A meeting of the supporters of Mr. John Smith, was held
at Weston's 95, Park-lane, last night. The chair was
taken by Mr.'MMILLEN. Among the gentlemen present were
Messrs Bell, Wright, Steele, Carpenter, Pepper. Lowe,
Lovell, Barlow, Thompson, M' Clelland, Doran, Heylock,
Kennedy,Campbell, Bennett, Maguire, Buggiano,Casey, Fitz-
gerald, M'Kenna, Rees, Jeffreys, Evans, Crowe, Williams,

&c. Some time having been occupied in making arrange-

rents for the polling this day,

Mr. BARLOW at the request of the Chairman, addressed
the Meeting. He reminded them that at nine o'clock next
day, the polling would commence, and he asked them whe-
ther on to-morrow they were to be placed in the minority:

STO, no."): For his own. part, he couldonlystiy

that if they were placed in that position, he should be
ashamed of his neighbours, and ashamed of Ward, but
not ashamed of the principles, which they had endeavoured
to inculcate upon the minds of the electors. (Hear, hear,
and applause.). Should they then, or should they not, ap-
ply to their work, to morrow morning like men ? He for
one would do so. (Applause.) He trusted, and he felt con-
vinced that before twelve o'clock to-morrow, if they all
worked properly, they would have convinced their oppo-
nents, that the Pitt-street Ward, was not as they imagined,
the rock of Gibraltar to them, but, that the liberal party in
that Ward could win it and retrieve their character. (Hear,

iplause.) They should endeavour to tale thC

Dad of then- opponents at-nine o'clock in the morning, and
o hold that position throughout the entire of the day.
Hear, hear.) Let no excuses, no causes whatever, lead
ny man to delay going to the poll until an advanced period
f the day, but let them all be there at nine o'clock, and
efore twelve they would be able to settle down to their

wn business, satisfied that the election was won. (Ap-
Ilause.) He need say nothing about the candidates, both of

whom were known to all of them. As to their opponent
he believed, that if more were known of him ho would be
less liked. Let them then send in a man as their represen-
tative, who could speak for them, and who would speak.
Who could work for them, and who would work, and who,
he fully believed, would let slip no opportunity of advanc-
the interests of that Ward, as well as the community of
Liverpool in general. (Applause.)
Mr

ANS thought one great reason why they should
.1% Mann was, to be found in the very fact, that
a he had been sent in from the Park to the Conn-
.ore, he absolutely went diametrically in opposition to
nterests of the people there, and voted for the removal
ie timber trade from that place to the north end, for

which reason principally, he believed, they would not have him
any longer in the Council. That fact proved that he was
not the man for the people. (Hear, hear). It proved very

clearly that he was not a man associated with the people
and that he did not know their wants. The snore they in-
vestigated his public character the less they had any reason
to estimate it, and the great reason why they should do all
which lay in their power to return Mr. John Smith, was
that they knew he had ever been the champion of the. people.
(Hear, hear). He was always most easly to be approached
by every one, and was just such a man as they wanted, and
one whom they would never have to bundle from the ward
for saying or 'doing anything in the Council which would
be opposed to their interests. (Hear, hear). They all
knew that his principles were right and just. They remem-
bered when Liverpool was sunk in Torysim, and he be-
lieved that Torysim never elevated any nation, and that all
the good which Englishmen enjoyed either in Church

or State they owed to the principles of Reform, that
nation never rose by any other means, and never shone in
such lustre or beauty as when the princip'es of true reform
began to prevail. (Cries of hear, hear, and loud applause).

Mr. REES JEFFREYS briefly stated, 'that out of 'seventeen
gentlemen in Park-lane, who had voted, as he and the meet-
ing.believed, upon the wrong side at the, last election, he

le number, would not alone vote, but would work heart

hand at 'the right side this 'time. (Applause

Mr: JEFFIIEYS said tbei would be certain to walk over
the Jones this time. (Hear, hear.) • .

BARLOW hoped 'the meeting would understand, that

i any remarks which were
Ir. Mann, there was nothin

ade that evening regarding
'hatever said, or intended to

be said, against his character as a private 'gentleman, but
merely that his public principles were not those which that
meeting would desire to see in the Council. (General cries
of hear, hear.)
The CHAIRMAN : We have nothing whatever to do with
him as a private gentleman. It is only his public character
with which we deal, as that of a gentleman who has come

did not come there to discuss the private character of any
eman. It was of men's public character that they
; and it was upon that ground that he said he had
heard of any one better qualified to represent that

than t

now b,

that meeting. (Hear, hear.) He was a man who had been
the great source of information upon most affairs to all
around him. They who knew anything were mainly in-
debted to him for their information. Not only the imme-
diate political questions, but all questions, his large mind
had embraced. Foibles or errors, if he had any, were
not observed in him ; they were not perceptible to

the general mass, for he kept them at home, and
only brought the large qualities of his mind before the
public. (Hear, hear). When any great occasion arose
which wanted a man, then he was to be found, and he had
the will, and the energy, and the soul to interpret it. (Re-
newed applause.) It was such a man they wanted—a man
who could represent their interests as he could do. If they
elected John Smith to-morrow, as the representative of
Pitt-street Ward, they would be not only doing a service to
themselves by electing a man who was qualified to represent
their interests and the interests of the town, but they would,
at the same time, be setting an example to every other Ward
in Liverpool. (Hear, hear, and loud applanse). He
looked upon it that by the very fact of the position they
1 up, they had already done a great deal to cause
warm to become vigorous, and those who
disposed to be idle ;

who were li

ho had, as They imagined, vested
k about them and attend to the

rinance of their duties, (Hear, hear). He had no
t that the stand they had taken would have the effect of
jouncil to be far more att
'ties for the future. (Hear, hear). Bat
i who came before the

iany in the C

tive than

they had been to th

vas not sufficient

Wards as candidates, must be men not seeking to bias any
of the electors ; but men who took up the duty with a full
sense of the responsibility which the election would entail
upon them, and men who, when returned, would use their•
exertions for the benefit of the town. (Hear, hear).

'Mr. HAYLOCK said the time for the eleCtion was so-near at
mud, that they could not devote much of it to making
ipeeches, but should give their energies a practical direction.

If there was any gentleman who-felt it his duty to aid in
return of a good man to the Council, to protect
the lirge estates which he perceived were spoken of by Mr.
Mann in his address, and he who had not yet come forward
to offer them his assistance, he trusted that that gentleman
would now come forward before the meeting separated, and

declare that he was willing to devote the Saturday, although
the most important business day, and render all the assistance
he could in the promotion of the good cause, and in carrying
out the principle which they had always professed : and if
they Nv

Ildetermined to -give their aid in that manner
md- to work as they ought, there could be no doubt that they
would return their man by a triumphant majority. (Hear,
hear, and loud applause). It was quite evident from the
3hange it

the toile of feeling in that ward since the last
!lectien that the means were within their grasp, and that it
would be their own fault if they were not successful. (Hear,
hear.) It was quite evident, from what he had heard
stated by gentlemen who took an active part in the business
of that ward, that a great many of those who voted for Mr.
Jeffreys at the last election did so from respect for his amiable
and gentlemanly private character, but they now felt that
their public duty would induce and compel them to vote for
the best man at this present election, irrespectve of friendly
feeling altogether. He was therefore satisfied that many
who voted for Mr. Jefferys at the late election would now not
only vote but cordially work to secure the return of Mr.
John Smith. (Hear, hear). If, therefore, that meeting
kept up the steam which had been generated that night,
they would win the race to-morrow, and before long they
would go-ahead. (Hear, hear, cheers, and laughter).
Mr. THOMPSON briefly addressed the meeting, stating that
the result of the election would show that the Pitt Street
Ward was not designed to be always Tory-ridden, as they

rad been before, for they were determined to retrieve theijr
haracters to-morrow, and by industry, perseverance, and
arnest work to place Mr. John Smith at the head of the
)01l by an overwhelming majority, and show the Town
)ouncil they could send 11.1 a man who would be a check

upon their actions. (Hear, hear, and loud applause). They
did not mean to say anything derogatory to the private
character of any gentleman, for they acted altogether upon
public grounds. He trusted that they would all do their
duty at. the election, and place Mr. John Smith before 12
o'clock in such a majority as would strike terror into the
hearts of all their opponents. (Hear, hear, and loud applause).
Mr. M'CLELLAND, who acted as vice-president to the
meeting, next spoke. He had no objection whatever to Mr.
Mann. He should be excedingly delighted that Mr. Mann

;uhi go into the Council, buf not that time. (Hear, hear.)
ey said seniores priores. (Laughter.) Mr. Smith first,
1 Mr. Mann as soon after as he could get in. (Laughter,
loud applause.) Let it not be understood for one mo-
nt that the Pitt-street Ward Reform Association, or any
tuber of that committee, or any gentleman was anxious to
urn Mr. Smith to the Town Council, meant to say a

e word against Mr. Mai
r, hear.) He was a

when he was in the

ivate character.
