Sir J. WALMILMI', 11. P., mid—l appear before you so

omen sad determined la the came of refers, who had
peweed, by their anumedent sedan that they were *
senses, sat to fees aa asseletits for the panics of pro-
maw a amendea, • wide erteselea of the Eremitic*.
Those inatlessea sea gathered mead the. man of singlet
spikes sod views to themselves, and after mature sad
deep deliberation, they formed what they believed to be
$ nimble to be enunciatedand sent forth to
bei
the of this_ nutty. I should say, ea their 7;•
that they diadalemn anything that is new en
tiftesse=gles, ter they was old as the hills. They were
y able and eloquent ENS years good by, by he
geed sad the great Selman all secileas el society, who have
sought to obtain judos for the people. Upon that basis
was en aesodatice forced—epos that beds will it be canted
at--sad 1 stand here to pledge unlit; sad to pledge the
essociatims, honestly and &sly, aad daildnly, to carry out
the views I shell have the noose to lay bedere you, sad
never to cease until we have don maple justice, to the
of this cionany. (Lead •&Wane.) My friends, we
bonnie
essigh of nams—(kese)--end I trust the people
of this country will never again submit to soother sham,
such so that we had fa 1832. (Applause.) The pending
the asseciatioa ken put out are to the following affect.
Fiat, rich an exten.ds, of the franchise es will confer
the right to be registered as an *lector upon every man
of fell sett, not subject to say legal disability, who, tor
twelve menthe, shall have templed any tenement, or
portico of • tenement, for which he shall ban ben rated,
or shall claim to be rated, for the relief of the poor. (Ap-
plause.) Now, gentlemen, I may be met, sad probably
shall, with the mention that this is not prineiple. I know
it; but is is the closest approximation to principle that we
are likely to attain to for • time. (Applause.) I never
hesitate to my this—that when we have Nathan than who
sea give us the measure we now ask that we deserve it, I
trust and hope that we shell be able at the same time to
envies them that we deserve mom (Hear.) To my
fellow mem, who cell themselves advocates of man-
hood suffrage—to those who call themselves adenine
of the charter—to all who go further than some others
go—( I say sot how far I should go)-1 should fay to
them that coact mica is not compromise. Let them take
that home. 1 ask no man to give up the chattel
(Applause.) I recommend no man, that oonseisatiosely
advocates the charter, to give up that riutiPiL I defy
the Ina ban, or anywhere elm, to say that there is say
abreact propositioa la the chaster which be ma state to be
wrong. (Applause.) But Ido not stand here so an advo-
cate for the charter. I stand here to obtain the largest
possible easoust of justice for my fellow-men whisk I think
is likely to be obtained. (Applause.) Well, we seek also
the adoption of the vote by ballot. (Applause.) It would
be folly for me, in this great city, to attempt to dilate upon
the advantages that would follow the adoption of the ballot.
Every man feels, at least great numben of yea feel—you
have telt the iron aster into your seal when you could set
vote by ballot. (Cries of " Aye.") And let me my to you,
Ido not accuse one elsse sore than another—(ear)- as
regards the sue of intimidation and coercion; for I believe
that among the tall chirenei s, I believe that in this great
Sty, there is as mach intimidation as we complain of among
the territorial eligareby. Men are too apt, eves good men '
sometimes, to think they have a right to make what ass
they can of what they deem their just infinities. I deay
their right. I say it is an act of Werke, it ran act of
wickedness, to din a man a vote, and not 'attain him
is the des nerds of it. (Applause.) The third sopa'.
tin we have is the limitation of the duration of parliaments
to three yeses. (Applause.) Many persons will see the
desirables's of this. Short reckonings—in a sommereial
country, at least, we unnamed the qamtion--short reckon. I
Inge make lung friends. (Applause.) We seek, too, 1111611 11
a change is the arrangement of the electoral districts u will
✓edoes • more noel apportionment of representatives to
1 tosimituents, and we consider this more Important than
the other three propositions. For I tell you—end I tell
you after having well thought upon the question—that I
would give you the extension of the suffrage, and the '
vote by ballot, and triennial parliaments, end alt '
the rest of the poi is you may desire; but allow me to'
retain the electoral districts ia their present unfair,'
unjust, and unequal state, and I will best you sompletely.
Therefore, whatever may be offered to you, bear Ibis'
in mind, an equal apportionment of members to
the population, that is the important Tustin for you to
cociester. Therefore, never be sajuled, never be turned
Iron year pewee fur one mends. That is the meet
' important point which I have named. That is the last
stronghold which you will have to fight against. That is
the great citadel of the oligarchy, whether whip or tortes.
1 We deal not with them as men, we deal with them as a sys-
tem, a cuatinely-devised fable, which 11115 been contrived to
cheat the people of this country out el their birthright; that
taxes this people unfairly sad unjustly, in order teat they
may divide the whole of the profits and emoluments of
the country unapt themselves and their depend.

better. Let us understand each other better; sad
let us no Sager have those divisions between the
upper and the Industrial classes that we hitherto have had.
(Applause.) I my to the industrial classes, treat the upper
dosses wits kinds's; treat them with all the coneideratioa
they deserve. Endeavour to know sad to weelerstand thus.
There is mush of good amosgsi them. I beano there is

ourselves in oar prejudices, es they do In their mantles,
and we keep aloof irons them. Ido sot blame you for
what you have done. They have deserved it at your
hands, many of them. But 1 believe a different spirit
is arising. I believe they begin to appreciate the indus-
trial classes; and if you will show them you deserve it,
they will mid sad help yea. I would say to the upper
Sasses of this country—Yoe have weaned, you have ler
