      terests I represent . Po not allow me to engage in the contest rithout the arms which you can furnish me ; Bid then , if I should fail for want of those Brms , fc ^ repared to take , not your share , but the whole , ofthe responsibility . I ata aware thatmanyhavecautiously joined the Comp ^ fj hjQHjing-through other channel ^ fest their tyrant masters should dismiss than—but those who sign the petition must rest satisfied with my assurance that those masters will aever see it .

      Every secretary should make it his duty to i « et the signature of every member in his dia i ^ ict , and he should also get another petition , i agaed by those who are not members , but who i . are & vourab ] etotheFlan . They need not 1 iftach more than their signatures to the petii tton : ? and I have very little pity for the conation of the slate who refuses the trifling se assistance which I ask him to render in his

      owl cause . I should state to yoa that 1 have had many conversations with leading- members of Parliament upon the subject of the Land , and they new it with great interest , and will be prepared to give to it , not onl y an impartial , but a favourable consideration . Now , you have ample time to do this , and if you have not the inclination , you don ' t require

      it to be done . Let me now remind you , that cothing ever has been obtained from the English Government , nor from any other Government , by silence ; and to the silence of the Irish representatives—when silence was a Godsend to the Whigs—you must attribute the present state of that country ; therefore , taking warning by the past—don ' t you be stent .

      I have shown you before , but I will repeat it here again , that social improvement is ever Mowed by political representation . For instance , when Land was all and everything , the landlords bad the whole of the re presentation ; then manufacturers became powerful , the Reinn Bill gave them a participation in representation ; and when the shopkeepers—the ( ommercial and mercantile classes— -joined the tanufacturers , the adoption of Free Trade | rinciplesgave them the ascendancy of represntation ; and now that railroads have opened Q another source of speculation , that new

      [ eder of wealth has achieved a . powerful repre-! i Relation in the House of Commons—having 1 crer one taudred interested members to repre-\ s * t that branch of trade . The maxim that I iiwulddraw from these undeniable facts is r | Ibis—that a wholesome social system is snre ¦ \ ta lead to a wholesome representative system . i < yov , I pray you to keep these domestic « i truths always before you , and allow me to illusl ) Irate what I mean , so that the merest fool may junderstand it ; and he , who understands it and jfes not act upon it , is a slave , and does not ] feerve the name of man . This is my illustra-* £ on . If there are a hundred thousand men

      Isnp loying five millions of slaves , the hundred ftousand slave owners will have the exclusive prerogative of making such laws as will perpetuate their rule , which will be governed by fee lowest amount of wages that they can give ah safety to their property . But , if a milli'in , or half-a-million , or a quarter of a million l ^ sthe five millions of slaves becom e possessed ' ^ tf property in their own labour , independent of jfgtte caprice of an employer , then , those so si-| * bated will very speedily achieve for them-J elves a participation in representation . jt True , resistance is always offered by those J i Possessing power to those looking for power , i M , I tell you , the resistance , the crushing

      reliance , is in the fear of the many , and not in ( fee power of the few . j ! The cripples who have been writing about fie Land Plan , and who know as much about ( i as ttn Irish pig knows of geometry , have \ I bun their web—have laid their eggs—have ex-I ! feasted their poor store of presumptuous igno-[•• sace , and , while [ they fret and fume , the la-[ \ bur castles progress ' with surpassing speed . I Indeed , I know of no plan , —I can devise no i fen , —I can think of no plan—equal to the [ laid Plan for giving the purest liberty to the I Sveral classes of society ; and to the hope of ! * faJemption held out bv it , and not to the ter-I . » r of the law . I attribute the calm quiet we

      ? Ure witnessed amid the most heart-rending Stress ; for , had it not been for the anticipa-M of the labour field and the castle those Mvatians would not have been so patiently Wne . He subject so crowds upon me in its multi-I krious forms , when absence from other business 1 * 63 me time for contemp lation , that , even Kin this dull winter season , I see charms ^ captiva te the most heartless , and to inspire ? £ e most desponding with hope . The petition jj ttat I ask you for you have now six weeks to Ffyare , as it is my intention to present it the f st dav that Parliament meets , and the sheets

      1 « 7 be all sent to the Land Office , directed ! r me , left open at both ends , and "Parhament-; 7 petition , " written under the address . The 1 - tition will lay at the Land O & ce in London , soon as the directors can have it properly tossed , where the London members can 'in it . 4 : To aid your petition , it is my intentmnto We the whole of the February number of ^ 5 « Labourer" to a plain and simple treatise shall be

Because ,. upon the principle of political economyvwhen one channel is closed the Land

      flpens asuccesaon of sources from which the husbandman can draw his maintenance , while the artificial slave is paralysed by the increasing price of an article which ha cannot produce . Because , on theland a man and his whole famil y can work . ' from morning' till night in proper seasons , the father and grown sons at the hardest work , and the tender solicitude of the mother putting the younger branches to the easiest employment , and from which , by degrees , they . gain . strength in the open air ; while the infant , . put to slave-labour in the artificial market ,- becomes stunted , sickened , and paralysed , by a sudden application to systematic labour in an unwholesome atmosphere .

      Because the parents of the growing family have them ever under their . eye and control ; and attention * **) morals , health , and education , stamps the character of the parents in the society in which they moy &> and must court the approval of it if they Vould be happy . Because thework of children may be measured according to their . Respective strength . Because old and youngi / sickly and robust , need not go to bed at the same " hoiir , i rise' at the same hour , and eat and drink at : the sanje hour . ' " - " " - ''

      Because no man can say to the husbandman , " Thou shalt not work to day . " ' Because the husbandman is always in view of his own castle . Because when sick he can , be watched , tended , and comforted by a wife then dear to him ; and while he is on the bed of sickness nature will nourish his crops , while the loom would stand still , and Because mutual interest would compel all the healthy occupants to lend a hand ^ to the sick , not knowing when they may need ^ a return;—then this would be the best Benefit Society .

      Because no Act of Parliament can establish an equitable standard between the price of foreign corn sent to supply a domestic deficiencyVand wages paid in an unvarying standard of currency . Because the fausbandmanhas everytbingfresb of his own produce and at prime cost , and because he need not dig a potatoe , draw one carrot , or one onion , or cut one head of cabbage more than he requires for immediate use ' while , in the market , the artificial slave is obliged to buy the refuse , and in quantities allotted by the salesman .

      Because he works task-work every day in the year , and , while young , has the opportunity of laying up a sufficiency to support him and bis wife in old age ; whereas , at artificial labour , differentJwards in a bastile is their lot . Because at agriculture man can earn more than at any other description of labour . Because ' the husbandman , at seventy , is younger , more hale , more hearty , and joyous , than the artificial slave is at thirty-five . Because his social state compels him to take a more lively and bolder interest in the framing of those laws by which his property is to be protected , and by neglect of which his rights mavbe assailed .

      BECAUSE IT MAKES MAN A FREEMAN AND LOVE LIBERTY . Now , there is your catechism—here follows your petition : — To the Right Honourable and Honourable , the Commons of the United Kingdom in Parliament assembled . " The Humble Petition of the undersigned M bers of the National Land Company , Shew th , " That your petitioners , believing in the truth of the assertion , that the science o ^ agriculture is only in its infancy ; and finding that unnatural speculation in labour , applied to mechanical power , has closed the several

      channels of free labour to which the working classes should have Ml and unfettered access , and believing that that system of centralisation which has led to an over-wealthy and disastrously poor class , trenches unjustly upon the properties ' of those who derive no interest or profit from speculations in cheap labour ; and believing- that the industrious of all nations . chould have the fullest and most unchecked power of selling their labour—which is the source of wealth—in the dearest market ; and impressed with the belief that popu .

      Iation presses hardly upon the means or subsistence allowed to the poor—not because there is not ample means furnished by the Creator whereby man , by his / ree labour , could live in the sweat of his own brow ; but , on the contrary , your petitioners feel convinced that that wise and beneficent Giver of life , and Creator of the means of sustaining that life by honest industry , has given ample for the sustenance of every human being-. "In proof of this assertion your petitioners would call the attention of your honourable house to the following facts : —

      "Firstly , —That there are not one hundred acres of land lying . together in this vast empire cultivated to one-fourth part of their capability of yielding , if a SKfficient amount of labour was applied to the land . " Secondly , —That the land is a raw material which mav be manufactured , like other raw materials / to the very hig hest state of perfection .

      " Thirdly— That the land of this country , in its present state , as compared to the condition to which , by labour , it might be brought , is as undressed flax as compared with the finest cambric or lace—as undressed wool as compared with cloth of the fines * texture —as the raw hide compared to the most finished boot or shoe , or 9 . s the- rough stone compared tothe most perfect p iece of statuary . " That yoar petitioner ? , have been trained in &« hfiUel that labour , is the source of all

      " That your petitioners , for the several reasons above enumerated , and confiding in the laws of nature rather than in the laws , of man , have entered into a company . for tK | , "' purpose of purehasingland ^ whereb y each may be enabled to earn a livelihood ^ for himself . and family , without being a ; burthen : ' upon the poor rates or the bounty of the charitable . " That your petitioners are firmly convinced that iTfarmers ; canipay rents , the interest of capital , educate -their families , and become wealth y by profit' accumulated from the husbandman ' s labour , that * the husbandman , if placed in a situation to work for himself , would justly and honestly earn his proportion of those profits which now go to enrich others .

      7 That your petitioners repudiate the assertion , that they intended or ever harboured the notion of requiring the proposed means of earning a livelihood from the cultivation of the soil , otherwise than . by the purchase of the land in the free competitive market ; " That your petitioners assure your honourable house that the great increase of population will compel such a distribution of the land as will secure employment to the unwilling idle , and by its cultivation a sufficient amount of home-grown produce to . make the British people independent of foreign markets , and foreign and domestic speculators in human

      food . "That your petitioners , to effect this desirable object , would remind your honourable house , that , so far from the subdivision of the land being any interference with the rights , ther property , and privileges of landlords , that , on the contrary , the increasing demand and desire for the possession of a free labour field would have the effect of increasing the value of land by the differencebet ween the wholesale and retail price * " That your petitioners complain , and justly , that they have now no means of establishing the value of their labour otherwise than by the necessities of their families , the caprice of their employers or the horrors of the workhouse .

      • 'That your petitioners submit to your * ho ? nourable house that , upon the principles " of Free Trade , contracting parties should be free to act , and that the parent , La & our , should not be unnaturally fettered by its offspring , Capital ; and that in order to the free realisation of this principle , the free labour field is a freer mart fur the engagement of labour than the market cross , the unfurnished hovel , the workhouse , or the House ol Call for the Destitute .

      "That your petitioners beg to assure your honourable house that the establishment of the Land Company , and the hope thereby created of enabling man to live in the sweat of his own brow , has gone farther to improve the irorals and cultivate the minds of the working classes than all the enactments in . your several statute books , " That your petitioners assert that a free labour class , located upon the soil , would create a larger demaud for English manufactured goods , and for imported luxuries , than any one of your colonies or foreign customers . <¦

      " That your petitioners contend that the increased value given to manufactured goods by an increased power of consumption , would enable the manufacturers of this country to derive . large profits from increasing wages than they now do from the poor pittance measured by their caprice . "That your petitioners would call the attention of your honourable house to the / act ,

      that , in proportion as machinery is increased and improved , in the same ratio will operatives be put out of employment ; while the decision of your honourable house to suspend railway operations , under certain provisions , for a period of two years , will have the effect of glutting the labour market to an extent which will enable employers to effect a further reduction in wages , consequent upon the increased competitive / eserve .

      "That your petitioners look with surpassing interest to the time when they can live upon their own free labour , educate and instruct their families , render that assistance to the state for the suppression of riot , disorder , or invasion , which threatened an injury to the social'system , in the preservation of which all would then have an interest . <« That your petitioners , when placed in this

      honourable position , would cheerfully bear their share of that burthen which was found necessary for the maintenance of institutions ivhich ^ were equally protective of the interests of all , while they would bear privation and calamities , in which all participated , without a murmur , but they cannot reconcile themselves to the blasphemy , that an all-wise and just Creator would select the industrious classes as objects of his displeasure .

      " That your petitioners remind your honourable house , that the great error of nil Governments has been a disinclination to do from justice that which , after fruitless and sanguinary struggles , has been extorted from their fears . "That your petitioners , relying upon the case they have made out , and depending upon the foresight , the wisdom , and justice of vour honourable house , " Pray that your honourable house will pass such a law as will enable the National Land Company to proceed with their

      operations of buying land , building houses , and appropriating it to the uses , of those who are to be located thereon ,, fiee from the payment of Stamp duties / , the duty paid on . bricks , timber , and other building materials , and place the Company in such .. . . - defined and legal positia ^ as ^ Ulguarantee ^* to each of its members ti ft- several provisions contained in a certain , deed which has been executed in conformity with the law , and that the carrying out « £ such provisions ma ' y be assigned to such , trustees ar your KflQUiahte basse sJ > aJl , ; iiLjoux

And having Isilenced the ignorance of the brawlers , and the guesses of the prophets , the February number of the " La & ourer" shall be devoted to the demolition of their several propositions , and in which I undertake to prove , beyond the power o ^ refutation . not only that the National Land and Labour Bank is the most secure bank in the kingdom , but that it is the only secure bank ; and 1 am sure you must laugh heartily at the arithmeticians , who would endeavour to persuade you thattheapplicatibiioflabourto land deteriorates its value .

      Now , what would a cotton lord say to a philosopher , who told him that raw cotton was more valuable than calico ? or what would the clothier say , iftbld that raw wool was more valuable than superfine cloth ? or a coal king , that an unworked mine was more valuable than a steam engine ? and yet this tribe of tricksters introduce themselves to public notice upon speculation in your credulity . It was

      only three weeks ago that Mr John Cleave introduced Mr Joshua Hobson to the editor of the Dispatch , as a valuable correspondent ; and within that period , this simple editor has permitted this puzzle-pated ass to publish the absurdity , that labour deteriorates the value of land , and that land , because it cannot be Cut up in strips as a security to each depositor in the Land and Labour ; , Bank , must fail to be security to any depositor .

      Now , what would you think of la man having a hundred thousand a year in landed property opening a bank , and offering that guarantee to the several depositors ? and what woulctyou think of each depositor , upon lodging his money ; asking for his strip of the title deeds-rhis share of the dtfnkey ' s skin—as security for the amount ? and what would you thick of- his restoring that strip of parchment upon withdrawing his deposit / or a bit of it upon withdrawing a portion of his deposit ? Don t you think the "Poor Gentleman" would have a very patchwork title , ' , when bits of the parchment were promiscuously returned , and stitched together ? Yea , verily , he would be a

      king of shreds and patches—a right noble kingsuch a king as the Dispatch would make him . The fact is , that these disreputable vagabonds cannot get their claws upon the monies > and hence their vengeance . A Leeds printer , and a Huddersfield printer , must excuse the publication of Mr Hobson ' s character , as given by them . He is now consigned to that state in society foi which nature intended him ; even poor Somerville not considering him good company ; Bailey denying his acquaintance ; and all good men shunning him ; therefore , I cannot admit the mention of his name in the Star any

      more . 1 have preferred writing to you upon this subject , this week , to analysing the Irish Coercion Bill , and for this leason—because it gives you a week longer to sign the petition . Next week you shall have my address to the Irish nation , in which I hope to prove to yoa the identity of interest that must exist between the working classes of both nations , and that the ruin of one must be inevitably followed by the ruin of the other , as three millions of Irish slaves must rivet Britain ' s chains . Your faithful friend and representative , FeaIIUUS O'CONNOtt .

      Representation Of Chelsea. The People's ...

      REPRESENTATION OF CHELSEA . THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER . A very numerous and respectable meeting was held in the Temperance Hall , New road , Chelsea , on Wednesday evening , the second public meeting convened by the working classes , for the purpose of constituting Chelsea , Kensington , Hammersmith , and Fulham , a Parliamentary borough . Mr Fossby was unanimously called to the chair , and briefly stated the objects of the meeting . Letters , apologising for non-attendance , were read from Georeo Thompson , Lord Robert Groavenor , and R . B . Osborne . M . P . V

      Mr Dowlino , in an able speech , in which he shoved the numbers , intelligence , and wealth of the district —and cintrasted its influence and importance with the insignificance of such places as Harwich , Buckingham , & c , moved the adoption of a petition , prayiu ;> that the above districts be constituted a borough , in lieu of Sudbury , disfranchised . Mr Swilwood seconded the adoptios of the petition , which was carried unanimously , amidst loud sheers . The petition was ordered to be aiptied bv the chairman , and _ transmitted to Lord R .

      Mr Ernest Josbs rose , loudly and heartily - comed , to move the following resolution t— ' That this meeting , believing that returning inefficient representatives to Parliament , is but adding new soldiers to the ranks of the oppressor , whilst earnestly supporting the prayer of the foregoing petition , pledges itself , atthe same time , to further , by all legal means in its power , those political reforms , which can alone secure an efficient representation of the people , as embodied in the People ' s Charter . ' Mr Jones related the great and incessant struggles making throughout Europe , for organic reforms , and demonstrated the Charter to be the only instrument that could work out the political and social emancipation of the millions , and concluded nn eloquent speech , of considerable length , amidst great applause . Julias Harset , who was receired with loud cheers ,,

      in seconding the resolution , said : He trusted that the wealth-producers of Chelsea would not be treated now as they were in 1832 , by the middle classes . Mr Harney then showed the evil effects of class-logisla-Hon , as exhibited in the conduct of the legislature , and ably illustrated his argument by the miserable condition of the people of Ireland , and the , r « ant of employment amongst the operatives of En ^ and and Scotland . The speaker next entered J ' ntoalucid and very forcible exposition of the principles of the ' People ' s Charter , ' and resumed his wat , amidst the most hearty cheering . The resolution was carried by acclamation . A vote of thank * was given to Mr Ernest Jones for his attendance , and a similar compliment having been passed to the chairman , the meeting was dissolved , „^ I ,

      Although ; in-the speech ; -from -the throne , ; Her Majesty expressed / . tBe ; deepest anxiety ' ' a nd'interest in . the present . condition of- Ireland , ' none of the measures intended ' . to' advance the social condition ' of the Irish people , have been , brought forward . A Coercion Bilf to humiliate and crush the people of the sister country , is the only measure Her Majesty ' s advisers have yet introduced . Indeed , so far fiom showing any particular anxiety to remedy Irish evils , Ministers have contemptuously turned a deaf ear to the appeal . for inquiry into the causes of those evils . : It is now evident that Parliament was "asserobled principally—indeed almost wholly-for the purpose of enabling the Whigs to obtain tor their Lard . Lieutenant the power to rule Ireland by the sword . '

      Poor Robert Burns s ditty is as applicable now as it was sixty years since : '—• ? AwaWMgsawal AtraWhigsawa ! . Ye ' re but a pack o' traitor Ioum , Ye'll do nae gufle at a' »' I must add a few remarks on two or three matters which occupied the attention of' the honourable , the Commons , ' previous to their « break-up for the holidays . ' On the I 4 th of December Mr Stafford called the attention of the house to the condition of the rail .

      way labourers . He showed that the only career thought ever yet bestowed upon that class of working men by the legislature , was the passing of a law providing for the employment of special constables to keep the ' navvies' quiet . Quite characteristic this of our precious legislature , which while ever ready to coerce , is seldom inclined to instruct or protect the masses , Mr Stafford showed that the railway labourers had been allowed to fall into a state of utter demoralisation ; that they were plundered of their hard-earned wages by the infamous truck-system , ' being charged for very inferior food twenty , thirty , and even fifty per cent , higher than the fair market prices ; that they were lodged

      worsethan dogs or pigs ; that they were decimated by fever ; and that the average age , even of the stoutest and most muscular men amongst them , did not exceed forty years . la reply ' , Sir G . GrEV , coldly declared that government could do nothing for these men , thousands of whom ate uow utterly destitute , in consequence of the stoppage of the works on the railways in course of formation . Lord G . Bentinck volunteered a defence of the railway-kings , and added that the labourers received 22 s . 6 d . ' Now , ' said' his lordship , ' 'if a man received 22 s . 6 d . a week wages , it could hardly be said that no care was

      taken of him , and that he was treated like a beast of burden . ' I must admire the effrontery of this Protectionist Lord , who affects to consider 22 s . 6 d . weekly , a large and liberal sum for a working man to receive ; subject , be it remembered to ' truck ' - robbery , arid many of the men having too to support families , living scores ov hundreds of miles from the scene of their employment I doubt very much if 22 s . 6 d . will cover the cost of a single dii ner consumed by ' his lordship , ' That the people of England submit to be ruled by these insolent aristocrats , is really disgraceful to the national character .

      A few days before the adjournment a very pretty affair was brought before the House by the excellent member for Finsbury , Mr Waklet , in the shape of a petition from a number of the electorsof West Gloucestershire , charging Earl Fitzhardinge with having interfered in the election of Members of Parliament for that district . The charges brought against the Earl were bribery , corruption , and intimidation , which it was alleged hail been practised by his high mightiness' with the view of securing the return of his nominee . Now , although the house has on its book a ' sessional order' declaring

      any interference by peers in the election of members of Parliament , to be a breach of privilege , and an infringement of the liberty of elections , nevertheless , there was no great alacrity shown by the honourable members to protect their own rights . Your misrepreseutative's colleague , the Attorney-General ' fenced' the question in a manner quite creditable to his character as a Whig I The matter is not yet finally disposed of , but if the Electors of West-Gloucestei shire expect any exhibition of' Roman virtue ' on the part of the senators they have appealed to for justice , I have no doubt that they will findtheraselvesdisappointed .

      The last notable act osthe Government previous to the adjournment of the House was the- introduction of a bill for the removal of Jewish . Disability ties . Considering this- question in its- relation to the important principle of religious liberty ,, 1 haw no objection to JewUlvlaiancipatiou—qntie the bsverse—for I hold that every man ha * a . perfect right to possess and exensise all the privileges- of citizenship , no mattsr what may be his-religious belief . But viewedt politically aadi socially , 1 have strong doubts of the jnstice ol Jewish alaims . to political equality . The possession , ef sights supposes the performance of duties ,, and . where duties are not uerformed there can . be no

      corresponding rights . Now 1 . should be glad to know how many Jews till the soil ?• Bow many are working builders , weavers ,, tailors , shoemakers , hatters , & c . ? When was ev ^ r . a Jew seen ca rrying bricks tip a ladder ? I graat that they ane excellent hands at the mischievous sraft of baying aad selling . I am aware of their matchless superiority in trafficking in th & labour of other people .. I know that as bargain-makers , schemers , and profit-mongers , they are unrivalled . But from Rothschild trafficking in the wealth of plundered nations , down to the juvenile candor of sbamblacklead . pencils , the whole race is essentially & race of schemers and harpies preying upon the industry of their fellow men . X would not oppose ' Jewish Emancipation , ' firstly ,, because I would not take part with the stupid bigots

      who constitute the only parly in opposition to the measure ; and secondly , because the wealthy Jews already hold in their bands the real power pi the state . Since the rise and growth of the ' National Debt , ' England has been year by year brought under the dominion of Jew millionnaires , until at last they have become arbiters of the national destinies . The removal of their political disabilities does not add to their real power , it is merely a public and legal recognition of their power . Still I protest egamst Jews being emancipated , to the exclusion of the hard-working people of this country , and at a moment , too , when Parliament has authorised the further enslavement of the people of Ireland , taking from them that right which was in former times considered as distinguishing the freeman from the slave — the right of bearing arras .

      The speeches delivered by Lord J . Russeu ., Lord Morpbth , and others have been greatly praised for the *}« st' and , ^ liberal' sentiments expressed by ^ tbe
