      C 0 EEB 2 _AXCH i > P THE IRISH DEMOCRATIC ASSOCIATION . ( From tbe Irishman , of Saturday , _ATarch 30 . ) The asnal weekly meeting of this hody was held on Hondsy , the 25 tto . There -was a numerous attendance . Mr . _Teacock , a Fraternal Democrat , and _delegate from . Greenock to the great _National Asembly , convened in London in Say , 1848 , -was called to the chair . In the course of his observation * the chairman remarked , that he had seen the people of many nations , bnt so trodden down a 7-sople as the Irish he had never _vtitoesscd . "With a climate and soil unequalled , the Irish people were the most miserahle on earth . It was to class legislation all this was attributable ; it was class legislation made Irishmen outcasts on the soil which God gave them , and forced them lo emigrate to _otierhind- * , less favoured by nature , to gain that subsistence which was denied them at home . He

      had anxiously watched the progress of Democracy onthe continent , and had listened to great truths enunciated by some ofthe greatest men of his time , im something was now required in action . The _speakerthenadvertedtoMr . Feargus O'Connorsaid he knew him intimately , and believed in his sod that an honesier man nor a purer patriot never existed . He only required to be invited among his countrymen to -advocate their cause , with tbat honesty aad fearlessness which had ever characterised Mm . The speaker concluded a very able and eloquent address , amidst enthusiastic cheers , by asserting tbat Ms countrymen , the Scotch , as well as English { who were as much oppressed hy cottonlords and monopolists as their brethren in Ireland were by landlords } , were ready to stretch the right hand of fellowshi p to all Irishmen . Organise and spread your principles , for the sovereignty of labour tsiU some day come . Several staunch Democrats Were admitted .

      Mr . It . Ormond proposed a resolution , whieh was seconded by Mr . Thos . Carey , to the effect that an address to the "Rationalists of Cork be prepared ; and that a subscription list be opened to defray the expenses attendant printing and distributing same . Mr . Edward O'Sullivan , "Vice-President of the "Gantry Donald Combh Ciub in ' 48 , and personal friend of many of the martyrs and exiles , was then _imanimon .-ly admitted a member . He said he had heen in Paris , and had seen John O'ilahony and Stephens there . ( The mention of the names of the glorious exiles was the signal for a burst of applause , which showed how their sufferings for the poor old country was appreciated by the Democrats Oi Cork , and many fond and anxious questions were

      asked relative to their appearance and health . ) Mr . 0 * S . said that the contrast between his unfortunate countrymen and the Parisians was , indeed , ¦ _ushearteiiing . While iher # he had not seen a druukeii m-m . nor one with his coat in tatters . He had witnessed more vice one ni ght in tbe "" few street , in Cork , than in all Paris for a week . The _democracy of Ireland must give up such vicious habits , if they intended ever doing any good for their country . He _joined the last movement , because he _Jjeheved it to be one calculated to benefit the conntry ; he had always taken tbe part of the Pe " *" " _** 01 Ded tbem mw a - ' - "¦ - " ¦ _""g * ' Democrat . * iJ : matters were gone through , after whieh the meeting separated .

After doing ample justice to the good things provided , the chairman , nx aa excellent speech , adverted to the origin and ' " - "story of the club , showing the progress various "" - "embers had made in public speaking , and conctaded by wishing prosperity to the institution . — _Peter Gow , in a feeling speech , laid bare the _cruel-Jjes of non-re 3 ponsibIe governments , and pointed to "fe feet that a number ofthe best men of France

      EEF . OKM . FRENCH AFFAIRS . Beother _Proletabians , Itis not difficult to _distinguiBh eham from real Reformers , the former , though loadmouthed against political abuses , hare not a word io say against the _eyils—a thousand-fold _worse—which form part and parcel of the existing social system . Your mere political Reformer will declaim against the corruptions of the Established Church , the abominations of sinecures and unmerited pensions , the cost of Generals , Admirals , and Ambassadors :

      and set - * ap for a model regenerator of his country , on the strength of demanding a reduction often thousand men in the army , or a gradual return to the forty-four million " Standard of 1835 . " To the above named abuses the -rentable Reformer also objects ; and is _< p \ te willing to lend a hand to measures of retrenchment and political amendment , much more sweeping than those advocated b y the " Manchesterschool . ¦ ' But he desires to go somewhat further , being - ivell assured ihat " cheap government" is not , of itself , sufficient to redeem the millions from misery and slavery .

      The hostility exhibited by the genteel reformers to every scheme propounded for the amelioration of the social condition of the masses , is sufficiently indicative of the meaning tbey _attach to what they term " reform , " The monarchy shorn of its ' ¦ barbaric sp lendours "—the church compelled to disgorge its superabundant wealth—the scions ofthe aristocracy forced to give place to the sons of cotton-spinners—lower taxation affording a p lausible pretest for still lowering wages—and finally , the little shopocracy and worMng-class

      aristocracy , exercising the franchise , and combined with the capitalist class , to keep down the ragged , wretched , and despairing Proletarians—behold the genteel reformers' beauideal of " good and cheap government . " To such reformers , any plan devised for the purpose of rescuing the "working people from the thraldom of wages-slavery—whether such plan be a Socialist community , a Chartist Land Scheme , or a Co-operative "Workers ' establishment—is , in their estimation , the " abomination of desolation . "

      Every one is aware that the " Daily News " claims to be considered the diurnal champion of Manchester liberalism . To that paper must be accorded the honour (?) of having been the first to attack the band of earnest men who have taken tbe initiative in the grand experiment of associating capital with labour—with the ' view of excluding the idle capitalist from sharing the rewards of industry . The " Daily "News * ' avers , that the working tailors have no reasonable complaint against competition ; that , in this country , wages are , and must be , the only means of

      remunerating the working classes , and that co-operation " of the working men must fail . The first of these averments is in glaring contradiction to the immense mass of evidence published in the "Morning Chronicle , " which evidence has been confirmed at innumerable meetings of tailors , held both at the east and west end of London . Thousands of men and women have testified to the fact , that competition amongst themselves for employment , and the competition of their employers for proSt , have so brought down prices , that even the imprisoned felon , and bastilled pauper ,

      are better lodged , clothed , and fed , than the majority of those who , by the cunning of their fingers , provide articles which , next to food , are of primary importance . The assertion tbat wages must be ihe only means o remunerating the "working classes , and that cooperation on their part must fail , is as impudent in assumption as it is false in economical reasoning . For , though it is admitted that , under existing arrangements , labour needs the aid of the capitalist , yet the truth is evident tbat , without the reproductive power of labour , cap ital -would soon be absorbed . Therefore ,

      labour has . the power—inherent in itself—of reproduction . "While capital is the mere assistant , lahour is the essential princi p le of production . Bat it is not the cause of capital thatthe " Daily News '" advocates ; it is that of the cap italists ; of those who , by chicanery and fraud , have possessed themselves of the accumulations of industry . "Under the present system , the capitalist depends npon labour to produce the means oi . paying the labourer ' s wages , to replace the capital otherwise absorbed , and , over and above these items , to afford himself profit whereby

      to live in luxury , and to make additions to his capital . Why , in the name of common-sense , should not these beneficial results be -wholl y appropriated b y those who labour , and the profit-grasping employer give way to _. the skilled manager , appointed by his co-operatives , and sharing with them the fruits of their common industry ? One fact , however , is worth a thousand arguments . The Co-operative Tailors , of Castle-street , Oxfordstreet , are g iving practical refutation to the Manchester philosophy . They are already in a condition to commence the repayment of the borrowed capital out of their profits , in addition to their having received a far hi gher

      remuneration for their labour than they would have had under the ordinary arrangements . It may benrged , that the tailors could not have commenced operations , had they nothad the assistance of borrowed capital ; . and the objector may demand how are the working classes to obtain capital for co-operative purposes ? I repl y , that the better paid of the working classes may supply capital by the same mode that they support their Benefit Societies , Trades Unions , Strikes , & c , & c . The less fortunate may possibly , like the tailors , be able to borrow the necessary capital . A third , and still more powerful and efficient aid , would , under just political and social institutions , be afforded from the resources of the state . Of course ,

      the bare supposition of such economical arrangements must excite the abhorrence of speculators in labour generally—the Manchester school in particular , and especiall y their liberal organ , tbe " Dail y News . " I have not space to follow this apologist of profitmongering rapacity through his tortuous course of sophistry and humbug . I wiJl notice but two more points of the article under

      review . The sapient editor advises , as a remedy for the evils of the tailoring trade , that the hig her class of employers should lower their prices , and thereb y attract custom from the present cheap establishments . He emphaticall y adds , " reductions of price , by better sorts of master tailors , ought to be the first hope ofthe working tailors . " Even a greater idiot than the editor of the " Dail y News , " might understand , that the result of such a course would be a reduction of the -wages of the comparativel y well-paid hands to a scale approaching that of the Hebrew blood sucker . Leaving Professor Maurice to reply to the " News" editor ' s sneers at " Christian

      Socialism , " I will merely observe , that Christianity is only reverenced by the Manchester school , so long as it is made to minister to their selfishness . The mere prospect of its being identified * with economical arrangements to elevate the labourer from bis present miserable condit ion , suffices to set these respectable and liberal Christians in a rage . In fact , they value religion only aa they value law and literature , politics and philosophy—as instruments of oppression , imposture , and spoliation , _BSWBES _rSQLEIABIAMS — Tbe fiei £ &>

      publicans of France have , gained another victory , in electing their candidate for the department of the Vosges , to tike the seat of a _representative deceased ; ' Vidai , elected along with CAKNOiandDBFioTTE , was elected also for the Bas Rhin _, and has decided on sitting for that department _^ This will occasion another election for Paris . The Ordermongers have not yet fixed on a candidate . It is said , that Girardin , of the " Presse ; " will be . the man ofthe Democracy . If so , and if the Socialist Democrats will unanimously accord him their votes _„ .. _ __ .,,, _ ,

      , there can be no doubt of his election . Not forgetting the antecedents of that personage , theremust , nevertheless , betaken into consideration , the good service he has of late rendered to the good cause , and that his election would possess a peculiar significance , most distasteful tothe ruling tyrants . Talcing into account , therefore , all the . circumstances of the situation , it appears to rae that the Reds of Paris would show-a wise discretion , and adopt a politic course , by giving their support to GlRAKDIN .

      On the 27 th of March , the Editor of the ( extinct ) " Reforme" was condemned to a year s imprisonment , and a fine of 2 , 000 francs , for having published the " Address of the French Exiles ofthe 13 th of June , resident in Loudon , to their democratic brethren in England .

      , From the bottom of our hearts wo thank you for tho noble manifestation of syiapatny contained in your addresses to our suffering compatriots , to tlieir families and friends , and to ourselves . Your _sympathy is a gloiieus proof of the rapid progress of the ideas for which we are suffering . You have truly said that the religion of Fraternity is arising from tlie ruins of false systems . True also itis that our enemies are yours ; for our cause is the cause ofthe oppressed of every land .

      r or the moment victory is to Falsehood and _Treason . It is Falsehood nhich Las delivered up France to the sham republicans . It was under the influence of Falsehood that a French army was led to attack Rome . It was Falsehood that disarmed tlie heroes ofllungary . Treason is everywhere _. It forced our brethren , the soldiers of France , _alftongh raging witli despair and shame , to destroy a free people whom they loved . Treason has subjugated the Rhine and the Danube , opened the _gates of _Mihm , Borne , Yienna , Rastadt , Venice , and Comorn . Treason is

      extending , and scaffolds are the monuments of its triumphs . We repeat , victory for the moment I The Democrats of Europe struggle for Truth , for llight-and Truth cannot perish , and against Eight even majorities are powerless . Liberty ! _Equulitji Fraternity ! Immortal principles that move the world . Those of your defenders who have not suffered death are consigned to dungeons , reduced to silence , or driven into exile . But the love of mankind , the hope of triumph , the faith ot the maytyr remain to tliem , and tlieir sufferings are mitigated , while theypress the hands offered to them by their brethren of all countries .

      Thanks to you ,- English democrats , for your words of _encouragement and affection . Be assured we shall remain firm to the good cause , and believe that you will soon hear resound from aU parts of France the raUying cry , YiVE iii ILePDBLIQGE D . EMOC _1 _UTIQUE et SoCIAIE .

      _^ Mark the persecuting spirit of the ruffians in power . Not content with extinguishing the "Beforme " by lines , seizures ofthe cautionmoney _, and sentences of imprisonment , they pursue with implacable hatred every man who has been connected Avith that journal , and against whom they can concoct a charge of any Mud . Generosity is unknown to these miscreants , who give daily proof that they are of that order of wretches who , not content with committing murder , will even g luttheir . revenge by mangling the lifeless remains oi jtheir victim . How infamous to the persecutors is this continued war of vengeance against the staff of a journal , which no longer exists to trouble them . It is the intention ofthe Committee of

      the Society of Fraternal Democrats to contri _* bute towards the sum inflicted as a fine . It is to be hoped that members and friends of the Societ y wiil aid the Committee in carrying out an intention , so trul y laudable , and worth y of a bod y established to practice , as well as to preach , the great princip le of Fraternity . The infamous Iavv for transforming the French schoolmasters into police agents , and teachers of the Ordermongers , has been for some time past in operation ; and the consequence has been the dismissal from their employment of a vast number of able and

      excellent men , whose crime is that of being faithful to the "Republic . These victims ofthe ruffianl y Ordermongers being reduced to beggary ; an attempt has been made to obtain public subscriptions for their relief . On Saturday last a private meeting , held to organise the subscription , was pounced upon b y the police , and a number of persons were dragged prisoners to the Prefecture . Can such infernal tyranny fail to evoke universal disgust and indignation ? And when the hour of retribution arrives , will not the just punishment of the tyrants be hailed with shouts of joy , by the people of every land ? . L'AMI DI 7 PETJPLE . April 4 , 1850 .

      TO THE DEMOCRATS OF BRITAIN . ( From the Irishman of March 30 th . ) _, Brothers of England and Scotland—children ofthe Saxon and tbe Gfael— -we no longer fear to address you . Democracy is no longer an Eutopia—the dream of a cloistered visionary—but a broad , solid , and consistent principle , wide as Europe , and strong as manhood . Heard ye the shout from France the other day ? Marked ye the magic in the names of Carnot , "Vidal and De Flotte , the chosen of the workman , au 8 the representatives of France ' s proud capital ? Triumphant were they—those brave onvriers—over rank , wealth , power , and the intimidation and intrigue of a profligate Government .

      Listen to the echoes from Switzerland—how the sp irit often thousand Tells raises the warshout from the rough breasts of the Alps . Hark ! again from ' Germany comes the din of preparation . The old Teutonic ' , blood is once more stirred , and the battle of liberty is again to be kindled on new and fairer fields . Europe , as one man , is on the move ; one voice rises from the shores of Kerry to the craggy heig hts of the Ural . Freedom is shouted in fifty tongues ; libert y and independence are echoed from hill to hill , _scariug tyranny , and confronting oppression . The Pole once more brandishes his broken spear . The Magyar and Wend , the _3 dave and Saxonthe inheritors of Rome s glory and fall—unite with one heart to call for , and fight for , the

      rights of man . Shall we be behind , friends , in the young dawn of this great political millenium ? Shall free-born Britons alone clank the chain in cowardly contentment , amid the sneers and scorn of struggling Europe ? Long , men of England , have ye been trained to lay your heels upon the neck of the trodden Celt , and to laug h with exultation over the wrongs of fellow-slaves . Ye were made to believe that to oppress was to be free , and that to enable your masters to tyrannise , was to g lorify ond ennoble yourselves .

      At last have ye awaked ; has the iron pierced sufficientl y deep into your souls , or must another half-century degrade you lower than your brother _brutesf Wo ; we are proud to say the spirit of the age burns bright in the hearts of our English brothers . The throes that convulse Europe for the birth of a new race , are felt through the hamlets of Britain ; and , - in the great struggle that already looms dark on the _horison , the men of the Western isles—white-cliffed Albany and Green Erin—will not be behind .

      Our war-cry has risen for masters through the four comers of the world ; at length we are to raise it for -ourselves . Let ns go on with the courage of men . Our rights , interests , and our honour , are at stake . Let _WBOt be behind in _asserting them .: We trust

Look , men , of England—look round you ; it _is , housea ; and lands , not men , that make _yourlaws . It is thecit y tenement , or the rural freehold , tliat votes ; the owner is

      but an accident . Let him have an estate of five hundred a year ,. and he is recognised as a free-born Briton , with all the rights , privileges , and immunities belonging thereto . Strip him of his wealth ; let the hand of misfortune press heavy on him , and he is nothing—the paradise of . the constitution is ' barred against him ; aud , like a second Adam , he is driven out , found guilty of the crime of poverty . Where is the change ? Is it inthe man , or the fortune ? Is he less wise , less honest , or intelligent ,, because he is less wealthy ? And what does this prove , but that your legislators

      care notnmg tor men or their knowledge , Or independence—but onl y for thoir richer * ; and that your constitution is not a constitution for free and patriotic citizens , but for brick walls , and houses , and factories , and estates , and farms , and freeholds ? Away , then , with this brick-wall Constitution : tear it down , it is an ini quity and and a reproach . To tolerate it , ia to bo accessories in your own shame . Base , be men - you are the strength of the nation , and the just side is yours ; and -when strength and justice are united , they are irresistible—in action becomes a crime , and apathy a cowardly vice . Think how the Charter was wrun g from John . ; Did these bold barons crouch before

      the throne—lick the dust on which the king and council fa _* od---and beset the royal ear with whining petitions and sanctimonious prayers ? Did they ? Was the Stuart pushed from the throne of his fathers by the pressure of loyal signatures and sweet-mouthed allegiance ? How did the aristocracy rise above the crown , and trample down both soverei gn and people ? —how , but by the naked sword and the thundering artillery ?¦•' - ¦

      History is not written for nothing friends : the traditions of the past are the guides to the future . Your path is ' chalked out ; the track is well beaten ; dare ye follow it—are ye cowards , or are ye men ? We do not repel the highwayman with a drawing-room compliment ; we do not greet the assassin with a complacent bow , but with a blow well struck home , with a heart , a hand , and a will . What , then , are we do with _thelegalised highwayman ? How are . we to hail the assassin of our rights and liberties as freemen—the plunderer of our toil and propert y as citizens '* " Shall we write our names on foolscap , and bid him read the scroll ?—¦ shall we euter into . Bubtle argument and pious discussion with the murderers of our commonwealth ?— -shall we

      litter the halls of Westminster with monster petitions , and make our humble ' prayers to men redolent of London hells-, to full-fed g luttons , and drunken debauchees?—shall we ask pur ri ghts of those to whom the very name ol justice is a sneer and a bye-word ?— -men who have g iven to themselves special immunity from the ordinary claims of "law , " ' and are not rotting in prisons because they have erected statutes to enable , them to cheat

      the working classes , and to rcb and plunder religiously arid constitutionally _! ' •* ' These be your gods , ' O Israel ! '' These , men of England , are the legislators before whom you must crouch like an eastern devotee , and whose ear you must gain b y the whining cant of a Puritan . These are the men whose dignity honest citizens must not offend with honest words , but whom we must approach by roundabouts , and conciliate by the prostrations ofa Persian slave . .

      Long lire the Constitution , its provisions and its laws , its statutes audits enactments , ' its equity and its justice , its patronage of the great and its oppression of the humble _^—lon g live the slaves who bear and the tyrants who oppress . Perhaps we have wronged ' * ' Parliament " and mistaken " leg islators . " , Perhaps we have overrated the value of the workin g classes . The American wise men tell us that God made the blacks for slaves , and that to elevate them above that rank would be to insult

      His providence and frustrate His intentions . Who knows but He may have ordained white slaves also ? Who knows but pauperism and poverty , and misery — created , aggravated , and continued b y _. Parliamentary enactmentmay be the destined condition of the men of England ? Who knows but they are fit for nothing else than grinding at tho mill and clanking the fetters of degraded serfdom \ . 44 Parliament'' says this , the press says

      this , andthe pulpit is the echo of both . Wo long to hear the voice of England itself . Will they submit , those brawny workmen , to be mulcted by . law and insulted b y statute ? If they do , they prove the charge , The contented slave is unfit for liberty . , The coavardly patriot is unfit for anything . Action is the life of man . Dare the men of England act—dare they first lay the foundation , and then build the edifice' ?

      Brothers of England , we : will not wrong your manhood , pr your good , sense , b y doubting your determination . , Our heart tells us you are ready . Go on , in God ' s name ; spread your principles , and unite and consolidate your numbers . Time ' presses ; use it well ; another twenty-fourth of February may , ere long , summons once more the despots of Europe to judgment . Be ready for the issue . We shall call you to sit as jurors on the trial of our common wrongs . We shall weave together the rose and shamrock— --the oho no longer tyrannical , the other oppressed . We shall fight no longer the battle of a party , a creed , or a class , but shall grave on one shield , and write on one banner , " The rights of liberty , of labour , and of man . '' .

      On a future , occasion we shall enter more full y into this question . We shall discuss with you that bottomless pit , that swallows up all prosperity—that strength of a rotten Government , but weakness pf . a struggling peoplethe National Debt . We shall survey your properties , and we shall see that the only difference between Irish and English slavery is , that ours is ostensible , while yours though less apparent , is equally real arid oppressive ..

      In the meantime , 'be prepared for the battle ; be practical , be determined . Remember , the most encbusiastic patriotism and the most indomitable courage are nothing while isolated , If you would succeed , you must multiply your strength by uniting your numbers . Train yourselves to combine and act harmoniously together . Hold your meetings regularly , and consult like brothers . We should recommend the formation of branch associations without

      delay . It IS hard to say but your services may , ere long , be wanted ; A crowded society is an inconvenient and unwieldly engine ; you will , therefore , probably conclude that numerous small meetings will be more decorous and manageable than a great aggregate assembly . As a common action , common princi p les , and a harmonious movement , are of all things

      desirable , it will be necessary that a close and intimate connexion be kept up throughout . This can only be done by fixing on a common centre , which may act as ia heart to the organisation ; Dublin has so far answered this end , and may still , till a better can be procured . From our Dublin brothers you will meet every courtesy , and a heroio readiness to sacrifice everything for the goodl cause . , In fine , menof England _^ be worthy of yourselves ; act with courageous prudence . Recruit and '• frill _ftc t _& 9 great _army of liberty .

      11,Mn To The Members Op The National Lan...

      11 , mn TO THE MEMBERS OP THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY . Allow me as a memlaGi ' , not paid-up , to offer , a few words on what I conceive to be the only course loft for its members to adopt . Ko one fov a moment doubts but that , a ; man with ordinary labour and perseverance can support a family and make provision for sickness and old . age . upon tho Company ' s allotments . We know that by our united savings wo have accumulated a sum of upwards of-8100 , 000 ; the object of that sum subscribed was to lessen tlie fierce strife between man and man , and which made him work at such fearful remuneration as almost to amount to starvation , accompanied with an oarly nnd premature death . This was the primary object of bringing the Land Company into existence . At this moment the property is . at a stand-still , and

      our unampion lias applied for leave to bring in a bill to wind up its affairs . . Without knowing much of law , I do think we mi ght save a deal of money , anxiety , and trouble , aiid above all the distribution of its capital back ¦ to tho shareholders , which would give our tyrants thc satisfaction of seeing us disunited , and enable them to use the . iron rod with still greater force on the unprotected . artisan . The seeming confidence its members possess in Feargus O'Connor could , I think , annul the existence of the Company , without any legal expense , in a short time , and pay all the dissatisfied and unworthy members back their subscriptions , . by making him a present of all monies paid into the Company . Let the paid-up shareholders send their scrip , and . the

      other members a declaration to that effect , and thereby set the legal protection on one side , and enable Feargus O'Connor to purchase , sell , or mortgage as he thinks best , and go on as fast as he possibly can without all these quibbles of law . Then he could give tho allottee * a lease of ninetynine years , and two lives , on their immediate possession , the allottee paying forthe same . It would not matter to the occupier if he sold ifc the next day , and this would enable him to go on buying _, selling , and leasing . We have had much talk and no work about class legislation ; let us then show our rulers that itis not a selfish combination of working men , but that , a true philanthropic , spirit pervade 3 this large body to emancipate the working

      population of the country , from a state of destitution to happiness and plenty . Some persons may say how would you locate pn the land ? First , bear in mind , that it . is tbe . competition of our brother workers in endeavouring to get . employment or starve , that creates that anxiety to free ourselves from our -taskmasters . Remove the surplus la ? bourer , and we shall . be _. able to show our employers that wo are worthy of our hire , and , then , and only then , will the producers be acknowledged _something more than slaves . Let , then , Mr . Feargus O'Connor sell the ' allotments to the highest bidder , in single allotments , or thie whole of an estate , as may seem to him best . This would bring capital back to purchase more , land iu- the wholesale to sell in the retail market , which the government seem

      determined shall not be done by the Company . , I am convinced , if . the allotments were sold to-morrow , that they would . realise twenty shillings for every pound expended thereon . I think I hear some one ask , would you allow O'Connor to receive £ 200 for that wliich cost only - £ 150 ? Yes ; because the whole of the country would reap the benefit . First , the . tradesman with ' his capital leaves his shop , whieh is instantl y filled by a mechanic . The unwilling idler gets work thereby , giving employment to others , and at last you will find that it has snatched the labourer froni the bastile . Lose not sight of the fact , that it is you that are in work that not only support-thc aristocracy , and all those wlip fill our gaols and workhouse ? , and every unwilling idler .

      The ballot bas been a stumbling-block to our rulers , let us see if we cannot find a better substitute for it . When we cannot find single purchasers for the allotments , Jet the country be equall y divided according to numbers subscribing to the Redemption Fund as I will call it ; then let each subscriber have one vote or recommendation , however small a sum lie may have subscribed ; then let our friend say how many districts are to recommend so many persons , and the district having the most votes , to be entitled to _thelittlc paradise , he trusting in our intelligence to select an honest , upright , industrious , persevering ; anil practical man , thereby guarding the scheme against such vermin that have brought _disgrace on our order and Company . Let them , one and all , show to the powers that be , although they will not legislate to protect our small saving ' s , that we have found out a different savings bank to what our forefathers did—to make a rod for their own

      backs , thereby g iving them additional capital to crush the artisan and speculate in order to increase their incomes , or in case of failure , as in Rochdale and other places , to console ourselves with the loss . Have you forgot the dreadful cry in France of " 48 , f tho rig ht to live ? Are you going to let our brothers across the channel solve the question bf labour ' s rig hts without one single effort to f ree yourself ? Tbe struggle of our order on this side the channel has a powerful effect on the tyrants of all other nations . France is doing much by co-operation and stern perseverance , as has lately been proved by the terror displayed by the enemies of labour , and the acknowledgement that the proletarian cause is gaining ground . Let those , who havo more ability than myself , _pvopoimd their plan of winding up the Company ' s affairs , and the good sense ofthe majority will best judge that which will redeem themselves from bondage . I beg to subscribe myself , Reading . An Unwilling Slave .

      Brother SnAREnoiD-ens , ¦— Having seen -with sorrow that our noble benefactor has been driven to give notice for a bill to wind up the Land Company through tho ingratitude bf those whom he has studied to serve , I beg to offer ' my opinion to your consideration . Our enemies having , named thc argument as to the legalisation of the Company , on the last day of the term , showed their weakness , as they must . have known there , was not sufficient time tb hear the case . A little more patience on our part , and I trust that justice will be done . Give Mr . O'Connor your support , and he will yet conquer . Frustrate our enemies , by not allowing the Company to be wound up . What greater proof of the practicability of thc Land Plan is there than the native countryman who pays £ 18 per annum to Beattie for three acres of his land and no house , g iving six months rent in advance . I could name

      instances in the nei hbourhood , where £ 4 a year per acre is paid for inferior land and no house . I have laboured under great disadvantages , being nearly sixty years of ago , arid afflicted with bad legs for this last twenty years . I havo three children under fourteen years of age ; two of them boys , the eldest twelve years of age , At the age of four years ho was nearly burnt to death , and both his arms were contracted and 'disfigured ; he is now growing strai g ht aiid . improving'in health . These boys are my right hand / . My health is better than it has been this last twentv . yoars , and these are blessings which I have derived from the glorious Land Plan . To you 1 am grateful for the means given to our noble founder . I have every hope , and I trust that many more will speedily be placed on the land of freedom . I beg to _subferibe myself , . Yours gratefully , C . Willis , an Allottee . Charterville March 27 th .

      ' to the i _* DHon or the _nohtih-hn star . Sir , —Mr . Sherrington , in his address to tho Land Members in last week ' s . Star , is of opinion that a number of members would be found willing to give their paid-up shares to purchase an estate , for the purpose of testing and showing those who oppose the p lan that the scheme is no way Utopian . This may be very good , and may meet witb approval from many ; but , alas ! man is too selfish . In my opinion , Mr . Sherrington might have extended his views a little farther , which mi ght have attracted attention . Suppose he had made a calculation , and counted

      upon ten thousand members having every confidence in Mr . O'Connor and the Land Plan ; these members to engage to give-their paid-up shares to purchase an estate , and also to agree to make voluntary weekly payments ; according to their will and ability , the highest payers to receive their allotments first . These are my views : they are practicable , aiid were they acted upon and taken « p in good earnest , they would accomplish the great desire of that noble minded , and patriotic gentleman , Feargus O'Connor Esq . lam , _APilB-W _Shar _khchwr . _' Dunfermline , April 1 st .

      The Land Meimbers Of Norwich. To The Edi...

      THE LAND _MEiMBERS OF NORWICH . tO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTHERN STAR . Dkar Sin , —We , the undersigned , being member 3 of the Norwich branch of the land Company , beg Unit you will favour ns with a amall space in the Star to reply to a letter we have received from one of the Directors of the Land Company , in which letter is enclosed a part ofa letter from a Mr . Smith , of Otley , in Yorkshire , reflecting on a resolution that appeared in the Star of the 16 th ult ., and asking us by what authority wo presumed to set ourselves up ns a majority opposed to the Di _« rectors longer remaining ' in office . Now , we beg most respectfully to tell Mr . Smith , that we did not set ourselves upas tho maiority of the Company :

      what we did say was , that the majority of this branch were opposed to it ; of theother branches we only know from what we bave seen in the Star . We aro inclined to think that the Directors have received information from a party in : Norwich , respecting our meeting , and we beg to state tliat the meeting ' was open to all the members , * they had notice a week previous , and if the majority of the branch did not attend , it was not the fault ; of the conveners of . that meeting . We are inclined to think that it would have been more straightforward to have sent the letter of Mr . Smith for insertion in the Star , that ifc mi ght have stood on its OWli merits , instead of sending a part of it to our secretary ; but , as we wish to act openlv . we beer to

      say that at that meeting Mr . J . Hurry presided , and John Long moved , and _Jamea Townshend seconded " the resolution whieh has g iven so much offence . Why _^ we ask , is this isokted locality singled out as though this was the only place that had adopted such a resolution , when much stronger resolutions havebeen passed by other brandies , and no notice taken of them ? As for the sneer about certain parties that composed the meeting , we beg to say , that it is those certain parties—or the few as they are called—who have always carried on the movement in this locality . Did not the great bulkof the members of this branehmost shamefull y desert the cause ? ' Did they not engage a largo place to transact business in , when they thought all was going on as they could wish , and then leave the

      few who are now sneered-at , to pay all the expenses . ¦* * * * * * As a proof of what the few have done in this locality , they have sent , within the last few months , between six and seven pounds to the " Macnamara ' s Costs , " and the " Ilonesty Fund ; " yet this is the reward we have got , to he told that we are setting ourselves up as the majority of the Company , which we had no thought of doing ; we stated cur opinions in thc form of a resolution , and by that resolution we will stand , despite of all that any one may say respecting us . We beg to subscribe ourselves on behalf of the meeting at which ihe aforesaid resolution was passed , Jonathan Hurrt . John Lon g , James Townshend

I have thought it right , in this case , to inform you who tho plaintiff was ; he is one ofthose , who having received a good share of the Company ' s patronage , liko all others _similarily situated , seems to think he has just cause to _' complain ;• this very plaintiff was one of tbe waggoners ' employed by you for several months , and . yet , in courtj ' ' - had the lying audacity to say he scarcely _evervsawj . * ov spoke to you .

I wrote his & . a certificate of recommendation , and he obtainedemployment for some months at hig her wages tbat he had been in the habit of receiving , and now _vhis gratitude is abuse of Feargus O'Connor- But , very unfortunately for him , his attorney thought fit to subpoena me , to prove the connexion between him , as a member , and you as tho receive ** of his cash ; when after asking some few questions ,, to some of winch I had occasion to tell him I _oould not understand , as _theywere not pertinent to . the case , which drew upon him the laughter of his profession , when he sat down and said that was his case .

      The Judge told him he . did not understand it . He then turned to me , and said , " perhaps , Mr .
