TORIES AND CHARTISTS.

" Where the carcase i., there will the EAGLES be Lather, d
together." _

Under whatever plausible pretext the Chart-
ist may attempt to justify his recent conduct at
Nottingham, to every reflecting and consisent
Reformer, his coalition with the Tory faction will
appear most " foul, base, and unnatural." View
it in whatever light you may, it still presents
itself in hideous deformity ; and, so far from
being calculated to make proselytes to the cause
of Chartism, will have the effect of deterring
many 'who were otherwise favourable to a very
extended suffrage, from advecdting its adoption,
viewing, froth recent proceedings, what would be
the result if additional power was placed in the
hands of men, whose party have proved them-
selves ignorant or criminal in the exercise of
what they now possess.
It is of no avail the Chartists attempt to screen
their folly under an assumed opposition to the
Poor-law, bad as many of the provisions of that
Bill may be, which provisions it was the earnest
desire of the enlightened Larpent to see revised;
its enactment (saying nothing of its being as
munch a Tory as a Whig measure), is but an
effect produced by causes, upheld, maintained,
and advOcated by the very men their infatuation
has led them to unite themselves with. cr
Who most strenuously and tenaciously Ihilid-
the cruel, fitmishing, unjust system of Corn
laws ? Who imperiously denonneo, ti.om selfish
impulses, freedom of trade and extended com-
merce ? Who riot in luxury and extravagame;
by means of the scanty pittance abstrae.lA from
a toil-worn and suffering people answer, the '
Tory aristocracy of the countpy-=,the men who,
1)7 the assistance of the chartists, have succeeded
in misrepresenting Nottingham, in the person of
the Berkshire apostate.
Itis, I maintain; from the Corn and ProVisioa-
laws, from a restricted commerce, and from the
system of extravagance ever upheld by the Tory
faction, that the present distressed state of our
manufacturing distriets is to be attributed, and
consequently that a system of Pew.la,ws, though
aversive to the indepeOpioe Of 14'nglishmen,
unfortunately VPMA4I94 Iteoessiary. How incon-
*4o, the conduct of that man, who,
while condemning a law, votes for the political
weathercock who advocates the perpetuatiqu of
thole abuses that renders such a law itlerOtAble
And how unprincipled and Jesuitical must that
apostate be who attempts to I),linci the people by
declaiming against ct law., which is the offspring
of the pride, Ottrioc, and selfishness of
_himself
and class,

The Chartists again attempt to vindicate *heir
conduct by pleading the imbecility and. inertness..
of the Whigs. Is it consistent, hecw.;se they can-
not obtain all they demand 'rim those whose dis-
position is to an extensive reform, were
they nat frustrated in their intentions by the A,
lanihropic Tories, to throw themselves ilAto the
arms of those Tories, to hug the chait-k%At ofslavery
forged by them for their ifilmltAue,e, to abjectly
fawn upon the tyrant Op NK.4.4s only his oppor-
tunity to trainOg tii@m under his feet, to pros-
trate themsolves before the enemies to all im-
provement, the supporters of every species (.4
injustice and oppression ? To the Chartist, I
would say, beware of such infatuated conduct.
Can he suppose for a moment that the Tories feel
any sympathy-, qc such an alliance with him, ex-
cepting as a means of advancing their own intG-
rests? Can he doubt but that while they are
making him the stepping-stone to-pifwer, they, at
the same time despise his wisoillammity, and me-
ditate his destrwicsn when that power is attaitwd
Let not Ow Chartist lay the flattering untion to
his soul that his infatuated conduct will secure
the friendship of his avowed citt,p,mies.
Toryism is composed oi different materials to
gratitude and feAearance it may use the ho-
. "eyed Ifpiguage of flattery, but bitter indeed will
be'the. results. Once secure in place, depend upon
it one of their Ara fiCil would be the extirpation
of the Chartists as a party, for however they may
disguise the fact, their hatred to thoku will be sa-
tisfied only by their extinction.
It is therefore idle men posinssing reasoning
faculties to itic,Aci in justification of their misdeeds
enmity to " the Poor-law, and hostility to the
present Adminhiration. Let them ask themselves
first, if they are taking proper means to render
Poor-laws tull'keoe,,ssary by their opposition to the
revert; o'4 principal cause of beggary—the Corn-
-Ivwa l and secondly, whether the suspension of the
liabeaa Corpus, and a return to the palmy days
of Castlereagh, are to be desired in preference
to that progressive reform, those principles of
Civil and Religious Liberty, and those generous
of Toryism,
feeling* towards suffering Ireland, that animates
