      XiBUGATION OF CAPITALISTS IN - - OLDEN TIMES TO PROVIDE LABOUR .. . SOB THE PEOPLE .

      most opprobions epithet * , in the hope of arousing popular indignation : " vampire * , " and" bloodsuckers , " and " withhulden of bread from the poor , " hare been bandied about like chaff on a barn floor . Tbe agriculturist * , as a body , have beeo denounced for their heartiessness in lacking frith iodifkreace upon tb « distress consequent upon their locking np of the resources of the poor ., Now , it will hardly be disrated , that if a bushel of wheat ooald be had for

      sixpence , the man who . bad no sixpence to . get it with would be little better for its cheapness . The oolv otni bj which the poor can obtain food " U in retnrn for their labour—aid . whenever they are willing to give tbeir labour io exchange for food , tbe Ten teraw cm which alone a jast and feasible right to property c * a ^ ejialdeo , demand that laboar shall be provided for them by those « pon whom the arrange * ments of society CAase them to be dependent for rabstfteoee .

TheStitote of Henry goes upoa ^ io rigbteoBn principle th * t rhose who live by tbe Ubwirt of die poor shall proTWe those poor with th * nece * s * ry meuts of nbastence—die practice of the modern " bloodsuckers" goes npon the principle of filching from the poor all that can be obtained from them , affonKng nothing is return , save when it suits their

      own conrenience . Tbey are the Tery daughters of the horse-leech , who cry " give , give , " and are never satisfied . They have successively pared down th « earnings of the . industrious until , the substance being gone , the shadow of a livelihood which remains will admit of no more deductions ; and now , seeing that ail hop * of . increasing their ill-gotten store , from that quarter , is annihilated , they turn upon the land , and vociferate for the removal of that legislative favour and protection by which the

      landlords and parsons are enabled to derm some pickings from tbe general rtook of the productions of industry , as- well as tirem « lve * . Hiring already obtained the largest share of the aggregate wealth of the country , their insatubk avarice tests not contented with anything . ihort of the whole ; whije their detestable hypocrisy throws a sheep ' s * k in over tbeir woifi « h limbs , eo- ^ ering their scheme * of spoliation with the delusive cry of " cheap breadcheap bread . "

      Tke people ' s share in this struggle between the landlords aad the monejlords is merely to obtain a btiefit from tne one , which they may baad over , with large additions from their own penury , to the other . 'Tis clearly , therefore , their duty to themselves to leave the rival " vampires " to fight out their own battle , while they—tbe people—watch tbe chance * of the fray fer * ecuricg as m » ch of their own as may be dropp « d in the eagerness of the contest by their foes .

      OF tHE FOUR LEEDS NEWSPAPERS . Throtjuh some culpable negligence , wbich weare unable to account for , the Rotura of Newspaper Sumps has not been sent to us .

      intended . —Yob' say that prior to Air . Stephens « arreKt , I was strong in physical language , bat afterwards , adopted the re ^ olation of acting alpoe and b y myself . Now yoa haA-ft here made a flight mistake in dates . -My determination , as stated in my < letter , was taken on tha 15 th of Dec , and had reference to men ( as stated ) with whom I had becomt ; politically associated oa the 6 th of August ; whereas it ma-it have been known , to every one who knew ray public conduct so well as yea ought to have known it , before thos charging me with treachery to my friends , that my connection with Mr . Stephens was of a date long prior . I could better have excuised any portion of yonrletter than

      caw . inwuat does my neglect of Stephens , wbich yon thus insinuate , consist ? Is it in coming to him the moment I heard of his arrest?—in saying ditto to every word which had been alleged agaiast him as cause for indictment ; and , in the hearing of the magistrates who committed him , standing goJiather to all that he had * aid ? la itfor this I am charged with neglecting him ?—or is it for standing by him ever since , in thought , word , and deed ? aad in now telling Mr . Gobbett—what I have often toW the country—that I woald rather abandon the Cpn-VHntion than abandon Stephens . I have now made friends with the Birmingham men ; bnt it . was to them and Mr . A . Duncan , whom 1 am sorrv to W »

      Odmpellpd to name , that my letter of the , 0 tU of December had reference ; and the day from wSich I date my alliance with them , is the 6 th of Augo ^ t , the day of the Birmingham meeting . J have not yet given np Stephens nor Oantler , nor ever will . Yon say that my being in the Convention wag a aufftcieac reason for your retirement This is childish prattle : it might have been a reason for not not having joined , but certainly not for r etiring ; the more especially as your charge of ioattendon prove * that Iconld have "been but little inconvenience

      Now , Sir , if yon had written to me , instead of to a third party , requiring an explanation or disavowal of the article in question , 1 should have told you that I neither meant to censure , offend , nor in . « ult yoa ; neither do I think that the arucle manifested the slightest intention to hurt your feelings or provoke your wrath . Sir , if i have offended , I am jready to make the amende honorable in any way that a gentleman can require ; but you must be aware"fibat it is a » ligbt to public men . not to noti cefthfjr . pabjle conduct , and you certainl y could not expect me tq praise y oan on the present occa ^ idn .

      • ... ¦ Yours « Stc ^ ' . ! ; i FeARot' 8 O'CdxKoiv . [ Upon ( his correspondence we have justone remark to make , which is , that we could not hare thought it possible for either Mr . J . P . Cobbett or any other gentleman to dream of sending such a letter as his first for publication . The request for an answer to it through the columns of a newspaper is certainly the most extraordinary one we ever saw . Mr . J . P . Cobbett must know very little of the etiquette of the pre .-s , if he did not know that the avowal or disavowal of a particular article by a particular writer , must be sought from the supposed writer and not from the editor of a

      newspaper . If Mr . Jamt-s Paul Cobbett had required the editor of the Xorthern Star io give up the author of the article , he would atonce have been informed whether the Editor chose to do so or to u take the responsibility . "'—Bot Mr . J » P , CooVtt seems to hare notions of proprietj peculiarly : bi ? own ^ : he sends a letter winch no person ia the habit of mixing in sfociety can read * withont eo « - gidering it as a prelude to a da « l ; he requireA ah answer to it through a newspaper ^ end afterwards talks of tbe "impropriety " of theletteribelf not having be «? n published . Now we have seldom been more astonished than when we saw the proof of Mr . Cobbett ' s "discretion" in , tae publication of that letter in the Champion . It seemed to us so like the note of alana to the sheriff or nearest magistrate that it

      reminded us forcibly of the Irish story—* Damn you , Tim ; you that know my temper , why don ' t you hould me from fighting . " It is ia vain for Mr . Cobbett to say that he wwned to know whether the article was Mr . O'Connor * , in order that he might determine whether he should answer it or not . Of what consequence could it be who wrote the article ? The article « w before the public , and if it mis-stated anything , the obscurity of the writer would be no drawback on the mi « chief . It might , to be sure , have been more acceptable to a Hector , like Mr . J . P . Cabr bet , to contend with Achilles than . witk " any other ; but if his reputation was suffering * it wan quite as necessary to extinguish a gnat as < to destroy a tiger . Upon tbe whole , tbe aiariwu " considei ably ridiculous " a one as w ^ nave seen for some timc—Eo . N . S . l " '
