SIR R. PE

EL AND THE FACTORY SYSTEM

(From Mr. Oastler's Fleet Papers.)
I told you that I feared Sir Robert Peel
with the real character of the working

) been Sir It obert Peel's habit not to receive the de-
ns of working men, when they waited upon him, but
custom was to require them to state their views in

t Sir Robert Peel has received a deputation of work-
from the Short-time Committees of Lancashire ;
•mtiently listened to them, whilst they rehearsed
',le condition of the factory workers, whilst

listened to them with marked attention, and
d to those working men his approval of the very pro-
able manner in which they bad described the suffer-
their clients, and pointed out their causes and reme-
Sir Robert Peel assured the deputation that " he was
~ressed with the very great importance of their

'- colleagues would devote their most seri-
stion, with a view to the happiness
Jeln4 of those concerned." The deputation did
to impress upon the Premier the close connexion
.ire is between the factory system and the new poor-
how the latter was calculated to oppress and add to
:rings of those who are engaged in the former.
, this is as it should be. The government and the work-
sses are no longer strangers. The truth has been told
:king men to her majesty's ministers. There was no
n Chadwick, no Muggeridge, intervening to mar their
or to suppress their evidence. I know what effect has
produced on the minds of the working men by that in-
ew—l guess what impression has been made upon that
ie premier. No man can come into close contact with
orking men of England without loving them. It is the
of idle cormorants of commissioners, their assistants,
ecretar:es, who have lived upon traducing the working
es, and who have ruined their patrons, the Whig govern-
(who listened to their lies, and acted upon their sugges-
,—it is those despicable hangers-on, who have, by de..
