LORD JOHN'S WITH US!
NO BREAD TAX—NO FAMINE PRICES !
. .
present
Prime Observation and experience (says Lord John Russell, the
Prime Minister of England, in November last,) have convinced me
that we ought to abstain ;rem all interference with the supply of
food. Neither a Government, nor a Legislature, can ever regulate
the Corn Market with the beneficial effects which the entire freedom
of sale and purchase are sure of themselves to produce. Let us then
unite to put an end to a system which has been proved to be the,
blight of commerce, the bane of agriculture, the source of bitter di-
visions among classes, the cause of penury, fever, mortality, and
crime, among the people. But if this end is to be achieved, it must.
be gained by the unequivocal expression of the public voice. The
Government appear to be waiting for some excuse to give up the
present Corn-law. Let the people by petition, by address, remon-
strance, afford the Government the excuse they seek. Indecision
and procrastinatlon may produce a state of suffering which it is
.rightful to contemplate."—Vide Lord John Russell's Letter, Novem-
ber 22d.
