CHARTIST INTERRUPTION Al
PUBLIC MEETINGS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sir—ln The Sun of Tuesday the 6th inst. appeared a
letter from " An Anglo-Saxon," wherein after referring
to the advice given by some " faint-hearted \Vhig jour-
nals," which recommended the League to incur no
inore mortifying defeats from the Chartists by holding
public meetings, the writer proceeds to say (without
leach apparent gratitude for the above-mentioned ad-
ice, has recently proved so beneficial at the
Crown and Anchor Meeting), " I always prefer stand-
ng by my own rights to leaving them in the keeping of
Chartists, Whigs, or any other party," to which sen-
tence I say Amen, and that is the reason why I have
fared to assert my rights, which are contained in the
People's Charter (and nothing less).
Your Correspondent may possibly be in possession of
Jibe considers himself entitled to, with the exception
of the supposed benefits to be derived by a repeal of
the Corn-laws ;if so, he may be excused the inconsis-
tency of pursuing an object which, if obtained, may
put him in full possession of what he may consider his
rights, although it would not place the working classes
in the same position, who are not in possession of those
rights which a repeal of the Corn-laws would not give.
Your Correspondent further states it to be a question,
whether " public meetings upon important subjects can
be held legally, peaceably, and with effect ?" and an
swers the question in the affirmative. And Ido the
same. And dare assert that in nine cases out of ten,
where anything occurs to interrupt the peace of a
ineeting, it is caused by the parties conducting the same
acting contrary to the sense of such meeting.
The next part of the letter which attracts my atten-
tion in 1 articular is where reference is made to " the
machinery existing in every municipal borough, calcu-
lated and expressly designed for the decorous holding
of public meetings."
Now, Sir, it requires no conjecturing to ascertain
what is meant by the machinery above mentioned, for
the writer says the Mayor has " the entire police force
in his hands and the military power also, and what are
these for except to protect us in the peaceable enjoy-
ment of our rights;" Ah, there he lets the cat out of
the bag at once, and what is meant by " to protect us
in the peaceable enjoyment of our rights," means nothing
less than the exercise of the physical powers of the
machinery to enable the middle classes to hold public
meetings (query, could the writer not substitute some
other name than public, more suitable to his designs?),
to the exclusion of the working classes, or such of them
as dare to differ with them in opinion. And this ma-
chinery is intended to suppress public opinion, by the
writer's showing ; fur it is difficult to read the last
quoted words, without placing a marked emphasis on
the words " us" and " our," where he asks what are
these for (the police and the military), but to protect us
in the peaceable enjoyment of our rights?" Tnc work-
ing classes have long been aware of that—Peterloo,
to wit—where an attempt was made to suppress
the expression of public opinion vi et armia. But
I fear I shall trespass on your time, by follow-
ing the writer through his trely aristocratical
letter ; suffice it to call public attention to
its perusal. Yet I cannot conclude without re-
ferring to the following example. Tee -writer says,
" Let us suppose the meeting were called to consider
the propriety of petitioning Parliament for the total
and immediate repeal of the Corn and Provision-laws,
and that a person moved a resolution in favour of the
Charter." Welt, suppose they did, what then ? Why,
in comes the police and turns them out (" and all who
back them"), if they are able ; if not, the military must
do the job, according to the writer's statement of their
intended utility ; and this is what we pay so many
millions for. Now, let u suppose that an amendment
to the following effect were propose:l on a resolution in
favour of a repeal of the Corn-laws :—" That this
meeting is of opinion that the repeal of the Corn-
laws would not confer on the industrious classes of this
country those benefits which have been so long with.
held from them, in consequence of the interwoven
system of taxation, and the concomitant evils thereof.
And this meeting is further of opinion that it would
be a waste of time to petition the Commons' House of
Parliament, as at present constituted, for that purpose ;
acrd that the only way of obtaining a repeal of those bad
laws, which have been concocted and matured by a
class legislation, is to cause the People's Charter to be-
come the law of the land." Now, Sir, is there anything
irrelevant in such an amendment as this ? And why
should the Mayor presiding, or any other chairman, re-
fuse to put it to the meeting ? Your Correspondent,
with his " Police and Army," could not justify such a
proceeding.
A few words about " a certain Irish gentleman, now
in York Castle," and I have done. There is, lam
sorry to say, a certain Irish gentleman now in York
Castle. Taut pis—but that gentleman, though much
esteemed and confided in, could not lead the people for-
ward like a bull at a gate, but only so long and so far
as he followed the chart drawn up for his guidance.
I am, Si;, your obedient servant,
J. RAINSLEY.

RAILWAY TRAVELLING.

TO THE EDITOR OF TEE SUN.

Slaf-Knowing that your invaluable columns are
always open to expose anything in the shape of imposi-
tion, I am induced to lay the following before you, trust-
ing, for the good of the public, you will insert it :—On
Sunday week I was unexpectedly sent. for to Kingston-
on-Thames ; consequently I went down to the South-
ampton Railway at Nine Elms, arrived there about
twenty-five minutes to eleven, and found the train just
started, I then inquired, and found there was no train
mail five in the afternoon (with the exception of the
goods train at twelve); as it was of importance for me
t., be at my journey's end as soon as possible, I made up
my mina to go with that. I repaired to the office to
book my place. I put down Is. 6d., the regular fare.
" Oh, sir," replied the Clerk, "by this train it is 2s. 6d."
" Why so," I asked. " I don't know how it is, but the fare
is 2s. 6d." Now this contains open trucks for passen-
prs, not at all sheltered from the rain,—besides, being
close to the engine it smothers you by the filth, and is
altogether a miserable conveyance, and yet 2s. 6d. is to
be dragged from your pocket, and what I complain of is
that nothing of the sort is stated in the list of fares ; in
tact, to Kingston, it is not stated at all ; if the Company
intend to have that fare why not name it in the printed
list as the other fares are ? I have travelled by all the
lines, and the Southampton is the worst conducted line
of all. I sincerely hope you will insert this, as it will
put the public on their guard,
I remain your obedient servant,
London, April 4, 1841. FAIR PLAY.
