      Gloucester-^ BBBGA-VENNY . —The Masoks' Stsikk . — A subscription-sheet is opened at the Bush Inn , in th is town , for the masons who are on the strike at iiie k w Houses of Parliament , and is liberally subscribed to . Shobxaktrs' Stbik * . —A great portion of the shoemakers of this town , who are in the employ of Jtessrs . Daniel and Co ., are at present on strike . On Saturday last , the masters came to the decision to reduce the men three-pence in the pair . A meeting of the journeymen was held on Monday last , when ggbt of the best workmen , who have all families , pate to the decision to abandon their work , and geefe employment , rather than succumb to such ua ibilement .

      BOCHDALE . —Policb Law . —I have before lid occasion to draw the attention of your readers t » the doings of the great Unpaid" of this town , hit I think their decision in the following ease sajds QBparalleled . The following magistrates were a die bench : —Messrs . Royds , Chadwick , Kelsall , Qossley , and Heape . A person of the name of lee , from Hejrrood , summoned Sergeant Batho Kd Inspector Abbott , of the county police , for an isach , and illegally breaking into her house ; she me ber evidence as follows : —On Sunday momjjyr , the 21 st instant , between the hours of ten and twslTe in the forenoon , she , with some neighbours , ree sat in the house , when Batho came in , and

      tfter looking all round went away again . Shordy ifter , be , accompanied by Abbott , another policeman , Bd » churchwarden , came past the window ; the fitness seeing them coming , went to her door for tk pnrpose of fastening it , when Batho attempted tt burst it open , which tne witness resisted , but bsEf OTerpowered , the door was forced from itB Huge * with great violence and hurled into the middle of the floor , and herself much i njured by isag thrown against the wall ; she was then sulfemg from the ill-treatment she had received . This evidence wa 3 corroborated by other witnesses . Ob the police being called on for their defence , fcej said they had reason to believe that the

      bwe in question was what is here called a bush shop , " or place where beer is sold without Boase , and thai they went for the purpose of mertaming that fact , and considered themgfrea justified in acting as they had dene . Oj being asked by Mr . Chadwick whether they had farad any beer , ibty answered * No . " It ought kre to M remarked that the police , last -week , ktnxht up Lee for selling bier , but the case was causaed as a frivolous charge . It was evident to ay unprejudiced mind that the breaking into the jks woman ' s house was the result of disappointment a not bong able to sacrifice their victim . Superifiendent Phemi said that he had , the week before ,

      mssed up one of his men , and sent him to this kese is disguise as a navigator , ( hear that , ye men tf Rochdale J ) to tee whether any "hush" was sold fere or not . He ( the policeman ) had seen nothing treng on the premises , and being discovered ,, he ns , as all such spies and traitors should be , kicked K , of doors . Mr . Koyd , as Chairman of the Bench , pre it as his opinion ., beirg backed by a majority tf tie Bench , that the police had acted perfect . y Mt , and he would Hiennaq the case . Whereupon fa . William Chadwick rose up in a stave of great ootement , and said he was surprised how any Kiristrates could come to such a decision upon the Pidence before them . They had no evidence of an y-

      a ± ag except the breaking into Lee s house : the B knsh" business was all supposition , and he mainiEaed the opinion that the police had no right to bak into any person ' s house without the wajns of a magistrate . " If , '' said he , " it «* d been my house , I would have taken the tar into my own ijhands , and maintained the right to defend drown castle . Things were mm to a pretty pass when people ' s houses could be ktkea into , because a policeman thought proper to ¦ sped something against the inmates . The woman Lee here asked who was to pay the expences . The Cbin&an said the case is dismissed—yos most each W vonr own . Mr . Chadwick said , " Don't pay

      aj eipences ; before you shall pay anything , I will ate the case myself into a higher court . " On the Hipgtrate 3 rising from the Bench , Mr . Chad wick « d to the Superintendent of the district ^ " Well , Fieaix , a Bench of Magistrates have decided that mhare a perfect right to break into any person ' s mse yon think proper—so there is no responsibility Bached to you ; yon are at perfect liberty to act a you deem fit . " The court w » 3 very much crowded * ka the above tooi place , in conseqnence of its ¦ a g the first general sessions since the introduction rf the Snral Police . There was one general feeling tffchnimion that Mr . Chadwick had the boldness &d Ban ] j feeling to stand up against so great a majsisy in defence of the poor man ' s nearly last

      re-BKsmg right . B&t that gentleman s bold defence tf poverty aad right did Eot rest here . He , next » Ji went to the Magistrates' Office , at the usual «« . There were on the Bench Messrs . Royds , ksttlf , and Heape . He said , before business commenced he wished to ask the Law Clerk , Mr . Woods , i fteEtion . He wished to ask whether the ca 3 e J * eame before them yesterday was decided ac-* & > g to law ! He had studied the law on this ^ ect , and , from all the authorities he had eoa-Rned , he was of opinion that every man ' s house U Ms castle , which no one had a rieht to

      at the New Houses of Parliament , Mr . Spencer in the chair ; the meeting was addressed by Mr . Wilson , a delegate from London , and Messrs . Edwards , M'Farlaa , Quick , Robbins , and Miller : and resolutions were adopted pledging the meeting to use its influence in supporting those noble-minded men in their battle against the monster Allen , backed as he is by power and capital . A resolution was also adopted denoancing the Weekly Dispatch and the rest of the venal London press that had misrepresented the masons and their cause .

      THE MASON'S STRIKE . TO THE EDITOS OF IHE NOBTHBB . K STAB . Sib , —Permit U 3 throogh tho medium of the Star , to inform the stonemasons throughout the country , that the strike at the new Houses of Parliament , Woolwich Dock yard , and Nelson ' s Monument , is still pending , with a probability « f being so ( or a considerable time yet , inasmuch aa the walls are being covered up for the winter . The object of Grissell and Peto in doing this is , no doubt , to gtarva the masons , if possible , into submission to their wishes , having through sad experience , discovered that men without principle are in general without talent .

      As most of those who came to London for the purpose of working at these jobs , plead the excuse of having heard or understood that the strikeissettled ; we wish it di = tinc : ] y to be understood , that such is not the case , atd that hundreds of efficient masons , unconnected ' with our strike , are walking London itreet 3 out of employment , but who , though solicited Sy Allen , to commence work at these jobe , from a knowledge cf his inhuman treatment , have manfully and indiErantly spurned hi 3 entreaties . The loeai masons and other trades of London have nob ) y done their duty—thev are with us to a man ,

      fully determined to support us to the last . The trades of the country too haTe generously come to our aid . The only enemies we experience from the operatives , and which is not a very formidable band , are those creatnres who have rome to London professedly journeymen masons , and wfeo are fast proving te Grissell and Peto that they are as deficient in the necessary abilities to perform their work , as they were in kindred feelings of humanity towards their fellowB ^—fl&TlDg already destroyed , through their ignoranct , more work than their gratuitous se ' rvices could repay for years .

      In illustration oi their incapacity and meanness , it perhaps may ha proper to state that while in London journeymen ' s wages are five ehillhigB per day , these voluntary instruments of degradation are , working for from two shillings and sixpence to Sve Eiailiugs , ihe great majority receiving only three shillings and sixpence . Grissell and Peto , writhing under the lash of public opinion , have , withotn the slightest particle of evidence , given a flit denial to the charges we alleged to Allen , and some of Alien ' s friends have also denied them for him ; he ^ Allen ) being incapable of writing for himself . We have challenged them for the production of their evidence , ( oar ' s beiDg at any time ready . ) and proffarred to submit the case to arbitration ; but which , tenacious that

      ** their dignity would be lowered , they reject . Since the publication in the Metropolitan and Provincial press of these denials by Grissell and Peio and their man Friday , Allen , the individual , Thomas Hickey , who had his leg broken , and who they stated was still in Grissell and Peto ' s employment , has published in some of the daQy papers , bis own Torsion of the case , and vrhich more palpably demonstrates the brutality of Allen , than any thing we have asserted or written . To controvert Hickey's statements , Messrs . Barker and Allen mason ' s foremen , and War die , Grissell and Peto ' s pay clerk , have appeared before a magistrate . Wardle for the purpose of making oath that he did not believe Allen had made use of

      ths language imputed to him in Hickey ' s letter , Allen for ihe purpose of making oath that he never discharged any man without giviDggood reasons for so doing , and thit he never made use of such language as Hickey had imputed to him . Barker for the pnrpose of making oath that in his opinion , Hickey deserved to be discharged . But strange tc say , the magistrate , notwiihEta . ndicg compliments from their superiors , " either from the appearance of these gents ., or the vacciUatic ^ manner in which they gave their statements , or tome other , to ub HEknown cause , objected to admit any of their statements on oath . We admit at once , that Alien did not discharge Hickey without Ms own reason , but we deny that his reason was a good one ,

      Untitled Article

      i being acccording to Hickey ' s showing in the letter he has published , because he ( Hickey ) was a M d d lame cripple ; " and this ia so very Eke Allen ' s general language , that no one who knows him will doubt its truth ; but if any does , several men , who heard the language , are ready to bear testimony to its accuracy , and who are as worthy of belief as Richard J . Wardle . Bat the fact is , they know Allen ' s conduct will not bear public investigation . They at first fancied , in their ignorance , that they could set us at defiance ; they next tried to create division in our ranks ; they then tried to delnde men to London , to supplant ns ; and , finding all these ineffectual , they are

      endeavouring , through misrepresentation , to destroy the confidence of our friends . They publicly assert that they want no more hands , haying as many as they need ( certainly , of the sort ) , yet continue their agents ia various parts of the country , practising their delusions upon the unwary , recommending them to the Houses of Parliament ; bnt where is ( he man , possessing the feeling !) of humanity , who would knowingly submit himself the miserable slave of such men t If there are any so basely disposed , we shall merely tell them that those agents have a similar interest in sending them to London as a pig-jobber bis cattle—namely , bo much per head for any efficient mason who goes to work at either of the jobs struck against .

      But frem the knowledge we have of our fellowworkmen , the disposition they have already shewn and are continuing to exhibit in our favour—from the knowledge we haye of the inability of those poor degraded serfs , who hare attempted to supplant us —from the determination manifested in our own ranks we are sanguine of an unsullied victory ; we know that in every town and Tillage in the queendom we have a host of sincere friends ; we know the straggle we are engaged in is no ordinary one ; we know that the eyes of our fellow men are upon us ; and beg , therefore , to state that our determination is to maintain that position we hare assumed , fearlessly and perseverin ^ ly-to pursue that line of conduct , which is becoming the character and dignity of men determined to bo free . Signed on behalf of the masons , Alexandeb Wilson , Chairman of Managing Committee ; Thomas Shohtt , Corresponding See .

      PUBLIC DISCUSSION , ON THUBSDAY AND FRIDAY EVENINGS , THE 26 TH AND 27 TR f LT ., AT THE SOCIAL HALL , TOTTENHAM COUBT ROAD , BETWEEN J . H . PARBY AND LLOTD JONES , ON THE COMPaBaTIVE CLAIMS OF CHABT 1 SM AND SOCIALISM TO PUBLIC SUPPORT . At the appointed time , half past seven , the two disput&nta arrived . Mi . Parry nominated Mr . Morton to be his chairman , Mr . Fleming was appointed on behalf of Mr . Jones , and Mr . Coras acted aa moderator . It had been previously arranged that the speakers ihould occupy alternate half hours , and the discussion should cloftd on each evening at half past 10 o ' clock ; the proceeds after paying all expenses , to be equally divided between Messrs . Parry and Jones , to be by them given to some public purpose . Charge for admission , hall , 2 d . gallery , 4 d .

      Mb . Lloyd Jone * . —The subject they bad to discuss , did not bear on any metaphysical doctrine , on which it was easy to excite the passions of au audience ; the question was which of the two systems was beat calculated to better ths physical , moral , and mental eocditicn of man , which would most speed !]} ' and easily guide them to the attainment of that liberty and happiness of which they were ia pursuit , and the system which In their opinion was best calculated to do this , would receive the support of the majority , or there would be no utility in holding tho discussion . What is Chartism and what is Socialism ; -what their probable result when put into practice ? Socialism is founded on the principles of the nature of man aa an individual ; and collectively as a society . Socialism recommends its

      principles to no parties but themselves ; It is independent of foreign aid , it takes ady&ntage of the laws as they exist , to forward the objects it has in view . It is the duty of any body of men before they propose any measure calculated to break np all existing laws , to prove by practical illustration , the usefulness of that which they call upon the masses to adopt , lest the proposed remedy should prove a source of extensive injury . Socialism does this ; we are engaged in practically illustrating our doctrines ; but to be carried ont on a large scale it demands an extensive capital , and we appeal to the clear-sighted amongst you if you think oar views correct , to assist ns in carrying them into effect . Socialism starts with the principle that men will never act well in masses until they act well as individuate ;

      we therefore insist upon a good education being given to every human being ; we demand that the land out of which ve have so long been defrauded , shall be pat in oar possession ; we know that by the sanction of the law it is in the hands of others , and that by no logic or argument can we induce them to yield us possession ; the easiest way then is by purchase . I grant that if by a short scuffle , without much bloodshed , we eocdd get possession of our inheritance , seeing the great misery which exists , that ; wosld be the best ; but seeing that tit struggle would be long and difficult , we think it the safer way to try on a small scale thd principles we profess ; to prove by practical measures that a common holding of the common land , is superior to the present private holding ; in settling on the land our axiom is ,

      that no one should be compelled to do for another , what he can do for himself , without yielding a proper equivalent ; every member of socitty should use his exertions for the benefit of society , and in return should be entitled to an equal share of the benefits derived from the labour of the whole ; misery and crime would then be banished the earth , none would ne «* to ask their brother men for leave to toll ; and you must bear in mind that this . conld be effected without ths passing of any new law or the abrogation of any law now in existence , this we have clearly proved by practical experiments . I put these principles , thus supported , against those advocated by the Chartists ; they only claim political power , forgetful that they must be in possession of knowledge to rightly secure that power att ^ r the Charter ; yon will then have

      to ded 4 e whether you will repeal the Corn laws , abolish the House of Lords , remove private property , or whit measure you will adopt , and to agree upon this would take you as much time as it would , if yon clearly understood your interest , to remove want , and the fear of want from the face of the earth ; to complete your views yea must have a majority of the nation , ours can be accomplished by a section ; you are far from being united ; yon have even Operative Conservative Associaations ; your Hunts , jonr Cobbotts , yonr Cartwrights have gone to their graves , and still you are in the same position , and likly to remain so . One of our influential journals says , that with a few exceptions yon are a set of Incorrigible scoundrela ( Name ) The Times . This sdowh the strong feeling against you : Socialism is superior to Chartism , because we do not depend upon others , we rely only on our own resources .

      Mr . Parby . —If my Lord Normanby or any other profound legislator was to enter this room , he would soppose we were met to congratulat 9 her Majesty upon the blessing she has given to the eonntry , which , ia the language of the newspapers , has fitied the heart : of her subjects with tujnultous joy ; but how greviougly would he be disappointed on finding that we had met to discover the true cause of our grievances , to endeavour to throw the wealth , the Government of the couUry into other hands tban those which now possess it Mr . Jones has placed before yon Socialism as a means oi remedy . I will not attempt to arouse a prejudice against men whose laudable endeavours to promote human advancement I greatly respect ; I will merely examine whether the rational system of society "will prove a remedy for evils so universally admitted , but before doing so we will examine if the Charter is the crude undigestad scheme Mr . Jcnes represents it to be . honest men

      The Charter was drawn up by iDt ^ Jli ^ ent ; the names of some of ths meat talented men in the country are appended to that document . Mr . Jones has said the Times newspaper has called U 3 a set of incorrigible Bcoundre ' . s . What cate we , what cares any friend of freedom , for what that mass of inconcensisteney and absurdity says of oar cause 1 we well know the justice of our claims , we are anxious to bring into ^ practical operation that syftam of equal representation which has been the goal towards which all ^ ood and great men have directed their attention . Mr . Jonesi tells you of the difficulties you will have in persuading the Houses of Legislature to listen to your claims ; it " these parties look with an evil eye upon Chartism , do they regard social communities with a more favourable aspect ? In my opinion our object ia to discuss principles and not difficulties , else I could bring snch an overwhelming host of difficulties in array against Socialism , that even Mr . Jinea -would admit there Were

      greater difficulties in the way or Socialism toan Chartism . Mr . Jones may net be able to sea the advantages we should attain from the passing of the Charter . I will not pretend to demonstrats , like a problem of mathematics , what result j wi ! l ensue . Bnt if any reliance can be placed on history ; if from a review of the past , we may tatiniata the probabilities of Lha fnture , then we must come to the conclusion , that man ' s happiness is mado or marred by the political inBtitutSonB tinaei which he lives . Wo snail always find that those who have been possessed of political power , have had the means of beneatting themselves . If thv power has been vested in the monarch , there has been no distress in his abode ; the same in an oligarchy ; they have flourished in luxury and affluence , regardless of the evils by which they were * n : roundfcd .

      Barely , very rarely , bus the power been invented in the hands of the people ; but in ancient Greece and Rome , in Switzerland , in America , or wherever t ! iey have possessed political power , thera have they baen enabled to increase their physical com forts , to rise in the scale of moral and intellectual dignity . Place the political power vre demand , in the hands of the people , and tae evils which now press upon us -would no longer be suffered to exist . I do net mean that the Charter , like the wand of Prospero , wonid immediately produce all we are in Deed of ; we cave lived too Ion ,: under the baneful effects of class letfslation for Ha effects to be rooted ont in a day . But this it will do—it will give as the power gradually to destroy all thatneeds destrnctlon , and to reform all that lueds improvement Mr . Jones says , " We do sot go far encu £ b , " we do not

      Untitled Article

      propose enough . " True , we do not propose as Sochi . Jstadoes , to do everything to turn this World into a perfect paradise . Mi . Fairy then read an extract from the laws of the Social Community , stating that sickness would scarce even intrude upon their dominions , and that poverty and the fear of poverty would be banished for ever . This la indeed an handsome offer , and If we ware certain it would be realised , we mut be mad not to embrace it But this ia only prophecy ; I too might prophecy l « re , peace , and happiness to all . But we appeal to history and experience to bear us out ; I appeal to Mr . Jones whether every attempt of Mr . Owen oi his disciples to realise a Community has not proved a failure f The system of socialism ia a dreamy system ; it Is opposed to human nature ; it can never

      be carried into operation , unless yon can reduce all mankind to one dead level ; unless you can annihilate human passions . Ai well might yon expect the dwarf to stand on a level with the giant , as to expect a man of enlarged mind , to place himself on a level with one whose mind is scares above the grade of an idiot ; and you must necessarily have these characters in community . Mr . Jones has implied , that if we were in power we shonld make no provision for religious freedom , and says , the Socialists are a living monument of persecntien . I admit they aro , bat Caere is a growing desire amongst all classes to do away with theso unjust laws ; to allow every man to worship according to bis conscientious belief . In Ihe Charter we give to every man a vote , regardless -whether he ia a Jew , Mahomedan , or Christian .

      Mr . JONES—To the Charter , as far as it goes . I have no objection ; there it not ft principle in it but I agree with , and I have a strong desire that theso principles should , as speedily as possible , be brought into practice . But though the principles of the Charter are good , other principles may be more valuable : there may be , if I may so term it , golden principles of truth , and copper principles of truth . I consider the principles of Chartiam to be equally true as those of Socialism , but of less value . Mr . Parry has told you of the misery among tho werking classes , and that the Charter would remove it I admit that if they had the power they would desire to remove it ; bat they might be deficient of the knowledge . The Chartists , as a united body , have only laid claim to the privilege

      of law-makiBg ; they have laid down no defined plan foi their future conduct . The Socialists have laid down a plan ; they say that machinery is the prime cause ot the distress of the working class , and therefore they will put it under better direction—that competition is at the root of these evils , and they will abolish it by planting communities . Mr . Parry says that we must discuss principles , and not difficulties ; bnt the relative difficulties must form a portion of our discussion , for granting that both systems are true , that is most worthy of our support which is accompanied with the fewest difficulties . Mr . Parry states that there are greater difficulties in the way of our receiving publio support than in the way of the Charter . I grant that there is a hundred times greater difficulties , but

      we care nought for this : our plans can be carried out by a few ; we do not want the majority . Our plan , though surrounded with greater difficulties , is more feasible ; we rely on ourselves , not on others- When tha Bishop of Exeter brought Socialism before the House of Peers , before these exceeding wise old women , the Great Captain of the age said if it was true it was horrible . They all declared , with the mock modesty of old maids , that indeed it vras very bad ; but what conclusion did they come to ? Why , the iron Duke told them that they could not interfere with us , while we kept within the laws , withoutinterfering with some of our most valuable institutions . We care not with what *<> rt of an eye they look upon us , or what they say of ua : we shall be like that animal of

      which it is said that the more it is cursed the more it thrives . Mr . Parry has objected to our large promises —to our saying that sickness will be almost unknown , and want entirely . If we make promises , which we cannot perform , we are guilty of great weakness , to call it by its mildest term ; but where great poverty exists , there will you find groat disease . Remove the cause , and the effect will cease . Where does sickness most rage but in low haunts of crowded cities . This evil Socialism would do away witi , or greatly ameliorate . Mr . Jones then explained why Mr . Owen had not succeeded in forming a flourishing community . If Mr . Owen had failed in every attempt , that should not deter them from endeavouring to attain perfection . Mr . Owen ' s experiment at New Lanark had perfectly succeeded as an educational and commercial establishment , and had realised him a handsome fortune . The Shaker and Rappite communities in America bad also succeeded . The first railroads , the first fcteatn engines .

      ftc ., were failures , but from these failures experience was gained which ultimately led to success . Mr . Parry says ours is a prephecy not founded on facts . I asseit that the benefit ) to ba derived from the Charter are only speculative , and it remains with you to decide which prophecy is most likely to prove true . Mr . Parry has asked bow property would be distributed in a community , if he had carefully examined our laws , he would have possessed every information on this subject We do net want to bring the giant in mind or body to a level with the dwarf , but we want to hinder the giaut from oppressing the dwarf . Wo do not want to bring all to one dead level , but , like the various notes in a piece of music , which arc all dissimilar , ytt , when properly mingled , produce harmony and beauty—so would our ' s be a system of mingled or common interests . Political power is only valuable to procure domestic happiness , and we contend we can attain this with our present political

      power . Mr . Pabry said , Mr Jones has asserted tint I have equally prophesied with himself . Surely Mr . Jones must hrtve forgotten himself . I asserted that no state of society had yet realised that state of freedom from sickness and want anticipated by Mr . Jones ; and , therefore , it was prophecy . I stated that any body of men who had gained possession of political power had always been enabled to advance their own interests . Those who wielded the power were not sufferers ; those who h&d not the power did suffer . I appealed to history in proof of this . I deduced from this fact that if the people of this country were in possession of political power , they would , as far aa their knowledge allowed them , exercise it for their own benefit Mr .

      Jones might nave complained that my proofs were not good , bnt not that I asserted without bringing proofs . Mr . Jones bos humourously said that there are golden and copper principles . I think Socialism lays hold of the golden ones . The grand ebject of Socialism is the establishment of ' communities ; once obtain entrance th 9 re , and all other benefits would speedily follow . Mr . Parry then read extracts from the laws , shewing that £ 50 must ba paid by every individual previously to entering the community . True , it need not be paid all at once ; it can be paid by sums as low as Kixptnca per week , and with such means , they can produce , in spite of our present laws , a scene of happiness aad pleiity . But how enn the poor , wretched , ill paid operatives of this country ever expect to pay £ 50 ?—a

      man , with his wife and four children , to give £ 300 to get int ? community I Caa tho Spitalfields weavt * hare any hope of such an evei < t ? Inat < : ; id of tak :: ; . 7 hia sixpence to a communi'y , he would take It Into a baker ' s shop . It is almost mockery to talk to men dying at their looms of the beauty and prosperity of communities ; it would take tho average duration of iuan ' d life to pay £ 58 , at , the rate of sixpence per week . You must flrst g < t political power , to enable you to get tho necessary fnu . is . One rule of the Association I would , as a "well-wisher , press upon your Cougresa to alter—that which states tbat all other things being equr . ! , tho person who lias paid the most money shall be the first admitted into the community . Socialism puts forth a aysttm -which professes to be

      perfect ; they say that tneir . i ia the most perfect system which it is possible for the in in a of man , with Mi present amount of know l edge , to arrive at ; they mufee no allowance for progression . Wo do not profess to put forth a system ; "wa nur ? ly desire the adoption of certain principles , the result of which will be to give to all an equal share of poi' . tical power , and there iB no doubt that , with the hatred they entettain to certain existing iri 3 t : tu ' . ions , they would effect many changes ; but it ia premature to say now what those ch . vngc . 3 will be . When we have the power ; and have collected into me focus the iut 3 l ) igaiice of the age , it is for them to decide upon tho measures to be adopted . Chances which wight U > vontempJated-now , might not

      be ijtee sary in a fe ^ years' time : we only desire the poTfc-r to be enabled , as society progresses , to suit our institutions + o it 3 new features . Mr . Jones has admitted that the difficulties in the way of Socialism are one buttdi-M time 3 grrater than thoso of Charti . xni : not only fire religions prejudices to be overcome , but also tho ^ c <> f private property ; and by no charm of eloquence—by no chain of argument , can you persuade men who have property to » ive it up to those who have none , for the s . Jte of some future benefit You may get a few philanthropic individuals , but the bulk of those who hava property will ever bo opposed to you , from the Great Captain of the age down to tho £ io peddling snnpkeeper . I think Mr . Jones will see the force of this argument .

      Mr . Jones . —Mr . Parry has found fault "with our mode of admission to Community . I think it is but just thU all other qualifications being equal , the person who has paid mott should be the mott eligible . He greatly objects to ours because it is a perfect plan ; the Charter proposes nothing , this he considers wisdom . I differ with thia entirely . You intend to pull down the present system of society ; the plan you intend to sub ' stitute should be well discussed in all its bearings , none bnt fools or madmen would attempt to pull down their habitation unless they were prepared with one to occupy in its stead ; we have done so ; we have prepared / a system to replace the one , and endeavouring to do this , Mr . Parry calls presumption . He aLao

      says we make no allowance for progression , we do not say tkat oar plau shall last for ever , that thare shall be no alteration , but we do say it is the btst that our present knowledge will allow us to devise . I admitted that our difficulties were greater than those in the way of the Chartists by 1 , 000 times , but society is fast working for us ; the stomach of man , that most powerful of all reaaoners , will come to our aid , and before it prejudice will vanish ; if by the success of our experiment wo can prove that plenty and happiness can be realized , what working man can shut his e > ea to tmuh facts ? what man will fail to be convinced 1 they may say our metaphysics are bad , but cotumuaity is good , and we will go with yom , and they will then demand communities with a voice a thousand times louder than they now

      demand the Charter . The very cupidity of the other classes will force them to assist us , they will see it ia a profitable speculation for theiz capital ; we ; are aware that all cannot at onee enter community , that the Spitalfields wearer cannot give us sixpence ; we do not wast it of him ; but there are others who do eympathiza with ui , Who , by tidr extra contributions , will Und an asylum in community , even for the Spitalfields weaver . Tn « Chaitist only claims a right to vote , be does not even Wnt to the public how he will exercise that vote . The Chartists as a body are disunited ; there are moral force men and physical force men ; they follow this leader and that leader , and have to beg and pray for their rights to those who are interested in keeping

      them from them . Socialism only needs the raising cf a certain amount of money to carry out its object ; tor this it appeals not to any one class , but to the benevolent of all classes . It cares not for the parliament , bat stands on the truth of its principles and tneir application to practice ; the man who depends upon himself is n thousand times better off than tho man who depends on others . Look at your dissensions with Brewster . Look at the conduct of the two bodies . We acting under one head In a concerted movement , as one onitsd body . You split into sects and patties . You boast of yout political prisoners ; this shows yonr want of wisdom . I think I have clearly established the superior wisdom andpractiblllty of the Social Bittern .

      Mr . PAB . B . Y—Mr . Jones has appealed in proof of the correctness of his system , to the isolated Communities in America ; I to the united testimony of human history . Heave you to judge , whose appeal is of tho most value . Mr . Jones saya , Communities must succeed because the Shakers and Rappites have establishment * in America . But t&ero is this great difference ; America is a new country , is almost an untaxeii country , laud is to be obtained for a mere trifle ; England is au old country , possessing institutions formed to suppress every attempt made on a large scale to benefit the whole community . England is crowded with a busy competitive population ; every inch of ground is claimed and appropriated . Is it fair to draw a parallel between the two cases ? I have no doubt that certain

      paitea might form a Community whieh would benefit themselves , in the Sandwich Islands , the wilds of Australia , or any other isolated place if they agreed amongst themselves ; but if the system is perfect it should succeed everywhere . Mr . Jones admits that the very poor cannot be expected to get into Community until some period fat in prospective . What a pros * pect is this for unhappy Ireland , for the millions who are in utter destitution , many compelled to exist on sea weed and fish ! What a prospect for the starving population ef England ! truly may it be said , to be " fine by degrees and beautifully less , " and by degrees it vanishes altogether . True , the Charter lays down no system , but we have certain things floating in our heads . Thare is universal education ; this we cannot

      obtain on account of the well-paid priest , but we would get rid of the priest , or at least pay him so as to make him dependent ; we could then gtt education . We call upon the people to arouse in their mipbty power , aud we have such confidence in the forco of truth and intelligence , that we fear not the result . In agitating for the Charter , we are advocating a grand national plan-Socialism is but a small petty scheme . Only think of the presumption of a Benefit Society founded of the lith of George the IV ., and the 4 th Elizabeth , completely setting at rest the whole of our national grievances . Yet Mr . Jones says be glories in this presumption . He tells you it has succeeded in America ( of which I shall say more to-morrsw evening ) and therefore it will succeed in every situation , He tells of

      their splendid Halls throughout the country . I allow that these Halls are valuable , but because they have Halls in two or three large towns , does it warrant ua in believing that these Halls will be found in every town of the kingdom ? Look at the usual manner in which this Hall is occupied . Lectures , singing , dancing , grammar , and other classes . Why , in these respects it is inferior to the meanest Mechanic Institution in any town in the kingdem , differing scarcely in any respect from them , save in presumption . If the Socialist had the buildings used aa Mechanics Institutions throughout the country , they would think the miUeniuaa had come ; these things are all good in their way , but they are but one of the phases in the mighty progress of society . Mr . Jones referred to Sputi in proof of the practicability

      of kis system ; but in Sparta , the mind , the intellectual portion , was entirely neglected , all their aim was to render their physical condition perfect . In this Lycurgus partly succeeded , but surely Mr . Jones would Hot wish to put Sparta , because it v ? a 3 somewhat of a religious community , because they eat at one common table , as an example to us in England . In Sparta the- ' r sous and daughters were complete slaves ; their minds were in a deadened state of stupour . Socialism paid bo much attention to the body , that it neglected the mind . They had in no instance ott-jined eminence in arts or literature . Mr . Jones had said much about their disunion ; there was no disunion respecting the principles , and tae must consider their vast numbers , and that they

      had not had the advantage of a rational system of education , and that the strong feeling induced by their necessity would , in some instances , overpower their reason . Mr . Jones had taunted them with their political prisoners ; had they had no respectable booksellers imprisoned for blasphemy ? it might be well for the members of a Benefit Society to talk of peaceable quiet measures , but it was impossible that a nation goaded almost to madness by distress , could talk or act without some symptoms of violence . He scarcely believed that snch perfect quietude could be obtained even in a Socialist Community . It was his firm conviction that Universal Suffrage would become the law of the land long ere tho land was studded with universal communities .

      The Chairman congratulated the assembly on the manner in which they had conducted themselves , and felt convinced that the same conduct would characterise them on the follow ing evening .

      TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN . Brother Democrats , —In addressing you again , I will lay before yon , in as concise and plain a manner as I can , our actual position . The Association now extends to 282 localities ; that is , they nave formed , or are forming themselves into the National Charter Association . It iB very true that in very many places they have not been enabled to send for their cards of membership : in StOCiport , Colne , and several other districts , such is the amount of destitution , that it is impossible they could come forward with their contributions to the good caase . Bui the poor fellows have done their best ; Having left Manchester on last Friday

      fortnight , I travelled via Hull , where Mr . Leach had a glorious meeting . After having agitated the principal towns in Yorkshire , we met some good men in Hull . We sailed from Hull and arrived in London on Sunday eveoiae . The Executive commenced their sittings on Monday . The country have before them some of our deliberations . We have had a good deal of business to transact ; and , from the letters I have received from all parts of the country , every satisfaction has been given . The balance sheet is partly in type , and will be ont on Saturday week . The expeneea we have been at have not amounted to ten pounds per week , whilst our income during nineteen weeks has been about £ 170 ., onr outlay £ 183 . The Corn Law repealers have expended more money in one week , aye in one day , than we have in five months , yet such is the intelligence of the people , that the Corn

      Law repealers cannot progress , whilst our principles are progressing with railway velocity . I must now allude to London and the prospects of our cause . There" are now twenty-five districts , in each of which the association numbers from twenty to three handred members each . The materials in London are excellent , aye , my friends in London , in aristocratic London , Chartism is widely disseminated . I met Mr . Maynard , an excellent Chartist , not exactly one of your talking Chartists , but a hard working Chartist , who treated me very kindly , in fact not only did Mr . Maynard treat me so , but also did Messrs . Wbeeler , Salmon , Taylor , Polling , Jago , Kobson , and several other good men and trie . The plan adopted by the London Chartists to obtain signatures to the petition , is well worthy of adeption by all , namely , to take a petition heading to every house , and after it has remained a day or two , to call for it again , and then to solicit the signatures of all the adults in the bouse . The London men am

      resolved to visit the Archbishop of Canterbury , Lord John Russell , Sir Robert Peel , the Duke of "Wellington , and as many of the aristocrats as possible , to obtain their signatures to tbe National Petition . The London Chartists anticipate half a million of signatures from the Metropolis alone . My friends , you . should see to understand the real position we occupy . 1 lectured in St . Pancras , on Sunday week last , to an overflowing audience . After ten o ' clock , I had to tramp to Marylebone , where there was another densely crowded meeting . I addressed them for half an hoar , and they urgently requested me to remain in town for another week , and lecture for them . I consented to do so . On Monday night , I addressed a public meeting in Wandsworth , where the National Petition was

      adopted in the most enthusiastic manner . On Tuesday night , I addressed them in Lambeth . On Wednesday night , the Executive attended the meetings of the General Council . On Thursday and Friday nights , I attended tbe discussion between Lord Jones and Mr . Parry . On Saturday night , I attended at Limebouse , and on Sunday night , I lectured at Marylebone , to an audience of abont 800 persons . The meeting was a bumper and 3 eemed highly delighted with my humble efforts . And now a word forthe discussion betwixt Messrs . Jones and Parry . In my humble opinion , Mr . Parry had ike best of the argument . He never dealt in personalities , whikt Mr . Jones , I think , did do ao , making use of the rascally Times , which called the Chartists aa incorrigible set of scoundrels , andshewine uivto the meeting the fate of poor Frost .

      The two disputants , however , are clever men , but Mr . Parry's conduct , at the close of the discussion , more firmly riv » tted in my mind the good opinion I entertained of him , by big giving np his share of the proceeds to the masons on strike . I thought Mr . Jones was about to do the same thing , when , to my surprise , he said he would give his share to the Tytberly Community . In" conclusion , brother democrats , allow me to congratulate yon on onr present glorious position . Over every mountain top are the glad tidinga of Chartism carried ; through every valley are they wafted by every passing breeze ; in every village , borough , and city onr principles are predominant . Onward , and we conquer ; backward , and we fall ! Universal Suffrage , and No Surrender ! I remain , Brother democrats , Your fellow-labourer in the good cause , JoH-S Cajipbell , Secretary .
