‘1•ISIV ZEALAND MEETING'iT

GLASGOW.

•
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
have just seen your article in last Saturday s
f,",on the subject of the meeting held in the Justiciary
`Jourt Hall here, on the evening of the 30th ult.
l
Iv 44 various particulars of your statement you are
iz,
"PI, and I request I may be allowed to put you right.
.ti.ens "t• The meeting was not a public meeting of the
l
of Glasgow. It was a meeting specially called
o ' all friendly to emigation to New Zealand" only.
(1. The object was to memoralise Lord John Rus-
',ell for free passages to New Zealand, out of the funds
te
Zealand,
or to be derived from the sale of lands in New
and not for a grant of public money, as you
represent.

38.
The meeting was at the instance of the Glasgow
dew Zealand Emigration Society, the members of
Which are working men, not able to defray their own
Passages, and who prefer emigrating to New Zealand,
Where labour is scarce, and in great demand, to remain-
ing at home and running the risk of sinking into pau-
perism, and becoming a burden on the parish poor's fund.
Whatever may be the cause of the state of things in this
country, whether political or not, on what principle has any
political party a right to interfere with those who think
they will better their circumstances by emigration, and
to obstruct the measures they wish to adopt for gaining
their object ? The conduct of the Chartists, on the occa-
&ion in question, was an act of gross impertinence ; it
Was worse, it was a piece of democratic tyranny, as in-
.-tonsistent with those professions of love pf liberty which
the Chartists delight in, as can possibly be imagined.
, The cause of colonization is making rapid progress,
the estimation even of the Chartists. The result of
the meeting in the Justiciary Hall has not put an end
t
emigration meetings in Glasgow, or the west of Scot-
lan
('• There is to be a great meeting in the Town Hall
u:hroorrow at which the Chartists, I warrant you, will
net
venture to interfere. At the New Zealand meet-
VC the leading Chartists of Glasgow—Moir, Purcie:
BmM—did not interfere nor take part.
ol°
Contrary, they
disapproved of the conduct of their
Party. -
The question of colonizition is not understood, not
"'Y by the working men of the country, but by many
°I our Legislators and others, who might know better.
',l,,‘'.,knawledge of it is speading, however, every day ;
• the more that is known of it, the less will it be seen
to 11"
be subject to those exceptions which you join with
the Chartist orators in attributing to it.
I wish only we bad some man with the genius of Sir
. "alter Raleigh, in her Majesty's Councils, at the pre-
, sent day, to take advantage of the spirit of colonization
Which prevails throughout the country. What mighty
„rn enieveents might then be accomplished ! Greater
far'l and more glorious than any ever effected in war. In
way of colonization the energies of the country
•ould now be directed, and the reign of Victoria made
I' renowned as that of El;zabeth was in the annals of
Britain and of the world.—l am, Sir, your's, &c.
A COLONISER.

Glasgow, Dec. 8, 1840.
[We must remind our Correspondent, both as regards
the.they took
and ourselves, that the objection which
took. was not to emigration, but to asking for
Public money to emigrate ; which will, in bet, be
.441 d by those who stay at home. We, like the Char-
, 1 -1!)ts, object to the State interfering with emigration,
4r3d think that it would be better if the people went to
tke united States, or wherever they like, of their own
free will, and were not influenced to go to a much
greater cibtance by Government bounties or rapacious
