of the old Executive was dtfrayed , and that a considerable Bum was due to the present body for cards . It is to be hoped that the Executive of the present body will meet with the same support , and on the termination of their annual term of oiMce , have as Itttle reason for complaint . The strength of the Executive lies in the command of funds , and their weak-Eess consists in not being supported ; but the expeiierce of the psst afiords no reason for apprehension in the future ; end tbe present body throw themselves entirely upon the jndgmint of a people who will have sagacity enough to protect and Buppoit them in the performance of a duty eo sacred and responsible .

THE MIDDLE CLASS MOYEMENT AND THE RIGHT MODE OF TREATING IT . KoTHiyG can be racro important than that the people should rightly understand and duly appreciate the disposition noTv manifested by a portion of the middle clashes to raise an outcry for extended , suffrage . "We ate quite aware that by some ( it mav be "honest-rniBded bat we must think shortsighted ) Chartists , we have been thoDgbt a little too sceptical of the intentions , and too suspicious of the motives , of the new-fledged middle class
" C&ariists-in-prittciple-bat-not-in-Eame . " It is argued by some that the character of the middle classes is not now what it was ten or twenty , nor evtn what it was five or seven years ago ; that wherea 3 they were then universally opposed to the granting of the people's light ? , many of them , now , adisit that the people have rights , and ought not to be dispossessed of them ; that this is to be regarded as a st : p in tie rJ ^ ht course—as an advance towards ihs recognition of jast principles , and that tho 3 e advances should by no means be repelled , but , on
the contrary , encouraged ; that we have nothing to do with t aeir motives ; that their sincerity or insincerity is of no moment to us ; that it matters not whether they mean good to us or whether they only mean good to themselves through our iastrornentaliiy ; that our business is to accept their advances ar-d preffered aid in a frank and friendly spirit—to give them credit for good intentions while their acts tend manifestly to our good , and to reciprocate such acts by every moans in our porrer that involves no compromise of principle ; shewing ourselves as disposed to conciliate as to be concilia-icd .
Now , vre arc as ready as any not merely to admit bat . to insist that whenever their act 3 tend manifestly to our good , these acts—no matter what may have been their motive—should be reciprocated and encouraged . We merely wish the people to make themselves quite sure , before they fiv into the arms of those who profess themselves almost persuaded to be Chartists , that their acts do tend manifestly to out good . We have not y ^ t been ab " i 3 to satisfy ourselves that any of the many " new moves ? , which have successively enjoyed ihe sunshine of middle-class countenance , has either had or been imended to hare this tendency . We see nothing in the character and conduct of the middle classes now
that does not' des ^ gnAte them clearly as thesame selfish , srerpfng , crafty , cowardly , dishonest politicians and soclgtarians that they have ever been . It certainly k not ia snob details of injnstice , and oppression , and wickedresE , es abound in our present paper , and in every honest record of passing events ; it is not ia the locking up of the white slaves by tbe Whig mulowaers cf Bingley , lest they should hear the truth respecting the canse of their degradation , at the late visit of O'Connor to that town ; it is not in the compelling by the master coal and ironstone miners
in Scotland , of their men to sign a new code of rules—tbe very first of which is , that they si all not , faring the time of their engagement , attend any meeting , by night or by day , above ground Or bslow ground , and especially tho nieetiags of the ll Coal Miner ' s Association , " besides plundering their labour through , the medium of fraudulent weights , against wiuch the poor fellows are cow petitioning it is not ia the brutally abasing and discharging ' from his employment of a good man for attending poor Holb £ Srt ' £ faneral ; it is not ia the thousand different forma under which tbe infamous truck system of robbery manifests itself throughout the s-hoie of the manufacturing and mining districts ; U
is not in the ieartlessness with which , the poor tgrieulfcural . laboaKrs ( decayed from -their own districts during the transient xampancy of mn inerefcsad foreign trade" by lying promises for the sake of keeping down wages ) are bow left to die of famine ; it is not to the 'ievolion , at a Single breakfksl , of nearly ^ 2 , 000 to tho carrying of -words abroad while their next door neighbours ' are dying of hunger and robbing swill tubs for ood ; it is not in their recent exhibitions of sympathy with ns as jury-men , when oar best men were , by shoals , committed to the dungeon's gloom for the assertion of our principles ; it is not in tbe judicial murder of Clayton and Holberryj tho all bat murder of Dnify and Hoey , and

the now slowly perpetrating murder ofPcddie and Brook , through the malignity of middle class jurors ; it is not in their otter refusal to co-operate with us ia demanding the recall of the unjustly and illegally expatriated Welch patriots ; it is not in the sufferings of the savagely and oowardly pertecuted i and unjustly convicted and expatriated , victims of their own riot in the bull ring at Birmingham : it is not to
any of these prominent marks of middle class character , nor yet to their mora recent evidence of sympathy in theoase of Mason and his Chartist brethren at Stafford , that we can look for any . amelioration of the character which appertained to them in years gone by . It may be that our vision is beclouded , but tons , they wear the same aspect of dogged , unreasoning , and unreasonable , sordid selfishness as they have ever done .
Well , bnt u va 3 t numbers of them" now , " not only recognise ns as an integral and important part of the body politic , but they have actually , in some instances , paid court to us I " If this had boon a new point in their character , we might probably have been , more easily deceived by it ; but we are old enough to remember that this is not the Erst occasion on which these parties , —not simply the middle class of that day , but the middle class of thi 3 day—have thought it necessary , for the attainment of their own objects , " not only to recognise ns as an integral and important part of the
body politic , but actually to pay court to us ; and , knowing this , we are the less disposed to give them credit for any purpose now but that of again playing the same game . While , therefore , we , as well as the advocates of the middle class suffragists , " should deem ourselves criminal in the sight of the people , and traitors to the cause , if fre offered them any the slightest obstruction , when disposedno matter from what cause^—to give a helping hand towaTd 3 carrying the Charter " , we wish , before
lending ourselves to them as tools in their bauds , to know that they are giving a helping hand towards carrying the Charter ] and that they are not , while amusing us with talk about the Charter , securing our help for the carrying of their own " free trade " and "extension" projects , by the attainment of which our bonds would be riveMed more firmly , our poverty and degradation made more appalling , and the carrying of the Charter indefinitely postponed .
We have never offered them any obstruction . We have never recommended that the slightest obstruction should be offered to them . We have never repelled any one of their advances in the right course . On the contrary , we have given them every encouragement in our power . Wo have continually laboured to show them that their real interests were effectually bound up with ours , and have invit ' . d them to join tho people in demanding that universal right which must , eventually , issue in universal good . We have been always most anxious to see the middle
classes join the people , and nothing could have given us so much pleasure as the consummation of this great good ; but we see a great difference between accepting tne aid of the middle classes and suffering ourselves to Ic used by the middle classes ; and hence we have been just as car ; ful to avoid the latter as to obtain the former . For this reason we have watched always , and watched narrowly , the movements of these middle class gentry . We knew that no jot of the full measure which was the object of our righteous contention could be abated " without a compromise of
principle , " and that therefore if any honest coalition took place between us and the middle classes , it must be by their coming to U 3 , and not by our going to them . Thi 3 has always been our doctrine of " conciliation . " We know nothing of any "disposition to conciliate " which could induce us to give up on *) tittle of our full principles , or to slacken one breath of the fulness of our demand for right . Hence our continual warning of the people , against the "Ballot , " the " Foreign Policy , " the "Household Suffrage , " tho " Short Parliaments , " the "Education
Suffrage , " the "Repeal of the Corn Law * , " the " Repeal of the Poor Law , " the " Manhood Suffrage , " the "Universal Suffrage , without details , " and all the other crack moves of the middle class men , whether Whig or Tory . We have sung always one song . We have said to the people , " Keep where you are ; stir not an inch ; and when they see that they can't fttch' you , they will come to you . " The event bos justified us . The very same parties who have successively tried all these moves have taken the last position prior to an amalgamation with the people . They have admitted all
the principles for which we contend ; but they still stickle , and would still divide hs on the paltry matters of inferior details—of leadership—and of a designation . This is , to us , evidence of insincerity ; and we must see better reasons for it than we have yet seen from its warmest advocates , before we can consent to regard it otherwise . But it is said that their recognition of our principles , whether sincere or not , tends to the enhancement and counrma ,-tion of those principles ; and must , therefore , however it may have been intended , be a great good , if we don ' t prevent it . Just so . And this is just
what we hare always said ; the very doctrine first preached , and oftea repeated by us on this subj . ct Immediately on our learning that the Complete Suffragists had admitted all our principles , but yet refused 10 make common cause with us , we at once stated tha opinion which we now repeat , that the conference men had proved to a demonstration their own insincerity , and that the people ought not by any means to unite with them ; while at the same time we most strongly warned them against
offering any opposition to the new-formed "National Complete Suffrage Union ; but exhorted them , on tbe contrary to protect and assist them on all occasions of their public assertion of our principles , in our leading article of the 16 th of April , which we wish every Chartist would again read , after reasoning the whole questicM and proving the insincerity of the new " new-movers , " we gave our opinion to the people in terms which we now repeat , having carefulJy reviewed and seeing no reason to repudiate them : —
M Tie people shoald have nothing to do with them . They should leave them alone in their littleness , and laugh at them . The people must not oppose them , for tkey profess to . be seeking the . advancement of our principles ; let them , therefore , go on their own way ; and if they are determined to go alone—if they are determined to make a foot-road for themselves alongside the people ' s turnpike , in God's name , let them walk on it
until their ancles ache , and they begin to feel their loneliness ; but support them against the factions in all their assertions of the great principles of liberty . If they should be weak enough to take the open field in defence of our principlas , relying on their own strength , rush to the rescue , lest the enemy should overcome them ; let them not , by any means * be beaten by the open and avowed advocates of class legislation : on every public occasion when the Complete Suffragites muster for the assertion of our common principles , there let the Chartists muster with them to a . man ; let there be no such division in our ranks as the enemy can take ad Ventage of ; let them be well protected , and by our assistance made triumphant , in en'ry public assertion of our
principles -which they msi * attempt ; but ffeter ; leato them without letting them knowv-to / ' ^ Q ^" ' ' ^^^ . ^ indebted ; never leav&va meeting without a , . resolution pledging the people to their old leaders bo long as these remain faithful , to their triecf friends , who have braved the battle am . I the breeze , io their own national organisation , whio . h they know to be legal and efficient , and to the evidence of sincerity to tho cause by enrolment in the i National Charter Association . This is the advice wo Rfre the people ; wo give it in all sincerity and earn * "stness ; and we tell them , that if it be not heeded , v bey are likely to have bitter and abundant reasonr fo ^ repentance . " We wish to recall attention to this advice , and to intreat tbe people never to losesh ^ at of it . We do

so the more particularly , because we hear that during the past week a meeting of Complete SuffragiBts at Bristol , was disturbed and opposed by Chartists . If this waa so , ifc was very wrong . It was affording , so far as it went , just cause for the very complaints of intolerance and violence which the Complete Suffragists urge as a pretext for dividing the strength of our common body by refusing to unite with us . Again we say , " the peopjle must kot oppose them . " They profess to assert and advocate cur principles ; and when they meet for that purpose , as seems to have been the case at
Bristol , they should surely bo allowed to do so peaceably , and in their own way . The duty of Chartists in reference to the Complete Suffrage ' union is very clear . It is their duty , while they carefully avoid joining or in any way actively assisting the union , to avoid , as carefully , the offering of any opposition or annoyance to thern . Attend all their meetings ; and , so long as they assert without compromising our principles , take no part in their meetings ; leave them to do their own work ,
unaided , but unmolested ; but if any compromise be attempted—any shirking or burking of any of our great questions , or any making of them subservient to " Free Trade , " or "Corn Law Repeal , " or "Poor Law Repeal , " or any other isolated matter—or if either Whigs or Tories take the field in opposition to the Complete Suffragists , then let the Chartists do their duty ; let every other consideration merge in the great consideration of tho assertion and upholding of the glorious principles of Chartism .
This is the only way in which the Charter movement of the middle classes can be made to subserve the interests of our cause . Let the Chartists thus act , and , if the middle class be sincere in their ' -movement , they will soon discover their own weakness and the absolute necessity of laying aside their fastidiousness and coming to the people ; that they may have power to attain their object ; if they be insincere ; they will be fast nailed to the pillory of their own shame ; and compelled either to exhibit their true character , or to go on aiding the work of righteousness against their will . In either case , the people will thus make the most Of the middle class movement , by merely adopting the right mode of treating it .

not be g lad to &ff > rd proof of his thorough attachment to the democratic principle by making personal consideration at once bend to public consistency . Let us not be accused of denonnoipg * ' the 1 -Executive . We have an opinion on the ; matter ; we have a right to state that opinion ; and there it-is . Every other : member has an equal right to have his opinion ; and we only wish our ^ s to be taken for as much as it is worth . It is quite competent for the
people to make the alteration the Exeoutlve wish ; but itcan only be done properly and legally in one Of two ways-T-either by a general ballot , as in the election of the Executive , or by a ^ National Delegate Meeting . It is certainly not worth the expehce of a National Delegate Meeting : and a general Ballot would be just the same trouble and expen . ee ' asreeiacting tho Executive * t the right time ; eo that nothing would be gained by that , save a perfectly useless alteration , merely for the sake of change .
With respect to tho "three great Conferences " proposed to be called by the .-Executive , we really think that in the present depressed state of the country '' -the people ought to have more information as to the necessity for these Conferences than we have yet seen , before they are put to so tremendous an expence . It is a very easy thing to talk of summoriing National Conferences ; but the poor people , who have the money to find , and upon whom there are just now so many , many drags , ought . to be well satisfied of the absolute necessity for them before they aaree to them . Our own opinion is , that there
is no necessity at all for these Conferences ; at least we have not yet seen any . If the plan of the National Charter Association be duly acted on , the Executive can obtain the opinions of all its members upon any subject much more effectually by proposing the subject to their consideration , and requesting a general vote upon it , than by tho much more expensive , and mnoh less general expression of opinion * which might be obtained from a . National Delegate Meeting ; because in the former case all could vote , and consequently ail opinions would be expressed ; whereas in the latter case , very many localities being prevented , by distance and expence , from sending delegates , would be utterly unrepresented . We trust , therefore , that if
the necessity for these three conferences be apparent to the Executive , they will make it apparent to the people before calling them , and that if by any means the expense can be avoided ! it may be ; that so the people may be all the better prepared to uphold the hands of the Executive with funds for lecturing , publishing , and other absolutely necesmry purposes . We cordially reciprocate their opinion , that" the strength of the Executive lies in the command of funds , and their weakness consists in not being supported . " We trust to see them much better supported in this way than they have ever yet been ; and for that reason we are very anxious that the resources of the people should not bo subjected to needless drains .
In concluding our remarks , we again beg that the spirit of them may not be either misconstrued or misrepresented . The last Executive , in their valedictory addrers , admitted their public documents to be fit subjects for observation and comment . We hope the present Executive will not find anything here than fair comment in the few observations we have thought it our duty to make on thiB their first public document .

To accomplish their object—the forcing tha Tory Minister either to give them " Repeal " or to quit ofiice , the " Extension" men have what . they call a Conference now sitting in London . ¦ This Conference : is conjposed of parties selected by the . members of the anti-Corn Law League . When this move was determined on , it was a l s <> determined to get ' the Shopkeeping class to squeak-. out , so as : to frighten Peel , ' - if possible , vinto the demacd 8 oif the confederated Extehsionists . " Ready tools were set to work ; and ^ under
the pretext of ^ serving no partyi" "havingnothing to do with politics , " pointing out no remedy , ' * they succeeded , in one or two instances , to getthe shopkeepers to give mouth . Leeds was one instance . Before that meeting some of its concoctora had doparted for London , to ait on the "Conference "; and after the meeting others of them , who had merely been left behind to do the " humbugging" portion of the business ( "no politics ! " ) joined their colleagues , and used the Squeak so as to forward the ends of the " no politics" Corn Law Repealing gentry 1 !
In- another portion of our paper will be found a . paragraph descriptive of an interview the confode- ' rated humbugs have had with the Minister , THERE they : used the Shopkeepers' Squeaks in accordance with their present cms ; and although the poor brokenspirited humbleTiLL-ocracy " coald- - notpresasneio point out a remedy , " ithe dextrous pullers of the wires that set the "humble" ones a-danciag , took care to represent it as " ° their belief that a Repeal of the Corn Laws was- the only means of relief" " i 11 ( 0 ! how well the " no politics" dodge answers !) Disappointment was the result of this interview ; for they found that Peel too SYMPATHLSED " with the distress occasioned by " Extensions of Commerce" I and they determined to " continue their sittings , and to use every constitutional [ of conrsej means for the attainment of their objeot . "
Now then , for the " Constitutional Means" of the confederated Extension men . In their organ , the Sun , of Thursday , July 7 th , we find the foU lowing : —; " The proceedings yesterday at the anti-Com Law Conference speak for themaelve ? .

THE NEW EXECUTIVE AND THE NATIONAL ORGANiZATION . We direct attention to a letter from tho Hull members of the General Council upon this important subject , and also to the first official document of the New Executive , which we now publish . Both these documents are important , and deserving of attention . We are glad to see the New Executive awake to the importance of their position and the critical character of ' the times , as evidenced by the following extract : —
" TheExecutive , are , from the ge : ieraVappearance of the country , and information received , fully satisfied that the Government have resolved to prosecute , arrest , and imprison the leaders of the movement on the ' -least opportunity being afforded them . The Executive , therefore , caution tha niemb rs of the vSjBsociatiou against the adoption of any secret plans of resistance , and advise them to discountenance all recommendations to the use ef physical force . "
We know that the Executive have good reason for their apprehensions ; and while we rejoice to seeihat tbe brave fellows who lead on the people are not a whit dcnnfnd by the prospect , but , maugre the " exampleL" fcefore them of Frost , Williams and Jones , Clayton , Holberry , Brcok and Peddio , still " hurl "defiance at the tyrants' heads , " we should be ill performing lour duty , did we hot give each timely and necessary counsel as may tend , if heeded by the people , to make abortive all the efforts of the people ' s foes . And hence our prayer that the well-timed caution of the Hull councillors may be attended to . Our
organization in its present'state is perfectly legal / and should be perfectly adhered to . Wo havenqfoarof the people being led , by tho rascally spies of the Government , into physical outbreak . They have had enough of that . But we cannot shut our eyes to the fact , that the Tory lawa agulnat political societies—so long and eo carefully preserved by Whig conservatorsare yet upon the statute book , and that the same party by whom they were enacted , to put down the rising spirit of democracy , are now in power ; and we do feel , therefore , that if our organization benot strictly and perfectly adhered to—which it certainly
is not , at present—a handle will bo given to the enemy , of whioh they will not fail to lay hold . We purpose next week , if all be well , to call attention to this subject at some length . Wa shall reprint the plan of organization , and probably some of the comments we made upon it at its first promulgation in the amended form . We Bhall point the attention of various localities to practices existing among them , in direct contravention of its provisions , and show them what might bo the consequence . We shall endeavour to give plain and clear directions to the General Council , to the BUb-JSeoretaries ,
to the Executive Committee , and to the General Secretary ; pointing out the respective duties of all these parties . We shall give all necessary information to the members for the conducting of the election and nomination of their officers , so as to escape any legal hazard ; and show how , spite of all the cunning of the factions , the whole sooleiy may with tb . 9 aid of a national organ , bo made to work harmoniously and simultaneously as a national body while every locality shall have all the briskness and impetus of resideut self government and local exertion .
This , in tho pre sent stale of the law , is not an easy thing to be bo done as to bid defiance to an Attorney-General ; but it may be done ; and therefore it , hy all means , should be done . We never acquit ourselves of duty by encountering needless danger . Meantime , we entreat the Chartist body to beware of any tampering with their organisation . ReBtless spirits must be ever meddling , and it is not unlikely that in reference to the ' * Conferences " reconi ^ mended to be called by the Executive , mention may be made by some parties of ^ certain alterations in
the plan which they may fancy would , work more efficiently and morer ^ systematically .: The people must bear in mind that the question ig not whether a better plan than the present one could be deViaecl 1 but whether any better plan be safely practicable in the present state of the lawt We say unhesitatingly "No , " Tho amendment of the plan was the result of the most anxious , careful * and piinsful consideration of the whole question , by a large body of intelligent . men , selected ; from-the whole nation for the purpose , and having before them every Act Of Parliament bearing on the
subject . Let the people be assured that the plan can ot be again amended , a , s to any of its main provisions , for active operationwilJiont spoiling it . We are anxious to see it in f ull opcratioa ; and as our Hull friends say , adhered to , to the very letter j and hence we should give our individual voice against even the trifling alteration suggested by the Executive : namely , the alteration of the period of election from March ^ and April , to June and July . We hope that the next election of the General Council " . ' will be made all through the country at , the proper time , and iu due form , as both are specified in the organization , and that the election of the Executive will also be taken at the proper time . The members of the present Executive have ha ^ the best proof they could have oif
the people ' s confidence in the fact of the re-election of four of them , after their former period of ser » vice ; there can . be littlei 4 oubt that their services hereafter will be , equally estUnaWe to , and estimated by , the . people with their servicea heretofore ; and there can , therefore , be no reason why they should not submit themselves to re-election at the proper period , thongh a full twelvemonth may not have expired since their last re-election ; the more particularly as it will be a twelvemonth < sinoe the time when the last election ought to have taken plaoe . There is , to be sure , one member of the present Executive newly eiected ; and wko will not therefore have had his pear of office ; but we know that member too well to jaippow that he will

THE " EXTENSION OF COMMERCE " GENTRY . THEIR CONFERENCE . THE LATE MEETING OF THE LEEDS SHOPKEEPERS . "SO POLITICS" ! The " Extension" men of Leeds are sorely provoked at the remarks we thought proper to make upon the recent meeting of the Leeds shopkeepers ; and more particularly that portion of them where we stripped the f ' no politics" portion of the conepetors' humbug of its very thin and awkwardly contrived veil . They cannot disguise their chagrin . It peeps out , notwithstanding all the attempts of Mother Goose to smother and hide it .
It was an adroit attempt on the part of the "Extension men . " to turn to thek own selfish account tha very distress and privation they have themselves caused ! and there is no wonder at their grief and rage at being foiled . " Extensions of Commerce" have done their work . They have reduced tho working portion of the population to starvation and death 1 and they have brought the middling , the shopkeeping , class to beggary and rain . But while they have done this , they have given MILLIONS and "HUNDREDS
OF THOUSANDS" to our Mahshalls and bur Gorrs ; our Peels , our Arkwuights , our Strutts , bur Boultons , our Grants , our Smiths , our Gbegs , our Cobdens , our DrERS , our Walkers , and our Dunns . Though they have yeilded such bitter fruit to two entire classes of .-the . community , the above-named individuals and a few others have made " a pretty penny" by thorn ! "It is an ill wind indeed that blows nobody good : ' . ' and the interested in ' - .. " Extensions of Commerce" have raked up to themselves immense treasure from the nation's ruin !
Their xvealth has given them powcr ^ That power they have used , and continue to use , to acquire to themselves more wealth . To do this it is necessary for them to have further " Extonsions of Commorce . " The workings of their own system have brought their t * ade almost to a stand-atiil . They have immense sums 'MnveBted " in mills and machinery . Unless these are " running ' , that "investment" makes no " return . " To find employment for their machinery , they want " Extension of Commerce . " They have got it into their noddles that a Repeal of the Corn Laws would give them such
" Extension ; ' and they , therefore , use every means within , the compass of their well-practised art and wile to procure the " Repeal . " One of their means ia to pretend to deplore the suffering they have occasioned ; to "SYMPATHISE" with the starving ; to counsel and advise the beggared and ruined ; and to press upon the Government the wretched state of the working and middling classes , with a view to the devisemeht of measures of relief : they taking good care that the only measure brought under the notice of the Minister Hhall be that one they have determined to carry for their own selfish ends!—Corn Law Repeal' !! ' , " . ' .. ''
Ever since the dismissal of the Whigs from offlce , the due bl the Extension men has been to cry tip the distress and suffering every where abounding . Before that period they denied its existence ! There is lying before us , at tlua moment , a large " blue book ' of 798 folio ps ^ s , crammed with " evidence" taken before the "Select Committee on Manufactures , Commerce , and Shipping , " in the yoar 1833 i That Committee examined Marshall , of Leeds , Greg , of Manohester , Lewis Lotd , . Kibkjian Fii « lay , Joshua Bates , Henry Hi'GHts , John Brooke , Timothy Wigqin , George de H . Labpent , and a
whole host of other millowners and merchants ; and the whole point of their evidence was to prove that the condition ef all classes of society never was so good as at that time ! that wages mere as good as they were ever known to be ; and that the workman was able , to procure everything that waaneceBBary to enable him to live in comfort and " indeperidence . " TAfi »» w aeyer were there such prosperous times , " was the cue ; and , this continued up ti thi ^ period of the ^ Whigs being thrnst out of power I Now * it is with these same partiea » •* bankruptcy ^ : itnin > >* starvatiob / ' "death ? 1
[ By-the-bye the " blue book" just spoken of contains some qiteer tbings ; some text queer things . Amongst others it contains the now mode of distbibution , under the millowners' Bystem . To make out their then case , 3 / r . Prosperity Marshall , of Leeds , was imprudent enough to give to the Committee a list of the respective rales of wages he paid his mill "hands , " averring that he had paid according to that rate for more than twenty years previonsly . This list enables us to Bee who has had the lion ' s share of the wealth produced in Marshall ' s mill- . ! ThiB list lets us into the secret of "MILLIONS" of money to ' the « proprietor ^ and of paltrv pence to the worker 11 This list is
