The following further letters have_pmeed between

wants and what would be of substantial use to them.
I want to we the labourer a free and happy 'Pilsen of

V's if you are sincere, ad I believe, in what poi eay,
that pin want to see the lake tier free mid happy, the
lest thing which Minn la. !loon by all latelownPre is
to let the labourer,' their cottag, independent id the
farmer or employer, for until diet la done Ihe
labourer .6nm-it be free, as lie rennet poraibly oell his
labour at the brit market and get the hill value ler the
same. Then let him have a. neich land as home' his
family ran cultivate properly at the same pries as it in
let to the farmer, awl when any industrieue veneerer-
ing man can et null lent capital to take 1(1, 90,,' 30
acres let him have them. Thin weidd ten • lone way
ao renew,' the depreseion which now paid', as it in my
npinion that if the land was properly tilled it would
enelues double what it deem now, and there would be
so men out with. Every man that hail 20 acre, of
land calif then provide • man and horse for the
yeomanry cavalry, and en provide for the defence of
our country. Then Mr. Stun or Mr. Portnun could
he captains over hundieds instead of tens as at present.
la the next place! my lord, you charge me with
being's violent politician. I am lorry you think No,
and I mak your lordship to Trona out anything
violent in my letters, or in the addresses I have
delivered. I have held aleon 90 meetings in I)oreet
and Wilts in the last pis months, and have addressed
about 12,000 persons. Neldelnen, gentlemen, parsons
and farmers have been at aims of those meetings :
but I have never been charged with using violent
language. When Mr. Farepausnion advocated a Ces.
tax on corn the other day I thought it cruel and
wicked. hut did I use violent language ? No I
What did Ido ? There was jest at that time a large
meeting held in the Town Hall at Blandford, and
this is • copy of the resolution that I moved and it
was !seconded by Mr. Palmer and carried unanimously:
That in the opinion of this meeting any person
wishing to bring back the deetitution, poverty, and
dieing,s of l'retection meet be actuated by Satanic'
inflinence,; and that the Chairman be requested to
write hi. the Rev. Los Warner, of Gunvilfe, ar,tria
him to have special prayers offered in the r
church on behalf of Mr. Farquharson, until he shall
(like one of old) be sitting clothed and In his right
mind." Ie there anything violent in that, my Lord?
As regarde the Household Suffrage panned in
'O7, I say that the pulling down of the park railinngs
had • great deal to do with the peening of that Bi.
and the I.bourere. Union hen played an important
tart in the panning of tn. present Franchise
Bill. You say that the l'ortmans hate Mr. Chamber.
lain ! Can your Lordship give me a proof of this,
and, If a., for what reason do they hate him
know that lord Salisbury, Lent It. Churchill, and
other Tering do li•to Mr. Chenileerlain, and if they
had the reiwer would enmity him for aught I
know. If I road my Bible aright, hind that all
good men in all Agee of the wo ha rld ve been pet.,
celled more or lees. .Teeeph wee hated by hie
brethren and ultimately ',old into Ferypt, but cod
was with him, and thesigh divine providence he
became the savioer ef the Egyptiann end hie own
brethren ; he ale, became Prime Minister of the land
of Egypt. Although the Tories or Whip; may hate
or persecute, depend on this that our Joseph will, by
divine IKOVIdrOCO. become the savi ~,, r and l'rime
Minister of this country by the righteoue laws which
will be pureed by him or hie colleague* sooner or
later. My penitent prayer to God is that Mr..loneph
Chamberlain may be protected by divine power and
defended by the artnx of Onnniiotence, and that on the
flag of old England may be inscribed —" Glory to God
in the higheet, :space on earth, tower !a men."
—Yount faithfully,
To Lord Alinicton.
