are hatching schemes for preventing the labouring 

 people from having chiltiiru : who are about spread- 

 ing their nasty beastly publications; who are hatch- 

 in? schemes of rinigratinn; and \vho, in short, seem 

 to be doing every-thing in their power to widen the 

 fearful breach that ha< already been made between 

 the poor and the rich. The government has nothing 

 to do but to cause the law to be honestly enforced ; 

 and then we shall see no starvation, and none of 

 thu-v dreadful ronllirts which the fear of want. 

 well as actual want, never fail to produce. The bare 

 tboughtofforced emigration to a foreign state, includ- 

 ing, as it must, a transfer of all allegiance, which is 

 contrary to the fundamental laws of England ; or, 

 exposing every emigrating person to the danger of 

 committing hiirh trniwm; the very thought of such 



a measure, having become necessary in England, is 

 enough to make an Englishman mad. But, of these 

 projects, these -scandalous nasty beastly and shame-

 PORT, when an attempt was, on the 5th of September, 

 made to cheat them into an address, applauding the 

 cmif/nrt o/~ the Minfxtt'rit! What ! Had the people 

 of STOCKPORT so soon forgotten 16th of /l//i r //.s7 / 

 Had they so soon forgotten their townsman, JOSEPH 

 >'\\ AN ! If they had, they would have deserved to 

 perish to all eternity. Oh. no! It was a proposition 

 very jircnuit tin* : it will be quite soon enough for the 

 good and sensible and spirited fellows of STOCKPORT; 

 quite soon enough to address the Ministers, when the 

 Ministers shall have proposed a repeal of the several 

 Jubilee measures, called Ellenborough's law; the 

 poacher-transporting law; the sun-set and sun^rise 

 transportation law; the tread-mill law; the select- 

 vestry law; the Sunday-toll laws; the new trespass 

 law; the new treason law; the seducing-soldier- 

 hanging law; the new apple-felony law; the SIX 

 ACTS; and a great number of others, passed in the
