NATIONAL Ito 7F01:11 UNION.

A deputation from the National Reform Union
at Manchester attended at a conference held at the West-
minster Palace Hotel yesterday. The confen ace, at the
reque,t of the Union, was called by Mr. 8. Iltdux.v, who
took the (Moir. The object of the meeting was "to con-
sider the propriety of holding as soon as possi.,:e public
meetit4u in London on the present position of the question
of reform in parliatnent.' About ufty gentlemen were
present, including Mr. Ayrton, M.l'., Mr. Taylor, ALP.,
Mr. T. ire, M.P., Mr. Gilpin, M.l'., Mr. Stansfeld,
Sir H. Hoare, Mr. T. Mason Janes, Mr. Bcdet, Mr. George
Potter. Jia,. . . .

_ _ .....
The CHAIRMAN explained that the meeting was not held
le olio...idea to the Reform League. It was thought, how-
ever, I t the middle classes had not had the opportunity
of expr...-aing thenteelves during the late reform agitation,
becaehe they were reluctant to go as far as the League in
their advocacy of manhood suffrage. The meeting was called
to eon:Mier whether it was not necessary to hold a series of
meetings in Loudon in support of the objects of the
National Worm Ui ion, namely, household suffritge pure
and simile, with the ballot, and a euhmtantial 10.14er fran-
chise. He was unable to express his extreme discourage-
ment as to the prcaent position of the liberal party. He
urzed all earnest seen at once to begin a fresh siltation.
(Cheers.) The division of Thursday night virtually handed
ever the elections to the landlords. He admired the wise,
safe, mid noigniticent moderation of Mr. litotes and the
working slams during the past eis months, and wished it
to be distinctly understood that the object of the present
movement was not to introduce discord into the reform
party liyopposing any eels lug ortinisation. (Cheers.)
Mr. P.A. TAILOR. K P., said he was a member o' the Na-
tional Reform Union as well as the Reform Leapt. The wet k-
ing clasps had done their duty both in their activity and
moderation. The middle classes hail not fulfilled their
duty in regard to activity. The House of Commons did
not desire reform. There were not 50 members who with-
out pressure would support reform. thifortimatdy there
hail been HO practical point upon which the recent reform
meeting. Ind joined in aiming with any chance of sue-
cots. The tones gave the definite phrase that was re-
quired warn their leader prononced the words " house-
hold suffrage." If the liberals had kept Mr. Disraeli to
that they would have adopted a triumphant policy. He
did not speak with authonty, but he believed the Reform
League would not object to accept household satirize as
an instalment. Mr. Gladstone and his party male a great
mistake when, instead of taking up the words •• house-
hold AllirrAn''o" with which Providence had supplied them,,
they began to talk obou t theirfears and a til. rating. He (Mr.
Taylor)• was one of the tea-room party, and was not
ashemed of it. Mr. taailstetie's propositions WI to the 51.
rating was the introduction of the wedge that had split
the party asunder. He should heartily support a move-
ment that aimed at household suffrage pure and simple.
(Cheers.)
The deputation from Manchester (Messrs. W. War-
burton, Waters, and J. It. Tore) explained the objects of
the anima they represented and of the conference. Froze
their remark. it appeared they considered the objects of
the Reform League were too advanced fog the middle
classes of London, and hail therefore determined to hold
large meetings in the chief theatres—Covent-garden and
Drury.huse—to give the middle classes an opportunity of
expressing their opinions upon the refermrpiestion. They
repudiated any idea of opposition to the Reform League,
whose zeal and work they admired and readily acknow-
ledged. One of the deputation (Mr. .1. It. Ton-, a
barrister of the Northern Circuit) said plainly that the
league had failed to occurs middle-class support, owing
to the aatremity of their programme, and that one-half of
the league died with the political death of Mr. Walpole,
who had given them an opportunity they would never
have again. It was pointed out also that the If &theta
Reforni Union advocated a redistribution of seats.

Sir H. HOAICII warmly urged that the division in the
Haute of Commons on the previous night threatened the
suppot tens of the working classes with entire extinction.
It was now the duty of large publics meetings to declare
that if this infamous Lill was carried they would not rest
until they had admitted compound householders to their
full rights. (Cheers.)
Mr. DaLIiMER Mogan denied that the Reform League
would accept household suffrage, and argued that it would
b. difficult to rouse the middle classes at this tmie of the
year.
Mr. R. Pore called upon all reformers to tell the country
in unmistakeable terms that the termination of Thursday
night's debate was the signal fur a fresh and determined
erlisnization. (Cheers.)
.

Mr. E. Iltat.na, in a lengthy speech, argued in support
of the Reform League; regretted that there were no work-
ing men at the conference ; predicted failure to the Na-
tional Reform Union if they attempted to set up their
primiplesagainst those of the Reform League ; implored
she meeting to defer its decision • wondered what the con-
ference was celled for; and said that if the Union held
meetings in London it would be a most mischievous thing,
and would very likely bring the worling classes' "swarm-
ing u; Mist them."
A vigorous diminution followed, daring which the chair-
man declared that he had the interest of the working men
at heart as much as Mr. Reales ; others intimated that
the Union had not called the conference to ask permission
to hold,meetings in London : Mr. Connington and other
members of the Reform League expressed their cer-
tainty that the proposed arrangements of the Reform
Union would fail ; sod on the motion of Mr. Ayrton,
seconded by. Mr. Deputy Ibeml, it was. determined
tl hold meetings in fartheranee of the prieuples of the
National Reform Union. This resolution was not passed
without some hot discuasion' amounting at one time to a
personaj altercation, which ended in Mr. Reale+ being
promptly wile I to order. Ultimately all parties were
brought into harmony, n committee was appoio tc 1, and the
meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman.
