perpetrate by law a great system of injustice,
and it is no answer to that charge tosay—though
the assertion may serve to confuse the subject, for
which purpose it seems to be made—that fl-,
manufacturers do not care for their workmen.
Any wrong-doing of the manufacturers will not
justify the landlords in doing wrong. Let them
pull the beam out of their OWTI eye, and then
they may see to pull the note out of the eye of
the manufacturers. Let them abolish the Corn-
laws, and they shall ha ve our cordial and hearty
support in protecting the manufacturing labourers
against being overworked and under-paid, and
against any system of oppression whatever.
Their present conduct in first committing a
grievous wrong, and then in vituperating other
men for some imaginary offence, is turning
society topsy-turvy, and exposing all classes to
the most serious calamities.

We are glad to see that Colonel THompsos in
the North is engaged in the goof:, work of en-
deavouring to rally the Chards"Ls round the stan-
dard" of Corn-law repeal, as means of obtaining
further organic changes. To reconcile the ivork-
-...iaster manufacturers, now
ing classes and the I
suffering under or le common and great calamity
—to unite all R ,;formers in an attempt first to
get rid of th, Corn-laws, is precisely the one
thing needail, and we hope it will be successful.
At a, meeting of the Young Men's Anti-'
Mor,opoly Association, held at Manchester, on
caturday, the Colonel professed he wanted to
obtain the Charter :

He knew (he added) there were those who said, " carry
the Charter, and then we should be able to carry every
thing else." He had already said that the policy of
a skilful General was not to attack the strongest point of
the enemy's fortification, but the weakest. Now he had
some doubt, for that reason, whether they ought to seek
the Charter first. The story that if they got the Char-
ter first they should be able to secure the repeal of the
Corn-laws afterwards, reminded him of a story he used
often to hear when a youth—about the way to catch
birds. The way was by getting near enough to put a
little salt on their tails.—(Laughter.) Now he stood
not there to deny that fact, but simply to ask how they
were to place salt on the bird's tails ?—(Hear, hear.)
That is precisely the point. If the Chartists
will show us how we can put salt on the tails of
the aristocracy, and so catch them and squeeze
the Charter, or any system of good government,
out of them, we will go with the Chartists. The
abolition of the Corn-laws now unites a far
greater body of Reformers in its favour than
any other question, and though that abolition
would not put salt on the tails of the aristocracy,
and hand them over to the Chartists, it would
cripple their wings, and ere long bring them
to the earth. Their ill-gotten wealth is to them
what moisture is said to be to the wings of the
flying fish, which falls back into the water
when the filmy pinion becomes dry. Let us
cut off the source of the arrogant superiority of
the aristocracy, and they will soon learn to be-
have like honest men.

In furtherance of that great union of all Re-
formers which is now so desirable, a meeting is
to be held at Leeds this evening ; Colonel T.
PERRONET THOMPSON, J. A. ROEBUCK, Esq.,
and others, are to be present. The Chartists of
Leeds will, we are assured, promote their object,
for those who now interfere to prevent the suc-
cess of Corn-law repeal are as guilty as the land-
lords, and doom many of the working and dis%
tressed people to starvation and death.

The Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday
have all been received. In Friday's---Thr.;niteur,
we find the following tGlegraPh.:ic despatches
with news from the Spani..2.-
frontier :--
TOULON, OCT. 12.--7;:ne Maritime Prefect to the
Minister of the T.nterior.—A reaction has manifested
itself in 1:-rcelona; the Ayuntamiento and the Pro-
vinet”:. -Deputation have taken possession of power. The
Captain of the Melilagre has sent for the Cerf, which is
at Port Vendres, to assist him in receiving the nume-
rous unhappy persons who take shelter under the French
rERPIGNAN, OCT. 12.—The Prefect of the Eastern
Pyrennees to the Minister of the Interior.—On the 9th
inst., at Barcelona, at the departure of the diligence, the
National Guard under arms demanded arrests and the
demolition of the citadel. It expressed a distrust of the
troops. Many arrests have taken place.
PERPIGNAN, OCT. 13.—The General commanding
the 21st Military Division.to the Minister of War.—The
Constitutionnel of Barcelona of the ilth inst. announces
the departure of Van Helen for Arragon, and his being
replaced, ad interim, by General Zabala. The Junta of
Vigilance, composed of patriots, is installed. Aycrbe
has brought back to Saragossa the 2d regiment of the
Royal Guards. Borso de Carminati has been taken.
BAYONNE,, OCT. 13.—The Sub-Prefect to the Minis-
ter -of the Interior.—The officers of the 2d regiment
of the Guard have only adhered to the submission of
their regiment on condition of passing into France. It
is said that General Barso, who induced them to revolt,
has been hanged. No diligence or courier arrived here
yesterday from Madrid.
The subjoined despatch is from the 11Iorqteur
of Saturday. It is of the same date, from
Bayonne, as the last quoted, and was received
in Paris on Friday evening :
" The Sub-Prefect, to the Minister of the Interior—
No news from Madrid. Yesterday, at two o'clock,
the citadel of Pampeluna ceased firing ; it is reported
that the city has capitulated.
" They are arming at Sebastian,
where it is believed
that Gneral Aleala will shut himself up."

We have numerous and very interesting ac-
counts from Madrid, of the attack on the Palace
on the night of the 7th instant. One of these
will be found in another part of The Sun.
Another states that the insurgents amounted
in all to 1,000, led on by Generals DIEGO
LEON and CONCHA. The defence made by a
handful of Halberdiers was most heroic. The
fighting lasted from eight o'clock in the even-
ing till nearly four o'clock in the morning,
and the battle raged successively in the hall of
the Ambassadors, the Queen's drawing-room,
and up the grand stair-case to the door of the
Queen's bed-room. The cries of the Royal
children as they fled from room to room, con-
ducted by Madame MINA, who covered them
with =Musses to defend them from the balls,

-
,

he is their natural leader or protector.
The mill-owner or manufacturer, far from being
under any such obligation, offers the people of
his own accord employment and wages, and
enables those whom the landlords should pro-
vide for to provide for themselves. The manu-
facturer works himself. and he gets others to
work ; he schemes and contrives how to employ
people profitably, and he has succeeded to a vast
extent. The landowner, as such, only receives
rent, and plays the part of a Magistrate and a
law-maker.
We do not exonerate the manufacturers from
a strong desire to obtain wealth and distinction.
They emulate the landlords, we admit ; but they
do something for their wealth, while the land-
owners do nothing whatever. It is the duty of
the landowners to provide for the poor, but it is
no otherwise the duty of the manufacturers—for
they have done their duty to the people they
employ, when they have honestly paid them their
wages—than ac it is the duty of all men to assist
one another.
Let it be remembered, too, that the land-
owners, who are hound to protect the people,
and who make the laws, have never interposed
in their favour as against the mill-owners, and
only now talk of doing it when their food mono-
poly is attacked. They were for years glad
enough to ship or waggon off their paupers by
wholesale into the manufacturing districts, to
place them at the mercy of these " unfeeling
mill-owners." They passed no law to limit
the hours of working, but they zealously
upheld the Combination, and other similar
laws, by which their paupers were given
bound into the hands of the manufactur-
ing capitalists. After having so grossly ne-
glected their duty, they and their satellites in-
stitute a comparison between them, who are
bound to protect the people, and the manu-
facturers, who are under no such obligation; and,
bringing forward an ornamental cottage or two,
with a school, exclaim, "behold how much more
bountiful we are than the mill-owners." We
know the nature of this boasting; but if they
were all they are described, they would fall—
as the monopolisers of the soil and the re-
ceivers of rent, who are bound to protect the
people, fall—much below their duty.
It is not, however, for us or the public now to
question or settle the relative merits of land-
owners and mill-owners. The great complaint
throughout the country is, that the landlords
