My Friends, Vo W That The Differences Be...
My Friends , Vo w that the differences between me and th e National Assembl y have been settled b y . ' _, ur wisdom , your prudence , an ( i discretion , Sam . if possible , more than ever wedded to r-our cause , and more anxious for its triump h- -i . r led for tbe ri of
Manv who have strugg ghts h bmir until p opular strength and confidence _niuilethem worth being p urchased by your e nemies , have , endeavoured to establish your fickleness and instability by the standard of tlieir own treachery , and they have justified tbeir own desertion upon the false plea r / vour fickleness . The recent struggle , however , in which I have 1 een engaged—and in wliich you have so beroicallv bacKed _mer . niVi ? s " to me , though several apostates have l , een traitors who created popular enthusiasm , for the _purpose of -sell' _ins ; the p opular cause , that the people may be always relied upon . Mv dear , mv cherished , and onlv _friends—^
Villi ' , vho iive upon labour ;—to you 1 ; mi now wedded fir life , and to your cause , and to it r . !( . ne . I will devote every hour cf that life , and i ts sacrifice , if necessary . L : i _''' "irer . _-= , a new era has dawned upon us ; hut no ne w policy shall I adopt . I found you weak : 1 have made you strong ; . You accepted rne - a free _ffift _. when _' _young' ; your confidence _, v _. uir _hosp itality _, and generosity , when exiled ; - ir _(\ _fyotion to Ireland , entwines around me - ; n ir . v old age " , though , perhaps , you will he Had " to learn that yo ur manifestations of love
have made me young again . '" _Lr- ' _jourers , though not of yonr order , I think of you , and only of you : and I have abandoned the order of idlers to make myself se rviceable to you : and now hear me . Labourers , labour is the source of all wealth . Itis the duty of a Government to cultivate the national _resources ; justice de _^ _Tiwiids tbe equitable distribution of tbese resources , and reason and nature tells me that tiie _prober following of those maxims would _ffii _' . se tiie l'k'h richer , and the poor rich .
Labourers , < i ain . again _. and again , let me call Yi . r _. r undivided attention to the fact , tbat in nn country in tiie world , from the days of the Gracchi down to the French Revolution , has tiie labourer been used for any other purpose , _wl-e ! iier moral or p hi sical , than to make the rich richer and the pyor poorer . They are the instruments in the hands of artful and _designini : " rascals , who create enthusiasm by prop _ounding impracticable and fascinating theories _, by which they mount t o power , and whe . n _exalted , they are the first to adopt _precautiongrv measures to strengthen their own hands , una weaken the power of those by whom they have been elevated .
Labourers , I have told vou to watch the _proceedings ofthe French _Provlsisnal _Government ; : nd the National Assembly with a jeal ous and a scanning eve . My opinions , gai ' lereil from past history , were _strengthened } _,-. - t ; _.-e treachery and treason of the despot of P r _: ]~~' : u who owed his crown to the toleration of I / ibour . and then marshalled his mercenaries to destroy them . _Labourers , for now twelve weeks the la _borers of France have been looking for their share of the revolution , and the shopkeepers constituting the National Guard and the standing army ofthe Republic , have been used to overawe them . Do not _mistake me b y suppu'ii _!^ that I fr aternise in princi p le with tiie Communists of Paris , but what I do contend for ,
i _>— Fi : _? ? v—That the question of Labour should have constituted the primary duty of the National X = * ernbly . Secondly—That a Minister of Labour , as demanded l , v the friends of Labour , should have Isen added to the Cubinet . And third l y —Thatthe voice ofthe several secti ns of industry should have been sent in a _digested form to the representative assembl y of the nation . Her _? thpn are faults on both sides . Faults i . _poii the part of those who failed to perform t ' _lfii _dutv without pressure ; and faults upon
the part of those who failed to take the earliest I' _- _'pi'Uunitv , after their victory , to . make the legitimate pressure . _Laborers of _England , I now apply tbis re . ' _is--T : i ;> ir , making allowance for the difference of vour position , to your case . The French are ? . w _. _- _. riike nation , who _struuided with their life ' s l-i'jnd for Democracy . There are not those m _.-r . y _grades of society in France which _constitute your social system . You are a nation whose enthusiasm can be only roused either b \ the amount of countenance you receive from those above you , and who wield the power of the law , or bv the pungent sting of poverty ,
destitution , and want . Labourers , my _struggle has been not merely U ' . ' ! :. k . > vou a powerful , as you are a valuable _cl-its . but to make \ vu the most powerful , as y ou are the most valuable ; and now that delu-» :. _- : ii mid deception would once more weaken and destroy you . let me refer to my old policy a ; .-: its re-ults . Labourers , when I was in the felon ' s cell , _a-: d when the Free Traders sought to destroy the _Chartist movement hv leading the world t- suppose lhat Chartism had merged into Free Trade , and when pompous authority relied uciui the policeman ' s truncheon as a
subs : i . _- ute for _argument . I told you to appoint _v-. ' . _ir Looal Committees , to agree upon a final P ' _dh-y ; to £ « to their meetings ; to hear _ify-m weit _; _hfard ; to strike if you were struck . Y = u adopted this policy , and , although you " ' - ;' " _designated as ' ' violent and destructive ( . h . _- . _rti-ts , '' vou yet compelled the press ofthe ( --. ¦ ' . ii . _ii v to " proclaim your _strength lo the w _.-ii-hi . arid thus did we " hold Chartism in the _ascendant . Now , again , when every breeze _i- _itdvltHt _tiftheatrwigth , the virtue , and the i _ur . _^ eoi ' Chartism , the flag of deception is once more raised , and we are asked again to
r . ijj y around it . _Labourers , what _prineiple'insures tbe asceiic -. rev of mind , and for what purpose are public _r-tvtin _^ s held : The will of the majority is the ;• _-i-ei-dancv of public opinion , and public _meetings are convened for the purpose of _expressi-: ! z that will : and . although the world sliould p ropound a different policy now in our _strength , i will adhere b y my motto , my princi ple , and my honoured and unsullied dag , a : ci , with the brave men of Northampton , I v ill sav , *'• Chartists , come forth in your might .
y _.-ur majestj , and yonr glory , and prove to li ; ig * . \>« d anil the world that _. Chartism is , and _0 ; . - ' > _:.-.-dl he . in the ascendant . " Labourers , abandon this chance and be for ever fallen , crouch before the resuscitated ¦ . :: t :: ' \—enly emboldened by y our toleration a . d _siii'M-i viencv—and you sink to rise no r _> : ore . U p on the oilier " hand , _jiroclaim your principles unsullied , unadulterated , and unmutiJ .-itt-ii ; _L-dding fast by eery brir-tle of the _It-u , and the devil and ail his imps cannot long _vustpone vour triumph .
_M . _;» ilists , awake Irom y < _mr slumber , throw off vour apathy , and while I will vote for every _n-oiliiicaiiun of the sy > tem , enable me to say in my ph . ee in Parliament , that theie is power _i-e .-bind ' this link Reform greater than the _j'tlie Reform itself , and that hy that power ve v ill stand . _L-ihoi-rci's , do not be alarmed about me ; do '¦ ot seek to make me respectable by the _lowering f-. f \ our fiag , or the slightest abandonment of v . mr _piincip _les . I have dragged them _iin-ieib scd _" , S _' _.-orn , and persecution , and with
_ymr _.-uppt _. rt they shall shortl y he the adopted or . _ul . ou' . urfcd of all ; but you must ail put y our :-i : _< . uldersto the wheel , as without you I am weak and powerless—with you I am strong aid i . ! i ? _iin- ' . iile . L ; _d'ii :: rers . _. dthough reviled or unnoticed by ¦ j ! jl- j less you find ho v . " my views accord villi tie _lining _^ _-eiiiiis oi _otiu r nations . In writing upon the c ; ; i-l : iution of America I pointed out t '; e ( i _;> atiwiiitair « _'s arising irom the mode oi eiecting the President , and I recommended the \ - e _; ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ¦ _;<¦ o { Fi a _.-iee to elect an _Executive _Couni-oiiivr , ' . _sitii a view to the destruction of
My Friends, Vo W That The Differences Be...
that rivalry and jealousy which precedes and follows the election of a President . Fifteen years ago 1 contended for the addition of a minister of agriculture to the cabinet , as agriculture may be made , " and must be made , the staple manufacture of the country—as the onl y free labour market where the real value of labour may be ascertained . Well , see what has been done in tbe _National Assembl y of France ! The most democratic of its members invei ghed against the mode of electing a President in America , and they have elected a Council of Five as the National Executive , and , still further , they have demanded that a Minister of Labour shall be added to the Cabinet .
Labourers , if we had a Chartist Parliament to-morrow I would contend for a Minister of Labour—a Minister of Trade—and a Minister of Agriculture , constituting the chief strength and value ofthe Cabinet , and I would contend for the appointment of twelve Trade and Labour Commissioners , who should represent every department of trade , . elected by trade and labour , divided into twelve sections , and prudently classified under those several beads , which would ensure the fair and just working ofthe whole , and those Commissioners should be elected annually by the several sections of industry thev represented , but should not hold seats in Parliament .
Labourers * , having given you my candid opinion upon those several subjects , I shallnow proceed to a more minute consideration of the policy requisite to be observed in our own movement . I have received numerous letters asking me , if it is witli my own wish that I abandon my office as one of the Executive , and in repl y to all , I beg to state that I should find it impossible , with my numerous avocations , to _discharge the duties _appertaining to the office ;—while , if you consider that . my being a member of that body would give increased confidence to the Chartists , I beg to assure you , that those that have vour confidence shall have
my confidence , and that I shall as scrupulously defend their characters as I would defend my own character , and tbat 1 will give them the same aid and support that I have g iven to those with whom I have so long acted ; that I will allow no p lot or conspiracy that comes to my knowledge to be hatched against them , so long as they faithfully _discharge their duty to vou .
Labourers , you must support them if you expect their services to be efficient , and their whole time must be devoted to the organisation of tiie industrious mind ofthe country ; and apart from all other considerations , they must develope the Labour question in so plain and simple a manner as will convince the sons of toil that tiie realisation of iheir objects is worth living for , and worth dying for .
Labourers of England , Paris is France , hut London is not England ; it is to the provinces that I look—it is to the souls that have been wrung with sorrow—and although I was opposed to a sacred holiday of a month ' s duration in 1 S 39 , when the mind of England is prepared , I shall lie prepared to recommend the total cessation or labour for three days , in order to demonstrate the will of the many , in opposition to tiie despotism ofthe few . Labourers , believe me that we must have a demonstration of the mind of this country , and that that demonstration must not be confined to the metropolis , but must be stamped with the impiessof the National Will ; and . should Mr Hume ' s motion fail on the 23 rd as fail it
assuredly will ) , it is my intention to bring on my motion for the whole hog , asking the country to back n ; e by abstaining from labour until the result of the debate is made known ; thnt is , that during the discussion Labour shall have its holiday , which perhaps may lead to its jubilee . Labourers , I am not one to juggle you , because I « m the hardest worker amongst you , and your triumph would proclaim your holiday and my reward ; bat I tell you that you are not to depend upon the House of Commons . I
told Mr Hume last week , as I told ]\ Ir O'Connell iu 1 S 43 , that I would believe in the sincerity of no professing Liberal party in that House , who , upon being defeated upon sucb a question of Reform as he means to propose , would not instantl y cross to ihe other side of the Ilouse , and offer a continuous and systematic-opposition to the Government in power . His answer was , " Mr O'Connor , we want MEASURES , NOT MEN " I replied . " That wes the policy of the National Assembly , but to get measures you must destroy the power of men to oppose them . ' '
Labourers , you are the source of all wealth ; you feed , you clothe , you warm , and you house every Member in the House of Commons , every Peer in the House of Lords , and the Queen upon the throne ; and if you had the same amount of support in the House of Commons that Landlords have—that Placemen and _Pensioners have—that Manufacturers havethat . Merchants , Traders , and Bankers havethat Lawyers have—that Railway Directors have—that Naval and Military Officer * -
havotiiat Shopkeepers have ; I say , that if you had the power in the House that any one of tlio . se idle sections have got , you would have the Charter in a month ; because the friends jf the Charter would . sit as I do—in opposition to tiie Government in power , and would watch their opportunity to hurl them from office , i Labourers , I have been very constant and resolute in my opposition to all Governments , and neither Government nor faction shall have my support ; so long as your rig hts are withheld .
Labourers , although I have buried in oblivion the acts of some of the members of the late Assembly , yet injustice to myself , and to you , f feel bound to tell you that a more systematic conspiracy was never concocted against mortal man ; and tbat I have had forwarded to me some of the orig inal letters of the conspirators , written to their constituents , and perhaps you will scarcel y believe that SO dark was my revenge , that I furnished the mpans to many of those Delegates , whose constituents repudiated them , to enable them to go home . Now , perhaps , as others have said aforetime , they will say that my object was to destroy tbem ; but lean onl y say , tbat I hope that _all men s enemies will meet with the same _destruction .
Labourers , amid my many avocations I can steal time from sleep to perform your work and , without neglecting my building and agricultural operations , the whole of the next number of the " Labourer" shall be devoted tn the Labour Question . It shall be written by night , in my " cold quiet _homeland in it I undertake to expound the whole Labour Question , as it never was expounded before , and to prove to the world that Great Brit win is capable of sustaining a population of over ONE
HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLIONS , not in abundance , but in luxury ; and if I prove this , and if you do not realise it , do not let me hear a single moan of complaint , beeause , to be convinced of it , and not to seek to _accomplish it , will stamp you in my eyes as willing slaves . Labourers of England , have you learned the _L-ibour Question from any plan but miner And yet are tbere many who are dissatisfied with the amount of service I have performed ? Now you , for whom I struggle , ask yourselves this simple question— ' * If one inevery . ten of our own orV . er had worked ia our cause , : ¦ £

O'Connor has worked , what would be tiie result ? " Well , if you cannot answer that question , I will Ifl had 10 , 000 men of my mind in England , England and Ireland would be released from despotism in one ' week . Labourers , so much more of the conspiracy to which I was to have been sacrificed has been developed since I last addressed you , that I must repeat the feeble thanks which I tendered to your order last week for your protection . It provQs to me that a good man stands in no danger from the villain , and that you , the Labourers of England , are worth living for , and worth dying for .
Labourers , g lorious Labourers , you wb ° 'h ' e in the sweat of your own brow , and for whose rights and comforts 1 have _struggled for aquarter ofa century , and for whom I will still struggle , determined to leave the world better than 1 found it , I remain , Your faithful , unpaid , and unpurchaseable Representative , Friend , and Leader , Feargus O'Connor ,

TO JOHN MITCHEL , EDITOR OF THE " UNITED IRISHMAN . " My _Deah Mitchel , —When I think of yon , ofyour heroic mother , of your devoted wife , and your five babes—when I think of Ireland , and the blood that the assassins have shed in that green and lovely land , my mind roves back to days of yore when p atriotism was virtue , and treason against Ireland was a crime . Mitchel , the law calls you a felon , and you are confined in yoar dungeon , but fear not . Mitchel , I rejoiced in the triumph of O'Brien and Meagher , and I said to myself , — "Alas ! BRAVEcmntry _, Almost PREPARED to know itself . "
But , when I heard not your name mentioned in the exultation of the liberated , I covered my face with shame , and I said , " Can it be that the first victim under the Whig Treason Act against Ireland , is forgotten in his captivity ?" Mitchel , not a member of your own famil y feels more deepl y for you than I do : it is not maudling sympathy , it is the pungency of vengeance , that a Saxon despot should
hold an Irish lion in _hondajze . I was g lad to find that one brave voice in the exulting crowd asked after Mitchel , and believe me that thnt voice will be responded to throughout the length and breadth of the land . Mitchel , as I told the tyrants ? when discussing this Bill , they can pack their jury , arid may secure their verdict , but still I have hope .
Oh ! that I could write as I feel—and that those for whom I labour could spare mej but , alas ! the law of the oppressor is , for yet a little , too strong for the aspirations of the oppressed—that is , for aspirations openly and advisedly poured forth , * but , Mitchel , if you are convicted by the Whig Treason Act , my head shall feel no pillow until your manacles are struck off . ; I can tolerate petty acts of tyranny , and I can bear the lion ' s share of oppression , when I know that the giant can return refreshed to his work ; but " life would be a burden if 1 withheld my assistance from » devoted _countryman in the hour of danger .
Mitchel , if you are convicted , I will traverse the land by night and by day , before your honoured mother , your devoted wife , and orphan babes , shall mourn for your expatriation ; and let not any man in Ireland suppose that he has gained a triumph in the acquittal of O'Brien and Meagher , if Mitchel is victimised . Again assuring-you of my devotion to the cause you espouse , I remain , Your faithful friend and countryman , Fi'ahgus O'Connor .
Address Of The Provisional Executive To ...
ADDRESS OF THE PROVISIONAL EXECUTIVE TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION . The plan of organisation , as agreed to by your representatives , is now before the country , and we deem it necessary to append a few explanatory remarks thereon . The Executive Committee , as at present constituted , is merely provisional , aud subject to your approval or rejection . We are _ent-. usted with the presentation of lhe Memorials to her Majesty . Many of the districts have not as yet forwarded Memorials passed by them on Good Friday , April 21 . We ask such districts to bave the Memo rials engrossed aud signed by the Chairman of tbe meetings presiding on the occasion , and to forward _iheni forthwith .
The raising of money in aid of the Liberty Fund is important , and we recommend the district and local councils to issue collecting books , giving the same only to parties well known , and in whom the localities have confidence . All books to he signed b y the treasurer and secretary of the branch , and no books to be circulated for sucb pu _; poses if not signed . You will observe tbat every precaution has been taken to secure tbe proper appropriation of tbe fund collected ; and as the _question of labour is llie great question of tbe day , involving the true interests ol ail the citizens of the state , we hope ior support from tbe trades , as the welfare of tbe producing classes is with us a paramount consideration .
There no longer exists a money qualification as tbe test of admittance , so ibat tbe peasant and peer , without distinction of class or wealth , are alike eligible to have their names enrolled on the books ; honesty of purpose and sympathy of wi l l , being thc surest guarantees of sterling patriotism . We recommend the continuation of all localities and districts now organised , and it will he our studious endeavour , by means uf tracts , addresses , and the exertions ot ths Commissioners , to spread a knowledge of the People ' s Charter , and establish localities where none
now _exibt . Democracy in its true spirit is developed in the local government of the Association , localities having power to collect , control , and appropriate funds for local purposes , as they deem fit ; and we feel confident tbat the lull acknowledgment of local authority , will exercise a salutary influence over tke entire movement , and prove satisfactory to all the members , councils , of districts and _localises having f'Al power to act by virtue of their election to office , f . nd independent of confirmation by the Es cutive body .
In the present attempt to organise the Chartist movement , we are cheered by tbe hope that at no distant day , we will be _successful in gathering the scattered elements of political power into one focus ; and as exactness in the machine is indispensable to perfection and power , we express a wish that the local officers will be strict in tlieir business arrangements , and regular and orderly in the discharge ot their public duties . We beg also to remind ihem , tbat we have adopted a _conciliatory and manly
policy towards the liberal anil enlightened id a ll classes , but we are as resolute as ever against despotism and injustice ; and wben our organisation is completed and in efficient act ' on _, we hesitate not to declare that tbe united power of the millions _wib lie the conquering ally on the side of light , and th sure pled ge of progression and freedom . _EtiMiST Jonfs , Joim _M'Crak , Samuki .

TO THE MEN OF HALIFAX . Lo . _ndon , Monday , May 15 , 1818 . Fbllow-Cocntrymkn , — Having betn _ honoured with the repve .-entation of your district in tho late Convention nnd ir > thc National Assembly , I oiinaider it my duty to address you on tbe present positioi . ol our movement . You will recollect that in the Convention certain dele _« at' . _a opposed our _proceedings on the ground that oumu _' fflbers were too limited fairly to represent thc country . I was in favour of tho _Cimvoruion _continuir _(? its sessions , as I _cens dered tint , in _cri'i al tin _e-j like the present , a _legislative _budy , s : _iiall in _numb-r , wm best ca cu _' a _' . ed to get on wich busi n > - * , and avoid mere _talking aad discussion .
_Finuins ! . _hiwever _. that a majority would bo in favour of breaking up the Convention , I feared that the railing together of a _larger b _« iy would be a _ra-itter of dubious oicurrer . ee , unless the Cuivemion declared itself pernianm . t until tha meeting o ! the _lattt-T . I therefore supported the pBi mar . erc .- of the C ' onvemi n until the _mi . e _, inj ; clan Asjen . b ! y of cue hundred del _.-.-ta t ' S . 1 wns the mi _t-u- impressed with the necessity for the formation of an nr _^ anis ; d bdv of cur _repre-entitiw ? , in- seeing that a R , fo ; m-Lea ;; iie was being established in the House of Oun . _mers . We f . _irtvaw that tha entire ruidiU-j class would support this party—and that tho ministry would h _: ve ti ji .

National Assembly , tbatbodj would , in itself , haye a _couuterbalancine weig ht and power ; at _ncu claim the notice of tbe Press ; the attention of Government j and by means of the memorial , aud other _adventitioua aids , create an un paraUel <* d _exciiement _chroughout the coumr ? ,--aD e . _ioiteroent which no _> ihing but such a body would be _maMed to control and _organise , w . _tt _saiety to the principles of Chartism and Demooraey .
In _tbedisorganiBedata _' oofV / other parties , combined with the pecuniary difficulties of the govern * ment , suoh a course must inevitably have paced _thtf Cbartist body in thefronl ; rank ofthe Ref _^ im-Move * ment—must inevitably bave made thu _Cuiir or , ' whole and ei tire , ' thu ieading principle of t _. ' ie day , —which is abundantly proved by the fact , that even after the untoward circumstances connected with tha late Aa 8 embly , the middle clans bave at last _recognised our power , and one of their principal jumala says ; —
' Ifthe Chartr 6 _ts will bnt abandon , for a ssa-on their own _agitation , and join heart nnd soul in tha great middle-class movement , we confidently _, _' predict the almost immediate triumph of tbat _movement . * * * * ' The holding of simultaneous OhartiBt meetings in all large town * f < r this _apeciai _pufpesa , would insure the immediate triurap ' i of the cause , for which the Reform-League is now in the _coirae of or _^ ani-ation . ' | Thus , disorganised , divided , as thej _supposems ti be , the middle class confess tbaf ; _we'hoiiiifi 00 c hands the powier o { insurjpg _^ _'the'iinftiedfab triumph" of their _etiuse . ; , B _^»; just ' anali ) gy wfepould prevent that' _immediate frft imp % X , _Xi ¦ ¦ _«* We _fchusBfcill _hold . if seceMury _$ i > vier . , But , I ask you , had an & 88 emSiy _,- ' of ; i . 0 ' 0 i'een aittfhj _.

Te _« _sisted our movement , cr hare prevented our success ? . , ,,: ; yy Should it b , a argued that the government _miglttiater / fer _^ wi fcM _6 _^^^ and _ffhoco _lanj-uas-e could scarcely have been more hostile ? Did it interfere with the Assembly , r . _hnsa numbers exceeded sixty ? And why did il not ? Becauso it dared not . _Hecaiise it knew that an act ) of aggression on _i ' / . * part , would _placi the finish rig stone to the fabric of revolution . JJccause , nver-ing the fable of the _ancien-s , which pr < mmd that _Iip , who struck the first blow , should be the winntr , 'ue government knew that he , who struck the fit id Ujw , w . iuid be the loser .
Sixty-two _delegates , _indifferen-ly _supported by tha people , have sat f . _ir a fortnight , and not haen infer * fered with One hundred , backed by the people , would have seen ! e _< s Danger still ot g ivemment _interference . It is no argument to say that , tin k power _beiDg weakened , being divided among them _^ elv _>!> _thet-overnmentdid notthiuk _th-. m worth _miletitiiijj . They , at : e : _ist _, _thongtrt them worth watching con * tinuousiy by two special reporters—and it is vain to deny t ; at they are aware of our p iwer , and tw . t au _interference with tbe _Agsemblv , no-withstanding partial d ilVr . ! nce 9 , would have been a d _< clara ' . ion of w-ir against the peopio .
But the _ie , 'i £ iraate display of our power has been _invented—tho great plan been frustrated by _unforeseen circumstances , for which , 1 verily _believe n _^ _ne aro to blame , bus which are attributable to nm _oal _misundsrs _' _a-idini ' saDd irritation . Ton much wei . ht ha _* been attached to hasty words and individual opinion * on eitbe- side . This has pass-d . The division is again _bsint _; healed But tbe _gteit _nn-rai i-aflu nee of an Assembly of 160 , backed ry _enthusiasts _miiliatiS , has been prevented . Instead of hein _» in the field simultaneously with fhe middle class movement , uie have been thrown back -the middle _ulasa have _bjen al owed to _guiu ihe start of us . We are ia a _accon ary position , _whereas W < J ought to , , ind might bave been , in a primary one . But we are not yet b ; . ftlj ) . We may still , by rcdoub ed efforts , make up fir tho hai time and regain tbe va _itayearound .
Do not let the middle class carry their movement until we are sufficiently _orsaniatid t * _uks thc bad with ours . Look on with _calra _indifL-rence , while they _assist in sapping the _fmindnfon _* of _Whiuf ery —for , mark eh » , it is 1 nly Whiggery . and not rr . owpoly , thev are _undermining . They , mt you will ba _fjeuer 1 tf for the change . What makes them _strong er , makes you weaker—for our strength at ttus moment _consists in being the balance of power _bccWceii the 'IanJul' and tho 'monied' classes Whin the latter Iiavo subverted the ' landed interest , ' ihey will , tbemsdves , re-moiiepolise tbe land . They _« iil
throw a treat portion of taxation off ' . heir mvn ahnulders . They w \\ l thu ? increa e th * ir _proli > . But slow me ono measure they havo _propounded which , will really benefit the working _cJastes . Thtir ' extension of tbe BUffras-e" * nay bo a second edition of the Return ) Bill ( somewhat altered and adapted t _* > tbe year ' 48)— whil « the increased control of landed snd monied capital will eo far to counterbalance an ' extended'franchise . Again , how often does _:-. bill not c > me out ol the crucible of Parliament , _soal-ered . from whit it was when first introduced , that its own father wou'd not _recognise bis 1 _fT-f-ring .
Bit without as , they , confessedly , _, _-annit cirry their movement- Let them naif , _Shen , till wc aro ready—till we aro ( ully organised . This last interval —this last reprieve—is yet given ; l _^ t us empl > y it _tvefl ,- acd tii en tho ' fi , e ( i . rm League' nilUee na al eruative hit but to j . vin us in _proclaimir « the Charter , or stand tbtir chance with lhe wreck of monopoly . To profit by this interval—to _e-tir / _in'o ( ff _^ c ; that _organisation , without which the movement cannot succeed , the Assembly haa _dissolved—9 _t ' nco such a body should have the undivided jupimrfc ofthe people . It has dissolved , to heal th _^ brooc h iu democracy . I trust another and a larger bydf will ,
ere l . m , r , be called , to storm the breach of _tdor _.-ojioly . Om word as to the violent _lansuatte which ha 3 been reprehencle 1 as being used in the _hite Convention . I see in it but tbe man ' y iudi _^ i mtitm of _al-Migoppressed peope . Sueh is tbo a _^ pallins- mitery tf the country , that I almost wonder not to bave beard ptiil 8 tn ; ng « r language . Mi , 'der _^ ords would havo belied the feelings of that Convention , and 1 honour the _ilelet-iUea _ for having _fiiwrr _/ e'l to play the hypo-Ciite . Such is tho language of revolution , and in tha midst of revolution we hf > w live . We cannot expect to hear the tinkling of a _guiiar from ; un < mg the thunder-clouds .
It has _taen 9 aid , the strong _lam-uaeo used caused _government to prohibit tha _ineeti-i _;; nnd nroce .-sii _. n on the 10 th of April last , and to display its armed brutali . y . _We-re there no other reason , this would bu a sufficient one ia vindn-ati > n of every threatening word . _Thus-3 threats , then , _dragged tbe cloven hoot from under tho Wni _^ petticoat . Tr . o .-e _threes , then , forced the government to show its true cul _jUU —placed it in a false position—and _ifl '» . _- »! e . l Uie Chartists _tb-. _> . opportunity of displaying at onee their _courage , their love of pe _» _ce and order , and _tueir ge _' . _lcommiiuiL
Let us still exercise these qualities We have get an immediate task _before Ua—that of ors . ani . « aciou . While the seauen d elements oi elass _le _^ isV . ion ara _bi'dinint ; daily more _disorj-anised—our duty will bo to _centralize our _strength—keeping" ourselves distinctly and entirely _abor from every political movement _shi-rt ofthe _Charter . Let the oppres-e < i of all _classes thus _Bte thatthey can carry _rothintj without our aid . We Blnll thus jjain _greater wei _ght than by _sti-ecji'hvning the hands of individual parties ou
section il questions , aud thus , as th ; _various t ' j ctioi . s are falling away arwund us , wa may bo Mien rising in _uii-iiiiuled and undivided _strength .
