THE OASTLER TESTIMONIAL.
Trustees.
The Rt. Hon. Lord Feversham John Fielden, Esq., M.P.
Sir George Sinclair, Bart. W. Busfield Ferrand, Esq.,
John Walter, Esq. M.P.

. .
Honorary Secretary—Mr. William Atkinson.
r HE object contemplated by the supporters of this fund
1 is that of providing for the well-known advocate of
public rights, Mr. RICHARD OASTLER, and his family.
Having been impressed very early in life with the extreine
importance of those principles which conduce to the general
welfare of society, and encouraging constantly in hiernind a
feeling hostile to every infraction of those principles, Mr.
Oastler became a strenuous supporter of the cause of the
weak and the oppressed, as well as an arden ponent of all
who attempted to exercise injustice and cr
_.,_
le
The sphere of his private duties being e great manufac-
turing districts of England, Mr. Oastler's sympathies were
necessarily excited by the sufferings of children of tender
years who were employed in the manufactories, and the ener-
gies of his mind were directed to the great question of legis-
lative regulation of factory labour. To all who have exerted
themselves in this interesting and momentous question, Mr.
Oastler has given the most efficient support ; and those who
have watched the progress of the subject are gratified by
knowing that the question having obtained the sanction of
the legislature of Great Britain, has also been adopted in
France, Prussia, Austria, Russia, Switzerland, and a part of
the United States of America. Mr. Oastler, as is well known,
has also contended for a just and humane system of Poor
Laws ; and his advocacy of the great and sacred principle
upon which all Poor Laws should be founded, in contradis-
tinction to the modern attempt to innovate and encroach
upon the constitutional right of the poor to relief, may be
characterised as strenuous, constant, and most successful.
Although the advocacy of the great public questions before
mentioned has placed Mr. Oastler in the position of an in-
fluential supporter of popular rights, yet he has not attempt-
ed either to increase or to uphold his influence by appealing
or yielding to the selfish passions of any section of the com-
munity ; but he has boldly and emphatically, and often in
the midst of great personal danger, denounced oppression
and injustice in whatever quarter they appeared to him to
originate, whether it was in the case of the rich against the
poor, or in that of the poor against the rich, his object being
to instil into the minds of the whole people the great truth
of RELATIVE duties, and the paramount necessity of fulfil-
ling them ; the source from which he has derived his know-
ledge of those duties being the will of God, as revealed to
mankind in the Holy Scriptures.
.

Thus Mr. Oastler's constant endeavour has been to main-
tain the principles upon which the British Constitution is
founded ; uniting the monarchy, the aristocracy, and the
entire body of the people in a mutual and just support of
each other, that bond of union being the Church of Christ.
It will not excite surprise, that, seeing systematic tyranny
and cruelty practised upon the most helpless of our race in
the extent to which Mr. Oastler has witnessed it, be should
have been driven, by the enthusiastic ardour of his nature,
to utter expressions which those who have not been similarly,
circumstanced might well condemn ; but on this point he
has been the subject of much misrepresentation, and also of
much wilful detraction; notwithstanding which he has con-
tinued in an undeviating course of public duty, not permit-
ting his exertions to sustain the least check on account of
opposition and difficulties which would have overwhelmed
most men. One very important fact, chewing the true and
valuable nature of his services, should here be mentioned,
which is, that those who have been so placed as to be best
acquainted with his motives and his proceedings, have proved
themselves to be his warmest and most constant public suP:
porters, as well as his private friends, amongst whom aT,
be reckoned proprietors of some of the largest factories I"
the kingdom.
' The great efforts which Mr. Oastler has made f°l. his
eavours
of private interest have ever restrained him in his F t_. This
country, have, however, cost him much. No considerationstid
to fulfil that which he conceived to be his public la:
ate of a
great, benevolent, and patriotic man is now the
ftbose admire-
debtors' prison ; debarred the full exercise
of adapted to
ble faculties of mind and body which are so..eraily. A moat
