MO. BRIGHT, LP., ON Not DiNagog.—The member
for Birmingham on Friday evening received an address
publicly presented to him at Rochdale by a number of
the workpeople of Menem John Bright and Brothers,
as • refutation of the "reports" in air...legion sleeting
his private character. Mr. Bright's conduct as an
employer having been gush as to meet their
"entire approval.,, Mr. Bright, M.P., in responding,
observed :--• I believe you have done well to hold this
meeting, not as bearing altogether upon my position
with regard to it, but as concerning your own, for rely
upon it the slanders that were uttered against me bad the
effect in some degree of reaching and damaging you—
(hear). Clearly if it were true that we were the
oppressors of those who lived star us, and
to whom weekly we paid wages, you were the
oppressed; for there can't be one class without
the other. If we were tyrants and unjust, clearly you
were slaves and the victims of injustice ; and if we
were devoid of conscience, you were proved to be devoid
of independence, in that you suffered and klerated in-
justice from which you could not escape, and which you
had not even the courage to resent. You know, every
man and woman in this assembly knows, every honour-
able man in Rochdale know., that there is not a
hallos. or • shape of Inundation for the charges that
bare been made agait st sue. To those who live in
this neighbourhood, even--I should say, to a large
portion of my countrymen, judging either from my
ife at home or toy public career, they might have
ound a sufficient answer to those charges. Whence
swine thesc charges and these slander.' They come
openly and chiedy from obscure mu, tio Tory
ranks. Occasionally you hear of them frnett some
s,bacure man who, by accident of party. hoe been raised
for a few months into the position of. Minister of the
Crown. Our amailaets, if you examine the matter for
a moment, you will find, are the monopolists of political
power it. this country, and the base creatures who for
elfish purpose. are found crawling about them. Wt at
• amy crime? That I have resisted this inonnroly of
pewee ; that since the first hour that I stepped upon a
public platform mid took part in political questions I
have pleaded for the rights of the millions of the people
of this country. All I ask is that you may be heard in
the hall where it is said the representatives of the people
ore stcosuatomod to assemble. It is mainly because I
have put in this claim fur the people that I have been
bus assailed."
