betting lorth dinercnce ol Times in the early . ' days compared with the present .
[ The following aign of popular discontent is at _present , in course of circulation in the county of Cade and Wat Tyler . 1 Who furnishes the tables of tlie great with all the dainties which they enjoy ? _Answkr The Agricultural Labourer . Who decorates their persons and houses with all tho grandeur which thev appear in ? Asbwbr—• The Mechanical Labourer . To whom are they indebted for all tbeir enjoyments in this life ? Answer . —The Labourer . " Then why should the Labourer be punished with starvation while he is bringing it for them ? What would the Drone Bees ofthe hive do , were it not for the Working . 'Bees who build the cells and gather all the honey ? The workman is worthy of his wages , Ia value full for all his toll ; It is written so in sacred pages ,
Nor tax his food , his life to spoil . Describe tbe Custom and Manners with the Farmer and hiH Workman in the early days and the present , I will divide the times under two names , tlie Pillion days and Carriage days . What do you mean by Pillion days ? Answer . — The Farmer used to carry his wife behind him on a Pillion to Church , and they were called Dame and Master .,. How did they treat tbeir workpeople then ? As * bwbr . — -They both knew their workmen , and they were permitted tha use ot the kitchen lire to eat their dinner in bad weather , and the good-natured people would cut tho man a piece of pork or bacon to make their lot the better .
Around the farmer ' s rural board , Harmony and love abounded ; Pride did not appear to aff .. rd Her curse , as peace purr « undod ; So much for the good Old Round Frock Farmers . Now describe the Carriage days . —In these times pride has changed the good tor tbe worse , and the Farmer and his Wife have a carriage te ride in , and they must be called Madam and Sir , and the workman is forbid the use ofthe kitchen fire , and if thev
Bhould neglect to bow to the broom at tho back door they ara sure to affront the maid , or some ofthe pigs , or some other who may have caught the contagion . What makes all this difference ? Answer . — Pride , by separating that reciprocal union wbich used to exist between the Farmer and his Workman . Pride the first great curse to man , Murdered union , peace , and love ; Sent thc heart wandering dutp in plan , To evade the dictates from above ; So much for the Boarding School Farmers .
. I have heard many farmers complain much of the heavy burden of the government taxes , but I never saw one who murmurcdor showed any discontent at the enormously heavier tax with which they voluntarily tax themselves by their pride . " _,. The English Poet says of Babylon , Thus terribly 'did Babel Call and never more be be found at all . ' Mention some of the places gone down by Pride , — Babylon , Tyre , and Sidon , & c . It becomes every Christian to pray that tbe hearts of the people may be turned in the right way that the evil may be prevented , or in future days , America and Australia may have to say-How terribly ha ? England fallen 1
Mnrisr On Iuk Tflaiiss.-On Saturday Much...
_Mnrisr on _iuk TflAiiss .-On _Saturday much interest was occasioned along both sides of the river Thames by the sudden and unexpected _stoppapo of the whole of the _Bteara boats belonging to the Iron Steam-boat Company , viz ., Matriraonv , Bride , Bridegroom , Bridesmaid , Wedding-ring ; Ac . It appears that when the men were paid on Friday night the engineers and st -Iters received notice that in future their wages wauld be lowered , and ih consequence the whole of the engineers and stokers struck . The captains , not being aware of the circumstance , went , as usual , to their boats , when , te their no small surprise , they perceived that no tires had been made , and no steam generated . Upon inquiry as to the cause , they learned that the engineers and stokers would not attend the boats unless the _^ Company would promise that they should receive fciieir full pay for their services . The captains of the two upper boats ., which leave Chiswick and Kew . not
Knowing that the others vessels , had stepped _, started , as usual down the river ; but on reaching Nine Elms the engineers and _atokeTB finding the funnels of the other boats lowered , and learning what had taken place , _aho refused to work , and the whole ofthe boats were , consequently , laid up for the remainderofthedav . On Sunday , the directors , in order to provide accommodation for the publio traveUing by their vessels to and from the Nine Elms Station of tho South-western Railway , acceded to he rate of wages demanded by three o ? £ crows to set that number of vessels running _JSKSSC * " - 8 n , Klra , o L * _~

_j-V- _** _- _** - " I I I I ' — THE LAND PLAN AND THE DYING DISPATCH . TO THE BmTOR OF THB 1 M > BTHBRN 8 T "• _*" . Sib , — On perusing a _recent numter of the Weekly Dispatch , I could not but notice with disgust the envenomedspltit of the author of on article in that paper condemnatory of Mr O'Connor's Land Scheme-a scheme fraught with benevolence , and . _calculated to raise tbe condition of the industrious poor from a state of pauperism and degradation , to comparative comfort and _lade-, pendence . . The writer of the article alluded to would fain make the world believe that th _« reis no such feeling as disinterested heroism , in favour of themas « s—an opinion derogatory to that sense of right and justice felt by every honest man . I am convinced that there are men in the world ( _notwtthstsndiKg the corruptions of existing society ) who from principle _delight to disrobe
, self-interest to elothe public good . I believe Mr 0 Connor to be one of this class , and even should he fail in effecting his philanthropic intentions , a connection with the Land _Scheme , ' ! shall acquit him of _bting influenced by any motives but those of honour and integrity . In the course of a long experience in the world , I have frequently notioid that when a benevolent system has been established , ailadve ' _raary Iirb sprang - up , who , aemon * like , has endeavoured to mar its beauty , cr to destroy it altogether . Such _appears to be the intention ofthe au » hor of the rancorou Bartlcle in the _DispatcSi— -a paper which the A ' oi ' _tftcrn Star is rapidly eclipsing ; in the west of England , for as numbers of respectable _tradesmen and
others subscribe to the Land System , _tht-y are , of course , interested , in the weekly _rsports of tho Northern Star . As a proof of the declining state of the Dispatch in this part of Devonshire , I have only to state the fact , that in tbe towns of Ashburton , _BuckfastWgh and district , containing a population of 10 , 000 persons , in which two j ears since sixteen c-ptcs of _thei Dispatch were purchased weekly , the circulation has now dwiadledto the insi .-nificaut number of three . Hence " , arises the malicious opposition , and the mean spite with which the _sinking Dispatch attempts to depreciate the National Land Scheme .

CHARTIST TOWN . COTJNCILLORS . TO TUE BMTOE OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sia —Having seen by tho Star that the Tiverton Chartists have elected Mr Rowcliffe to tbe town council , I would wish t > urge upon them the _propriety of carrying out the attempt to have some share in the local Parliament . Norembcr is near , and the votes which carried Mr _RowcliftVs election , can carry any other man they may determine to support . Having been successful in one ward , _sbouli induce them to contest all . They knew not their strength in that ward till they made the attempt , and were successful , and it may be the cue in all the other wards of Tiverton . Nay , If they p «* ever « wc may yet see Mr Rowcliffe mayor of , and Harney M . P . for , Tiverton .
StuffiVld , last year , returned two town-councillors ; and tbe Sbemelders can , at the least , return two morehut I cannot beliivo that a town , having a municipal constituency of 12 , 800 ( see the Sheffield _Independent ) , will be satisfied with two more _representatives ofthe working man's interests . Leeds , again , will , I trust , do something . ManchtsUr , too , has its Robetts and otbeTS . Cannot the * he _malethemeansofshowingthepeoplo ' sstrength 1 Ii Norwich , vrhich greeted Mr O'Connor with its thousands , to be without a veritable Chartist in its local assembly t , Nottingham , which returned our champion , fn opposition to the' Whig hack , caa surely do something .
Exeter Plymouth , Derby , and numerous other towns , _should move . We shall , at any rate , make people know that wc are in earnest , that Chartism is not dead , and never will die , while any man Is deprived of his _rights . To the work , then , Chartists , Deserve success . A Wobkihg Hah .
•The Whistler' And Mr O'Connor. Te Tbe E...
• THE WHISTLER' AND MR O'CONNOR . te TBE EDITOB OP THE _MOBTHBBK STAB . Deab Sta , —The letter of One who has Whistled at the Plough , ' which was copied into a recent number of the Star , is admirably written ; it demands the gratitude of every member of the Land Company . His visit to the county of Cork , for the sake of the working classes of Great Britain , was truly philanthropic ; bow much does he merit at our hands for bis disinterested Zeal . OM how I long to know such a noble spirit , travelling among « t the wild Irish , in the midst ot pestilence , all for our sake *; do , if lu your power , let us know who our more than generous benefactor is . No doubt some _cavillers will say , how is it that 'the Whistler'is so
disinterestedly interested about our affairs ? I will say , why not ? Have net Johnny Bright and Co ., —his emj _.

Dear Sir ; I have been trifling too long , I will at once come to the point . 'The Whistler ' s' assertion , that abundance of abusu was poured on Feargus O'Connor , Esq . M . P ., through the county , I question , and not only question , but deny it . The county ot Cork I know as well as Mr Whistler , ' whoever be is , and I am tati _* . fiod that I know tbe people thereof equally so ; and I now publicly challenge 'the Whistler' to name one individual of respectability ( my idea of respectability is , that _evi-ry honest man , be he ever so poor , deserves the title , ) who wiil , in tbe face if tbe Company , say one disreapectful word of Mr O'Connor , regarding him while he resided in Ireland . Well I know that one cannot be found . Some , it is true , condemn his adveeacy of Cbr . rtlsm , while It is his persevering advocacy of the principles of the People ' s Charter that makes him the idol ofthe English working mm .
It may bo well to observe , for the information of those who are not acquainted with the history of the county of Cork , that thore has not besu one family in that county for the last century ( I could safely add in all Ireland , ) wbich has suffered more forlrthnd tban Mr O _Canno _* - - . But if this were not tho caso , he has done cnoujh himself to merit the eternal gratitude of his fel low countrymen . If tho name of O'Connor had now _bern _mentioned in Irish history , but in tho R _^ thcormac affair , that , and that alone , would entitle him to the sincere lovo of Erin ' s honest sous . Will I recollect his agonised looks on beholding the mangled remains of thc more than distracted Widow Ryan ' s son , and others , who wero so cruelly butchered , through the avariciousness of Archdeacon Ryder—bis more than human exertions at the time , in quieting the people , whose excite _, ment was such as to know nearly no bounds ; the wild justice of revenge which Masoned in every _counten-nce
now presents it * . elf to my view , though yearb bave rolled hy since that _lamentable occurr . nc * . Well do I remem b r his fervent appeals to the masses , imploring of them to depend on the law ( badly ns it was administered , ) for redress . Many , very many were his sleepless nights then—arduously did ho struggle to obtain justice , _an-1 though he failed , it was well known that but for ' him , Doctor Baldwin , an * a few others , the country would hav _>) heen saturated with blood . Ifthe Whistle .- 'imagines that Ingratitude is a trait ofthe Irish character , he maligns our countrymen-he knows them not . Would that I had him in anv _potion of the county of Cork , nnd a few . thousands of Corkraen about us , soon , very soon , would they teach him not to bear false witness against his neighbour . ' Though I deem it Imperative on mo to bear my humble test ' . " ony to the worth of our noble chief , something tells me that the sterling portion % t this kingdom know him too well to be _influenced by thc calumnies .

The Approaching Visit Of Feargus O'Connor , Esq., Mp.. And Ernest Jonesesq.
THE APPROACHING VISIT OF FEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ ., MP .. AND ERNEST JONESESQ .
TO THE "WORKING MEN OF SCOTLAND _, Bretubbn _, —We are nbcut to receive a visit from two ofthe most talented and firm friends of the unrepresented masses ; gentlemen who have come boldly forth'from the ranks oi the proud aristocracy to associate v . ith working men . to defend the poor and the oppressed , and to aid the great cause of moral , social , and political improvement—these gentlemen are Feargug O'Connor , Esq ., M . P ., and Ernest Jones , Esq . Few , indeed , are the real friends ef the peor , . and hard , indeed , haB been the' fate of those who hare hitherto dared to advocate the cause of right against might , in all ases and in all climes .
Aristocracy , kings , priests , and all tbe wealth and physical power of the earth have heen almost invariably arrayed on the side of oppression and things as they are . True , there have appeared in the midst of tyranny and misrule a few noble spirits , who loved liberty and justice even better than all other earthly joys , bnt they have _se'dom been properly supported , oft ? n _Lsen basely deserted and ungratefully betrayed ; and they have either fallen beneath the axe of an . executioner , or dicii as exiles in foreign lands . In our own land , Muir , Palmer , Baird , and Hardy , and a , host besides , have suffered and perished in the cause ol equal justice . Who does not slug with a swell of patriotic
pride—• Scott wha ha ' e wl' Wallace bled . ' And remember with deep sympathy the crnel _neurit ct , the sufferings , and base betrayal of the Scottish * hero . We cannot read the story of the patriot's late without tears of genuine sympathy and-deep commiseration . We are surprised that Buch noble men were not better supported , their actions better appreciated , and that they were allowed to fall intothe hands of their murderers . We erect monumental urns , and marble slabs with long inscriptions , _settiu-r forth their many virtues , how nobly they struggled , how cruelly they were persecuted , how basely they were deserted , and how undauntedly they fell ! Thus we honour their names when the green grass waves over their mouldering remains , and prove to tyrants that the patriot ' s grave ,
eventhough _trophied not , Is holier hallowed ground than priests can mike the spot , ' We have now an opportunity of proving the sincerity of our sentiments in regard to these noble martyrs , by doing our duty towards men in every respect equal to them , who are ab , ut to visit the land of ' brown heath and _shagjy wood . ' Let us prove that we appreciate their untiring zeal , tbeir patriotism , their philanthrophv , by giving them that cordial welcome , worthy ofthe land of
Wallace and ef Muir : tbit true Scottish reception which they co well deserve . We have patriots now before na ; why should wa delay honouring thera until the cold clods of tha valley are heaped above their heads ? 'Honour thera now , cheer them on in that noble cause , which they have so truly adopted as their own , and prove to oar oppressors that we will not allow them to die neg . lected , deserted , and betrayed , _thatourposteritymay honour tko patriots which their fathers so basely deserted .
Fearcus O Connor has b : en prosecuted and imprisoned for our cause—calumniated snd denounced by false friends and open foes , —but even in the dungeon ' s gloom his noble soul was still undaunted , and ne came forth , _ai ? d still stands , firm nnd true , the powerful champion ef 'honest poverty . ' When tha people were basely calumniated , and their intentions wilfully misrepresented by a hireling servile press , _—» when tbere were few indeed to defend the poor , or promulgate the principles of political equality , he established the Mi-Mem Star , to be the paper ofthe peoplo , to do justice to the poorest man on the earth , and to expose tyranny and injustice wherever id dares to show its face . He has bsen the talented , _persevering advocate of tho principles of Democracy , aod he is tbe founder ofthe National Land Plan , to provide a refuge for the persecuted sons of toil , where they will be free from the lash of the white slave driver , and secure a fair day ' s wage for a fair day ' s work .
It is our duty to or » _anwe our associations , preoare onr petition sheets , and be ready with our cast .-Remember the cause is our t . wo _* -it is for us they are _strug _^ ling . _^ Feargus _O'Connor , Esq . is now a raem « ber of Parliament ; it is our duty to prove to our tyrannical taskmasters that he is the representative of our principles , and that the hopes , the affections , and the ener _/ y of the people are centred in him , and that they will _support him in the day of nsed » The men of Dundee are resolved to do tlieir duty ,
and the men of Aberdeen are making preparations for a grand demonstration . Several ' of the trades and other public bo lies have already agreed to take part in the procession to welcome our friends to Scotland , and the otln r trades are preparing to follow their noble example . The men of Glasgow will do their duty . Let the operatives at the several pnblio works make exertions to have a half-holiday , and let us meet our friends as patriots ought to be met—by thousands of grateful hearts , by thousands of wiUine miuds .
Surely none will _grudse a few hours to pay a tribute of respect and gratitude to men who have spent so many years in onr cause :
I remain , ; Brethren , firm and true , Pro Pairia

IRISH CONFEDERATION . _Barsblky . —The Irish D raocratic Confederates of this town assembled-at Mr George Utley ' _s large room ou Sunday , the 17 tU inatant . Mr Patrick Anderson was called to the chair . Mr Michael Segrave explained the principles and objects of the society , and concluded by stating tbat he considered every Irishman who _appreciated the noble _exertiuns of the brave patriots of 1798 should not hesitate to join the association . Mr John O'Learv addressed the meeting at ereat length on the base " conduct of the Manchester Exrminer , in sending the flogged soldier to his ( Mr O'Leary ' _s ) native county of Cork to obtain information of the private character of Mr O Connor for the basest of purooses ; but he , as a native of that county , could tell Johnny Bright , and his base tool , Somerville , that a more brave or noble patriot never existed in any country than the gentleman whom he so foully libelled . He therefore _proposed tho following resolution : —
Tbat this meeting ng-rd with the highest degree of indignation the base conduct of the proprietor of tho _Hanch'stcr Examiner , in sending a mean hireling to ferreti out evidence , with a vi _« w _tp destroy the charatcr of Ireland ' s noblest patriot . Wc are of opinion that a more disinterested champion of Labour ' s rights ntter stood on tils o . rth than Mr Feargus O'Connor . Messrs Hoey , llenvy . Keith , Deane , Fianigan , and others , _addressed the meeting , after which the resolution was put from tho chair and carried unanimously . It was announced that a portion of the history of Ireland would be read on next Sunday evening at tho appiiiited time of meeting . A vote of thanks was given by acclamation to tha chairman _, and thc meeting separated .
