people shows that it was another case of {" great
cry and little WOOL" Such an alliance was pro-
posed by Mr.. Scott Russell, who has prudently
absented himself on the continent, from whence
lie can watch the storm he has raised, but in
whose behalf he was acting has not appeared.
The action Of the council of workingmen who
were parties to the negotiation has been repu-
dated at meeting Of representative working
men, as heretofore stated in TIE STAR; and the
tory lords, severely lectured by the London Times
for coquetting with workngmens associations
seem TO be ashamed of the part they intended to
play. They never agreed anyhow, it appears,
to do anything more than have general and
patriarchal oversight OF the welfare of the la
boring men, as they understood it. They ex-
pressly declared themselves i'm favor of legisla-
ton for oil classes, and were not ready to pledge
themselves to any special legislation whatever
