The water used for hot-spinning , is heated to 110 to 120 degrees . Tbe children hare almost continually to plunge th » ir hands and arms in that inter . The beat of those rooms and the steam , almost macerate * their bodies , and their clothes are steamed and wet When tbe master * go iato the rooms , they do not IoqJc to the fatigue of the children ; but if every one is not doing their work , there is a sliarp look out after them . It they t * il sick , it is hardly thought twice about , but they are sent home directly . The empioyrrt have abundant opportunity of noticing Vit txczssive fatigue of Hit children employed ! Jt is not allowed to have seats at all . They are not allowed to jpeak to each other . I never knew aa overlooker discharged for cruel conduct . If a child complains of ill-usage , she gets dischargedthat is all tbe redress she can have . The present system is ruining the rising generation ; it is sacrificing the children for a paltry consideration . '
" Samuel Djwne , of Hunalet Car , near Leeds , reports as follows : — ' I am twenty-nine years of age . 2 am a native of Shrewsbury . I was about ten years old when 1 began u > work , at Mr . Marshall ' s mill at Shrewsbury . When we were brii-k , we used generally to begin at five in the morning , and run tiJl eight at night . The engine sever stopped , except forty minutes at dinner time . These long hours were very fatiguing . The children were kept awake . by & blow or a box ! Tery considerable severity was used in that mill ! 1 was strapped most severely , till I could not bear to sit upon a chair without having pillows ; and I was forced to lie upon my face in bed at one time ! and through that I left I was strapped on my legs , and then I was put on a man's back and strapped ! and then I waa strapped and buckled with two straps to an iron pillar , ami flagged !! After that , the overlooker took a piece of tow , acd twisted it in the shape or a cord , and put it in my
mouth , aad tied it behind my head . ' He thus gagged me , and then he ordered me to run round a part of the machinery , and be stood at one end , and every time I came round , be struck me with a stick , wbicb I beliere was an . & > h plant , aud > "whteb he generally carried in his hand , till one of the men in the room came and begged n ' . jj off . ' „ ' At one time I was beaten so , that 1 had not the power to cry at all !! I was then twtween ten and eleven years o ; d ! Jt was winter time , and we worked by gas-light , and I could not catch the revolutions of the machinery , to take the tow out of the hackles ; it requires some little experience , and I was timid at it , and pricked my fingers yerj much with the hackles . I cannot assign sny other reason for it ! He-was not discharged from the mill . We were never allowed to sit ! We were not allowed to talk!—not at all , by no means ! ' If this man heard us , he came to us withhis stick I Tuung Women were beaten as well as young nien !"
" Jonathan Downe"s statement follows : — ' I reside in L-.-e ^ s . I 3 m twenty-five year 3 old . I Erst went to work at Mr . Marshall's mill when 1 was seven years old . Very severe methods were adopted , In order to compel us to work their long hours . 1 have seen buys kni > cUcd down with a strap : they hafe 1 ten called from their work , flogged , and then knocked down on the fl *> r ; and when they have bten on the floor , they hava been beaten till they Lave risen , and when they liave risen , they have been flagged to their wurk 3 gain . ' That was very common ! I kuow many who have been bound to pillars , ami then flogged—it is quite common to do so ! Females wer « als * chastised ! } . ' . > nseics were taktu to remove the overiovker who ii flicted such fitrtime chastisement . ' If we
hadcouip ' nincd to Mr . Marshall , we should have been discharged ; and whatever hand was turned away from Mr . Marshall's , Mr . Btnyen would cot employ ; and whatever hand was turned away from Mt Beayon ' s , ? 4 r . Marshall would ntt employ , —and these were the only two mills ia Shrewsbury . I have known a mother of two children , in Mr . Marshall's employment at Shrewsbury , knocked down by the overlooker . ' Hors * min , the manager , will go to the overlookers , and , if they have not done Something s-vere , be wi ; l say , ' 1 have neTer heard of your doing anything —you have never quarrelled with any » f tfe imnds—do something , that I may tear of it , and I will stand your friend ' . ' It is the usual practice to prepare mills , pre-Tions , to their being inspected by strangers . It is a
frequent thing at Mr . MaTs . haU ' 8 mill , where the least children are"employed , ithere are pWnty ¦ workiug at six yeirs of age ' . ) provided a child should be drowsy , the overlooker walks round the room , with a s : ick in his hand , sni he touches thit child on the sboulikr , and says , ' Come hero . In the csrner of the room , there is an iron cistern—it Is filled with water ; he takes this boy up by the legs , and dips him orerhead in the cistern , and seat ' s Sim to his work for the remain ier of the day ! and that boy ia to stand , dripping as he is , at his wtTk ! he has no chance of drying himself . ' That is the punishment for drowsiness !—for other offences there is a st « c ! fixed up at the end of the roeni ; the boy who offends ispnt to stand on this stool , sometimes on both legs , and sometimes on one of bis legs , with the other up , and be has a lever to bear in his hands , raised and stretched sver his head ; and there ht has to
etaixJ , for ten , or fifteen , or thirty minutes , jus : as the overlooker- chooses ; and , proTided he should lower bis arms , ; aad it is a great weight to ' bear for a quarter of an hoar , i I have seen the overlooker go and say , ' hold np . " atxl sometimes the boy will try to hold it up , and yet not have strength to raise it , anil tbe overlooker cuts him with his stick , until he dots actually get it up -, and the tears will run down his "face -whi ^ n be is there standing . ' I have seen this done there frequently — it is the' mrulw practice ! "We have a vast number of cri f pies . Some are crippled from losing their limbs —many from standing too long . It first begins with a pain in tbe ankle ; after that , they will ask the oterlooker to Itt them sit dotnj—but they must not . Then they begin to be weak in the k ;; ee—tbtn knock-kneed — after that , their feet turn out—they become splayfooted , and their ankles swell &s big as my fiats . 1 know many deformed in the way described- '
• The perusal of such horribly disgusting , cruel details , showing "by -what means Mr . J . G . Marshall has been made a rich man , makes the heart sick , and throngs the mind with thoughts that require well balancing , before they are expressed in words . " Who-does not feel his blood creep through his veins at the foregoing recitals of the deliberate , cold hearted , and barbarous slow murder of the young children of the factories ! Good God ! and is a man in prison for « xposiDg these enormities ; aud far advocuing humanity to the pallid , deformed , wasting , aad perishing victims ! We have read that our forefathers in Druidical days made baskets of wicker
work , rudely shaped in the form of man , and then filled them with human offerings whom they burned alive to appease or gratify their Bavage gods . Here wa ^ at all events sincerity of purpose , fell though it miicht be j it had religious feeling for iis basis ; and the suffering , though horrible and awful , was not very protracted : bat this devotion to the God Mammon-Moloch is more selfish , 13 for mere gain onlr , and prolongs the sufferings of death for day after day , month after moiUh , or year after year , torturing its victims as the ger does his weak prey , as if feasting on their pangs and lengthened aaoiiies .
As Mr . Marshal ] has figured away against Lord Fitzwiiiiam , with the aid of a friend in the b 2 ckground , who has served him as the moukey served the cats with the chesnuts in the fable , we would suggest the propriety of his appealing to his friend to give him a helping hand to get him out of the mire into wkich he haa dragged him . We must reserve the plums of No . 15 for our next .

THE NORTHERN STAR .
SATURDAY , APRIL 17 , 1841 . " WHO WILL BELL THE CAT V OrR comment upon the new move , ia our last number , waa necessarily brief . We were cot taken by surprise ; though we confess our astonishment at the manner in which our anticipations have been realised . It is the fashion with most political writers to predict events upon their occurrence ; thus upon subjects never , thought of we not unfrequently find our contemporaries launching into extravagant eulogiums upon their intuitive knowledge of facts , upon which , before they were known to all the world , our friends were dumb as the silent tombstone .
However , that tee did predict the forthcoming alliance , we shall presently submit what we trust will stand as unquestionable proof . In fact , we " belkd the cat" before the " cat came ont of the bag . " When we ' attempt to prove the affirmative or the negative of . any proposition for our toil-worn readers , who have not so much time to digest the whole matter- as we have , they expect that we shall
proceed to our work calmly and plainly , so as to aid them iu the formation of a sensible and deliberate judgment upon the subject . It is not enough that we S 3 . ? , " sievolo , " " sic jubeo , " thus I will , and thus I command ; but we must Bhew wherein our will should be their vrill ; and then the observance of their command becomes our honourable duty . Such are our reciprocal dependencies . If we are not free , we cannot defend tbe rigbt 3 of others ; while our freedom is of little use if not exersiBed boldly ,
manfully , and in defiance of all danger . We proceed ; then , to shew , firstly , that this Association is of O'Cossell , Hcue , and Roebcck ' s concoetion ; and , secondly , that we predicted it , and instantly belled the cat , " in the Slar of the 6 th . of Fe . bru . irv , under the head " The Triumph . "

" Mr . Home submitted a definition" of what he considered Household Suffrage ought to be , which was to be taken into consideration by the Association . Be stated that the leading men of the working classes generally concurred ia the definition , and had promised to give their assistance , were an f » it » , tion for such a Household Suffrage to be set on foot " Mr . 0 "ConneH cordially concurred in the suggestions of Mr . flaws . He considered it as of the first fanpertance that the reasonable portion ot the Chartist * should be got over to the aid of the Rational Reformers . He urged the necessity of some central body being established in London , for the diffusion of knowledge upon political subjects . The public atfnd should be saturated with ffuiis bearing on the present gross defects in the representation of the people .
' Mr . Roebuck aaidthat such a body was at present in contemplation in London , and he trusted that it would very speedily be set in operation , so as to act in concert with the Leeds Association . " Upon this announcement we proceeded to comment as fellows : — " Ay a , aye , we were aware that the ecouU were on the look-out for fragment * from the wreck of the good ship , ' Cburter , ' out of which they had , in their fanciful
imaginations , buiit a tight little bark for Whiggery to float a little longer on the stream ; but they have been Mistaken . We were not asleep j -we knew what was to have been tbe sequel of a Whig triumph at Leeds . We told the people that it was to have been followed by a similar side-blow at Chartism at Leicester , Manchester , snd Birmingham ; and by a whip in London . Hence we saw the full value of our triumph at Le * ds . "
After a few more comments we concluded the article thus : — " Now , this is bald . We challenge them—we dare them—we defy them , and we give them every man they can crimp—e * very bit of ' ginger' they can purchase , and our provincial delegates shall outnumber the H-o-u-B-ehold ambassadors . " No , no ; we were not caught napping ; nor will we be so dow ! London is garrisoned ; and no post service , even though it were half-hanging , can reconcile the troops to one single move of a pin ' s point from the thing—the ' Charter . '
" We nave long since said that agitation is now too cheap and unfashionable , in its ubw form , to arrest tbe attention and command the services of gentlemen too idle to work and too poor to d- > without it . So much for the Uotumla meeting , projected alliance , and new definition of H-o-u s-ehold Suffrage . " We imagine , that no man of sound mind will for ono moment doubt that the Association which hafi now sent forth its " Prospectus of Principle , " and which was to have acted with tne Leeds Association
for Household Suffrage had it been successful , is that very Association to which Messrs . Hums and Roebick referred , and which Mr . O'Connkix bo highly eulogised ; and that we did not for one siDg ] e moment doubt who the parties were , will be abundantly proved by our close watching and immediate exposure oi Mr . Collins ' s quibbles , quirks , aad shifts upon the question of Household Suffrage . In fact , being upou the spot , and seeing the parr vrhich he acted , it became at once plain andobv : ous , not only to us , but to every Chartist in Leeds , that his object was to get in the wedge , in order to epli . the popular party and erect a new one upon its ruins , at the head of which was to be placed the golden image , the " money-finders . "
That we then predicted what has since taken place , reference to the whole article of Feb . 6 th will prove ; and that we would meet the conspiracy on the threshold whenever it presented itself , the three last paragraphs which we have quoted above pledged us : aud now wo proceed fearlessly to redeem that pledge . Our Erst consideration iu this painful but necessary duty , i 3 to analyse the pretensions of those who thus lay claim to so much public confidence , as to warrant the hope that our whole temple , which has cost so much in the erection , shall be levelled , pulled to pieces , and destroyed , in order that the new architects may , from the materials , build up & better one , and more to public taste .
Of Mr . Rogers , then , wo know but little , and the Chartists know less . We kuow him to be what is called " a consistent Reformer" and disciple of Cobbett—to have been Treasurer to the Convention , and to hare resigned his trust : but further of his political labours ia tho Chartist cause we know nothing . Of his integrity as a man , we have the very highest opinion ; so we have of Mr . Bainesbut we would be sorry to be placed under his leadership .
Mr . Mitchell . If " not to know" Mr . lMiTCHELi . 11 argues one ' s self unknown , " we must e ' en suffer the charge of obscurity , and bear it as the penalty of our ignorance ; but positively we never heard of him before to our knowledge ; therefore if he 1 b indeed worthy the appointment which he seeks , or rather which he has assumed—if we are guilty of any offence against him , it merely amounts to a want of knowledge of the fashionable Chartist world . Mr . Collins we do know , and have known more of him than we could have wished of late . Mr . LovETr , we also know , and have known less of him than we could have desired of late ; however we have before apologised for his inactivity ; we could wish it had degenerated even into neutrality .
Messrs . Cleave and Hethebi . vgton are as well , nay better known , perhaps , to the Chartist world than ourselves ; therefore beyond the consideration of their part in the document under consideration ¦ we need make no comment . Before we comment upon the dangerous tendency of this document , let us consider whether or not the complainants are altother free from their principal charges , and whether or no they come into Court with clean hands . The complainants , then , charge the Chartists as follows : —
" We have wasted glorious means of usefulness in foolish displays and gaudy trappings , seeking to captivate the sense rather than inform the mind , and aping the proceedings of a tinselled and corrupt aristocracy rather than aspiring to the mental and moral dignity of a pure Democracy . Our public meetings Lave , on too manj occasions , been arenas of passionate invectiv , party spirit , and personal idolatry . " Now , with the exception , of out very excellent and stanch friend , Dr . M'Docall , we know of no one person upon whom so much "foolish display " and " gaudy trapping" has been wasted of late aa upon Mr . John Colliss ; and , curiously enough , when 31 'Douael complained of the waste Mr . Collins was altogether silent . We do wish that he had received this stroke of conscience before he
put the warm-hearted people of Scotland to the expence of sa many carriages and four greys , so many tea parties , public eatries , medals , scarfs , and all the insignia of "foolish display and gaudy trappings , " aud before he put U 3 to the expence of some £ 40 in reporting the honour thus conferred . This complaint from Mr . Colli . ns , therefore , very forcibly reminds us of lb . e thrifty dame , who , after borrowing her neighbour ' s tea kettle for twenty years , at length got one of her own ; aud then the good dame , good lack ! discovered that borrowing was a most injurious practice , and lending just as bad .
' Our public meetings have on too many occasions been arenas of passionate invective , party spirit , and personal idolatry . " Our friends , whose answer to Mr . Lovett we embodied in our last week ' a short comment , have left us little to say upon this latter charge , to which they have so perfectly , and so feelingly , and so justly replied . Oae portion of the subject , however , appears to have escaped the memory of Mr . Lovett ' s correspondent , and to which we shall direct his attention .
This charge of " passionate invective , partyspirit , and personal idolatry , " comes with a bad , a very bad , grace from five out of the aix . complaicanta . Of late the only meetings , or nearly so , hare been upon the subject of the Corn Laws ; indeed all , where any " passionate infective" or " party feeling" were manifested ; and here we ask if it was not the unanimous recommendation of tbe Convention , of which Messrs . Lovett , Collins , Cleave , Hethebingiok , and Rogers were members , that all agi tation for a repeal of the Corn Laws should be resisted , overcome , and put down ! With what colour of right , or show of justice , then , can they now turn upou those who in thus displaying their w personal idolatry , " have but acted upon the adtica of the complainants themselves ?

But , perhaps , our friendsmaj-anewer , " yes , but we meant to meet the queBtiong with coolness and argument , and not with angry feelings and passionate iareolire . " We ask Messrs tovETTand Cotuws , in tnrn , what was the resolution for which they suffered twelre months in Warwick GaoJ I Was it not for the declaration that the people , while peaceably , legally , and constitutionally ( and not passionately or intemperatel y ) discussiug their gmr ances , were brutally , illegally and unconstitutionally attacked and dispersed , with " passionate invectrre '' and "party feelingr
Again , let us just enquire who in these" passionate invectives and exhibitions of party feeling have been the aggressors ? whether the Chartists , as the complainants most dishonourably and unjustly charge , or those hired bludgeon lecturers and the other interested parties who grew intolerant from Chartist long forbearance , untii at lengthlit became necessary to meet invective by invective , and angry feelin K with angry feeling . In every single caee tfaeCharaaia have nobly acted apon the very suggestion of the Convention , of which fire ot the complainants were members .
Surely Mr . Hetherington could not have joined m this denunciation of the Chartibta' conduct at public meetings , else he must have forgotten his Jetter of justification of their conduct to the Morning Chronicle , so recently written ; aad surely Mr . Cleave did not read it , else he must have forgotten his recent part at the mo 3 t angry meeting we have recorded for a long rimo , ( indeed , ever we may say , ) held but a few weeks since at the Crown and Anchor . But , perhaps , being in opposition to Mr . WaI / TEH , a Tory , may constitute the difference . We are willing to do most of the gentlemen , indeed ali of ihem , the justice to say that they have never , to our knowledge , evinoed any " angry feeling" or " party invective" at a single Whig meeting that has been called in the metropolis within our
recollection . As for the " personal idolatry , " we shall only add , in addition to what has been already said , — " sour grapes !" When Mr . O'Coa-nor worked himself nearly to death , forming committees of supply aud release for Messrs . Lovett and Collins , we never heard a sentence in condemnation of that respect of which he literally made them idols . But , perhaps , like the temple , tho idols too have lost their charm , and new ones are to be set up in their stead .
There are some who would blend popular idolatry with electoral support to gain Parliamentary honours ; and , we foar , they have become golden images with new worshippers . We think , however , that the personal idolatry may be strung with the "foolish displays aud gaudy trapping , " and hung round Mr . Collins ' s neck with his various ' medals , as he is the only one of that party who , of late , has been made an idol of . We shall now consider the professed object of the parties , and the means by which that object is to be achieved .
Of course , in the outset , the Charter is the object ; indeed nothing else would do to bait the trap . Any declaration short of the whole Charter , would at once strangle the infant in the cradle . The object theu is to achieve the Charter , and the means are by a voluntary tax of two hundred and fifty-six thousand four hundred aud eight pounds per annum . Fore Gad , this is coming it strong ! and smells rank of the old fox , Dan . i But to the object .
Now , is there one single man of the six , or one man with half an eye in England , who is not awa . re that the real object of the new move is to destroy the old move ! Do the parlies themselves not know , and know full well too , that our last course must be their , /?™/ course—that every stone which we have been placing with so much care , one on the top of the other , must be pulled down ; our top stones being their foundation stones . Do they require equality ? No ; if they did , they would join in what is already so far progressed ,
and , by their judgment , endeavour to repair what is faulty , instead of attempting to destroy what is sound . They must know that two Associations , holding aloof from each other , when their professed object ia identical , mu 3 t weaken each other . They must know , as indeed thuy p ' aiuiy confess , that cv arrive at that point where they invite US to Stop short , would cost them years of trouble , and the nation millions of money . They cannot bo ignorant of these things ; and hence , we fear that discord was in truth their object , though of course not their professed object .
What claim , we would ask , have they to public confidence , beyond any man now acting upon the Executive of tho National Charter Association ? 0 ! ** Mr . Roebuck haa not yet said it is a legal body . " True , truo ; wo forgot that // . ' These six gentlemen , while they disclaim all intention of interfering with any Association now in existence , at the same time modestly style themselves " Tbe National Association of the United Kingdom . " After which in ten distinct clauses , the first commencing with a falsehood , they set forth their objects . They disclaim any notion of interfering with any Association now established , while in section No . I , they commence thus : — " To establish IN ONE GENERAL BODY ^ persons of all creeds , " and so forth .
Now , here again , our Metropolitan friends may turn upon us and . say , " 0 ! but we leave every man to the option of joining as many associations as ho pleases . " True again ; but if it requires the enormous sum of more than aquarter of a million annually to carry out the dear objects of one , how many more can each man efficiently support ? Section No . II , is a sprat to catch a mackerel ; as of course , nothing but the whole Charter will now take .
No . Ill , at once proclaims that the organisation is to be carried on upon new principles , enforced by new missionaries ; as the words " seeing that the intentions of the general body are carried into effect , " has that and no other diplomatic meaning . In fact , this section savours of much authority . TheEe three first sections we may take as declaratory of the objects set forth in tho seven which follow , and in which the " modus operandi " is laid down .
But then , alas ! we come to the means , £ 256 , 480 per annum . Of course , we may be told that this is all voluntary , and ^ may , or may not be raised ; that its collection is merely put hypothetically . True again ; but , if it fails the whole fabric of which it is the very groundwork , fails also ; because all the plans in the Ten Commandments are declared essential to the success of the project ; and the £ -256 , 480 per annum being the means of their accomplishment , it becomes an indispensable . Therefore , we shall deal , firstly , with the chances of getting the money , and , secondly , with the proposed mode of expending the money if we had it .
We find that the number who signed the National Petition are relied upon , certainly hypothetical ^ , as data for volunteer tax-payers . Let us , from the natural disposition of man to have a finger ib his own pie , just see in how far this would suit the taste of one of the very best Radical towns in the empire , Glasgow . Suppose , then , that Glasgow cane up to the mark and had 60 , 000 signatures , each signature standing for a Id . per week ; this would leave to Glasgow thirteen thousand pounds annually , to be spent in , and for , Glasgow . It would give them four
district Halls , or Normal or industrial Schools , at £ 3000 each , and fifty libraries at twenty pounds each , every year ; whereas if they put that sum into ' the National Lottery , it would be but the price of a ticket , by which they may , or may not , be entitled to £ 3000 . Now in the good old times , according to the Grand Lottery scheme , a man got his chance of a £ 40 , 000 prize fora £ 23 ticket ; but here ho gets his oh ? nee of a £ 3000 prize for a £ 13 , 600 ticket , and so v ith roaDy other towns . ' * True , again , " say the Nationals ; " but zounds , death and the devil J who will argue upon bo cramped and narrow a view of

patriotism ; should not all work for attf Yes , we answer , and so they do ; and work best by working in their own locality , under their own direction , and according to their own judgment ; not by doiDf what missionaries 8 hall «« e jit . But suppose we hate the money . Tiebbjectisto haveindufitrialiallsandiibraries . These places have to be ¦ built , and the layi » K the foundation atone of the first industrial ball would be like the cold creation of a new world . We think we see a poor hand-loom weaver looking wistfully at the Blew fire which is destined to boil hia pot , exclaiming : with the fox , when he - — -on heap of stones , "That will be a good fire when it liahtB ! " : .
Will some good fellow furnish us , next week , with an appropriate dialogue between one of the architects laying the foundation stone of the first hallthe new temple of Liberty , and a hand-loom weaver with nrne children , waiting its completion as a , means of relief { "But we have the mouey ; the Object 18 , to carry the Charter , and we are quite sure that none will deny that with the Charter knowledge , temperance , and industry would progress ten thousandfold quicker than without it ; therefore , we all agree that , fit or unfit , the sooner we get the Charter the better . " Well , then , we have the money , and now let us try our hand at the expenditure .
" The value of anything Is just the price that it will bring . " What would our friends think of the following application of £ 256 , 480 ? [ welove to write the sum , it looks so TEMPTING , and " so werry TICING . " ] We have , then , the £ 256 , 480 , to be applied as follows : —Wages of one hundred independent Members of Parliament , at £ 1 , 500 each for the Session , £ 150 , 000 ; for the support of a Morning Paper , the 6 ame size as the Morning Chronicle , to be sold at 2 £ d ., £ 10 , 000 ; ditto , for an Evening Paper , ' same size aud price , £ 5 , 000 ; ditto , for a
weekly paper , largest size allowed by law , at 3 d ., £ 5 , 000 ; for wages for a standing Parliamentary committee of seven , to sit in London during the Session , and to be elected by the whole people , at £ 10 per week each , for twenty-five weeks , and removal at pleasure of the people , £ 1 , 750—the duties of committee to pay members at the end of < aeh month , stopping salary according to scale of nonattendance , or any other neglect ; 1 GG missionaries at £ 5 per week , for twenty weeks , £ 10 , 000 . Balance for election fuud , defence fund , tract fund , and other incidental expeuces , £ 74 730 per annum .
Now , what would our friends think of such an " Appropriation Clause , " the enactment of which woulu , wefancy , putus , in less than two years , in joint possession of all the Town Halls , Science Halls , Union Halls , Normal and Industrious Schools Libraries , Parks , Pleasure Grounds , Publio Baths , Buildings , and Places of Amusement , in the kingdom , ready built , furnished , stocked , and raised to our hands ; instead of expending annually the sum of £ 240 , 000 , nearly the whole amount of tho afcnual taxes , in what the economists call ** unproductive labour , " piling bricks and mortar on top of each other .
Then the economists did not consult their brethren , although some parts of the address bear evident marks of sligh ( disapprobation , recently experienced by men who were "idok" before they threw tho idolaters upon their own resources , and would now give them" washing BATHS . " We thought weshould require a dip for an electoral qualification , and next we shall want perfume , what Mr . O'Co . vwoii called
the "fashionable stink . " "Truo again , " say the Nationals , " but where will you get the 100 members ?" We have them ; only give us the £ 1 , 500 a piece for them and we have them , 200 if we want them , ready made iu the market , aye and in the House . Twenty-fire ten pound UOtes , on tho first Monday of every month , would be a tempting thing ; fifty English , forty Irish , and ten Scotch ; there they are , aud a contest , a violent contest for priority .
Do our fneuda suppose that parties who now vote black white for the mere purpose of getting a paltry commission in the army or navy , a small living in the church , o ^ an appointment to a £ 300 a year commission Upr a brother , friond , or cousin , would not vote that white was white . for the pleasure of putting £ 1500 a year into tneir own rob I Sinccun&ts , half-pay officers , little barristers , small pens oaers , ministerial hacks , would scratch each others eyes out in buch a contest . Government don ' t give one half the sum to as many members for slavish work , and by which alone they keep up their majorities .
One hundred independent gentlemen would firstly cut off all the money-mongers who could not leave the TempU by day , by obliging the House to meet by day . Our hundred would force Government , upon all questionsj and upon Supply questions , to keep tho House up to a four huudred pitch , at tho very least . Our * hundred members would have a double barrelled daily press , to annoy the enemy ' s flank and a weekly cannonade to defend their country
garrisons . It i 3 by this very system , at which the French Chamber of Deputies has recently levelled bo tremendouB a blow ; that our court party is enabled to procure its ascendancy in both Houses of Parliament , by pensioning pauper Peers and bribing pauper Commons . Wo could pay 150 , if necessary , but we prefer keeping a sinking fund of £ 75 , 000 annually , for " incidental expences , " for which our friends reserve only £ 12 G a year .
It must be borne in mind that a'l our arguments are based upon the presumption that wo have the £ 25 « , 480 ; and let it be borne in mind that , failing in its acquirement , our friends' objects are all unattainable ; therefore , the only question at issue is , which plan would most speedily achieve the proposed grand object— " the Charter ? '' That is the whole , the sole , the only question . In fact , tho naked proposition is justthi 8 : —A certain amount of abstinence ,
information , self-respect , aud so forth , constitutes so many requisites for the attainment of a certain object . The question at issue , therefore , is resolved into a narrow compass , namely , whether or no the means considered indispensable for the accomplishment of the proposed object are attainable , and , if attainable , whether they could be applied to a more speedy achievement of the end . It is for the country , not for us , to give the answer to the question .
There are some very curious Tacts connected with this document . It denounces idolatry , while it assumes leadership . It claims co-operation , while it respectfully receives that , with or without it , it will use every " possible effort" for the attainment of its objects . Let us just ask a question or two . If the names attached to the document had a right to expect so muck public confidence , why keep the project secret except from the " Leading Chartists . " Apropos , we imagined that one of the great objections to modern agitation was Leadership . Why
assume leadership 1 Why not call a meeting ia London , on the spot , and where the pretensions of the six gentlemen were best known , and where * if acknowledged by a public meeting , the thing would have had tho stamp of public confidence and the sanction of . publio approval , not only of tfc i " Leading Chartists" but of the body of Chartist- Why have a self-elected Board of Mauagemy jt because w « find the following most astoua din / admission " It is also intended that tbe pr fsoni

" Hera we lave the * moan tat q going to Mahomet , instead of Mahomet to the mountain , with a vengeance : herd we have a whole nation surrounded in the dark by half a dozen gentlemen , and handed over , neck and

In faith , it fe marvellous lucky for poor CCo ^ on that he did no * even reeomtnend to such an appointment , or offer funds to a missionary , or be would he called a " despot , " and would cease to be an IDOL . " London is the place that mast speak out upon this subject as to the amonn-t cf confidence to be placed in those who seek it ; aad the country baa bat one part to act in the concert ) , namely , to say whether or no , they , the people , are prepared to commit political suicide , by cutting tbe throsi of tbe oofy association from which they ean expect a thorough union , and which they , themselves , hare elected in open day .
We think we have done oar part calmly , temperately , and boldly ; we say to tbe people " Do y © likewise . " " Out of evil comes good . " So far from the hew scheme tending to weaken or disorganise the Radical ranks , it WJU have the effect of paralysing the enemy , by evincing the firmnet s and resolution with which the " idolators" cease to < worshiptheir former "idoJs , "upon theslightestcbange of that principle which led to adoration . Our course shall be in this storm , —be it short or be itl « ng , be it a squall or be it a hurricane , —just what it has ever been , straight forward ; resolved that the good ship Charter , shall not be wrecked even in the dark for want of a good look out .
