      THE NORTHERN STAR SATURDAY , JULY 26 , 1846 .

      Russell, "The Times" And O'Connell. A Gr...

      RUSSELL , " THE TIMES" AND O'CONNELL . A great problem to be now solved by all classes is , whether such a coalition as that standing at the head of this article is either the promised fruits of the Reform Bill or the tribute due to the acknowledged improvements of the age . It was natural that the five years' electrifying policy of Sir Robert Peel should have so galvanized the public mind as to reconcile even adverse opinions to a temporary cessation of political differences for the purpose of

      testing some of the novelties of the great statesman . To tbis circumstance , and to it alone , can we ascribe the toleration accorded to the experiment of the new "Whig Premier . In this triple alliance Lord John Russell figures as a mere puppet , sustained by the Times and Mr . O'Connell , as we doubt much his power to preserve his ascendancy for a single week if deprived of the pliancy of the one , or the servility of the other .

      It was easy to reconcile the party who ousted Sir Robert Peel from office to a mere occupation Government , however distasteful , until their pique against their old leader had subsided ; but we doubt much that , upon reflection , even the Protectionists will rest satisfied under their present humiliation ; —a humiliation the most degrading to which any nation has ever been subjected—a humiliation that will not he tolerated even by the affrighted respect _, able classes upon the presumed necessity of

      subduing Chartism and checking democratic principles . If the proud Lords of England , who confessedly accepted Sir Robert Peel ' s commercial policy upon tbe plea tbat Her Majesty and the circumstances of the age required a strong Government , and if the p hantom of that which has now been enthroned upon their weakness had been fore-shadowed in the distance , we much doubt that the hereditary peers of England would have made so large a sacrifice to insure so humiliating and degrading an insult .

      The nation has not yet roused itself from that lethargy and surp rise into whicb it was thrown by the eviction of a minister boasting of Ids large majorities—the strength ofhis government—the countenance of his Sovereign—the confidence of tbe monied classes , and the respect of the industrious . We would ask , however , whether even the liberal constituencies of England , the parties who alone can eke even the semblance of a tr iumph out of Russell ' s position , are satisfied with being ruled by a finality minister , an Irish placehunter , and the salesman of a corrupt and venal newspaper . It is not two months since these worthies , now fraternized as

      a government , were ranged one against the other , in deadly hostility , riot a _meeting atConciliation Hall , where the villainy of the Timesand the treachery of the base , bloody , and brutal Whigs , did not furnish the Liberator with a stock for his trading speech . Not a number of the Times appeared that did not teem with denunciation of the Liberal landlord of Cahirciveen , and reflections upon the incompetency of the present Prime Minister , if called upon to succeed Sir Robert Peel . And yet , notwithstanding the fact of this recent disunion staring us in the face , we now find a perfect brotherhood established between those heretofore adverse elements , and society is

      told to rest satisfied with their sway . We know not how the country gentlemen may feel—how the liberals of England did feel—before Lord John Russell ' s new declaration of principles ; but we do know that the working classes will rise as one man , in the majesty of their moral power and hurl fbr ever this trinity of humbug , corruption , and treachery , from ofiice . We have thrice before been asked to give the Whigs a fair trial . We have seen tbem tottering and ignominiously hurled from ofiice , for relying upon the hired support of an Irish faction , rather than upon that party and those princip les hy which they had achieved power .

      And now we are asked to give our old enemies , our bitter andirreconcileable enemies , ANOTHER FAIR TRIAL . This is the question which we are called upon to solve , and upon which tbe country will Shortly be tested - , and although our broad sheet receives no favor at the hands of authority , although it is not to be found upon the table of the Club House or the tavern , althoug h it is not patronised by { lie upper and middle classes , we yet unhesitatingly state that it is the dial that governs the millions * , it expresses tbe sentiments , which at a general election can overthrow the preparations of the Times , the hopes of the Whigs , and the anticipation ofthe Irish place-hunters .

      Our policy then is to snap and break up every Whig government professing other principles than those propounded by the reformers , and relied upon by the Whigs . Our policy is to repudiate all connection with the Irish placehunters ,, who bave created a prejudice , under false pretences , against the English Chartists , and whose chief value to the Whigs is their professed opposition and hostility to Chartism . The coalition attempted to he formed by Lord John Russell ,

      with the most able of the Tory party , can leave no doubt upon our mind as to the lengths to wliich the Whig Minister is prepared to go , rather than make those TIMELY and PRUDENT CONCESSIONS so prominently set forth in his Edinburgh epistle . Russell ' s invitation to Lord Dalhousie , the Earl of Lincoln , and Sidney Herbert , three supporters of the Irish Coercion Bill , will be a ready hustings ? answer to the Liberal scouts who shall henceforth cbarge Chartists with a preference for Tory over

      "Whig candidates . The cry of " Tory Chartists" must now cease for ever . Cobden saved Peel from eviction , and Russell appealed to three Tories to sustain him in power . We shall , henceforth , therefore , turn a deaf ear to the ravings ot the Liberator , the revilings of - ' Old Bloody , " and the taunts of the liberal scouts ; and when the next opportunity presents itself , regardless of slander or vituperation , we shall be found marshalled in battle array , and dire hostility , against the English renegade Premier , the Irish place-hunter and betrayer of bis couutry , and the bloody old Times . Neither shall we be nice , or over

      scrupulous as to the weapons used in action—we shall take up JANISSARY , or PROTECTIONIST , or whatever cudgel comes nearest to hand , to aid us in the warfare against the " base , bloody , and brutal Whigs —the betrayers of their principles , the murderers of Holberry , Duffy , and Clayton ; the transp orlers of Frost , Williams , and Jones , and the Dorchester Labourers ; the coercers of Ireland , and the starvcrs of the English people . And it matters but little , whether the cry is Cheap Sugar , though we like it ; Cheap Timber , though we want it ; or Cheap Bread , though those who grow it will shortl y be unable to buy it .

      The League took a leaf out of our book , when tbey adopted the motto , " One thing at a time " we can accommodate ourselves to the same rule , and , without neg lecting the Land or the Charter , direct our

      Russell, "The Times" And O'Connell. A Gr...

      immediate energies to the overthrow of the enemies of both , and our motto is— "The Charter and No Surrender , " and , when the struggle begins , our cry will be " Down with the Whigs , " whether succeeded by Tories , Conservatives , Janissaries , or Protectionists . Where we can't secure a Chartist , we will endeavour to beat a Whig .

      Duncombe. We Feel Assured That Every Tru...

      DUNCOMBE . We feel assured that every true-born Englishman , every honest Irishman , every independent Scotchman , and all who are subject to British rule , must have read Duncombe's speech of Thursday , the 16 th instant , with surpassing pride . The occupation Ministry had , no doubt , presumed upon the support of a venal and corrupt press , which , as if by compact , all rallied to the aid of the finality Minister , while the little gentleman himself and his Irish Janissaries had calculated upon sufficient repose and

      Chartist non-interference , to allow him to mould his cabinet to the existing necessities of middle-class money-mongers . Duncombe , however , bas drawn him from that calm retreat in which he hoped to shelter himself from public scrutiny , and from the confessions , the degrading and humiliating confessions , wrung from the Free Trade Minister who promised us those PRUDENT CONCESSIONS due to popular requirement , will any honest man say that we were hasty , intemperate , or premature in having drawn the sword against this unholy coalition of Whig treachery , newspaper venality , and Irish delinquency .

      We were the first to announce the adherence of the Times newspaper to the policy of Lord John Russell , nor can we forget the withering effect pror duccd upon Sir John Cam Hobhouse at the disclosure of Russell ' s invitation to the three juvenile Tory statesmen of which he begged a loan from Sir Robert Peel . Who that saw Lord John Russell bid for popular support—who that read his celebrated letter , declaring the necessity of PRUDENT

      CONCESSIONS being made to growing opinion , could bave been prepared for that declaration of finality policy wrung from him by the hon . member for Finsbury . It was not a sufficient answer to Mr . Duncombe ' s question that he would resist the five points of the Charter , as reminded by Mr . Duncombe , that was foreign to his question . The question was not whether he would aid in carrying the Charter , hut how far he would extend the suffrage beyond its present inconvenient limits .

      No doubt , had the finality Lord anticipated a general election , he would have taken care , whatever thc realization might have been , to have provided himself with a good and sufficient CRY—such a CRY as would have hampered the movement party—such a CRY as might have enabled bis Irish coadjutor to denounce " the English Chartists as foes to Ireland and enemies to progression . We cave but Uttle , as to the question upon which the present Administration shall be destroyed ; whether it shall be upon Sugar , or Murder in the Army—upon Timber , or the Irish Church—upon Confidence , orN o Confidencewith whatever parliamentary character they next come hefore the country , they will be met by the registered _j-rinciples , by the damning stand-still , or retrogade policy of the finality Prime Minister .

      However he may have anticipated a sufficient calm to insure the harmonious moulding of those incongruous elements of which his motley Cabinet is composed , he has roused a feeling in every British heart inimical to the insulting sway of a hired Newspaper , a place-hunting Patricide , and a Malthusian clique . That repose , upon which the noble Lord so firmly built , could not be securely based upon temporary dislike to Sir Robert Peel . The government

      of that great statesman , though shattered for a time , will be rallied by the pressure from witliout . There are Tories , as well as Whigs , Janissaries and Protectionists , as well as Free Traders , who are jealous of patronage , and feel insulted by Whig dominion . And with none of these parties will the Working Classes unite , for any other purpose than that of the destruction of the most cold-blooded Malthusian middle-class Government that ever attempted to blight the hope of industry .

      In Ireland , the enemies of progression have trumped up the old phantom , not of physical force , but of passive obedience and non-resistance , as the rallying cry of the place hunters . We have read the declaration of Mr . Smith O'Brien at Kilrush , SO much repudiated b y the old women of Conciliation Hall ; we have read the allegories of the YOUN G GENTLEMEN about physical force and we defy the most maudling or fastidious old woman to ascribe to them any desire , or auy inclination , to resort to other than moral and peaceable means for

      the accomplishment of their object . But how nice and hypercritical the senses of the patriots , who plead Ireland ' s cause against the Saxon oppression , must be , when they see fire in warm expression , and daggers in the pourtrayal of wrong . If that harmony , considered so essential for the accomplishment ofthe Repeal , shall be destroyed by this hypercritical distinction between moral and physical force , between hard and soft words , between submission , loyalty , and just resistance to oppression , then the crime of disunion will be justly chargeable upon the hypercritical Liberator ; and bis fastidious moral force old

      women . No doubt can exist , that Russell looked to Irish subserviency as the mainstay of his Cabinet ; while , notwithstanding the fearful odds of patronage and despotism against the aspiring hope of liberty , wc yet calculate upon the triumph of Irish principle over patronage and Saxon misrule . O'Connell will endeavour to govern by those pr iests who have long followed in his train , and who have preferred following

      him m error to turning him from his wayward path . But there is yet some Milesian blood running in the veins of the young priesthood of Ireland , and they whose fatherland was despoiled b y the fire and the sword of the usurper , whose estates where confiscated to the physical force conqueror , will neither blush nor tremble at the presumption of liberating their country , and regaining their lost rights , by the sanie means by which they were transferred to a foreign foe .

      Again , we ask , why all the blarney about Irish s trength , Irish valour , and Irish love of country , if two-fisted Irishmen are taught to shudder at the bare mention of resisting tyranny by force , and regaining their rights by the same means b y whicli they were robbed of them . It is impossible to witness the sale of Dungarvan to an _anti-repealer and a Whig placeman , and the sale of Dundalk to a Whig official , without coming to the conclusion thai Ireland ' s battle must be fought upon English ground , from wliich despotism and reli gious

      prejudice have been banished . All difference has now _ceassd to exist between Whigs and Tories , Freetraders and Monopolists , the ground is now cleared of those political distinctions which made Chartists tremble at the charge of being allied to the one or to the other . '' A fellow-feeling makresus wondrous kind , " and mayhap the English landlords , now stripped of THEIR privileges , may assist the working classes m regaining THEIRS ; and therefore , whatever may be the , result , our CRY upon thc next general election shall be—a CHARTIST IF WE CAN , and no Whig if we cannot .

      We must erase the odious name of Whi g from memory altogether , and trample for ever upon thc base , brutal , and bloody coalition of newspaper venality , Whig delinquency , and Irish profligacy . Our cry is—Down with the Whigs J

      Parliamentary Review. The New Premier Ha...

      bined forces of the West Indian and Protection _^ parties . The general impression is , that his plan is likely to he lost , so that he will be forced to a Dissolution immediately . Perhaps this is his object , in introducing the question at the fag-end of a session which has been distinguished for its eventful and laborious character . He needs " a cry , " and something definitive to go to the country upon ; and as he has neither the political honesty , nor courage , to face any ofthe great Questions , in ofiice , which he supported when out of it , he must be anxious to secure the support ofthe shopkeep ing and trading classes , by the proposition of a measure , which , at all events , squares with their notions . As to the p lan itself , it seems a fair and judicious settlement of a question of considerable importance . Borrowing a leaf from ' -Peel ' s" book , Lord John proposes a diminishing scale of duties on foreign , free , and slave Sugars , for five years * , when the same Duty as that now levied on British Colonial , f 14 s . per cwt . ) will be levied on all Sugars , indiscriminately . His Lordship intimated , that further reductions might then be made ; but that would depend on the state of the revenue at the termination of that period . The existing prohibitory duty of 63 s . a cwt . on slave grown sugars , is immediately to be abolished , and the starting point for all foreign sugars is 21 s .

      Of course , Exeter Hall will be in agonies at this proposal , and the proprietors of West India estates will find in the foolish , but sincere , _anU-nlavery party , capital allies . The cry raised against the importation of slave grown sugar , b y tbat crotebetty and impracticable party , may be respected in their case on account of its earnestness , but when raised by those , who , while they were slave-owners themselves , opposed to the utmost the efforts for emancipation , it can only be scouted as a piece of transparent and shabby hypocrisy .

      Thc cry itself is on every ground untenable . If the principle that we are not to use slave grown produce is to be carried out , why not appl y It to slave grown cotton , tobacco , and many other articles whicli enter largely into general consumption . If it be wrong to sweeten your tea or coffee with sugar raised by slave labour , it must be equally wrong to wear a shirt or smoke a pipe coming from the same

      source . The Protectionist patty , however , in renewing the fight on this ground , shows the sincerity of their belief in tbe principles of protection itself . The Free Trade party asserted that when the landlords' monopoly in Corn was abolished , they would join in knocking down all other monopolies ; ou the first opportunity which has been afforded them , ihey have falsified these predictions . They adhere to their principles . On the other hand , the free traders seem to be not particularly sanguine about the results of their long fought battle . It is quite wonderful to see the

      abatement which has taken place in tbe triumphant and glowing promises of the blessings which were to follow the abolition of the Corn Laws . These blessings are growing " small by degrees and beautifully less" as we approach the time when they should be realised , and we fear on closer proximity , they will vanish entirely like a dissolving view . In the factory districts the masters _hava caused their hands to make holiday , in order to rejoice over the " great victory ; " but tbe work people who had tlieir wages docked on that account by their free booting employers would , we dare say , have rather been without tbe " play . ''

      The horrible and revolting case of murder perpetrated by the lash on a private of the 7 th Hussars , was the subject of a question in the Commons on Monday night , That solemn and sleek saint , Fox Maule , tried to explain away the damning fact , and attributed the deatli of tlie soldier to natural causes , instead of the brutal and monstrous flogging to which he had been subjected . With a callousness and an impudence which only a'Whig official could exhibit , he assured the Ilouse that " . the punishment of the man had nothing to do with his deatli , " and having adduced the authoritv of the

      parties implicated in this murder for that assertion , he proceeded forthwith to rebuke with pertness the conductors of the press for their ignorance and their exaggeration . How far these qualities ave aseribable to himself , and not to the press , our readers will judge after referring to the blood-curdling accoun in another column , of the beastly cruelties of which the murdered man was the victim . On the same evening , the punishment of flogging in the navy wa discussed , and we bad again tbe spectacle of Whigs defending in oflice practices which they denounced out of it .

      The abominable practice of flogging in both the army and navy is one of the disgraceful indications now left among us of the iron rule of the aristocratical classes . It is a ' standing memento of the subjection of the working section of society to the tyranny and cruelty ofthe few . It is vain to boast of liberty or enlightenment while sueh revolting and horrible barbarities are cooll y perpetrated amongst us . Wc say coolly , for though thev made some of the

      private soldiers who witnessed them faint and fal down , the same witness tells us " none of the officers fainted like the men . '" They are amateurs who delight in such spectacles , and have no dread of the cat being applied to their own backs . Shame on the Legislature and the people whicli allows its soldiers and its sailors to he treated worse than they are in other nations confessedly behind us in political freedom .

      The other topics in Parliament have heen of little interest . On Tuesday ni ght , Lord John permitted another " Count out , " in order to avoid facing a motion of Mr . Duncombe . This , in conjunction with the damaging exhibition of the previous Friday , betokens that the Ministry is in a most ricketty condition . Its chief speaks and acts as though it was under the deep conviction that his official career is to be a short one , and that he and his _co-incapables will be shortly relieved from the responsibilities of power .

      To that end the exposition forced from them , hy the indomitable courage and manly frankness of the People's Champion , will mainly conduce . If , hy opening the eyes of the conntry to the hollow truckling and time-serving nature of the new Ministry , Mr . Duncombe does succeed in driving so shabby a set 6 f pretenders from power , it will add one more important benefit to the long list , for which his fellow countrymen have to thank hira .

      The Above Account Does Not Include About...

      The above account does not include about £ 8 C paid by me , and for whicli I have receipts ; nor does it include the cumbrous quantity of postage stamps which I have received for a year and a quarter , and ill of which I still possess ; nor does it include monies paid into the several banks , and not yet drawn ) ut * nor does it include post-office orders , wbicn I lave had for several mouths , and know not yet to whom they are made payable ; but it does include ill the monies received by me up to Saturday last , ind all of which will appear paid into the bank , to She Treasurer ' s account , according to the dates standing opposite each amount . You will observe , tliat the last lodgment -was made on Saturday last , before this week ' s subscriptions bad been paid . Now , then , let Mr . Cooper and his friends put that in their pipe and smoke it . This is not the revision af humbugged auditors—this is the attestation of the Joint Stock Bank Company ' s Ledger . Still I have a ; ood deal of trouble wilh the post-office orders _. as some ecretaries continue to have tbem payable io Mr . iVheeler , Mr . Roberts , and myself . Now , what I equest is , that ALL post-office _orders , whether sent o Mr . Wheeler or to me , may be made payable to ie , at the LONDON OFFICE , St . _MARTIN'S-LEillAND , and then 1 shall be able to * turn them ito cash and bank them at once .

      Now , my friends-memberg of the Chartist Cooperative Land Association—w hen did you ever see an account of so many thousand pounds accounted for without a large column for " sundries'" It _w-ould be useless to tell you of the money I am out of pocket , in one shape or other , by . one means or another , but it is my glory and pride to be able to furnish all who dabble in the people ' s money with a plain , straightforward account , and for every farthing of the expenditure of which there are receipts .

Pust-Office Orders . —Some weeks ago I received an order for 5 s . for Mr . Frost , from Lumberhead Green through a mistake at the Wigan post-office , cash for the order was refused in London , Previous to presenting the order for the money I had paid the 5 s ., with other monies , to Mr . Rogers , but up to this time I have not received the cash from the London office . Besides being the money out of pocket nij self , and others have been put to no little trouble in writing letters nnd running to the General post-office , ( some miles from the Star ofiice . ) Last week I received _i _* io post-office orders for £ 3 each , for Mr . Frost , from A » litnn _. under . L ync—money for both these orders has been refused because my name , as received at the post office , is not exactl y as I write it . On Thursday , I received an order for 15 s . for Mr . Frost , from Queenshead _, made payable at the "London" office—meaning St . Martin ' s-le-Grandabove two miles from the Star office , notwithstanding that I hare several times _requested that all orders ( [ should be made _payable at Piccadilly . George _Jchan Harney . Veteran Patriots Fond , ic—I must again intimate _@ tbat so much is my time occupied , that it is impossible for me to receive subscriptions for this fund . The committees should meet without delay and appoint _somo pei > -on in whom the country has _confidtnee tcreceire the monies . Mr . Shaw or Mr . Skeltoii can have the 10 s . 3 d . from Brighton by applying at thc Star ollice . —G . J . II . fM ~ I thank my friends for their confidence ,-proved by entrusting me with the monies for Mr .
