      Executive Address. Fellow Countrym En,—T...

      EXECUTIVE ADDRESS . Fellow Countrym en , —The reign of terror progresses , and grows searching and dreadful . Justicethat hallowed _word-vrhicli we have been long taught to revere as the ideal of God himself , and _?•_ ,. " shouId be the ! lar on wb'ch a nation ' s laith should rest , bas , we fear , but a small share of

      the heart-affections of the rulers of this land . Liberty , justice , an J ri ght—the trinity and uni ty of all that is good m man , and humanising in the progress of nations , exist in name blinding thecredulous , deceiving and betraying the confiding and heroic of our land ; but the practical embodiment of tbese great principles is not manifested in the frame-work of our legislation ; MOr are thelr fruits / ound in the cha . racter of our national moralitv ; as a dream thev are fancied , as a system they are ' dead and inert .

      So close has our political atmosphere become , that men are almost suffocated . So crowded are rumours , following in quick uncertainty ; so fearful the thrilling doubts and stifled fears of every man we meet , that it requires courage even to tbink steadily , and boldness and nerve to direct order from this motley cliaos . But duty and interest—these inseparable twinswhich when followed from love , and obeyed from instinct , seldom err in the guidance of mankind , come to us with their aid . Onr duty then is to raise the

      standard of principle—pure unsullied principle . Our interest—the destinies of a nation , that knows no faction , owns no sect , but points in the true spirit of universality , and . ays , ' Go _. _plant Ihe tree o f liberty , ' and if it be watered with tears , and nurtured with blood , yet it will grow green and flourish , and the sons of men will reap a thousand fold the fruits ofyour labours ; and as the sun bursts the cloud and dispels the darkness that shadows the face of the earth , so shall prosperity banish in its day the very memory of adversity . Let your hearts then fail not—have faith—have hope—have ceuraee , and be MEN .

      We had almost hoped that the State Persecutions of 1839 and of 1842 had paralysed the arm of despotism , and taught even the ignorant and antiquated men who looked on power as the appanage of rank , and persecution as the rampart of its defence , that a principle was indestructible—we at least thought that cruelty would never again be added to slavery , And , in this land of free discussion , in wbich the printing press , with a giant arm , scattered thought abroad , we had conceived that men of all schools of politics and philosophy , might safeh trust the justice of their claims , and the success of their wishes , to the fair field of intellectual warfare . We have been

      mistaken—the error is of the heart , and generous Englishmen will not despise so forgiving a confidence . The serpent has slept , but it has yet the power and the will to sting , and its bite is rapacious , venomous , and cruel . Men of active intelligence and noble enthusiasm spend their sleepless nig hts and melancholy days within the walls of prisons , whilst gaunt hunger and maddened frenzy stare us in the face as we travel in city or village , in street or highway , yet are we bold enough to say to you , be patient , and let caution and discretion control the hurricane

      and calm the storm . The earthquake tremor now felt , will shake the quiet content of fat ignorance , and make musty and moth-eaten satisfaction pause to consider the relations existing among men . Society has duties as well as rights , and jou—the unenfranchised— who are denied all participation in practical legislation , have for years prophecied that evils , huge and uncontrollable , would follow in tbe wake of a policy that preferred a deputed power from a section of the people , rather than a full enfranchisement of the male adult population . You

      have worked , but do not possess ; you bave produced , but cannot control property . You have obeyed laws , but your wisdom has not enacted tbem . You have seen enacted extensive measures of fiscal and commercial change , and your experience tells you , but too sadly , that your condition is not improved ; neither have your claims on society lessened ; you have a right to be fed , clad , and housed , in a country professing to be civilised No party cry or assumed power usurped b y the possessor , or granted by others , can alienate or destroy the right of man to a sustenance in the land of his birth .

      The House of Commons , as now constituted , either has or has not a power over this state of things . If it has a power , demand of it that that power shall be used remedially , for your benefit ; if it has no power , demand that it yield up its trust , and return once more to society that which a section of the nation unrighteously gave to it . Do you answer—we have no power over the House of Commons , it sits in London , whilst we reside in Manchester or Yorkshire , in Leicester or Scotland ? Remember , we beg of you , that the House of Commons is not self-existent- —its debating and enacting power is in an old house in Westminster—but the source of its power is among the electors -. altered over the face of the empire , and

      its administrative action exists in every city , borough , and village . Let , then , the non-electors demand of the electors , of every town and country , that they be fed , clad , and housed ; these are debts that the electors owe to the non-electors . There is not to be found a horse able or willing to work , that is not well fed , housed , and moves about sleek and fat ; and it is not to be borne that man , a being of refined sensibilities , has fewer claims than the meaner races of the earth . Do the electors assure jou that they can exercise no power for your benefit ? then let thera either resign their right to the Suffrage , as an exclusive and sectional fraction , or fulfil the responsibilities co-existing with , and inseparable from the power they possess . But how can you accomplish these objects ?

      First . —By exteuding your sphere of local action ; where necessary , add to the numbers of your committee , and locally disseminate , by every available means , a knowledge of your principles—do not teach the doctrines of Chartism as the doctrines of a sect , and only fitted for a section of men , teach them as the universal protection of all men , fitted alike for the security of all classes . The struggle of representation is not a war of those who have not against those who have , it is simply a struggle for a recognition of a great principle—to wit , the right of the majority of the nation to control the government of the country in which they live .

      Exercise every available power in the election ofthe local authorities within the _boranghs in whieh you live ; use your influence to secure the return of Chartist representatives to fill offices in the church , highway boards , and in the council chamber ; local government is the mainspring of national government , and to controul it is to regulate administration , and to directly control the functions and functionaries of law . Second . —By having a watchful vigilance over the acts of the representatives of the cities or boroughs in which you reside , acd let every vote given by them be carefully scrutinised , and when necessary tbe opinions of the whole people expressed thereon , and remitted to the deputy representing the electors in

      the Imperial Legislature . And in all cases , where there is no vote recorded—on important questionsa public meeting be called forthwith , and from that meeting a committee be appointed to write to the representatives of the electors , asking the reasons of absence , and the electors in all cases to be looked on as responsible to the non-electors for the votes and speeches of their representatives ; and in the event of a general election of members to serve in parliament , that you adopt every means , legitimately at your command , to return to parliament men of sane mind , untainted by crime , aBd pledged to vote for , and to propagate a knowledge of , the principles of the People ' s Charter in or out of parliament .

      We slso would remind you that the numbers of our agricultural population are immense , and at present form the reserve army , that are called out on all necessary occasions to fight the battle of faction . The ignorance of our agricultural population is hardly concievable by those of you who are not practically familiar with the rural districts of England . But every one who has been present at an election in & small country town will bear testimony to the influence exercised Uy the ignorant labourers , shouting and rejoicing at the success of some candidate for parliamentary favours , and who is elected to support interests diametrically opposed to the weal of the majority of tbe nation , and to vote for measures , and enact laws , binding upon all

      the intelligent aad radically _progressiv e portions of the community . The ag ricultural labourers have innumerable grievances , and suffer from a direct social despotism , as tyrannical and burthensome as the ancient usages , of feudal vassalage . It is absolutely indispensable that immediate steps he taken to remove this frig htful and hideous state of ignoranee by means of lectures , addresses , tracts , newspapers , & c , so as to force the two great wings of the army of political emancipation to move as one solid mass and to ruin , now and for ever , the unjust influence exercised by an ignorant squirearchy ! and in many cases , an irresponsible mag istracy , suppor ted by country bankers , land stewards , auctionsets , and attorneys , over a limited , and relatively

With its aid and support we are safe in all we may find useful and necessary to do for the advancement of the popular causewithout its support , our success may be protracted , and , in some cases , doubtful . Ws cannot , in this address , point out all we think necessary for the accomplishment of our object but the first great requisite on your part is action ! action ! action ! Your present plan of o _. anisation , for political purposes , must be made efficient , by being gunerally adopted , and by keeping up a constant and direct correspondence with the Executive

      or chief directing hody , giving to us on all occasions a hearty co-operation and support , and thereby enabling us to act promptl y and witb character . In our first address to you , after our election to office , we pledged ourselves to be plain and honest in stating to you , at all times and without reserve , our circumstances and prospects up to this hour we have been faithful to our promise , and will con-£ !! ___ , u ° - We antici P _<* _e _^ query tbat may do t U * y many f r U-What _" » _Pu propose t ? tlme 6 en * ' We answer the supposed

      . We are not idle observers of the signs of the times , and though our power is weakened by the incarceration of some of our beat and bravest men we do not despair of doing much for progressive reform . We have before said , and now repeat that we can , if supported by the people , build up a movement—the most powerful and practical that ever existed in this or any other country—not a movement great only in numbers and sublime in words , but also a movement as practical and utilitarian as the character ofthe age Jn which we live

      Our work is a great one , and for its accomplishment weask yoursympath y and support . We strugg le earnestly , resting our claims on the people .

      Brother Proletarians ,—Time Was When I O...

      Brother Proletarians , —Time was when I oould scarcely find words to _expreis my disgust at what I conceived to ba the ignorance or wickedness of Irish speakers and writers in representing England as tbe national oppressor of Ireland , and tho English race the enemy of the Irish people , I had no difficulty in acknowledging the English government the unchangeable scourge of ireland , but I maintained that the English people , oppressed and misrepresented by that government , were not responsible for the wrongs and sufferings of their Irish brethren . But recent eventa have considerably modified that view of the Irish question . The evidences are

      abundant that hatred , contempt , or indifference , towards the Irish people abound in English society Fjr my part , I oan no longer condemn tho furious hatred towards everything English , which haa , of late year ., inspired tbe tongues and pens of eo many able Irishmen .

      The blcod will follow where the knife i- driven , The _fl-sh will quiver where tbe pincers tear . ' And it is only natural that English persecution should exoito in Irish br . asts a thirst for vengeance ; that English calumny should excite Irish hatred—English scorn Irish defiance—and English oppreseioh Irish retaliation . Were I an Irish father . I Hhould be tempted , like _Hamiloar , to swear my children to lead a life of unceasing combat against everything English . My justification would be , the tyrannous and hostile deeds and words of Englishmen . Do I overrate English injustice ? ' Lonk around !' Behold amongst all classes and parties , with one ex ception , the damning evidence ? , ' notorious as the sun at noon-day , ' of English hatred or indifference towards _Irelsnd .

      Is there any man lunatic enough to imagine that the _Enplish government or _lejjifllature really care for the welfare , or sympathise with tbe Irish people ? If so , a moment's consideration—If he be capable of auch an effort of the mind—will at once disabuse him of his error . A string of Coercion Bills , and a sorieB of' Suspensions of the Constitution , ' varied by occasional measures of sham Reform , thrown as sops to the tradere in the sufferings of the masses , constitute the sum total of English legislation for Ireland . In proposing to the House of Lords the bill fot the Suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act , the Marquis of _Lanedowne said , 'He _wasgiad to hod tbat there were many precedents' for the course he

      proposed—that of passing the bill for ' the Suspension of the Constitution * in the ooBrse of one sitting In the disoussion in tho House of Commons , on the same measure , it was stated tbat the Arms Bill , p _& s ' ed in November last , was the sixty-fifth _Coercimx Act inflicted upon Ireland . L . stly , when the indecent haste with which the Habeas Corpus Suspension Bill was hurried through Parliament , is contrasted with the refusal ol the Ministry and House of Commons to entertain Mr Shahman Crawford ' s motion , declaratory of the necessity of remedial measures fer Ireland , it mu _. t be evident to every one , that for the Irish peopio to look for anything like justice from the Imperial Parliament , as at pre sent constituted , would be downriht insanity .

      g As is the sample , so is the Back . The government and legislature represent the _ariatocraoy of land and money , and the representstiveB , in their acts and words , rather fall short ef , than exceed , the vin . _diotiveness entertained towards _Irel & _td by those they represent . The bourgeoisie , naturally selfish , ignorant , and cowardly , and , consequently , the friends of ' order , ' nndor any circumstances—who , if Ehnbst or Nicholas ruled this land , would down on their knees to the said Ernest or Nicholas—thh class , _throughoat it . several _ otion __ , vioh and poor , are animated by one . feeling of hatred of Ireland . Address them on

      the subject , and yon will find the _shapooracy , from the dealer in ingots ts- the vendor of an ounce of snuff—' on 'Change' and in the counting-house , at the qountor and in the omnibus—breathing but one sentiment , that of vengeance towards Ireland . Their idea of ' remedial measures' ia expressed in Captain Maxwell ' s 'few tons of gunpowder and coils of rope , ' with wbich to mow down and hang up tbe unfortunate people of Ireland and their leaders . 'There are , certainly , a few individual exceptions , who give expression to more just aud humane sentiments , but these white orows are , indeed , ' few and far between . '

      And yon , my couatrymen of the working classes , are you altogether blameless ? Do you redeem the name of England by your general and hearty sympathy for your oppressed Irish brethren ? I fear no * I admit the sympathy of the Chartist party to a man . I know the earnest desire of roy brotherD . _moorats to _eee justice done to _loBg-sufferiug Ireland . I know tbat not a few _Englishmen would even lay dawn their lives for Ireland's redemption ; still I fear that masses of the English worl _. ' ng classes are blindly ignorant of the wrongs of Irishmen , and deplorably indifferent to their sufferings . 1 have no doubt that in Manchester , and some other manufacturing towns , a great majority of the English proletarians earnestly desire the freedom and happiness of their Irish brc thren ; bat can the same be Baid of the working men of other place . —London , for instance ? I fear not .

      The great proof of the hatred or _indifferenoo of the middle-ela 3 . es and a largo portion of tbe working classes of England towards Ireland , is to b 8 found in the eharaoter of the public journals supported or tolerated by those classes . The favourite journals of tho bourgeoisie , are the Times , Chro _ cle , Herald , and Daily News—one and all the bitter slanderers and relentless enemies of the Irish people . The sham-Radical Morning Adver . sbr and Son are equally anti-Irish . These papers are the oracles of pot-house and coffee-room politicians chiefly belonging to the working classes . Of the weekly papers , tbe _Sp-scrAion , Examlvkr Atlas , Jons Bull , Britannia & q ., are read principally by the ' upper' and middle classes . The readers of the Dispatch , Senday Times , Bells Life , Douglas _Jskkold , & 0 ., &* .. belong to the middle and working classes .

      The atrocious conduot of the Press-gang at t ' ais crk ' _y , demand * from me a few words of comment . From the _lisi of traffickers in class ptejudice snd popular _ignorance , I shall select two or three , and commence with the Times . The _Pmidledoek Thunderer asserts , that ' the English are generally awaro' that ' every hard-wprking man in this country carrif s a wholo Irish family on his _shwldtr .. ' Tbis ii advanced by the Times as a reason wby the _Englieh _working men should feel no sympathy for the Irish millions . Without now _disouising the assertion of tbe T _ bj , but taking the truth thereof for granted , I shall venture to tell the

      Thunderer , that every sensible hard working Englishman ia aware of two other things : —1 st—That Irish pauperism ia caused by English _missovernment and _cla . _s usurpation ; and 2 nd—That English poverty is mainly the consoquenco of labour having to c . rry on its should _jrs tha brawny caroase of idle , luxurious , plundering Privilege . Here are three hideous lies of the Times : —1 st . —¦ 'That the eight M . P . 'a who voted against the _Suspension of the Habeas Corpus represent nothing but turbulence and discontent . ' A pretty compliment to pay to the constituencies of Rochdale and Nottingham ! V hat doe . Master Walter' represent ? 2 nd .- ' Tho Irish Rebel ., ' says tho Times , ' insinuate that the prospect of pillage for two hours or two days is amongst their chief incentives to action . * In support of this assertion , tbe Times impute , to the Irish l _ _ders the idea ot' acomnreh . _n-

      _sive agrarian law . ' Such a law supposes not pillage , but the restoration ( to the peopl . of stolen preperty ( on the part of _tUe landlords ) . The third lie is particularly rich : — ' The subjects of this realm . ' says the Times , ffel tbat tbey are thoroughly their own masters , and are under no occasion ta tremble at a nod , to humour a caprice , or fear a revfn . e , _Theirhousea are _ eir castles , theif minda , to them , are kingdoms , and tbeir _language as free os the air which conveys it . ' Bravo J This _baiujs Bannagher 1 Scarcely a day passes that houses are not broken into ( in _England and Scotland , to say nothing of Ireland ) , and the lord of the ' castle' dragged to prison for the crime of speaking ' his mind' in ' language' not quite so ' free' as ' the air ; ' and it is notorious that no honest man can now walk tbe streets of our towns , without being dodged by a ' detective , ' or having his words noted down by a spy , ' Happy _Buhjeets ! ' Merry England 1

      ' A suppressed rebellion , ' Bays the Times of this day , justifies and compels a somewhat stronger and sterner poiioy than that which befitted the mere brooding of the storm , ' On this _baBis the Times argues lor trying tbe prisoners by martial law , and continuing Ireland in a state of seise . Theso sanguinary promptings attest the truculent sentiments oi ' the commercial classes . The Morkino f _ B __ _-D takes credit to it . elf for having six months ago , laboured to induce the government to rule Ireland by martial law , which , according to tbe Herald , is the very beat law in the world to govern the mob . Tbe Herald argues , that had its advice been taken , when it recommended the shooting of ' half-a-dozen agrarian plunderers and murderers by drum head court martial , in the

      month of November last , ' there would bave been no rebellion at this time : now , however , that rebellion bas come , the Herald demands , the ' b . onet charge , ' and the' raking , well directed fire of _muskttry or artillery , ' to dispel the errors of the disaffected . The Herald likens the Irish peasantry to _ ad dogs , or mad bulls , whom it ia necessary to strike down , or shoot at once . ' Oh ! ' cries the Herald , 'for one hour of our straightforward and illustrious Duke to set this empire to rightB . ' ' Franco , ' argues the _Hbbald , ' is ruled by a soldier —Cavaignao . Spain is ruled by a _eoldier—Narvarz : aid shall not Great Britain and Ireland owe tbeir _s-ifety to the greatest of great soldiers—Wellington ? ' Up , then , ' 6-ys the Herald , 'for our _ ue . for a united empire , and a strong government , to pn ., down traitors a _ d rebels at home and abroad ! ' I

      I hope , my friends , that _yoc will feel grateful to the Herald for the ' strong government' provided for you by that generous journal , when I tell you that its list includes in addition to tbe Duke , snch wise , honest , and liberal statesmen , as Lord Stanley , _Lird Lyndhurat _, Lord Elienborough _, Lord George Bentinck , the Duke of Richmond , Sir Robert Inglis , Lord Chief J _ tice Blackburn ( Ireland ) , Major Bere-ford , Messrs Miles , _Newdecate , Spooner , and la _ , not least , your old favourite , the consistent and tender-hearted Lord Brougham !

      It is enough to say tbat the Dailv News , Globe , Advertiser , and Sun , fulminate _against the Irish in the spirit of the Timbs . The Sun and _Advbr-Tusnhave long made political capital outof Irish grivance 8 , yet they are now amongat the foremost in _ca'ling for a war of extermination against the Irish people , and the utter abrogation ofthe last remains of Irish freedom The total _txtinetton bf the right of public association , and the complete disarmament of the masses , are amongst th ? remedies for Irish disaffection demanded by these journals .

      The Standard , after imparting the original intelligence that ' Chartism was strangled at once and for ever , by the noble demonstration of the 10 th of April . * _inaista that—' all money collecting leagues and political cluba ought tn be prohibited in all parts of the United Kingdom . ' The Standard then argues that thia is the time for a thorough revisal of the whole system of Irish policy , by the restoration of Protestant _AfCEHDAicr-thatis , the restoration of the system under which to be a Roman Catholic was to be the plundered , persecuted , hunted victim of Orange bloodhounds , with no voice in the legislature , and co rights , social or political . The revival of tbe bloody times ot the Penal Laws , will alone satisfy the p _' ons longing 11 of the par .-on-petted Standapd !

      The forcible _suppressioa of the Nation and Irish _FsLnn , and the wanton _destruction of the property of both journals , to jether with the contemptifcla but oruel persecut _' on of the pressmen and printerBof these papers , asd the poor creatures who sold them in the streets , has not called forth one word of remonstrance or _condemnation on the part of any oae of the daily journals . Imagine ths outburst of virtuous indi _c ation with whieh the Time 9 , Chronicle , Sum , & c would have greeted auch an act , if performed by order of Nicholas , instead of Lord Clarendon , and in Warsaw instead of tbe

      capital of' the Poland of the West . ' No one could be surprised at these journals hounding on the government to pursue Smith O'Brien and his followers with fire and sword , but they might have abstained from the lies and _calumnkti , with which they have laboured to destroy their victim ' soharacter , and heap odium and contempt upon his _nama . Brave men are generous , even when combating personally a _. ainst their enemies ; but these hireling wretches of the press gang , wfco lie because they are paid for lying , are utterly destitute of every sentiment of manly generosity , and regard for truth and fair play

      . ..... r" _-J " Ttie lerocious denunciations of Ireland and Irishmen , every week gracing the commas of the Dispatch and Sunday Times , are too well known to require further notice . Bell ' s LlPB , the W _ KLY _Chrosiclr , John Bull , the Atlas , and Spectator , are celebrated for similar anti-Irish sentiments . The atrocious writings of the p lacemen of the Whig Examiner have several times been brought under the notice of the readers of this journal . The last number ot the Britannia was most ferociously

      anti-Irish .

      This day Mr Patrick O'Higgins . of North Annestreet , _linen-aierchant , long known as one of the _leaoers of the Dublin Chartists , was arrested on a charga of ' felony , ' and sent to _Kiimainham gaol A search was made in his house , when 1 , 300 gun and blunderbuss stocks , in tbe rough state , were discovered . He argued that these stocks did net come under the terms ofthe act , inasmuch as they could not , in their rough state , be considered as portions of firearms . He also alleged tbat he purchased them upwards of tuo years ago _sb a ' mercantile speculation . ' ( From the Evening Post . )

      This day , Mr Patrick O'Higgins , a Confederate and agent of the English Chartists , was arrested . On the premises oecupied by him w . _re found a large quantity of arms , and other munitions of war ; amongst which were 300 gun _ tock ? , a double-barrelled gun ( loaded with ball ) , a 8 in ; le-barrelled gun , a sword , and a pike—the latter waa a moat formidable weapon , tbe shaft being nine feet six inches long , mounted with a steel blade , exceeding two feet in length , furnished with an axe and hook .

      Dublin , J ult 27 . —LordClarendon _nss lost no time in _availing himself of the stringent means now at hia disposal for tbe repression of treason and insurrec tion . Before break of dawn this morning Vie whole force of metropolitan police was in motion , and a general search was c . mn _ enced in ail suspected quarters for arms and ammunition . The club-rooms were the first object ! of this surveillance , but as far as I oan learn the police were not very successful in their efforts to detect cither arms or documents of a dangerous tendency .

      Mr Patrick _O'HigRina , the leader ofthe Dublin ChartistB , was arrested this morning under the new act , while proceeding to his office in North Annestreet . His house was _subsequently searched by the police , and a vast quantity ot __ gun-stocks were found upon fhe premises , together with a sph ndidly finished pike . They wero lodged in the Castle . In jn __ to Mr O'Higgins , it should be stated that the _gun-Bticks were purchased in England , nearly three years ago , on a purely mercantile speculation , and with * view of supplying the constabulary ; sinco that time they have lam on his hands a dead weight . The possession of the pike , however , is not so satisfactorily accounted for . Mr O'Higgins was lodged in Kiimainham Gaol on a cbarge of treason .

      A person named Flaaagan , a noted _pike-m-J _ r , has also been arrested . In his house were fo _ od swords and cutlasses . In the houses of other suspected parties were found various weapons ef warfare , as well as bullet moulds , wadding , and ammunition , and also documents showing the connexion ofthe parties viith the clubB . Several blacksmiths have been arrested for making pike ? , and other parties for having them in their dwellings , together with ammunition . One of tbe Cork papers states that it is understood tbat G 000 pike heads had been introduced into that oity from Sheffield . ( From the Morning Chronicle )
