hoped the eltarCets would he content to unite with them
for these. (Cries that won't do," and interruption for
sonic unite's...) Ile hoped they might get all they wonted,
All he asked of them was, to bury minor ilitfereoci s, in
order. Oust ter y roielit more suceemtully unite oloitiod the

seconding the resolution.
Mr. Hussar Jouss, the chartist leader, mentioned some
ohjecti,na to the r.oolutiva, and entered into en advocacy of
thu people's charter. Mr. Hume bail told them that he
was oppes:ol t annual parliaments, because a man could not
learn the busioess of a at:theme:l in so short a lime. Now,
he (Mr. J ) considered that honesty and sound 5005 e were
things that they did not require to go to school fur, and that
there vas much less danger in granting than is withholdiodng
the chub r. Those gentlemen who talkA of re
ther.tore, Moe ad themselves afraid of wer—(" Oh, oh ")
aught nit io hlee a: tempted tO create disturbance by ming-
ling policemen with that meeting. He could toll thew that
they wee en the eve of a revAutien—(ironical cheers)—nays
they were in a rev ilution which nothing could termioate but
the mOverst of the present ruth n system, and the adoption
of th._ prainit'it char or. Let all who were in fav,ur of it,
whete and ettire, hold up their hands. (A uumbor of the
people in the body of the boililiog did so.)

and streogli which was me. ssary to overthrow these op•
press,irs. The time was come when sensible men of all par-
tite ought t i matte sad set aside petty differences for the
general pu.)lic good. The geatlemen who had originated
this m- !414 proposed to start a movement in order to get
increftit IS p twee hie the people, and without surrendering
one tots of the charter, he was ready cordially to 55 operate
with t;.ens. (Cheers.)
Air SennitOW declared himself to be a chartist, but was
willing to ',lie the co-operation aril assistance which could
be ohtailied tr, m the present meeting. Ile therefore should
give his c.irdia: support to the (mains) rmolutions
Mr. YettsoN would net sacrifice the charter at the shrine
of ex-:edience.
Mr M. Mar proposed another amendment, declaring
that they ought only to go for the whole six points ut the
charter. (('heers.)
Great centit,ion f towed, and at one time two or three
parties were attempting to address the meeting At length, a
Mr M'Octus obtained a hearhig for a few minutes, end
urged tne Sc eptaliec of a " good imitalmeut" of the debt.
Mr. B. Cy BRUIN, who was saluted with hisses and low)
cries of •• Who run ass, ?" swat essays dto speak. lie was
understood to advocate the original resolution, on the
ground thst h iusehold suffrage would bas a valuable conces-
sion. 'though be had not much c mfitlence in tho middle
classes, he was anxious to give them a fair trial. Ile would
or
Doren to Mr. Hume that be would secure greater supp
to beia resolutions by adding bithe film points which thty em-
t
breced, the nun-omperty qualification.
The Hon. T. Di seaN urged the meeting to pause and
coml. er whether the obj-et tor which they were I sing their
time in aaitatiou was really of the impottance they supp.atd.
(Great disapprobation.) But two days ago, in ano ighbour-
mg oow.try, the very men recently elected by universal sot-
fnage had "ten expo lied tram the hell in which they stet.
(Heir.) In se.ktng !or universal suffrage, perhaps the work-
ing classes did not recollect that, etoog with it. they would
be subject to the duty of serving on juries. (Great laugh-
ter.) Why not begin at the beginning, by asking that three
who were van& d to serve on juries should hove the fran•
chisel (Great doeoprobstion, and cries of •' Off, off.")
Atter another interval of great confusion, during which
one or two peewits umuccesstully attempted to make them-
selves beard,
Mr Wins, the under sheriff, read the resolution arid
first amendment, and
Mr Sheriff Critic? then put the amendment, but very
few hands were held up in its favour.
The •econt am nilment in favour of the full mix points of
the charter was, then read, in order to le; ut.
Mr. MUMS, M satd be had proposedthe original rev-
lutiort a iqt a view to secure the union of all classes of re-
formers against thoe who opposed all reform, and not because
he disapproved of any of the points in the people's charter.
There wore a c,rtoin number of persons who were bringing
forward an impracticable proposition. (" Hear, hear," and
"No, no.") If they wished to at' sin the end they had in
view lit them nut rep et union and co-operat on. (Cheers.)
But if they wished to stop all reform, let them adopt the
amendment. It they found that they could not get over the
sole without as•ist nice, let them, as practical mu, avail
themselves of it. (Loud cheers, and cries eat "Nu surrender"
from the chartists.)
The nut: n•Mieut rf Mr. May was then put, and a very
large propirtion of the meeting held up their hands in its
Weer. The original resolution was next put, and received
the support of a majority of the meeting. Mr Sheriff Cubitt
decided that the orgi:.al motion was carried amidst loud
cheers, m:xed 55 esprmsions of dissatisfaction amcagat the
chartist portion of the meeting.
Oa Ins motion of Mr. Comma, it was resolved that peti-
tions be permuted to parliament embodying the sentiments
of the meeting.
Mr. Huns moved a vote of thanks to the sheriffs, and the
:netting separated.
