axe bkaly to look on with an amount of favour. Bemuse is

opinion is, that notwithstanding toe great number cf pT-

Let w c 'urine ourselves to the peso ical and give up the theo-

take care that is our enthusiasm we do sot rush
into error, end I believe that before long we
will Orals the propositions which this association sp•
proves of and upholds. (" Hear, hear," and cheers 1 Give
the poi•le more power and means to obtain what they
believe to be necessary, and the conviction that I hold as •
faith will be monstrated, namely, met the true sad per-
manent foundation or all valuable insitutions is to be found
In the general eoncurresce of the intelligence and virtue of a
nation. (Loud cheers, amidst which the ben. gentleman re-
tained his seat.)

Dr. BOWKETT nest addressed the conference, and
urged IL* Denali: of freehold land societies, as ales budding
Societies.
Mr FRASER. of Ipswich, said it was generally believed

wich was lo.ked up.ta as see, and they had contested seve-

Mr. I ILLEY, of Bri.luenottb, suggestid that they
should eonceo-rate thir etforte, that two or three counties
sh,tll3 be dalootoi, sad be had no doubt there would be
found a sufficient camber of parsons ready to buy qualifeee-
boas io them.

Mr. BRIGHT eisapprowd of this suggestion, urging as a

which wets ealkd loch by a similar course of viaduct being
rased by the League in the last 3 ear of i e existence, when

l e 011,40.te1t was am put and carried usariseusly.
Mr. WHIT WELL of Peterberaagh, then moved:
That it be reccunitended to the e.taned at the National Reform As-
loci-moo that period cat puhlieeti..n be eatabiasheil and circulated
amour • he mun'aere of the society, mad that an editor and literary ea-
Loma be epteentL4 to conduct the leek.

He thought It bettor. he said, th they should establish a
journal of their owa rather than p Ironies any newspaper.
Mr. BUNTING, of Norwich, seconded. It was a matter
they had thought of in Norwich, ard to some extent they
had =Tried it into execution Unfortucately, hownew, the
atomp-tflics interfered sad stopped them.
Hr. LINWOOD thought the periodical should be under
the control of the council, end should co forth ti the public
armed with the aalherity of the canned.
The CHAIRMAN said ibis subject had been under the
cowl& ratios of the council for f Onlo time, and a literary
committee bad been appointed for the purpose. Bat bet=
they could decide on that question, the great question intro-
duced itself, what would it c .st ? That had stayed them so
far, bat doubtless, as die conference thought there should be
suck a patgivetion, it would sustain them and enable them
to carry it mat.
The reeolation was then put and serried.
Mr. THOMAS CLARK moved—
That the maned be respecnilly requested to prepare a 11111 contain..
ing the plan al mike= proposed by the emaciation, with a view to its
introMetionia that shape to monument.
Mr. TILLE rr seconded the motion. He believed it to
be of great importance. He knew that in several parts of
the country great misapprehension existed as to the rating.
Mr. I'ARRY o'murved that a gnat deal had been said in
reference to tenements the rates of which were compounded
for by the landlords. He suggested that the return should
distinguish the number of houses compounded for at the
rent of 10i alter.
Mr. of Aberdeen, remarked that the
franchise from rating did not apply to Scotland, in aa much
as the poor rate in that country was not on the houses, but
on .• means and substance ;" and many paid an rote at all.
It wee for this reason he believed that the association had as
yet met with little support in Scotland, as it was supposed to
obtain the franchise they would kyr* to be rated, but he wa
not of that opinion.
The CHAIRMAN said the intention was that there
should be an occupying franchise, and in order to oleoresin
who were the occupants, they pro,seed to make use of the
machinery they had in their li.nds. all houses being
liable to be rated. Of coarse, U that machinery
did not apply to Scotland, there must be another
mole ad...pterl in that country, applying the same prieciple.
The Rev. Mr. WORRALL, Kept= minister of Bethnal-
green, said be believed many of the workingmen in his
neiglibearhood entirely misconceived the objects of this amo-
dation. Many of them were chartists, and he was one, but
one of that sort who were willing to co-operate with a society
like this, believing, as be did, that it was the only legitimate
course they could take,

•
Mr. HACKMAN said he was a working man, living at
Bethnal green, and he could not deny that there were
many working men at Bethaal.green who did not know the
objects of the association, but there was a great number that'
did. Acting oa the advice of Sir W.bert Peel to his party
eons Titers ago, they had attended to the regis•
tee, and placed hundreds of names on it. (Henri keert)
Mr. BANNISTER, of Notting hill, said that they bad
ibinied a registratioa society in that district, the effect of
which was, that they plated 45 persons on the registry last
year, sod of whom were liberals (Hear.)
Mr. STYLE, of Hackney, said that ha was a chartist, sod
Jut did not cow there to create any division, but he must
*nerve that he knew acme local associations which were
broken up in consequence of a feeling amongst the working
amen that they were not represented in the council by reason
of the property qualification which was required in order to
le placed upon it. It might be said that by subscribing 101.
the local associations could send a representative, bet the
morkiag men had nut the ability to do so.
The resoluta... was then carried unanimously.
Mr. THWAITEB moved the neat resolution. He said
that at the morning sitting he had called attention to the
!salty connotation of their council (Hear, hear.) His
niOIIVPS might be misinterpreted in bringing forward seek a
anbjeot, but it was of so much importance to the two in
which they were engaged that be felt himself justified in
taking that stop. He desired to propose the following Ism-
fiction
