Ile had mewls,- bled tee inhabitants of tier Ward in this tavern. which afforded much ampler accommodation for all to he present than they could have found in any of their prochtal vestry-roolies.—(Appiaose.) Mr. GIBSOI then rose to call the attention of the • 'Deleting to the business of the d sy. Ile prefaced his speech by expressing his west ottisfaction at the readiness with which their worthy Alderman and She►iff; now in the Chair. hail convened this meeting. ,• intertnitice - of the requisition which had been pre awed' to him, and also in concurring with bolo in opinion that there could not be au earlier time or `fitter place at which to hold the meeting. lie 'would HOW explain the object s for which the reguisi tiros had been presented to their worthy Alderman, 'and in expressing his view of the moiirnful and ca lamitous occasion that had rendered this meeting necessary, he begged to assure them be should not wander from the strict subject, nor should lie try to excite their feelings unnecessarily, for, es men and as Englishmen, he knew they must feel as became them ow such an occasion. It was their boasted test. ing as Britons, that by their Constitution they could practically enjoy and morally appreciate the Wes ings of liberty, of which they had so long strewn they could make the best use. They enjoyed. among other blessings, the right of assembling to discuss what they conceived to be their grievances; the law imposed no restriction triton the exercise of this right so long-as the people conducted themselves peaceaby and orderly. The present meeting, for juetence, could not be called a Wardinote, be cause they had not their %Vim' Officers. It was not, therefore, an illegal meeting in the absence of those officers, nor the less entitled to be called an assembly of the inhabitants of the Ward. Now he would call their attention to what was the state of the meeting at Manchester, which led to such calamitous results. They would recollect that a meeting had been advertised for a week preceding the lfithitiigust —that that intended meeting had been proclaimed illegal by the Magistrates—and that the parties who called it had abandoned their first intention, and convened a new one, against which the Ma gistrates had pronounced no interdict whatever, and against which, therefore, it was to be fairly pre sumed the Magistrates could have hail no objection. Did not their silence justify the people in suppos ing that the Magistrates meant to offer no moles tation to their meeting ? Did not plain common sense justify such an inference ?—(Hear, hear./ It was, therefore, for the meeting to consider whe. titer any thing hail occurred, after the people bad assembled, to 'alter the opinion of the. Nlagistracy, or warrant them in taking a coarse of Whirls they had not, as in the first instance, forewarned the people. It was now on record upon oath, in the evidence before the Coroner, that there was no tumult at that meeting when the military came to disperse it ; it was clear from that evt deuce, that while the people were peaceably met together, they were attacked by the yeomanry, by that yeomanry which was enrolled to protect the people and keep the peace, and give energy to the constitutional magistracy of the country. The yeomanry attacked the people, hacked ilwm down without distinction of age or sex. and with a spirit • which one would think they could have only aliewn towards. their veriest and deadliest foes.— (Hear.) He did not mean to impute to the yeomanry in thOir individual capacities, any particular spirit of inhu manity, their conduct only shewed the wisdom of, our laws, whirls restrained the .Darr of indi►iduals within due limitsoind prevented that excess and effer vesceoce of unbridled power, which in this itistain r, as in every other, engendered a demoniac spirit. NVhat was the defence fur this attack on the meet. ing ? Why, that there was the best reason to kisow . that the labourers had determined upon an insur. rection—that they had told their friends they would return home on that day and change places with their masters—that instead of ally longer being the governed, they would all at once become the go. version.—( Laughter.)—And on this sort of state ment the attack was to be justified ! Were the people of this country to he deluded by such a story ?---and when these men were called Radicals, were they to be altogether denied the epithet of rationals—(4 largh)--and told that 40 or 60,000 could be called together, imbued and acted upon by such monstrous absurdities? But even this absurd defence did not go far enough for the Ma gistrates—it was incomplete and mere presumption. Were they so greedy of blood that they would not wait until the game was entangled in their net, and then grasp upon the offenders ?—(Cries of Ordera and Hear, hear.)—Were the yeomanry so eager to wet their swords in blood. ■s not to wait until the Magistrates had seen acts to warrant the infliction of their vengeance upon the people ?—(Cries of Order aid o Hear repeueed.)—sThe very internal). tiara shelved thu impossibility there was in bringing otie's mind to believe t,bat men could be guilty of such actions.—(Hear, bear.) —Was that the time and occasion when any good man would wish to see Magistrates exalted god thanked fur their services, who manifested ,this mode of skewing their regard for the people, iusteeti of gaining their affection. mildness ? that !stetson had recommended the strictest pence and order to the meeting. Constsitiles were suffer ed to puss up mid station themselves a mosig the crowd, and no opposition was manifested against their appearance or their movements. Were the occurrences of that day au encouragement to the civil power to come farivard tool assist the Nlatriss Witty ? Was 1101 a special constable the first sinus killed by the uttack made on the meeting ?
