Bitjrea t :- f- -ert t ^ vs c-, r-Ooned end tho l » ke , otaore reaehisir the centre of lie rf'r , a fiB <« rising p ? = und comai « ic = 3 , the ascent t-. which is ? ery rteep . Oa the acdrriiy are a few bnildixtgs , ami msnv on the top , it « iere leaving a fiit surface , which ? s laM ont for streets to a great extent . On the verge of the lake , on this , what rosy be tinned table knd , stands a noit ligbt-bonss , and on the town STde Milwalkey honfie , an iiotel , kept by MonMeui Juno , oi Jnnot , a lich Frenchman ; It is a large showy building , and casts all others near it into the shade . ^^ ^ The sou * ra this elevation is light , more gravelly than sandy , and , of course , very upt to be burnt up in dry weather- ; therefore it is best adapted for building purposes . Being situated more distant from themsrshes , and also more exposed to the refreshing fcreeae from lake Michigan , it is mate liiely to ensure the health of the residents .
Mons . Junot , the above-Earned landlord , ( who married his squaw , ) was one of the Srst Battlers of the place . He T * a 3 offered five yejs Dossession of the steamer « MDwalkey , " { respecting which there were great disputes among the shareholders . ) if he would take her over the bar , at the mouth of the river ; which he effected , and which was considered a very great feat . She now lays in the river , close to the town ; and being one of a confederated number , she is receiving her share of the proBta , after deducting the cxpences of those in combination to keep up the fares , and plying bexwesn Buffalo and Chicago . * This combination is very injurious to Emigrants , who come in vast numbers to this part The vessels sail every two ^ ays , and have often from 300 to 506 settlers on
board , who land at all the intermedisfcs ports between Buffalo and Chicago ; as Dunkirk , Cleveland , Fort Maldon , Detroit , but principally at Milwalkey , Racine , Sonthport , and Chicago , from whento tbey spread thejnsdves to whither their friends ekj have gone before them , or in search of a honsa . Tbcsa who bare good management , and a little capital to tnable them te purchase an allotment of land , may do well ; but those who lack the means , and only depend upon finding employment under others , generally find tbeaiselves disappointed in consequence of the great iifiux of Eangranta and deficiency of cspital , in combination with the very low price at which produce is sold . Females may succeed much better than the other sex ; and I have seen none without situations who were willing to engage as servants .
Near Mjltpalkbt I saw what was nrt inaptly termed a bee palace . It was eight feet high , eisht feet long , and fesr-and-a-half feet broad . It was very ingeniously constructed , and the bees were busy at wort . Being on travel in England , a few years age , from Kieweastle to Boronghbridge , I met with a young man , a native cf the l&tter place , "who gave me a very intrrtsting account cf MILWalkbt , at which place ha had resided in the capacity of a shopman , and said be had come to England on a visit to his lelatiTea , He infanned me of thB extreme dissipation of the Inviiana , whom the Whites had corrupted in every possible way , and also of their taking every advantage of che ignorant simple natives , by giving them valued B 3 trinkets in exchange for the most costly furs ; honesty tnd religion being totally disregarded by the Whites ; but every Khese resertsd to , to possess themselves of the produce of the TTtrtranR * three or four months' hunting .
He likewise informed me that a person who bad purchased tae land upon which ililwalkey is now built , Teal ? Z 3 d an immense fortune by selling it in building lovs 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 quality , part woed and pirt prairie , could be easily pbtaired at one dollar and a quarter per acre . Being now upon the spot , I made enquiry for this same person , atd wssgrisved to learn that when 1 saw bim in England be had decamped with considerable proper ty belonging to his employer . Of course he never returned , as he stated was his intention .
Is acdibos , the same person informed me that the cutting of a canal was in operation from Milwslkey to Sock river , a distance of fifty or sixty miles , and that when completed the vessels could be navigated from If ew York by that course , down the Rock River and Mississippi to New Orleans and the Gulph of Florida . Tiiis description gav 6 me a very favourable opinion of the locality . His information 1 found to be correct , as respects the country , the treatment of the Indians , the manufacture of sugar , &c . ; and before 1 take my leave of thw inlerestiag territory , I feel it necessary to give the following information , extracted from a letter ¦ erittento a friend in I / mdonfrom Fort Atkinson , which will in some measure supply the gap left consequent upon my before mentioned inability to visit that place , and will contrast with the information received from the gentlemen at New Berlin , given above . 3 deem it ricbt to observe that the writer of the f oDffwing , resides on ths spot he describes : —>
* ' 1 am firmly convinced that Wisconsin will soon be a great country for manufactures . " At present money is exceedisgly scarce ; but this need not be wondered at , as all who come here wish to possess as much land as their means will reach , after baying which , and paying down for it { which is the uniform rule in &H surveyed districts ) farming implements ire to purchase , stock to bny , house and effie ^ s to build , which drains the limited means that new reitlers are generally pessessed of , and leaves them ' p » oi indeed ; " while markets being so bad , the crops , for a few years , do not raise them above their poverty .
** At W ^ teriewE , fsrenty ciilss from Rock River , runninx thrcu « a a bed of Linej-tone , in three miles there is s . fall thirty tliree feet . On this spot an incalcu ' - eble amount of machinery conld be driven . At Whttewateb , seven milss frsm us . there are three or four « xccli » ut mill sitps ; and on Co 5 conery Creek there are ts ^ o good mill sites . From the bottom of those falls a steam boat plyed i » uring all last summer to St Louis . " This is a fine country for sheep . One of my neiehbenrs has already got 100 of that valuable animal . The quality of the land is excellent . *• The ZBtwslkey and Kock rirer canal , which is now in progress , is only seven miles from us . " Fr « n Madison , the capital of the territory , we are thirty miles . " This is a splendid country , and where I hope you will cave the pleasure of a daya hunting with me , txe many years . "
The letter from which the above is extracted bears date 7 th December , 1811 . The canal referred to is now Hie many other valuaVle public works , lying dormant for lack of the necesary funds . My intention , when at Chicago , web to travel west--rard still farther . My fccalti ., however , rendered it impassible to bear the heat , which was excessive . 1 was glad to meet persons of intelligence 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 had from this become fctrongly impressed with a belief that safety to either ¦ was at least a matter of great doubt , in consequence of the territory being overrun withhorse-tbie ~ rs , smashers , ( coiners ) , gamblers , rogues and vagabonds of 6 very description . In opposition to these statements , I give the evidence of Mr . Manning , Bidweli MillB , of Brighton Towtship , ( where he holds considerablelsnds , ) Washington Gonnty . State of Misouri , between forty and forty-one north latitude , and Jorty-flve miles west of Mississipi , lying between the Dis Moines and Skenk rivers .
This gentleman states that the inhabitants of his territory are intelligent , temperate , and generally religious That few outrages are committed , and that life asd property are perfectly safe . The land in general isa black loam , from two to three feet deep , and dry . llis surface tiinla-ing , or rolling . No marshes in his neighbourhood . The principal productions are wheal , barley , rye , oats , Indian corn , hemp , flax , and tobacco . The sttUtn . ent beisg now , fruit tees have cot got matured ,- bn no d » ubt exists that fruits in great variety will be TToduced in abundance . Plums , blackberries , and various wild fruits are very plentiful ; also hickory , hazal , and ether tnts . Springs are few . By digging from tiTflve to tweniy-five feet , the purest , coldeBt , and best water is plentifully produced . On SkonS river , in every five miles , there is sufficient fall fcr any description of machinery .
Bich silver ere has been discovered in the immediate neigbbenrhood ; ind « d , in Brighton township , which , according ts > the general rnle , is six miles sqnare , silver ore is fcund at a depth from five to ten feet from the szatace . 3 Jr . MiJls carried a Email quantity with bim . which he intended to have analyzed in Ohio before bis return . Coal in abundance is found on the surface of the banks , the beds of wttch take a sloping direction into the earth . The seams average about four feet in thickness . The dense woods sre nsnerally situated on the feordere of the streams , rhe f-iafcer is very large , and consists principally of a vast varitty of tba ouk species , ash , reech , hickory , cfcessut , walnut , Ei ^ d butternut ; maple is not plentiful .

The ahip was crowded " » hh a cheerlul coEipar . y , -with whom I iniagled for the purpose of eliciting i 3 * ornntion . ^ The shore was flat and uninteresting , being covered with wood of a middling sizi Mr . Trotuura Beaumont Tripp , of Rock Island , State of Illinois , was on board , and informed me that he had 160 acres in his possession , sixteen of which were cleared . It was situate 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 a « 14 itional , and here commences thepia-rie
which stretches ont to a distance of ten miles by six or seven . It is dry , and well stocked with timber , and has also some fine springs . Wild geese are plentiful ; also turkeys , prairie hens , quails , wild ducks , part ridges , -wild swans , pelicans , sand-hill cranes , eag ' es , and turkey buzsmds , a bird ra shape and siaa somewhat simikr to a "Wild turkey . All here are opposed to the destruction of the turkey-bnazir . l , because they devour carrion an *! prevent disorders that might be produced by the effluvia if Ivft uneaten or unbnried . There are also heruns , jajs , rooks , likewise rabbits , hares , prairie squirrels , ( spottedlike fawns , ) goffers , skunks , badftrs . racooons . small piga , prairie wolvep , deer , . and bnffaloa . Fish also abounds in great variety ; BTnong which are eels , pike , suckers , and trout , which ¦ sra generally u . ken -with nets and fixed lines 3 ? ruit is also -very plentiful , such as apples , ipears , cherries , piams , strawberries , quinces , grapes , gooseberri-.. ? , enrrauts , ar . d mandrakes . I had some of thelattir » i an inn between Tsor and
Milwalket , the € rct I had sieen , aud the richest fruit 1 bad ever tasted . The ' r vesetaWts consist of tomatos , sweet potatoes , turnips , carrots , snJ cabbaifea They have potatoes of every description and of the best quality ; alao wild hops in abundance . To procure water they kave to dig to the depth of thirty or forty feet , or otLerwisa feJgh it from the river . ThJ 3 gentleman has let his farm in the West , and Js going to reside upon tn estate ho possesses in the State of New Tort He is to have one-fourth of the whole produce in lieu of rent
About thirty steam-boata pass this place dail ? upon the Mississippi , going and returning between NEW 0 Bxeass , St . Louis , and Gaiexa , the capital of tbe mining < ii > trict , the latter Iking sixty-five miles , and the formtr thirty miles Iror . i tins geutVtiniBn'a estate . Hi . T- B T- informed m < j that be'Aad disposed of seven swarms of bees , before the regular swarming time for twenty-one dollara , and now there are nineteen swarms produced from the seven . In his neighbourhood bees thrive well ; there are ciacy bee-houaes , and honey is very plentiful . The jiississippi , at this piece , is tfcree-qnarteis of a mile broad , and is crossed by hand , horse , and steampower . The climate is exc-ev . ingly temperate ; the cattle are only fed within dcors for the space of eight or ten we ks in -winter . The principal market for wheat is at SaVanhaI ! ; conEideral )'' e qnantities beiug uIbo sent up to Galena , &t& Praikie Du Chien to supply the mines . Nothing is bent to Ntw OKLsaks , with the exception of a few vegetabies . Ttie up-a-srd markets answer much belter .
This gaitleman also told me that in lue district there were both horse-stealers , snd forgers , or " Emashers . ' Bat that Missivcm was the most isfested wit ^ i them . He also informed me that vsrt tracts of lanci of the first quslity and in good situations may be ha-. i in the tcrritoiy of Iowa , that mi&ht Lj " squatted" npon u : < til surveyed by the government astuta , —a tbir ^ ¦ which may not happen for several jests . But unless the squatter' be prepared to pa ^ within a givt a time after the survey , the land will be put up for ealo , and he may thus lose all his labour and expence in making improvements . Nothing whaWver can
hiYalidate the right of the f quatter to svtain possession of the land , provided he pays the government pries when surveyed , not even tbe State , should it be required for a centre , a capital , or a ceunty site . When a survey ia made , a certain extent of land is alwaja allowed for the erection of a Court of Justice , an < 1 iil : swi £ e to defray the expense of such erection . Should t $ e portion " squatted" upon turn out , on the suivey , to bo in the sixteenth sectien of the township , la portion uniform ; y appropriate to tha use and support of tchocHs ) aad if tie land has been paid for , aiid the RepnVic r « . qniie it for public prnposcB , the holder can dtmand ful Value and compecE . T . tion .
Vvhere rmafcra ' u are discovared before saiea p . rr effected , the laud is retained by the governini-Jit , wti sold only on condition that when worked , a e ? vtn portion of the wriniuce of the mine 3 thall be psid into the Suites' tschf quer . After the first tale if land , should the " fq . .. u-r , " for w ; uit ef m ^ ans , ba compelled to let it pass ir . in L . u without pnrcfcsu ^—which frequently happens— : b . n it is often sold at 1 ^ dollars per acre , —the same as ihsX without buildings or improvement ; and thus the pwi " fquntter "' loses the whole . But if it be kn > vm to his neighbours that he , the " squatter , " is short of money , and any of them go and bid at the laud tfficu and take it out of bis hands , hia life would not i « . worth a creek ' s purchase : the neighbourhood would be aTcused by tbe advantage taken , and the nggre : ¦? r would sptedily be " Ijnehed ; " tbat is hanged to a trt 9 .
or otherwise put to death . This ia by no means uncommon , especial );/ en the West of the . Mississippi , where culprits are even , sometimes taken out of the hnncs oi the authorities and " lynehed" by common assent . In many cases the conservators of the public peace are saved the trouble of assenting or dissenting . When the population increases this will be stayed . It frequently . fc * pp ? ns , however , that strangers , ignorant of sreb cLrenmstances . purchase such plots with impunity . This occurred with Mr . Bower , formerly of Netheitbong , ness EufitjeriBchK whom I met , at Chicago , and also at Milwaiket last evening , he having been that day aic-sg rrith bis son to the land-onlco of the latter place , and there paid for an eighty acres lot , adjoining the farm acd reiidence of my late neighbour , Mr . J . Kaye , who is living in a remote place , without having any hnniaii belnc near him . His farm is fourteen milesnorth-trest of Racine .
A poor felloTy -nrho btid the plot bought by Mr . Bower being nnabie to pay -for it , Trent to the land agent , and begged him to aUow two months , in which time he would pay the money . Tha 8 geat did not object to the proposal , except on the ground of tbe law binding them , as public servants , to accept the first money offered . Byvrer g . iing the ntxfc day , the unfortunate man lost his labur and improvements , which in equity Bower ought to pay to him . When at East Troy , I'thought of my friend and neighbour , Mr . Wilson , shoemaker , who might do well at tbat place , they being much in want of ene of hia craft there . A young man , a tailor , named Mansfield , from London , is doing exceeding well .
A flour mill is about to be erected at this place , and a saw mill is already in operation . At present corn baa to be conveyed twenty miles to grind . One half of the timber taken to saw is returned , : ind 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 down what timber they may require . Indeed this can harily be prevented , while the land remains unappropriated . At Tbot , I saw sixteen sand-hill crsneB flying In the same line cf order as I have seen Solon geese 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 while 1 have been hastily and irregularly embodying my notes .
The " Banker Hill , " a fine steamer , was in Milwalkt > y Bjy , on her way to Chicago . I got on board for BCFiALO , while Bhe was taking in firewood . It wouid be a great novelty in England to see the decks of the steamers literaDy covered with billets of split and round timber , four or five feet In length , and piled up to the height of eight or nine feel , and to see four or six men constantly employed in throwing down those large billets into an i open space , fronting the furnaces , sometimes with their hands , and sometimes , B-htre the distance is greater , they have two pieces of wocd trith ropes fixed between , forming a sort of handbarrow ; by this means they throw them down with great facility , irbiie two other men are engaged in cranimizis them into the fire ; one or two men are also emplcjcd to supjp ' y ether fireo with coal . The quantity cf fuel consumed is immense , and astonished me and others , t * hose attention I directed to the circumstance .
Wood is supplied ' at fa very station in quantities not to be beiiev ^ i by those vrfco have not witnessed it Were not ihi- \> . EseIs constructed in a peculiar manner —having a second deck above with sleeping births , occupying nearJy tLe whole length , with openings at the ends , and a s ? a ! k rourd for the passeDgers—the immense quantity of billets would be most inconvenient , and indeed dangerous , from the falling down of the piles . The dttks are very spacious , extending over the sides of the vessel , end Lave otherwise a very different appearance to any ssen in England . The captain ' s station ia above the second deck ; the helm is woried by chains uf great length , the steersman standing forward near the bead of the vessel , so that nothing may obstruct Mb view .
On this long voyage the steerage passengers can purchase no provhrienB on board in any other way than by going to tbe same table which the cabin passengers have left , when they have to pay twenty-five eento per meaL Provisions being so rrny cheap , this Ja a « mrce © 1 great praflt At the fad ; stations proviiionSTnay be
procured . : As we journeyed along , the shore of Wieconsin leemed quite flat . During a portion of our time , we stood opposite Grim B&y , tut were not in sight of land . Before nightfall , wersa" » the opposite shore in the State of Michigan ; and in the night we passed tbe Manito Islands . At day-break we found ourselves approaching the Narrows . Some fears were txpressed during the night that we should have to land on the Manitos for a supply of firewcod . This would have caused considerable delay . However , it was fortunately avoided .

T-1 stores generally keep whiaky ; and as tho Indians nea-iy all get intoxicated , they are all but robbed of thti property . Theyiseldom take anything away with then , but return destitute to the forests there again to pursue their occupation of hunting and fishing . Many cf iLcm were encamped in their wigwams , which consist of a few rough poles S 8 t on end , an < I tied together at i \ : o top , forming a rough tent , by no means
waterpr ; of , generally haviiig only around them a loosa matting , or whatever else they can procure . Hero the inmate Lay or Bqaa * on the gravtL To the westward as fir as the eye could reach those habitations were viaiblu , end in some parta they ' wwe very crowded . Numbers of these natives were to be seeu Etvo ^ ing along the beach , of different ages and of varied areas ; some most fantastic , Borne plain , some Euurt , and adorned with jewels , an 1 others quite the reverse . Many W 6 ro loitering and others fishing , and some enrrying away very fine fish of a large s " ze . I was r ^ rry that none of them could speak a language to It underituod , ; s wo had to stay about ave hours takiDg in firewood . The store-keepers &fk extraordin ;; ry high prices far the Indian manufactures , and , during the absence of the aborigines , they always find a suffi : ient nnmber off . travellers to take them at their hi ; cb charges .
I visite . 1 tho fortress at this piece , which is maintained ia tolerible repair , in order to keep the nalivta in check . I ilia Dot ascertain the number of troops stationed , but I U : \ nk there ia not more than 300 or 400 . Ai ;\ was formerly kept in goad repair , upon v . high poiut of laml , but it ia now dismantled end in a st . ito of dilapidation . This is the most-northerly point I have touched . Tho ooun ^ ry appears Weak , and the shores lofty and prominent . Tae town is Email , containing only fire hundred or six hundred inhabitants . The
hou-xs aru ia a flirty and ruined state . The forti-.-ss is on au eniinc-nce cl .. se to ' -the town , anil leading to which-there is a foot-way principally by st ' .-ps . This fortress is built of rough stone , and has a very imposing apvbiirance . A small opace of the plain in front i i enured , / but vnthin a few hundred yards tbe ground is covtrvd with brushwood , so tbat an enemy might approach very close without being perceived . The appearance of the soldiers' was very slwvenly , and every means of defence was far inferior to vrhat is seen iu our British garrisons .
After viewing this place * I visited more of the Indians , and was i .-. uch struck at seeing a child of a pwiuliar shape , it being ; exceedingly short and stout made . A board v . as : affixed to its back , from tee top of which a curious J > ow extend- d which it could take hold of ; it was wvll wrapped in flannel er blanket ; its ftet were also covered , and it seemed te ataud upua a sort of projection . ' - In some of the wt ^ avaa , there were blankets spread upon the giound on wbiGh the inmates sat . They , possess no furniture , no couking utenaila ; aud how they prepared th ir foi . il 1 coulil not conjecture . Tbe only kind of food I saw a ' . fionn thi-m was ti .-h , Their costume waa varied beyond d < ttrij . iii n ; some wore shoes of their own manufacture , wltila others wtiro barefooted . Many had a strange sort of boad-dress , und were adorned vcith etr-r ; ngf . brooches , an : , girdles , which varied in
quality . In the Stato of Now York I had observed tliat many of the female Indians wore around them a piece of broad blue cloth , two or t-wo and a-half yards iu length , having the colourt-. i list upon it as a sort of orDanient : it was net cab or shaped in any way whatever . Here I also saw the same , while others had blaukets wrapped around th « . m . The men seemed proud of wearing netted sabhes , like those worn by eur uiiliV-uy officers ; yet' sjme of them had only old handkorchit-fs , ringed clutb , or u nunUt-script fiort of bandage lied around them . -Souio wire vrhat in .

About ten am . we reached Fort Gratiot , where , leaving the f ^ Ire , we enter the rapids cf St .

It forma a Isrgo river . > * least ttiee quarters of a mile across , having a rn 3 if r . t' ; current . I looked ou ' . on the Ccata . 1 . * side fur the settlement and residence of tus C ;; -: ! y cf juy fcimi friand Captain Jones , who uaforiurm -ly Una been so long detai : > ed in London by harassii s liligation . I felt sovry on accouut of having no person on h :: u \ arqaainttd with the district , and , of coursu , I cou ' . d not obtain thej desired information . ;
At the entrance tothi R'pi'Ja the cUrrcn !; is rather strong and the water bhulin-v , hut very soon it becomes wider , deeper , and more ran- > th .

Th « wood oa the Canada sido was the finebt and the largest . It was principally oak , beech , maple , bicktry , elm , and other hard woods . That on the Micbyan bide was Titmarnck , with Bonie pine and underwood . However , aa we proceeded , it beceme more assimilated to tbat on tbe Canada tide . Several steam saw mills were observable aa we passed alnn £ . The banks w ^ re pretty well cleared of Umber , and there were a goo > l many houses , generally of the log but kind , eoine "miserably small and mean , aud othera of s supericr kind . I saw some Indian habitations on the Car . mia si . io .
There a . rs maty islands as we ndvance t' -w ; ir (' s Lake St . C / in ' r . Tne banks on both sidts here btccme peii \ ct Kiar ^ hrs . rtad the country flat as far as th "" yc enn reach .

Some pans cf the lake are very shallow , nnd vt'tstls often run " ground when approaching the souther ;; i :-:-tretnity .
On c .- « ssing this comparatively small lake and return ing to the V , i , e of rapifls , I had the pleasure to see some neat dwHlir . ^ rs and extensive clearings ; spmefree from Btunips , tho ? e nevetr ' ailing nuisances to the eye , and from which few tracts are free where improvements are being carried oa . \ Tiie same may be said of taetv girdled trees , whtra the bark is all cut away for about three feet from tbe ground . This destroys them by preventing the sap from rising . When dead , and consequently bearing no leaves , they allow the raya of the sun to spread on the ground beneath , and thus give vigour to vegetation . Bat stilt they are tremendous eye-aorea .
On leaving , Lake St . Clair , we pass between two islands , and next approach s larger and more prondnent 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 had passed tbe last mentioned one , we immediately got a view of Detroit , at a very short distance . ' As wa approached the city , We found tho wooden houses become more dense , nnd superior in appearance . Opposite Detboit , on the Canada side , there is a considerable village , v ? ith stycral stores , a iarge hotel , and other good houses .

THE NATIONAL BENEFIT SOCIETY . i THE " DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLE ' versus " DESPOTIC AUTHORITY" [
TO THE CHARTIST PUBLIC . BROTHERS , —Mr . Galpin and myself have joined issue under tbe abovo natoed principJea , upon the question of the kind of authority to be ^ vested in tho chief officers of tbe proposed society for ; &e amelioration of the ^ people generally . ' :- . ' ' , ¦ t& % Galpin urges , in Iifa ; second parsgrnph , thnt the president should be invested w . tti utsliaiited , airbitrary , and despotic authority ; a :. d in paiugraph six , he « ai"sj— I ¦ r- j "In order to preserve ent'ra the nnity of bis own mind , to select the petsuna that are to be associated with bim as a council , and to cLaago them as often aa he fouftd the body imperfect , tbo numl ^ eif also to be at the option of the president . " I
; Those assertions are placed s ' rozjjlv bofove ua indeed —justly plaini and fairly hjild—t \ y . ra enn Ki no mistaking them ; and . | inacknowl >; df ; ii : g Mr . Q . ' s compliment towards myself , expressed in the letter I quote from , I must' say there is mueh to give matpiertsure , both in the spirit and matter of our sociarmtiad ' s Ir , tter 3 ; but iC there is one thing that I am pleased with wore than another , it is tho bold manner in which he pu ' s forth his views , the apparent alspnce of any attempt to mislead hy milder terras than tho su'ojeet warrants . I < au , therefore , the more easily wm ' at his opinions that I deem unsafe ox unsound , au < i cur readers wiil th-3 m ^ re readily nndvrstand us . j
But Mr . G . in the third j-arupfaph , cor . ti-nds that there ia nothing contrary to the >'? . xAgcvzV-z principle in what ha hu 8 laid down , a ^ adtlc , j&etLt-r it > e called despotic , democratrc i CO * by any oHier iaru ? , the thing itself ia not thereby altered . No ^ , I v « vy readily atoit that names do not alter things , and that despotiSm would be despotism , though id were called democratism ; and to simplify the cafp . j ye . T wwUJ ba nay had our forefathers bo ordered it , and it must be remembered , that they aro our ruleij still , ia matters of words , and that we cannot now altfir or ravereo tLs ' r terms , without- ; . g ' reatly inconvenieyeing ourselves anrt the whele world , therefore wo ar-J bound to use their
words according to the rules of vuimnr custom , whare-Tore I submit to you that none of us would now think ef calling the system deniocra ' . ic , j which gives such powers to a single being , and wbit : h Mr . U has property termed despotic . In fuYlher proof 1 th it it is entirely opposed to the Democratic principle , ' I rofer ycu to the eighth paragraph , v ? bere the opinions of the members are limited to the influence of council or sucped'on , to the central president , but no voting t-i tako f >\ z > c » , on a : y subject . The local branches of tko society are to be governed by dittos of the ceuiraligovtrmnent . Thase extracts from Mr . G . ' s propositions i-viJencd J"r >* fc clearly that bh plan , inits details , is eppostd to what we generally understand by , and yhat the English dictionary teaches us , is tl $ ; 'nieauing of the term Djmocracy . 1 ; > j
Having , as I thinfe , established |^ iis point , I now proceed to the question of its effect fand utility in such a society as has been proposed . On this point , M r . Gv-by way ofvtjiastration , has referred to the repeal movement in ' Ifelaud , and the Chartist movement in England , nnd nr ^ es tho superior position of the former over the latter , which he attributes to the oncentrative energy of Mr . O'C _> nnell ' s mind being : easily distributed through every portion of its proceedings . I must here Erst ranund Mr . G . tbat in . tfcis first part of this paragraph , ( the fourth , ) he has described this as p . question ' affecting thB feelings and prtjudices of the ptogffi . Now he must be vfellMiwarel how power , ia are appeals to tbe bt-tter passions to rousa the pc ^ e <> % ar&
into action , and what a bond of union it forms . Toeee reflections induce the question , whether > s it net Mr . O'Connell ' a appeals to thtse feelipgs that products th& effect set forth , rather ihsn t , h « icflu ^ nce of hia roiud Again , Mr . G . does not sho-= v that Mr . O'Connell is prtsident and appoints ^ the Council , nor that such power dots , or would , give bim auy part of that influence . And in computing this agitation with tbe Chaitist , I mii ^ t remind Mr . Q . th ; i , % Jboth have passed through va ; ious pbnses : their upland do > vna . The Beptal has occupied lUi ; peopll of Ireland aud O'Connell for ye'tr . i to ta ! & abcuc aud apitite .
