      THE COMING STRUGGLE . THE BEGINNING OF THE END . f J Such shall be the present movement , if the people Will ic . France is a Republic—Sicily , Naples , Rome , Tascany , Sardinia , Lombardy , Switzerland , Prussia , Bavaria , Austria , Belgium , every state of Germany , have felt the magic touch of Liberty—some have achieved , others are achieving ' their rights- —and the " pioneer of Liberty "—England—is demurely bringing up the rear-guard , instead of leading in the van . With the most despicable ministry , the most contemptible faction that ever held

      the destinies of a great nation in abeyance , as their opponents , the British people are , indeed , stirring—but they have needed an impulse from abroad to fire their flagging energy —to n « xe them to the endeavour Not that the public mind was not prepared—not that the working classes of England are not to the full as enlightened , politically and socially , as their cotemporaries throughout the world ; but practical as they are , where the benefit of their masters is concerned , they have hitherto shown little of that practical spirit where their own interests were involved . In

      action— in prompt , ; decisive energy—their continental brethren have far exceeded them ; but the seed is sown , the mind is prepared in England—let us hope the harvest will reward the labour , and the fruit realise the . expectation . The popular mind throughout the country does , at last , seem equal to the crisis—the entire working- classes , and no contemptible portion of the shopkeeping classes , have become aware of the gulf of ruin on the brink of which they stand—the shopkeeper is trying to keep his house over his head—the working man is trying to keep life and soul together—Lord John Russell and the Whigs are trying to prevent them—and hence they are rallying to the cry of "Away with Russell ! " " Down with the system !"

      The extraordinary precautions of the Government show their terror—the steady calmness of the people proves their resolve . The first effervescence of " rioting , " in which the Chartists had nothing to do , has passed away , —not so the discontent which engendered , it . It was' but as the discordant tuning up of the orchestra before the grand overture of liberty begins . The thieves that lsiw-created hunger makes—the crimes that lordly tyranny engenders—mingled their harsh notes with that first defiance pf unwilling- idleness against idle wilfulness—but the chaff has been winnowed from the corn—and , nobly have the Chartists of South Lancashire and Cheshire vindicated Democracy from violence and license , in the following passage of their address

      !citizens , The day of your emancipation 19 drawing nigh . Labour ' s jubilee is being proclaimed ov « r the world . In April , 1848 , your rights of citizenakip will again be demanded from the House of Commons : prepare jourBtlves with becPinini ; dignity , with energy , but ab'ive all , with firmness , for the coming e ? ent . Mak « the National Petition wha ' . ic ought to t > p , and above all , let every step you take be marked with the dignitj of manhood Liberty is too sacred to be associated with unmeaning violence or cringing cowardice .

      Based on such noble principles , agitation increases—the river is gathering strength as it rolls—and Lord John Russell is placed in the dilpmnia of trying to stay the movement—or watching powerless as it gathers and swell around and above him . If he does the firsthe hastens the crisis , the mine of popular indignation will burst under his feet and hurl him from power into appropriate insignificance . If he takes the latter course—the better for him—while Democracy , triumphs the same . As to any successful attempt at quelling the popular movement , and preventing the Charter—even Lord John , conceited as he is . cannot , for a moment , harbour the idea ; —his moral power is a farce—his physical power a nonentity *

      He is trying , indeed , in his sill y little way , what he can do to prevent open-air meetings , as these are what he is most afraid of—but he sets to work very cautiously-nsoundinfr the great popular ocean with his proclamation p lummet and police-line . First he very grandly tries to put down a meeting in Trafalgar-square , having a musty , half . ahsolule law on his side . The people , however , continue to meet . His second move is , to forbid processions through the streets at unseasonuble hours .

      Mark this , reader ; if the people do not grow frightened , and do hold processions , he has still left himself a loophole to declare the hour seasonable ! His third effort is , to declare meetings illegal after six o ' clock in the evening . ( The men of Salford held theirs till nine !) WORKING-MEN ! BE JEALOUS OF YOUH RIGHTS ! Do not let them be frittered down b y the dastardly Whigs . Lord John is preparing for a retreat . Already is the rumour spread that he is " Sick . " If you grow frightened , he will grow well . If you act as befits men , he will be to taken so ill- that he will be forced to Resign . Meanwhile the people are determined to act constitutionall y—within the letter of the law ;

      Untitled Article

      — — but that law the 'Whigs shall not transgress by a hair's-breadth ! If the Government choose to put themselves in the wrong , be it the people ' s dut y ^ ' to set them right . To achieve this they must observe order , and true democratic discipline . They must act as ONE body , for ONE object , with ONE plan . They must not waste their time and energy in desultory meeting ' s , called by anybody , for no particular purpose . THE CONVENTION meets on the 3 rd of April : the interval they must emuloy in organising their masses—signng the — - ~~

      petition-electing their Delegates in public meetings , and these should all be mighty gathering's—tbe more so , as the law allows of but forty-nine Delegates assembling . When the Convention has met , there will be plenty of work to do . Then , we trust , a well digested p lan of action , FITTED FOR ANY EMERGENCY , will be propounded—and it will rest with the people , under the guidance of their own elected Senate , to march from victory to victory , until they have trodden class domination in the dust .

      If the men of London , especially , desire , as it is advisable they should , to come together in their tens of thousands , the election of the three Metropolitan Delegates affords the opportunity—these elections cannot be too publicthe constituencies cannot be too numerous on this occasion . We are happy again to chronicle in our columns ' aperies of great demonstrations—may they greaten every week— every day ! Once more we cry— " No rest ! No pause ! until we have achieved our rights .

      FRANCE HAS A REPUBLIC , ENGLAND MUST HAVE THE CHARTER !

      Untitled Article

      and free from all possible objection . The Gorernment may take all those for whom the present system does not find work . and wages , and set them to work upon reproductive and self-supporting- principles and plans . It is a mere question of Poor Laws in the first instance , and it is . only necessary to ask whether the English system of spending some seven millions or eight millions annually , in forcibly keeping our poor idle in misnamed workhouses , or spending that or such sum as might be required in setting them to work , is the most rational and likely to be most beneficial to all _ . . . mi _ / " *„

      classes in the long run . If the colonies thus formed were placed under proper superintendence and control , and the labourers properly organised , we have little doubt but they would be completely successful , and convert the unemployed artisans and labourers of France into a source of strength to the Republic , who , if not thus provided for , will be a constant source of danger and disorder . Another measure , which , in our opinion , would strengthen the Republic against all assaults from without , and render its frontier invulnerable , would be the establishment of a system of military

      colonisation as suggested some years ago by Marshal Bugeaud . The existence of a Republic in the heart of Europe will be looked upon with jealousy , not to say enmity , by the monarchies surrounding it , At any moment , pretexts for going to war with it may be discovered or invented , and it will , therefore , for h long time to come , be necessary for France to be fully prepared to meet any such hostile demonstrations . But the maintenance of a large standing army , simply as soldiers , is not only

      objectionable in an economical sense , but also extremely dangerous to the existence of a Eepublic itself . It is desirable , therefore , on both grounds , that while the army of France should not lose its military efficiency it should have an industrial character superadded . According to Marshal Bugeaud ' s estimates , ? it would appear that his system of military colonisation would , in ordinary circumstances , render the army self-supporting . Its organisation and discipline pdmirably tit it for making the experiment .

      To form these industrial and military selfsupporting establishments , of course money must be had in the first place . The great pre . liminary step , therefore , of all others , which the Government of France must tale , is to adopt a just and rational monetary system . Let them release themselves from all dependence upon gold , except for foreign exchanges , and create a taxation money sufficient for all Internal exchanges . So long as they rely on Rothschild and the gold lenders for financial support , ' so long as the labour , land , skill , and capital of France can only be combined and put into action by gold and silver ; so long will it be

      fettered in its movements , and its industrial system rest upon an insecure foundation . If they adopt such a monetary system , they will at once emancipate themselves from all their financial difficulties , and create the means of providing ample and remunerating employment to all who cannot otherwise find it , and in the course of time , if the associative and co-operative establishments of the Government worked well , voluntary associations of a similar character would folioiv , and thus a complete change in the structure of society take place , without injury to the persons or property of any class whatever .

      We shall watch with the deepest interest and anxiety the course of the representath r es and Government of the French people upon these vital and all important questions , to which we have alluded in these cursory remarks .

      PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW

      A majority of 225 has given the Whigs a renewal of the Income Tax for three years more , without any abatement of its monstrous iniquities . This was not to be wondered at—the majority voted to save their own pockets . A just and graduated Property-Tax would have taken more from them , and less from the people who depend on their health and ability only for an income . The decision was a purely numerical one—the arguments and the justice were all on the side of the minority ; and however pleasant it may be to Lord John to see himself backed in this way , he must be bliud and deaf also if he fails to perceive that his policy is alienating even his own friends from him , and

      must at no distant date terminate in his expulsion from power . At present , in fact , he is merely Minister on sufferance—there is nobody else prepared to take his place . The speech of Monday night , in which he pretended to re p l y to the arguments used by the opponents of the Budget , was the mostmeagre , illogical , and selfcontradictory ever delivered in the House . It answered nothing- —proved noting- —but his own incapacity for the situation he holds . "We have already , at some length , exposed the errors and injustice of the financial scheme for 1848 , and need not now say more , exceptjto repeat our hope that'the Estimates will be cut down in Committee by unsparing hands .

      The annual debate on Mr Ewart ' s motion for the Abolition of Capital Punishments was somewhat dull . It is difficult to impart novelty or variety to a question which has been so thoroughly discussed as this has been of late years . One thing was elicited , however , that the public mind is advancing towards the point aimed at by Mr Ewart , and those who think with him . The disinclination to the infliction of Death Punishments grows stronger and spreads . There is , however , a not unnatural dislike to their abolition in the case of

      murder—resting partly on instinct , and partly on education . It seems opposed to the natural sense of justice that he vrho has wilfully taken away human life , should be spared alive The abstract arguments by which this feeling has been met , do not remove it . Above all , no Secondary Punishment , as a substitute of a satisfactory character , has yet been proposed , An exposition of the corrupt character of the present House of Commons took place on Wednesday , with reference to the Harwich

      Election . Mr Wakley drew the proper moral from the facts , when he said that the only cure for such an infamous and disgraceful event was a thorough alteration of the electoral system . Until the People ' s Charter puts the whole adult population in possession of political rights—gives them the free and uncontrolled power of exercising these rights , there will always be found rich mea ready , for their own purposes , to bribe . and poor men , impelled by their necessities or cupidity , to accept the price of their own infamy .

      A discussion on the Irish Poor Law , with the view of extending relief to persons holdingmore than a quarter of an acre of land , in connexion with a previous one on a motion of Col . Dennis , to inquire into the operation of the Poor Law generally in Ireland , serves to exemplify the spirit in which an English Legislature looks at Irish questions . It is no wonder that the Irish people should wish to manage their own affairs . We please nobody , and appear to injure all parties , by our ignorant and blundering policy . If we are not mistaken ,

      however , there is a day of reckoning approaching for all our past misdeeds to Ireland—the thunder cloud is growing black above it . Ere long an explosion will take p lace , which might have been averted by timely and wise concessions to the feelings and interests of our fellow subjects . The Times and Chronicle which sneered at and ridiculed the leaders of the French people before , the revolution , are engaged in doing the same to the men who re « present the indignant and oppressed nationality of Ireland . Does the fact portend and precede a like conclusion ?

      the workingclasses is so totally opposed to th . which is sanctioned by the political economy of the capitalists and profitmongers , that it is necessary to setup a howl against it , to cry it down by sheer dint of abuse and falsehood , lest the proletarians , on this side the Channel , should get it into their heads that they have similar rights , and deserve to be similarly treated .

      THEIORGANISATION OF LABOUK IN FRANCE . The newspapers of this country , with few exceptions , are indulging in systematic and continuous misrepresentation of the principles and proceedings of the Provisional Government of the French Republic , with reference to the rights of Labour . Their treatment of

      In many cases , the writers of these articles are learnedly ignorant of the just principles of society . They have been unfortunate enough to have been taught the fallacies of a school of political economists , by which systems were invented for the express purpose of making blade appear white , and of maintaining a state of society which is grossly subversive of justice and equity , and inverts the natural relations of men to each other . There are , no doubt , however , among them many who wilfully and

      maliciously misrepresent the movement in favour of industry in France . Even in their own writings , we see evidence that they know what they are writing against—hut slaves to a moneyocracy , which the establishment of just principles would destroy , they are compelled to malign and calumniate a movement , so dangerous to usurers and idlers , as that which aims at reducing to practice the two leading rules of Christian economy , " He that will not work , neither shall he eat ; " "The labourer shall

      first be part . iker of the fruits . It is in this aspect , principally , that we regard the new Revolution with 'the deepest and most absorbing interest . If it is merely to end in substituting a President , a Senate , and a Congress , for a King , a Chamber of Peers , and a Chamber of Deputies , without radically improving" tbe condition of the labourer , it will have effected but little for the promotion of substantial freedom and liberty , or the emancipation of Industry from that slavery which necessarily results from its present helpless dependence upon Capital .

      If , however , we understand the objects of the leaders and the people of France upon this occasion , they do not mean that their Revolution shall stop with mere political changes . They are impressed with the feeling , so often expressed by Mr O'Connor , and reiterated in the Northern Star , that political institutions are merely to be regarded as the means to . an end , that end being the happiness , prosperity , and independence of all classes , but especially of that class whose labour produces the wealth of the country .

      The impression that this is the case appears already to have given vise to a kind of covert warfare against the Provisional Government , by the capitalists and profit-mongers . We are informed that the wealthy classes in Paris , and indeed generally , are reducing their establishments , and . dismissing their servants . The employers are discharging their workmen , with the view of bringing the Government into disrepute , and of exciting , if possible , a servile H'ar , rather than see the views of Louis Blanc and others carried out . There can be no doubt but that the position of the Provisional

      Government is , at this moment , one of extreme difficulty and peril . They have to secure , in the forthcoming National Assembly , a fair and honest representation of the great muss of the community—the Labouring Class . This they are bravely and vigorously attempting to do , for which they are most heartily abused by the press of the usurers everywhere , and it appears that they will have to contend against a well-organised opposition on the part of the middle classes , who are acting in concert , for the purpose , if possible , of neutralising the ascendancy of the friends of Labour .

      The manner in which M . Lamartine and his colleagues have hitherto conducted the affairs of Prance , under the difficult and extraordinary emergencies which have arisen , does them infinite honour . They havt had , in addition to all the usual incidents of a great political revolution , to contend with the crowning evil of an empty Exchequer . Louis Philippe and his Ministers left France bankrupt , and the hirelings of the press in England do not hesitate to write as though his successors were responsible for the evils thence arising .

      Under these circumstances , the future policy of the rulers of France becomes a question fraught with immeasurable interest and consequences , not only to the people of France , but to the working classes of every country in Europe . It is evident that in the present Provisional Government there are men who are strongly jimbued with Tourievist and Communist ideas , and the probability is , that they will attempt , in some shape or other , to reduce these ideas to practice . The danger is that , led away by enthusiasm , and miscalculating their real strength , they may attempt

      too much and so fail altogether ; this would be a grievous mistake and one deeply to be deplored . If they take a prudent and practi cal course , we believe that no country in Europe presents so fair a ground for trying their views of the Associative and . Co-operative School of Philosophy as France . Its former Revolutions have swept away almost every relic of monarchial and territorial feudalism . It has no laws of Primogeniture and Entailno hereditary aristocracy to hattle against . No private potentate whose sway extends over half a province , the ownership of land is widely

      diffused—and we believe that the writings of Louis Blanc , George Sand , Eugene Sue , Considerant , and others have created a strong public opinion in favour of associative doctrines . So far , then , the course is clear , but in order to proceed surely and to exhibit that general support which is essential to the success of such a great social experiment , it will be requisite that it should be made with great caution . It would , we think , be most unwise to interfere with the existing classification of society in France . But one step , which would probably lead all others in its train , is obvious
