Oa the acalrrity are a fe-w bniidtegs , a » a many on the top , it Siere leaving a flit surface , -which is laid ont for streets to a great extent . On the Tei ^ e of the lake , on less , -what may be termed table knd , stands a nost ligst-bouse , snd on Hie town tfde Milwalkey hoaEe , an betel , kept by Monsieur Juno , or Jnnot , a rich Frenchman ; It is a large showy building , aud casts all others near it into the shade . 3 The soil « n txda eleTation is light , more garelly thai * sandy , and , of course , -rery opt to be burnt ap in dry -weather- ; therefore it is best adapted for building purposes . Being arnated more distant from themarshes , and also more exposed to the refreshing fer « ze from lake SEebigan , it is mate liktly to ei ^ ure the health of the residents .
Mons . Junot , the above-named landlord , { -who married hia squaw , ) was one of the Srst settlers of the place . He-waa offered five yejs Dossession of the steamer " Mflwalkey , " ^ respsctiBg which there -were great disputes among the shareholders , ) if he would take her over the bar , at the mouth of tae river ; -which he effected , and "which -web considered a very great feat She now lays in the river , close to the town ; and being one of a confederated nnmber , she is receiving her share of the profits , after deducting the € xpences of those in combination to ietp -op the fares , and plying between Sufialo and Chicago . * Tbis combination is very injurious to Emigrants , who come in vast numbers to this part . The vessels sail every two ^ ays , and bave often from 300 to 506 settlers on
board , who land at all the intermediate ports between BoSalo and Chicago ; as Dunkirk , Cleveland , Fort Maldon , Detroit , but principally at Milwalkey , Racine , Sonthport , and Chicago , from wizens they spread themselves to "whither their friends eej have gone before them , or in search of a home . Tfaosa who baTe good management , and a little capital t « enable them te purchase an allotment of land , may do well ; but those who lack the means , and only depend npon finding employment under otters , generally find tbesnsslves disappointed in consequence of the great iifiux of Emigrants and deficiency of capital , in combination with the TBry low price at which produce is sold . Females may succeed much better than the other sex ; and 1 bave seen none without situations who were willing , to engage as servants .
Kcai Mil-walks ? I saw what was m * t inaptly termed a bee palace . It was eight feet high , ekht feet long , End fesr-and-a-half feet broad . It was verg ingsnionsly constructed , asd the bees were busy at work . Befag on travel in England , a few years age , from KiBTS-easUe to Boroughhridge , I met with a young man , a native tf the latter place , who gave me a very intrrtsting account cf M 11 . walh . ht , at which place L 6 bad resided in the capacity of a shopman , and said he had come to England on a visit to his lelatiTes . He inf-jrmed me of the extreme dissipation of the Indiana , whom the Whites had corrupted in every possible way , and also of their taking every advantage of che ignorant simple natives , by giving them valnel € B 3 trinkets in exchange for the most costly fnrs ; honesty tnd religion being totally disregarded by the Whites ; bnt every « heae resertad to , to possess themselves of the produce of the Indians' three or four months' hunting .
He likewise informed me that a . person wfco had pnrcbased the land upon which Hilwalkey is now built , realized an immense fortune by selling it in building lo : s at an exorbitant price . He also told me that here a quantity of sugar was produced from the maple tree ; and that land of an excellent qualitf , part woed and pirt prairie , could be easily pbtzited at one dollar and a quarter per acre . Being now npon the spot , I made enquiry for this same person , and wsdgriaved to learn that when I saw him in England be had decamped with considerable property belonging to bis employer . Of course be never returned , as he stated was his intention .
In addition , the same person informed me that the catting of a csnsl was in operation from MUwsikey to Sock xiver , a distance of fifty or sixty mile ? , and that when completed the vessels could be navigated from Hew Tork by that course , down the Bock River and Mississippi to Uew Orleans and the Gulph of Florida . Tills description gav 6 me a very favourable opinion of the locality . His information I found to be correct , as Ksp ^ cia the country , the treatment of ths Indians , the manufacture of sugar , it ; and before I take my leave
of &u interestiBg territory , I feel it necessary to give the following information , extracted from a letter -smitten to a friend in Londonirom Fort Atkinson , which will Is some measure supply the gap left consequent npon my before mentioned inability to visit thst place , and will contrast with the information received from the gentlemen at New Beblis , given aboTi ? . I deem it ritht to observe that the writer of the f ollffwing , resides on the spot he describes : —> " I am firmly convinced that Wisconsin will soon be a vreat country lor manufactures .
" At present money is exceedisgly Bcarce ; but this need not ba wondered at , as all who come here wish to possess as much land as their means will reach , after buying which , and paring down for it { which is the uniform rule in £ 31 surveyed districts ) farming implements are to purchase , stock to buy , bouse and efficts to build , which drains the limited means that new reitlers are generally possessed of , and leaves them ' j *» or indeed ; " whSe markets being so bad , the crops , for a few years , do not raise them above their poverty . ** At W-ferf ewn , twenty eiHss from Bock River , running tfcrcnga a bed of Isms-tone , in three miles there is e , fell thirty three fcet- On this spot an incalcn ' - sble amonDt of machinery could be driven . At Whtte-¦ fl rATEB , seven milss frsrn ns . there are three or four ¦ excclir : nt mill sit ? s ; and on CoFconery Creek there are t ? o good mill sites . From the bottom of those falls a steam bost plyed during all last summer to St . Louis .
•* ThiB is a fine conntry for sheep . One of my neieb . - bcurs has already got 100 of that valuable animal . The quality of the land is excellent TbB Miiwalkey and Rock river canal , which is now in progress , is only seven miles from us . " Frem Madison , the capital of the territory , we are thirty miles . " This is a splendid o&untry , and where I hope you will cava the pleasure of a daja hunting with me , ere many years . " The letter from which the above is extracted bears date 7 th December , 1841 . The canal referred to is now like many other valuaya public works , lybig dormant for lack of the necessary funds .
My intention , when at Chicago , wes to travel west-• srard stfll farther . Sly fccalti , liowever , rendered it impossible to bear the hrat , wMch was excessive . I was glad to meet persons of Irtelligenee and experience to aid me in my enquiries , during which I was repeatedly informed of the great danger of life and property , in the territory of Misonri ; and bad from this become strongly impressed with a belief that safety to either -s-as at least a matter of great doubt , in consequence of the territory being overrnn with horse-tnie ^ rs , smashers , ( coiners ) , gamblera , rogues and vagabonds of every description . In opposition to these statements , I give the evidence of Mr . Manning , Bidweli Miils , o ! Brighton To'srSship , ( where he holds considerablelsnds , ) Washington Gonnty . State of Misouri , between forty end forty-one north latitude , and forty-five miles west of Missisaipi , lying between the D ' ib Moines and Skenk Tiveis .
This gentleman states that the inhabitants of his terriroTy are intelSgent , temperate , and geEtTally religions That fuw outrages are committed , and that life asd property are perfectly safe . The land in general isablack loam , from two to three feet deep , and dry . The surface tiiula'ing , or rolling . No marshes in his neighbourhood . The principal productions are wheat , barley rye , oats , Indim com , hemp , flax , and tobacco . The sfcttlen . ent being now , frnit trees have rot got matured ; bri no d » nbt exists that fruits in great variety wiil be rro-iueed in abundance . Plums , blackberries , and various wild fruits are very plentiful ; also hickory hazel , sp-d other rmts . Springs are few . By digging from tvrelve to tweniy-Sve feet , the purest , coldeBt , and test water is plentifully produced . On Skonk river , in every five miles , there is sufficient fall fcr asy description of machinery .
Bich silver ere has been discovered in the immediate neighbourhood ; indeed , in Brighton township , which , according fr » tfce general rnle , is six miles square , silver ore is fi-und at a depth from five to ten feet from the Eur&ce . Sir . Mills carried a small quantity with him . which he intended to bave analyzed in Ohio before bis return . Coal in abundance is found on the surface of the banks , the htcs of wfrch take a sloping direction into tfee earfh . The seams average about four feet in thickness . The dfcBse woods srs jisnerally situated on the borders of tfc ' e streams . Hie t iaber is very large , and consists principally oi a vast varitty of Vba ouk species , asb , reeca , hickory , chesnut , walnut , Ei ^ d butternut ; maple is not plentiful .

The ship was crowded ¦ w ith a cheerful company , with whom I miagleS for the purpose of elicifcRi ? ia ' ornn ' . ion . i The shore was flat « nd uninteresting , being covered with Tvcod of a . middling sizi . Mr . Trufeuiaa Beaumotit Tripp , of Rock Island , Stats of liiinoiS ; was on board , and informed me tbat he bad 160 acres in his possession , sixteen of which were cleared . It was situat ^ on the MiEsissipi , the banks of which are , at that place , ' from thirty to fifty feet high . A mile distant from the river the land rises thirty feet additional , and here commences thepia : rie which stretebes ont to a distance of ten miles by six or seven . It is dry , and well stocked with timber , and
ias also some fine springs . Wild geese are plentiful ; also turkeys , prairie hens , quails , wild ducks , partridges , wild swans , pelicans , sand-hill cranes , eag ' es , and turkey buzz % rds , a bird ra shape and si&s somewhat similar to a Wild turkey . All here are opposed to the destruction of the turkey-bnazir . l , because they devour carrion an'i prt-vtat disorders that might be produced by the tfflavia if Ivf t uneaten or unburied . There are also herons , jajs , rooks , likewise rabbits , bares , prairie squirrels , ( spotted like fawns , ) goffers , skunks , ibadftrs . racooons . small pigs , prairie wolvep , deer , and buffalos . Fish also abounds in great variety ; among which are eels , pike , suckers , and trout , which are generally u . ken with nets and fixed lines . JFruit is also -very plentiful , such as apples , ipears , cherries , piuma , strawberries , quinces , grapes , gooseberri-...-, entrants , and mandrakes . I had some of thelatttr x-. i an inn between Troy and Mil-WA 1 K . ET , the fret I had eeen , aud the richest fruit I bad ever tasted .
The ' r vegetaMts consist of tomatos , sweet potatoes , turnips , carrots , snJ cabbages . They bave potatoes of every description and of the be * t quality ; also wild hops in abundance . To procure water tbey iiave to dig to the depth of thirty or forty feet , or otLeiwiss fetch it from the river . Thi 3 gentleman has let bis farm in the West , and is going to reside npon an estate ho possesses in the State of New York- He is to have one-fourth of the whole prouueein lieu of rent .
About thirty steam-boats pass this place dail ? upon the Mississippi , going and returiiir-g between NEW Oltxeass , St . Louis , an < J Galeka , the capital of tbe mining dL-trict , the Jattcr being sixty-five miles , and the former thirty miles Jrc-ru tiiis gentleman's estate . Hx . T . B T . informed mo that beifaad dispoeed of seven swarms of bees , before the regular swarming time for twenty-one dcllarB , and now there are nineteen sw . arrus produced from the seven . Id his neighbourhood bees thrive well ; there are raacy bee-houaes , and honey is very plentifn-. Tha jdississippl , at this plsce . is tfcree-qnnrteis of a mile broad , and is crossed by band , horse , and stsrampower . The climate is exceedingly temptrate ; tlie cattle are only fed within dcors for the space of ehrht or ten we ks in -winter . The principal market for whfcat is at SavankaII ; considerabie qnantities beiiag alBo sent up to Galena , ard Prairie Du Cuien to supply the mines . Nothing ix oont to Ntw Oii-LSars , with the exception of a few vegetables . The up-waftl marketB answer much better .
This gentleman also told me that in lue district there were both borse-stealfirs , snd forgers , or " Emasbers . '' Bat that Missouri was the most isfested wit ^ i them . He also informed me that vr . tv tracts of lanii of the first quslity and in good situations may be ha-i in the territory of Iowa , that mi & ht Lj " bquattcd" upon u : itil surveyed by tbe government a ^ cuta , —a thing which may not happen for several jears . But unless tbe squatter' be prepared to pay ¦ wilhin a givt a time after the survey , the lanrl will be put up for ealo , and he may thus lose all his labour and txpence in making improvements . Nothing -whaWver can
invalidate the rght of the fquatter to retain possession of the land , provided he pays the government pries when surveyed , not even the State , should it be required for a centre , a capital , or a ceunty site . Whan a survey is made , a certain extent of land is alwaja allowed fur the erection of a Court of Justice , anil iu ^ wise to defray the expense of such erection . Should tbe portion " squatted" upon turn out , on the survey , to by in the sixteenth strctien of the township , ( a portion uniformly appropriated to tha use and support of pcLioqIs ) aud if tie land has beeu paM for , aiid tbe Republic tvqv . iie it for public purposcB , the holder can demand fu 1 value and compenention .
Where mineral * are discovered before sales r . rr effected , the land is retained by tbe governinujit , v ; r , i sold only on condition that wfcen worked , a pivtn portion of tie wriniuce of the mine 3 thall be p-id into the Suites' escht quer . After tbe first tale if land , should the " tqz -.. i ^ r , " for w-jit tif m ^ ans , ba compexled to let it pass Jr .-ni h : a without pnrcfct :- <>—which frequentiy happens— : b . n it is often sold at 1 ^ dollars per acre , —tha same as iUat without buildings or improvement ; and thus the fun " squatter "' loses the whole But if it be kn-iwn to his ueigbbonra that he , the " squatter , " is short of money , and any of them go and bid at tbe laud tfficu KEd lake it out of his bands , his life would not i . L . worth s creek ' s purchase : tbe neighbourhood would
be arcascd by tbe advantage taken , and tbe aggre : * r would spteoily be " Ijnebed ;* ' that is hanged to a trt 9 . or otherwise put to death . This is by no means uncommon , especial );/ en the West of the Mississippi , -where culprits are even sometimes taken out of the banes oi the authorities and " lynehed" by common assent . In many cases the conservators of the public peace are Baved the tronble of assenting or dissenting . When tbe population increases this will be stayed . It frequently . t » pp ? ns , however , that strarigerg , ig . norant of sccb circumstances , purchase such plots with impunity . This occurred with Mr . Bower , formerly of Netherthong , near Hnrttlersfleltl . whom I met , at Chicago , and also at Milwalkey last evening , he
having been that day along -with his son to the land-offlco of the latter place , and there paid for an eighty acres lot , adjoiniBg the farm and residence of my late neighbour , Mr . J . Kaye , v , bo is living in a remote place , without having any human be : nc nearL : m . His farm is four teen miles north-trest of Racinc . A poor fellow vrbo htiu the plot bought by Mr . Bower being unable to pay for it , treut to the land agent , and begged him to allow two months , in which time be would pay tbe money . The sgeat did not object to tie proposal , except on tbe ground of tbe law binding them , as public servants , to accept the first money offered . Bvwer going tbe ntxt day , the unfortunate man lost his labur and improvements , which in equity Bower onght to pay to him .
"When at East Trot , I thought of my friend and neighbour , Mr . Wilson , shoemaker , who might do well at that place , they being much in want of ene of his craft there . A young man , a tailor , named Mansfield , from London , is doing exceeding wtll . A flour mill is about to be erected at this place , and a saw mill is already in operation . At present corn has to be conveyed twenty miles to grind . One half of the timber taken to saw is returned , und the other half is retained for the sawing . Wood is not over plentiful , and persons make no scruple of going into the forest , and there , without asking any question , hew dowa what timber they may require . Indeed this can hardly be prevented , while the land remains unappropriated . At Troy , I saw sixteen sand-hill craneB flying In the same line cf order as I have seen Solon geeae in Scotland . These cranes weigh from twelve to sixteen pounds each , and are very fine eating .
After this digression , I must again return on board the Indiana steamer , which has made great progress vrhile 1 have been hastily and irregularly embodying my notes . The " Banker Hill , " a fine steamer , was in Miiwalkey Bjy , on her way to Chicago . I got on board for Bcf > alo , while Bhe was taking in firewood . It wouid be a great novelty in England to see the decka of the steamers literaDy covered with billets of split and rcund timber , four or five feet in length , and piled up to the height of eight or nine feet , and to sse
four or six men constantly employed in throwing down those large billets into an i open apace , fronting tbe furnaces , sometimes with their hands , and sometimes , where the distance ib greater , they have two pieces ot wwd -sitb roj > es fixed between , forming a Bort of handbarrow ; by this means they throw them- down with great facility , while two other men are engaged in crarnsii- s them into the fiie ; one or two men ate also emplojvd to snp ; r : j other fires with coaL The quantity cf fuel consumed is imnitnse , and astonished me and others , wBi-se attention I directed to the circumstance .
Wood ia supplied it every station in quantities not to be believiti by those -sv ^ o have not witnessed it Were not ihi- vessels constructed in a peculiar manner —having a second deck above with sleeping births , occupyicg nearly tLe whole length , with openings at the ends , and a -walk rourd for the passengers—the immense qnantity of billets would be most inconvenient , and indeed dangerous , from the falling down of the piles . Tlie dttka are very spacious , extending over the sides of the vessel , end have otherwiso a very different appearance to any ssen in England . The captain ' s station is above tbe second deck ; the helm is worked by chains uf great length , tbe steersman standing forward near the head of tbe vessel , bo that nothing may obstruct his view .
On this long voyage the steerage passengers can purchase no provisiens on board in any other way than by going to tbe same table which tbe cabin passengers have left , when they have to pay twenty-five cento per meaL Provisions being bo ivery cheap , this la a source of great profit At the foel ! stations provUionsmay be
procured . = As -we journeyed along , the shore of Wisconsin leemed quite flat . During a portion of our time , we stood opposite Grim Bay , but were not in sight of land . Before nightfall , we saw the opposite shore in tbe State of Michigan ; and in the night we passed the Manito Islands . At day-break we found ourselves approaching tbe Narrows . Some fears were expressed during the night that we should nave to land on the Manitos for a supply of firewcod . Tiris would have caused considerable delay . However , it was fortunately avoided . ¦ W £ d > esday , Stpt . 7 th . —At s&ven tbis morning we touched the pitr of Michillimackenac , or as it is now

Th ^ yiseldom take anything away with them , but return destitute to tbe forests there again to pursue their occupation of hunting and fishing . Many cf iLciu were encamped in their wigwams , Vhich consist of a few rough poles set 011 end , ami tied together

Numbers of these naiivea were to be seeu EtroMing along the b ^ ach , of diffarent ages and of vaiitd dress ; some inost fantastic , Boma plain , some smart , and adorned with jewels , an 1 others quite the reverse . Many W 6 ra loitering and others fishing ; , and some carrying away very fine fish of a large s ' ze . I wa 3 r- ^ rry that none of them could speak a language to \ . < a undeiituod , ; s wo bad to stay about rive hours taking in firewood . The store-keepers & ? k extraordinary high prices fer the Indian manufactures , and , during the absence of tlie aborigines , they always find a sufficient nnmber of- , travellers to take them at tbeir bieb charijea .
I visite . 1 tho fortress at this piece , which is maintained ia tolerible repair , in order to keep the nalivta in cheek . I i ! id not ascertain the number of troops stationed , but I U : \ nfe there is not more than 300 or 400 . Af ' ¦ . % was formerly kept in good repair , upon u high poiut of laurt . but it is now dismantled end in a stito of dilapidation . This is the most northerly point I have touched . Tho country appears bleak , and the shores lofty and prominent . Tae town is small , containing only five huudrcj or six hundred inhabitants . Tbe
hou-xs aru ia a dirty and ruined Btate . The foi-tivss is on au eniinc-nce cl .. se to ' the town , ami leading to which -there is a foot-way principally by sti-ps . This fortress is built of rough stone , and has a very imposing apvtiirance . A small space of the plnin in froni i .-i c ' t-ared , but within a few hundred ynrda tbe ground is covtrwd with brushwood , ; so tbat an enemy might approach very close without being perceived . The appeaninco of tbe soldiers was very slwvenly , and every means of defence was far inferior to what i 9 seen in our British garrisons .
After viewing tbis place * I visited more of the Indians , and was i :. uch struck at seeing a child of a pwjuliar 6 hapo , It heins exceedingly short and stout made . Aboard v . as hfiixed to its back , from the top of which a curious low extend- d which it could take hold of ; it was Wrll wrapped in flannel er blanket ; ita ftet were aiso covered , and it seemed te stand upoa a sort of projection . ' ¦ In some of the wiftvrarcis , there were blankets spread upon the ground on wbiGb the inmates sat . They possess no furniture , np cooking utensils ; aud ho \? they prepared th ir foi . d I coulil not conjecture . Tbe only kind of foo < l I saw a' / ionn tbi-m was fi .-h . Their costume was varied beyond d « -. ecr : p . icu ; some wore shoes of their own manufacture , whila others -were barefooted . Many bad a strange sort of head-dress , and were adorned with ecr-ringp . brooches , anr ! girdles , which varied in quality . In the Stato of Now York I bad observed
tuat many of the female Indiana wore around them a piece of broad blue cloth , two or t-wo and a-half yards tu length , having the coiourt > i list uj . on it as a Bort of ornament : it vfas not cub or shaped in any way whatever . Here I aleo saw the same , while others bad blankets wrapped around th » . m . The men seemed proud of wearing netted a&bbes , like those worn by eur mili ' ::: 7 efficirs ; yetsjme of them bad only old h&ndkorchit-fs , r . i ^ ged clu tb , or 11 nunUi-script sort of bandage tied around them . So : no wire what in . Scotland is ciiied a bed-gown—a kind of loose jacket reaching to the riiiddle , aud generally b ' jund round by the strings of an uprcn . Fiah abounds here in great variety .

About ten a ra . wo reached Fort Cfratiot , wbere , leaving the bke , we enter the rapids of St .

'ee quarters of a mile across , having a m : > ifr ? t < : current . I looked ou ' . o » the C « ni-. U side for the settlement and residence of tja r . ;; .: ! y cf ruy l : ind friend Captain Jones , who uaforturm -iy has been so long detai . ' . ed in London by barassii s . litigation . I felt sorry on account of having no person on h v . ul afqaainttd with tbe district , and , of course , I cou ' . d not obtain thej desired information . :
At the entrance to the R'plds the ciitrcnt is rather Btrong and the water bhu i < i-v , but very soon it becomes wider , deeper , and more pmc > tb .

Tbo wood on the Canada side- was the flncbt and the largest It was principally oak , beech , maple , hickory , elm , and other hard woods . That on the Micnii . an bide was Tamarack , with some pine and underwood . However , as we proceeded , it beceme more assimilated to that on the Canada side . Several steam saw mills were observable as -we passed along . The banks w ^ re pretty well cleared of timber , and there -were a gco'l many houses , gf-nerfliiy of thfl log but kind , Eome miserably small and Riep . n , aud others of a suprriur hind .

This destroys them by preventing the sap from rising . When dead , and consequently bearing no leaves , they allow the rays of tbe snn to spread on the ground beneath , and thus give vigour to vegetation . Bat stilt they ue tremendous eye-Bores , :
On leaving Lake St . Clair , we pots between two islands , and next approach a larger and more prominent one , covered with timber , and having a lighthouse upon it . The river , or rapids , being only three quarters of a mile in width , those islands are necessarily small . When we bad passed the last ; mentioned one , we immediately got a view of Detroit , at a very short distance . As wa approached the city , we found tbo wooden houses become more d ^ nae , and superior in appearance . Opposite Detboit , on the Canada side , there is a considerable village ,-with several stores , a large LoteJ , and other good houses .

THE NATIONAL BENEFIT SOCIETY . THE " DEHOCRATIC PRINCII'LE ' versus "DESPOTIC AUIHORITy . " |
TO THE CHARTIST PUBLIC . BROTHERS , — -Mr . Galpin » nd myself have joinetl issue under the abovo natoed principles , upon the question of the kind of authority to bojvested ir . tho chief officers of tbe proposed sotiisty for the amelioration of the-people jgeioerally . "' - ¦¦ ' ¦ }¦ - ' ¦ " } AI * . Gal pin urges , in his ; ' second paragraph , tlint the president should be invested w . tfi nsltHiited , arbitrary , and despotic authority ; a :. d in parugraph . sis , he says ^— | < - - [ "In order to preseive ent'ra the-rraity of his own mind , to select the persons thntare to bo associated with bim as a council , and to cLaago them as often as he found the body imperfect , tho number also to be at the
option of the president . " j : Those assertions are plaw . d s-. rijz ? iy bofove us indeed —justly plain and fairly hjdd—tb . ra enn ho no mistaking them ; and . iin acknowitid « ii : g Mr . G . ' 3 compliment towards myself , expressed in the letter I quote from , I musf say there ib mueh to give mjtpie . 'jsure , both in the spirit and matter of our sociaFmend ' s lotted ; but iC there is one thing that I am pleased with were than another , it ia tho bold manner in which he puis forth his views , the apparent alspnce of any attempt to mislead by milder terms than th ' <> su'oject warrants . I < au , therefore , the more eaBily com at bis op ' nio ^ s thut I deem unsafe or unsound , and cur readers wiil th-3 m . jre readily understand us . !
But Mr . G . in the third r . arnpraph , cov . ti-nds that there is no ' . hing contrary to tbe >< r . cj < jC . T . t ; -.: principle iu what he Iia 8 laid down , aQ ^ . Acl < ic , ] y ? : etLt . r it J e called despotic , democratic ; Co * by any other ia : u ? , the thing itself is not thereby altered . Now , I very readily atoit that names do not alter things , and that despotism would be despotism , though id were colled democratism ; and to simplify the caff i ye . T wwilJ be nay had our forefathers bo ordered it , and it must be remembered , that tbey aro our ruleij atill , ianiattersof words , and that we cannot now aher or revere *) tLs ' r terms , without ; greatly inconveniencing ourselves and the whole world , therefore wo ar-i Ijyund to use their words according to the rules of vul (? nr custom ,
vharc-Tore I submit to you that nouo of us would now think ef calling the system democratic , | which gives such powers to a single being , ahrt wbii : h fttr . G has propirly termed despotic . In fuYiher proof 1 th it it is entirely opposed to the Democratic principle ] I rofer you to tbe eijhth paragraph , woere the opini 6 ns of the members are limited to the influence of council or sucew- 'Jon , to the central president , but no voting r ,. j tako p \? c > . on a : y subject . The local branches of tko society are to be governed by dittos of the ceaLral | goYtfntnen * ; . Ths . w extracts from Mr . G . ' s propositions tvi . Jence iv . nut clearly that h ' s plan , inits details , is eppostd to what we generally URderstand by , and what ] the English dictionary teaches us , is tb ^^' 'meaning of the terra Dimocracy . " ' ^ j
Having , as I think , established | t ^ ils point , I now proceed to tbe question of its effect fand utility in such & society as has been proposed . On this point , M r . G .-by way of -prostration , has referred to the repeal movement io'It ' eland , and the Ghartiat movemtnt in England , nnd nr ^ es thn superior position of the former over the latter , which he attributes to tha oncentrative energy of Jdr . O'Counell ' s mind being easily distributed through every portion of ita proceedings . I must here first remind Mr . G . tbat in . tB 9 first part of this paragraph , ( the fourth , ) he has described this as . " . question affecting thB feelings and prejudices of the pcopjfj . Now he must be -wellv&warel how power . ia are appeals to $ e better passions to rpusa the poabessur * into action , and what a bond of union it forms . Tbei ? e
reflections induce the question , whether is it not Mr . O'Connell ' s appeals to thtse feelipgsj that products th& . effect set forth , rcther ihr . n tho iL 3 uer . ee of hia roiud . Again , 2 &r . G . does not sho-= v that Mr . O'Connell is prtsident and appoints ^ the Council , nor that such power docf , or would , gfve him any part of that influence . And in compailng this aeitation with tbe Chaitist , I must remind Mr . G . thti ^ Jboth bave passed through vaiiouR pbtvBes : their upland downs . The Reptal has occupied lUi ; people of Ireland aud O'Counell for yenr . f to tal £ abcuc aiid agitate . To-day tbe people were ready to taka it , to-nioiT « w it was put in abeyance , and 'his , t- ¦> , byjfbeqai--lln » tnergy of Mr . O'Conneils min'l .
