But Hie term " people" in Eraser ' s ^ ionary , of coarse , means only " the thousands and tensof ^ Jousands" banded together in Conserratrre Assaciations .

      44 To the people then we sajr , I / earn from the past jo confide more in yoar principles , aid yourselves , than your leaders ; and , above all . look witbThope telhe apparent working of Providence as regards the destuaies of your native land . There are _ bright gtreaksvisiblein the horizon , —there are indications of the b <* st description . In snch a state of society as tmrs , it is of more importance to ofaserre what the people themselves are doingf— than what their -political leaders are planning . In political matters let the people cling to their principles—maintain boldly their princi ples—advocate , constantly and extensively , but temperately -their principles ; and let them bear the trite but wholesome adage constantly in mind , that *

      ....--u Magna est eriies , eiprtrvalebit . ' ' JLet them , bowever , always beware of doubt&il characters , of trimming pofiricians , of liberal Gouserotires , " the modem Sphinxes , with human visages joined with the bodies of brntes . Let them always demand of any one who claims favour and confidence at their " hands , whether his vie' ^ s are -dear and consistent on fondamentol points . Two or three leading principles , at least , ought to be kept constantly in view j and . every candidate for jrabb' c favour tested by them . But , further , while the peo ^ pie rely peacefully oatteir principle . * , let tliem for the triumph , of those principles , depend , under God ' s blessing , majxit oxtbeib ows exektioxs . " Of the literary articles " The Yello * r Plush Correspondence'' is amusing , but terrftly overstrained . " Onr Club at Paris " is a siliv thine .

      The long dissertation on Hauroads will require more time for a . careful reading than we can afibrd ibis week .. - " Ensign 0 \ Doaogbue ' s Packet from Belgium " is irresistibly comic in several of its scenes and situations . -. - ¦ " The character of Cofly , the Irish serrant , is finely drawn . There ^ are some other pieces which we have not had time tc read . .

      Lite rs Loxikts . —I bad been about twelve months ** upon town . "' * and had the feliciry of owing drrers sums totaSor ? , bootmakers , tatter ^ < fcc . j and when I knew not where to torn for casli , I was agreeably surprised by X—— and the Impulsive proposing a scheme to pay all my debts without costing me a farthing . The scheme was this : X—— bad biHa of exchange for all sums and at all dates , I was to indorse these to my several creditors , andtake the difference ; for instance , sav I owed Hohby £ 89 ,-1 took bin a b 3 I with * only a few weeks to run for £ 150 , drawn b y Jack Xokes upon the Honorable Mr . - "; Hobby shook bis bead at the -acceptors name , but was satisfied ( knowing my

      family ) with the indorsement ; 1 received £ 70 , wMch I ha&ded over to X . This being done 5 n eight or -ten different places , I imagined myself out of debt , and baling obtained a supj > ly of money , went on as beedlessly as ever . There is one peculiarity about all MLs of exchange—they become < 3 ne j so it was with mine . 3 w > t one of zhe many acceptances I Tiad endorsed to my creditors were honored ; all came upon me . One sunshiny morning the Impulsive entered my bed-room ; " The game ' s-Q p ,-eld Tar , " said he - "you must toddle . " The English of which was , I must get out of the way to avoid arrest . I ^ d so ; dodged into Surrey , Sussex , Kent , < fcc Again the subject of wedlock was renewed , hut this i firmlv negatived , and within

      one fortniglic Bob coolly showed me the Gazette , amid the list of bankrupts , in which , my name appeared , with the description of ~ picture dealer . " It was when X and Ids friends explained to me how " 1 ihsuld be pulled through , " that my eyes irere first opened to the mass of perjury by which this was to be effected . The parnes bad my acceptances on Trhich tliird , fourth , and fifth holders were to proTe , and then sign my certificate , they , in numbers and amount swamping my real creditors Though my credit bad been destroyed , and my character semewbat injured , I was really guiltless of any premeditated wrong , and resolutenr opposed all the scheme * that were " to make me right as a

      tmeu" Such were the -state of things when my uncle Jeremiah came to-town . Reader I was—asl did , and you may imagine—once-more free . I was truly gratefcl to Jeremiah , and bore witii " old dot , and carry oae , ' as Bob called . him in his moods-He had received a letter from my fether , requesting to know the extent of my embarrassments , with a view to their liquidatibn , and tbento bring me back . I gave the list , concealing obIj some tnfles ihst I was asBamed to add—tiiose irifles formed -my annoyance for years . Matters were happily in " train for my rerorn ; I wished , though I dreaded it ; the places were hooked , and I bad chatted over my intended journey with X- — , when my trusty friend

      Thorougigood arrested me at the suit of Madame : ( the lady who had vowed ier heart's affection to me ) for £ 220 , "due unto her for board , lodging , and money leat .

Atsncb moments a prison is only another jaame for Pandemonium . My cash was esAausted—trinkets , clothes , soon wenV and I . was at last reduced to the common costame of the prison , iny dressing gown , and

      lndescnbables . I resolved to perish , rather than again apply to my femily : and was then cbummed with Liept . JF ^; heliaa " sold his balf pay , and became like myself pennvless . It was the morning of the third day which we bad passed without food , the only luxuries we bad indulged in being one pot of porter , for which be obtained credit at the tap , and a pipe whkb " *» ' snbked by turns . Possibly , reader , you have never felt hunger—I have to excess . It is when Qie craving bas passed away , and sickness , and inertness succeed , that it becomes dangerous . Its effects on my frame was to render me utterly indifferent to life ; I had not energy sufficient to write a note , for there were yet those who would have lent mea trine ; I felt as if I could willingly sleep into nothingness . Tbe action on the lieutenant was very different ; on the third morning he broke into frightful denunciations against Providence and the

      world ; be recounted all Es perils in tbe Peninsula , his want « , bis dangers , and then , with a passionate flood-of tears , aunost screamed out , " And bere , bere's Jacb H— perishing in gaol for very bunger . " I have reason to know that he was a fearless soldier , but want ba 4 utterly subdued him—he wept like a child . At lasthfi started up , and darted out of the room . I deemed it a fit of madness , but lacked eneigy even to look from the window what direction he was going . He returned in about ten minutes loaded with food—be had rashed to tbe Marshal ' s bouse , " and in the frantic energy of want told our situation ; Mr . Jones bad presented him a sovereign . A day or two after this , I received an anonymous letter inclosing ten pounds ; wbo my unknown ftiend was I vainly endeavoured to guess , but assuredly bad that timely succour not arrived , this scene would have closed the adventures of A MAN ABOUT TOWN .

A better idea of the effect oi all this upon a stranger eannct be conveyed than by the flowing aoecdote of an officer who visited "New South Wales on leave of absence from bis regiment in India . —Having gone with a friend , iu a gig , from Sydney to tbe races at Paramatta , they were passed on the road by many genteel equipages , including close carriages ,

      curricles , and landaus . In answer to tbe stranger s questions , bis companion informed him that one Imlliant ' set-out belonged to Sam Sucb-a-one , who had been a convict , but was now a free man , and a man of fortune ; that another was the property of a convict , wio kept a draper's shop in Sydney , but was assigned to . his wife , who bad brought out with him a large sum of moDey ; that a third belonged to a ticket-of-leave-man , who had obtained that . indulgence almost immediately after bis arrival in tbe colony—and so on . At the race-course , where " all

      the beauty and fashion" of felonry was assembled , the stranger / a astonishment was complete at the number of instances in which he obtained similar answers . After some graver reSeetions on so singular an exhibition , be ironically remarked , that he thought he had better return as soon as possible to India , for the purpose of there . committing some crime that -should subjectbim to a « bort sentence of ¦ transportation , for it really seemed-to him that that was the bestjray " of getting ou in the world . — -Mildie ' s Felonry of New South Wale * .

      A Mokxey of Discretion . —In a country -town , no matter where , there lived th * worthiest and most philosophical of old . bachelors , with a warm heart and a sonnd head , from whose well-powdered ¦ exterior bad dangled that most respectable ornament , a qneue . XDur bachelor entertained a . monkey ef such good breeding and no much discretion , that Jacko was permitted to make one at the dinner table , where he was seated on a high child ' s chair , nesrt to his master , and took off his glass of perry in the same time and measure of his patron , and in as good a style and manner asDomiDe Sampson himself-could have performed the feat . "Now his master's housekeeper made the best preserved apr icots

      inthe county , and , when the said apricots were enshrined in a tart , the golden fruit set off by the superincumbent trellis , a more tempting piece of dattiserie conld hardly be laid before man or monkey . One of these tarts enriched the board of a small dinner parly j " and wag put nearly opposite to Jaeko / wbo occupied his usual station .

      England can . be kept , I will not say w > mfortabl y > mtftom actual starvation on tiieir native swl ,. is it Ikot Ingb time for those means to be Tesorted to }? By taking a rerroi ^ ectirB view of their condition , it appears that for the last century it hai been gradually sinking , and that ere this , if public reports claim credit , thousands of our fellow-beings nave sunk into their mother earth for want of this neces-8 aries of life , wMcH'the earth has , as yet , producecl in abundance . What , then , I would ask , has been the cause of this disaster ? Has the earth ' s produce been consumed by a general conflagration , or swallowed up by a nughtjr earthquake ? No ! How then has it happened F But before I proceed , allow

      me to ask , have the great landed proprietors , the stock-jobbers , and the trading capitalists , suffered in any degree the growing evil of the times ? No ! How , then , 1 / aak , has it happened ? The reason is obvioni . The characters last mentioned have been the law makersV and Have iso formed them , as to rob the rest of the conununity , for their exclusive and individual aggrandizement . This is the cause , and nothing else . In proof of this , if proof be wanting , let ns look at the numerous arid expensive' wars , whicb they nave occasioned , and ask , what was their object ? Was it for the good of the people ?—to preserve them from thraldom?—or was" it to preserve , in some instances , those estates in their

      own hands , that were stolen from the quiet and peaceable inhabitants , at tbe time of the conquest , and given to them as a reward for plundering those inhabitants ; many thousands of the rightful heirs of wkoin are now pining away from starvation , whibt they , tbe knaves , vrith changed names , to avoid disgrace , are wallowing in luxury ? Now was not this the real object , and that only the pretended one as it respects the French , war ? And , as it respects the war witb the United States of America , what was its object ? And what is the object of the present one with Canada , but something equally base and dishonourable ; not for the gooti of the public , but against it . Who , then ,

      ought to bear the expense of those wars ? The people ? No ! surely not ! But those very cbaracters above mentioned have actually imposed the whole of it upon the people , and sometlnng more . Tiiis may appear strange , but it is nevertheless true . You are aware , that after the conclusion of the French war , the taxes of the nation were confdderably augmented . Tlus , according to the rule prenousiy and unreasonably laid down by themselves , brought upon them an additional burden ; and feeling that inconvenient and impolitic , according to their notion of policy , find haying the power to alter it , they set to work in right good earnest , and carried a measure tbrougb Par-Sament , best known to the people . by the appellation of the Corn Laws , in consequence of

      which , they were enabled to double , and in maty instances treble , and more than that , the rents of their property ; by which means , . " "I said before , they hot only imposed the whole of those taxes , but something more , upon tbe people , turning a national calamity into an aristocratical blessing . Many other laws , equally cruel and oppressive , might be enumerated , in proof of the cause of the people ' s miseries , beiug thu exclusive privilege of a fraction of tbe people to legislate for the whole . But enumeration is unnecessary . Coinmou sense niust perceive , and honesty owu , tlmt so long as the legislative power is wholly confided in the hands of the aristocracy , — men whose prejudices and

      interests are opposed to the good of the public , — tli © - miseries of .- , the mass will be contiinmlly magnified . Whether they be termed Whip , Tories , or anything « l « e , is a matter of no consequence . They are beasts of ' prey , without humanity , mid without mercy ; and , therefore , if the masses do not immediately combine , -with spirit ; vnd delermination , to have tLeir right in legislation , the result is evident . They will be slaves of the most degraded order . Look at the hellish design of our rulers , after a long run of unequalled niisnile and oppression , by which a vast proportion of tbe useful people of fliese realms , the labourty * - , have been rednced to a state of destitution ; and by the

      continuance of which , all so < m will be . ibey liavo made a law called the Poov Law Ameudmeiu Act , tbe manifest design of ' winch appears to be the deprivation of the rest of ( lit ; community of every eartblv comfort . Bnjjtilesare to beerecte'd , haviiiif a small yard , surrounded bv an bigb and Vol ' ty wali , over wluch" nothing can be seen except tbe arch of hea » -en ; for that . situation , the labouring men of England are to exchange their liberty to range abroad , and view the various scenes of mature and art . Their wives , here .,- are to be taken from them , not may more to be seen or spoken to—their children , also , th ^ ir theme ofL c-jiieolation and object of their tenderest feeling * , more d « arto them than even life itself , are to be separated jrom both , and put into tbe hands of some monster , in hunian shape , I allow , whose feelings for the little infant will probably" resemble mon that of a wolf towards a

      lamb—for sura I am , that no one possessing human feelings , will be tool or iustrument in that cruel estabbsbment . In this nethermost hell , the cousolation of the dissenter , arising from tb »» religions ceremonies to wkicli lie has beeu accustomed , is to be cut off ; and last of jul . though perhaps not least , the inmates of ' this infernal abode are to live , or die , from a diet of loid . - per week . All this iu consequence of poverty , which has been forced upon them , by laws of robbery and extortion . Now , after this , I say to every man , wilt thou be a slave or a freeman ? If a slave , as above described , say the power of ] egi . < l : ition shall remain in the bands of the aristocracy ; but if a freeman , say I will have iny right , or lo . e my life ; for n life " of misery is worse than death . In conclusion , I would therefore say to the people of Englaiid , Universal Suffrage , or right , eml it which they will , oriie . oriy universal slaverr . is the approaching condition of their country .

      I remain , Gentlemen , Your ' s most obediently , JOHX BEAUM 0 X 1 Meltham , 14 th February , 1 ^ 8 .

      ¦ ip . . . TO THE EDITORS OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Gen'ti . emex , —I am one of those -wlio bave seen the time when all manufacturing labour was performed in the habitations of the workmen , andwhat is more , when all tbe carding , " all the spinning , and aU * lie wearing , were performed by the human hand ; . all carding by a single pair of enrds , one worked in each band ; all spiuning by the single thready and all weaving by tbrovring the shuttle from tbeoDeband to tbe ofiier . In those ds . yn each particular family went to work in the morning whenever it suited their own pleasure or convenience , and also left it at any moment they pleased . Parents bad their children under their own car « ,

      duriDg their infancy , and under . ' their own training and management during their minority , and apportioned their tasks according to their own discretion . Now , so far as the Factory System extends , both parents and children are summoued by their taskmasters to . their work at a much earlier hour in the morning than they bad previously been , and are also confined much closer through the day , and compelled to be more active and more diligent , and , after all , confined a greater number of iiours each day , than they have previously- been , so that , in fact , the Factory people are now compelled to perform , almost , if not quite , twice as much work m the course of a year as they performed previous

      to the introduction of that machinery of which we boast so much , . and whose power is said to be many times as great as all buman power put together , and yet after all , what have we to do now , as a people , more than we had to do then ? We have now onl y food , raiment , and other necessaries to produce , and we bad all ihose things to produce then ; and what is the most wonderful of all , and lamentable as well as wonderful , that we have far , far more bunger , nakedness , and theft in existence bow , than we had in the days before this machineryWas introduced . Are not all these facts proof positive , that we . have totally lost all that kind of wisdom which Is necessary for the guidance and direcoon of nationaraffaira ? - ¦

      If tbe interest * of the working classes bad been properly represented iu Parliament , during the last seventy years , I verily believe , that their tasks , instead of being dovbled , might have been reduced onehalf ; and their necessaries and comforts have been doubled . 1 have been told that the annual produce of the Kingdom , if equally divided , would amount to 10 s . a . week , for every man ,, woman and child in the kingdom . But I should like to be iufonned how many families there are in onr boasted township , who havenot one-half of that sum : and also what they have fo pay'for rent out of their present pittance .
