*' i '''''^ i '''^ 1 THE WORKING MEN'S ASSOCIATION TO THE IRISH PEOPLE . IN REPLY TO AN ADDRESS ON THEIR -BEHALF , BY PERSONS STYL 1 KG THEMSELVES " THE PRECURSORS . ' Fellow-Couxtbtmex , —The object of the Radical Address to j-oo , signed on behalf of a hundred and tMrry-six Assodations , was to show you , not"Withstandiiig O ^ onnell ' s : assertions to the ' eontrary , that ^ iere wer e men among ns as cordially disposed to unite with jpn lo render you "justice , '' as there were . others resolved to niute to keep you in the reins of Whiggery for their men especial advantage , carelena of the beggary aad wretchedoess of the millions . And we also in . thus addressing yon are no less anjdons to tsscare jour co-operation towards
effecting one of the greatest objects men can perform orSearth to be acceptable to heaveu—that ofamproving _ those institutions which , according' to their parity or corrnatioo , render a nation £ nlight « ineil , prosperSns ftna happy , or ignorant , poorj and degraded . - . It would appear , however , from the persons who style themselves " the Precursors , " and who haw taken upon themselves to write for all Ireland , that whatever hopes . or sentiments animate the great bulk of your coantry , there are persons among you ¦ who do not desire onion witk men whose objects are "jnstice Jor : all classes . " Aud if we could briug our * elvestobelieTethat these persons represented the national mind of Ireland , and that that mind was so
steeped ui the opiate of Whiggery , as to lay its thoughts and feeling prostrate before one man ( thongh that man ' s talent were nstemscendaut as their gvntitade has been ^ unbonnded ) we should rather be disposed to despair for her fate than entertain bright hopes of herregeneration . -The document we refei to is an echo of the Whig press of England—what it fails to answer it does not scruple to pervert—it taunt * us with wanting candour , and accuses us of falsehood , and yet in itself is made up of tt « very essentials it condemns . It is , however , what it was intended to be , aJVhig apple o f discord , not only to prevent union between the English and Irish . Radical * , but , if possible , to
dmde those already united . It begins b y upbraiding us for not having denounced certain individuals for their expressions of violence . In reply to which we beg to inform you that our great object has been to honestry pursue principles rather than to denounce men ; we have left abnse to those who are better masters of the art . And even were we so disposed , -ffe could not except that great reprover of his -age * Mr . O'Connell himself , who when denouncing others for impropriety of language , talks of petitioning with a million and a half of men of fighting-age . " '' / _ From the origin of bur Association we have ever discotmtenanced wolence—we have ever declared that fhe moral power of the people -would be the
most effective weapon to combat the enemies of freedom , and similar opinions were expressed in the address * e aent too . Yet , for all these declarations , oar character na » been belied and our motives impugned , because individual * have been found to attend onr meednga who , like Mr . O'Connell , have appealed to the passions rather than to the intellect of men . No man has made stronger appeals to the lower feelings of an assembly than the Chairman of thePrecursors ) his "bloody andbrutal" sentimenti « , his pre-mmenffp abusive expretsums , and fighting threats , hawr been more londl y applauded by his select audiences than have similar expressions been by the poor weavers of the north . . . Nopereons can more sincerely regret than we do the improprietieg of language and threats of violence persons professing the sacred ni » me of Reformers
have recently indulged in ; they have only afforded delight , to the enemy , " and engendered doubts and Tecnminationii amony-frienda . We are of opinion that whatever Is gained fn England by force , by force muBf be sustained J but whatever springs from knowledge and justice will sustain itselfc Therefore it i&i that in our aspirations of freedom , we seek to build upThier sacred temple in peace—to raise up a social and poli ^ al edifice , founded on national enlightenment and justice—a temple in which all classes might freely worship , without tax , tribute , or reproach ^ -in which all might unite to devise wisely and execute justly , and where the energies of all should be directed to the solving that great political problem , yetunsolvedby any nation ;—how shall all tke resources of our country , mentally , morally , and j > bysically . be » ade V > produce the § reate * thappinew for auits members .-
We confess that our imaginations ricken at any prospect of civil discord , eren if oppressors only were to be the vicdms , and therefore earnpstly trust that the edifice we are seeking to rear may nev ' er be established upon a foundation of blood , to be cursed by widowed mothers and undermined b y the fatherless . But we must confess we greatly doubt the sincerity of those who , white deprecating violence , are

, neglect of duty . ; ft would appear thatthegenUemen of the Precursors pursuit in adopting tCb same unmimiy policy towards viras the Whig and Tory press , Finding they could not justly oppose our principles , nor auswer our arguments ^ h ' uding thatour public appeals m favour of temperance , knowledge , social improvement , and pulitical right , were bringing afouwd our staudara good : men of all classes ,. creeds , and opiiu ^ ns , they have endeavoured to enlist public opiuion against ui , by identilying us with the senti . menu and ojiinious of others . * The Qastlers , atephen ^ es , aud O'Connors" are charged as being " our leaders , " nolwiilwtandingue have repeatedly tliiclabtied leadership tj" every description . Now
what am be more apparent than die wilful perversion of truth , vyhioh repeatedly ideiiti | ies Mr . Oastler iu particular with . our proceedings : he has often publicly avowed himself as an " ultra-Tory , " aud to our kuowledgo has never attended one meeting iu favour of our Charter . And Mr . Stephens is more known for his opposition to the New Poor Law than for ui * udvocacy ot RadicnliMii : he hasridiculed our principle * , and publicly declared his want of coiitidence in us . liut Mill , ns fur as either of thone geutli'iuen has sympalliised wiihtlio infant factory children , and lor the poor and oppressed iu their rsrspectivft distiicts , they are entitled to pur honest pruise ; but as far as their violent language and misch . evous advicy to violence have been expressed , we Uepreciiie their conduct ; and as far ns Mr . O'Connor and others have deuated from a iiift course and
followed their example , we equally disapprove of theirs , because we thiuk with that , honest patriot Mr . Sharman Crawford , that Vtt 7 « . ' » . ( he application uf physicul force is held forth as the moving power for au . aining the reform of our institutions , the aggression ol the mural power , which can aloiie render physical force either justitiuble or effective , is destroyed . " - llut in thus disiipproving of the laugua ^ dMr . Feargus O'Connor has frequently indulged in , we ure no ways inclined to gratify the \ iuuictive spirit of Daniel O'Coiinell * by injuring "the usefulne > s of that gentleman , still les * to gratify the enemy by dividing the Radicals of North and South . "U ' e verily believe Air . O'Connor to be sincere in his de sire to promote the cause of Reform , aud it is because we tkink such language highly mischievous that we tuus honestly express oui opiuion .
W e are told by tun Precursors , "that no popular party can possibly be without leaders , that tbo » -e who do the business are necessari ^ - lender . < " Now , let us not be misunderstood—we understand by leadership , the implicit reliance and obedience of any body of uieu to one iuau ' s will—the foolish belief that he of necessity knows more , and can do better , under all circumstances , for the wlwile body , than could be done if they deliberated and acted according to the knowledge and judgment of the whole . Now the experience oi . the past has taught us , that whenever a person is thus elevated as a leader , he becomes the principal , Hud , generall y , the vulnerable object for attack . 11 lie can be influenced , througk Iris vanity or his ' avarice , the Llind reliance of bis
followers renders them the secure victims of the enemy . Do you for a moment suppose , that if the vast number of intelligent minds , which do honour to your country , had been free from the domination of leadershi p , and for the last four years had been united to devise the best means ofpolitically & socially benefitciug your country , that you would have been led into the quagmire of Whiggery-for fear of the bugaboo of Toryism ?—that vou would be loyally shouting your gratitude , because Mr . O'Connell has som « insecure portion of patronage , and is consequently enabled to drag along with , him a train oi expeciauts , who hail him as the idol of to-day , but would" as readily bow before other idols tomorrow ? ..... , ¦ ' -
We are accused of " wanting candour" for condemning equally the two factions of } Vhig arid Tonr , « nd that " our injustice to ihe Whigs demon-» trates our want of sympathy to Ireland ^ ' We must , however , again confess that the long catalogue of Whig perfections which the Precursors doubtlessl y prepared to move our . sympathy , has not effected its purpose . .. We tliink , however , their superior * ' caud / ur" should havft caused them to have added GnthoHc Emancipation to the list , which the Tories are said to have given to Ireland ; but , as we think of the VVkigs on the qnestion of the Reform Bill and Negro Slavery , they yielded to public opinion what in safety and in justice they could no
longer withhold . But the Whigs in yielding completely marred the benefits of the one , and made us pay a very conwderable price for the other . Among all the heinous sinsof Toryism , there isnot one butits tt ^ lrig parallel might easily be found , and we conscientiously believe that there are " no acts of atrocities which the Tories have inflicted on England or Ireland , that can match those deeds which the perfidious Whigs have inflicted on our Canadian brethren ; and shame to Mr . O'Conuell , after his professions of sympadiy , after his public promises and declaration ' s , that he would use his power and influence to prevent the sacrifice of their constitutional rights *—he acquiesced by his absence in the most despotic act
that ever disgraced an English House of Commons in the blackest days of Toryism ; and which act " , and all the horrible consequences that have followed , might have ¦ : been prevented if he and his other Whig admirers had beea true to justice . Talk of what the Tories did in America . ' match their deeds if you can with what the Whigs have done in Canada ! They have not scrupled to destroy every vestige of their constitutional rights—their selfish and arrogant ^ myrmidons were the first to provoke Canadian resistance to their unparalleled despotism ;
they thea imprisoned their legislators , and proscribed and bunted down the best men of the country ; they have brutally encouraged ignorant savages to glut their thirst for blood : ; they have destroyed the freedom of the press , suspended the Habeas Corpus Act , proclaimed martial law , burnt their churches , sacked their villages , ' -laid .- -the country in ashes at the fiat of one man , and confiscation and plunder have been the warwhoop of their brutal soldiers . Gracious Creator of human beings ! talk of the crimes of Toryism ] match Whiggery with Nicholas instead .
Ab to the Coercion Act , which . Mr . O'Connell denounces as the standing memento of the Grey and Brougham ( and he snould have added Melbourne ) administration—we tMnk that next to that despotic measure he ought not to forget the barbarons and arbitrary powers of the one that was substitnted for it , by his men approval ^ in 1835 , and which , when Sharman Crawford moved for its repeal , Mr . O'Connell pronounced to be -a- " wry . ' necessary law" We hope that the Irish people will make an analysis of these two Acts lor Air . O'Connell ' s especial perusal .
We must here , however ,, make an observation on the absurd notion of ^ grantude inculcated by Mr , O'Connell and his disciples . ' It is assumed that because a set of men , called Whigs or Tories , some fifty years or a century ago , performed a good action or a dishonourable deed , that we , forsooth , and our children , most always be grateful to theparty of the one , and cherish eternal enmity against the partyof the ^ other—though not even a relative qf the persons irh ' o did either- of the acts compose the present faction . This kind of "gratitude" may afford Mr . O'Connell aa excuse for his present policy , but it is not of that description our " conimon sense " inculcates .
We think that no course or policy that could have been adopted , could have done more mischief to the cause of Radicalism , than has the absurd folly of the pulling down and the setting up of parties and factions . We have long since given up this gamei and itshall be our policy lor the future , to :: prevent any faction from possessing political ascendancy in this country , aje , even a Radical faction itself , for the principle of Radicalism is opposed to all faction . And in thus expressing our resolve , we think ( howeyer contemptible we may appear ^ we have the power ta prevent the supremacy of either JVhig or
Tory faction . Nor do we want any "leader , " or party individual , to assist us to effect this object . We believe that there are ; good men among iWhigsy Tories , and Radicals , who are honestly disposed to reader justice to the million ? , and whoever of these good men will assist us to obtain that full iiieasure of justice . -. -the , " ; Peopi . e ' b Charter , " snail hare our honest support , without reference to the party they maybelong . : . \ ]'}¦ Sincerely hoping that you will give up your devoted attachment to party men and measures of every descriptidn-r-that the good and the wise of aU elas ^ g among you will be united equally agmnsjt Whifr « r Tory domination—and that yoil will urt 6 your representatives- to breat Uirough the trammels " ' - ¦ ¦ .

Qxen' from Scotland , only SO being on ^ the jnarket . This declension in the receipt of stock by steamers from Scotland is viewed ' with much regret , as the Beasfci from that quarter generally prove heacy weighers , cqhseqntfntly prbtitable to tucise' who purchase them . Tie real cuush of such complained-of deficiency of Scotch cattle appears to be th * - ' great losses which moat , it riot the whole of tue shippers have sustuined during some luo ' utuii' piist .. in transiniliina them hither—it h ^ vjiig often proved thut . higher pficeH could have been procured for . them ui Scotland than the MctropolitMi market .

TAKING IT epOttY . t ' % $ * ^ W ury Journal of DeWiO ' tHi - appears the following paragraph : — ; : ' : ' « Dab : ino EpBBEiiY ;— 6 a Friaay . Nov ; 30 , one of , the barns on the ^ remjges . W Mr . John Jeffery , vrho rentsafarni at Ansty , bntheroadiroro Salisbury to Shaftesbury—the barns in question being conspicuously situatea on a hijl Isetween Ansty and Swallowclift , about four hundred . yards .. from ' the turnpike-road—was broken iritq by a daring gang of thieves , who put up the winnowjng apparatus ahd winnowed about seven sacks of wheat , which they carried across the fields to a conveyance on the turnpike-road . By . the scattering of the A » heat and the prints of their shoes , it is evident that thev had tra ^
yelled towards Wilton ; but after pursuing the track to : " . 8 ome distance , air- apuearinces gradually ^ ^ disapr peart-d . One of the thieves evidently turued ov « r the Downs towards Broad Chalke , and the others had doubtless gone ahout to the left , ; t < v avoid suspicion . When it was too late , Information was received of a covered cart "having passed thrpugh Forant-gate about six o ' clock . The wheat was not the only thing stolen ; the villains killed two line wether lambs belonging to Mr . Jeffery , which were in a fold near the barns . They took all the prinbipal : parts , and left the offal . The most expert butcher , could not have skinned and cut them-up in , a neater manner . There musl ; have been a large gang , not less , it is supuosed , than ten . They placed sentries at what they considered-proper place ' s arid distance ? . These were aesn , but not suspected at the time . " , r
This is going about the business in a cool system * atic way with a vengeiince ; but it ja only the natural result of the present artificial state of things . In those agricultural districts ^ the labourer !! must take whatever wages the farmers choose to give them ; they have no choice , being entirely at the mercy of their employers , \ yhen aii employer raises tho wageaof his labourers , hejustly receives credit for liberality ; for as the labourer must take whatever is offered , the' employer who makes ail advance is unquestionabl y liberal . In the Banie number of The Salisbury Jo ^ f « rf / , we find the following paragraph : —
M A Liberal Master . —A writer in The Hampshire Chronicle , who signs himself a 'Farmer , ' says : —In many pans of Wiltshire , arid I believe ^ stiuie parts of Berkshire , only 8 s . a week is still paid tq farmers' labourers . Thb is disgraceful to both landlord and tenant whilst provisions are deary But there is at least one instance of highly houourable and liberal . conduct ^ h the part of an extensive landholder m these co ) inti ( rs- ^ the Barl of Radnor . On bis estates 10 * . istlie minimum of wagespaid ; and if agnuultiiral produce will not at all times allbw of its being paid solely by hw tenants , the landlord makes it good . Moreanan this , in every parish where he has land , a confidtmtijilparty ^ it empowered to meet
exiraoramary cases at the expense of his Lordship . £ > uch conduct cannot be " too generally imitated—it will meet its rewar d in a . grateful , industrious , aiid respectable tenantry . " , ; ¦ We quote the above to'show that the labourers are entirely at the mercy of their employers . The t-ool wayin which the thieves took possession of the harn , and winnovredand removed the corn of Mr . Jeffery , is the natural result 6 f the inadequacy of the wages 6 f the laborers to obtain fox them the means of Subsistence at the present high prices of corn . The labourers have noth ? ng to do with mating the laws , ; the laws are made by the lamTlOTds ; but they have something tb dp with : obevinir the laws , and th ^ yiwill consider their abiHrv t ^ hp
subsisted by their lahpur as the condition on which they are to give their obedience / It is dangerous to drive men to extremities . The landowners may rest assured that they may force" up their price of corn by the monopoly , bur that when ; the price exceeds the measure of the ability of the people to pay , the corn will be taken without payment . There is no reasoning with hunger . And there is this mischief in driving people to Violate the fe \ y , that the habit remajns when the necessity ceases . —Morning Chronicle . V p
