THE GRAHAM " SETTLEMENTS . _- Ix our report ofthe Parliamentaiy proceedings it will be seen that on Tuesday night Sir James Graham , the Secretary- ' of State for the "Home" Department , moved'forleave to bring In a Bill to " alter and amend" the whole " existirig . law . 6 f settlement . ¦ _-. In doing so , he detailed at considerable - length the " _'altei-ations" and - '" amendments" lie proposed to malic-: ' _*" _altei * at'ons '' of a . sweeping nature ] . and "• amendments" of tremendous importand effect . Of _ccjurse on such an occasion all he Could do was to iippart a general notion of his proposed _lheaaure as to its leading principles , ! _leaT ! diig ' deL _* iils ,, for aftereOnsider a . tion ; but he cmnieiated enough to enable " _srhft Unnsfi" and "the /> niinf . rv ' to uhdorstind _ilio
nature ot tlie ore . t . rkV ( 5 Lijiion hi parochial matters tliat he is seeking to . effeet ; and it will be . fdrilie former to instruct the latter whether that nvoliitioii bo ! at all desirable-or necessaiy , or _lilcely - to : be submitted to . With great seeming ' candour has Sir James thrown Ms measure on "'the' consideration ; of th ' p country / ' aiid espressed an anxious desire-that its _] merits may be fully and carefully examnied . In eoheliuVirig bis remarks , oh tbe introduction of his Bil he observed : — - ; " - ' _'"' . '"
[ wish it to he understood that I have , no intention of j .. -. _ssisig this measure to a second reading Ml there is lime to ¦ _olleet the opinions of persons best informed upon these svi y . i t , and l . commtt the plan . to that . species os es aminatiox v . iih entire , coiitiilence ' as to the _incrits of the _mivsui'C .

as he may , the real meaning of tlie measure is ' war to the foiife" against the ' last remaining and very dearest and most cherished privilege ofthe poor man , the privilege of at least having " something to love . " P _athekland , to the soldier or the national plunderer , may carry Avith if a more ' extensive meaning than parochial residence .: but to the ¦ poor man , whose ¦ existing condition and future hope Is bounded by the landmarks of that parish ofwhich he was born an iiihieritor , fatherland convcys . a more / limited , but not less enthusiastic idea . " Home , sweet home ; " '' tlie land of my birth ; " " thehome of my fathers ; »' ' "the land where my forefathers dwelt ; " the companions
of my youth ; " " the associates of manhood , _* ' and " the cronies of old age ; " one and all cari * y feelings of nationality , however circumscribed by the narrow boundaries of parish . . The humble spire of tho . unostentatious parish church' ; the fn . ee of the old _overseer , the parish' beadle , and the * parish officers , were once sights that the humbler classes loyed to look upon , because in them . they , _recognised . _thesimplicity of religion , the protection-of / law ,- and 'the * right to live . Indeed so stoutly have those cherished bulr wa ' rks resisted all the attack _^ ' of the ' _dainnable New Poor Law Acts , * tliat our ; present Home Secretary sees the necessity of levelling them altogether , before he can hope to carry that incisure into full effect .
Wehave now to learn whether ihe Riohmoxbs , the BucKiNGnAMs , the Bankes ' s , and Ydv . ve . E . wiiASl ) _, so loudln their demand for 7 ' tlie rights of labour , " Will allow the . ' last "stake" lo be . drawn from "the poor man ' s hedge . " The very object ofthe Poor Law ¦ Amendment Act was to save the estates of the landlords / from the pressure ; of ; " pauperism , " by the clearance ofthe rightful- proprietors - , * arid its effect has-been to keep- society in ' a state- " of ' perpetual social revolution , ready at any ' riibiucut io . . take advantage of a . favourable opportunity to take vengeance upon , their oupressors . Tlie ' -manufacturers wero as
ready to receive as the la ' inUonls were to / disinherit tlie " surplus" agricultural stock , ; and were it not for _tho-ceriainty thatthe keen eye' of the capitalist will see through the ultimate effect . of obtaining settlement by a ' time residence , and be" . thereby led to , the , anticipation of . haying one day .: to-. support their own victim , -itc _Iiave little ' dbnbt that G . _'i _.-.-ham _' s eodieii to Gnnii's' " legacy ' to "labourers" ' would be , received as- a . boon ! . Independently of _thq denationalizing- cftect that the ' . substitution ; of Union departments for- parochial boundaries must have upon the national character , we see / in thc /
measurc the complete frustration ,. of the _allotment plan , . thosmall farm system , and even the most partial return to agricultural pursuits ? . We seethe breaking -up / of ' the . old . family compact . / _-, We see the impossibility ; of .- , realising that _Jxjtter understanding between . peer and peasant recommended by-Baron Ai _/ riEnsoM , aiid enforced by _^ Hr / DTsiikEU , as a means ! of harmonising class with class , and of destroying-the present suspicions reciprocally-entertained by each . ¦• What a mockery then "; that - 'the poo ' r _caii ' only ' hope for" sueh protcctioiiand , defence . . a * " ..-that wliich arises froni the jcaiousics of thoseupon whom they may be henceforth quartered for existence !
/ The anomalous increase ! of . . manufactures in its . day led to the , easy sur render of the , poor _rman ' s rights ; and no doubt the present prospect of " impi * ove hicnt" has led . to ah attack upon / liis remainiiig privileges . ! At the present moment , there are in Lancashire alone _morb than one . hundred . new cotton mills in process . of erection , _^ all . o f immense magnitude ; and , doubtless , a portion of Graham's Settlement Bill is intended to facilitate the required iniportatiori of : agricultural slaves , ' to 1 work them .
The great object of manufacturers in the present day is in every possible ease to substitute machinery for manual labour ; and if overgrowing fortunes already made are not - to be sacrificed , they can only be preserved by equalizing the facilities of production to those possessed by the new mills worked by improved machinery . What then , we ask , is to . become either of the present operatives or the " surplus , " by which their ranks are to be increased ? The policy of the Minister has cver / beeri to divert attention from . things substantial * to those , which . ire
but shadowed forth m his measures , but " -are , nevertheless , sme to be one day realised .- /¦ ' Hence he reconciled ; the landed interest to liis tariff in 1841 , by the assurance that there was no competing supply of livestock in the markets" _^ of the world to damage-their interests . .
