ADICALS IN FINS ET-PLACE. ....... • •• .... / N ta iS %,„ ..,- ( eontintaan froll the Star of yesterday.) At a quarter past one, the Committee entered the waggon, into which the flag-bearers had previously gone; and the bustle of preparation having subsided, • -., 44e. WALIERR. - 1, 1 0 the-Raced try which Meet . — ing had been called ; after which he moved that Dr. • Warsosi do take the Chair... (This was followed by • - • it liiiist feeble.erpression of applause.) Dr.Waesow then addressed the Meeting, and ex pressed • upon bim; and he begged to assure them; that when - ever the rights of the People—whenever the liberties of min were at stake, they never s hould want a per .— eon to preside over their deliberations. They had already beard the placard read, which invited them WA:4*p the peace, but be did not think such advice necessary. Indeed, the People had given so many evidences of their disposition to do so, that he felt piesuaded, nothing but the greatest state of irritation, nething but the most violent attacks, would ever in fluence their to shew a disposition to the contrary— ( agar.) The present times were far more important tkan any other of the most eventful character through ' which they.had passed; for it was only very recently' that a fatal' instance of this kind had occurred at Manchester, where the people also were assembled as peiceably as those whom he now addressed—to consult on their ~eiievances, and consider of the best means for their alleviatien—to enlargetheir privileges and protect their rights, without meaning the slightest offence to the powers that be—were attacked by a • banditti that trampled under foot, and in the sequel, massacred and murdered. But he could not con template that such an event would happen in London; for multitudes would be found in the Merropolis, who, although at the sacrifice of a few lives, would, if so treated, repair to their homes, there procure weapons or missiles for defence, and on their return from thence, exterminate the men who had dared to attack or break do en their liberties—( Bravo.) The Doctor here observed, he would refresh his memory, by looking at a few written observations which he had put together in the morning, in order to proceed the more regularly with the business of the day. First, then, as to the intention of assembling them, together, he would observe, that as they had often been charged with merely assembling in detached parties, some in this quarter, and some in that, he, together with others, were of opinion , that more no merous and general assemblies woald he much more effective towards the realization of theirarislies—to wards the recovery of their lost rights. They had appealed to the Parliament of the Country, to the Prince Regent of the Country, hut all their Petitions and Remonorances were unavailing, for they had not as yet obtained those rights, to which, as Britons, they justly thought themselves entitled. But their condition was even worse than this, for they were gratified with nu argument stating why they did not long since possess them—(" Vety tree.') Hence it is, my friends, eontinued the Doctor, that we, and ',eith us every friend to humanity, wish to make a striking impression upon the Regent's mind by the assemblies of millions on one day, to express their desires, and obtain those liberties, which, as Britons, they are entitled to. It was expected, and, for aught he knew, it was the case, that the people of Glasgow, Paisley, Carlisle, Newcastle, Hull, Leeds, a great part of Yorkshire and Lancashire, of Sheffield, Not tingham, Liverpool, Derby, and Norwich, together, with those of London, would all have congregated' together to express their desires for liberty, and make such an appeal to the Prince Regent, as would induce' him to listen to their Petitions. It was expected that no less than a million and a half of people woald ' have assembled this day, to invite the Prince to pay' attention to their appeals. It was thought by .some persons, that such a course of proceeding would be ! unconstitutional, but he defied any man to point out to him (I)r. Watson) any Law which aerie to prevent , the people of different places from meeting on the, same day, and for the same avowed purpose. " I stand here (emphatically continued the Doctor) responsible, fur what! now say. And if the Attorney-General I fecle disposed to notice it, Gentlemen, 1 am ready to, meet him on any occasion. But if the Attorney- General himself were to commit an illegal act to-day, or any other parties, lain erne my friends and fellow cauntrymen will not fail to support me—(No, we'll &VW.' to support you.) Gentlemen, I truly assure you, that if I had an opinion I was acting wrong in what I have just said or done, I should be the last person to have done so. But, Gentlemen, I stand upon the basis of the Law ; I consider myself acting under the privile;es of a Briton, under the protection of the Constitution, and I can have no possible fear 110T13 any thing that may result from my conduct on this day. I look back, Gentlemen, with pleasure, to that period of our history, when our ancestors en joyed the privilege of the Wittengamote, when they could meet without danger, and proceed without molestation ; and surely if our ancestors, even then, could so meet under the sanction of the laws, what objection can there be to Our meeting, for the purpose of appealing to the Prince, and in co-operation with him, endeavour to enfranchise every man of you? Gentlemen, I am really sorry for the uncomfortable situation in which I see you placed. And whether . it arose from accident, or the narrow-mindedness of certain individuals, I cannot say; but this I know, that the sludge in which we are now standing, was rot here the otheteday, when I came for the purpose of finding a place where we Might conveniently hold this Meeting. We will, therefore, draw this Meeting v a close as speedilyas possible. Gentlemen, I truly feel for you—(" Neve, mind, toe hate stout hearts in g: e cause."- 4 g Don't *id, go on r).. But whatasto. wishes me most is, . objecting to simultaneous t e I,:eetings, whose prin k 1 object a to produce an int po:ing effect upon the 'Find of the Prince Regent s end shew hint what are the wishes I his peaceable, and his loyal although lorffil -suing People. (flear.) . Gentlemen, I am astonished to find the name of Mr. Wooler opposed to simultaneous Meetings, and am s'l because he has generally advocated the cause pf liberty and humanity, and that upon !he very best, and most L! cc:lent principles." The Doctor now read a paragraph frere Tiff! Black Dwarf of Wednesday, last, oe whicll he commented, and addeciNe convic tion, that persons wefe 'employed throughout the Colima - v,.fisit the purpose of destroying that effect lip tended to be produced on the day they were then as sembled. But (continued the Doctor) I should state to you, % Gentlemen; that while Mr. WoOler op posed he %‘.a s., called. tirely agreed dais day ' s principleslteeting . s o p t e l c w ifi b c i al ch lY it He (Mt. Woolei) says, the time of meeting is impro per. But I consider no time improper to meet for the purpose of consulting on our grievances , and consider ing of such measures as are likely to effect a beneficial change for the interest of the People. But, above all, Gentlemen, when I consider the pathetic Address of the - Female Reformers at Blackburn, entreating that the bleak and dreary winter mi;ht not be allowed to pass over, without consulting on some measures for the relief of the multiplied miseries which the People endured, I cannot think that any friend to humanity would have delayed a single moment without meet ing for such an object. With several of Mr. Wooler's observations I accord completely ; hut when he states the impropriety of our meeting on this day, I cannot possibly agree with him. Gentlemen, it is always bet ter to negociate for the rights of mankind. than to fight for them—(Bravo, bravo). A nd, Gentlemen, to negociate is our,intention ; we wish to consult with the Prince Regent. and we wish to do so in peace, and without the loss of a single life." The People, he ,contended 4 should negociate with the Prince Regent, and that would be the surest way to obtain their rights. Dr. Watson next proceeded to notice the late conduct of the Whigs, who had acted nobly, and who would never insult the People, and read several pas sages from The Morning. Chronicle, the organ of the Whigs, to shew what the sentiments of those parties were. There was one passage in the Paper in ques tion, from which, however, they could collect what would be the conduct of the Whigs if ever they got into power, in a letter addressed to the Editor, and signed " A Constitutional Whig," in which the writer said he was a friend to Parliamentary Reform ; but they should see what sort of a Reform his was ; it was not to be a Radical, but a moderate Reform, and the plan was, that all Householders, paying taxes to a certain amount; should have a right to vote for Mem bers of Parliament. This was the Reform that went to deprive the mass of the People of their birth-right. Would they submit to such a Reform as this ?(No, no.) He should be able to prove, that not only every poor man in the Country, whether he had a house or not, paid heavy taxes, but that taxes were paid by every babe and infant in the Kingdom. Could the People, who were not householders, be satisfied that the householders, having exclusively vested in them the right of voting, would do them justice ?—(No, no). He was sure they would net ; and that they would resist such a principle of corruption as was laid down by . the writer in question. It remained, then, for them to make every possible effort for the recovery of their rights. For his own part, if his principles were not more correct than those of the writer he had quoted, he should not have appeared among them this day. [Here the Doctor was for some time inter rupted by the noise of some of the multitude, who were shoving each other into a great pool of muddy water that was in front of the waggon] He said, he felt for the situation in which the People were placed, and hoped they would endeavour not to in convenience each other.—ln order to prove, that the very poorest of the Peoples paid taxes, he should read to them a calculation which he had made that m0rn- ing. In doing this, he should simply confine himself to the effects produced by the late infamous Corn Bill. He supposed there were three milions of indus trious families in this Kingdom who got their living by their labour; that each family consisted of five persons, and that each family consumed one quar ters loaf per day. In consequence of the Corn Bill, the price of the loaf was now as high as one shilling; but, forty or fifty years ago, the price was only four pence. It followed, then, that every poor tamily out of these three millions paid a tax of eight-pence per day, amounting altogether to £lOO,OOO every day ; and that the total amount of the tax paid by the poor on bread alone was £36,500,000 a-yeas ! Had not the poor, then, on the ground of paying taxes, a right to vote, as well as any other People in the Country ?—( Yes, they have.) It was said, that poor labourers possessed no property, and, therefore, that they had no right to the elective franchise; but was not the circumstance one family being obliged to pay a tax upon bread to the amount of £l2 2s. Bd. per annum, a proof that they had property which was entitled to protection as much as the property of the rich ? They were charged with being Revo lutionists ; he would repel that charge, as a foul libel upon their characters. If the charge was true, they could have a Revolution whenever they pleased -If at the great Meetings where Mr. Hunt lately presided, both in London and Manchester, the people had come armed, and resolved on bringing about a Revolution, no power - could have withstood them. The people never attempted any thing of the kind, although the terms for Reform, which they had offered were indignantly rejected ; and the perseve rance and firmness which they displayed on such oc casions, would be recorded in the proudest pages of their history. An experiment was made upon the patience of the people at Manchester; and the only effect of it was to bring down shame and confusionl on their enemies, as was evident from the spirit of indignation and resistance, which it already excited all over the kingdom, against the daring villains who had attacked the people on the memorable 16th of August—conduct which the GOD Of HEAVEN would visit with due vengeance ; and if the Borough Tyrants would drive the people to despair,- no one knew how soon the avenging sword of justice would reach them. Mr. Watson next alluded to the at tempts that were threatened to he made against the Liberty of the Press ; but he maintained, that the re sult of Carlile's trial proved that the laws already in ''existence were strong enough to punish any offence committed by the Press. One of the things intended to be offered for their consideration that day, was an Appeal to the Prince Regent; it was one, the most important in its nature, that had ever been made ; but it was impossible to say whose hands it might fall into, or whether the Prince cpuld ever see it, such was the thavacter of the Ministers by whom he WAS surrounded. After various other statements, he expiessed his belief, that the patience of the people could ,not hold out any longer. After they should obtain the liberty they sought for, and after he had done his utmost in enabling them to effect their ob ject, the height, of his ambition would be to recite into the bosom of his family, contented with the -Teat work that had been effected-.-(Great applause). • Doctor then said, that they would have a very lonveries of Resolutions submitted to their conside ration, to which, he had no doubt, they would give a very cordial assent.! A Mr. WALKER then read twenty-seven Resolu tions, which, however, were of so inflammatory a nature, that we decline giving them insertion, and we shall therefore merely detail the substance of them. They commenced by stating, that it is an inherent principle of justice that power belongs to • the people." They then went to condemn the present oppressive system of Government, to point out the necessity of Reform, and the adoption of Universal Saffrate and Annual Parliaments; in obtaining which, mechanics, artisans, and labourers were particularly called upon, to assert that an armed people, who have courage to use their arms, cannot be a nation of slaves ; and that an attempt to disarm the people was a violation of the laws of nature ; to assert that, since the mas• nacre at Manclie,ter, it had become the imperative duty of the British People not to lose an hour in pro viding themselves with weapons of defence, as an in dubitable evidence had been given of the intention of a wicked faction to - reduce the people to slavery, by force of arms. That the people were the proper judges when their rights are invaded, and ought to resist tyrannical oppression. That it was cowardly of the people to suffer tyrants to oppress them ; but that it would be folly to resist, until a large multi tude of people were willing to submit to subordina tion, and to supp'y themselves with the means to de fend themselves. That the conduct of Government— the servile echo of Grand Jurymen—the illegal con duct of Magistrates—the thanks of the Prince Re gent to the Manchester Yeomanry, all tended to ' prove that the social compact was broken ; that the rich were leagued against the poor, and that a legal tyranny was preparing to de?rive them of every ves tige of freedom ; and that, therefore, it was the duty ,ot every honest friend to his country, at the hazard 'of his life, to resist every attempt to suspend any laws which guaranteed their liberty. After some further observations on the state of public abuses, and the necessity of enforcing redress, the Resolu tions proposed a last Appeal to the Prince Regent, with a view to have his answer, if he should have the wisdom and judgment to give one, made pub licly known through the medium of the Press, and " That the Prince Regent, in the said Appeal, be admonished to listen to the advice of the suffering people, forthwith to issue his Writs to the Sheriffs of Counties, &c. to call upon the people to assemble, and to elect out of every 7,000 adult male persons, one adult male person ot respectable character to re present them in the Commons House of Parliament ; and that every male person of reputable character be eligible to be elected, except those holding offices under Government ; and that the said election take place by ballot." In conclusion, it was resolved— " That London would meet again on the 15th of No vember, to hear the Prince's answer !!!"—Mr. WAL KER having finished reading the Reso-lutions, Dr. WATSON again came forward, and said the Resolutions just read were as important as any that wore ever submitted to a people as enlightened as any on the face of the globe. That they might not be al ways presenting Petitions and Addresses without men tioning any direct and specific mode of relief, it was pointed out in a plain Resolution, which he would ' take the liberty of reading again—[Here the Doctor read the 26th Resolutionj.—lf the Appeal should be read by the Prince Regent, he would easily see bow every man in the country might, without danger or inconvenience, hate his just Tights extended to him. , If assemblies of people, consisting of 7,000 each, Were every one to send its Representative to Parlia ment, it would produce for the three Kingdoms 600 Members of Parliament altogether. It could not be supposed, that if. the present Meeting consisted of 70,000, there could not be easily found among them ten persons worthy of their choice, both able and willing to support their rights in Parliament. Be. sides, as the election would be annual, it would be easy, if they did not perform their duties properly, not to return them again. They would, in that case, ; be obliged once more to mingle with the common mass, and return into society, loaded with the con ; tempt of their fellow-citizens. Mr. FORRESTER then came forward to second the Resolutions. His citizens and fellow-countrymen had heard the Resolutions that were just read in such con vincing and strong language. It was proper the lan guage should be of such a nature, for this was not a time to trifle with their - rights. It was necessary to tell the truth. Truth was a thing that should never offend; it was the best, the only criterion of all ac tions. Every man should now examine how he stood in political life. They lately witnessed a melancholy instance of men, women, and children—assembled as they were now—rode down, and trampled upon by Yeomanry, not by regular British soldiers. The real British soldier was a man who never disgraced his sword by tyranny—never shed blood in domestic con cerns. He was happy in having this opportunity of seconding the Resolutions, and congratulated them on their peaceable nduct. They should never cease to meet until they had obtained their rights. If they were to live at all they should live as freemen—if not, better to die than live slaves. Let it not be supposed, that he appeared there as the preacher up of Revolu tion, Rebellion, or Conspiracy. The Radical . Re formers were charged with this; but if conspiracy, existed at ail, who were the abettors of it but those , who conspired to deprive the People of their rights? If sedition existed, with whom lay the blame, but with those who advised the Prince Regent to thank the Yeomanry and Magistrates of Manchester for cutting down the people? If there were a rebellion. who were justly to be 'Charged with it,. but-they who rode down and slaughtered men, women; and chil dren ? They supportedalie Resolutions on that day, and he hoped in future, and for the whole of their lives, they would continue to support them in princi-. ple—that they would set to the country and the world a better example than their opposers. Mier some further observations, the Resolutions were put and unanimously agreed to. Mr. \\TALKER then occupied above an hour in . the reading of a Petition to the Prince Regent, which, however; seemed to be very little attended to, as the Meeting were diverted by the different squabbles of parties in the mud. Several boxing matches took place in the course of the day, but none of the cOm batants shewed much knowledge of pugilistic science. To them, however, the attention of the spectators was more obviously directed than to the orators. • The Mectiii:y was now, by the advice Of the Doc • tor, about to disperse, and the horw . waggon, had begun to draw it a - r 4 7, w i.4" the parties surround ing it t h ought it toos001.4,1"41 it was then nearly dark.)
