THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 12, 1867. BENEVOLENT SOCIETY OF ST. PATRICK. Under the Patronage of her MAJESTY and H.R.11. the by those most desirous of seeing a Reform Bill passed. ADVERTISEII.—it is due to the Derby Ministr: to say, that while we do not quite like the visage of the forthcoming Reform measure, so far as we fancy we can discern some of its features, we are willing to wait until it is fully and fairly unfolded before we emdemn it. Mr. Disraeli again and again assured the house that Ministers were willing to listen at tentively, and to give due weight to any sugges tions which may be mach: with the view of improv ing the measure. Under these circumstances it would be ungracious to prejudge their scheme, or to assume towards it a hostile attitude. But while we are willing to extend every possible amount of in dulgence to the Government, and not condemn their measure before it has been submitted to Parliament and the public, we deem it right to make some ob servations with the view of indicating what we con sider indispensable provisions in any Reform mea sure which the country can be expected to accept as a satisfactory .settlement of the question. First, everybody expects that there will be a large ex tension of tke suffrage downwards. To suppose that Mr. Disraeli will bring in a bill, or resolu tions, having no such feature, is to suppose that he must have taken leave of his senses. But how shall the suffrage be extended? Shall the £7 householders, or the £8 householders, or the £5 householders, be enfranchised ? Somehow or other no one appears to expect either of these conces sions. People have come to the conclusion—we know not on what grounds—that the new measure is to grant, in some way or other, absolute house hold suffrage. If it does so, it will be more libe ral than Lord Russell's bills of 1852, 1851, and 1864, and more liberal than Mr. Gladstone's bill of last year. But then, if such a proposal as this be made, we must expect to find it balanced by some provisoes intended to prevent the utter " swamp ing" of the higher and middle classes. Such pro visoes have been recommended by several noted Liberals. Eighty years ago, Mr. Horne Toole pro posed but he e proposed also en o t a e tog i iv r e e electo a rs o . More recently, Mr. Bonamy Price, Mr. Rathbone Greg, w t i o d e each suffrage , ofte wealthier and Mr. Mill have given their approval of such a safeguard. Mr. Mill, however, only suggests six votes each for the educated classes. TELEGRAPII.—We are not going to quarrel with Ministers about their motives—we assume good motives ; we are not going to question the spirit in which they have acted—we sympathise with the painful plight of so many politicians debarred from the luxury of indulging in the last infirmity of noble minds. Mr. Disraeli may leap into the gulf which he helped to open, and we shall condole with the survivors. But, we ask, what claim have the pre, sent Government—except, perhaps, their willing , ness to become the clerks of the house—upon tha forbearance which they demand almost as a righ- The Committee have the honour to announce that the EIGHTY-FOURTH ANNIVERSARY FESTIVAL of this Charity will be celebrated at WILLIS'S ROOMS, King-street, St. James's on ST. PATRICK'S EVE, the 16th March, the' Prince of \VALES in the Chair, and that HALLE the Duke of CAMBRIDGE has consented to head the list of Vice-President& and Stewards, which will shortly be published. • THOS. KIPPAX atiG, jun., Secretary. Stamford-street, S. Why, for their sakes, should we abandon, even for a moment, that great modern improvement, the salt of the Parliamentary system, the real distinction between the English and the American system— government by responsible Ministers ? Why - should we repeal responsible government for a session in order that the Cabinet of Lord Derby should re main in office ? The British Constitution and par liamentary usage are no doubt elastic enough to lend themselves to forms of procedure; but far stronger reasons must be shown for acquiescence in this particular form, if it is to have full warrant. It is no . light thing to throw upon the entire house the burden of responsibilities that properly belong to Government. And for what ? That we may discuss and adopt resolutions which, so far as they have been explained, are alike distasteful to the house and to the country. If, when they are be fore us, the resolutions do not promise a sounder measure of reform than that sketched by Mr. Dis raeli, the Government must then take them back and tell us what they really mean, or take themselves out of office. There is no other alternative. As we understand it, this Tory plan for the evolution of an inadequate project, intended to " reconstruct the House of Commons," is one that lands us in nothing less than a Convention Parliament and a Provisional Government. votes of thanks. 4_4 ) ""1 PRIG le 4d.

Tleinwieosr,k.andrrhbiys is many friends of liberty and peace are strengthened and encouraged in their struggles for the right. While thanking you for your labours I would join in the sentiment recently expressed by my friend, the Rev. A. L. Post, of Pennsylvania, published in the London Freeman, that 14_1ngland and America might unitedly advance in wise and just measures, and become leaders and examples to other nations. I will refer to three historical facts to show the valt le of mutual knowledge between England and America. The battle of New Orleans was fought January- 8, 1815, but peace between England and America was concluded on the 24th December, 1814. A tele gram to that effect by an Atlantic cable—had one then been laid —would have saved the lives of a thousand Englishmen slain in that battle. In 1811 there were two parties in the American Congress— one for peace with England, the other for war. The latter party declaimed against England on r.e count of the " Orders in Council," which, though framed against the policy and edicts of Bonaparte, injured American commerce. The peace party, an ticipating that very soon intelligence might be received that the objectionable " orders" had be en repealed, asked for more time. A vote was taken, and it was decided by one majority not to wait. War was declared soon after the expected gence reached America of the repeal of the " ordere s , - 0 but it was then too late. Could a telegram have been sent to America announcing their reveal, the peace party would have carried its cause triumphantly and prevented the war. When Mason and Slidell were taken from the 7 rent the Ameri can Government designed tcrsttrrender them if rt.:- quested to do so. This was not known in Eugla.nd, and a million of pounds were expended in prepar ing for war. Could each Government have sent a telegram to the other that amount of money would have been saved. But in commencing my letter I designed to refer to the knowledge communicated by the press in the Southern States, and to show its influence on the future of the Union. The slave party has alwry s been hostile to the liberty of the press. When. the rebellion began there were but two free presses in:all the slave States. A free press through all the South would have prevented secession. President John son's policy represents the ruling classes of the South unchecked by the influence of a free press. But a transition is going on. The Southern press is obtaining its liberty. This obtained, the inte rests and sympathies of the people will be one, North and South, and the Congress and the Presi dent one in their policy as exponents of the will of the people. When the anti-slavery reform began the liberty of the press, even in the free States, had been de stroyed by the slave party. William Lloyd Garrison published an anti-slavery newspaper in Boston, Massachusetts. For this he was dragged through. the streets with a rope and thrust into prison; but lac; maintained this ground, and published the Liberator in that city till the slaves were free. J. G. Birney published an anti-slavery paper at Cincinnati. The press was destroyed, but re-established, and after wards removed to Washington. In its columns in that city " Uncle Tom's Cabin" appeared in chap ters. This was its origin. The anti-slavery prer,3 of John G. Whittier was destroyed by a mob irt. Philadelphia, but the attempt to publish it was re newed with success, and it was continued to the end of slavery. The Rev. Mr. Lovejoy published an anti-slavery newspaper in Alton, Illinois, and for this was slain by the mob. Two friends of the slave, Benjamin Lundy and Zebina Eastman (the latter now the American Consul in this city) re solved, without knowing each other's design, to re establish a free press in that State, and succeeded in doing so. Eventually the whole Northern pres s opposed the extension of slavery, and thus enabled the Federal Government to carry out this policy, whatever it might cost. But, passing from the Free to the Slave States, I observe that in all these either state-law or lynch-law prevented discussion on the slavery question, and no press was free. Mr. Clay, the present American Ambassador to Russia, having emancipated his slaves, established in Ken tucky an anti-slavery press. A mob gathered and determined to destroy it. Mr. Clay resolved to defend it, and having made his will placed a small cannon in the office. A few friends sup ported him with their presence and aid. Eventually, while he was ill, the mob broke into the office, boxed up the press, and sent it to a free State. He maintained his ground, and printing his paper in a free, published it in a slave State. It wassuspended in the Mexican war. When I visited Kentucky I laboured to re-establish it, but was compelled to leave on pain of death. Six weeks afterwards Mr. Clay established an anti-slavery paper in that State. It was, I believe, merged in the Louisville Journal; and this, with the Free South, published at Newport, in the same State, were the only free presses in the South, where the rebellion began. Hence there was no opportunity in the slave States of discussing the questions of liberty and union— secession and slavery. There was no check to the power, and no contradiction of the falsehoods of slaveholders. There was no opportunity of en lightening the people ; of ascertaining the strength and numbers of Union men ; and forewarning the millions of non-slaveholders of the inevitable de struction that must come upon them from the might of the North. A free press through would have been a better support the h e South to t Federal G over nment than armies or navies. But the press was subsidised by the slave party, and secession relegate it to it s p roper functions. Whilst it was intriguing against the'liberties of the people, as it was at presen, it was transgressing those functions. With regard to class legislation, let them look at the Cattle Plague Bill and the Night Poaching Act, by - which people were taxed to find gamekeepers for the rich. But, crowning wrong of all, let them look at the present state of Ireland, the coun try which had beer. misgoverned for centuries. After some farther remarks on these subjects the speaker concluded by moving the resolution. THE O'DoNOGII [JE, M.P., seconded the resolution. He said he had just left the House of Commons, and he could tell them as a matter of fact that the Government had not introduced a Reform Bill. (Loud groans, and cries of " Turn them out") The im pression left on his mind was that the Tory party in tended to carry a Reform Bill through the House of Commons without consulting the people. They would see the papers in the morning, and be able to decide whether the impression on his mind was the correct one. The hon. gentleman then spoke at considerable length on the reform question, andcom pared the electoral franchise as at present existing in some of the continental countries, in America, and in the colonies, with that existing in this_ country, and asked if the English nation would be content with their present 'fractional possession of political power. lie said that millions of the people in Ire land would unite with the people of this country in advancing the common cause of reform. --Mr. T. B. Porno, M.P., in supportingthe mo tion, alluded, amidst considerable interruptions to several of the features of the reform measure pro posed by Mr. Disraeli, which he characterised as wholly unsatisfactory and not of a genuine character. He stated that it transferred no portion of the pre sent overwhelming power of the landed interest, but which was carefully revised to protect them. Mr. TAYLOR, M.P., supported the resolution, and said that he had just come from the Theatre of St. Stephens, and he had gladly escaped from that atmosphere to the Agricultural Hall. At the pre sent time the House of Commons was thinking of how much reform it could give them without con ceding too much of its present interests ; and, se condly, how little they could induce the people to accept. Mr. MOIR (of the Scottish Reform League), in supporting the resolution, said that there was a set of " audacious wretches" in the country, both north and south, who spoke of the masses of the people as having no stake in the country ; but had they no stake ? Why, they were liable to be called upon to sacrifice their lives in the service of their country, and he thought that a large stake. Some time ago he had been asked for what reason he would give a vote to a man who could not write, and his reply was for the same reason that the inquirer would jus tify the punishment of a man for breaking a law which ho had never heard of. The resolution was then put to the meeting and carried unanimously. Mr. Ernest Jones proposed the second resolution as follows :—" That this meeting desires most ear- nestly to press upon the Liberal members of the House of Commons the absolute necessity, as they regard the peace and welfare of the country, of not consenting to any measure of Reform designed to evade the full and just rights of the people to be directly represented in their own branch of the Legislature." lie said that the Tory Government was a " Godsend" to many half-hearted Liberals, and would enable them to accept a small measure of Reform and then excuse themselves on the plea that they had taken the most they could get from the Tories. The Tories had saddled the country with a vast national debt, and if they could have had their way we should :now have been at war with the United Stetes of America. They were the enemies of progress, and whilst all the rest of the world was pressing onwards, the Tories were standing still. Profesor BF:ESLEY seconded the resolution. He said he wa. in no hurry to see the question settled ; he hoped they would not take the advice of those parties who said, take all you can get. They were close upon obtaining manhood suffrage in 1832, and if they had not compromised the matter would have had it granted them. Mr. BRADLATIGII supported the resolution. He said they had shown how many hundreds of thou sands of working men they could take out into the streets of London on this question, and it would show the Government that if they did not give them the measures they asked that they could sweep them (the Government) away from their path. He advised them not to be content with simply passing these "sham resolu tions." He trusted they would not consent to be governed by the present Ilouse of Commons, which was composed of tha railway interest, the sons and relatives of the peers, and were the worthless out side gilt which concealed the rotten gingerbread underneath which was predominant, whilst the people were prevented from sending true value in the persons of those they might desire to choose as their representatives. The Rev. A. O'NEILL proposed the third resolu tion, filled up as follows :—" That, in the opinion of this meeting, the propositions made in the House of Commons this evening, on the subject of the Reform of the representation of the people in Par liament, are eminently unsatisfactory, and com pleted the proof of the present Government being unworthy of the confidence of the country." Mr. Councillor BURT, of the Glasgow Reform League, seconded the resolution, which was car- ried, and The proceedings terminated with the customary followed. As the Federal military power advanced in the South, free presses sprang up to sink again when ever that power was withdrawn. But the slave system has departed, and with it the chief motive to paralyse the freedom of the press. Both editors and people are acquiring new courage. Wherever in the South the policy of justice to the black man is fully discussed, it secures the voice of the people. A large measure of power, owing to the ignorance and prejudices of the people, is still in the hands of the ex-slaveholders, and they have still a heavy hand on the freedom of the press. This is but temporary. The North must give character to the Federal Government, and this will secure a free press for the South. A grand banquet took place at Washington on • the Bth January in commemoration of the 52d an niversary of the battle of New Orleans in 1815. The Hon. F. P. Blair presided. Among the guests were Senators Cowan, of Pennsylvania ; Sauls bury, of Delaware ; Hendricks, of Indiana, and a number of others ; Hone. A. J. Rogers, of New Jersey; John Hogan, of Missouri; Judge Charles Mason, Thomas J. Henley, of Indiana ; Mr. Kerr, of Indiana ; Montgomery Blair, F. P. Blair, sr., of Maryland ; the Hon. George Taylor, of Brooklyn, New York ; Hon. J. M. Humphrey, of New York ; Mr. Finck, of Ohio; Mr. Akins, of the same State; C. Winfield, of New York. The Textu3delegation were all present; also Mr. L. D. Evans, of the sam6State ; Messrs. Glossbrenuer and Ancona ; the Hon. Mr. Wheeler, of North Carolina ; Mr. Niblack, of In diana ; Mr. Trimble, of Kentucky ; Voorhees, of Indiana ; Judge Merrick, District of, Columbia, and a number of others scarce less prominent. The President was enthusiastically received, and in the course of his speech, in reply to the toast, " The Health of the President of the United States," said — , 4No St:ite of its own will has the right, under the Constitution, to renounce its place in, or to withdraw from, the Union. Nor has the Congress of the United States, under the Constitution, the power to degrade the people of any State by re ducing them to the condition of a mere territorial dependency upon the Federal head. The one is a disruption and a dissolution of the Government ; the other is consolidation and the exercise of despotic power. The advocates of either are alike the enemies of the Union and of our Federal form of government. As illustrative of the transition now going on, I will refer to a new paper just issued at MempLis, Tennessee, under the title of The Baptist. Its editor, the Rev. J. R. Graves, formerly published a newspaper at Nashville, Tennessee ; he fully sym pathised with the rebellion, but succeeded in escap ing Natchez on the approach of the Federal army. He says in his new journal, " If any look to me to foster the fell spirit of hate and revenge that rankles in the breasts and burns upon the tongues of some of our brethren they will be disappointed. . . . What can we effect by fomenting feelings of hatred and malignity, but to sow the noxious seeds in the breasts of our offspring that will and must inevit ably fruit in another harvest of desolation ? As Christians, do we desire to repeat the scenes of the past four years in each succeeding generation ? Are we so earthly as to desire that our sons may find graves upon future battlefields, and devote our daughters to widowhood and sorrow ? Forbid it, gracious God !" President Johnson values the advantages of a free press, as the interview with the American correspondent of the Times evinces; but I do not learn that any thing was said during the interview o u u p t on by tl a ie f b re e e ne p fi re c s ia s l in eff t e: e ts would be wrought South. —Yours very truly, Bristol, Feb. 5, 1867. EDWARD MATHEWS. By the new French press law printers and pub lishers will only have to make a simple declaration of their place of residence and qualifications. It is believed that the newspaper stamp will be reduced to three centimes. It is not yet known whether non-political 'publications will be submitted to the same duty. We hear that the manufacture of the cable for the new North Atlantic telegraph route from Europe to America, via Iceland and Greenland, will soon be commenced at Liverpool, and the line will be cow pleted this year or next. A telegram from Cairo announces that two large steam tugs have passed through the fresh water canal and arrived safely at Suez. The Isthme de Suez states that M. Dassaud, the contractor, has signed an agreement with the Vicero y to construct two p o rts, one military and the o t her commercial. They w ill be separated by an immense jetty, by a railway. The works will cost 15 traversed millions of francs, and take six years to complete, - SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS " - - TIMES.--The Chancellor of the Exchequer is so clever a man that he constantly deceives himself by underrating the capacity of others. The elaborate speech he delivered last night was a signal instance of this self-deception. The House of Commons is longing for a settlement of the Reform question. It recognises its difficulties ; it is conscious that it has dallied with a problem which becomes more in volved the longer it remains unsettled ; it is ready to welcome any proposals which would redress the glaring defects of our representative system without subverting the principles of the Constitution. The country is of the same mind. The course the Ministers of the Croivn have adopted is not, the Chancellor of the Exchequer last night confessed, flattering to themselves. This is true, but they might have converted it into an opportunity of triumph. " An offence handsome!y acknowledged," as Lord Delamere said last week, quoting the most brilliant comedies, " wafers an sliigations" and if -the Mini stry had shown that they frankly recognised the position in which they were placed, and were dis posed to concede freely what it is incumbent upon any Ministry to concede, no ungenerous construc tion would be put upon their conduct, and they might have achieved a distinguished success. It is now probable that their conduct of Reform must be a continued humiliation, and the only practical question is whether the House of Commons must not take the matter into its own hands and use the Ministry as an instrument to register its Resolu tions. The Administration is ready, Mr. Disraeli said, to consult the sense of the house and to accept its suggestions--words which may indicate a desire for real co-operation, or a supineness ready to bend to any fate. The House of Commons is fortunately not called upon nicely to discriminate the_ mean ing of these phrases. Its desire—and in this respect, as in so many others, it reflects the spirit and intelligence of the nation— is to settle the problem of Reform on terms which may be accepted as permanent for a generation. It has declared over and over again the necessity of an extensive enfranchisement • it has manifested a s o ft en it s de terininationnt'ctharatackte. to erawayanything from its own representative But now there is a need of prompt and - immediate action, compared with which the fate of a Ministry or the ambition of an &pposition is a matter of trifling consideration. To eject the present occupants of office from the Treasury Bench would delay the solution of Reform for at least twelve months, and too probably for a longer period ; to keep them there is to employ the services of several able administrators, and to con ciliate an opposition which might be too powerful if unloosed.: The highest considerations demand a de termination to abstain from party triumphs. The House of Commons must take the Ministry at their word, and mould the resolutions so as to correspond to the requirements of the case. The house must express the sense the Chancellor of the Exchequer is ready to consult ; it must put forth the sugges tions he is willing, on behalf of his colleagues, to accept; and so the session of 1867 may not be wasted, and the work of Reform may be accom plished. HERALD—In the fortnight which is to elapse before the House of Commons will be asked to enter upon the consideration of the Government resolu tions, the country will, we trust, study carefully, and consider fairly, the speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. We do not think we allow ourselves to be blinded by our long admiration for the dis tinguished leader of our party when we say that it affords a coucluive vindication of the course which the Government has resolved upon pursuing, and an irrefragable statement of the true principles of Parliamentary Reform. In calling upon the House of Commons to divest itself of that party spirit with which it has usually and legitimately ap proached the disCussion of this question, Mr. Disraeli, who certainly is not the man to underrate the im portance of party organisation, or to dispute the benefits of party spirit, summoned the house to legislate on Reform in the only way in which legis lation can be attained. All parties have attempted to settle the question, and all have failed ; and close observers have long seen that no party, dealing with the matter in a party spirit and without the co operation of the other side of the house, can settle it.' The Government does not present its scheme to the house saying, "Take this ,or none at all." Whilst resolved to abid e b y the leading principles of its own plan, which it cou ld not abandon w i t h h onour or safety, it will receive propositions coming from the other side of the house with thedesire to find in them the means of rendering the measure more complete and satisfactory. In fact, the Government says to the House of Commons--" This question of Reform is one of your own stirring up. By the man ner in which you have dealt with it its settlement has now become a matter of urgent importance. We have resolved to do ou r utmost to bring about t h at settle ment; and the only way, i n w hi c h we can find a pos sibility of attaini ng i t is to take you i nto our confi dence, to invite y our co-operation. I t wou ld h ave been more agree a bl e to us to intro d uce a bill ; b u t this is not a time to consider the complacency of Ministers or the pride of parties, and our past expe rience shows the danger of that policy. To effect a settlement of this question we must all give and take. We ask you, therefore; to meet us, to rise superior to mere party spirit, as we have risen above our personal predilections. We want to bring in a bill that will pass, and passDAILY NEWS. --Of all the places o f evening with promptitude." en tertainment which are now open in London there is none more attractive than the House of Commons when Mr. Disraeli is announced to perform. This great actor's British Constitutional Statesman is as clever a personation as his Buckinghamshire coun try gentleman. Both are a little artificial ; but they are not the less amusing on that account. But though amusement is very, well in its way, it ought not to interfere with business. To be put off with a player when a statesman is needed, is as impertinent as a jest out of place. Mr. Disraeli's speech yes terday evening must- have brought these reflections home to the minds of his most enthusiastic admirers in the very crisis of their enjoyment of his eccentric history, his whimsical philosophy, and his piquant personalities. The practical conclusion of his lengthened exposition is clear. The Government is determined to keep office, and to let Reform take its ministries should tion,because all parties chance. It is not, Mr. Disreali has discovered, a their ti i r c a h hptaahuretdyfsacitaeuteosf it and fail e d. It i s a pen q ha u v e de d.se t i torniletocini is House of Commons question, because the House of Commons has refused to accept any of the proposi tions of the various Administrations which have attempted to deal with it ; and because the mo ti ons which revived the subject in and after th e year 1848, and the amendmen t which defeated L or d Derby's Bi linlBs 9, proceeded from p r i va t e and in dependent' members. POST.—lnto the merits of the resolutions it would be premature to enter at present. We may, how ever, say at once there isnothing necessarily objec tionable involved in any o them. Rati ng f urn i shes, f perhaps, a better basis for determining property qualification than rental, and so the majority of the House of Commons thoug h t last year when they adopted Lord Dunkellin's m otion and defeated the bo Government. roug boroughs are completely no one can s er i ous l y complain fno completely disfranchised, i, still the ge nera l prin ciple figures,but and th e i n f erences he pro vided the franchise is extended to their satisfaction.

The fault which we fancy will be found with the resolutions is that they carry us a short way on our journey, and that their accept ans,e is quite consistent with the future loss of the measure they are intended to introduce. The vital issue will not be raised until the House of Commons is asked to decide whether the Government offer a sufficient extension of the franchise. But on this point they are now silent. When the House goes into committee on the resolutions, we conceive it will be the duty of the Government to state the substance of the measure they propose ; as other: wise the house may reasonably object to pledging itself to resolutions in total ignorance of the man- ner in which they are to be applied. We did not, however, understand Mr. Disraeli to say that the resolutions should be discussed otherwise than as abstract propositions, and we cannot therefore assume that the initiatory step proposed by the Go vernment will be taken as a matter of course even Now ready, THE MONEYS OF ALL NATIONS, with their Correct Value in English Currency Six copies Bent free by post on receipt of two penny stamps.--Nddress I'.

The Scottish deputations : Glasgow—Councillor John Burt, president; James Moir, vice-president ; and Mr. George Jackson, secretary of the Scottish National Reform League. Auchtermuchty, Messrs.

Mr. BEALES, who upon coming forward to address the meeting was loudly cheered, said that he con gratulated them on the demonstration of that day, which had been conspicuous for its observance of law and order, and of which the metropolis might well be proud. The speaker next explained the rea sons for the absence of Mr. Bright, and read a letter from Mr. J. S. Mill, who stated asoue of the reasons for his absence that he considered that " his taking part in any public meetings should be confined to exceptional circumstances." Mr. Beales proceeded to comment on the letter, which he pronounced to be in its general terms very different to the homily which Lord Derby had treated them (the Reform Leaguers) to in the House of Lords on Friday night, when he said that they would be held re sponsible for any destruction of property which might take place ; but it was the law, and not Lord Derby, who would have to decide that question. He (Mr. Beales) would like to know how their demon stration differed from any Royal or municipal pro cessions. He would tell Lord Derby who were the men that were responsible for any breach of law and order. It was the party who foolishly, obsti nately, and selfishly resisted the just claims of the people, and sought to maintain class interests. Why, even Lord Russell was so carried away by clue feelings and oligarchical prejudices as to declare that manhood suffrage and the ballot, which had been declared for at large meetings, through the length and breadth of the land, had not a single supporter in either House of Parliament. (Groans.) But Lord Derby had said that such con cessions would be equivalent to revolution. He (Mr. Beales) contended that the Government and the Parliament were at variance with the people. (Hear, hear.) To deny the people the rights they claimed was a violation of all common sense, law, and decency—political decency ; and he charged Lord Derby with violating the true principles of the Constitution. Mr. Beales concluded by deprecating any wish on the part of the Reform League to dis turb the public peace, but said that they would con tinue to agitate this question until the people of the United Kingdom had their full share of political power. (Loud cheers.) The Reform League Minstrels, at this stage of the proceedings, vocally rendered " The Reform League Chorus," which was received with loud cheers. Professor ROGERS, president of the Oxford Re form League, proposed the first resolution, as fol lows : " That this meeting consider it their duty to distinctly declare that no measure for the improvement of the representation of the people in Parliament will be satisfactory which is not based upon the principle of the people themselves being directly and personally so represented, instead of such representation being only virtual and sectional, and that such direct and real representation can only be effected by means of residential and registered manhood suffrage, protected in its free and honest exercise of the ballot." He said that they distrusted, and with good reason, the persons who had taunted them in the first place, and who now would mock them with a delusive promise, which, if carried out, would only be a mockery and a sham._ The object of the present meeting was to endeavour to secure those rights for the people of which they had so long been unjustly deprived. They wished the House of Commons to be elected by the nation ; and with regard to the House of Lords, they wished to ERE .Third Edition, is 2 vols., with Itlustraticus, XT I E lei AMERICA.
