      [ COWKTUY EDI'ffBoivT" ^ ~ *^ AN OLD FRIEND T \ ITH A NEW FACE Our readers will observe that this week a ch has been made in our Title . Not so much aclii indeed , as a modification , or rather a cm-tnii !! ^' Instead of the « Northern Star , ' iu futur e it « Su ' the ' Star ; tt « * illUe Wo have not taken this step , which we- are full aware is , in Journalism , a very serious one , wittf out mature consideration . A change of name eom times involves a change of policy also . In «¦ * instance that is to some extent the case ; but \\ V \

      Aim ^ Ulu iiito nnnrt silin ^ niI / i / 4 *\» m n *^ l ^ . ^ f . Q our title has been curtailed , our sphere of action been enlarged . We are not one whit less Chart !!! than ever we were . To Universal Suffrage y pin our whole faith , as the only complete measnj which will enable the people to do themgelves justice That is not with us the opinion of a moment the creed of a day ; but the faith of n lifetime , and our adherence to it is not likely to be lightl y fih ' akco For its consummation we shall strain every nerT * —to its realisation we shall derote all our energy Failure will indicate not want of will , but want of

      power . To Unirenal Suffrage as the great end o ( all politioal effort our desires and endeavourg avj !| constantly tend . It has been said of some men that in the contemplation of the means they lojj Bight of the end . We must be careful that in tlij hope for the end we do not forget the means which are necessary to the accomplishment of our wishei . ha as the man , whose eye » are always uplifted { 0 Heaven , stumbles over a stone in his path , so those who will see nothing but the future , arc tripped up by the obstacles of the preient . That is what we

      have to avoidt Acknowledging the six points of the Charter ss the objects really to be itruggled for , it is impossible for any man who has a moderate share of common sense , to look about him and not see that very little has been done toward their attainment . The Charter is still in nubibus . Much as it is required on earth its realm for the time is Cloudland . Do not let us deceive ourselves upon that point . Let us look gtit like thinking men , not as impulsive savages , or over-hopeful children . It is all very veil for those who have a selfish ' end to serve , or who

      pant for notoriety , or thirst for fame , or hunger lor popular power and its fruits , to treat us to a series of dissolving - views . It may jump with their humour and suit their purposes passing well , to tell us that the Charter is to be had for asking for , but it is not true . The Charter is no more to be ' had noio by asking for , than next year ' s apples are—like them , it must grow and ripen first . That is just the position of the Charter -which is to be , hut is not , For that , much money—money squeezed like dropB oi life-blood from the hard earnings of the poorest has

      been spent . For that , effort has been piled upon effort . For that , the law has beeu braved , and martyrs have languished in dungeons , while wives and children have pined in suffering ; and still tho phantom , like the creation of a tantalising dream , has escaped us . Not only escaped us , but itseerai to have become move inaccessible . After all that liai been done , and suffered , our cause ajomxt ume hopeless than ever—more unablo to embody itself in a substantial form , or gain a legislative recognition , How is this ? The inquiry is worth making , and worth , too , taking some pains to answer .

      Look attentively at the history of the past , and see how Social and Political Improvement and power hare always mored on iogethor . Sometimci one hus been foremost , sometime ! the other , kt neither ever far in advanoe . Political privilege * have never been won without prompting Social eleratiou , and rendering it possible . Social advances have never been made without heralding an accesiionof Political rights . They are the Siamese twint of progress . It is equally true that a politically free people will never consent to remain in social degradation , and that a sociall y comfortable people will new allow themselves to continue political slaves . The forward movement takes in both phases .

      It seems to us that just now the social effort h fte instrument which is most ready to hand , and which the people are most capable of using . They can work for that without any greater Legislative power than they at present possess . For that they need not ask the aid of Parliament . To some extent upon that question their fate is in their own hands . The great masses of labour—those who make all the wealth with which the world teems , and yet suffer in poverty , have yet to learn their own industrial power and its application for their own benefit . Thev ate

      sensible of the fact—that to be rich is to be powerful . That property enjoys greater consideration tlmulife and intelligence . That ought not to be , but if is . Let them grow more comfortable in their circumstances , and they will become more intelligent in their minds . Let them grow into a hijrher intelligence , and political power is their own . How i « this to be achieved ? By a thorough comprehension and a determined following out of the great question ! relating to labour , which are for cing themselves upon the attention of the world .

      Have we neglected these considerations ? -T Chartists we mean . We fear that we have . ff « havo concentrated our attention entirely upon political agitation , and forgotten social and industrial effort . Our want of wealth has made the Leg islature deaf to us ; our want of position has kept us from acting upon the more influential classes of the country . Isolated , standing alone , without a basis of property to act from—Cabinet after Cabinet has

      treated us with contempt—has scoffed at our remofr strancea—has disregarded our petitions—has laughed at our demands—has drawn us to tho verge of Rebellion—has sent our advocates to the gaols or the hulks . The truth is , we have been looking / 0 BteadfaBtVyattheend , that / we have disregarded tw means , and the time haB come to remedy the error . Wo purpose , then , while advocating political e »' franchisement in its widoat and fullest sense , to com '

      bine with it the support of Cooperative effort , a »| the aid of all Trade Societies . We shall do wha we can to help men , not only to political liberty ) W to industrial independence and social comfort . >' shall Btrive to adjust the means to the end , and to « what all men who would serve the interests of hunia * nity must do—use the present as it is for thfl atta'J ' ment of the future as it must and ought to be- ^ is all our change of title portends .
