      THE REQUIEM OF THE CHARTER . £ txkt week furnishes mere and more evidence rtjji " Chartism is dead . " The last week shewed as yfhiggerj in strong convulsions , heaving its death * ^ joe ii thfi Muse-hall it Leeds , and of which we [ itTB taken doe notice in another article , while our pjeeent columns contain the proud records of the glorious demonstrations of Haddersfield and Leeds ¦ ffe have reported both *\ length , and we refer jto Ibem with pride ; from as they need so comment . ^ REQUIEM OF THE CHARTER . mt week furnishes more and more evidence

      fcey tell their own story—a story fraught with hoj * to honesty , and with despair to factious role . Most heartily , and from our bouIb , do we congratulate the people of all England on the stand taken , not only by Hadderefield but Leeds—Leeds , the stronghold tf Whis kery—Leeds , that has been so long dosed , nth Mercury—that has so long humoured thejpaces of her political " Neddy , " has leaped from the low pddle on her feet , and stood bold upright to the ^ gton ishment and great discomfiture of ** NedDT " jjjd iiis drivers .

      We baTe been desired , fey the Dinner Committee , fe > express their warmest thanks to the men of Leeds for tbeir noble display on Monday last ; and ! re would add thereto our own . We adopt , as expressive of our own sentiments , the Committee ' s bagnage j when they said to the Leeds Radical * : — * Ton & * re not only Bhown to the people of Leeds , boi abo to the "United Kingdom , that you hold those princip les which are based upon truth and justice UJte ejes of the three countries hare been upon yon , to see whether you were on the Bide of the

      Household Suffrage party , or on the side of Umtmsal gafjrige ; you hare given them , by your splendid demonstration , an emphatic answer that * Ujoterlii Scttsagb axd xo StrBBKKDKB' is your motto What will the Whigs say now ! They who said , — " We have put Chartism down ; ' when they see feat Leeds , following in the wake of Birmingham and Manchester , bare given such a demonstration , that the people never witnessed its like before . Men

      of Leeds , we thank you from our hearts ; you have exceeded our most sanguine expectations , and not « ly ours , bnt all , even the most sanguine . Follow hst Monday up with zealous and energetic measures pa see now that you have the power ; use it properly and discreetly , and victory ia yours ; cherish » lore of unity amongst you , and Monday , the 7 th Of September , will be the day from 'which you may d » te the commencement of a glorious and tri-BBPhant victory .

      FOX jMAULE , A ND THE MEN O F PERTH AND CRIEF . Ma . O'Cossob has requested us , through a friend wiio visited him , to communicate his unbounded flanks to the men of Perth and Crief for their proper treatment of Fox Ma \ tlk . We can say no Bftre for the present . It was our intention to have presented our leaders with an article npon the old and valuable of hairing Members of &iliunentand

      onswm c r , o Kfcerwise keeping the whip over public men ; the lengths of our remarks upon the " Fox and Goose Gab" has , however , obliged as to postpone our remarks till next week . In the mean time , should Bcssmx venture to Stroud , we have every reliance ipon the keenness of censure in that loyal borough . 11 such means had been resorted to eight years nee , public opinion would have made the Reform HU a reality , instead of a mockery .

      Mt Lokd , —I told you in my last , that I should take m early opportunity of again addressing you ; I hasten fe fnlfil my promise . Some of the troths contained in sy last letter -were , no doubt , calculated to afford yon bk uneasiness . I am not sorry for it 2 am no pro .

Well , tile trick succeeded tot a time -, Ireland was most grateful for the "justice" not done , but promised , to her ; Dan and Ma tail helped you to keep your places ; and , while sundry promise * were made to Ireland , a boon was actually prepared for England which will secure for its autkors a conspicuous position in the blood-rtained temple of infamy . »~ v Tnflm not Tj is . mj Li . j , geaeraliy cowarda Ton were too hungry for the sweet .

      Yonr Lordahi p can hare no difficulty in supposing that I allude to the New Po * r Law . This is one of the main prop * of your Lordship ' s edifice ; a principal support on which you have reUed for BMtentation In your place ; ¦ and an examination , therefore , of its character and tendency , though it may oblige me to repeat things which have been said by others , is yet necessary , to swtain the position 1 have laid down , that your Lordship , in wielding the reform sceptre , has sought to

      only uphold the worst featnrw of partial domination nas relied mainly on the sustenance the Toriesmightafford you ; and , in the strength of that reliance , has outdone the Tones , in your tealous efforts to uproot each remaining vestige of the people ' s liberties ; while , with the mental imbecility which fltiy characterises such a crawl . £ > g tool , yOa bave shaped all your measures upen Tory plans and precedents ; wanting alike the ingenuity and boldness to invent new methods , or establish , new forms , of tyranny .

      The opinion , my Lori , fotmded on the law of nature has been holdea by the greatest men the world ever " saw , that every man carries in his own p * rson , the title-deeds of his subsistence , and has a clear right to exercise his labour on , and to demand to be supported by , nia nataye « , a . In ageg now congidered dart and **«*«*©«« , this was an axiom universally admitted a kind of social brotherhood was universally allowed and claimed , and absolute want was either known by all or none . ¥ nder the comparatively mild and just Government of our Saxon ancestors , large tracts of land were

      appropriated to each town and village as common right ; on which the labour of the poor could be employed for the production of sueh necessary fruits and grain , or the natural pasturage of wh . ch they could apply to th « support of such domesticated animals , as might best comport with their kabits and manner of living . This , in addition to the ever ready bounty of the church , ' rendered what can properly be denominated voani almost impossible . With tte Norman Conqueror came an entire ne-w order of things . The feudal

      system , with its vassalage and villainage , was then established . Still , however , much attention was paid to the comforts of the humbler classes . The great lords took care that their numerous retainers should have a due supply of what were then thought the necessaries of life ; and even where the bondsmen -were permitted to reside in cottages , detached and separate from the feudal castles , the serf was still , at all times , a free guest at the table of his chief , whenever he might choose .

      The feudal system pased iway . Trade , comraerce , and manufacture sneoeeded to eivil wars , familybroils , and sanguinary contentions . Then began the spirit of trading selfishness to prevail . Many of the enfranchised bondsmen were thrown upon their own resources or npon public charity ; but still the indigent , the infirm , the aged , the blind , the sick , the orphan , and the widow , found a resource in the munificence { of the religious orders ; until the ruthless Henry laid his sacrilegioasf hands upon those establishments , and so dried up the fountains of

      benevolence ; reducing thousands upon thousands ef the poer to beggary and destitution . Ton are not so ignorant as not to know the result . The land was filled with beggars ; and the most heart-rending records of the distresses of more thnnhnlf a century have come down to us . But men had not then learned the newfangled philosophy which teaches them to look npon the working population as the springs , and strings , and pullies of a machine , whose powers are to be calculated and directed , and the prodnce of their application appropriated , without reference to their necessities or comforts .

      At that period , my Lord , the government had some feeling for the woes of the unwilling idler , and the 43 d of Elizabeth was passed for the double purpose of providing for the wants of the poor , and affording security for persons and property . This Act was the foundation of the English Poor Laws ; and , with various modifications and amendments , always for the worse , it con . tinned to be the ruling statute on the subject till the New Poor Law was concocted and substituted for it by a " Reform" Administration ; by which the right of the poor man to liberty and life ia practi . cany abrogated ; and tile right assumed , by those ¦ who make him poor , to punhh an « l destroy him for having been made poor .

      This waa your work , my Lord ; but thongh your Lordship did the drudgery connected with the rearing of this pile of infamy , which , like the Pyramids of Egypt , shall carry , to all time , a testimony of the character of those from whom it emanated , the merit of the architecture belongs not to yeu ; So low are you and youi poor gaag degraded , that , even in the work of mischief and misrule , you can but rank as journeymen . The foundation for this attack upon the rights of labour had , long before this , been laid by the Tory aristocracy , m the robberies perpetrated on the poor by their Enclosure Bills . A plunder , by-the-bye , that

      your " order" will be made to disgorge whenever John Bull shall become sufficiently awake to the manner in ¦ whieh bis acres have been swallowed , to take the trouble of administering an emetic . These Enclosure Bills prepared the ground on which the demon of despotism was to erect his bloody palace . Then came the bloody Malthus— the High Priest of infidelity and sin—before whose ribaldry the licentiousness of the whole school , and all the schools , of infidel philosophy shrink into insignificance , or become parity by contrast

      Tbis devS-priest contrived , by the light of hi » infernal brimstone , to show you that God was a great fool ; and that when He said " increase and multiply , " He had forgotten all his calculations . TMb filthy parson , in whom all the tender charities of nature were both dead and damned , would count , with arithmetical precision the exact number of the months for whom it might be neceeary to find food , as portions of the Btatfi machine , required for the conveniences and purposes of the landed and monied aristocracy ; and would to that limit confine the population .

      It would be foreign to my present purpose to enter here upon a lengthened argument against the principles of the Malthusian theory ; but I may just , in pasuag , observe to those who thus unbluahingly blaspheme Him who has said , not by his word only , but by the irrepressible instincts of both man and beasts , " increase and multiply , and fill the earth , " that their pet argument about excessive population , creating a demand for food and clothing beyond the capabilities of nature to supply , is in the tetth of all the eridence which we can gather from experience . The productive powere of nature , whBn combined with , and directed by , the skill and industry of man , are such as to transcend all

      the conceptions we can form upon the subject . It is not because , food for the supply of the people cannot be produced , Jhat the Malthusian philosophers would pu : a check on population ; nor is it because the population is too large that men find it difficult to obtain food for themselves and families—it is because labour is ruled by capital , and because wealth is unequally , and , by consequence , unjustly , distributed . There is wealth enough in the country to make ail the people happy and contented ; but tilings are bo managed that those wno produce all get nothing ; while the drones of society monopolise the whole . Thus , then , of this infernal monument of bloody recklessness the

      Ifew Poor Law—the plan was all laid and the gromnd set out by the Tory Parliament , and the foundation laid by the Devtrs priest ; but , further than the prospective of the building , the Tories never ventured . They left to their " liberal '' successors , their ready and subservient tools and journeymen , the ¦• ' base , bloody , and brutal" Whigs , to nprear the superstructure ; and to cover and cement it by the Frenchified Police . They have been over-looking every stage of the erection ; they have issued constantly their orders to their workmen ; and they wait only the completion of the edifice to step in and take possession of it as their own ; turning you adrift until they may need you for some further drudgery .

      | It of ten happens that the crafty fall into their own snare , and it needs but slight disc ernment to discover , in the signs of the times , a cheering evidence that their and your day is well nigh done . The intelligence of the people is becoming much too general to warrant the supposition that they will much longer bear with this and many other atrocities , alike oppressive , unconstitu-

      which appeared in the last three publications of the Star , be reprinted in a small tract , and extensively Circulated amongst the several agents and stationers in tht kingdom , believing it to he a powerful and beneficial means of propagating political knowledge amongst the people , and thereby advancing the came of real Democracy . He would also suggest the propriety of the different branches belonging to the National Charter Association , establishing and opening in their respective localities , rooms as commodious as possible , for the purpose of giving weekly lectures on the principles of the

      Peoples Charter ; and that a deputation , appointed by the several committees of the National Charter Association , do hold a conference with such of the middle classes , who joined xmlh us , and professed to be sincere advocates of the People ' s Charter , previous to the \ 2 th of August , 1839 , but who have since wit / tdrawn their support—that this deputation be empowered to ask those deserters , with all manner of civility and respect , the cause of their desertion } and to show them that physical force being note abandoned by the Chartists in the present agitation , therefore , they can have no pretert upon this footing to screen their hypocrisy .

      TO THB EDITOR OF THB NORTHERN STAB . Sib , —I beg leave , through the columns of your truly Democratic journal , to request that any Radical , who has any boold ef general literature , not of a theological or political tendency , who thinks proper to lend the same to his imprisoned friends at Wakefleld House of Correction , will send the same , directed to me , to the Star Office , and I will see them rightly applied , and carefully returned to the owners , who will be pleased to write taeii names on the inside of the cover . All magazines , or works published in numbers , or separate eheeta , will be tnankfully received by the prisoners . They thonld be wrapped in brown paper covers , and will get no damage . When it is considered that books axe the only solace to the indescribable horrors of the ' silent system , " I hope to Bee the men constantly supplied with them . '

      I bIbo take the liberty of requesting that the Radicals of the West Riding will enter into a small subscription for the purpose of supplying the prisoners with two pair of flannel drawers , two flannel ahirta , and two fliinnel night caps each . These things are indispensable , as , without them , they Will have to endure extreme suffering from cold . If any sum should be entrusted to me for that purpose , I will undertake to supply them with all such things as they are allowed to receive , and will account for the money in the Northern Star . Before concluding , allow me also to say , in answer to many Inquiries and invitations already received , that I am pledged to the Chartist victims of this horrible system of devilry , to attend meetings for Uie purpose of exposing its atrocities , in any part of the West Riding to which I may be invited . All communications may be addressed to me , at your office . Y « UT 8 , 4 c ., George Whitb .

      SUNDAY POLITICS . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —In the last number of your soul-stirring journal , I have read a resolution of the Barnsley Charter Association refusing to send a delegate to a meeting because it was held on the Sabbath , and assigning as a reason , that such meetings produce no good , and are calculated to txcite much prejudice . Of the truth of this latter assertion I hare no doubt ; bat are we , when an action ia good , to Haten to the voice of a parcel of ignorant fanatics ? I say no : let us be satisfied that the action is really good , and tnen let opposition and calumny be hurled in vain against us . As to political meetings on the Sabbath-day being productive of no advantage , it entirely depends on the solution of the question—Whether It ia lawful to engage Ih politics on the Sabbath-day ? It is time thiB

      question should be fully settled . I have observed that part of the Chartist body believes that it is not lawful —the Newcastle and Barnsley Chartists are of this party ; whilst another part thinks the contrary , amongst whom are the men of South Durham—aye , the Bible Chartists of South Durham—and the men of Manchester . If it is lawful to be Sabbath politicians , it is high time for the working men to devote that day to the holy purpose of freeing their country from slavery and vice , by the promotion of the People ' s Charter by every means in th p ir power . I bave reflected much on this question ; and , after anxious Consideration , I have come to the conclusion that it Is truly lawful to do this good on the Sabbath-Uay . The Bible is my rule of faith and practice ; and from its pages I am prepared to prove that my position is Scriptural .

      If , Sir , you can spare me a short space ia your bright luminary for two or three weeks , I will endeavour , as far as my feeble talents will allow me , to clear up a question which has been long shrouded hi the mista of ignorance and priestcraft I remain , Sir , Your faithful friend , A Bible Chartist .

      THE RELIGION" OF CHARTISM . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . " Let us consider one another , to provoke unto love and to good works ; not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together . "—^ . Paul . Sir , —The circumstances of the Primitive Christians were quite similar to those of tho Chartists of the present day ; for heathen superstition , like the ignorance of modern times , conld use only one mode of argument —the sword . The author of our holy religion declared that he was " not come to give peace on earth , but rather division . " The words , however , as they are recorded in the

      12 th chapter of St . Luke ' s Gospel , will bear tWs paraphrase— " Though I am come with glad news from heaven , to proclaim peace on earth and good-will from God to man , yet the mea of this darkling world will have nothing to do with peace ; they will raise the 8 word of persecution against me and my followers , for they are an ignorant and wicked generation of hypocrites , who can , indeed , judge of foul weather when they see a cloud arise in the west , or of heat when they see the south wind blow ; but they do not discern the signs of the times . Beware , my followers , of the world ; and by all means keep out of the iron grasp of the law ] else you will be stripped of your last mite . "

      Need we wonder , then , that the Primitive Christians frequently assembled together , both to solicit divine counsel , and to seek in the society of each other those comforts which they were often denied in their own families . " For as iron sharpeneth iron , so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend . " The apostle had marked the , additional zeal and'power acquired by close unity and regular Christian fellowship , and exhorted them still " to provoke one another U love and to good works , not forsaking the assembling of themselves together . "

      Sir , knowiBg how much our cause has suffered from the apostles of the world , and from preachers maintained by the middle classes , I am anxious to see OUT people have places of worship for themselves , that they may be no longer left to the alternative of spending their Sabbaths at home , or assembling to offer the " sacrifice of fools , " with men whose principles are divided from ours by a wider breach than ever divided the Jews from the Samaritans . We are a people " scattered and peeled—a nation meted out and trodden under foot" And ahall we not unite to raiBe places of worship for ourselves , that we may hear the pure Gospel from ministers of our own choosing , who bear their credentials from the God of heaven , and not from the gods of Cambridge and Oxford ?

      The working classes have strong arms and willing liearts . If their means are small , the outlay will be comparatively small , and as school-rooms and rooms for political meetings are continually needed , there will be an immense saving in the end . No elegant building 18 required , but a plain room of one story high ( for that would be beatadapted to its manifold uses ) , simply furnished , with a platform at one end , to hold the preacher and his singers on Sundays , and the speakers at political or other meetings . But , laying aside temporal considerations , let us look to the great spiritual advantages that would accrue .

      Untitled Article

      We learn from the history of our religion its fair beginning , and that so long as its sacred offices were filled by the poor , the Church was pure and catholic . It was when the Scriptures were taken from the poor , and creeds and prayers prescribed to them by schoolmen and sophists , who were put into the ministry , that the religious world became divided into factions , and every class began to overstrain their favourite doctrines , in order to confirm their own peculiar opinions . Restore the sacred offices of religion to the poor , and religious nicknames are wiped away . We will offer the L ° learn _ fr ° ™ th « **»*¦ ° L * " **!? teto

      right hand of fellowship to " all who love our Lord Jesus Christ , " and acknowledge the equal rights Y > f men . Restore the sacred offices of religion to the worSring man , and he win prove that there is no mystery in the doctrines , of the cross ; for his head is clear enough to understand the Gospel that was first preached to the p « or , by the » , reputed son of the carpenter , himself a working man , who , although " he made bis grave with the wicked , and-with the rich in his death , " yet he chose the labouring mart sttd the poor for bia companions in life , and made the meet and lowly his chief ministers . ' ¦•• ¦

      Restore , I say , religion to the poor , and the sfcritpf its author will again be among us . The voice of Uid turtle will again be heard in our land . " The Church ' s sons shall come from afar , and her daughters shall be nursed at her side . The envy also of Ephraim ahall depart , and the adversaries of Jutlah shall be cut off . Ephraim shall not envy Judan , and Judah shall not vt-x Ephraim ; for he shall set up an ensign for the nations , and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel , and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth . " Clbricus .

      THE LAND ! THE LAND ! THE LAND ! Mr . Editor , —Feeling myself deeply interested In the welfare of my fellow-men , especially those wbo are the producers of all Wealth . ! beg , through the medium of your valuable and widely circulated columns , to call the attention of your readers to the important subject of THE LAND' THE LAND ! THE LAND ! I think it will be admitted on all bands—by men of all parties , of ail sects and creeds , that the present state of society—whether Heathen , Mahometan -or Christian , sooaUed—la a state of confusion and disorder , uncertainty and poverty , as it regards the balk of the working classes : witness British India on the one hand ) Ireland and England ou the other . I may pass over the poor Mahometans in Syria and elsewhere ; for I think I need say no more to prove my position . The question then immediately arisas—Whence proceeds all this misery , &c ?

      The answer as to the remote cause might be given in one word ; but the more immediate causes are bo numerous , that we may pass them by for the present , and proceed to inquire—flow long is such a state of things to continue ? We answer—So long as the bulk ef a nation devote themselves to competitive trade and commerce , and so long as individuals are exclusively dependant for support upon such a system . I call upon your readers , Sir , to examine the pages of history , to compare them with the existing state of society , and then say if tbis my second proposition be not equally true .

      We ore led in the next place to look out for a remedy . Some say—Repeal 4 he Corn Laws ; others say—Let the Charter become the law of the land . Now , Sir , my object Is not to impede the Charter—for I am an outand-out Chartist myself ( by the way , I am not a physical-force man ) 5 I say the Charter , the whole Churier , and nothing less than the Charter : but , Sir , we want more ; and more we must have before the bulk of the nation will be well fed and well clothed . We must have the land . The laud , Sir , is the only thing that can effect the object desired : for when exchanges fluctuate , when commerce droops and trade lingers , when stagnation and panic ensues , the land , Ood ' sffi / t to man , the land , I say , remains unmoved , and in this sense is immovable . The great God of the Universe has graciously promised that seed time and harvest , summer

      and winter , and day and night , sball not cease . Possessed of but a small plot of land ( we don't want it all ) , no man would want the necessaries © f life , ( thousands and millions want them now , ) or , if h » did , the fault would be his own , and , as a general rale , he would deserve to starve , for he that will not work , neither should he eat The continual tide of emigration to almost all parts of the globe , proves the unconquerable desire of the human family to obtain possession of the land . The system of Inciting labourers on the laad has been recommended flgain and again in our own country , in our times , by wise men and philanthropists , by rich and even interested parties . Common sense says get the land ! The author of out- being said in effect to our first parents , " Here is the land . ' 'twos made for you , take possession of it , multiply , replenish and subdue it ; sweat , and till , and eat 1 ! . '

      If any of your readers are believers in divine revelation , and I doubt that thousands are , and if they hold the doctrine of the iuillenium , which no doubt many of them do , let me ask them , if the Jand is not a very essential part of the blessings promised in that era ? Awake , then , ye who call yourselves Christians , ( for many who reject Christianity are wide awake already , > aad consider your indubitable privilege . 'Tistrue , you are exhorted , having food and raiment to be therewith content—but this necessarily presupposes that you have both food and raiment Now . let me ask

      you , is that the case ? The fact is , you have bnt a scanty and inefficient supply of either , or probably nearly destitute of both . Would tula be the case if you were possessed of the land ? Certainly not f I think , Mr . Editor , I may now safely assert that theaequisition , possession and cultivation of the land , appears to be absolutely necessary for a regular and plentiful supply of what every man working requires—food and raiment Observe , I do not say that nothing more is needed ; but these , at all events , are indispensable . The history of toe world , and our observations , prove the point

      I venture to make one more assertion only for the present , and that is—That there is nothing in the genius and character of Christianity whatever priests and parsons may say to the contrary ) that forbids us to secure the land ; but that we are fully warranted , by many of its requirements , to use every honest and laudable means to do so 1 Should these ideas meet your views , or if you will kindly allow them a place in your columas , you shall hear from me again , when I will pursue the subject a little further , and suggest the means by which it may be effected ; for the present , I remain , Dear Sr , Yours , traly , A Christian Socialist . ? TO THB EDITOR OF THB NORTHERN 9 TAR . Preston , Sept 8 th , 1840 .

      8 m , —The enclosed letter , received from G . H . Smith , a victim of Whlggery , confined in Preston Hou * e of Correction , for eighteen months , I have transmitted for insertion in your valuable journal , according to the request of the writer . I am , yours , respectfully , George Halton . House of Correction , Preston , 7 th September , 1840 . Dear Sir , —It has at last become my painful duty to inform you , I am now apparently fast approaching towards eternity . This morning , about six o'clock , I endeavoured to evacuate my urine , when a severe

      heaviness spread throughout my whole frame , I was unable to state my condition to my fellow-prisoners . However , ¦ witU some difficulty , I made my way to the cloaestool in the next room of our hospital . I had not been there more than one minute when I fell and fainted ; in this state I lay without help until I recovered my senses . Oh , how shall I be able to tell you my agonies ; you will bu better able to conceive than I can describe my awful sufferings . When-1 say that ^ I vomited blood , which ran down my beard , my agonising groans attracted the attention of my fellow-prisoners who were in the next room , who kindly came and tendered me all the assistance in their power .

      Oh , Sir , I hope never to forget the humanity of a poor man who lies sick in the hospital . He saw I conltl not eat my skilly ; he therefore offered me some tea and bread and butter , which he is now allowed on account of being ill of a fever . This kind offer I accepted , and , though sick , I managed to eat with som « relish , and drank of his tea . I will not comment upon the matter , yet I trust you will cause the insertion of this in some provincial or daily journal . I will now leave this matter in your hands ; in the mean time , I will , as usual , pray for the delivery of our almost ruined country and myself , that we may be safely delivered from the hands Of the Philistines . Believe me to be , Yours , truly , until death , George Henry Smith .

      P . S . —Please to write to Lawrence Pitkethly , Esq ., draper , Hudderafteld , Yorkshire , and say Margaret Duffy lives at Mr . " John Read's , Holly Croft . Sheffield , and when I obtain some paper and am better , will write to him myself . Again , adieu , remttmber me to our Preston Chartist friends .
