" We have not, neither do we desire, leaders; as we believe--
the
principles we advocate have been retarded, injured, or 'be:
trayed by leadership, more than by the open hostilliy of oppo-
nents, Leadership too often generates' confiding bigotry or
political indifference on the one hand, and selfish ambition on
the other. The principles we advocate are those of the
people's happiness, and, to be justly established, each man must
know and feel his rights and duties ; he must be prepared to
guard the one, and perform with cheerfulness the other; and
if nature has given to one man superior faculties to express or
execute the general wish, he only performs his duty at the
msndate of his brethren—he is the leader of none, but the
equal of all.
" Regarding the other assertion, that we have talked of
physical force,' which comes with a mock reproach from him
who has so often boasted of physical force, we are not
going to deny that we have been altogether guiltless of im-
propriety of language, for when the eye dwells on extreme
poverty trampled on by severe oppression, the heart often
forces a language from the tongue which sober reflection
would redeem, and judgment condemn. But we deny that
we are influenced by any other feelings than a desire to see
our institutions peaceably and orderly based upon principles
of justice. We believe that a Parliament composed of the
wise and the good of all classes would devise means of im-
proving the condition of the millions, without injury to the
just interests of the few. 'We feel that unjust interests have
been fostered under an unjust system, that it would be
equally unjust to remove without due precaution, and where
due, individual indemnification. We are as desirous as the
most scrupulous Conservative of protecting all that is good,
wise, and just in our institutions, and to hold as sacred and
secure the domain of the rich and the cottage of the poor.
But we repeat that we seek to effect our object in peace, with
no other force but that of argument and persuasion ; and we
call upon you, as we do upon the wise and good of every class,
to unite with us in our most holy coirpact, the ultimate ob-
ject of which is the freedom and happiness of Britain, and,
through her example, that of the world.
" We call on you to unite with us to cause the principles
of the ' People's Charter' to become the law of these
realms : we think it a just and necessary measure to insure equal
and just legislation. We have been too long engaged in
trifles and expediencies. Millions of our fellow-men rise up
in poverty, and perish in crime, while mock philanthropy,
too regardless of the present, gives promises of hope to future
generations."

" But, fellow-countrymen.—While we are desirous of your
aid we shall not despair without it: our cause is strong in
proportion as it is just, and our numbers will swell in propor-
tion as our enemies oppose us. Our National Petition' may
be indignantly spurned—our Charter at first may Illtiarbut
few supporters, but our second petition will swell in numbers
at the injustice—our energies shall be redoubled at each di-
vision that may be made against us; our third shall embody the
numerical power and mental energy of the kingdom, whose
determination to have justice will increase with each refusal,
till their irresistible resolution can no longer be controuled by
all that power and wealth can purchase.
" These, brethren, are our views, our objects, and deter...
mination ; to carry them forward, we implore the co-operation
of rich and poor, male and female—the sober, the reflecting,
and the industrious : we can spare the drunkard from our
ranks till reflection shall have made him a more worthy morn.
berof society—and strong in the right and justice of our cause,
we invoke the blessing of success. We remain, in union and
friendship, on behalf of our various Associations,

ASPHALTUM.—We are glad to learn that at length
something is to be done to the swamp facing Buckingham Pe-
lace. To our gracious young Queen the spectacle from bee
window of women as well as men and children, often shoeless,
wading through the Buckingham bog, cannot but have been
painful. They have begun to lay down asphalte at the foot of
the Duke of York's Pillar, and will, we hope, carry the path
right along to the Palace.
