      THE NORTHERN STAR SATURDAY , JUNE 26 . 1847 .

      The House And The People. The Time Is No...

      THE HOUSE AND THE PEOPLE . The time is now coming to make a stand against Monopol y and " Finality John . " The Whigs are afraid to dissolve Parliament—thev are equally afraid to let it die a natural death * _, they are unpopular now—they fear to become mors so—the latter alternative is scarcely possible . The "Whi gs have earned a notoriety of infamy ; they have cri ppled Reform , hy contaminating it with their advocacy ; tbey have pretended to take up the cause ofthe people , whenever thev saw reason

      to believe it was getting into honest bauds ; they have quarrelled with their old allies , the Tories , but the country has not gained by the quarrel . Like two hostile armies making their battle-field in a strange country , they have ravaged with tbeir contentions the patrimony of England ; they have preyed upon their mutual enemy—Democracy . Their " ins" and " outs" have been like two alternate buckets going to the well of the people ' s labour—when the one was out , the other was sure to be in , draining it of its wealth . The time is now at hand to break the

      balance of tlieir power , not hy giving either a fatal preponderance , but by supplanting both by THE CHARTER . What we have to expect from Whigs has been taught us by Ihe juggle of the Reform Bill ; by their conduct relative to the repeal of the Ratepaying Clauses ; by their New Poor Law Amendment Act ; by their Irish Famine ; by their treachery to the English , inscribed in bloody characters along the manufacturing North ; by their sordid money-grasping policy in advocating mock-restrictions , grourd down the earnings of the poor beneath

      the golden grasp of the monopolist ; by their true *** ling to O ' Connell , while they were murdering his countrymen ; by their showering gold on the landlords , while they were employing troops lo take the food from tbeir dying tenantry ; by their cringing to a Bright and Cobden , while they were offering office to their Tory opponents ; by their treachery to Poland , and tlieir sycophancy to the sanguinary-Tsar ; by their indifference for Mexico , and their slaughter of the Portuguese ; by tbeir pretending friendship with the people , while they were abetting

      the cause of tyranny ; by their holding wiih the hare , and yet running with the hounds . Under their recent misgovernment half a million of Irish have perished ; trade bas stagnated ; agriculture has languished ; the Bastiles cannot hold all the poor , while the palaces parade in unaccustomed splendour . And now they come before us with mock concessions on their oily lips — promising largely sgainst the day of Election—with their secret-service money , and their" high wages " and their " low bread , " and tbeir " foreign trade" and

      their home distress . With their Bishops thanksgiving for slaughter—and their accusations of Divine Providence for famine—they come , asking the people once sore to give them a septennial lease of power . And , on the other hand , the Tories are asking tho country to give them the lions' leavings . They advance under the banner of feudalism and Bentinck , who - vainly "hopes that he will yet be _Allowed to walk over the course . These parties -form but the doable-face of tyranny : a political Janus , witb his Whig aspect and his Tory aspect . Against them a double interest is arising rapidly the interest of civil and religious liberty . Espoused

      by two great parties in the couutry , who , united , are capable of _subverting monopoly , these parties have held aloof from each other—indulging in mutual recriminations and suspicions . They do not meet in their political _vietra , but they have that in common , that they desire to subvert some of the same _monopolies ; and the political opinions of the one do not _clatii with the religious bias of the other . li is clearly more to the _interest of the Dissenters to Assist in returning a Chartist candidate , than either a Whig or : t Tory ; since , besides the members of iheir own body , none hut a . Chartist is prepared to _subvert the _Church monopoly , that makes the conscience of tlie Dissenter a taxable

      commodity . We have alluded to this phase of politics inasmuch as we believe re % ious and political liberty to be intimately anited ; but , if the duty of theNonconformist is plain , no _lesspkfD is that of Ihe Chartist . Itis an old adage , tbat a _prided house ean never stand . The divisions amongst our opponents are bringing them to the brink of ruin . We shall defay their fall and our _emancipation , if we side with either . In th . it case , any check received by the party we embrace wt _" _** _* ld

      be a check to o urselves , while a victory gained _wou- _'d strengthen the faction we had aided , without assisting us in the obtainment of liberty . Our inteiest , therefore , clearly is to STAND UP FOR OURSELVES . It was not b y being the weathercock of party that the Tory or the Whi g rose into power ; it is not by voting for one of these that we shall gain a Chartist Parliament . What can bt clearer than the course to pursue ? it is to form the nucleus of a party in tho House of Commons . A few men will do it ; they will rally others ; a Chartist

      The House And The People. The Time Is No...

      bench will d jsturb the balance of factions—once established ou- _sucb la ' -footing , the minority _'Jjvill increase to a majority that will be enabled'to enact the Char' iet M _ti , e ] aw 0 f thejahd . *' _Bitt to effect this , the _ beginning must be made-- _* and < to make it , the po < rer is already there . "Nottingfham , Halifax , Norw * <•_ ., Derby , and several other _iplaces are doing their . , fluty nobly—but . the country 'mast assist them . Th are are so many battle fields—tJae country must se _fld iti its contingent supplies . Not only these ¦ jlaces , but the whole working-okss community are

      _vitally interested in the result . Every Chartist member represents the interests of all . And it is not wily this effort , and another seven years' pause No ! Their representatives once in the House , the power of the Chartist body wall grow ten-fold . The Press mast give publicity to their principles ; the Whig and Tory leaders will * ave to meet us face to ¦ face , they can no longer-deal their secret Mowsthey can no longer stab _*¦« the dark—nor will the Chartist members have io struggle unaided against a-combined house—there will be the pressure from

      without , which they will marshal on . While they are perplexing the councils of the enemy in the very -camp , they will be beckoning on the phalanxes of progression from without ; and beneath the united assault the enemy must sink in the dust . Onward then i Now 'is the time ! But the opportunity will be lost , unless the people go undivided for the Charter—the whole Charter—and nothing but the Charter . Compromise is ruin— " expediency" is treachery . " The Charter and No Surrender" is the cry ! The watchword is , "NOW OR NEVERNOW AND FOREVER . ' "

      The Irish Confederates. • The Patriotism...

      THE IRISH CONFEDERATES . The patriotism of the Irish has stood many a test , but it lias ever shone the brighter ; they have had their country trodden under foot—their rights outraged ; they have heen decimated over the four quarters of the globe ; they have fought for foreign countries as soldiers and sailors ; they have lingered in foreign climes as emigrants , but true as the magnet , their hearts have turned to home ; they have longed for old Ireland in their days of adversity , they

      have not forgotten her in the hour of prosperity . Thus we find the co-patrioted Irish in the United States contributing more munificently from their hard earnings than tbe Irish landlords . Thus we find the Irish Confederates in London still struggling for tbeir country—not like the alien aristocracy , lost amid the glittering vortex of Saxon life ; not forswearing tlieir land and their name under Saxon titles ; but true men' '—brave men—who ventured to hold up their heads , _though liberty is silenced around them—who vindicate the noble character of

      their countrymen , despite the calumnies of Whig legislators , and the libelling lives of absentee landlords ; men who will do more to cement a union between the working-classfis of England and Ireland , and procure a repeal of the legislative union , established by the oppressors of either , than the mockphilanthroputs , whose utmost kindness has been to extend the scourge of an English Poor Law to a plundered nation . We trust to see the time when there will be ' Ireland for the Irish , " and " England for the English "—not only in a national , but in a

      social sense ; for little do the . English PEOPLE own of England . They are but the slaves of landlords , factory-lords , and slock-jobbers — the conquerors of the nineteenth century . The Irish Confederates are doing much to break down the fatal and absurd prejudices which have estranged the working classes of either country , and to reveal to thera their true interests . These are the pioneers in the cause of Repeal , who now manfully hold up their hands for the great cause . They felt their country degraded , the voice of freedom stifled under the old

      dynasty—yet they despaired not ; and now that the horizon is brightening with bope , we find tbem , like gallant veterans , at their post—witb a storm-beaten , but an unspotted front . Surely our English lire _, tbren will join in the holy cause ; surely association with such men will tend to elevate both parties ; surely political consistency like this , now that it is directed to a great practical object , must meet its reward in success . Now , we ask whether the Saxon repudiates association with the Irish Confederates , when they are truly

      honest , national IRISH—when they aie seekers of liberty and not followers of sycophancy ? We fee ) it needed but this to unite the people of either country , not in a LEGISLATIVE union , but in sympathy ; not in famine and chains , but in rallying for the cause of freedom . It has " been said " when the monarchs of France and England are united , they can enslave the world . " We may truly parody this by saying — " When the working men of England and Ireland are united , monopoly must fall ! '' It has been the game of the mutual

      enemy to screen from each the good qualities 0 either—to prejudice their minds against each _others and though they yearned to unite , to sever them despite of reason . The CONFEDERATES are hreaking down these barriers—they are withdrawing the veil of prejudice ; we call on our English friends to march by tbeir side , shoulder to shoulder , and to them we say : " Go on and prosper ! " The sympathies of England shall be wiih yout and we will join yeu in the mutual cry : " The people shall have their own , and DOWN WITH THE LEGISLATIVE MONOPOLY !"

      Parliamentary Review. The Sooner " My Lo...

      PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW . The sooner " My Lords and Gentlemen" are dismissed by the Queen from attendance on their legislative duties , the belter will it he for their legislative characters , and the less damaging to the official reputation of the ministry . If there be any more " supplies" to be voted , or " ways and means" to be considered , let that be done at oiice , and the curtain fall upon proceedings which would be farcical , were they not so dull that they foil to excite any kind of

      laughter , except that of contempt . No doubt there is important and pressing business requiring immediate settlement , but there are " difficulties" in the way , and for that to be the case is tantamount , in the present ministry , to its not being done . Real statesmanship consists in the discovery of the means to surmount" difficulties . " The genius of Lord J . Russell and his Cabinet lies in their discovering the " difficulties" only to succumb to them . Scarcely a single measure of importance introduced by thera during the session has not been either entirely

      withdrawn , or so seriously mutilated as to be made useless , in _consequence of tlieir nervous fear of encountering difficulties . " Looking back to their whole career , it seems to be one continued exposition of " difficulties , " _ostentatiously paraded as an excuse for the nonperformance of every promise , direct or indirect , which they gave on taking office . One of the most prominent of these pledges was thorough Sanitary Reform . A bill having that object in view ,. was brought in hy Lord Morpeth at an early period of the Session , and supported by him in a most

      eloquent speech , expository at once of the appalling extent of the evils which required a remedy , and of the nature of the remedy he proposed to apply . We must do the Whigs the justice to say , that m that occasion they did depart from the iedd . S « huckstering style of policy , and for once in heir Ii . , e 8 propose a broad general measure , in some legree co mmensurate with the objects in view . To he merit 0 / originality they have no claim , because hey found in _*' ° _® ce ° _^ ' Woods and Forests a ill similar iu _Sv " _- ° P ° am intention , which had been irepared by the _lW ministry but they did propose a

The conservators oi social abuses , the municipal and parochial guardians of ' filth , stench , and death-dealing pestilence . " took alarm at the provisions of a bill which threatened to extinguish their local importance , and _iartroduce a strict inquirvinto the best means of promoting public

      health , as well as create the requisite machinery for effecting that object . We do not mean to say that that machinery was _unexceptionable—we believe that in many respects it was most objectionable , and in nothing more so than that it proposed the election of the . commissioners for li fe , a system which , wherever it has been practised , has been found to be destructive of all improvement ,

      and obstructive of til progress . Into commissions thus formed it is utterly impossible to infuse fresh blood , or to make them inarch with the wants and wishes of the peop le . There was also another objectionable point in the constitution of the new commissions , namely , the mixture of elective members appointed-by the ratepayers , and ex-ojfipio members appointed by the Crown . The true mode of getting work well done in each locality is , to intrust it to those locally interested in the matter . Throw upon them the responsibility of doing itmake them strictly accountable for the

      non-fulfilment of their duty , and provide the means o ' enforcing it when they fail . These objects mig ht have been effected in the passage of Lord Morpeth ' s Bill through committee , but it was no sooner proposed , as we have said , than that amiable but chicken-hearted Reformer took alarm at the hostile attitude of the Corporation of the City of London , and consented to drop the city from the hill . The

      parochial authorities of Marylebone next raised a din about his ears , and they , too , were successful . District after ilisirict of the metropolis was , in succession , omitted ; and , at last , we have amere apology—a skeleton of the original measure before Parliament , which only meddles with the " small fry , ' ' leaving the mammoth towns—the real abodes of " filth , stench , and death-dealing pestilence " is almost untouched . It is even doubtful tbat this

      miserable remnant of the original Health of Towns Bill will pass this session ; andit would be better that it should not : it is full of imperfections and errors in its machinery , which there is no chance now of calmly considering and amending . The exclusion of the whole of the metropolis from its provisions , on the pretence that London-is sufficiently important to have a special bill for itself , is equivalent to an intimation that " filth , stench , and deathdealing pestilence , " shall continue to mow down their annual armv of victims , unchecked in London

      If the metropolis had continued to be included in the bill the country would have aided tbe Ministry against its corporate and parochial opponents ; but if once they are specially excluded , and have to be dealt with by a separate bill , the whole proceeding- ) will be of an iuvidious description . The Ministry will have to embark in a direct personal war with the metropolitan anthorities—all the usual means of influencing votes will be resorted to by those authorities , and the great object in view will most _pro-, baldy be either entirely defeated , or indefinitely

      postponed . Ministers have no excuse whatever for taking this course , either by the facts of the case or their own position with reference to Parliament . The returns of the Registrar-General show that London , instead of being ( as was generally supposed ) rather healthy , has a very high average mortality ; and in ihe debate on the second reading , almost every member who spoke condemned the exclusion ofthe metropolis from the provisions of the bill . It was

      quite clear that had the Ministry not truckled to the local authorities , Parliament was prepared to have passed a sweeping measure . But the base spirit ot subserviency and compromise , even in matters ol the highest public importance , is too deeply engrained in the present occupants of office to permit the hope of any real reforms being effected ; so ' long as they are permitted to cumber the Treasury benches .

      Another Curious Illustration Of The Faci...

      Another curious illustration of the facility with which the Cabinet yields to difficulties , was afforded by the abandonment of the bill for the Better Management of Railways . The curiosity did not consist in the abandonment—that is common enough _, but in the manner in which it was abandoned . Mr Strutt , tbe Railway Commissioner , for two mortal hours addressed a crowded house in explanation ol the changes made in the bill since it was fust introduced , showed the necessity of the bill , the importance of the bill , the reasonableness of the bill ,

      and all the other virtues of the bill , and then concluded by announcing that ( query therefore ?) the Government did . not intend to go ou with it , and that he would move—not the second reading of the bill , but that " the order be discharged J" It was no wonder that an irrepressible shout of deiisive laughter arose from all parts of the house at such a lame and _most impotent conclusion to a laboured speech , in which tbe orator successfully kept his secret to himself , and most completely deceived the bouse into the belief that he intended to go on

      with the bill , until the very moment that he made the announcement to the contrary . But 110 one who knew anything of Whig human nature could be surprised at the actual result . Seven railway potentates , with King Hudson at their head , had declared war against the measure—that was a " difficulty . " We all know now what Whi g ministers do in a « ' difficulty . " As was tersel y , if not elegantly , said in the house the other night , they " cut their stick . " To other hearts and hands must be left the task of grappling with that gigantic monopoly , which is now entrusted with almost uncontrolled

      sway , over tlie lives and properties of the people of Great Britain . One peculiarity of this proceeding may also be noted . Ministers press for morning sittings , and profess to be most anxious to get through the business . Mr Strutt ' s speecii on a bill which it was not intended to proceed with occupied _, in reality all the sitting on Monday night—a Government night—so far as public business was concerned . The house rose immediately afterwards , and one night was thus wantonly thrown away .

      Members Seem To Be As Anxious To Avoid W...

      Members seem to be as anxious to avoid work as the Cabinet . With the exception of a renewal ot the personal squabble between Mr Christie and Mr Villiers , as to the conduct of the farmer ia tUe Andover Union Committee , nothing was done on Tuesday night which is a members' night . Mr Muntz's motion on copper duties was cushionedand the house , at half-past seven , was counted out on Mr Scrope ' s important motion with reference to the propriety of making the waste lands of Ireland available as a means of immediate employment and future maintenance of the people of that country .

      The . house and the ministry , seeing the lamentable failure of their legislation for Ireland this session , perhaps wisely let the matter drop . Whoever may be reserved for the great and glorious work of regenerating that country , and constructing out of her fertile soil , mines , fisheries , and other resources , a prosperous , rich , and happy nation—it is evident the task is not for them . They have blundered enormously in every step they have taken , and in the face of ten millions uselessly squandered , and a population decimated by hunger and disease , it is better tbat tliey have the modesty to let tlie evil alone , which they , at least , cannot mend .

      One subject incidentally involving a question once considered of some importance , came before the Peers this week—the bill for the creation of four new bishops without giving them seats in the Peers , except under certain contingencies . There was a time whea the total exclusion of tbe bishop * from

      One Subject Incidentally Involving A Que...

      Hie House "" of Lords was a popular question , and truly their general conduct there has . by no means ten ded to raise them in popular estimation , as promoters of public liberty . They have much more frequently obstructed than aided the people in their struggles for improvement . Latterly , however , they have accommodated themselves a little better to the spirit of the times ; and the conduct or the bench generally , with reterence to the Ten Hours ' Bill , was mon creditable . The new bill introduced the thin end of a wedge , however , which , when driven home , is calculated to make an immense

      change in the political position of the bishops . With the exception of the diocesans of Canterbury , York , London , and . Durham , none of the bishops will have a certain right to seats ; the oth-rs will be called according to seniority , and two junior bishops will always be excluded until vacancies occur . When the country finds that bishops without seats in tbe House are quite as good bishops as those who have them , it will perhaps come to the conclusion , that it would he as well to make them all alike , and exclude . the spiritual peers altogether !

      Tlie Law of Settlement wns the subject of a debate and division on Wednesday , in wbich the " country party , " led by Mr Bankes , pressed the Ministry so hard , that they only escaped defeat by the narrow majority of three . The subject is a complicated one , and tbe existing law is by no means satisfactory . Ministers have , however , succeeded in staving off the question , in common with all other important matters , " until next Parliament . " A week or two more will see ihe death of the present .

      Thursday Was The First Night This Week O...

      Thursday was the first night this week ofreal hard work . The Poor-Law Administration Bill gave rise to protracted discussion , in which the opponents of the New Poor-Law exhibited their usual energy and earnestness , and Mr Roebuck more than his usual waspishness , in its defence . Minister , however , sustained an actual defeat , and that by so unimportant a personage as Mr Peter Borthwick ! In future , aged couples above 60 years of age are not to be separated from each other in the Union Workhouses . Lord John was willing to give way to the extent ,

      that guardians might have the option of permitting aged couples to live together ; hut Mr Borthwick stuck to his point , and the House had so little faith in the humane discretion of boards of guardians , that it sided with him , and defeated the _Malthusian . * . There is evidently a great change in popular opinion on this subject ; and this division and defeat is merely an inc'ication of still greater alterations in tiie spirit of our laws affecting the Poor , and their treatment , when unfortunate enough to be compelled to huve recourse to public charity .

It is our opinion tlv . it the property ought to revert to the directors to be disposed of tor s . imi *' lenevolent or worthy purpose , aecan-ding as their discretion iimy guide tlicm ; however , these are matters for your after consideration . Many localities aud private _individuals have done their duty nobly . ! but move , many more , in which zealous , sterling democrats reside , have not as yet responded to the various culls we have made ! . ' To such we say , there is yet time ; it is not yet too late ; much may yet be done ! The victims may yet , by a little exertion , be _ylaaceal iu un independent and comfortable position . Then , let

      every man , who professes to be imbued with Chartist principles , set himself to the good work at once ! Let us eradicate the stain-tile _disgraceful stain which our former criminal neglect of the victims lias fastened upon us ! We earnestly anticipate the time is nut tar distant when the pi . litical exile ' s will be restored to the bosom of their families in their native ' ami ! . ' Are tlie helpless _olf-ipi-iiia-s ait' the noble-minded expatriated Ellis to be neglected ? Forbid it , Chartists ! Your united efforts can prevent it . An opportunity is now opened whereby _t-iey may be placed in comfort , plenty , and independence !! Sliould the exiles , when they return , find tueir families placed iu independence and comfort , they will be armed iiith encouragement to renew their exertions in behalf of our rights ! whereas , should tliey return to iind their families imprisoned in a "Union Bastile , " or the recipients of parish relief—they will be unmanned !

      their energies will be depressed ! their courage will fail them , and we shall bu disgraced !! fonder over these tilings well ere you refuse to give your aid to so laudable an object . Remember that every penny spent in dissipated habits would do something towards ameliorating the ' condition of the victims . As much good has been done in some localities by various appeals _b-jing read at both their Land and Cbaitist meetings , we suggest that the plan he ado _* _at < d in every locality .

      Worship Street. — An Attob.Vei's Doinos....

      WORSHIP STREET . — An Attob . vei _' s Doinos . - A master bootmaker , carrying on business in the immediate neighbourhood o f the court , requ-sted Mr _Brouajbtou _' _s assistance to procure tedresB from un attorney , in the occasional habit of practisinc _, at this and other police courts , and against whom _nther complaints of unprofessional conduc ' - and practices have been preferred upon previous occasions . The applicant , who appeared to bo sullering under extreme mental distress and anxiety , stated that after struggling hard for a length ef time past to obtain n _snhsisttanov for Mo-trite and ten children , he had lately found himself involved in pecuniary difficulties , from which it was impossible to extricate himself , and having , by the advice of his principal creditor , resolved upon obtiiining a fiat in bankruptcy ,

      he wis recommended to apply to a solicitor to adopt the necessary proceedings on his behalf ., He accordingly waited upon that person , wbo told liim that the expenses of working tho commission would come to £ 10 , and that £ Z of that amount must be paid immedia ' telv , before any steps whatever could be taken . He was ia sueh a penniless state that it was only with extreme diffieulty he could raise even that amount , but he succeeded in borrowinijit , and handed it to the attorney , upon wlwm he impressed the necessity of immediate proceedings being token , as several actions had already been commenced against him in the Countv Ci . i . rt , and one of winch was to be adjudicated upon on the _folloning Saturday . The attorney promised thut , prior to thatduv , tbe hut should be struck , and he accordingly on tbe Saturday attended at the County Court and explained to tbe

      judge the course he had been compelled to adopt , when a week ' s time was given him to obtain tbe necessary vouchers in authentication of his statement . After repeatcd applications to the attorney , however , without any satisfactory _reault _, be at length went to the _lianlfrupiey Coutt _. and there found that not a single step Laid been taken in the matter , and the attorney himself , upon bein ' closely pressed , admitted tho fact , and put him iff with an indefinite promise his ••• oney sliould ie returned . The result of this conduct was , that judgment had been entered up against httn in three separate actions , which had been previously temporarily suspended ou _tliaj t ' uitU of Ms representation as to his bankruptcy being correct , and lie was noiV in ' momentary

      expectation that the whole of his goods would be seized in execution , and his wife and family turned _houself'SS into the _strcuts . Mr Broughton said that it was certainly n very cruel case , and hegrently regretted tbat he was unable to render the unfortunate applicant nny eiiective assistance , but he would direct ono of the officers to see tho solicitor upon tlte subja . ct , and endeavour at least to induce him to refund tlio money , wbich lit had received for rendering a service which it was evident he had not performed . _^ The applicant expressed his thankfulness to the magistrate , and quitted the court , accompanied by Haywood , the warrant-officer , who afterwards _returned-and stated that bis attempts to obtain an interview with tho person alluded to had been as _ et unsuccessful ,
