ine ,Citable John Russell with an examination oil
chat this Democracy is, viz, the growth oil
wealth. of the intellect of this wealth, AMI o. ITS
claims to influence Government through pubic
opinion and through legal organs. Thus, then,
Democracy is nothing but the claims OF the
Bourgeoisie, the Industrious and commercial
middle class Lord Derby stands up as the OPP
ponent. Lord John Russell volunteers as the
standard-bearer of this Democracy. Both OF
them agree in the implicit confession, that the
ancient feuds within their own class, the aristoc-
racy. are no longer OF any interest 70 the coan-
try. And Russell is quite prepared TO drop the
name of Wing for that of Democrat, if this be
the condaio siae qua non for turning hrs oppo-
nents out. The Wings, in this case, would In
fact continue TO play the same part, and appear
officially as the servants OF the middle class
Thus, Russel's plan of party Reorganization
is confined TO the adoption OF new party
name. =.
Joseph Hume, too, considers the formation OF
new peoples party" necessity. But nc
Saws thai ON tenant-right and similar PROPOSE
tons il cannot be formed. " On these matters
Won could not muster hundred out OF the oil
members TO unite" What then, Is his nos

And while the movement must begin with lew MI
ydusl members OF the House Of Commons, II cannot
succeed until the people out OF doors and he eiect0Ts
shall see the ueces tv of doing their part ana OF giving
SUI port TO the small party Of the people in Parlaui M
This same Hume was one of the drawers-up
of the Peoples Charter. From the Peoples
Charter and it, six points, he retreated 70 the
little Charter Of the Financial and Parlia-
mentary Relormers with only three points, and
now We see him reduced to one point, the bal
lot. What success be promises 10 himself from
his Few nostrum, he will tell us himself IN the
concluding words of his letter 20 The HMh Id
reriser:
Tell me low msny editors viii risk to give their
support 10 party ths as Parliament u now comp0-ed

ballot, it viii, by its own confession, never sue

party OF impotence, and of openly confessed lui-

Next 10 Joseph Hume, there is another at
TENT made for the creation OF a new party.
Ills il the sO-called national paHy. Instead Oh
the Peoples Charter, this party would max ,

Now. what cannot but be evident to every one
in al these miserable compromises and backSil-
dinas, these huntings alter weakly expediency,
these vacillatiOns and quackaoStrG, Is TINS -
Catiline is al the gates of the city, decisive
struggle is drawing near, the opposition knows
its unpolulaiity, its incapacity for resistance,
and all the attempts at the formation OF new
centres of defence agree in one point only, IN
a going backwards policy" The National
Party retreats fiom the Charter TO General
Suffrage, Joe Hume from General Suffrage 70

zston of electoral districts, and so forth until
at lattEe arrive at Johnny Russell, who has
nothn q to give out for battle cry but the mere
name 0f democracy. Lord }. Russell's Demo
cracy would be, practically speaking, the ultima
tum of the National Party, of Hume's " PeO-
PIES parry" aud OF all the other party shams,
If any one of them had anything like vitality
about il.
But on one hand, the political flaccidity aud
Indifference consequent upon period OF mate
rial prosperity, OIL the other hand the conviction
that nevertheless the Tories are menacng mis-
cLief.-on one hand the certainty on the part
OF the Bourgeois leaders that they will very soon
require tie people TO back them, on the other
hand the knowledge acquired by some popular
eadcrs that the people are too ind0lent 10 ere
ate for tie moment, q movement Oh thelr own
all these circumstances produce the phehoine-
non that parties attempt TO make themselves
acceptable TO each other, and that the different
fractions Of the opposition out OF parliament at
tempt union by making to each other conces-
siops frontbe most advanced faction downwards
until at last they again arrive at what Lord j.
Russell is pleased 10 call democracy.
OF the attempts at creating selfstyled ma
tional Party" Ernest Jones justly REMARKS:

And A. G. Gammage, ore of the members OF
the Char,ist Executive, thus addresses the
people:
