      The Cavillers Refuted. We Always Knew Th...

      THE CAVILLERS REFUTED . We always knew that -rothing so materially tended to elevate a just cause as opposition , nothing in the end so conclusively established the truth , as the attempt of falsehood to subvert it . Never was this fact more completely illustrated than by the recent attacks made on the National Land Company b y divers hirelings of the press , who have endeavoured with the inky poison of their pens to blight the fair promise of harvest we are holding out to thc working-man , as a consequence of labouring for himself instead of others . Foremost in the dirty-fingered

      phalanx stands Chambers Journal , which has drawn down on the heads of its concoctors one of the most severe , at the same time that it is one of the most merited , _caseations that Falsehood ever yet received at the hands of Truth . We can respect those who conscientiously hold a _different opinion , we can pity those ' who err from ignorance ; but we despise those who , knowingly and wilfully , pervert the truth , and give the lie to their own words , when self-interest or faction demand it at their hands . This is what the writer in Chambers' Journal has done . With a

      malevolence but too apparent for the success ofhis cause , he has proved that he can blow hot and cold at almost the same time ; and after having once advocated the small proprietary system , he now unblushingly denounces it ; while , with an ignorance as evident as the object of his hostility , he has ruined himself by his own arguments , and dug the grave of his philosophy in the folly of his reasoning . May all our opponents be like these ! since their open enmity is the greatest favour they can shew us , and their dishonest friendship would be the only

      thing wc had to fear . What has wrought this sudden , wonderful change in the " Chambers' politics /' we care not lo inquire ; no donbt tbe same cause that makes members of Parliament in one session vole AGAINST the very measure FOR which they voted in a previous one—but wc can tell these wouldbe philosophers , these literary cut-throats , ihey must not think so meanly of working-men as to suppose they are to be led by the nose by a few words from an editorial stool Wc tell them men are beginning to think and judge for themselves , ave . ' and act

      too ;—they no longer conceive all wisdom to be wrapped in a broadsheet , and truth tn live in thc black well of a scribe ' s inkstand * , men are beginning to read the great broadsheet of Nature , and while they find its words written in the glorious type ol grain and fruit and flower , open to all , unstamped by hereditary title-deeds of aristocracy , and untrammelled by legislative monopolies , running counter to the dictates of a " Chambers' philosophy , " they wil ' _prefer a _uospel inscribed by the hand of God on the hills and plains , to that concocted in a six-pair

      back" for the jingle of a hireling ' s * ' siller . " They will , indeed , prefer their own cottage home to the infernal factory , their freehold domain to thc hopeless and wearying tramp , ft needs no glozing rhetoric to induce this feeling , and opposition might deserve contempt , were it not that thc Chambers ' had set themselves up as leaders of the people , and that they rise to the height of deserving castigation from being acknowledged as the mouth pieces of a party . Wc are glad they have thrown off the mask . This , then , is their recommendation to working-men ,

      " Toil for others , instead of for yourselves ; desert thc villages , and crowd thc factory-towns ; have no homes , but wander ever from spot to spot ; slave , starve , and die at last in the Bastilc ! " This is the Teal meaning , and this is the inevitable goal of that infernal competition which overcrowds one sphere of action , and throws an entire population at the feet of a restless monopoly . We are of those who wish trade to flourish to the full limit ' s of its proper extent , but not to sec it made a mere agent for coining the heart of labour into gold for _idleucss to fatten on .

      We are of those who wish labour to have a stronghold , whereon it can fall back , when overpressed by its taskmaster . We know that from the door of his own cottage the freeholder can hurl defiance at the Factory Lord , when he wants to clip down the wages of his workmen to meet the extravagance ofhis lust , or to gratify the dictates of his avarice . Wc know that from the fields of his own little farm he can practically refute the " Chambers ' s , " and the " Pioneer , " and all the tribe of those , who , living upon the

      ignorance " of others , wish to retard thc progression of society , at the same time that they profess themselves the apostles of enlightenment . We therefore hail with satisfaction the sound castigation they have received from Mr . O'Connor , and cordially acquiesce ia thc se ere terms in which the rebuke is administered . Let all who live by labour read thc reply ; and as a tribute to tlieir common sense , we ask them to pronounce an impartial verdict , and to decide whether tbe iiolicv of precarious aud mercenary toil can stand

      thc test by the side of sclf-reqmting labour , sweetened hy the sense of ownership , and the knowledge that no taskmaster can come aud abstract thc proceeds of tbat labour , or divert the prodtice from its legitimate channel—the producer . This , however , is thc very thing most dreaded by all those of the Chambers' school of policy , since , this once obtained , their occupation would be gone for ever . Those who live by LIES cannot brook to sec men placed in a position to judge and act for

      themselves—a position in wliich all doubt would be solved by certainty , aud in which schemers , like these Northern journalists , would be no longer able eo work on the credulity , or pervert thc judgment of their readers—a position , indeed , to which working men arc rapidly attaining , and whose piogress cannot be stemmed by such miserable attempts as those perpetrated by the W . C . of Chambers ' notoriety . This , then , is the result which those amiable philosophers attain at last . Arc these the Free Trade teachers ? Are these Labour ' s

      advocates ? Are these the toilers sentinels ? Arc these the patrons of cottage literature , and they who sit on the watchtower , while the Factory slave is a vktiui to tleir philosophy ? Yes ! for once tbey have _thiovra the mask wide ; foi : ouce ther

      hive stepped forth in tlieir real characters , and the Northern Journalists have proved themselves worthy coadjutors of the Quaker Cotton Lord . But , now , from this very fact , we have nothing more to fear from them ;—let their article be read throughout the country , and so let Mr . O'Connor's reply . Their article will condemn ITSELF , and the reply will condemn THEM . Let every father read thc refutation to his wife and children ; let every friend make it a portion of his daily salutation to his neighbours , to ask , " Have you read O'CONNOR'S

      EXPOSURE OF THE CHAMBERS'S , and ain ' t we well served for following such blind leaders ?" Nay ! more , —as a matter of justice to ourselves , who have advocated thc Small Farm system , we plead , that it may be distinctly read at every meeting in the kingdom , and that we may have the unpurchaseable verdicts of the yet enslaved upon it . For indeed , the Land is a question of no trivial

      importance ; it is a question that involves the future well-being of thc country ; it is a question upon tlie decision of which will depend whether , as other empires have done before us , we go rolling down the track of luxury and ruin , or whether , like the grain frora the soil , the regenerating principle shall germinate among us , and infuse new life into a now exhausted and emaciated factory-population . We therefore not onlv warn all

      friends of HUMANITY against the insidious cavillings of selfish Class economists but we ask them carefully to read both attack and reply , and dispassionately to judge for themselves , whether _castij-ation was ever more merited , or refutation was ever more complete . And in commending to their notice Mr . O'Connor ' s letter , we tell the hireling scribes , though we are safe in the unpurchaseable verdict of the toiling millions , we tell those WEATHERCOCK JOURNALISTS who this year atteropi to DISPROVE

      what they laboured to PROVE in a preceding one , thatthe advocates of the Small Farm System have not exhausted their : > tore of argument , but that they are willing again and again to fight the battle of LABOUR against MONOPOLY , and of HUMANITY against COMPETITION;—that we would rather see a man his OWN MASTER than the slave of another : that we would rather see

      old ago in the COTTAGE , than in the BASTILE ; and that we would rather see a CHARTIST VILLAGE than a Factory Town or a Nobleman's Castle . We tell them , further , that practical illustrations of our assei tions arc _eren now being given , and wo inrite them to leave their dusty garrets , and visit our Chartist Farms , when they will , at least , tnvy that wliich they hare so rainly attempted to oppose .

      Another Triumph Of Right Over Might. Rel...

      ANOTHER TRIUMPH OF RIGHT OVER MIGHT . RELEASE OF THE FOUR WARRINGTON VICTIMS . It is with more pleasure than words can express that we announce the liberation of these victims of oppression . Ever since the commencement of their unjust imprisonment , Mr . Duncombe has been incessant in his endeavours to bring their case before Parliament ; six petitions have been presented to the

      house , and every other effort that the forms of Parliament would admit of , has been made . The matter , however , stood over till Tuesday last , when it was arranged that Mr . Duncombe ' s motion should be discussed . Since then , we have learnt that the discussion was prevented by the fact , that an order for the liberation of the four was sent by that night ' s post .

      Much as every case of this kind is calculated to excite our sympathies , we have felt particularly interested in this .. Mr . Roberts had entered into it with more than his usual zeal . The circumstances were , indeed , well calculated to excite such a mind as his . The mere sentence on the men was no ! , perhaps , more severe than in hundreds of other instances—but this case was marked by ita own -peculiar features of aggravation—its loud tone of insolence— " Take him away—three months'

      imprisonment aud hard _labour—where'sthe next?— " Now then , what have you got to say for yourself ? don't be insolent to the Uench , " & c . We never recollect a case exhibiting more reckless and indecent contempt of the forms and solemnities of justice . Thc trials of Wyke and Gerrard did not occupy—so the prisoners say—two minutes each ; and there is no donbt whatever but that , if Mr . Roberts had arrived at Warrington five minutes later , all four would have beeu committed without his having the opportunity of _utlcrin-- a word iu their favour .

      The working men of England should gather courage from what has been effected by the working men of Warrington . The case which has just received so glorious a termination , is another clear proof that there arc some means even now open to the poor of obtaining redress against oppression , if they will be but true to themselves . This is a subject which we should like to enlarge upon , but

      are restrained by the consideration that probably the matter is not quite at rest , and may he destined before long to figure even in the presence of a higher tribunal . "A higher tribunal I" what a phrase it is—how significant !—how " extremely unpleasant" to the reckless magistrate—what retr ibution it threatens to tyranny ! We can fancy how the justices stared at each other when the " rude exnression " first wounded their ears .

      It is said that dunug the last mouth Mr . Thomas Lloyd , the senior magistrate , has expressed his " fixed determination , " if the men should be liberated , to retire from the bench . What a hopewhat a blessing is here ! held out ! But we warn our Warrington friends to place no reliance upon it . Often as soma similar hope has been offered as an inducement to our exertions , it lias always turned out false and delusive . " Retire from the bench ' . "—what a glorious opportunity of relieving the anxiety of his friends aud serving his country i But Thomas Lloyd , Esq ., will not avail himself of it . They who attend the -Warrington court o

      Monday next will see him there as usual . " Constable , tell those boys to pull their caps oft '— 'turn ' cm out if they make a noise . " His tone may be less boisterous , ami there may and will be a greater degree of order ; for this , indeed , is a part of the good that has been effected by his punishment _, but the man will be there—watching the peopleguessing how far he may go with safety . Rely o n it , Thomas , you will be well watched for some time io come . Be careful : another blunder ! and you go to the right-about , "Retire into private life ! " Nonsense— " Go back to the brewery first ! " " Constable , turn those hoys out !"

      Parliamentary Review. The Terms On Which...

      PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW . The terms on which the Chancellor of the Exchequer has contracted for the Eight Million Loan for Ireland , are only one degree worse than the original blunder , of meeting the exigency by an addition to the permanent debt , instead of reducing expenses , and imposing such slight temporary addition to

      taxation , as might have been requisite for the purpose . The houses of Rothschild and Baring , by previous agreement between Ihemselves , are to pay 89 / . 10 s . for every 100 / . stock—in other words , in order to get hold of eight millions of actual uiouey , upon which interest and charges to the amount of 3 f . 7 s . Cd . must be paid annually , the Chancellor of the Exchequer creates a debt of 8 . 938 . 570 ? . ; of of uearty we miS ' _um _uioie than ne

      receives ! We cannot understand on what principle so improvident a bargain has been made , for the excuse that he has followed the course of his predecessors , is no reason at all . Why should not 1 / . stock represent 1 / . sterling ? Let u 9 pay a fair market price for the money at the time the debt is contracted , whether that be four or fire per cent ., leaving it to future financiers to pay off that stock of a high denomination , and replace it by other at a lower per centage , whenever they were able to do so . But should a future Chancellor of the Exchequer ever be in a position to reduce the charges

      on this debt , say a half per cent ., he will hare to pay off 938 , 5701 . over and above the eight millions actually received . By means of a similar juggle on the part of previous financiers , the poor tax-ridden people of this country have been saddled with enormous burdens , for which a fair quid pro quo was never received , in any shape whatever . From 1794 to 1817 , both inclusive , we borrowed for " public purposes " —L e . for the purpose of crushing the revolution in France , and forcing the elder branch of the Bourbon family back on its people—584 , 874 , 556 / . in money , for which stock of various

      kinds was given , to the amount of no less than 872 , 289 , 911 * 5 / ., or nearly three hundred millions more than wc ever received ; and upon the total of which , dividends to the amount of 30 , 174 , 364 / . had to be paid annually . In reducing the charges on this debt , the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund had to calculate as if the whole amount of nearly nine hundred millions had been received , instead of nearly six hundred millions ' , and the nation has , consequently , had to bear all the loss on this fictitious debt , under every operation affecting it , whether in paying the old charges at which the debt

      was contracted , or under the operations by which t hese charges were subsequently reduced . For these reductions the Whigs can take no credit . They are , and always have been , thc worst financiers and men of business ever known to hold office in this country . From the lst of January , 1816 , being the commencement of the year after the battle of Waterloo , to the lst of January , 1831 , two months after the W _liigs came into office , tbe Tory party had paid off no less than eighty millions of the National Debt ; they had reduced its annual charges by nearly four millions five hundred thousand , and they left a real sinking fund—a clear surplus income above expenditure—of above two millions six hundred thousand a year , to their successors . They did this ,

      notwithstanding they had to struggle through the difficulties incident to a change from war to peacethrough the terrible crisis resulting from the change ofthe currency in 1819 , and through the almost unparalleled commercial panic of 1825-6 . The Whigs came into office just as all these financial difficulties had been mastered , and a new race of active enterprising men had succeeded the numerous classes whom previous causes had consigned to beggary and ruin . The fine harvests ofthe years 1834 , ' 35 , and ' 36 , produced an almost unprecedented amount of commercial prosperity ; and , indeed , up to 1840 , they may be said to have had an unusual amount of favourable circumstances with them . What was the result of their financial management , under these circumstances ? We take the returns from "

      Porter ' s Progress of the Nation , " for eight years of their administration . They added nearly TEN MILLIONS to the public debt—the clear annual surplus of 2 , 600 , 000 / . which they received from their predecessors , was converted , during these years of unprecedented commercial prosperity , into a deficit of above 1 , 500 , 000 / . a year . The charges on the debt were , during the same period , increased by the sum of 940 , 000 / . ; and before they were kicked out of office by an indignant and disgusted country , they had increased the annual deficit to upwards of TWO

      MILLIONS ! We refer to these matters at the commencement of a new lease of office to these incapable , blundering blockheads , in connexion with the new loan just contracted , for the purpose of illustrating the course they are likely to pursue , and its disastrous consequences , as long as thc country shall be unfortunate enough to be cursed by their rule . The Peel Government left them even a larger annual surplus in hand , than the Wellington Government did in 1830 . They had no . deficiency bills flying about the market j but in

      addition to upwards of three millions of actual surplus , had nine millions of real money in the Exchequer to draw upon at the commencement of the year ! Under these circumstances , if there was any real necessity for a loan , which we must deny , they had the power of making a good bargain for the country , instead of which , they have made the extravagant and improvident one we have alluded to , and thus shown they arc only commencing again a career of financial ' mismanagement , that must carry m again to the shores of that" bottomless deficiency" on which , in the latter days of the former Whig Government , Baring sat and fished in vain for a revenue .

      One might feel disposed to overlook somewhat this innate incapacity for financial policy which distinguishes thc Whigs , if there were any other redeeming points about their character . But where arc we to look for them ? Are they more liberal , in a political sense , than their nominal opponents ? Let Lord John Russell ' s opposition to the repeal of the rate-paying clauses of the Reform Bill be an answer .

      Are they prepared to go further for the educational , sanatory , or social improvements of the ' community than their predecessors , who were so infinitely superior in their management of the national finances ? Let their measures on these various questions reply True ; we grant that in promises they are more liberal , but the performance halts a long way behind . 1 _' ecl promised little , and did much . Russell reverses it—he promises much , and does little .

      There Is But One Measure For Which Wc Fe...

      There is but one measure for which wc feel the slightest gratitude to the present ministry ; and even tu that case , the gratitude belongs to individuals , and not to the whole Cabinet . They all sail in the same boat when tiiere is any mischief to be done , or any _resistanceVnade to political progress and demands , but when a really good social measure is in hand , they make it an " open question , " and exhibit the shameful spectacle of a Cabinet divided against itself ; its members speak agaiust each other aud upon a division , walk into different lobbies . This by no means decorous exhibition has beenshowu again and

      again during tlte debates on the Ten Hours' Bill . On Wednesday , Sir George Grey declared himself in favour of ten hours ; Lord Morpeth for eleven , and against ten ; Mr . Ward and Mr . Milner Gibson against interference altogether-, and thus the confusion went on . Still it is gratifying to find that the support given by the Premier to the bill , in conjunction with the large number of supporters of tiie measure who vote for it upon principle , are sufficient to constitute majorities large enough to beat triumphantly the opposition of the millowners and political economists . We cannot account for the fiery and novel zeal of Mr . Escott , the member for Winchester , in defence of the " vested interests" of spindles , throstles , mules , and power-looms , except convertlie

      by attributing it to the zeal of a new . has only recently abjured the defence of the " agricultural interests , " to protect which he has been sent into Parliament by the farmers and landlords of Hampshire , and , by a not unusual or unnatural reaction , in getting loose from his old moorings has gone with a swing to the opposite extreme . But , however praiseworthy his zeal iu the eyes of his new masters , or friends—whichever may be the rela _' . iou he stands in to them—we apprehend that the opinions of one so little acquainted practically with the subject will not for a moment be put in the scale against that of Mr . Fielden and Mr . Brotherton , wbo have all their lives been connected with the manufacture of cotton ; the latter , as he nobly told tlie house , having worked as a factory boy

      himself , and formed in youth resolutions to destroy the slavery to which lie and his class were subjected , which he adheres to in his old age . As to Sir J . GrahamJf * opposition , that was to be expected . He has always been a rigid political economist in this matter , unable to see or reason upon any point connected with the subject , except the " interests of capital . '' He and the whole ofthe _onc-siiM theoretical school toj _vrhicli Vie belongs

      There Is But One Measure For Which Wc Fe...

      always assume that if they legislate for the prosperity of capital , the prosperity of labour is included . The theory is a plausible one . The practice , to a very considerable extent , does not bear it out . We regret , however , that Sir R . Peel should , as we think SO unnecessarily , have put himself forward as a prominent opponent of the claims of the operatives . The same " experience" -which convinced him of his error in upholding the old protective system , ought ere this to have convinced him of the propriety of supporting the Ten Hours Bill . From 1815 , when his father , who understood this subject practically , and who left on record the emphatic prophecy , that " unless machinery was regulated , it would become England ' s greatest curse , " down to the last discussion , the opponents of regulation have predicted all sorts of evil from

      interference . What are the facts ? Why , that in proportion as interference has increased , manufactures have also increased . Not a solitary _prediction of the croakers has been realized . And so it will be now with the false and hypocritical pretence on wliich tlie opponents resist the bill , viz ., that it will injure the operatives themselves , by reducing wages . The operatives have studied political economy , and the law of " supply and demand" for themselves , and ' they feel well convinced thatthe scarecrow hung out to terrify them by the mill-lords is a scarecrow , and nothing more : and , whether or not , they have made up their minds to abide the issue of the experiment . It is gratifying to see , by the majority of 90 , which resisted the last attempt to continue their slavery , that they are likely this session to achieve their lougsought-for emancipation .

      A Subject Of Considerable Importance Was...

      A subject of considerable importance was discussed on Tuesday : the right of the Scotch landlords to refuse sites for building churches for the late seceders from the Established Kirk of Scotland . Two grave questions were invoJred in the discussion : the extent to whieh the doctrine of the inviolability of private property is to be carried , and the right of private judgment in matters of reli gious belief . Certain lairds belonging to the Established Kirk , possessing the exclusive ownership of whole counties , have obstinately refused to _grjtnt sites for churches to the members of the Free Kirk . Practically , this refusal amounted to a

      completeprohibition of the exercise of a particular form of worship . The highway , the glen or hill-side , under all weathers , were the only places open to them ; in the land of their nativity they were denied the shelter of a roof while worshipping God according to the dictates of their consciences . This disgraceful state of things is clearly an outrage upon the most sacred of human rights , and a gross abuse of the right of private property , which cannot fail to force investigation into the nature of that right itself , and the conditions upon which it is granted . There is no divine and imprescriptible right to property in landit is and must always be held subject to reservations for the public convenience and well-being .

      Exclusive property m the soil is granted only upon condition that such property shall not stand in the way of the general benefit . Hence limitations upon individual rights become established on the same bases as the rights themselves . The right to knock down a man ' s house which obstructs a thoroughfare ; the right to insist that when he builds , he shall make drains and sewers ; the right to run a railway through his park , precious from ancestral associations , and thc efforts of years to adorn it ; are exemplifications of the primitive and indestructible power of Society to modify and control the rights she has given , whenever the public welfare requires . It is well to stir these questions now and then , and , so far , good may

      arise from the intolerant obstinacy of the Scottish lairds . The inquiry granted by the House of Commons , and the anticipated wrdict against the tyranny exercised by these _lairds , is also a benefit , inasmuch as itformsa precedent upon which in future times , others who are farther removed from fashionable sympathy than the members , of the Free Kirk , may demand social and proprietary rights . Unitarians , Quakers Socialists , Chartists , and even Atheists , may take their stand on the same ground , and demand that the conventional and limited right of property in land shall not override the sacred and imprescriptible right of liberty of conscience and free speech practised with all the conveniences that belong to the most favoured sects .

      The Irish Measures Have Made Way So Slow...

      The Irish measures have made way so slowly this week , that they are scarcely in a fit position for criticism . Indeed , we have at present nothing to add to former comments upon them .
