TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.

Sta,—As the Members of both Houses of Parliament
have not speed respecting the cause of the existing distress, and as
the majority of them state that there is no remedy for it exctpt pa.
dente, ad a partial diminution of taxation, which will make no
real darner beyond a very slight temporary Improvement in the
coodkle• of the working classes; I deem it a duty to all parties to
amt to explain the reel cause of the evils under which the coun-
try win, sad the only practical measures by which they can be
remold, and their future tocurranoe prevented. For this purpose.
it Is my initiation to hold a public meeting, on Easter Monday, at
twelve o'clock, in the City of London Tavern, when these subjects
shall be explained, and resolutions will be submitted to the cond.
desertion and decision of the meeting. As, upon this occasion, I
intend to develops the outlines of the edam of society, and of a
new universal system of morals and practice, derived from the laws
of human nature ; I trust the foundation will then be laid for a
great moral, political, and commercial revolution throughout the
civilized world, effected without violence, and perfected by universal
consent.
