      of tbia country cannot long rorriye , if the ^ mere ' party contentions , which have of late years agitated the nation , be not very soon , somehow or other , Imraeht to a close , 1 have , as yon axe uware , appealed to the fathers of the people , to the nobles Of the land . To them I have appealed in yam . They are fast afleep in the arms of Infidelity , and We forgotten that " CBWstixsvrsupartand parcel qf the law of Esolasb . " They axe bhnded by the spirit of darkness , which tells them , and thpy believe it , " that labour and poverty are oroained by God to be for ever united" ( Melbourne ;> -that , " to make any legal provision for the poor , is attempting to overturn the original decree of the Cragkor of the tmiveree" ( FitzwilHamO—n&j , even that , ' Charitable ¦ news are most ruinous in s Government : ( Hadof this- country cannot long surviye , if the _ mere

I tarn from the Infidel peers of a Christian nation , to the people who . have not yet swallowed the contents of ( he poisoned chalice of Infidelity , believing that they will listen to me , whilst I endeavour freely and boldly to assert the Truth ; and whilst I call upon them to awake their fathers out of their death-like dream . The names of Tory . Whig , and Radical have so long ranged the people of England * mder . party flags , that the National Union Standard has been laid by , as a thine forgotten . The interests of the , p # >/>/ . £ > have

      been merged in the emoluments of partisans ; the princi ples of the Constitution have been overturned "by the expediency of her enemies , the national rightold-fashioned English feeling has been banished from our breasts by the rancour of party , and we have ceased to feel for each other as brethren . " We are do longer a band of patriots , as our forefathers were ; we ^ are disjointed and distracted , we are broken and divided ; we are enfeebled and well nigh destroyed ; andshallbecome ( Ifwe donotsoon discover our error . ) an easy prey to that power , whichhas caused onrdisnnionibr the purpose of constimin ? our strength , —to

      mat power , which has alone gained by the ruin of millions . The power I allude to is neither Tory , Whi ? , nor Radical . It has insinuated itself into every party , —nay , it boasts , at this moment , that all the leaders of each political sect are its votaries ; and thns , toadvance its own interests , and to delude the people , it marshals the one party against the other in . hostile array , —taking care , ' however , that the close of every conflictsbaU find itself advancing in station , ajid bear witness to its own progressive advance , influence , and strength ; whilst the people , with the constitution , are gradually sinking into slavery and lecav .

      Ask von what that tower is r See it enthro ? ied in France— established on the miseries of millions J sitppon ' edhj the bayonets of hundreds of thousands of mercenaries !—and dazzling , at this moment , a nation of " slaves , with the glories of an African cono-aest !! In E . vgu . \ d you will find it in the portfolio of every ministry , estranging the aristocracy frorn the people—teaching the people to despise xheir constitutional rights and privilegespoisoning the minds of the agricultural and manufacturing employers against their respective labourers and servants—and compelling the latter to recognise an enemy in the very man under whom they earn their tv daily bread ; * "—placing a barrier between , the people and the monarch , whose young and mmd

      guileless they attempt to occupy with a ceaseless round of empty andheartless pleasures . Yon may rpad it in the midnight assassin statute , empowering Ministers to spurge the land with // v / consntntional metropolitan police ; in the accursed New Poor Law j and in the intended establishment of a rural [ police , which waits only for a favourable opportunity , to deprive you of your last remaining rights . ^ Do yon ask rhe name of the monster ? Go to the . Stock Exchange , and read it in every forehead- It is covirrorsxEss ! It is Infidelity . ' which grasps at power , that it may obtain wealth ! which lays iti fangs as remorselessly , and as surely , on the arisrocrat , the farmer , the old fashioned English merchant , the manufacturer , and the shopkeeper , as it does on the humblest labourer ! Its

      cunning enables it to do this , by exciting'the jealousies of each aqainsi the other , and by keeping them in a perpetual war , abont Tory , Whig , and Radical , whilst it—unnoticed by anv—rob ~ s and enslaves them all ! This power or spirit—monster or demon , call it by what name yon will , is entirely / weifM to every English , to eser y Christian feeling-, and to everv patriotic principle . It tak . es every form—arrays itself in every colour , and assumes everv dWriise . Its object is to confound and to mislead , in order that it may destroy --its cries are ever , " Give , give , "—" more , more , "" more labour for less honey , "'—" more goods for less ca-h . "

      The old English tradesman is already banished by its influence ; the "live and lei live" principle is extinct . That feeling of good-will between the Government and the People—between landlords and farmers—between farmers and labourers , and manufacturers and mechanics , which was formerly the glory and the strength of Exgi ^ so , has been supplanted by jealousy and her sister haired ; and each one is note only esteemed by another , in the exact ratio that he can be made condncive to the acquirement of wealth . The spirit of which I speak may be ? een personified in onr manufacturing towns , in every foreign mercantile establishment , instead of onr old English Christian merchants , who really wished the native

      manufacturers to thrive , we now see a race of foreign Infidels , usurping their places , whose only destre , a . nd ¦ whose interest it is , to feed upon the spoil of our workshops . In every town you may see this spirit embodied in " Cheap Shops , " established by it . * votaries of the " Slaughter-house system , " who " avail themselves of the miseries and the misfortunes of our manufacturers , and buy up , at half cost , the stocks of our insolvents ; and , by selling them at reduced prices , prevent the fair trader from entering the market . " The Slaughter-house establishments " have drjven our old merchants from the home market , as the foreigners , now settled-in England , are fast

      driving them from the markets abroad . The race of old English shopkeepers is well nigh superseded by the flashy dealer , who dazzles and decoys by . the tempting glare of ticketed , showy , cheap goods . This anti-English spirit has been lately exhibited in the exportation of our improved machinery , and of our yarn ; thus giving foreigners evpry facility to S » in their own yarn , and in the meantime furnishing them with pur yarn lo weave , —whibt our own weavers are in tfie last stage of destitution and despair . Nay , this is not enough ; the monster power , has opened our ports to our foreign rival manufacturers , who are now allowed to compete against onrselves , in our own markets .

      You may trace the murderous steps of this monster in the" famine , which is produced by its influence , amongst onr Highland brethren , thousands of whom have been forbidden bylaw to avail themselves of nature ' s spontaneous gifts , "which are cast by the -waves on the Northern- snores . Thus , as the lamented Sadler once assured me it would do—has it deprived them of their " dail y bread . " The spirit alluded to has insinuated itself into all our manufactories—the object of our manufacturers no longer being to make a useful , good , substantial article—but as showy , as cheap , and consequently as deceptive and fljm ? y an article as possible . The labourers vniversully find this spirit overpwrering them—in longer toil , and in less wages ; or , by being thrown altogether out of employment . The cowardly but deathly grasp of this demon powcr ' is felt bytbe poor white English slaves , those industrious children of the poor—the Factory Children . ' Its sra « p

      is embittered too , in their case , by the fact , that in very many instances , the hand , which pretends to lead them in the path of Christianity and of useful "knowledge , . is the szme which is secretl y str iking the poisoned dagger to their hearts . It deludes them with tales of woe about the heathen and the blacks—and betrays them into a slavery more bitter and more hpavy than that , which in others , they bemoan . It leads them the shortest , though the roughest way to death , while telling them of Jesus ' love to little ones J Oh it is a cruel , lying , deceitful power ! , - Perhaps , however , its last measure is its bloodiest —the Poor Law Amendment Act!—An act of Charity forsooth . '—To force the poor to live on coarser food—or leave the land of their "birth ! To dissolve the marriage , the parental and the filial bonds !! To imprison the poor , that in charity , in secret , it may poijon them by hundreds J A Law (!) forsooth to trample on the prerogative of the monarch , and to destrov the right of the subject !

      Sometimes it is the interest of this monster to assume the garb of patriotism , and prate about liberty . Then you find it rousing and exciting the people against the aristocracy , calling them tyrants , borough-mongers , and I know not what : then treason is loyalty ! and rebellion isjPATRioTiSM But no sooner have the people answered its deceitful ends by hel p ing it to humble the aristocracy , than it turns to the terrified peers , and assures their lordships . " that they will lose their estates , if they do not plunder and oppress the poor . " Then the people are insulted in the ears of the aristocracy by the very man , who , but a few -weeks before , bowed down and worshipped the " mob . " They are -by him called ^ idle , lazy , and dissolute , and are judged , trithout having been heard in their oicn defence , to be nnworthy of a home in England The same month which promised to emancipate them , doomed them to slavery and death !

      Nay , so deceitral is this spirit , that it sometimes assumes the plaintive strains of humanity . It was thus that it pilfered twenty millions from the labourers of England , nnder the pretence of releasing eight hundred thousand human beings from slavery , but , in reality , its only object was to fill the " pockets of its votaries—the mortgagees and owners of slaves J - "No tithes , "—" no church rates , " are sometimes its war cry , and still , the people are repaired to aid ; but , when" the battle is ended , the gams of church plunder are not given to the poor , they are indeed for the moment pretended to t > e dwtnbxited amongst ths landlords , the real motive Ming , nowever , to

      , tne clergy and piandering and murdering the paupers , jtw not intended to allow them to pocket the wages of this their iniquity ; hut that now' the spirit which they have fallen down and worshipped , requires that "the Corn Laws shall be repeated . " ^ es , fellow-countrymen ! when the mortgagees have entirely secured themselves , by stripping the church and the poor , then they " will laugh at the siDy . proprietors , who have aided them m robbing the poor and the clergy , and will demand that the people shall be fed upon '' cheap foreign corn . The consequence will be , that rents will be unmediatery reduced at least one half ; thus will nine tenths of the landlords be at once reduced to pauperism , the " out door relief to the pensioners

      musttnen be withdrawn , and we shall have Lord Brougham at the head of a host of " idle , lazy , and dissolute" peer-paupers , driven into the oastiles , there to enjoy the reward of their own villany , feeding on " skilly , " and dying of Asiatic ( ' ) cholera . The landlords will deserve it , no one can , or will , pity them : and , if the gain were appropriated to the working millions , no one would rejoice so much as I , being perfectly sure , as I am , that the people would restore the plnhder of the Church .. 1 know , however , that the selfsame spirit , which shall succeed in -thisJobbery will , if not prevented , ' take care that the labourers shall receive no benefit . Their labour will be still unprotected ; and , until they can succeed in obtaining a legal protection for their labour , which their

      orefathers had secured to them , by law , it is absolutely impossible that they can be benefitted ; however cheap corn maybe , their labour will be equally , if not more cheap . This the freetraders know full well , " more labour for less money" is all they aim at . The plonghboys will be driven by thousands into the workshops , and destitution will still be the " test" for all . "More goods for less money "— -will be all the benefit , either to the manufacturers , or to their workmen . But let it progress ! let the end come ! then will the Aristocrats * the manufacturers and the working millions know , that their interest is all one and the same . Yes , fellow countrymen , I do believe that it is impossible to touch the p ride or the honor of a race of nobles , who are willing to become the slaves of their own creatures—the Poor Law

      Commissioners . ' of Lords Lieutenant , who can allow their rights to be invaded b y the tramping servants of three commissioners ! or ot magistrates , who think it no degradation to obey the mandates of a hired menial' . Their honour is fled ! their , national pride is extinct ? But oh , they are still sensitive , —they are still vulnerable in their pockets . They are norv assailable in that one point only ! So , people of ExGLAxn i hate-at them ! ana , in-order" to open their eyes , demand foreign corn . This-will ' as effectually wind up our state affairs , as " payingno more taxes ;' and it is proposed by the selfsame person . But , take care , fellow countrymen , ' that in the mean time , you are not bound hand and toothy a . rural police . The spirit of the age k no WS , that thut force will be required for the completion of his scheme . Dissappoint him there , and , when the Corn Laws are repealed , the game icill be once more in your hands—and then , may God give you wisdom to restore safeti /

      and comfort to the cottage , the mansion , and the palace , by taking care that a settlement of our national affairs be Mm made on equitable terms . TJien , it will be just , and , if you resolve to be no more deluded , it will be easy to " place yourselves in a po-ition , in which "Free Trade" " may not be injurious to any of you . V- "ith our heavy taxes , our expensive establishment ? , our ponderous national debt , iti 3 rwi / xw « &fethat we can maintain a " Free Trade" with foreigners , unless we are content always , as at present , to sacrifice all the comforts of our labourers and mechanics , at the bidding of that Demox , which has already ground them down so severely . Never mind , however , Fellow-countrymPIl , —the game ^ is irorth trying . The Aristocrats have disinherited the people—and now , my Lord Fitzwilliam has told them , that the price required for their temerity is " Free Trade in Coiin . " Once

      more I say—have at them ; but keep your eyes wide open , and resolve to die , rather than to submit to a Frenchified Rural Police . If you once permit a Rural Police to . be established , the power to take advantage of the Free Trade juggle , will no longer be in your bands , and you will then assuredly have to fight for your rights , or to submit to be slaves . . Fellow-coantrymenj—I have endeavoured to explain to yon the causes of yon * sufferings ; to disclose the secret power , which is the main spring of all your party bickerings . I know that there are honest patriots in all parties ; but they are bewildered and led sstray , by those designing men , who are in reality all of one creed ; and v ? bo know that it is

      needful to carry different colours , and to adopt different watchwords , in order to mislead and betray the whole people . I have said that the leaders of every party are the votaries of this anti-English , anti-Christian spirit ; that they are all the Apostles of one creed ; and that their battle is agaipst land , manufacture , and labour . If you still resolve to follow them , their victory will be gained , by alternately warring with one party against the other . The Parliamentary leaders of every party are M althusians ! They are worshippers of capital ! In their eyes the farmers , manufacturer ? , and labourers , are only valuable , so long as their produce can be turned . to the profit of the money change ! It matters not to them what misery and . distress overwhelm the

      prodo cers , goad them on to unnatural and unbearable exertions . They stand idly by , withmoneybags in hand , and claim and obtain , at the p rice of honor and of life—the whole profits of the industrious community . Their creed is , " tbatlabour and poverty are ordained by God to be twin sisters ; " " that nature has only provided for so many persons as the wealthy require , for their comfort and . convenience ; " " that the people have no natural , no constitutional , or legal right to dwell in the land , and be fed . " " That the presence of the poor is only endured by suffer a nee ' , and that patriotism requires that they should either emigrate , or be imprisoned , and deprived of every comfort ; nay , that it is charity to seem to feed them with slow poison . "

      Thisis the creed of them all : Whig , Tory , or Radical ; Churchman , Roman , Catholic , or Dissenter , it makes no difference ; by Malthus they swear , —his accursed principlejthey adopt : —they defy God , and they dare to murder his pow . ^ You see 1 speak quite out—it is time to do so . Our religion and our country are the stake . These men may perhaps consider themselves safe in acting as they please ; they may deem , themselves to be a sort of ** chartered libertines , " wearing different dresses , and avowing different creeds , who are at liberty to do what they like . Still , however great the support they may receive , and however great my sufferings in opposing them—nay , however unsuccessful my efforts may be in exposing what I considfirto be their villany , 7 will never be deterred from the fearless

      performance of what 7- believe to be my dutyv Some of you may hitherto have trnsted in Melbourne or Russell , Radnor or O'Connell , others in - Brougham or Hume , whilst many of you have no hope in any but Peel . To me they are all alike—they are all of one creod—all sworn on one book , the Book of Malthus ! -which gives the lie to the book of nature and to the word of God . Many of yon , my former friends , who now call yourselves "Conservatives" will perhaps start when I include a PEELin the anrj-Englisnlist . SADLER / $ arf ? utf a more determined foe . Never did Peel support that benevolent and patriotic Christian Statesman in any of his measures . Nay , I know that thousands of Sir Robert ' s dupes hate him : many a "

      Conservative "has told me , " that Peel had done more harm than any other man ; " but , 8 tUl they follow him , —still they toast him , —though * till they suspect , and consequently detest him . " Conservatives J" ye , who were once proud to call yonrsehes Tories , ! address myself now more especially to yon . I have suffered much in your cause , I have a right to your attention ; 1 now claim it . . Who , to increase nis own fortune , notwithstanding the warnings of his venerable father , ruined thousands of industrious landlords , farmers , ban kers , manufacturers , tradesmen and labourers , by his insane " cash payment bill , " unaccompanied as it was , by an equitable adjustment ? It was Peel , who , after having sworn to defend the Protestants Church , basely betiayed her , and delivered her , bound hand and foot , into the hands of O'Conxell ? It was vour net Peel ! And who ,- seeing that

      the New Poor Law can never be enforced without jl bubal roues , has declared his willingness to assist the Whigs in establishing that UN-constitutional force ? I ask you , is it not Peel ? Nay , who , Knowing the unpopularity of those two measures , is now waiting ( and this , more than any other act proves his meanness , cowardice , and treachery . ) to aid his political opponents to establish them , before he Mcks them out , and takes their places ? I ask > o » again , is it not your present leader Peel ? Then we shall have the Peelites restored to office , with the nation "bound hand and foot by the Whigs ; and Peel will reply to all our grumblings " These are not my measures ; they are G BEy's and Melbourne ' s , " or perhaps he will lead off the Tories of his own creed , ( and sorry Tones they have been , ) and , unite the Whigs and the "Conservatives , " against the old Tories and the people , and hen endeavour to enslave them both 1—The

      . , ; ( as you soon may ) follow them—stand by them-and then you will never again need to be afraid Of speaking with your enemies m the gate . I have said that Peel has been the means of keeping your best men in the back ground , and of sflencing them . Read the following : ~ , . A certain Baronet , who had been many years in Parliament , and a long time in officeLunaer Peel , had scarcely ever opened his mouthin the House . I knew this gentleman to be a very sensible , talented man , but I had fancied , althoagh he conld speak , well . and fluently in private , that inpnblic he could not speak . At length , it no happened , that he offered himself to represent fa populous borough . During the contest , h * w «

      obliged to address large bodies of people , and of con stituente . I then found that he was really a very superior public orator . Being acquainted with his brother , I expressed my surprise to himj ani said , "How is it that Sir J . should ^ have been so long in Parliament , and never have spoken , except on one tjuestibnf awd that only two Or three times ? How is it ? I had fancied that : he was no speaker , — -and now I find , that , if he had been practised , he would have been as able a debater as Sir Robeut Peel . " My friend answered— ' My brother * you know , was ( mentioning his office ) , and the business of that office is seldom introduced in . debate , —and it is Sir Robert ' s plan fo keep his svvsiacfc and never to

      allow them to speak , ' save on matters relatilig to their own particular departments , " I rejoined , " That explains to me why the Whigs ^ with scarcely any talent , should be able to beat the Tories in debate , in spite of the overwhelming 1 ability of the Tory benches . 7 Xe # push their ^ young men forward —Sir Robert keeps msback . " I said much more ; but now , " Conservativesj" what say you to your leader ? The above anecdote is true ; and I am sure that the Baronet I speak of , would have been a much greater statesman than Peel , if he had not been tethered and tongne-tied by Ms master , whose only proof of greatness has been displayed in having sunk his own party , which was , before he became its leader , the strongest parly in the State \ He has succeeded in

      ioing what the Whigs in vain attempted— -he has destroyed the party which had ruled the nation for more than fifty years ! , Tories , I a . « k you seriously , what has Sir Robert Peel done for yon ? Tell me one measure that he has proposed which has served your cause . He has dirided you and sunk you , and made you ashamed of your name , and ' . that is all which Peel has done for the very party which worship him . It is useless to ask vrhat good hi has done for the nation ! I need not ask the Marquis of Chandob to tell how wonderfully Peel has befriended the flgncultun ' sts . ' nor the Earl of Winchelsea how bravely he has defended the Church J Tell me , then , ye Conservatives , who are now the fools— who the madmen ?

      For my own part , I would not give a . pin to chuse out of the whole seven I have named ; they are all Malthusjans—disguise themselves as they may . They are the enemies of land , of manufacture ^ and of labour;—they are the foes of Christianity—they are the curse _ of England .

      To Her most Gracious Majesty Victoria , by the Grace of God , of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland , Queen , Defender of the Faith . The Petition of the Loyal and Independent Inhabitants of the Borough of Oldham , in the County Palatine of Lancaster . May it please your Majesty , —' We , your Majesty ' s faithful and loyal subjects of Oldham , have on this'day of your Coronation , assembled for the purpose of shewing our firm attachment to your Majesty , and to those laws , and to that constitution , according to which it is no less your Majesty's pleasure than your duty , to govern the Kingdom of England .

      Viewing , as we do , with joy and satisfaction , the ascension of your Majesty . 'to the throne of your ancestors , we deeply regret that we cannot join with those of your Majesty ' s subjects who now celebrate that ascension with all ' the outward show of iinmihgled satisfaction . However much we may rejoice , and we dp most sincerely rejoice , that your Majestyis our Queen , our joy is saddened and embittered by our firm conviction , that the rights of the Crown , aud the rights and liberties of the people , are

      trampled in the dust by corruption and treachery . In such a state of things we consider it deceitful and disloyal to offer your Majesty any sort of cpngratulation . Being thus painfully situated , feeling that we ought not to let this day pass unnoticed , but feeling at the same time that we could not join in the rejoicing , real , or pretended , or otherwise , without doing violence to our sense of dqty ; we have come to the conclusion , after mature deliberation , that it would be most consonant with the circumstances of

      the case ; with 0 U 1 feelings of duty to your Majesty and to our fellow-subjects , and we dotibt not with your Majesty ' s feelings also , that we should in the best manner we may be able , lay before ypurmajesty oiie of the most unconstitutional , oppressive , and cruel of the manifold ^ grievances tinder which the crown and the people of this _ once glorious and happy , but now degraded and miserable kingdom , ef England , labour : trusting to the goodness and wisdom of your Majesty , under the blessing of Providence , to bring to yourself and your faithful people a speedy and happy deliverance . We therefore beg most humbly to submit to your Majesty , that it hasbeen the _ undoubted right of Englishirien-j from times to which the knowledge of

      man extendetb not to the contrary , to live in reasonable ease and comfort u ' pon the soil on which it has pleased God to put them ; that all the property and privileges of any of your Majesty's subjects are founded Upon , and subject to this right , that even the allegiance ( and obedience which are undoubtedly due to the Crown and to the laws of England are so due , and due only upon this condition , that that crown and those laws will afford full protection to the peop le in the enjoyment of this inah " enable right " , that this right has Ven most grossly , wickedly , treacherously , and cruelly violated , contrary to the peace , security , honour , and glory of your Majesty , your crowui and yeur dignity . That it is notorious

      that this unheard' ot wickedness has been perpetrated b j threepersonssitting in Somerset House , in the city of Westminster , and known by the style and title of "The Poor Law Commissioners for tngland and Wales ; " that these infamous persons , pretending to act under the authority and by the direction of an act passed in the fourth and niyfajearis of the reign of yourMajesty ' s lamented predecessor , have issued rules , orders , and regulations concerning the relief of the poor ; that under these rules , orders , and regulations , poverty has been treated as a prime ; your Majesty ' s loyal and dutiful subjects have been confined iU prisons , as a punishgunt for their runavoidable misfortunes ; husbands ^ pve been separated from their wives , an , d f children from their parents ; that in this their * state of unlawful imprisonment your Majesty ' s subjects hayebeen ill-treated , abused and ttiat in

      and insolted ^ very many instances ; particularly by means of food insufficient in quantity and pernicious in quality , whereby great numbers of your Majesty's subjects have been brought to premature ^ deaths ; that your Majest y ' spetitioiieriiare convinced if these horrible atrocities lie not put an end to without loss of time , the bonds of society can not much _ ¦ longer hold together ; and that even the stability of your Majesty ' s mrone will be endangered . ¦ *'" Tnev , therefore , most humbly and earnestly pray that your Majesty wilYbe graciously pleased to order that such Commission do cease to exiat , and that the three wicked & infamous persons aforesaid , be handed over to receive such punishments for their picked acts as . are by the laws of England , in that case provided , and as to your Majesty ^ a vrisdom may seenrmeet .

      And your petitioners , as in duty bound , will ever piay . " '¦ ' ' . . ¦ ¦ " '¦ ¦ ' ¦ . ¦ ' . - . •¦¦ : ¦ ¦ - ; . ¦' , . GOD SAVE THE QUEEN .
