CAUTION ! rriHE extraordinary demand for PARR'S LIFE X PILLS has induced several shopkeepers of mean and dishonest principles , to try to impose on the incautious various counterfeits composed of the most pernicious ingredients , merely for the sake of reaping an extra profit , totally regardless of the dreadful consequences which must ensue . Observe , that each Box of the genuine Medicine has pasted round it the Government Stamp , on which is engraved these words , PARR'S LIFE PILLS in y * hits letters on a bed ground , none other can be genuine . In no instanoe has this invaluable Medicine failed to effect a perfect cure where due patienoe and perseverance has been exercised . Read the following from Mrs . Moron , York : — "York , Sept . 7 , 1841 . " Gentlemen , —We shall feel obliged by your repeating the last order for Parr ' a Life Pills , and forwarding immediately by Piokford ' s Rails . Instances of extraordinary cures are continually occurring to us by their agency . One woman who had been reduced almost to the last stage of existence by extreme asthma , was , by taking two or three boxes , restored to health . Another instance is a man who had been confined to his bed by rheumatism for sixteen weeks ; quite incapacitated for walking ; bat by simply taking two or three boxes of Parr ' s Life Pills can walk with all the activity and freedom of perfect health . I could enumerate many other instances , but these will suffice to prove the value of the Medicine in ameliorating disease and confirming health . H I remain , your obedient Servant , "ForM . MoxoN .

TO FEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQI ^ TTEK III . SrB ., —Pin * mad laat , enough has been said arid done to ooBTiDoe the mart sceptical , that the smallest raeasvre baling justice in it , ud tbe greatest auctioned by that principle , demanded by tba -waging dasaes , will be alike related by tbe ariatocracy . Then why ahum e * if a straggle nut cone , let it be fora full measure—not tot aa t « Hat ° ^ paint . If we nrnit beard tbe lion in his den , let us mika son that there will be bo need to retort to aimilar meaiuras a aeeond time . Lttusdoour work , ao that none will nave cause to lay afterwards thatjfceir grievance ! were overlooked . Such ia the oolyjpfe method of doing the job , ftod to all appear see < te only way it can be done at » U . For a fall measure all loTen of joatke will unite , though refusing
to do so (« r i single item . Nor oonld the shamzefonaer-Malthusian-expediency-clique shilly shall with reform as they have heretofore done , not show cause for dissestixg from the general movement , * x all their _ sh } ects are invelved . These would fall under the ordeal of disappointment , and return from the fire purine * in their motive * , and ooneet through necessity ; » or would any doubt remain ooneeraing whit all were contending far , as the ease , taken as a whole , is simple sad definite , sad may all be calculated beforehand , consequently aothing imperfect or insufficient need ^ be introduced . In isy last Ieti 9 r , I pointed oat pretty clearly that while ¦ monopoly exists a slave das must of necessity exist , aa bo monopoly can be but at the expence of depriving some part of the community of what justice wards ; and likewise in a menpolising system where master and servant naturally are , the demaad far labour
must in all cases square with the amount paid in monopoly , with the exception of that expended in other countries , -which cannot be reckoned upon by the labourers of this . And , farther , that the nature of employment entirely depends en the taste of those holding monopolies . We all know goods are manufactured to meet the demand of the monied classesj and these are they ; and farther still , that oar present system is a fair specimen of what monopoly will da . I bare likewise shown , that before we can safely remove the pre aent monopolising system of aerritnde and slavery , other avocations for men to exist must be concocted , understood , sad agreed upon—so much being necessary to give stability and direction to the mavexneat when the hour of trial comes ; and further , that the slave daa * need expect no relief until all this ia accomplished . And it bow remains to point out the nature of the different grades of monopoly , and the means by which everything of tt » kind may be dispensed with .
That the world , and all that is therein , is alike the sphere of action of all men ; and that all depend thereon for their very existence , bo ( me will deny , it is prepared to meet the necessities of all Nor have th&sons of men other resources to turn to . This is the patrimony of the human race , and they have n * other . And in its management and distribution , all politic * and theology axe involved . So fax the ease tt « m 1 » dear . Bat the nature of oar relation towards the material world , and to each other , and the action of a principle of justice , aa bearing thereon , is what has never yet been denned by statesmen or divinea , or had it been no other methods had been adopted to cirry it out tfn n have ever yet been employed .
The social tie or compact is the grand focus on which all other arrangements depend . If wrong , wrong must follow ; if founded in justice , it must be definite in its character , and so formed as to i * w * nA * none . All Bust enjoy equal constitutional rights , in every ease ; aa equal standing in society , under regulations so formed , that none can be deprived of any part . Those who would understand ths laws and regula tions calculated to meet this emergency , must tarn to tbe huioaa r * - ^**** , and know , once for all , the germs of the laws to govern the destiny of the human not , an inherent in the mind of man . Had the Persians known this , they would not have formed their conatitation iai nature to meet that of a ram ; nor would toe Grecians have formed their system in accordance
with that of a goat ; nor the ancient Romans , like that of a leopard , as if the nature of man , and the nature of any of these creatures , were the same , that he should be subjected to usage agreeable to these . Nor would the priesthood have thrown a limb's tkin over Conatantiae ' B leopard , and permitted its spirit to remain , as if men were leopards , in nature , though different to appearance . Nor would the more modern lawgivers have thought of governing with no constitution at all ; as if human nature was of so consequence * as retards law-making . Let those who would correct their error * take a different course ; let tbem admit hum *™ nature as their data ; by so doing great mysteries win be made plain ; and they will detect
constitutional errors , and political frauds , foiged , whether by mistake or design , anterior to to the days of Abraham , and which exist to this hour . Grievance * , to correct which the tea resolution * were presented to Moses , to correct whkh the prophets wrangled with the aristocratieal rulers of the several ages in - which they lived , to correct which the Saviour came among us , and promulgated his doctrines ; and many since have filled similar avoeatbns , aad all have come short of the mark . Let us at lest believe the Saviour meant human nature ( and sot that of the beasts of the field ) , when ha spake of constitutional law : and with that understanding try the merits of his doctrin ££ .
It is now ascertained philosophically , supported by Revelation , and borne oat by actual observation , that there are seven principles is the human mind whieh connect mankind with the wiytgr foi worid , and with each other ; consequent ] j there are seven natural rights As it is the right of all mea that all and each of these principle * should meet their respective objects undisturbed : and the nature and object of a principle of justice is to give laws to effect this . Of the principles in question , three bring men in contact with , the material world , and may be expressed thui : —Lore of food , love of property , and love of power . No monopoly can be as regards the material world , but in conjunction -with the avocations of one or more of these
principle * . The others affect mea in their rehvUon to each other , and maybe expressed thus . —Love of society ; love of home ; love of offspring ; and sexual love ; further than these seven principles and their several objects , no misunderstanding cut arise among ' men , in as far as this worid asd their intercourse are conversed ; all monopolies , all urjort legislation , all wronga , either public or private , are traceable to the misdirection of some or other , or altogether of these principles ; and the application of a principle of justice , for the guidance of these in their relation to their seven ] objeeia , is all that is required to put an end to all the mi * ery and injury that men through ignorance have mutually inflicted on each other .
Sir , laoi at the foundation , and say . how far Chiit ' sm goes to remedy the evil , or what point is lea worthy of coasderatiOB , than that on which the People ' s Chaitar retti ; it will be perceived-that that document is grounded on one of the heads in question , namely love of power , and of course is right in as far as it goes ; but it should be kept in view , Universal Suffrage , and the People ' s Charier , are two different things , the vote for Members of Parliament is untxceptiocaftle , but other ftmctionariea hold trust , who require to be looked aftar as wvD as they , and consequently should come under the same veto .
Still the gmterror ia , that of resisting tbe considerattoa of the other heads altogether ; whieh of thete is less important than that on whkh the Charter rests , or how comes tbe right to vote to be more a political question than any of the ttbers ? is it not necessary that all and each of these rights should be established by Act ol Parliament ? Is the monopoly of the prodne . of labour less impertatt , or the monopoly cf the natural material , that justice should not preside over theseor the monopoly of combination , force , and compulsion —or of bixt ^ right—dt of education—or ia tbe victim of seduction , and the woes of the brothel , a thing to pus over in sUenee ? In either of these cases , laws founded to jostle * any be applied ; and I call on the rappoitsn of democracy to show cause why they should not—or failing to do so , to form the Chatter of our rights so as to demand the whole .
A primary reason why all these principles in their relation to taeir respective objects , should be under tike guidance of a principle of justice ia tbe following : —the human heart Voves to have abundance of the -good things of this life ; and likewise to be the possessors of property , and to have power ; bat it so happens that all are T »™ n « r in theae respects ; then why is the sodal tie made to admit part to participate in those bleating * , and to exclude others ? Had justice been as its formatter , this had not been tbe ease ; likewise the rnmaa heart loves independence , and to have a home ; and to have offspring , and to enjoy aenaual love . Now were only a part of the human family led iastiactireJy to regard those bksaings , or were depefedeat- oa &e necessaries derived from these sources ? tfeeavaay i , let those enjoy them , and exc . ude the rest ; tat aiaoa afi are alike susceptible and depen dent , tf Jartlti is at all to be attended to , the social tie must be formed so aa to secure the Mifingn alike

He mtmopaif of pndmoc , whose equivalent is labour ; the aomopo ! g 0 / btad , whose cqwvalesft Is money ; the mo * apefr 0 / power , whose cquvasaafc k atavwy ; and to maintain those , all its laws , w ^ aioaa , aad eacxfy » are directed ; to maintain these , all . that makes man a social a&d intelligent being has been diverted from its natural course ; the fcmwii of wnioa Setwesn maia aad mm h * . va been Bro ken up : the taws of primogeniture and entail have of

still all the dispute is concerning these . First , the monopoly of land ; of itself this ia of small value , nature yields not , consequently all depends on labour ; money commands labour , and labour produces the necessaries of life , and land furnishes the ingredients from which these are produced , consequently the constitution stands thus : —money being the acting impulse , those who possess it . give the holders of the earth bo much foe the use of their community , and the holders of labour , so much for theirs j these operating on each other produce articles of commtroa , so the natural simple proposition of the case stands , —the monopoly of power being only serviceable for the maintenenee of theae others relations . From this , view the position ol the representatives of labour : first , the land monopolists have
deprived them of their patrimony , and from their position in society , and the countless number who Uvv on their produce , and labour not , we mayjadgehow far they are equitably dealt with by tbe money-holders ; a&d third and lastly , the monopoly of machinery . To the working part of the community this is injustice even according to the established order of things ; if the original agreement was that one party should hold the soil , and another its produce , neither bad a right to employ & neutral agent to deprive the holders of labour of what the constitution awarded to them , namely , the profits derived from toil ; to the full amount of all ever produced by machinery and pocketed by the moneyholders , has labour been deprived of its constitutional reward ; from whieh consideration concerning tbe
conduct of the money-holders , to the holders of labour ( not mentioning the inadequate remuneration for labour at all times ) it is gross impudence in them to come forward and ask the holders of labour to assist them in fighting their battles with the holders of land ; we know it U tbe Interest of the money-holders , that land should be cheap and labour cheap . It is the interest of the holders of each of these , that their respective commodities should be dear ; to meet whieh the landholders to defend their Bide of the question , have enacted the Corn Laws and other similar imposts , through which they have still been able to keep their grounds , while on the other hand , labour being wholly unprotected has gradually sunk under both . Had the money-holders heretofore dealt fairly with the rights of labour , those who live thereby might now assist to reduce the price of land ; but aa it ia , that must remain a neutral
question with them , while the money-holder baa the power to put the difference in their pocketa Would tht > y know the intentions of these men towards their aide ef the question , It may be tasted thus : —lay a tax on machinery of all kinds , according to produce , so th % t upon the whole , all work done thereby shall exceed the price of tbe same thing done by band labour , with a restriction to exclude foreigners from supplying the demand . Such enactments would do for labour what t&e Com Laws would do for land , viz , raise its value . But would the money-holders comply with this ? the cry against tie iniquitous Com Laws , && , is nothing- to what would be raised against that . Still were it possible to enforce such laws , would any good result from it ? All that could be attained from such enactments , would be merely the continuance of a system of Government in whose formation justice has no part
Ton who depend on labour leave these parties to manage their matters as they beat can ; your cause ia not involved in their squabbles , nor its remedy in the objects they contend for . The constitution ia grounded on tbe monopoly of your rights , and nothing short of a total dissolution , and a return to natural principles , can avert your doom . By taking this course , you may yet bs able to assume that position on this earth that nature intended and justice entities you to . Of the nature and number of your rights , I have spoken already ; and it now remains to point out tbe nature » f laws necessary to establish and «"^ 'n * % in them . But aa these are the constitutional laws of a Christian Government , and , consequently , ths real Charter of our rights , I shall reserve their consideration for my next ; aad we shall then see , by the way theae are received , how far I am justified in saying the many know not their rights , nor h « w they are to be attained , even if they had the power .
In the mean time—to know we have rights la one thins , and to know the nature of the laws whereby they may be established ia another , and both are alike important ; still , from the exertions at present employed to attain this very desirable end , I cannot anticipate much opposition to a set of laws whose establish ment would at once and permanently secure this to all ; competition or co-operation ia the work , aa competition ia the result of injustice , ao co-operation flows from laws founded on justice ; whether ia it better to cooperate with others in ^ taintaining the just equilibrium of our rights , or spend our days in competition to gain a scanty portion of the bounty of nature from the happy few who monopolise all to themselves ? Oar constitution ia made to completely exclude the greater part , and competition ia the result , aa
all must live ; and if the means of existence are monopo lised , they mast be procured at whateTer prioa from those enjoying the extraordinary privilege of possessing them ; by altering the constitution so aa to include all co-operation must follow , as the cause of competition ia entirely removed , sod the object of man ' s pursuits wholly altered in the me case ; his object is to secure a standing in the other to maintain what ia already secured . Tbe advent of a principle of justice bequeaths this much to all mankind , without any exertion ou their part , farther than Urict adherence to the laws of heaven , and so much we deprive ourselves of by trampling on Tnrtirm » l rights ; this is tbe bounty of heaven , mnd adaereaoa to justice and benevolence , are the conditi » ns on whkh we enjoy it ; nor will it do for those who contend for justice to overlook tola view of the case . I have the honour to be . Sir , Tour obdt . servant , CHaBLES DV 3 CAH . Canon-strett , Canon-mills , Edinburgh , Dec 6 th , 1841 .
