PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW . Backed by a panic-stricken majority the Whigs have succeeded in violating the constitution of the country , and in passing a law , which , in spirit , reduces Great Britain and Irelandto a more degraded position , as respects the right of free speech , than that from which Germany and Italy have just emancipated themselves . To « iinx the ; stjgma of crime to tne utterance of opinions is an act so monstrous , that when the panic has passed away , men of all classe ? , and of all parties , will wonder fist it should have been perpetrated . But , though what is called sedition ma } ' , in law , be ftkvy in future , and punishable as such ^ the common sense ef men will revolt ageinst both the description and the penalty , and any
prosecutions that may he instituted under the new kvr , will he likely to carry with them little of the wei g ht and power of that true arbiter of all questions—public opinion . The gallant minority , who resisted this atrocious measure at every stage of its progress in the House of Commons , were not wholly unsuccessful . " Small as they were in number , they compelled the Minister so far to give way as to make the most obnoxious part of the Bill , that which applied to " ; open and advised speaking / ' a temporary , instead of a permanent provision , was originally proposed . They also forced the adoption of various amendments in detail , which will , to some extent , protect the liberty ofthe subject , when the law comes to be enforced . One of the curiosities of Parliament
ary debating occurred in the discussion upon the second reading of the Bill in the House of Lords on Wednesday . Henry , Lord Brougham , * Uh that consistency and love of freedom for which he isjso highly distinguished , gave what he called " a talutary warning" to newspaper proprietors , editors , and reporters , that they must not entertain the fond notion that they lad , ia future , a right to print whatever was
sad in Parliament , for , although members plight make treasonable and seditious speeches Jn their places in Parliament , and be protected by his privilege from punishment—proprietors , edi tors , and reporters might be transported for record ing the fact , as though they had "indented" the treason or sedition ^ hemselves . If Smith O'Brien , for instance , were to come
« ver after Easter , and deliver another speech , like that he delivered last week , the public Press must either suppress the speech , | or print it with the penalty of transportation for Dot less than seven years in view , as the consequence of their exercising a hitherto undisputed right ! Henry , Lord Brougham is , however , not a Very eminent lawyer , however hot headed he fflay be as a partisan . It is part of his nature * ° be always aiming at " capping the climax . ' However far anybody may be prepared to go , tie eccentric Brougham will go further . "We tad , therefore , some doubts as to the validity of this dictum of the ex-Chancellor , which were confirmed fay the speech of Lord Campbell , * ho followed him , and who , though a "heavy , "
13 at all events a safer guide than his erratic countryman . He repudiated the idea that the Bill would punish editors , proprietors , or reporters , for giving speeches to the world which were spoken in Parliament , even though they were treasouable ; and added , be should be ashamed of himself if he brought forward or supported any measure having that object in "ew , This point , however , though apparently i ( j clearl y settled by Lord Campbell ' s speech , ? as , after all , left in a very doubtful state at ^ e dose ofthe debate . The Earl of St
Germans , at a latter stage of the discussion , rejjy ed the question , and urged that the rais-^ ef done by the mere speaking , was small i ° pared with what was done by the public * lon of these speeches . He had no wish to delude the speeches delivered in Parliament , 'it the case was very' different when speeches erg made 8 t t j ^ Uat jPKAii Convention , he

thought that the editors arid proprietors [ of newspapers should be liable to be punished for the publication of inflammatory speeches delivered at such places as these . To this new view Lord Campbell replied , " That with regard to the publication of seditious speeches , it entirely depended upon the spirit in which they were published . If it was meant to hold them up to execration , the intention would , under the act be innocent , but if the y were published for the purpose of giving effect to these seditious sentiments , then the acfc was punishable , and his lordship concluded with a threat of transportation for life , that seemed to be directed against the proprietors and editors of this journal .
Now , we must say that this leaves the question in a very unsatisfactory state . First , we have Lord Brougham declaring that the publication of treasonable speeches delivered in Parliament is a transportable offence , which is denied by Lord Campbell—one lawyer against another—and second , Lord Campbell contradicting himself , and stating that the intention of the parties in publishing a speech would decide whether it was an innocent or a guilty act . "We really must protest against such loose J . k
legislation as this . Let us know what the law actually is , if we are either to obey it or defy it , but don't leave us at the mercy of different judges , who may put different constructions upon " intentions . " Why , if that is to be the principle acted upon , this law may become a huge drag-net , ' in which every newspaper editor who mokes himself in the slightest degree obnoxious to the Government , may be caught , and , at the discretion of the Judges ,- sent to herd with felons for the remainder of their i
natural lives ! Howjfar the transportation of a score or two of editors and reporters might tend to make our penal colonies more " loyal * ' to the " mother country , " and to maintain its authority in them , are questions which must be left to such lawyers as Lord Brougham , and such statesmen as Lord J . Russell , to decide . We confess we have our doubts upon the subject , as also that" loyalty'' at home would be very seriously affected by such proceedings .
It is of no use mincing the matter . This debate shows that the new Act , not only prohibits the right of free speech , but virtually establishes a censorship of the press . "While other nations are engaged in the glorious task of reconstructing their institutions in accordance with the wants and enlightenment of the age , England has adopted a retrogade policy , and taken up the cast off institutions of despotic states . 1 . , -
The two " great guns" of the " Lower House ' came out strong on the third reading ofthe Bill . Sir R . Peel gave his cordial adhesion to Lord John , and Lord John declared , that while he had life or breath left in his body , he would resist the Repeal of the Union . There never was a House of Commons in which the peopld had so little chance of having their real interests attended to , as the pre . sent . The two great parties act in concert . There is no Opposition , and the Minister , hounded on ia his career against the liberties of the people by his old political enemies , is deliberately trampling upon all his former professions , as an individual , and upon the traditionary principles of his party . How long this ,
disastrous state of affairs may continue , it is impossible to sap The inevitable mischief that must result will sooner or later bring about a reaction in the public mind , and the necessity for having a Parliament that will more truly represent the country , be felt and acted upon . We only hope that that reaction may be a peaceable one . The safety of this country , in former times , has been owing to the faet that the great safety valves of the social machine—the right of speaking and writing—were allowed fair play . Our engineers have now tied them down , and placed themselves outside ofthe boiler . We shall see whether they escape the blow-up which appears the natural " termination of such infatuated
conduct . The curtain has now fallen upon the second act of the political drama played this Session , jy the actors in St Stephen ' s . The best of the Session of 1 S 48 has gone , for it seldom happens that much is effected after Easter . The curse ofthe Whi-s is upon Parliament . They have infected it with their own incapacity for useful and enlightened legislation , and only developed its latent capabilities for mischief . The times demanded a series of wise
progressive measures , which , while laying the foundation for the extension of political privileges to the mass of the people , and providing such social changes as are imperatively required by the condition of the poorer classes , would at the same time have prevented the sudden or violent displacement of any existing interests . But the Ministry are incapable of comprehending , or acting upon this truly Conservative policy . Of late years the origination of measures has been almost entirely usurped bv the Government . Individual members
rarely do so , because they know that no practical good can come of it , and hence the mortif ying fact , that the Legislative work of 1848 has so far been an utter failure , as regards remedial measures ; and only effective where the rights and liberties . of the People were to be invaded , and put down . Our own conviction is , that this character will continue to be stamped upon Parliament so long as the present occupants of the Treasury Benches are permitted to rule the destinies of this country . It is for the People at large to say how long that will be .

TO THE CHARTISTS OF NOTTINGHAMSHIRE . Brother Democrats , I am much gratified to learn that my conduct , as your representative in the National Convention , has earned your approbation . A letter from Mr John Skerritt informs me that it is the intention of the Chartist Council of Nottingham to put me in nomination to serve as one of your delegates in the National Assembly . Mr Skerritt has further informed me that , in all probability , my . ' election would be unopposed , and would receive the unanimous sanction of the people of Nottingham .
If I could accept the honour of election to the Assembly , I should regard it as the greatest compliment you could pay . me . To represent Nottingham , with the unanimoas sanction of its Democratic population , were an honour of which more worthy men than myself might well be proud . But my position in relation to the Northern Star forbids my acceptance ot that honour . When 1 assented , to serve as your unpaid delegate in the Convention , 1 could not then foresee that my services would be required
beyond the 10 th of April . But when the Convention assembled , the delegates found themselves , from the force of circumstances , engaged in discussions on the questions of " permanent sittings , " " a National , Assembly , " &c , See . One result of these discussions was , that I found myself engaged to serve you in the Convention until the 24 th of April ; subsequently , a vote ofthe Convention ( this day ) , by adjourning the meeting of the Assembly , has extended that service until the 1 st of May .
" No man " can serve two masters . " The truth of this I have verified since the 3 rd inst . Although I have worked nearly all night as well as all day , I have , whilst faithfully performing my duties as your delegate , been compelled to neglect , to a great extent , my duties as working editor of the Northern Star . This ; neglect , ' extraordinary circumstances might justify for s week or two , but it cannot be expected that Mr O'Connor would tolerate neglect of the Star as a rule ; yet , if I accept the delegation to the Assembly , such neglect must , of necessity , be " permanent . "
Were my duties , in connexion with the Northern Star , merely a matter between my employer and myself , I would not hesitate to sacrifice my private to my public duties , and throw up my situation at the office of the Star , " to take the honourable post of your Delegate in the National Assembly . But my private are also my public duties . When fulfilling my engagements to Mr O'Connor , I am at the same time performing my duties as a Democrat . In the Convention , I only represent Nottinghamshire ; but , in the Northern Star , I represent , and speak to , the Chartist party throughout these realms . I have to choose between the greater and the lesser duties . I choose the greater .
My place , as delegate for Nottingham , will be easily supplied . There are men abler , though not more devoted , than myself , from whom you may select an eloquent and honest man , a fit and proper person to represent you in the Assembly . But my place ^ could not be so readily filled at the office of the Northern Star . I say this , not vainly or foolishly . The hard-working management of the Northern Star cannot be taken up by [ any one at twentyfour hours' notice .
I shall best satisfy my own convictions as to the duties I owe to the people , to Mr O'Connor , and myself , by retaining my positien at the office of the Stars I believe , also , that by so doing , I shall bestj ^ serre you , the Chartists of Nottinghamshire . Therefore , men of "Nottinghamshire , I am compelled to come to ' the decision of respectfully declining- the honour of being put ! , in nomination for election tog the Assembly , at the public meeting on Good-Friday . I cannot conclude th 5 s letter without
expressing my admiration of the enthusiasm and steady devotion manifested during the last few weeks by the men of Nottingham , Suttonin-Ashfield , and the county ^ generally . You have proved yourselves § ' < Worthy sons of sires that baffled Gronu'd oad mltrad tyranny ; They defied the sword and scaffold For their birthright j—so will Ye !' I shall ever remember , with pleasure , my
representation in the " People ' s Parliament of the last stronghold of Saxon freedom . The shades of Robin Hood , and his " merry men , " even now beckon you on to the struggle against youv old Norman oppressors , and that infernal system which Norman guilt laid the foundations of in Saxon Wood . The moment the men of England , generally , are as " up to the mark'' as I believe you to ' be , that hideous system will perish beneath the withering curse of an enlightened and aroused people . ";
" Work a little lODger , " and you will not have long to wait' for "the good time coming . " Be neither rash nor apathetic . The imbecile Aristocrats now at the head of affairs , daily proclaim by their acts their incapacity to rule ; and the middle classes , by their cries of distress and indignation against the contemptible legislators of their own choice , are confessing that they are not competent of themselves to secure even
their own protection , ; On all sides the elements of popular power are combining for the overthrow of oppression , and despite Gagging Bills and the lies and . /' calumnies of a corrupt Press , perseverance , ^ and a wisely-directed courage , will win you your Charter , and through it public liberty and private happiness , 1 am , vrith ' sincere respect , Your devoted fellow-labourer , a G . Julian Habney . Northern Star Office , London , April 19 , 1848 .
