Friends, Brethren, and Fellow-Countrymen,

... Friends, Brethren, and Fellow-Counlrymen, You have heard a great deal about the cruel treat- Nent which Mr. and Mrs. DEACLE have experienced at the hands of the BARINGS-the self-elected legis- lators.

DOWN WITH THE WHIGS!

... ' DOWN WITH THE WHIGS! Why are you poor? Because you are robbed of the value i of your labour. Is not your right band your own? Of what use is the earth, if it be not tilled ?-or the ore, if it be not smelted.?-or the cotton, if it be not spun? There is scarcely anything in nature of any value till labour has been expended upon it. The value of an article is, therefore, the value of so much ...

Friends, Brethren, and Fellow-Countrymen,

... Friends, Brethreni, and Feliow-Coupirymen, We have taken the above for our motto, and must justify our adoption of it; do we not deserve it? do we not, on all. occasions; seek out the cause of the evil, and suggest a cure for that; rather than waste our time in supplying vain remedies for an endless and inevitable effect? and is it not clear to reason that it is both kind and wise to .do so? ' ...

FOREIGN

... DUTCH, BELGIANS, AND FRANCE. The French army has been received with enthusiasm in Bel- gium, and the Dutch Kiing has ordered his troops to withdraw, so Keting Leopold may amuse himself a little longer with a sceptre and crown-playfbings that cost so much money and blood. With the usual-underhand dealing that is practised by all crowned heads and legitivate governments, there is no knowing what ...

... [To the Poor Man's Guardian,] So sacred with many has become the idea of the respect which is due to individual property, that many look with superstitious dread to any approach to alter the regulations of society respecting it. You have, 1 am aware, received many notices, that you alienate some who would otherwise be your supporters, by exposing its evil tendency to society at large; but so ...

PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS

... House off Lords. A fuss has been made about the Coronation; the wives of the Lords insist on forming part of the ceremony, and on joining in the procession: pray let the poor things have their way, we say; the ground of resistance is economy: it seems, however, that very little of what is paid for out of the public purse is to be dispensed with, while all buch parts as will do most ...
