      Letter Vii

      ftem from devoting much of their time to the studv of theacience of politics or political principles . To this he replied , saying , " that he knew more about politics than I did ; because he had more time to read the newspapers than I . " Had he not been a clergyman , —and a good , hearty , honest one he is , — I would have told him what that great man , the late Mr . Cobbett , said of ' that class of politicians who rely npon newspapers for their knowledge-of

      po-Jitical principles ; he cUssed them all under the head "Pot-lonse politicians . " I merely mention this circumstance to illustrate the complete and total state of political ignorance in which the poor associates , the payer of a shilling , must be , when a parish priest , —and a good one , too , was under the impres sion , that Mr . O'Connell was seeking for a Repeal of the Union , and that he himself was a profound politician because lie had leisure to read Repeal speeches in Repeal newspapers .

      But to return to " Tonng Ireland , " for whose wilful blindness there is no excuse ; because they were on the spot ; they had daily intercourse with their " august lender ; " they -vied with that drunken buffoon , and ill-bred , vulgar sycophant , Tom Steele , in fulsome adulations of the sublime ethicks of Conciliation HalL They were present on Monday , the 14 th of August , 1843 , when Mr- O'Connell made the following offer of the Repeal movement to the Duke of Wellington : —

      / 'He ( Mr . O'Connell ) found that , on the coast of . Newfoundland much blood had been shed by the sailors of an English ship , and the Duke of Wellington might shortly want to draw troops oat of Ireland -when his light to shoot Frenchmen -was disputed by France on more than equal terms . ( Hear , hear . ) But , let him interest Ireland in his cause , and he might set the vrorld at defiance . "What , he asked , would he be at Waterloo or in Spain , if he had not the Irish people to sustain him . He ( Mr . O'Connell } would now offer to sell him a good bargain ; lie would give him Ireland , if he gave Ireland justice . "

      Now , the proprietor ef the Nation was not only present when this offer to sell the Repeal movement "to the Tory administration was formally made , but -handed iu the sum of £ 48 9 s ., Repeal rent , with , out one word of remonstrance against this lease ¦ offer . The " Tonng Ireland" party were present upon SEveral other occasions when offers were made to abandon Reoeal upon similar conditions . This

      being the case what right had they to refuse com pliance with the ridiculous resolutions recently propounded by Mr , John O'Connell ? Compliance with those moral force delusions was not half nor quarter so degrading as the slavish silence observed upon several occasions , when it was not only plainly stated , but actually resolved , that the Repeal agitation should not disparage the agitators' claims on the government , the pledged foes of Repeal .

      In my next letter , I shall have a word or two with the Rev . Daniel Ilearne of Manchester ; with the Rsv . Dr . Miley of Dublin ; and with His Grace the Archbishop of Tuam touching his last letter to lord John Russell and other matters . It shall also contain some very interesting extracts from Mr . O'Connell ' s speeches , letters and resolutions , showing how dexterously the poor working classes have been wheeled about , and turned about , during the last forty-six years , and left twentv-three times

      worse off than they were when their benefactor gave them the first turn . In the meantime , I beg of them to bear in mind that no man is their friend , but the man who will help them to get the franchise 70 S XTEBT MILE INHABITANT OF THIS EMPIRE , (/» funis , insane persons , and criminals , only extepttd .

      The Executive Committee have to call the attention of the Association , and those friendly to its principles , to a resolution of the late Convention , agreeing to raiso a sum of money for the purpose of alleviating the sufferinss which are now being endured by Zephaniah Williams and William Jones . An appeal was made a short time ago on behalf of Mr . Frost , which ias been responded to in a manner worthy ofthe Chartist body , upwards of £ 300 has been received on account of that gentleman , which will be dulv forwarded to him , and the Executive think , that in fairness to the other two exiles , and

      in order to carry out the resolution of the Convention , it is necessary that the subscriptions for Mr . Frost now cease , " and that one be immediately entered into for Messrs . Williams and Jones . The Executive wish it to be distinctly understood , that they have witnessed the feeling manifested towards Mr . Frost , ( as evidenced by the amount of the subscription , ) with inexpressible delight and satisfaction , hut at the same time a sense of justice towards his compatriots compel them to give publicity to their opinions upon the subject , and they hope that such opinion will be at once acted upon by the country . ...

      The Convention determined that the subscription for Messrs . Williams and Jones should remain open for one teak , and elected Mr . O'Connor to hll the situation of treasurer . Thomas Maetix Wheeler , Secretary .

      ASIITON-UNDE R-LYNE . A Meeting of the Shareholders of the Ashton Branch of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , took place it * the Chartist Room , Bentiek-street , on Sunday , the 6 th of September , when the adjourned discussion was resumed , from last Sunday , on " the transfer of shares between Joseph Mills and Alfred Barber . * ' which lasted about two hours , when the following resolution was passed . Moved bv-Mr . Macguiness , and seconded by Mr . Felling : — ' - That we , the Shareholders of the above Branch of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , are of opinion , that the transfer of shares between Joseph Mills and Alfred Barber ,. is right and just , and in accordance with the rules . Moved by Mr . Macguiness , and seconded by Mr . Mellor : —

      aoove ue Star . OPENING OF A DISTRICT OF THE LAND SOCIETY AT TOTTENHAM , MIDDLESEX . On Monday evening , September the Tth , Messrs . Clark and Doyle , two of the Directors ofthe Chartist Co-operative Land Society , accompanied by , a deputation , consisting of Messrs . J . Gathard , E . Stallwood , and several other friends , proceeded per Eastern Counties Railway , to the far famed town of Tottenham , . whither they had been invited , to expound the principles and practices of the Chartist Cooperative Land Society . The meeting was held at the Hope Tavern , Marsh Lane .

      Mr . Barker was unanimously called to the chair , and said the intention ol' the society of which he hnd the . honour to bo a humble advocate ; was to form comfortable homes for those who had been called lower orders , and if bv this term was meant the basis , or structure on which was built thepyramid . of JSritain ' s t-reatness , he agreed with it ; for most assuredly labour was the source of all wealth —( cheers)—but it was ' only by the direction of this wealth into proper channels , and causing it to be niore equitably distributed than it was at present , that : could render the working classes comfortable , happy ; and free . ( Loud cheers . )

      Mr ! Doyle said , he always expected to fiud that when it fell to his . lot to go into a new district ,, that prejudice , with " all her exaggeration ' s and " hiista ' teraents had preceded him " , and if . such was the case here , he only looked . to thai fair play-usually awarded by Englishmen , to enable him to remove it . He found that meetings were of unusual occurrence in Tottenham , but henceforward they would have frequent opportunities " of becoiuine : better acquainted with their social and- ' -political , rights . The . society he had the pleasure of introducing to their . notice : had been

      rather better th ' an ; . twelve months in existence , and had ; enrolled'some 12 , 000 " members and . created a ftind ~ £ f > . i * 14 ; OO 0 ' . . He then ' entered into a most lucid , •^ position of-the principles and practices of the so-¦ oietyvand said from the enormous price charged aa rental for small plots of grounii , it was utterly futile , to expect any great advantages ' to accrue tho working classes by individual ' exertions ; it was only by co-operation ef means , and buyihj ; laud in the wholesale market , that the great blessissgs . of every man being possessed of his own house , ' and his own Ian ' , could be ensured . ( Loud cheers . )

      Mr . Thomas Clark was next introduced and said , he was pleased to have the opportunity of addressing an agricultural audience , as'it was only fair to presume , that , they understood matters connected with the Land , " better than mechanics could do . ( Hear , hear . ) . The speaker contended for the advantage ot the Small Farm system , as put forth by the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , over that of the present plan of large and consequently badly cultivated farms , and pointed to the adjourning small allotments of land as a proof of his assertion , he said it is not because one piece of ground is called a garden , and another afieldj that causes vegetation to spring up prolifically and luxuriantl y in . the former , and so scantily and meagnie in the latter , but ,

      because in the former , from its size the possessor has the opportunity of employing more time in its culture , and more means to expend in feeding or manuring it . ( Loud cheers . ) He knew that some of the landed aristocracy asked , " If the working classes get land , what will become of us ? " but he , as an Irishman , answered the question by asking another , viz ., "if the present system continue what is to become of the working classes ?" . He could see nothing but a Poor Law Bastile , and as Mr . Doyle had said , separation from his wife and family —( hear , hear , )—but happily the working classes had at length taken their affairs into their own hands , and had commenced practical operations , they now had an estate comprising 104 acres of their own on

      which they had erected suitable cottages , at llerrinpsgate Farm , near Riekmansworth , in the county of Hertford , and they were now in a position to buy others , and were lookingout zealously for other estates with that end in view . Mr . Clark then read a paragraph from" the Star , copied from an . Essex paper , in which it was stated that a Mr . Noor of Essex had by spade labour obtained eight quarters cf wheat per acre whereas by the plough and the usual mode of culture he would not have obtained one half the quantity . Mr . Clark concluded an eloquent and forcible address by calling on all who believed that by co-operating together they could procure house and land for themselves , and thus work oat tliei--own redemption , and sat down loudly applauded .

      Numerous copies of rules were disposed of , several shares were taken up . a district was opened , of which Mr . Godman was appointed secretary pro . tern ., and it was resolved' * That the Tottenham district of the Chartist Cooperative Land Society shall meet at the Hope Tavern , Marsh-lane , every Monday evening , at halfpast seven . " A wish was expressed by many for another visit at an early period , and offers of places of meeting in the open air , or otherwise , were abundant ; a promise was made thut their wishes would be complied with , and that due notice should be given ofthe time . A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , and the meeting separated .

      RENEWED AGITATION FOR THE CHARTER .

      REGISTER ! REGISTER !! REGISTER !!! The second of a series of meetings , for the purpose of carrying out the propositions of the late Chartist Convention , viz , to ensure the return of men to Parliament who will make the enfranchisement ol the masses , the primary object of their labours , was held at the Hall of Science , Whitcchapel , on Tuesday evening , September 8 th . The Hal ) , capable of holding 800 persons , was filled at an early hour . Mr . Thomas Mills was unanimously called to the chair , and said , he looked upon the present moment as one of the best that ever took place , and one well calculated to give happiness and freedom to the whole human race .

      Mr . Clark came forward , ranch applauded , and said , he had to make an apology for his friend , Philip M'Grath . Mr . M'Grath , in consequence of the illness of Mr . Ernest Jones , had been compelled to accompany Mr . O'Connor to Devonshire , where , on Monday evening , they had attended one ofthe most magnificent asseniblatjes that had ever been held in the western division of that country , 200 miles from the metropolis . ( Loud cheers . ) Such being the case , he trusted , they would allow him to give a report of the doings of the late Convention , iVr their talented representative . ( Hear , hear . ) After entering into the detail of the doingg of that body , Mr . Clark proceeded . —The Convention was in favour of renewing and increasing tho Agitation

      tor the Charter , believing , as they did . that the great mass of people favoured that measure— - ( hear , hear , ) and Thomas Wakley , one of tho few honest men , in the House of Commons , had said they never could be fairly represented until such times as men of their order had an opportunity of standing on the floor of the House of Commons —( hear , hear , )—and he ( Mr . Clark ) believed they had men fully competent for that purpose , amongst the foremost stood their talented member of Convention , and his friend and colleague , Philip M'Grath . ( Great cheering . ) He thought the Reform Act had been mist-rably concocted and perverted , but if the working classes exerted themselves with judgment he had no hesitation in saying , that they might add 200 , 000 to the

      electoral list . Mr . Duucombe , who represented , generally , the sentiments ot the working classes , had resolved to test ths liberality of the Whigs , on the rate-paying clauses . ( Loud cheers . ) Last year he ( Mr . Clark ) was a member of a Registration Committee , in Birmingham , and that committee had sent in 3 , 000 claims , many of whom had been rejected , under the operation of those abominable clauses —( hear , hear , )—licaco Mr . Duncome , had consented to move for their repeal , botli Reform and Municipal Acts . ( Cheers . ) The Corn Laws had been virtually repealed , yet , was he not warranteillin saying , that the working classes had , aayet . derived no benefit ? ( Vociferous cheering . ) And he was firmly of opinion that they never would obtain anv good until a real Radical reform of the House of Commons took place . Government had , in some

      recent cases , bowed to the will of the people , and he believed that henceforth , they must conform to the wishes of a well-organised public ouinion .

There , said Mr . Clark , that is a specimen of the liberality ofthe other eliissis to us , ami indicates pretty clearly what we have to expect . To insure success we must depend upon ourselves . Mr . Clark resumed his seat amid the loudest acclamation , by movina the following resolution .

      . Tuat this meeting proclaims that political freedom i ? tho natural inheritance of all men , without distinction of class , country , or colour , and , moreover , that the noncniorcement of such principles is the cius . e of the social inequality , moral depravity , and physical degradation , which at pres ' ent characteriza' the population of- ' tlie civilized world , and this meeting records its solemn determination to use every honourable means iu its power for the establishment of such sublime principles , and never to cease agitating until it shall have become the basis of the constitution , b y the Inscription of the People ' s Charter upon the statute boo lt of those realms . Mr . Luna King seconded the motion , which was carried unanimously . Mr . Christopher Doyle rose , loudly applauded , to move the second resolution , "and read the following letter from Mr . Ernest Jones : — ! ) , Church Row , llampstead , September Gth , 1846 .

      Dear Sir , —I bare for the last four or five days . been so seriously unwell that I have been obliged to have medical advice , and am still so ill that I am quite unable to accompany Mr . O'Connor into Davonshire next Monday , ( is I had agreed to do , you will therefore see that my present stnto prevents my accepting your invitation to attend your meeting at AVhitechapel next Tuesday evening , which I should have had great pleasure in attending had 1 been well enough . I am under tha necessity of getting a friend to write this note for me . 1 am , Dear Sir , yonr's truly , Ernest Jones . To the Secretary ofthe Committee .

      The speaker then contended that the present system was a representation of bricks and moi'l & r , ami consequently had nothing of an intelligent nature about it , and such men ' as'M'Grath and Ernest Jones were worth a thousand such men as were returned' by the piesent brick and nwrtcr system . They must return such men to support Duncoinbc and Wakley . ( Cheers . ) He had much pleasure in submitting the following resolution : — That in order to convince all classes of the people of

      the injustice of institutions not founded upon roliticiii Equality , it is necessary to sscuro ( hi : return of an umber of patriotic men to the House of Commons , who , by repeated speeches , motions , discussions , ite . on the subject iu Parliament , shall arouse the nation to a stnse ot the degradation irhicli is at present inflicted upon it b , j the exclusion of cevcii million of men from the right of voting in the election of those who are to make the laws l > y which w » are governed , this meeting , therefore , pledges itself to use Its utmost energies in the obtaiument of so desirable an object .

      Mr ; Stalt / wood rose , muchapplauded , to second the resolution , which he did in a brief matter-of-fact speech . Mr . Frazier in supporting it , said—It s'ntck him that it was necessary to say a few words relative to the borough in which they were standing ( Tower Hamlets ) . A party in that borough had started a requisition to Messrs . Geo . Thomson and Lawrence Ileyworth , calling ok them to become candidates for its representation , and as these men were pledged to the six points ofthe Charter it was all that we could require , and it was well worthy of consideration , whether we shouid not extend our support to them . ( Hear , hear . )

      Mr . Clark said . that at the meeting in John-street , a central committee , over which Mr . Buncombe was president , and Mr . Wakley vice-preMdcnt , was appointed ; that committee would hold its first meeting on Tiiur .-day evening next , and the suggestion just broached by Mr . Frazier should be submitted to it , and it was ' or its members to say if those candidates were worthy of support , and whether thr Tower Hamlets was one of the boroughs which should be contested .

      his host , complained oi drowsiness , and not wisiiiiu to return la his own burnt ! at so : n : va :: eril iin h ' .-ur asked permission to remain ior the rest of the nittht iu the puWit ' -Jiottsa .

The neighb . ur , seeing himself alone , lost i ; i > time : he took a cord from his pocket , a ju-ted a noose , enter > d the chamber of tiie hostess and immediately strangled lit * . This being done , he returned and t ] u : tt ! y resumed his place at table . The landlord was at thismoment descending the stairs ; bis atop was uncertain , anil Ue stumbled uudcr tbe weight with w hich he wan .

      loaded . 1 he neighbour raised him up and helpiuhun . to prepare the bod , and then asltad k ' ni to take his place thereon beside bim , observing , that tbe hostess had need of repose . This proposition was accepted , and tho two topers lay down side by side . lVhnt tooic plaee after this moment is and must remain a mystery ; hut thus much seems certain , thnt the noose which hid served once before was again made use of . The ho * t . however , awolie before the strangulation was eumpiete , and a struggle ensued , the issue of which could not he doubtful , for the desperate efforts of the victim only hastened his death . The assassin then took the ligi ' . ; , reentered the ehambfr of the expiring hostess , and jumped several times upon her breast , When he believed thai he had thus completed his full work , he went upstairs , examine i ail the drawers , and at length diseovet eii a sum of 900 francs , saved up by tbe hostess , when having effected bis purposes , ha left the bouse . On the

      Monday morning , the inhabitants of the neighbout ing houses seeing the windows of the lied Lion remain closed long ** than usual , suspicion was created : they obtained ; h aid of the police , and entered the lu > usef wbra . to their horror , tlu-y discovered ' -be body of the landlord , co ( i iiml iuanitnnted ; ths landlady , however , stil : present * . ! faint slpis of life .
