Ay form the House of Peers, and

a large 1 najority of the other House. When the wants._
facturers are attacked in the Legislature, they are at-
tacked a s individuals.; when the landlords are attacked,
it is as .gislators.

The c: barge against the manufacturers is, that they
are crw 31 to their workmen, extortioners, kiraves, and
Oolatori 3of the law. All these are offences for which
thC law prescribes, or undertakes- to prescribe, punish-
duof thted befe

they m ••e cruel to their tenantry and workmen, though
they are obnoxious to the charge. It is not said L hat
they art individually extortioners, knaves, and vl'o-
'
lators of the law, though they are just as open :to
such accus rations as other men ; but they are pub-
licly accus, in the Legislature, and by the Press,,,
there being no other tribunal than public opiniom
to which an a peal lies, of prostituting, to enrich them--
selves, the povk •er with which they are entrusted to pro-
vide for the gene.val welfare.
To that charge .no denial has been or can be given.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL admitted it, when he admitted that
they .had a bias ; in fact the charge is confirmed by
every page of human nature. Those who are entrusted
with power ever have ass:tined, and ever will assume
(they catmot avoid it) that their own interest is coin-
cident with that of the public, and with a view to their own
interest alone they have made laws. That is the great
fact in the landlords' legislative capacity,
Nc,hich the
League justly denounces the bitter fruits of ich we
are now tasting, and not any facts in their private cha-
racter, or in their relations of man to man.

- - ,
the bulk of the landlords have on this matter, we
a different standard of morality, from the bulk ,of
the pe„.ole;which accounts for the difference of language..
Their sta. ndard is what the law has hitherto prescribed ;
the penis) udge it by a vague notion, perhaps, of natural
right and jos, ice. The landlords look to practice and
precedent—the people to precept and principle. In this
-lative power has long been in the
country the leg's:.
L
hands of one class. It was much more so formerly than
'mulk of the people were quite dis"
at present, when the of the laws were made
regarded, and the majt. sof one class.
property, and notably
elusively for the advantag.
`
For example, the protectie.l
landed property, has for ages been the great object of
the law, and the protection of it,:dustry or labour, as
contradistinguished from property, has been an amazingly
inferior care of the Legislature. Th:, Inimie of the
bulk of the landlords are fashioned on that klanderir
and they think that they do no wrong if they atihere to
the precedentS of former Legislatures. While the people,
growing in knowledge, reject these precedents, anid, as-
suming a higher standard, call on the Legislature to do
that which is naturally just and right, the landlords;
persist, in spite of the growing knowledge of mankind,.
;n adhering to old. precedents of wrong, done, perhaps,
in ignorance ; and therefore it is that the press and the
people stigmatize them in their legislative capacity as
unjust, as wrong-doers, And as extortioners by means of
the law.
The Legislature, it ought to be remembered, Is consti-
tuted to protect the rights of she bulk of the people, and not
to protect the rights of the landlords, or what they think
, their rights. It is not to protect property, exclusively,
but industry also. It is to protect the rights of the litany,
or what the many regard and claim as their rights. Its
•
chief end and aim—the very object for winch it exists--
is the satisfaction of the people, and if it effect not tha ,
it has no longer a just claim to exist. Th;s is so tru
that it derives all its authority from the consent of the
people, and when they boldly withhold their consent
it must cease to be. The landlords, as Legislators., chal-
lenge our obedience ; the manufacturers petr,:ue their
calling like other men, and challenge no obediene
while the press and the League, are justified in answei
-tog
the challenge of the landlords by pointing out ay. 'lr
wrong doing, nobody is justified in attacking individox
manufacturers in the House of Commons and in the.

public papers.
We thought Mr. COBDEN put the matter on, a right
footing last night in the House of Commons, when he
objected even to defending himself in that Home
from charges brought against him as a man. The Courts
of Law, and not the House of Commons, are the tribttf-
nals to investigate charges of fraud and cruelty against
individuals. At the same time Mr. COBDEN in his owls
behalf, and Mr. VILLIERS in behalf of the League, gave•
a solemn and direct denial to Mr. FEnnAND's charges.
The House was convinced of the justice of the vindica-
tion, and we believe the author of the unfounded charge,
will in future, notwithstanding the encouragement of the
aged counsellors beneath—notwithstanding the appro-
bation of the Ministers of the Crown, and the represen-
tative of the Church, be much more sparing of is
vituperation.

We received last night the Dutch and Flanders Mails
w:th news up to the 2d inst. According to the accounts
from Brussels, preparations are going on for the trial of
the conspirators, but the process is so slow that the re-
sult may not be received before another conspiracy
breaks out. The Dutch Papers state that the finances
of Prussia are in a most prosperous condition. If this
be a matter of fact, Prussia stands alone, for all other
Continental States are at their wit's end to find. ways

and means.
