WID3TYINSTER.

Mr. J. S. Mill addressed another crowded meet-
ing of the electors and non-electors of Westmiester last
sight at the Racist Musiehall, Vieeect-eqoare. Mr.
THOMAS Huns= (the liberal candidate for Lambeth) clecu-
'pied the chair, mid I. ea eloquent speech, in which he
Waded to Mr. Mill's meat preetkal quallicatioos for the
aloe of member of parliament, he introduced the hoe. eon-
didatii to the meeting. He exhorted the electors, as they
loved their country, to do their duty on Woodsy or Tuesday
next.
Mr. Hughes being obliged to leave the chair, his place
was =espied by Mr. Winwarrox.
Mr. MILL, of rising, was received with load cheers. He
explained is about precisely the same terms 1111 he used
at St. James's-hall tee reasons that had induced him to
Dome forward and to meet the electors personally. He
geld that he accepted the oMen of candidate on the condi-
tion that he shield neither solicit ear buy votes. Them
was aa old saying, not altogether true, perhaps, that he who
buys will sell, and it was certainly not fair that a candidate
who did mot liaised to Nell the voters should be called
upon to buy them. This meeting had been called for the
purpose of giving what were termed the working (dames an
opportunity of seeing him sad asking him any queetioes.
He did not like the phreee " worideg awes," bemuse it
implied the existenos of non-working classes, and nobody in
this country had say buiiness to be idle. Indeed there was
a greener feeling smug those who coati afford to be idle
that they ought to be %edgily stop' eyed. There was
abusilent scope foe the nomad of education among the
richer classes se well as among the working men. For his
part he sever derived to be paid lir being idle or for work
which he did not do. His sympathies were all with
wackier people. (Cheers.) There was a much greater
&ideation than there ought to be between those who
worked with their head sad those who wagged with their
hands. It would probably be better for the head worke.a
if ably worked• little more with their hands ;it would be
better tor their health, it would tend to make them more
cheerful, and it would lead to increased human fellow feel-
ing sad public spirit. It was, perhaps, not generally knows
that he was one of the first persons in the kingdom who
had suggested the adoption of the principles of co-opera.

Pioneer@ society was established be wrote en article is the
Watatinefer Buieer, the object of which was to show
the radical party of the House of Commons,
Uwe almost en the eve of digeolutioe, how it
might be reconstructed and rendered more in liaison with the
radical' oat of doom. At that time the radieels in the
hoses did not go for ;mimed suffrage, while those out of
doors demanded nothing lees, and his object is writing that
article was to show the radical party in the house that the
best way of getting out of its difficulty was to redress the
practical grammes of the working classes, and he them
pointed oat the fact that by the operation of the then
eziatiog law co-operative societies amid not be established ;
when the law was altered, and co-operative societies were
eatabliehed, they went on with surprising rapidity, aid
• way was soon found by which the working classes
could raise themselves without pulling down anybody,
but, ea the outran', with avenue, not only to then-
@elves, but thew ealt7 at large. The principle of co-
operative societies went on extending itself, and the movie-
Mee of the truth of that principle eventually became so
strong that I found en advocate even in the pages of the
Quarterly Review. That implied an immense change in
public opinion ; the working men were in feet emancipated.
sod their cause was in their own hands. With respect to
the 'itemise of the suffrage, he went much further in his
views of the ceeeeseionis which he thought ought to be maxis
to working men than did sue those who sympathised warmly
with waking men, although, on the other hand, some might

a perfect government in which one class of the community
could legislate for another which was not represented, sad
he certainly agreed in the opinion that no man who wee
competent to image his own affairs ought to he without a
vote He thought the House of Commons ought to be
placed in the position of an arbitrator between outeading
interests, and that any mode which would secure the return
of one-half of the Ingraham who were devoted to the inte-
rests of the employed, the other half representing
landed property, capital and their sympethiners
would be in • position to reason justly on soy
grievous of the working msg. Clam distinctions
should be abolished were it was possible to do so ; but so
lug as they existed they ought to be fairly represented in
parliament. He would not permit the employer clue to be
represented in such • way as to be able to outvote the re-
presentatives of the employed, while so far as the suffrage
itself welt he themlit it ought to be given to ell persoes
of age who could write, god cypher. It was not likely
that he should be able to bring in a reform bill of his
own, but if returned be should give his attention to
the pleas of others, and be should stud by the
principles he bad laid down. At the same time
he would scout any selargement of the franchise se •
step in the right direetioe provided tney were not celled
upon to pay the price of a worse distribution. (Cheers.)
