OWEN'S REPLY TO THE SPEECH OF THE. CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER, ON SIR WILLIAM DE ORES. PIGNY'S MOFION IN THE HOUSE OF COM MONS, I 6 DECEMBER, ISM Ste—The speech which you delivered in the House of Cointisons, in reply to Sir William de Crespigity's motion for the appointment of* a Com mittee to investigate a Pion which I had to propose for the Relief of the distressed Working Classes, may probably lead to comequences of the deepest interest to the well-being of mankind. Our ultimate object is, I believe. the same ; that is, to ameliorate the condition of society, on Pound and rational system—on principles that will bear the test of the most severe scrutiny. although opposed by all the prejudices of localities. Rot, that I may be the better understood on this important subject, I will rodeitrour briefly to ex plain what I mean by the word localities, as it will so frequently occur in this Letter. Under this term I include the opinions end prin ciples, partly true and partly false. which e ve r y in dividual imbibes. according to the country. climate, government, mind rel.gion—clino, sect. and party. under or iii which he was educated, at that period' when the youthful d is utterly incapable of ra tionally exercising the power of volition, or to whose influences he may have become in riper years. from venous accidental, yet perks lilt uncoutrolable causes, more or less subjected.

With hint, the Majesty of the People is a iloetriue not less eacred, than with a Chiuese it would be tiessonable, if not blomolietnoos.

You, Sir, .1.1.11 y subjected, to this great law of nature, having Item yourself equally surrounded by Ismaili I •ceilities from infairct, which have impressed • caw emboli o u your mind * Ilse; men C4ll be Glade bettor and lesopier thaw they have yet been. solely by dry adoption of certain seiitirastils„ which you have hero forced to believe are true, by the localities in which you happen to have been born and instructed.. View ing, as you do, through the medium of these peculiar localities, the principles which I hove promolgsted, you pronounce them to be subversive of the laws and religion of this country ; aril by so doing, you endeavour to arouse all the prejudices of British lo calities against me, and indispose men's minds to consider the g ood which I labour to obtain for them. I blame von toit for this conduct, fur I am quite sure that your ii.tentions are pure and excellent. Yet it appears to me to be a duty to persevere. and to en. demvour to overcome these prejudices of localities, which obstruct the path to true and subst.iiiiial happiness. By.my rrimirks, I would not willingly offend you or any one; but, placed as I win, by your obtervatious, before the ryes of the world, and at a period too whets that world, by our present pro ceedings, must be rendered either more mimrahle Or more happy than it has tet been, I Wild a full declaration of troth, as it is impressed ois my mind, to he at the present period a duly parent to every personal consideration. The principles which I advocate have become so public, and are making purls rapid progress through society, notwithstand ing a vote and temporary prejudice in the (louse of C that if they are erroneous, their error sl Id be instantly proved, and if my judgment has been misled with re.pect to these priticipler, there can be no individual more sincerely desirous of being set right than I am ; sod I pubh,h this letter to bring the subject to a fair issue. You have said, that the principles which I have publicly avowed are subversive of the Government and Res !igloo of the country. It never was, Sir, my intro. firm to injure the Government and Religion solider which we live ; my object has been to withdraw from both that which appeared to me to be their defects and errors, and to withdraw them. not by coercion and viiilenee, but gradually auci temper ately. under the direction of the Goveriuneut and the Church. It is wow nearly seven years since I distinctly saw the necessity for this change, end since I openly and fairly communicated these sentiments, without re serve, to the hands of the Church—to our own Go vernment—and to other Governments. I then re ceived encouragement from the►e parties to proceed in the course which I had consmenced. and to this hour I have not deviated from it. Yet, if I am wrong, I willingly take to miself whatever blame attaches to these procerdings,since they have arisen from a thorough conviction of the truth of the-prin ciples on which they are founded—that conviction still more confirmed by the favourable decision of the mo►t acute and profound minds in this country and in Europe; and also from a conviction of the multiplied benefits that will arise f►om their adop tion in practice, both to the governors and go. I will now submit the csuseof difference between tie, to our couistry and to the world. Nay. Sir, so strong it my conviction of the truth of the principles on which 1 acj i that prejudiced as I know you are. by the localstin of your birth, education. and office in the State, I could almost leave the decision to your cool and deliberate judgment, and allow you to hr judge its your own cause. The principles and practice which I propose far arlopti 111 l , insist , however. be tried by those whose prejudices, from their localities. must be directly in your farmer ; and against such almost invincible prejudices nothing but truth, devoid of all error, con have the sliglite.t chance of success; awl I an ticipate success solely on this ground. The defects then, Sir, of our government. as they appear to me, are those which more Mame- diotely or remotely proceed from a single erroneous principle. It is true it is an error of ancient date. which has, according to existing records. entwined , itself around every government and religion hitherto known to exist ; and it was therefore that I publicly avowed, " that I was not of any re !igloo hitherto Wight in the world ;" b. cause they all CallialllCCl much, yrs, very much error. Tell me honestly, Sir, do you believe me to be an enemy to any part of inosekiud, because I am anxious to bring wider review that which appears, to a conscientious mini, to be an error productive of no good froit m practice. but of incalculable evil and misery ? You. surely, will not condemn any one for so acting.—ls not your oppwition to hem who 'pow adpires-es you, founded oil the very :sour nrincipl.• I The error, then, which 1 Jlll com pelled, by a strict adherence to truth, to lament in our government. is that part of it which presumes that the character of the individual is formed by himself. Tin* error is, iu the first place, in direct oppoastion to all the facts of which we possess any accurate kirowledgr—st is also in direct opposition to some of the wiiiciples, and to the best part of the relogimi, which is the law of this land—and it is the cause of the inconsistencies, visible to all, In ties conduct of those who profess to be governed by that 'diem ; it is the sees cause why these ism priweiules of waivers/I charity' acid hersevw knee, with whiehut atreawds, have rem beta mete in practice.

There same localities, Sir, prevent your seeing the truth, and practical benefits of the truth, " that the cha racter of every human being is. in all its parts, formed for him ;" that the waist of this know. ledge on the part of those who govern the world, .hone retards the adoption of a system of peers,- tarot founded on principles of science, which would unerringly prevent the existeuse of those crimes which hitherto it his been the chief basilica, of the world to detect and punish.

But it is to the cousequenees of the great truth. 4 ' that man does not ATM his nuns character," that I would direct your close and pro. found attention, since it is from a superficial exist initiation of the consequences of that doctrine, that so many well.intentitniell (ft hive been at fitst repelled from it ; whereas massy of the most ami. ble sod intelligent of my early opposers stow pub. licly acknowledge, that they ',derive nothing but ultinitigled good in the consequences of this once appalling doctrine. May I be permitted then to edit, that by your acts of comniission, or omission, you, as one of the Members of the Government, may justly be and to be one of the nitioceitt, yet rerun', occasions of the poverty, crime, and suffering. which uoteitilltvg the population of these kingdoms; for, ou an ex. perience which Ho other individual has been per. milted to attain.
