They „ had . . been told that the mvestigatioE . of this matter by a committee was wholly needless ; How , on the contrary , it appeared , to him that a deal of information was yet wanted , if not for : legislation within the walls of that house , at least for the purpose of influencing public opinion ont of doors . Hon . members were bound to recollect that great numbers of the industrious population of this great town wero employed in the very useful trade of bakers , aud that theirs , as well as aU other substantial erievan r * ought to be looked into .

committee was appointed to report upon all matters connected with the contract for the conveyance of the mails between Kingstown and- Holyhead , and other matters relating to the engagements entered into by the Admiralty with the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company . The amendments in committee ofthe Benefices in Plurality Hill , and other amendments , were agreed to . The house adjourned at a quarter-past seven o ' clock . I
WEDNESDAY , May S . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Slave-Grows SraAn . —Mr . F . O'Cosxob said that , agreeing with the Times of that morning , that "forewarned is forearmed , " he begged to put a question to the Secretary of State for the Home Department , in order that all sides of the house might be "forearmed , " -with regard to the subject to which he was going to refer . He ' understood—though he did not say it upon an authority which the right hon . baronet could not contradict—that it was the intention of the noble lord the Prime Minister , to make the proposition of the hon . member for South Essex ( Sir E . Buxton ) a question of confidence or no confidence in the government . It was also rumoured that a message had been sent from Downing-street to the lion , member for . the West-Riding ( Mr . Cobden ) , and the hon . member for Manchester ( Mr . Bright ) .
requesting that they would not leave town for Manchester until after that question had been disposed of . He wished to give the right hon . gentleman an opportunity of statmg whether these rumours were weU founded . Sir G . Gbet was not sure that be quite understood the question of the hon . gentleman . If the question was . whether any private communication bad passed between the noble lord the First Minister ofthe Crown and certain members of that house , that was a question upon which he could give the ion . member no information . ( Hear , hear . ) His noble friend was not in the habit of communicating to him the contents of bis private letters . ( Hear , tear . ) He could only say that he had never heard of any communication of the kind referred to before . Aa to making the motion of the hon . member for South Essex a vote of confidence , he had not even leardthe subject mooted . ( Hear , hear . )
Irish Fisheries Bill . —Mr . C . Assiet moved- the second reading of this bill , which was to consolidate or repeal the acts previously passed , and to assign to the Board of Works the supervision ofall the fisheries on the coasts of Ireland . Mr . Cosolly moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months . ¦ Some discussion ensued , when the house divided : Tor the second reading 37 Against it 197—160 Mr . Lact moved the second reading ofthe
Extramural Interment Hill . He argued at considerable length in favour of his measure , presenting as it did considerable differences from the government proposition , founded upon the recommendation of the Health Committee . The railways , he urged , presented facilities for the transport ofthe funeral corteges , and wonld supply the means of enlarging the range of "distance where cemetries could be constructed for the use of the metropolis . The large area of ground required for the multitude of burials could thus be obtained at a cheaper cost , and with a better selection of localities .
Mr . Laboucheue moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months . A division then took place , when the measure was negatived by a majority ef 123 to 4 . —The house rose at six o ' clock . THURSDAY , May 9 th . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The house then went into committee on the Police and Improvement ( Scotland ) BilL The bill , which contains upwards of 370 clauses , passed through committee . The Court of Session ( Scotland ) " Bill then passed through committee , as did the Railway Abandonment BilL The house then went into committee on the Elections ( Ireland ) Bill .
Mr . Maueice O'Cosssn moved the insertion of ¦ words at the end of clause 1 , enacting that Irish elections should in future be taken by ballot ; bnt the Chairman deciding that the motion was irregular in point of form , it was withdrawn , Mr . M . O'Conneu announcing that he should bring it on at the third reading . The bUl passed through committee , its discussion saving occupied the remainder ofthe night . On the motion for going into committee on the Factory Bill ,
Lord J . Mansees said that he agreed with Lord Ashley in the opinion he had elsewhere expressed in favour ofthe Government plan , as far as regarded its framework , but there his approbation ceased ; and he announced that on bringing up the report he should move to substitute " half-past five" for " six o clock , " as the hoar , of finishing work , which would be a means of really effectuating the objects of the bill . After a few words from Mr . Aguoxby and Sir Geoege Grey , - The committee was postponed till Monday .
( From our Hard Fdition of last iveci . X FRIDAY , May 3 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —On the motion of Earl Grey , the Pirates Head-Money Bill was read a third time and passed ; and On the motion of Earl Gbaxvule , the Indemnity Bill was read a second time . Their Lordships then adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Facioet Act . —Lord Asbiey , referring to a report that Her Majesty ' s government had some intention of proposing a scheme of their own respecting the Factory question , inquired of Sir G . Grey whether there was such intention , and , if- so , whether he had any
objection to give , in general terms , an outline of the scheme . Sir G ; Gbet replied , that after the acknowledgment made by Lord Ashley that he had experienced unexpected difficulties vnieb . had obliged hint to abandon the intention he originally entertained , and to propose anewscheme , he ( Sir George ) had thought it to be his duty to lay before the house a plan on the part ofthe government , prepared after fnU consideration , which he thought consistent with the spirit of the existing act , and ¦ which , -would carry ont the ohjeet of Lord Ashley , and be satisfactory to the great body of operatives . He proposed , instead of the existing restrictions , that the hours of labour should be between six in
ihe morning and six in the evening on five days m the week , or ten hours and a half a day , ( deducting an hour and a half for meals ) , and from six in the morning until two in the afternoon on Saturdays . This would give fifty-two hours . and a . half instead of fifty for five days , and on Saturday half an hour less than at present . ¦'¦¦'¦ ¦ The house then proceeded to the consideration of the DiSTBESSEn Uxioxs AnvAXcxs asd Repayment of Advaxces ( Ibelaxd ) Baz as amended in committee . A further amendment , moved by Mr . Cleuexts , of a proviso to be added to the third clause ( which provided that the liabilities of districts shall be charged on the town lands by way of annuity for forty years } , that the annuity shall not exceed sixpence in the pound of the then net annual value of the rateable property , unless the debt would not thereby be paid off in forty years , - led to some discussion . ' Upon a division the amendment was negatived .
„ , , , Ibeh Franchise Bili . —The house next proceeded to the consideration of this bill as amended in committee . . . Mr . Assist , moved as an amendment in the sixth clause with a view to reduce the qualifications of voters in boroughs from £ 8 to £ 5 as otherwise , the effect of the measure would be to . increase the county , constituency , aad diminish those of boroughs . Lord ; Castlebsagh said he did not wish to sec a great extension jof the franchise . , He desired to see monarchical institutions preserved in this country —{ hear , hear)—but he did not wish to see a free democratic social republic established .

( Cheers . ) Let them by all ihearis ' get a full representation of the people , 'but let them be careful not to be led away by such doctrines as those laid down ¦
: by the hon . gentleman . ( Hear , hear . ) : ' < - ¦¦¦ Mr . W . ¦& Fox did not know- where the noble lord had found the report of his speech to which he had referred , but he thoug ht that ofthe few'sen--tences which he had quoted , there was one that contained quite enough to show what ho meant by-the term " social revolution . " ( Hear , hear . ) Ho ( Mr . Fox ) had clearly and full explained that it was not a revolution which had anything to do with bloodshed , plunder , or the destruction of venerated and useful institutions , the re-distribution of . property , or any such absurdities —( hear , hear)—but that by a social revolution he meant- a change which should put talent , integrity , and legitimate influence in the place of corruption and of intimidation inthe
representation of the people in that House . ( Cheers . ) The word " social " . had been laid hold of , and , as far as it conld be done , it was laid hold of to give it , the form which had just now been affixed to it . . He had no hesitation , however , in repeating that he did desire to see such a social revolution as he then described , a revolution which should put talent and honesty and abilit y in their proper place , and give them their proper influence . ( Hear , hear . ) He saw nothing in this for which he needed to make any excuse or apology . ( Hear hear . ) The sentiments and the language he was ' ready to repeat there ; and in consistency with the principles he had advocated he should , as one desirous to see the suffrage both in this and the sister
country extended to the -very greatest degree that it could be , consistent with order or utility , support the amendment now before the house . Mr . O'Cosnob said that he rose not to apologise for , or to explain , or qualify the speech of the hon . member for Oldham , delivered at tho recent Conference . He had heard that speech not only with pleasure , but with pride and delight . ; . = gHear , bear . ) It is true tha ^' the bos . gentleman did advocate social and democratic princi ples ; so did he ( Mr . O'Connor ) , but it was also true * that the definition of those social and democratic principles given by the hon . member for Oldham was , to base popular rights upon national instruction and bnowlege . ( Cheers . ) He did applaud revolution , it was true .
but the revolution he applauded was , the contest of education and knowledge against bigotry and superstition ; aud thatlrevolution he ( Mr . O'Connor ) also supported ; bnt the noble lord had stated , that the effect would be—or rather proposed to be—was to relapse from monarchy to democracy . For himself , he not only admitted , but boasted that he was a democrat . He would remind the noble lord , that a greater change had taken place in the mind of this country within the last ten years , than had occurred within the preceding century . He now warned the ministers , and that side of the house , that if the rights for which that mind legitimately contended were withheld , it would look for something ; more . ( Hear , hear . )
Tub Cocbt of Chancery ( Irbusd ) Bili *—The House then resolved itself into committee upon this bill , the details of which occupied the rest of the evening . The other orders having been disposed of , the house adjourned at half-past twelve o ' clock .

The Honesty Fund. To Mr. Etder. Sib,—We ...
THE HONESTY FUND . TO MR . ETDER . Sib , —We enclose a Post-office Order for £ 2 , towards defraying the expenses of Mr . O'Connor ' s late trial . We have long been the admirers of democracy , and supporters and advocates of the principles contained in the People ' s Charter , believing that those principles are the divine rights of man . Such being our opinions and feelings , we have watched , with critical exactness , the career of our friend and champion , Feargus O ' Connor , Esq . ; and we believe , not only in his " unimpeachable honesty" and integrity , but that all the persecutions and prosecutions he has endured from the higher and middle classes , and from our own order , have been the result of his uncompromising attachment
to the rights of labour , and of his eloquent and sublime exposures of the tricks and plans which the profltocracy adopt , to make inroads upon our rights . There is no wonder that these precious parties should unite and combine for the purpose of crushing the exertions of such a persevering patriot ; but we hope and believe that a kind and beneficent Providence will , lengthen out his days , so that he may live to see the fruition of those philanthropic schemes which he has so ably inculcated upon the public mind . These are the sentiments of a few of the Old Guards ; who lament to see such apathy in their ranks , towards one of their most distinguished advocates . On behalf of the Heckmondwike Chartists , I remain , yours ,-: - Charles Hixchcmte .
TO FEARGUS 0 CONXOB , ESq ., M . P . Mr dear O'Cokxor . —Excuse me , humble and illiterate as I am , in attempting to address you : my feelings overcome me , or I would not . I have read the proceedings of the late trial between you and Mr . Rradshaw , of Nottingham , in the Star and other papers , and I confess I never read of a more unjust judge , - prejudiced jury , and perjured witnesses in my life . I read Mr . Sweet ' s letter in the Star , and thank him for his manliness . The evidence of Mr . Edward Ross , of Nottingham , was utterly false , inasmuch as he said , he heard Mr . O'Connor speak in Nottingham market-place at the election , andsay " He ( Mr . 0 'Connor ) cOuldput all the land members on the land in six years , if he was
elected . Now , what reasonable man could suppose you could put them on the land any sooner , though jou were elected ? Did they suppose that money wonld jump into your pocket by magic 1 I heard you deliver the same speech above mentioned , but I heard no such words fall from your lips . This I heard you say : I could put all the members on the Loud in six years if I had the money , for I could as easily build 1 , 009 cottages in a year as 100 . Now , this Edward Ross was a member of the Framework Knitters' Committee , endeavouring to elevate them in the scale of society , while he allowed himself to
be made a tool of by Bradshaw against a whole nation—for Mr . O'Connor ' s cause is a nation ' s cause . If the welfare of England had depended on this gentleman ' s evidence , false as it was , and sunk an innocent and oppressed people still deeper in the depths of misery , their curses light upon him . Sir , I subscribe my mite weekly towards the expenses incurred by the action , and I shall continue to do so until the whole debt is paid , and then I will not forsake you . Even your bitterest enemies are obliged to say , your character is unimpeachable ; and from this I am the more wedded to you , and will forsake you never ! never !! never !! ! Yours in the cause of Liberty , Carlton . Samuel . Hudson .

South London Chartist Hall. The Thirdiof...
SOUTH LONDON CHARTIST HALL . The thirdiof a series of- meetjngs ^ convened Junder the auspices- of the Provisional Committee ' of the National . Chartef'AssOciatioh ^ evening , ' May 6 th , ^ . notwithstanding the extreme ' wetness of ; the evening , ; the Hall was numerously attended . *; - ; ' ' , ,-- ^ ' [ ' ' ¦¦ ¦ •;< ; u ^ wi ; . - ; K . •;>; ¦* : ' -Mr / EDWABD ; : Mules was unanimously ' called to the cWir and said ^ their object ' was hot so ranch to denounce , thrones ; mitres , ' and titlesrarto advocate and . demand their -social rights—the ' . ' ftili reward of their industry . . Now , some had talked of a union or alliance between the working and middle classes , ' but it seemed to him impossible' | . , fpr never had the working , classes sought . the . ; ' social ^ amelioration ; of theif wretched condition in the least degree , than they found those men their bitterest opponents .,
( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Miles read an extract from the Morning Advertiser of Thursday , May 2 nd , denun I ciatory of Universal Suffrage , ' demanding a limitslion . of the Suffrage in France , calling all who . had voted for Eugene Sue mob and cannaille , and avering that the " respectable" portion of society must be protected from them . Thisj said Mr . Miles , is a representative of the liberal interest . ; . Unite with the middle classes—what , unite with the opponents of the Ten HQurs '' Bill—the oppressors of journey- ' men bakers—the destroyers of the industrious needle women—with men who revel , in the riches and wealth wrung from the sweat , blood , and bones of factory women and children ? Never , never , never . ( Loud cheers . ) Let the working classes but cordially unite , and they could and would effect their own independence . ( Hear . )
Mr . D . W . Ruffv , amid loud cheers , came forward , to move the following resolution : — " That , in the opinion of this meeting , the landed , resources of this country would , if properly cultivated , produce , for tbe whole of its inhabitants , a sufficient supply of the necessaries of life ; and that any system of legislation which will suffer the land of a country to be locked up in the hands of a few , or to lay waste , and , at the same time , confine the able-bodied labourer in workhouses ( more properly styled bastiles , ) and suffer the streets to . swarm , with pauper , ism , crime , and prostitution , cannot have any sympathy or regard for the working classes , this meeting is , therefore , of opinion , that as tbe land was
never given to any man , or body of men / but , ' for the benefit of all , it pledges itself to aid , by all the means in its power , to seewe tbe land as national property ; likewise the just political rights to every man , as laid down' in the- People ' s Charter , fully assured that when every individual possesses those rights , the present degrading and disgrace , ful system of society must cease to exist . " Mr . Ruffy said , the wretched social condition of the working classes had called them together , and the natural question- was , "What shall we do to be saved ? " He believed there was no salvation for workingmen , but through their own resources —( hear hear)—and as they struggle for the Charter , let them
inquire what their social ri ghts were . Politieal rights meant the suffrage , and social rights possession of , and a right use of the land and its resources . ( Loud cheers . ) The resolution ' . he had submitted yeryproperly embodied them both . They were told tbjfethe middle and upper classes laboured ; yes , they did | but it was to accomplish the misery and wretchedness of the working classes . The land and its resources , when cultivated by their labour , contained sufficient for all , if the product was only justly distributed . ( Cheers . ) The principles of the resolution asserted a great truth , namely : that the producers of wealth are not in that position , which nature in her wisdom designed they should be .
( Hear , hear . ) But their sapient Legislators , instead of endeavouring to better the position of the industrious classes , are congratulating her Majesty on the birth of another Prince . ( Hear , hear . ) In another country , Eugene Sue had been elected by Universal Suffrage , and the middle classes and wealthy classes consequently were conspiring to put down Universal Suffrage . He trusted the schoolmaster had been too much abroad in France to permit the conspiracy to be successful . ( . Applause . ) Englishmen are told they are . " freeborn men , " and that they ate a loyal people , and love the laws by which they are governed ; but , do they ? ( Cries of " No , no , no . " ) They were free to exist by labour , if they were permitted to toil , and if they were hot , lo enter the
Poor Law bastile , or perish by the way rside , as thousands were daily doing . ( Hear , hear . ) This was not in accordance with the doctrine laid down by the great Nazarine reformer ; no , for he held that Christianity was both Chartism and Socialism—( cheers )—and , in the book called Holy , they were told to go forth , without staff or scrip , to preach the glorious principles to all tbe world . ( Cheers . ) Oncfe ' nndcrstanding them , he thought it would then'be-suifi . cieht for the masses to say they were determined to possess them . The middle classes had invoke'd their aid in repealing the Corn Laws , and told them they would aid them . Had they done so ? They had also told them of the great advantages to be derived from , a repeal of the Corn Laws , but the working classes bad not found : them it bad caused increased
competition—more work to be done for less tfagesand what did it matter if bread was a penny ' s loaf , if the people had not a penny to get it ? ¦ I ( H . ear , hear . ) He knew that government clerks , sinecurists , pensioners , & c , bad benefited ; but it had not'beiiefited persons whose incomes were not ' fixed ; arid ' tfie remedy for the working classes wrongsi'lay much deeper ; if their grievances were to be proved , it would be necessary to carry into practice the principles contained in the resolution . ( Cheers . ) If the middle classes wanted their aid , they must first permit them to stand by their side as brethren ; having done that , then would they march with them , and , with a union of energy , attack and bring down the citadel of
corruption ( Loud cheers . ) In allusion to the public meeting held on the previous Wednesday at the National Hall , Holborn , he held in his hand the verbatim copy of a letter signed " Philip M'Grath , " addressed to a person in tbe county of Derby , in which Mr . M'Grath designated the men who addressed the meetings at John-street as " Atheists . Socialists , Chartists , and Tories , who desired and conspired to crush Mr . O'Connor . " The reading of the letter called down the ire of the meeting on the head of the writer . Mr . Ruffy asked , who were they who desired to crush Mr . O'Connor ? ( Cries of " none , none . " ) No ; all admired Mr . O'Connor for what he had done , and all they desired was , that he
should mix with the veritable Chartists , the thorough democrats . ( Applause . ) Clark , M'Grath , and Dixon , appeared to think themselves to be the all-and-all of Chartism . In their conception , they were "The men of England ; " but perhaps . he mig ht be excused for only looking at them as the " Three tailors of Tooleystreet . ( Laughter . ) However , they were members of the late Conference , held at Crosby Hall ; but when Mr . Reynolds manfully brought forth his resolutions they were nowhere , and it was left for a Mr . Leblond—all honour to him—to second them . If they wished to gain the objects put forth in that resolution they must look to their own order ; ( Loud cheers . )
Mr . Brisck , in seconding the motion , said , it was to be regretted that they had uo press to represent their interest . ( Cries of "Yes , one . " ) He ( Mr . Brisck ) would like them to name them . ( Shouts of " the Northern Star . " ) He ( Mr . Brisck ) differed with them ; the Northern Star did not represent them ; he would illustrate his ' argument : bis trade , the cigar makers , had a strike , and held a public meeting , in , consequence ; they- sent notice tnTne Northern Star , but the reporter did hot atten ^ ' ahd no notice was taken of it . Mr . Brisck then . j ) iiefly supported the motion , and resumed his seat . ' . :.. .
. Mr . Stallwoop rose and said , after what had fallen ; from Mr . Brisck , be felt bound to say . a few words in reply . ; He contended [ that the Northern Starh & i fairly reported the working classes . ' He had been , for upwards of seven years , the reporter for that journal , and could safely say , that during that period never had notice reached him in time of any trade meeting hut he had attended and reported their proceedings ; for the truth of this he could fearlessly . appeal to : shoemakers ,. carpenters , tailors , bakers , & c . ; and he woald appeal to Mr . Hanley , whom he saw present , if it was not so ; ( Mr . Hanley , "Yes . " ) Now , as regards the ' eigar makers , how his . friend , Mr . Brisck , could have fallen into such an error he could not conceive
Why , the meeting to which Mr . Brisck had . alluded was . held at the Halhof Science , City-road , at-a . latc period of the week , and he ( Mr . Siallwood ) had attended and taken a long report of Mr . Brisck ' s speech ; but in consequence of the late period of the week at whichthe meeting washeld , and the press ' ^ of matter , only the resolutions and the speakers names ap- ' peared in the last edition of the Northern Star ? ' \ ' Mr . Brisck , lhad forgotten , wheiil spoke that Mr . Stajlwpod Aid attend , and that the resolutions were inserted . I admit it was so . ( Latighler and applause . y' , : , ; '' {"• ¦ Mr . W .

M . Eey . n-oids , To the Chairman , & c ., & c . . The reading of this letter was greeted with loudcheers .
The chairman then introduced Mr Gerald Masse , who was much applauded , and said , when the tyrants bound old Galileo to- the stake for saying the world revolved round the sun , he winced j but when the cords were unloosed , he exclaimed : — "'It ' ' does move for all that ; " and notwithstanding all that modern tyrants could inflict—progress moves for all that . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Massey then moved the following resolution : — " That this meeting recognizing the fraternity of nations ' ids no vain phrase , but a vital and eternal -fact , and considering that a conquest gained by the people of one country is a victory for . the people of every other land , hails With
exultation the triumphs of the French Democracy , in the elections ofthe 10 th of March , aud . 28 th of April . And this meeting , regarding the preservation of Universal ; Suffrage as the great bulwark of the French Republic , and guarantee for universal , political , and social progress , trusts that the French people will defend their naturaVand ; constitutional ri ghts by any , and every means , agaust the dark designs and atrocious projects , of the royalist and money ^ nongering conspirators who aim , through the destruction of . Universal Suffrage in France , at the prolongation of the slavery and misery of the people of all nations . " Mr . Massey said
" Freedom forges her links from adverse fates j" : ; . '¦ : . The hypocritical tyrant the 3 ? ope , had come back , but freedom should come , for all that . ( Hear , hear . ) In Paris , Leclercyt whose only claim to the suffrage was , that in June , 1848 , he had fought against the people—had been defeated by the Socialist-Democrat , Eugene Sue . ( Great applause . ) The middle classes of France were like the Cobdens of England , in favour of unlimited competition , which meant everything for those who had the power to take , and nothing for those who produce , and yet are powerless . The next revolution would strike at the root of the Upas
tree . ( Loudcheers . ) Socialism had begun to make its way in England ; but capitalists said there are not means enough to employ all , but they forget that therets the land in prospective . They call the People canaille , hut he would remind them of what the Honourable . Sidney Smyth had written on ihat subject . [ Mr . Massey recited passages from Mr . Smyth ' s Poem , amidst great applause . ] The first French revolution had doubtless done its work , and so did that of 1830 , but it was only to raise the bourgeoisie a step higher . That of
1848 brought power to the people , whilst the insurrection of June was the commencement of the industrial straggle , when the proletarians exclaimed , " If we cannot live working wp . will die fighting ; '' and he repeated , the next revolution would strike at the root , and establish the rights of industry . ( Immense cheering . ) The proletarians had this consolation in . their struggle—if they do not make their-, condition better , it cannot be much worse . How long ' would Englishmen continue to erect palaces and live in hovels ? Would they ever consent'tp be pauper slaves , and continue to
" Rattle their bones over the stones , •' .... Being only paupers whom nobody owns . ? " . . A celebrated Spartan once caught a mouse , and it bit his thumb so severely that he set it free , when he exclaimed : " Thank Heaven there is no animal so contemptible but may gain its liberty , if it will only contend for it . " ( Immense cheering . ) Mr . AY . Dms , in seconding the resolution , said he was sure there was not a man in that assembly but felt himself exalted by the return of Eugene Sue . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Serle-the " Caustic" of the Dispatch—at the National Hall , had said he rejoiced in the return of Eugene Sue ; but not on account of Socialism or Communism , but because of its being ' an exhibition of the loyalty of the people to the Republic . But he ( Mr . Davis ) looked at it in
a different way . He looked at it as a protest ofthe workmen against the rampant tyranny of capital . ( Loud cheers . ) He thought it would be well if a good understanding prevailed amongst tho Proletarians of tho whole world . In fact , he wished that a universal language prevailed . Mr . Davis said this was the first meeting of tho Fraternal Democrats he was ever presentat . He was pleascdwith their earnestness , and hoped that the day was not far distant when kings and queens would be unknown . ( Applause . ) . , Mr . W . Cooper said , one of th . o speakers had wished a universal language prevailed ; and this meeting exhibited its love of universality . Tho Fraternal Democrats , too ,. exclaimed , " That all men are brethren . " It had been said , the French were their : natural enemies ; but rft was not so . ; Robert Kicol had very properly
said"Never aslc whither amimho a Cimstmn or Jew , Ifhe'be but honest and true . " The press said the people wero vulgar and brutal , It was " well to ; acknowledge that ignorance had caused them to hunt down , some of the best men that had ever lived . Robert Burns had said , "I admit the'ignovance , but what of the learned- ignorant ? " ( Loud cheers . ) The . "learnedig _ norant " had handed oyer the people to . those spiritual . ' policemen , the priests , who had kept them in darkness , and tlien said they were unfit for the ' exercise of power . ( Hear , hear . ) It was high time that knowledge was acquired ; but that knowledge was a
knowledge oi their nature—of science—and , especially of their own hearts—a . knowledge tq . px ' tenit . their rights , .,-and liberties .. . ( Cheers . ) .. - Let ^' -them never forget the article in the ' Advertiser ,. That paper was designated the "tap tub ;" and , remember , if the people-ceased to use the "tap , " the " tap tub ' . ' must cease to exist . But , after all , these charges against the masses , the working people : were the ; source of a nation ' s greatness . ( Loud cheers . ) The Groat Teacher of the World had put matters on their proper footing when he said , — " Ho who will not work , neither shall ho eat . " .. But the needlewomen—who wero their mothers and sisters
did " Stitch , stitch , stitch—Till their fingers wero weary and worn , "
and yet they wero clothed in " unwomanly rags . . No wonder the people should bo ignorant when such writ ers as Mr . Serie-tlic Caustic of the Dispatch had dared-to call the bravo men ,, who , m ' their - blouses , covered with blood and dust for- three nichts , protected the property of-their oppressors" Cannaille , thorabbie of the gutters of Paris , & c , but he caved not for the sneer of , a hireling press . Heliked the people , arid he liked his country . ' Ho could neverforget'that this was the land of . Chaucoiy Spencer ; Milton , Shelly , and Burns . ( Loud cheers : ) Tnbhlet ' "them ' purify their , souls' by drinking deeper at thcfoiiritain of those g lorious , spirits ; ' so . shqu d ¦ ¦

The Fraternal Democrats. '¦ - • ¦ \F 'V ...
about to commit one of tho most atrocious crimes . They wero there to aid in preventing tho middle classes from , putting . down democracy all over Europe and ^ neighbours oh ~ theif ; recent victory ; ' but in ' some weeK' - ' or . -fon / days- 'h ^ oo ^ they niigbt hear of the capital' of FraKce boihg ^; deln ^ ed with ' the blood , of the ' se brave . ' niepV ; ' The-pre ^ sadniitted / that ' ii moVe peaceful ' . ' election , had- never ; occurred in England , thati thatwhicfrhad'just ; terminated iii'theeleotio ' n ofEngeho siie ' r but no sooner had the result of : this election ^ iransji ^ d , \ than ' ;; the' President called ; the iieadsof '' alV . paftiesi idgether , Itoj consult on what were the best means . fov destroying the' Constitution ' of the ' Republic . ' - Now , were he' ( Mr . O'Brien ) aiid
the pooplejtb conspire to put'down the English Constitution ; they , would be handed over to the Jaws foi * yrosecutioii , ' and , the , press ' would demand the sacrifice , of their lives on ' the scaffold —( cheers ) --but in this matter of the French ' Republic the ' presa abets the conspirators . They might depend upon it , that should tho conspirators go Oh with their diabolical design , all France would run with human gore—every village , city , town , arid h ' amletj would become scenes . of blood and fire ¦ Vit was' threatened ' already-. Tho . brave French people rather than bo robbed a third time of the fruits . of ; their Republio , . would set fire to thepropertyoftho . rich throughout the country . ( Cheers . ) Thiswas against his principles ; but a French
evening paper , had dared calling tho peop \ er—the 128 , 000 who had voted foi' Eugene Suer-Cannibals , and had said , "if they remained in their lair they must be extinguished , and if they came out they must bo out'to pieces . " If they resolved on . such a course as this , then should he say , such a contemplated wholesale cold blooded butchery of the people would justify ' the deeds he had alluded to , and he should glorify ' the act . ( Tremendous and long continued cheering ;) There were two millions of men in Franco who understood thoir social rights , and were determined not to be put down by a set of fellows with quills behind their eara . What were the acts of petty criminals , who sacrificed their JiVes in expiation of their offences , wlien compared
to those monster criminals who took the land from the people , arid thereby destroyed thousands / of lives by hunger , created misery and discontent ,- and then hired assassins to innrder them ? Yet these fellows dared to deny the right of the people to a vote I Why , so , help hjs Goo , the people had one thousand times a better rig ht to veto than any of theso fellows could make out foi themselves . Proudhpn ' s paper had told the National Assembly that if it de > stroyed Universal Suffrage it sanctified the right ! of insurrection ; and since that period , La Voix chi Peuple had never been allowed to appear- ^ it had been suppressed , and ho believed that all the papers , with the exception of a government one , would be muizled . Look at that crew of fellows who had met at Crosby . Hall ; with their hypocritical pretence of'respect and sympathy for the working
classes , yet refusing to receive deputations from the National Charter Association aha National Reform League—the cheese-paring , candle-end saving , long hour exacting set of devils I ( Laughter . ) Humphrey Parry said ,. They did not sit there to hear Chartism or Socialism . Joseph Hume , too , had saidr"'Ifthe Ten Hours Bill passed , it would interfere with the sacred right of capital . " Such were theirPolitical and Financial Reformers . These were fair specimens of the " middle classes of all nations ; but when these men came amongst them , let them , be at once told they only represented the fag-erid of capital . ( Loudcheers . ) Let them ( the meeting ) not bo diverted froih their purpose , but push onward for their political and social rights . ( Great cheering . ) The beeting was then addressed Mr . J . J . Bmhjb and Mr . Le » o , after which
Joiiiif Habset who , on coming forward to speak in support of the resolution , was received with the most hearty cheering , said , that too often they had had to meet to express sympathy for tho defeated friends- of freedom—to offer consolation to the exiled and dungeoned champions of liberty—and to pay homage . to the memories of . the sainted martyrs who , overpowered by their enemies , bad laid down their lives on the scaffold , and sealed , with their blood , their devotion to the great principle of equality . Now they had assembled under happier auspices—to congratulate the democracy of Prance on their glorious victories in tho elections of the lOtlrof March and , the 28 th of April . ( Cheers . ) The Red Republicans of the Saone et Loire , who
had returned the whole of their candidates , in the March election , by a majority of 14 , 000 , had repeated their victory by an immensely increased majority , ( Applause . ) The majority in the Assembly having , by a factious vote , unseated the representatives for that department ; the insult thereby giveu to the people , had put them on their mettle , and the result had been seen in the triumphant re-election of the Red candidates by a majority of 24 , 000 votes . ( Great applause . ) The election of Eugene Sue was another glorious victory . ( Renewed applause . ) They . ; would remember the desperate efforts made by . tho Ordermongers to prevent the election of Carnot , Tidal , and De Flotte . They broke up theelectoralmeetings Of tho people ,
prosecuted their journals , and calumniated , their candidates : Carnot was painted as the ' apo stlo of- ignorance ; Vidal as the advocate of spoliation ; and De Flotte ' as the incarnation of anarchy and bloodshed . "' 'But intimidation , persecution , and calumny all failed , and the ' chosen men of the people were elected . ( Cheers . ) Tho atrocious tactics of the Ordermongers were' employed with increased violence on the occasion ofthe election of the 28 th of April . Without waiting for the passing of any law , the Government prohibited the electoral meetings of the democrats—prohibited the sale of all journals in opposition to the ruling , powers—expelled . from Paris numbers of unfortunate men whoso only crime was the want of employment—and , lastly , set all
their hireling scoundrels in the press to write down the character of Eugene Sue . He included in this lis . tr of hireling scoundrels the writers in the English daily papers , who had also joined in tho canting howl against Eugene Sue on the alleged immorality of his writings . Without pretending to' a very intimate acquaintance with the . writings of that popular author , he ( Mr . Harney ) would venture to affirm that there was more real immorality in a single page ofthe Times than m all the writings of Eugene Siie put together . ( Cheers . ) The immorality of the Times and such papers consisted ' not merely in giving columns upon columns of the filthy details of disgusting trials—though that was bad enough—but what was of more importance , in
giving support to a system which was the majn creator of immorality . What could be more immoral than day by day . to labour by lying and slandering to maintain the ascendancy of the enemies of humanity , and to destroy tho Mends and champions of justice ? ( Applause , ) Most likely Eugene Sue was like all other writers—not faultless , but he deserved the approbation ofthe suffering millions of every land , were it only for his enunciation of tho great truth , that "No one has a right to , superfluities while others xucint the necessaries of life . " That principle was as . good for England as for France —( hear ; hear)—and he ( Mr . Harney ) would go furtheiyahd say that those who at present enloyed superfluities had no right even to the
necessaries of life . ( Renewed cheering . ) Unless a man added to the common store he had no right to take from . that store ; and he would tell the readers of the Times , that thousands , and tens of thousands in England , were inspired with the same conviction . ( Continued , : cheering !) "Well , notwithstanding terrorism and calumny — notwithstanding . the devilish doings of that wretch , Carlier , who deserved to swing on a gallows as high as that on which Ilaman was hanged , Eugene Sue was triumphantly elected . ' ( Greatcheering . ) This popular victory had driven the Ordermongers to avow . their , determination to destroy Universal Suffrage . It was a -great fact , that tho rich were always either tyrants , or rebels . In this country
they professed to monopolise all loyalty , and at the Mansion House they stuffed and guzzled to testify their-attachment to tho Queen . But let Queen Victoria show herself able and willing to take . the lead of the great body of the people , in their-pursuit of equal rights , and equal laws , and forthwith ' the loyalty of . tho loyalists would ovaporato . They 'would rebel against both Queen . and people . . So in France , as long as the rich believed they could turn Universal Suffrage to their own account they professed loyalty to the Republic ; but now they found the people determined to exercise tho Suffrage for ' their own protection' ^ the traitors threw away all disguise , and avowed themselves in rebellion
against tho Constitution . After the election of I the first Assembly ^ ' the second Assembly , and that of tho "Special" President , the enemies of democracy chuckled over the folly of the people , and hugged themselves with the belief , thatunder cover of Universal Suffrage ¦ they might establish a moro grinding , tyranny . than had ever before existed . Awakened from that delusive dream they were now furious for . the destruction of Universal Suffrage . Yes . tho . defcndcrs of " Law and Order" wero conspiring to . subvevtthelaw , and plungo 'Franceinto ' the anarchy of a frightful civil war . 'Uo must repeat the atrocious words in which tho conspirators avowed their ; dark' and damnable- designs . The itawsaul , « We . arc ; surrounded by cannibals : If they , remaia lit . their lair thev must hn ^ Hn ^ hi ^ A
