» ' - ¦ — CONCLUSION OF MR . O'BRIEN'S LETTER TO MR . O'CONNOR . ( Continuedfrom our last . ) I c » uld point out ft variety of w&tb in which your pro-Tory policy would , if acted upon , vitally damage our cause , but , for the present , I content myself with adverting to a few of tfee more prominent and fatal misdiifcfa it is pregnant with . 1 st It was calculated to destroy our chances of turning the elections to good account , aad , to my ertain knowledge , has materially injured us in a few places , where it was partially acted upon . For what was its tendency ? Its tendency was to breed uncertainty and division in the Chartist sinks , and thereby to render almost impracticable our
two grand and leading objects , viz . the practical assertion of Universal Suffrage by the show of hands , and the setting Chartist candidates returned to the House Of Commons by coalitions with one or other of the adverse faction * . I bare already shown h ^ w it tended to mar the latter object ^ by indisposing both Whig and Tory' candidates from BpIittlBg theil Totes with us . Let me now , therefore , show how it tended to frustrate our other object—the election of a national representation . To show this , I hare but to asi a simple question . How could you expect the people t-j put the : nselves to all the inconvenience and treacle of creating a National Representation—to say nothing of fuiore trouble and expense— if yon previously lead them to look for their salvation to quite
another and different sort of agency , viz . —the state of parties in . the House of Commons ? In ether words , what is the good of your recommending the people to return candidates of their own by show of kands , if , in the same breath , you tell them that their best and only road to success lies in producing a Tory Government , with a Wtig opposition to combat it in the new House of Commons ? Once pf rsuade the people that they have only to drive the Whigs from offiee , and piice them " on the black side of the Treasury" make " ram pant democrats" of them , Once persuade tte psople of this , and -irhat motrre or inducement Will thty then fc&Ye for electing a National Representation ? I say , they -will hare none . Universal Suffrage could do no more for them thaa fill the House of Commons
with democrats -, but if you can persuade them that the Whiga , when in opposition , will become democrats , and throw themselves once more on the people for support , in order to get back to the Treasury benches—if , 1 say , you can maze ths people believe that , —then it is idle to talk of electing a national representation by show of hands ; but that is the very thing you hare been driTing at for the last flv « or six weeks . In all your recent letters , you have Laboured to make the people believe that we have enly to eject the "Whigsfrom office to turn them into " rampant democrats" and " physical-force Chartists , " and upon this speculation is founded your recommendation to tote everywhere for Tories , and keep out the Whigs at all luzsrds .
Xow , you either believed in the virtue of this ne-w policy , or yuu did not If you did not , yon ought not to bare recommended it ; if yon did—and if you expected to make the people also believe in it—then what business had you to recommend the practical assertion of Universal Suffrage by the show of hnnds , &c . &c ? Assuredly a national representation by a show of hands could do no more for the people than would a thundering Whiz-democratic opposition in the House oi Commons , yearning and panting for office , invoking once more the " pressure fram without , " in order to get there , and ( if we are to believe yon ) ready to go the whole of the Charter , " bristles and all , " rather than forgego the sweets of Downing-street . With such a conviction : with such wondrous faith in
the virtues of a Whig opposition , how could you think of a sh jff of hands representation ? I could not . If I held your creed on that point ; if I believed with you , tfcat the Whigs , in opposition , would go any lsngths , € T-: n the length of the Charter , to get back to tffioe , I afccnld never think of a show of hand 3 representation , nor o ? any other mode of exrrying the Charter , than simply expelling the Whiga from office . All my efforts would be directed to that single point , aud I should consider myself a wretch and a public nuisance , if I sought to distract public attention from it by any other plans or projects whatever , —and more especially by recommending a snow ot bands representationwhich was to come into existence simultaneously with a streng Tory Government , the very first act of which
w * uid be to put down the said representation by brute force . For , ¦ ' lay not the flittering unction t * your soul , " my dear Feargus , that a strong Tory Government would not try to put us down—and by brute force , too . I tell you , they would ; asd I will bet you what you like , that the Tory Government we are about to tare will , if it be strong enough , make the attempt Give them only a good working ni * jority in the Commons—just such a majority as you have been yearning for for the last six wteks—I say , just give the Tories such majority , and I will bet you what you like , that they will put down , by brate feres , any popular representation in ' , Convention Which may be then in existence , and that so far frem th . e Viilt Whig opposition playing into our hands as you
expect , —they will either openly , or covertly , \ aecording to the character of their constituencies , ana the temper of the people ; abet the Tory despota in their every liberticiiial act Talk ef t ^ e Whigs becoming democrats . In oppos tion !—and making common cause with the Chartists too ! By ail that is sane , you are not Bound in mind , my dear Fr&rgus , if you imagine it Dj not be aniiry with me for this . I would tell my own father he was mad , if he tried to persuade me that the present rsae of Wb / . gs will ever be democrats , or ever make common cause with the Chartists , or ever stand as a barrier between us and Tory despotism , —until we are able to ni&ke them " jump Jim Crow , " by Jetting both factions see that we have a greater physical force at our disposal than they have . Then , but not till then ,
-will your grand political " auction" take place—then will the two faclions bid and outbid one another for our support . But not one momant sooner—I care not what private information you may hare to the contrary , I care not what this interloper or that interloper may bave been "whispering into youi " caged'' eai—I will tate up vhe hisU-ry of the world , the living character of man , and the experience of aU ages and countries , against the state " secrets of your prison house , " and then stake my life against yours that a strong Tory ¦ Government wiil try to put down Chartism , and that we shall gain no more by having the Whigs in opposition than we did by having them in offiee , unless we can bring to bear upon them a power greater , than that of both factions combined ! That power too , must
be of our owe exclusive t "' ' ^ " ^ . for cae particle of aid in its formation , we shall never have from either Whig or Tory . With this conviction , I hold ia sovereign coct = mpt the puny drivellers who say— " We are not strong enough to put down both factions at once , but we can make a tool of one to put do-wn the other , and so everlastingly put dowa both . " Tis ail moonshine . We cannot reach either faction without coming into contact with both . We cannot put down eithtr of them by any process which will Tiot put down the other at the same time . We may driTe one fecdon out of effiee , and the ether in , but that is not putting either down . Is is only making them eh&nge places for a season , until another paroxysm of public exasperation comes and compels
them to ses-saw it again , and so on to the end of the chapter : that is , until we get Radical Reform , or revolution . We may help the Tories this year to put out the Whigs , and next year we may help the Whigs to put out the Tories again , but there will end our tr iumph , for to that extent , and no more , we have the balance of power . But as te extinguishing either the "Whigs or the Tories as a party , by any process whiea would not extinguish both together , I hold the thing to be quite impossible : and as to the idea of our using one fsctien as the tool wherewith to destroy the other , it never entered any man ' head , who was not him-» elf either a tool , or a tool-maker , to one or both of the factions . The Chartist elector who votes for a Tory merely to turn out a Whig , is , pro tanlo , a tool of the
Tories . The Chartist elector who vots for a Whig merely to keep out a Tory , is , pro iani * , a tool of the ' Whigs . The Chartist who induces others to set in . this way is , pro tanto , a tool-maker to tne faction he belpa to power ; aud , if he acts from conscientious . mosrres , tiiat i » , wia tbe view ot indirectly teneutling our cause , he is ttun ithough unconsciously ) both aj tool and a tool-mater to the faction he imaginas he is j making a tool » f , for the people . In this light , I ; -eoniider you and M'Danall , and all the other leaders who have concurred in recommending your pro-Tory policy te the Chartist coDstituences of the ' kingdom . I believe you all to have acted from the Ijert and purest nio ^ ves ; but I also believe tha t ever / mother ' s son of you is stark staring mid upon that one I ;
particular paint- You may call me mad far thinkisg * o , if you like- I - * ill not be angry with you . So pray 4 ontbeangr > irith me . Mr . M'Douall , 1 know , will not , for he weuld deem it an honour even ts go mad in such company . Small blame to him for it ; he knows tint with all your faults , you are wonh 3 shipload of the Tery best of us , if we could enly keep you within bounds . To do that , we must tis you down rigidly to principle . We must show you , that while we honour you as our undoubted chief and champion , we are ready to throw even yov overboard , the mt . nient you aitempt to sobsSfcute expediency for principle . This brings me to my second grand objection to your new Tory policy . 2 nd . Yon * advice to Tote for Turiea was a palpable abandonment of principle for expediency . It was asking men to do wrong that good might come of it . It was asking men to outage their natural feelings , and to rebel against the dictates of conscience in lie vain hope
that good would come out of eTiL This objection alone , I hold to be ratal to your policy ; for , if you reeommead men to do what their feelings and consciences naturally revolt against , yeu cannot expect your advice to be generally followed , and ,, therefore , you only breed discontent , division , and weakness , where unity and hearty cooperation should prevail . Aad that such has been the effect ol yoor adrioe , wherever it was partially acted npon tand nowhere did the Chartists gentraUy adopt it ) I have evidence upon evidence to prove . I have thii moment a mass of correspondence before me from all pa « s of the eoimsrj-, wiiicli would convince eve * your self that your pro-Tory policy was not relished by the majority of Chartist electors , and that whatever progress it nude amongst the non-electors was solely owing to the grest respect aad deference which your name camts with it , and ever will carry with it . for the in- . ¦

calculable services you have rendered to the cause of democracy . Some of this correspondence is from personal friends of your own—nearly all of it , front men who are amongst jour warmest admirers , and who , like myself , know well how to appreciate your services , and as it was all or nearly & 11 , spontaneous , Le . not eUnttdhj any previous correspondence of mint . I imfer from it , that y ^ a and the Editor ef the Star have decidedly mistaken the public opinion of the Chartist body ob the subject
In this very town of Lancaster not & siagle Chutist elector voted for the Tories , ( Greem and Morton , ) except a few who had to do so under the pain of losing their employment , and Beeing their families reduced t » beggary ; whereas , every Chartist elector who had a will of his own , and not a few too , in despite of intimidation manfully recorded their votes for Armrtrong , who , though not a professing Chartist , was , and is believed to be , a Chartist in heart , having always proved himself the people ' s friend , as far as he ctnld safely dare to do so .
I could adduce many similar proofs , but they SJ unnecessary to my purpose . My opposition to your pro-Tory policy would be equally ardeat whether I had the public opinion with me or nit ; for though I shall always submit to the will of the majority , I shall never surrender my convictions to it , much less renounce my right of endeavouring to influence it ia the course of its formation . . 3 rd . My third and strongest objection to four policy is that it opens a door to infinite dnplicity , corruption , and partisanship in our ranks , and tends , by it stultifying and demoralizing character , to the eventual dissolution of our body , It start * a precedent , which , if once allowed a footing amon * sfc us , must sooner or later put an end to all possibility of keeping the Chartists an integral and independent body . To make this clear to you , I beg to put the following question : —
What bettsr right have you to ask Chartists to vote for Tories , merely " to turn out the Whigs 1 " then Douglas , Edmonds , Salt , and the other ragmoney radical * of Birmingham , have to ask us t « vote for Whigs , merely to " keep oat tte Teries , " or than Lovett , Hetherington , and the rest of the London knowledge-mongers have to ask us to vote for Hume , Leader , or the like sham-liberal humbugs ! You have none . There cannot be two distinct moral rules for you aad them . If you have & right to eacrifioe principle to expediency , so have they ; if you have a right to advise evil that good may come of it , so have they . If you have a right to tike « p the old plea , that " the end justifies tho means , " so have they . A » d if you call the rag-money radicals hypocrites and traitors , for trying
to enlist the Chartist electors of Birminghom on the side of the Whig Ministry , and if you denounce the " knowledge-mongers" for their covert alliance with the sham Liberal party , bow will yoa neet their replica tions , when they charge you with betraying the Chartist cause to the Tories ! Yott cannot I defy you to justify your policy by any course of argument which will not equally justify them . All you can say for yourself is , that you deem it expedient for the Chartist interest to have the "Whigs in opposition , instead of in oJLce ; to -which they will reply—that it is much more expedient for us to " keep the Tories out at all hazMVs " and to get shams and Huine-iisg into the House , wherever " we are not strong enough to get in Chartists . "
ThuB it becomes a battle of expediency against expe diency ; one portion of the Chartist body adopting your ideas of expediency , while the other portion adopts iheir ' i ; and thus between you , the Chartist body is divided against itself , and instead of actiug the independent part which becomes a great and injured people , they are degraded into mere appendages , make-weights , and cats ' -paws fer other people's rs § , —asd instead of careering onwards to liberty , in the strength # f unity and wisdom , they are ignominiously yoked to the chariot wheels of their oppressors , to swell their triumph , and to bear witness to their own impotence and humiliation .
Kow , what is the obvious way to prevent all this mischief and degradation ? It is simply to adhere to principle . If you , and the rag-money Radicals , and the " knowledge-mongers , " would all adhere to the strict letter of our principles , there would be no di / ision in our ranks . This I do not expect from the ragmoney Radicals , or the " knowledge-mongers , " but I do expect it from you , -who , I know , or at least believe , would rathe ? perish on the scaffold to-morrow , than betray the people in the most triiing detail , or surrender one iota of the Charter .
Yours , Faithfully and affectionately , Jaues Beoxterse O'Briek

THE NORTHERN STAR . SATURDAY , JULY 10 , 1841 .

THE PEOPLE-THEIB POSITION . Thk elections are now over , so far as centralised poverty and wretchedness can make exhibition before pampered wealth and usurpation . With the county elections the people can haTe but little to do ; ¦ w hile we unhesitatingly declare that , as far as the boroughs hare gone , the whole triumph has been upon their side , however force and arms may , for yet a little , balk them of the fruits of conquest . The Queen has heb convivial Ministers ; the" monopolists" ( and we ase the word in its political , not in its commercial signification ) hare their Parliament ; but yet the people have no representatives .
Apart , however , from so desirable an object , the exhibition a&s had a stunning effect , and must produce a startling reaction in the miud of many a false' calculator who fondly relied upon prerogative for the protection of power , monopoly , and distinction . The sealed and jaundiced eye which ha 3 long looked without compassion and with contempt upon system-made wretchedness , must have cowered before the appalling sight of wholesale destitution , squalid misery and naked pauperism standing in
the midst of warehouses fall of the produce of their own hands . The ear , heretofore deaf to the humble petition , the supplicatingprayer , andjustcomplaintof the destitute and the poor , ma 3 t have been penetrated by the wild shout of veDgeance which burst from the suffering millions ; and , however they may have previously pleaded ignorance of general want and of the justice of universal complaint , they are now warned and forewarned : they are purchasers of power with full notice of the dangerous tendency of its abuse .
Yes , every borough nomination may be consisidered as & court of " oyer and terminer" where majesty made proclamation , and invited all to come forward who had any charge to prefer against the system of class legislation . Many and heavy hare been the charges ; and well and ably have they been sustained , in every single instance , by the real representatives of the people : and the
judges having heard , it now lesta with them as to how th « y shall determine . Wisely , —and they will find the people a noble people ; foolishly , —and they will find the people a seise people . The great triumph to the popular cause may be briefly stated , as contained in the following passage of Mr . O'Coknob ' 3 letter to the men of SheffieldV published in September , 1939 , and re-printed in the Star of vhe 26 ih of June last . He
says—¦ " Men of Sheffield , —The press , which has deluded our opponents by laughing at our weakness—by deny- j ing our union and our strength ; the press , which is the : index and the horn-book of all the factions—will not ' . be able to blindfold the several candidates , who them- t ' selves shall be made witness of their own defeat No I ¦ act would so far tend to give the enemy ocular de- ; ' monstration of our power , of their weakness , and news- ; ' paper deceit" ! i To add one word to the above prophetic passage ¦ would be useless , farther than to observe , that the , ; recommendation has been nobly acted upon , and ' , thai the desired result has been achieved . !
; What was the position of the respective parties ¦; ; npon this glorious , this unparalleled , this gigantic ! struggle t Upon one side stood the advocates of : consthntJonaJ prerogative ; upon the other stood the ¦ ; surveyors and the balancersof "finalitj /' respectiYely < backed by the several Bbades of monopolists ; no dis- i ; tinction observable in their resolve to plunder ; the '¦ ; only difference being their mode of its aocomplishi ment ; while between the two thieves stood the j advocate of the crucified pauper , cheered and sup- ! I ported by the slaves , —so , no ; no longer slaves !—by i the freemen who , despite the withering scowl of the j i tyrant employer , held np their blistered hand * , L i and raised their sweet voices for liberty and
- labour . . | W « appeal to our greatest enemy , and to the greatest enemy of the people , whether or not any | ' political party , in any agej or any country , ever ' maintained so proud a position as the people occupied > and prtserved , against all the power of gold , intimi-\ ' dation , and threatened vengeance , throughout the \ ; past Etruggle . We answer , never ! History has no ; j record : tradition has no cote of union so general '

and unbroken , determination go feme , or triumph so perfect . The reward of one who undertakes to school the public mind is seldom great , while his trials are various and without number ; yet have we reaped from the harvest , whereof wehave scattered some of the seeds , a crop more than abundantly remunerative ef aU our labour , our toil , our anxiety , and hope . Yes , is truth , the result has far exceeded our most sanruine expectations .
Let us , for a moment , enter upon the grounds of Whig appeal to popular support . We take , for example , the speech of Mr . Leader , who , instead of relying upon , or even citing one single positive act of good done by the Whigs , cod tents himself with asking : " What have you to expect from the Tor ies \ " Rubbish ! Just what we got from the Whigs ! with this single difference , that wehave a right to expect it from the Tories , but we had a right to expect something better from the Whigs . In fact , the reasoning of the Hon . Member for Westminster , and his justification of Whiggery , may behest explained thus ; Suppose A and B , two
robbers , meet two travellers whom they attack ; separately , with intent to rob ; and supposethe victim of A makes some resistance and is shot , but that the victim of B surrenders his purse without resistance , and thereby saves bis life . We ask the sapient advocate of the Whigs , whether he , as a juror , would deem a plea by B to an indictment for robbery good , in which B merely set forth his comparative forbearance , alleging that he only robbed , and did not as A had done , take away life ? What , in such case , would be the answer of the judge , if he condescended to notice the folly 1 Would he not say : " A's greater crime by no meanB justifies your great crime . "
For four years we have been noticing and exposing this system of relying for popular support upon Tory atrocity , instead of upon Whig performance . Our leaders would hold further repetition to be an insult to their understandings . Another fallacy which we propose to notioe , a detail fallacy , is that contained in the answer of Mr . He . nbt Aglionbt to the good men of Cockermouth , who , upon being asked , " Will you vote for Universal Suffrage \ " answered , " No , because it has no meaning according to the Chartists . Universal Suffrage , " said he , " means the enfranchisement of women and children . "
Now this legal quibble is worthy of notioe , and the more so , as some of our ignorant neighbours of the Fox and Goose Club hare attempted to strut upoa the same stilts . First , then , let us ask if the objection of Mr . Aglionbt is not in direct opposition to the memorable doctrine laid down by Reformers , and repeated to surfeiting : " 0 , surely if we cannot go the whole road together , me may journey on in company as far as we can agree . That point Mr . O'Connor very significantly ascribed to be always at" Whig cross , " when the Whig said to his Hadical companion : Now , my friend , I have arrived at my destination ; yours is
plbtheb on , but I am at home ; so good night . If we would adopt the expediency fallacy of our fellow travellers , we may now retort , and say : " Well Mr . Aglionby , if you are for advancing to the cradle , and driving women from privacy , to take part in the busy bustle of politics and strife ; and if we have too much good sense to appeal to the infar . t , or unformed mind , and too much good taste to undo what the law , which you practise , has wisely done , by making the interest of man and his wife one and inseparable ; yet , surely , as we are going on the same road , you can have no objection to journey with us to the 21 male stone . "
Now , this would be in perfect accordance with Whig recommendation and invitation ; but , inasmuch as we never find anytkin ^ in Whig precedent very worthy of being followed , and as it is necessary to expose , and at once cut the leg fron under hobbling folly and stalkiDg ignorance , —here goes . To Mr . Aglionbt , then , we say , " onward onward ! onward ! you cannot go too far for as ; and if the establishment of a folly is necessary for the correction of an evil , we will be parties to your folly , which the good sense of the working classss would very speedily destroy . And , inasmuch as the union of the righteous is more perfect than
the harmony or agreement of theuDgodly , democracy would much benefit by the new version , —for this reason ; the family of a working man would be one , while the family of the oppressor would be divided into contending parties . Therefore drive the inmates of the mansion , the nursery , and the cradle ; the broibel , thegaol , and the madhouse , if you will , to the hustings ; and , as we have more than once assertzd , a vicious majority will cower and crouch before a virtuous minority ; but yet , with all the rotten links which the new version could add to the chain , would the popular ranks remain the great majority , defying all opposition , from whithersoever mustered . "
Our readers may possibly ask , why waste time in argument about what every working man fully understands 1 To such an observation we would reply , that the practice of the Star ever has been , and we trust ever will be , to meet fallacy in the outset ; to cut every leg from under every pretence for withholding from the people their just rights . And our friends are now beginning to feel thegood effects of our policy and perseverance . A few years since 8 tme clap-trap or nonsense was a strong
rallying point for the friends of despotism ; now , however , folly is crushed in its infancy : and let the people be assured that it is much more easy to remove a mole-hill of new folly , than to remove a mountain of old absurdity . Every act of tyranny commences in a mild form , and gains a giant's strength by passive obedience and non-resistance . Our duty as journalists is not only to disseminate knowledge , but to remove prejudice and beat down opposition .

a a THE LEEDS FOX AND GOOSE CLUB v . THE "SIX INCOMPREHENSIBLE OMNIBUSES " FULL . Leeds ! Leeds J alas ! poor Leeds ! It is not many months since we were assured that the new " menagerie" incorporated within itself all that was politically valuable or effective within the borough minus about Bix " comprehensible omnibuses full . " Well , " The tree shall be known by its fruit" ; and , we presume , so shall the bird be known by its egg ; and we may now judge of the nature of the
I \ ^ 1 i i i j ¦ j " Goosey" by the genus which it has hatched and produced . We early foresaw , and at once predicted , that the malicious ingenuity of the half-fledged tribe would pluck Leeds of the master quills of Reform , and replace them with the pin-feathers of a cackling brood . Moleswokth was not sufficiently Radical ; and as for old Baines , the glory of his day had passed away ; his sun had set in the north to rise no more . The very mention of his name would destroy all the prospects of his party ' s success . Onward , we must be shoved , " part pas&u , " with the march of intellect and to the " overture of Mother Goose . "
The whole management was taken out of the hands of the pilot that weathered the storm" and more than once brought the bark of Whiggery through shosi 3 and quicksands . Baimes , ( for whose political character we have the most thorough contempt , but of whose efficiency in all the tactics of party squabble , we have the very highest opinion , ) was thrown overboard , to break tho fall of Sir William Molesworth , and
to prepare the way for , at least , one out and outer ; and , in truth , an ** out" and " outer' * he has proved to be . ' Now , had the arrangements been left in the hands of the Leeds Mercury , we have no hesitation , not the slightest , in asserting that at the present moment Leeds would have been represented by two pure Whigs ; that is t two anti-Tory Members , instead of being reduced to the humiliating condition of having a pare Tory and a Tory-Whig—a fixed Conservative , and a sliding barrister . " 0 ,

how have th « mighty fallen ! " and what just cause tho supporters of Whiggery have to exclaim , ** Save us from our friends !" For our own part , we have every reason to be most satisfied with the result of the dog-fight , which , era long , is buto to drive the routed Whigs for shelter to the Chartist tree . Leeds , of all places in the world , to return a Tery , and bo Whig ! Leeds ! of all places in the world ! the great capital of the great county of the great manufacturers , upon the great question of the GREAT COMMERCIAL REFORMS , printed in GREAT letters by all the GREAT guns of Whigceryf
Well ; after all , speaking commercially upon the great commercial question , we havo no hesitation in saying , that so long as the people are excluded , Leeds and Wakefield are now the most characteristically and properly represented towns in Yorkshire—the one by a business Whig , and the other by a business Tory . In conclusion , we hare now some right to crow over the produce of all but the " six comprehensible
omnibuses full , when we see the fruit of this mountain in labour , in the unpolitical and unchristian condition of waiting for a name , which , contrary to all the rules of baptism , he must vote to himself . Aye positively , even among the godfathers and godmothers of Mr . Aldam , there is some strong misgivings as to his creed . They have now discovered that he is a barrister ; and that he claims the right of defending his clients according to his own judgement .
Poor , poor Mother Goose ! Well may she cackle , and cackle away ! She looks as odd and foolish , and is as busy as a hen with one chicken !

THE KILL- 'EM-AND-EAT- 'EM WHIGS . We have told our readers again and Again , that the bloodiest of all " rampant patriots" were the Whiga—out of offioe;—that the physicalforce dootrine of the most exoited hunger-and-oppression-bitten Chartist was the very " milk of human kindness" compared with the displays of feroeious wildness with which the strong-languageprosecuting Whigs Would favour us as soon as they had a glimpso of the wrong side of the Treasury .
They are even forestalling OHr expectations . They don't wait to be decently outside the House before they "let light through the windows . " The progress of the elections has already maddened them—and in no instance so much as in that of tho rejection of Mr . Bbown Bread Joseph Hume , for Leeds . What say our readers to the following specimen of " liberal " feeling from the Sun—the mo 3 t liberal of all the " liberal" Whig papers 1 We had purposed comment , but abstain . We leave it to tell its own story ; and here it is . The ruffian who writes it tiad learned that Dr . Hook and his Lady had manifested some interest in the Leeds Election , and on the wrong side . Hear him : —
" We have observed that the Ticar of Leeds , Dr . Hook , took an active part in the contest . He hastened home from the foot of the Alps , he said the instant he heard of the dissolution ; and he hastened to Leeds , to throw the whole weight of hia influence into the Tory scale . We do not object to clergymen mingling ia politics . On the contrary , we think it their duty to interfere with men in all their relations , so far as advising and counselling them goes ; bnt it is indispensible that they take the moral and the just side . " * * * " WlIEN THE CLERGT TAKE PART IN POLITICS , THEY OUGHT TO TaKH 1 HE RIGHT Sinu . " •
" Ifariy ladies , led by a mistaken party zeal , side , like Dr . Hook and others of the clergy , with the oppressors of the people , they must not be mrprised should even their claimi to universal homage fait , in a time of excitement , to disarm the hatred of savage hunger .

Thames Poiicb . —A Mud Laek . —Katharine Macarthy , a very aged Irish woman , who was ouo mass of mud and filth , was brought before Mr . Broderip , on Tuesday , charged with stealing coals from the craft on the river . The wretched creature , who made her appearance for about the fiftieth , time at this court s has been known to the river police as a " mud lark"for the last thirty years , and she has been repeatedly fined and imprisoned for plundering the coal-barges , but she no sooner leaves prison , than she is to be seen wading through ihe mud amongst the coal-barges , picking up stray lumps of coal , and forcing large pieces overboard , which she Ipaintft' in a peculiar manner , by first washing the dust off with water , and after wards rubbing the mud over them , to give them an appearance of having fallen .
over by accident . It is this unlawful trade which has so often got Kate Macarthy into trouble . Last winter , during the severe frost , and while the river was covered with ice , and the coal barges were locked in opposite the wharfs by masses of ice , was the old woman , pursuing her business , alternately wading up to her arm-pits in the mud , and then walk ing into the river to wash herself , the ice and the coldness of the water seemiDg to make nx > impression upon her . She is the dread of the Thames-police , and has often set them at defiance . Oa many occasions , after wading through tho mud-bank , she has embraced the officers like a bear , and , after halfsmotheriug them , has left them as muddy as herself . On Monday the prisoner was detected among the coal barges at tho ' Salisbury-wharf , belonging to Messrs .
I ugh and Judkins , in the Strand , and Grimstone , a Thames police inspector , observed her take Boma large pieces of coal off the barges ,, throw them into tho mud , ^ tad paint them all over , and then deposit them in a bag lying upon the bard . She was about to . leave the place laden with as many painted coals as -her strength would sustain , when Grimstone stopped her , and said she must come along with him . She immediately threw down her bag of coals , and ran back into the mud . A river constable made an attempt to stop her , and she hugged him closely , and dragged him into a mud bank . They rolled over each other , and the old woman appeared to consider it as glorious fun ; but it was nearly death to the man , who came out of the mud quite exhausted , and in the oust pitiable condition that can well be imagined . Kate Macarthy
buried herself in the mud up to her chin , and Grimstone-and two other officers , fearing that they should meet the same fate as their companion , whose clothes wore completely spoiled , left her there until the tide rising , compelled her to come ashore . She then surrendered to the police , and asked them what they thought of a mud-lark . Grimstone said that the depredations of the old woman were very serious to tho coal-merchants , and that she made four or five trips per day , and carried off as much as 1 owt . of coals each time . The prisoner , on being called upon for her defence , said she found all the " coals" in the mud , except one lump , which a coal-potter whipped out of his Back , and that she was an honest mud-lark . Mr . Broderip sentenced the prisoner to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour .

After the usual forms had been observed , the Sheriff put the usual question , if any one had a candidate to propose . Provost Bissett then stepped forward and proposed Archibald Hastie , Esq . Mr . Brown , of Kgypt Park , seconded the nomination of Mr . Hastie . On the question having been put by the Sheriff , if there were any others to be proposed , Mr .

EXECUTION AND RESUSCITATION OF A MURDERER . WONDERFUL EFFECTS OF GALVANISM . John White , convicted of the murder of Messrs . Gwatkin and Glen , on board aflat boat on the Ohio river , was executed at Louisville , United States , on the 8 ; h ult ., a little after six o ' clock in the morning The rope not " playing" well occasioned the knot to slip over the chin , instead of being under his ear , so that his neck was not broken by the fall . He was cut down , after hanging about twenty-five minutes , and his body given to the doctors for the purposes of experiment .
The Louisbille City Gazette gives the annexed extraordinary circumstances attending an experimeflt with the galvanio battery : — "The polea of a powerful galvanic p ile , which bad been prepared fox the occasion , were immediately applied to him , and , to the unutterable joy of all present , with the mosk perfect success . On the first applicationof the fluid to his body , which , was yet warm and trembling , a universal tremor was seen to pass over hia frame : on a sudden he aroso from his bench to a sitting posture , and with great eagerness and impatience raised his hand to his neck , trying to grasp the scarf in his fingers and tear it from bis throat ! Ho first snatched at it with great rashness , as though the rope was yet around his neck , and then continued some momenta
picking at the seam with his fingers , as though it was something that adhered to his throat , giving him great uneasiness . But this symptom was soon forgotten , for almost the next moment he rose upon his feet , raised his arms level with his breast , and , opening his blood-shot eyes , gave forth from his mouth a most terrific screech , after which his chest worked , aa if in respiration , in a very violent manner . ¦ Every one at this minute w&b as mute as death , when one of the surgeons exclaimed that he was alive . The excitement was too great to allow time for ; a reply to the remarks ; every eye was rivetted upon the agitated and shaking corpse . The operator continued to let npon it a full quantum of the galvanic fluid , till the
action upon its nerves became bo powerful that it made a tremendous bound , leaping by a tort of imperfect plunge into a corner of the room , disengagiug itself entirely from the wires which communicated the galvanism . All immediately drew around the body . For a moment after its fall it seemed perfectly motionless and dead ; a surgeon , approached , and , taking hold of his arm , announced that he thought he felt a slight though a single beat of the pulse . The galvanic operator was just going to arrange his machine to give another charge , when the surgeon exclaimed that he breathed . At this moment he gave a long gasp , rising and gently waving his right hand ; his sighs continued fox two minute ? , when they ceased entirely . His
whole frame seemed to be agitated , his chest heaved , and his legs trembled . These effects were supposed to be caused by the powerful influence of tho galvanic fluid upon the nerves ; none of tht | e movements were yet supposed attributable to the" action of life . It was considered that the animating principle of nature had left his frame and could never be again restored . In the very height of anxiety , the surgeon announced that he could feel feeble pulsations . A piece of broken looking glass was immediately held before his nostrils , which was instantly covered with a cloud . The most intense anxiety was felt for some seconds , when the motion of his chest , as in the act of respiration , became visible . He tolled his eyes wildly in their sockets ,
occasionally closing them , and giving most errific scowls . In about five minutes his breathing became tolerably frequent—probably he would give one breath where a healthy man would give four . His breathing , however , rapidly increased ; The doctors began to speak to him , but he gave no indications that he heard a word . He looked on the scene around him with the most death-like indifference . A young medical student approached him , and , taking hold of his arm and shoulder-, White rose upon his feet , took two steps thus supported , and seated himself in an arm chair . His muscles seemed to relax , and he appeared somewhat overcome with the exertion he had made . A bottle of hartshorn was immediately applied to his nose , which revived him , but his life seemed
to be that of a man much intoxicated . He seemed upon one obcasion to try to give utterance to some feeling , but , from an unknown cause , an impediment probably , occasioned by the execution , he was unable to give utterance to a word . Bis system was critically examined , and , though he was pronounced by the doctors to be perfectly alhe , yet he could live but a very few minutes , for congestion ot the brain was rapiuly taking place . Every method was taken to equalise the circulation , and save tho patient from the terrible consequence of so sad a catastrophe , but in vain . The bloodvessels of the head were enormously distended , and bis eyes appeared to be balls of clotted blood . His system was immediately thrown into direful spasm ? , and he died in a few minutes in the most excrueiating agonies . " ¦
