      THE LAND" AND THE LEEDS MERCURY * GARBAGES mo Potatoes , venis " HISTORIES OP THB C 0 TT 05 THABE . " \ When the employment of our nnemployed labour and unproductive capital , upon the Boilsof our own country , under circumstances that will ensure independence to the labourer , has been advocated , aa the means of producing plenty for all , and removing the horrible mass of poverty and misery caused in the manufacturing districts by the labour-displacing-propess of machinery ; and in the agricultural districts , by the Big Jarm Bull-Prog system : when this plain , ample , easy , and practicable plan of

      relief has been proposed , rather than the enactment of a measure which will cause a farther " extension" of machinery in Hie manufacturing districts , and , by consequence , a further dispiacemenl of labourers ; and cause , too , the main portion of j the lands in the agricultural districts to be still lest cultivated than they are at present by the Bull-Frogs , and , by consequence , a still farther decrease " of the number of labourers employed in tilling the soil : when the friends to the application of Homb-Laboub for the production of Home-Food , have hinted that common sense dictated that it would be more judgematical

      to make our own Land produce the quantity of food required , lather than be placed in a position to be DSPBSDAKTon othere for that -which we could not do without : when this Boheme lias been advocated , both as a measure of sound national policy , and as the only meanB of real relief from the misery and destitution engendered by the present direction of our National Energies , a yell of f Tumnnr has been set up by the " Profound Political ' > Economists" as senseless as it has been loud . "England can not prodnce enough of corn . ** "She can not , BDCicsE she does not . " M Capital will always be employed in those pursuits that will give a return ; and it is clear that if a better cultivation of the

      Land would be more remunerative , more capital would be employed in that cultivation . " u We shall therefore always have to depend on the foreigner for a portion of our supply : and it is manifestly our interest to get it from him as cheap as we can ; and all laws tkat would prevent us from doing so , though passed to PROTECT home labour , are vicious in principle , andipjurions in practice . " Such are a few of the Cuckoo Bongs that are instantly sung , the moment a plain , simple , common-Eense , unpretending politician , ventures to speak of JThe La » d as a remedy for the national evil of non-employment , and as lhejjrs * and best field for the exeroise of National energy .

      It is m vain that you adduce factt in support of your common-sense positions . It is in vain that you shew that the Land is , in reality , untilled , com * pared with what it might be , by the aid of science and modem improved modes of culture . It is in vain that you point attention to the well-known-fact , that no pains have been taken , comparatively speaking , to encourage agricultural seiesce ; while every care has been had to foster "invention" and "improvement" in manufacturing machines , until the whole art is now almost wholly performed by inanimate means ; and chemical poicer applied to the

      perfection , in a few hours , of processes connected with manufactures which before-time occupied more than months . It is in vain that yon shew that the implements mainly used by the tiller of the soil , are the rude and ill-adapted ones of more than a thousand years make ; that few have turned their attention to the employment of the new lights of science in the construction of took wherewith to cause the earth to teem with plenty in abundance ; and that fewer still have striven to cause the far deeper and more general chemical knowledge we now possess to be employed in aid of agriculture . It is in vain that you

      show that the operations of our Bull-Frog Big Farm system tend to the bad-culture and no-culture of the Land ( even rude as culture sow is ); from the absolute impossibility of one man attending to the vanls of such an extent of surface as the Big Farm system causes him to have ; that he cannot have the requisite capital ; nor if he had , ( which is not at all desirable ) he cannot rightfully superintend the neceBeary operations from sheer want of time to attend to all and eaeb . it is in -rain that you show the baneful workings of our iniquitous law of primogeniture , which causes the Land to be locked up in th e hands

      of the few to the wrong and great injury of the many . It is in vain that yon demonstrate the evils to agriculture itsel / , attendant on the making of the landlord's land the qualification for ( the subservient tenant ' s vote . It is in vain that yoa prove , by actual experiment , what can be done untH the Land by improved implements , a judicious application of ohemical knowledge , and improved modes of cultare . It is in vain that you prove that it is possible , in all eases , to quadruple your produce , from land badly tilled , by tilling according to a lest : expensive mode . It is in vain that you show , by actual faot , that the produce may , in many instances , be increased leftfold , and more . It is in vain that you show that the rudest and most antiquated modes of culture are the

      most expensive and wasteful ; and that a less outlay of labour and capital , if judiciously and scientifically applied , would result in a far better return . It is in vain that you adduce , and prove all these things . The " profound political economist" heeds them not . Wrapped up in the axioms of his school ; crammed to the throat with the cuckoo sayings of his tribe ; stuffed with self-conceit and puffy vanity , almost to bursting ; big with disdain of all that is unpretending and " un-leamed" ; ' being , in Bhort , the actual embodyment of supercillionsness and coxcombery , your crick "profound political economist" will dispatch your facts with a sneer ; and forthwith spout a ** lot of theory" to PROVE to you * hal that vhtch you xxow has been done , could not BT POESIBIIJTT BE ! !

      Precisely snch an animal as this , is the " Profound Political Economist" of the Leeds Mercury ; and precisely in this manner has he met the advocacy of the employment of The Land to the removing of the destitution caused to the manufacturing and agricultural workers by his political economy . *' The advocacy of the employment of The Land to snch an end as we have just spoken of , is no new thing with the Northern Star . The letters of Mr . O'Consob in its pages have done much in the way o forming publio opinion upon the question , by directing public attention to it , and setting forth the advantages to be derived to all classes of society from a proper and useful application off labour ' s energies

      to our own soil ; and we trust that the many Editorial articles that have appeared , from time to time , and months ago , from the pen of the present writer , hare not been without their effect . The present position of Tbs Land question clearly shews that the efforts of its advocates have cot been in vain . It now occupies , in some shape « r other , the main portion of the pablio attention . What is the cry for , and the dread of , "fixity of tesnre , " hut the Land question forcing for itself a wajr through and amidst the M profound political economical" { nostrums of the day , shameing them out of existence by mere force of contrast 3 The battling « f * Rebecca" with "fixed tithes , taxes , and rents : " wkat is that but the Land

      question in another phase , struggling to get itself into Ue own andpeoper position ! Theuoto incessant advice from our u profound political economists" themselves to the agriculturalists , to telj more npon improved modes of culture for a return for their capital than apon protective laws , is ; but another indication of the general feeling in connection with tke due occupation and employment of the soil .- and AiB iadic&tion is all the more satisfactory , because tt demonstrates that the " profound" ones theL * TelZl ^ TZ 7 S ™** telk ^ "itwoHldbez ~^* tti = ttz fefiN / P the former i * e * chan ae for hi * ™ CA >

      cheaper agricultural prodtice , hoth corn and cattle ;" it demonstrates that tho " wise" men who could at onetime , j when the H manufacturing game * was " profitable ; " when it was leaving its thousands and its millions to the " masters , " and " more kicks than ha ' pence ? to the men ; it shews that even those , who could then spout this balderdash , and wish England a barren rook , are now forced , themselves , to consider upon * The Land question , and teach the farmer nowtonse his soil to produce more of national wealth .

      What ia the loud demand of the working people for a plain , i simple , and efficient pun for practical operations on the Land , but the effort of man to regain his natural position , from which he has been dislodged by the combined operations of high-taxation , paper-money , and an unduly-hot-bed-forced amount of manufacturing machinery ? Yes ! The Land question is THE QUESTION of the day ; and well ia it for the suffering poor that it has been bo Btrenuously and so successfully forced upon general publio attention .

      But what has all this to do with me , exclaims the M Profound Political Economist" of the Leeds Mercury . Why have you mixed me up with your Land question ? What have I to do with it , whether you choose to advise people to grow potatoes or not 1 Pray what connection has my " History of the Cotton Trade" to do with cabbages ! Softly , igood Mercury . Don't get ont of wind . You'll need it just now to blow your OWN Potatoes with , as they are just about to be served-up again , all hot "; and we intend you and ourselves to " discuss ? them together . You are a " dab hand " at growing them , we all know : let us see what sort ofa customer at eating you are .

      It was not long ago , Mr . Mercury , that you sneered at Mr . O'Connob , because he drew a perfectly legitimate deduction from a plain unmistakable fact of experiment : and you asked if it were " possible that any man in Europe could be bo ignorant , ^ to be imposed upon by such a monstrous mass of absurdities" ! The fad which Mr . O'Connor detailed , was , that Mr . John Linton , of Selby , Yorkshire , nineteen miles from Leeds only ( not in Japan ) ; had proved to himself , from actual practice ; from mctuai experiment ; that a little more than three roods ol land , wixh hose than one-third of it in grass , could be made to produce , after paying a

      back sent , and after paying taxes , and for seed , and f > x wear and tear of implements : Mr . John Linton PROVED to himself , that he could , from the abovespecified small extent of land , and that too not of the best quality , but far from it when he bsgan bis experiment , and with less than two-thirds of it in cultivation : the fact from which Mr . O'Connor drew his deduction was , that Mr . John Linton made manifest , at Selby , no further from Leeds than Selby—one hour ' s ride—that 4 , 021 square yards of land , with 1 , 350 square yardB of it in grass ; that thiB small extent , when partially cultivated , could be made to yield crops worth £ 57 , after paying back , rent , taxes , for seed , and for wear and tear of

      implements . ' Such was the fact narrated by Mr . 0 Connob , on the authority of Mr . John Linton himself , who is no stranger in Selby , which is only nineteen mileB from Leeds ; and the inference that Mr . O'Connor drew from that fact was , that if three roods of Land Would leave £ 57 , after payments aa above set forth , four acres cultivated in the same manner only : i . e ., with more than one * third of it in grass , would leave £ 305 . This fact , and the naturally-formed inference from it , the Mercury designated " a monstrous mass of absurdities" ; and asked " if it was possible for any man in Europe to be so ignorant " lyes , IGNORANT was the word !] " as to be imposed upon" by them 1

      It happened , however , that the profound" Mercury t had himself vouched for the accuracy of a much more apparent " monstrous mass of absurdities , " which made the doings of Mr . Linton , extraordinary as they appeared to the " Profound Political Economist * " to be a mere bagatelle , when compared with the doings of tbe " p otatoe-grower " of the Mercury .. We have , just now , to report some more " doings" of Mr . Joun Linton , who l ives at Selby ; and a portion of those doings relate to M potatoe-growing" too ;—( perhaps he has been

      trying to beat the Mercury with what buccobs we shall soon see ) . Indeed , the main object that we have in view is to chronicle those " doings" of Mr . LiNiojt , round-about as we may appear to go to work to accomplish that object . The fact is , that a bare sight of Mr . Linton ' s letter brought to mind the agricultural labours of the " froyovnd" Mercury * ' Potatoe-grower ; " and we could not refrain from cooking up " the mess" over again , and having a tete-a-tete with " the grower" while we " skinned his murphy" !

      We will very soon have Mr . Linton's account of hia new doings ; but it shall be by way of dessert . The meat : i . e . the feed , shall be the Mercury ' s own . Whether his potatoes are " meally" or not , will be best proved by the eating . First , then , for the sneer : and then the dish of "Prince Regents , " warmed-up , and seasoned with pepper , : 11 Chartist Prospects . ' —That very profound politician and political economist , Mr . Feargus O'Connor , isatpreBent engaged in developing a plan for tbe ad *

      Tancement of the wealth and happiness of bis followers , and for securing the success of the Charter . This scheme Is beautifully simple , and ifl comprehended In the single sentence—' " ( Jet possession of the land . ' Not all the land , that is unnecessary ; but each Chartist is to buy or rent four acres . Having accomplished this object , he is to set about the cultivation of his , farm , and the following he is assured will be the reward of his labours ; a large ironfounder , of the name of Linton , at Selby , in Yorkshire , tbe Chartists are told , cultivates three roods « f land , near tbe town of Selby , witb , distinguished success .

      "' And now , says Feargus , 'for the result of his experiment ; { we quote Mr . O'Connor's own words )—* upon this three quarters of an acre be last year fed two cowb and eight pigs , besides a quantity of poultry , and had vegetables for his table . We will suppose the eight pigs to consume as much as two cows , in order that we may come to something like a calculation of ralne . To do this he has not cultivated anything near the entire of tbe three quarters-of an acre and he gives bis labourer 3 s . a day for every day ' s work . Leaving ont , then , everything but the four cows , see what the profit of nineteen days' labour leaves , for that is , I understand , the number of days' work required for all Mr . Linton ' s operations up to tbe present time . If an operative : can now sell his labour for fifteen shillings a week , be considers himself a happy man ; and let us

      see by this scale what it would be worth . We must sot SDppose that Mr . Linton's bad ground possesses much charm beyond . that which labour can communicate , and the following is the result upon three quarters of an acre . He feeds , or could feed , four cows . Suppose snch cows to give six quarts of milk at a meal , for the sue summer months at 2 il . per quart , each cow produces : £ 18 4 s . worth of milk ; but to be under , take £ 3 4 s . from the prodnce of each , it leaves profit opou the four cows £ 60 for thirty days' labour , and IBs . rent / Tor this land ib not worth more than £ 1 the acre , or lbs . for three quarters of an acre . Now four acres cultivated in the same way , would leave , after deducting the £ 3 4 « . from the above moderate cost of production and price , the sum of £ 300 per annum , out of ¦ which , £ 4 for rent should be paid . '

      * ' Is it possible that any man in Europe can be so ignorant as to be imposed upon by this monstrous masd of absurdities ? And is it further possible that such a man Bhonld set himself up for the founder of a politieal sect i which is in due time to swallow up all other political parties , and to become Lord of the Ascendant . "— Leeds Merairj / , May 6 th , 1843 . Now , it might , in all conscience , be considered a full answer to the above specimen of Mercurial" profundity" to adduce the statement of Mr . Linton , aa to what he has actually done with his little ^ more than three roods of ground . It might be considered , and would be , a lull crushing answer to this sneering ** Political Economist , " to show that when Mr . Linton's three roods , partly cultivated , leaves £ 57 , after paying a" BACK-rent , " and payment of taxes too , as

      \ well as for seed , and wear and tear of implements , four acres cultivated in the same manner , and bearing the same rate of expence , would leave £ 305 ! ] as 1 have conclusively shown in tho foregoing part of this letter . This , I say , might be considered , and would be , a sufficient answer . But I will not leave it there . I will not content myself with that statement and that shewing . Mr . Linton is not the only one who has been tryiDg experiments with small portions of land . Othersrhaye turned their attention ! to tbi > matter , as well as Mr . Lintoa ; and x * m happy to be able to give the results of a series of *' experiments , " which fully bear out Mr . Linton ' e statements , and are besides hard "facts" which win tako all the " profundity" of the" Political Economist " of the Mercury t © overcome J Here is the statement :

The experiment * a&y be found very useful to those parties who cite jttrt now engaged 1 in cultivating small plots of ground . The plan b&B been pursued for two yean ; the month of March in both years being selected for planting .

      | " The land is rich black soil , clay , sand , and red earth , and In order to ensure a fair trial , six rows of each sot . t of potatoes were planted in different parts of tbe field ; and potatoes ; have been grown on tbe same land for four years , and the last crop has been the best . " Our correspondent formerly sent an account of 10 yards 19 inches producing 10 stones 5 lbs ., the tops weighing 7 stones 3 lbs . ; oat of 12 rows , measuring 10 yards each , he obtained 70 stones 5 lbs ,, or out of 129 yard , 98 S lbs . of potatoes : 24 of these potatoes weighed 28 lbs . ; " Aihtop Potatoes .--The ridges were twenty inches asunder ; Prince Regents . ... ... thirty inches . "

      Now , where does the reader imagine I have picked up this statement ? Where is it from ? From the Chartist , Mr . Linton 1 or from a Chartist at all . No ! It is from tho Heeds Mercury itself ! !! Tho " icorre 8 pondent" is the Mercury ' s own ; and the truth of this " monstrous mass of absurdities" is vouched for by the Mercury ' s " profound " self ! ; Let us examine this Btatement . Let us analyse it . Let us fee if it does bear out both Mr . Liuton and myself . One row , ten yards lon £ , produced , of Prince Regent ' s potatoes ( No . 8 , in statement ) lGOlbs . This sort was planted iu rows thirty inches apart . . A small plot of land , ten yarda long , and ten yards broad , making 100 square yards in all , would have twelve rows , ten yards long , producing 1601 bs . each row ; or l , 9201 ba . iu the whole .

      In an aero of land , there are 4 , 840 square yards . If 100 square yards produce 1 9201 bs , one acre cultivated in the same way will produce 9 ' 2 , 92 Clbs ; and four acres will produce 371 J 021 bs . : A bushel of potatoes is accounted to weigh 721 bs . ; when bought by weight , 721 b . is given to the bushel . , One hundred square yards will therefore produce 26 i bushels ; an acre will produce 1 , 290 bushels ; and four acres 5 , 160 bushels . Potatoes are now soiling , from the boats at Warehouse-hilt , in Leeds , at 9 i . for 481 bs ; i . e . la . lid . the bushelof 721 bs . This price is extremely low ; lower that has been known for a considerable period . The average price is accounted Is . 6 d . per bushel . I will , however , take the present market price .

      ; If one bushel of Potatoes sells for Is . Id ., the preduoe of four acres , 5 , 160 bushels , will sell for ^ 290 2 s . 4 d . !!! i Bravo H profundity" ! I estimated the yearly amount of produce of four acres , when cultivated sp as to give FIVE CROPS in thkee years , at £ 300 ; and THE " Political Economist" of the Mercury exclaims " is it possible that any man in Europe can be so ignorant as to be imposed upon by this monstrous mads of absurdities . " The Mercury himself shows from actual faot , from etern stubborn " experiment , " that four aches , wit . ' t only ONE GROP per year , will produce £ 290 2 s . 4 d . !!! Where now is the sneer ?

      ¦ Tbe Mercury's man has beaten Mr . Linton hollow ! His " monstrous mass of absurdities" are sober statements , compared with tbe " monster montrosit iea" of the Mercury . Let us examine each of them . i Mr . Linton's statement is , that upon 1 , 748 yards he produces 140 bushels of potatoes . The Mercury ' s Man produces upon 1 , 748 yards 466 bushels . ' ! . ' or MORE THAN THREE TIMES THE QUANTITY J Mr . Linton , with his mode of cultivation , keeps upon the produce of his little mere than threo roods , two cows and eight pigs . For ' the fake » f simplicity , in that letter from which the Mercury made his extract , I supposed the eight pigs to consume as much as two

      cows ; and assumed that the produce would maintain four cows . The Mercury ' s Man , if he could produce five crops in three years , with as great an increase upon Mr . Linton's produce as in the case of the potatoes , would be able to keep three limes the quantity of cattle t Should we say that Mr . Linton could keep four cows , the Mercury ' s Man could keep twel ve I Should we say , what is the actua fact , that Mr . Linton keeps two cows and eight pigs , the Mercury's Man could keep six cows and twenty-four pigs ! But should we gink the pins altogether , aathe Mercury seems to doubt

      the pig-keeping capability of three rooda of land , and say that Mr . Linton only produces food for two cows , the Mercury ' s man would find food for six !! Mr . Linton , with his two cows , and his 140 bushels of potatoes , calculated at Is . the bushel , shews a return for labour of £ 57 33 . 4 d ., after rent , taxes , seed , and wear and tear of implements has bp . en paid . The Mercury ' s man would have a return for labour of £ 171 10 a . for the little more thau three roods !! If he could do this with the amount of land Mr . Linton farms , he could produce from four acres the sum of £ SU 6 s . 2 d . ! i !

      And " THE Political Economist" of the Mercury , "profoundly" sneers at me for saying that the produce of pouii acres might bo made to amount to £ 300 . Let his * Profoundship' try again . " Now then we have had the "feed ' ; and a preoioas one it is , to say that it is provided at the expense ofa "( jwo / oand political economist . " We will now serve up the dissert , provided by a plain , " ignorant ' grower of" masses of absurdities . " Here it is : — ! " Selby , Aug . 17 th , 1843 . " Dear Sir , —I have now reaped the whole of my first crop of cabbages and potatoes for this year . Tbe following is the result . I have had 7400 early York cabbages from the plots « f lands Noa . 2 and 3 . On the 2 nd of June some of them weighed 7 lbs * each . I sold them to persons to retail at thirty-two fur a Bhilting . What I sold was the heart of the cabbage cut out ; tbe remainder

      Iigave to the cattle ; some weighing as . much as Pour pounds after : the heart was sold . I had a great number of people to see them ; and all declared they were the finest crop they had ever seen . No . 1 was planted witb j > otatoe 3 , called Early Maiza . I bave had this crop measured ; the produce was at the rate of 568 bushels per acre . I sold them at 2 s . per bushel . I bave now aa excellent crop © f Swedish turnips on the same ground , plot No . 1 . Oa the 13 th of June No . 2 was planted with Prince Rkgent potatoes . To all appearance , at present , THIS WILL be a most extraordinary crop . I never , in all my life , saw anything to equal it No . 3 is planted with Swedish turnips . They are the finest I have seen anywhere this season . Many of them are now as large as a cricket ball . I cannot even imagine to what an extent the land may be made to produce . The improvement in my crops every year is so great as to perfectly astonish

      me . " am , dea » Sir , yours , most respectfully , " John Linton . " Quantity of land , No . l ... 825 equate jard 3 . No . 2 ... 023 ditto . No . 3 ... 923 ditto . No , 4 ... 1350 ditto in grass . Total , ... 4021 - Ah ! Mr . Linton is not a " profound political economist "; or ho would have known that" improvement" in crops i 9 " impossible . " "It is impossible for us to grow / oo < f enough in England ; " " we don ' t ; therefore we can't . " buoh are the A XIOMS of " profound political eoonomy" : had Mr . Linton learned them rightly ; i . e . to the exclusion of all sense , common and uncommon , he would have had no doubt respecting the capabilities of the soil . His " imaginings" as to lt what amount the Land might be made to produce ' would have been very small ! ,

      Seven thousand four hundred cabbages from one thousand eight hundred and forty-six square yards of land ! and Lome of them weighing seven pounds each by the 2 nd of June 11 and at Selby too ! so near Leeds as Selb | y ! Really if this be true , and , done so near home ; odb home , and the home , too , of the man of " profundity" ; if this be even so , we shall begin to doubt some of the axioms of " political economy , " and entertain a faint idea that good Old England may ] yet be made to produce enough of food for us , without our having to set the Americans to work to keep our jaws going !

      It was only the hearts of his cabbages that Mr . Linton sold ; he kept the rest for " fodder ; " some of the " leavings" weighing do less -than 4 lba . each . Say that he had 2 lbs . each , from the whole 7 , 400 cabbages Bold - here would be food for a cow , for ninety-three days , at 160 lbs . a-day ; and this too , after sailing £ 12 worth of hearO : and all from a piece of Land only containing 1846 square yards . Verily Mr . Li . nton has cause to say , "it ia almost impossible to imagine what The Land can be made to produce . "

      We had heard of these cabbages , before Mr . Linton sent the account inserted above . It happens , as we have before stated several times over , that Selby ia only distant ! from Leeds some nineteen miles . It so happened too , that the main , or at least a large portion , of Mr . Linton ' s cabbages have found their way into Leeds market / Loads of them have been fetched from Selby to Leeds , by Leeds green grocerB , and sold to the Leeds Lieges in the Vicar ' s Croft market . -Many of the teeth of the "Leeds Loiners" have come in

      contact with Mr . Linton ' s " monstrous mass of absurdities " : but they have gotten through them , and they have digested better , and done more good , than any the * ' profound" man of the Mercury ever served up , always ekving and excepting his "dish" of " prime potatoes" ! But the cabbages are not all . There has been a crop , of potatoes ; and again there are crops of Swedish turnips and potatoes now on the ground . The potatoes are of the Mercury ' s own

      sort—Prince Regents . Mr . Linton says that " the crop promises to be a most extraordinary one ; " he never , " in all his life , saw anything like it . " Ah I he never saw the crop the " profound" man grew ! He never saw the crop at the rate of 92 9261 bs . per acre ! He has yet to hide his " diminished bead . " His " Early Maiia crop , " though most extraordinary for early potatoes , was only at the rate of 40 v 8961 hs . per acre . " Profundity" beat that 1 How matters

      will stand , when Mr . Linton reaps bis Prince Regents , remains to be seen . But we would seriously recommend the " Profound Political Economist" of the Mercury to run down to Selby to see them growing ] if he can spare so much time from hia ° profound * ' studies . He can then judge whether he is likely to he " done , " or not , in the matter of " tater growing ; " and , if necessary , hatch a " thumper" or two to get himself out Of the mess . It ought to be mentioned that the Prince Regent potatoes now growing in Mr . Linion ' s small plot of Land , were planted according to the directions given in Mr . O'Connor ' s work on the management of Small Farms . The number of that work containing

      the general instructions relative to potato-planting , reached Selbyjjuet about when Mr . Linton was ready for planting his Plot No . 2 with potatoes for a second crop . | He was much struck with the reasoning of Mr . O'Connor on the subject ; particularly with that portion of it contending for the great advantage of planting sets whole , and uncut ; . and these , too , the largest of the sort of potato you plant . He therefore wisely determined to tty it . He planted the largest Prince Regents he could procure ; planted themjwhole ; and hia letter Bays that "he never , in all his life , saw anything equal to the promised crop . "

      And now then working-men , a word with you . Do you think ] that the land would not do aBwell for you , individually , had you but your share of it , as it does either for Ma . Linton or the " profound " Mercury ? Could not you manage to dig it with a spade ; to rake it with a rake ; to hoe it with a hoe ; to put " muck" on it , and spread it , and dig it in to plant cabbage-plants , or " set" potatoes ! Could you not manage to " cut" your cabbages when they were grown j and " get" your potatoes when they were ready ! J Could you not manage to do these things ? For it is only these things that Mr . Linton dees , to get the " extraordinary" crops that he is every now and then telling us of .

      La bo or applied to the land is the secret of Mr , Linton's success . There is no other secret about it . He has not sun , day and night , as some of you might suppose . He has no means of causing the shower to come , only when God pleases to send it . He cannot keep off frosts , or cause dry weather , when ft is " steeping wet ! " He can do none of these things . Be

      can only watch the seasons as they come , applying labour bo as to tako the greatest advantage of them . You have the { labour . You only want The Land whereon to employ it : and then you conWlive well , if you could manage to eat what you grew . To get that Land should be your main , your first object . Id another part of this sheet is detailed A PLAN by which this JLAND may be got ; and the means of protection when you have it ;—political poweb . Look that pLan over . Stud y it well And if it

      seems to you , j on examination , to be calculated to get you The Land , set to work under it , to carry both objects . Oboanizs under it . Apply the means you have at your command ; and you win . very SOON BS ABLE TO GROW CABBAGES AND POTATOES FOR YOURSELVES ! ! You will then not care much about " tBaines ' s History of the Cotton Trade . " The Rotten Cottons and the " author" of their " History" and your ( now ) misery , may then go and lament together for " the daya of auld lang-syne , '' when Cotton-lords , with their hundreds of thousands .

      engrossed in ft few years , pleaded bcin as a reason why they should drain the last drop of blood from out of the shrivelled aad almost dried-up carcases of their workmen . For the pres ent wo leave this question . We shall , however , return to it next week . We have not done with the M Profound Political Economist" of the Mercury . We have some more " pie" for him ; not printers' " pie ; " nor potatoe " pie" ; but " political economical" "j pie . " We shall shew that The Land has been prescribed by Mr . Baines himself , as " our last , our only ] resource" ! We shall prove , from him , and by him , that u one of the natural

      consequences of machinery must be the decrease of labour ! We shall shew that he has declared , under his ovon hand , that " in manufactures , be cannot get a glimpse of hope respecting them "; "that the common subject of complaint is , the want of employment for both males and females ; for both young , middle-as ; ed , and old persons" ; that " the introduction of any other manufacture might shift the evil , but would not remove it ?; and thit " he can see [ with us ] no help , no employ , BUT IN THE SOIL" I !! All this we will prove from Mr . Baines ' s own mouth ; and then we shall leave him to settle the question of his "prefundily" with the public as he likes . A fine " pie '' for you , readers , next week !

      WHIG AKD TORY WEIGHED . " TANTABARA—BOGUES AIX ! ROGUES ALi'' J ! The desponding manner in which the Whig scouts in both Houses have reviewed the acts of the past Session , would lead those ignorant of the treachery , the imbecility ! and cowardice of that defunct faction to a belief that their own Sessional Settlements would stand honourable contrast with that of their Tory opponents . The time was—but has passed

      away—when present insult operated as a corrective ; when tire crimes of those out of office , though deep as scarlet , became white as snow by comparison with the reigning oppressors' sins . Those were times ? , however , when the people were in the habit of allowing others to think for them : and the change is ] the result of the people ' s resolve honceforth to jthink fur themselves .

      fate of those countries whose destinies are com , * mitted to saoh misrule . Bat , in oht grief * wb CANNOT FOBGET THE MOST GUIMT PABTT ! those , who by directing the Refobm Bill from its promised purpose , prepared the publio mind , by progressive acts of tyranny , for that state of things which they have been mainly instrumental in producing . We can see the injnstice of an " Irish Arias Bill , " as keenly as others . We can look with horror upon the first step towards the attainment of an" Irresponsible Standing Army , " and can imagine the uses which may be

      made of this assumption of power by the minister . In this move , we . see the military force of Britain divided into two distinct armies , having two distinct ari'd separate interests : the Parliamentary army , subject to the annual vote of Parliament for its subsistence ; and the Royal army , irresponsible to Parliament , and under the command of the Minister . It is folly to talk of Parliament having controul over the "Invalid National Guard 3 ! ' * They have been enlisted for the remainder of life ; and so well matured were the plans of our " physical force " government under their general , that Ministers re * jected the limitation of enlistment to five years . We can regret the proposed means for redressing Welsh

      grievances , by adding new burdens to their already overload of suffering , in the shape of a couuty police , paid for by the sufferers as the penalty of their rashness for complaining . We can oast a backward glance At the " bill of fare , " which , at the opening of Parliament , was laid upon the table , as compensation for the " supplies" to cook it . We can admit the " something promised , " and the " worse than nothing performed . " We can pity Ministerial profligacy in the midst of National distress . But , for the life of us , we cannot see any great distinction between the foul deeds of the past and the foul deeds of all former Sessions . The only difference is thai IT WAS NOT THE WHIGS , BUT THE TOBIES WHO

      DID IT I Had the Whigs perpetrated the Sessional atro * cities , the Tories would have backed them in the good work ; and authority would have gained muoh that it has lost by tbe faint opposition of the Whigs . To ramble over the sayings and doings of the two Houses , would be an insult to our readers . We have long laboured to bring corruption into disgrace ; and we have at length succeeded in directing the public mind hom the "little minds withm" to the " great minds without . " The ce&tralization of the few has triumphed over the disorganized , many ; but the roused many have at length seen the weakness of their opponents .

      Did the supporters of the Whigs from 1833 to 1841 , attempt to hamper our tyrant masters , who reigned Soring that long season of rank oppression S No ! no ! Every act of tyranny was palliated by tho cry : " the Tories would do worse . " The Tories have given a standing army to England ; but did not the Whigs give a standing army to Ireland I Yea , did they not garrison the very capital with the most odious of all military " forces , " a p olice " fobce , " under the direction and command of rampant oiiy authority !—a " force" irresponsible save to the passions of their commanders ? Have they not filled

      our peaceful rural districts with a Bwulaxspy "force , " to be paid for by the broken shop-keepers ! Did they not commence the foreign crusades , and civil commotions , which are now ripping open the very bowels of society 1 Did they not add insult to injury , by furnishing fat Poor Law officials as a galling contrast with gaunt poverty , which the officials were hired to keep in subjection 1 Did they not make extensive pro ~ mises at the commencement of each session , witb full reliance that those promises would be frustrated in the Lords 1 Did they not reject Sir Hesxeth

      Fleetwood ' s proposal for an extension of enfranchisement , the effect of which would have been to curtail the evil of which they now so loudly complain—the £ 50 tenants-at-will clause ? Did they not " basely compromise" Mr * Wahd ' s appropriation clause 1 and denounce all further interference with the Irish Church revenues f Did they not pledge themselves to " RESIST abepeal of the onion to the death 1 " Did they bob propose and enact the Irish Poor Law Bill , so hostile to Irish feelings 1 Did they not fill the gaols with political offenders , and mock their appeals even for mercy $ Did they not laugh at our petitions ; and deny the

      existence of distress , until the moment of their dismissal , when their hearts became toft ? Did they not even reject , by larger majorities than the Tories had , a Repeal of the Corn Laws ? Did not their leader recommend ; the magistrates of Staffordshire to call magisterial tyranny to the aid of the law , and to " kuin with expknses" ( Melbocbne > all those who sought protection under the law ! Did not their leader , in the Commons , conspire against the life of Frost , lest he should oust him from Stroud 1 And at the present moment does not their stock of Irish sympathy consist in denouncing thofe very grievances which they demanded coercion to atifla ? " Out upon such rascaxs" !

      A new feature iu the English character has now been developed ; and to meet it a new system of sectional agitation is being concocted . The high and mighty are tired of repose , and look once more for the fatigues of feffice ; while the subordinates of their party look for patronage under them . To meet the improved condition of English mind , new political devices must be had recourse to . But however

      varied the system of warfare may be , the people may rely upon it , that one and all of the discontented sections are pulled by " head men , " who , while they profess identity of social feeling with those whose champions they would fain be constituted , are themselves actuated solely by political motives . These sectional streams , though flowing in different channels , yea , though moving in apparently different directions , all converge to the one point ; AND

      THAT POINT IS POLITICAL POWER !!! To meet this sectional warfare , the working classes , who have been , sufferers from Whig duplicity and Tory tyranny , must look to themselves , and to their own power ; and to that alone ! Of all things they mast bear in mind that the restoration of the Whigs to office would be followed by a temporary repose , to give the newly installed Ministers " another trial ; " and that the more Accursed their acts , thb more likely would thet BE TO ENSUBE TOBY SUPPORT .

      For tea years England was destitute of ft& " opposition ; " and her voice of complaint was never heard . Since the restoration of the Tories , however , she has had an opposition ,- and beb wrongs have bbbn bellowed in parliament , akb HAVE RUNG THROUGH THE WIDE W 0 B 1 D ! We long longed for what we have got : an organ through which the doings of oppression might be published to all the nations of the earth : and it iB our duty to hold the trumpeters to their post , until echo answers " stay where you are , unless you are piepared to allow those capable of redressing the grievances of which you complain to take part in making the laws under which those griavances can no longer exist I "

      We make no distinction between political sects . We fearlessly give it as our opinion , that every agitation which does not embrace every principle , and the sacred name , of—the Charter , in which the soul of political life breathes , is based upon a desire to restore the Whigs to office , that the Generals of Brigades may be rewarded for their services ! The men who would withhold the right of self representation , cannot be safely trusted with the guardianship of other men's rights ! as it is evident that in popular weakness he recognizes his own and his party ' a strength . :

      We conclude this general review of factions with A WARNING NOTE . The time is fast approaching when the Leaders of tf moral force " Whiggery will rely epon a popular outbreak FOB THE RESTORATION OF THB 1 B PARTY J And the English cabinet would gtodly ehange the scene of " physical" action from United Ireland to disorganized England , in the hope of reading a wholesome lesson to the Irish people I Let all of them , llOWflVCr , BSWARE HOW TUEY P .
