It is intended that the Club shall be provided with News Rooms,
and Public Committee Meeting Rooms together with such other
accommodation as the Council from time to time may consider
necessary for the convenience of the members, in order that the
Reformers of Liverpool may be induced habitually to assemble
ogether for the discussion of public measures and public .---
exr and

_pose ahuseb, confer and co-operate for their remedy,—con-
stitute a rallying point from which the agitation of measures of
reform can be directed,—and generally to render effective aid to the
Liberal party of each ward during the various contested elections
therein.

In order to r

posed to hold Periodical Meetings of the members, to consider the
various political topics of the day, •whether they be national, or
more immediately connected with the Town of Liverpool, whereby
the opportunity will be afforded of publicly discussing the measures,
and the Representatives, whether Parliamentary, Municipal, or
Parochial, will have the advantage and benefit of the expressed
opinions of their constituents.
The entire absence, and consequent loss of power, of other than
individual conununication between the Electors, and the Elected
has been long felt; and the utter want of organisation has virtually
denrived the _

ucrat party ox its real ength, because that strength
has been allowed to remain unknown. These, and other defects, it
is expected the Council will afford easy means of remedying. The
advantages of such an institution must be manifest to all who take
an interest in public affairs, and cannot fail to merit the co-opera-
tion and support of the great body of the Reformers of the town.
On questions of a political and parliamentary nature, the direct
operation of the centralised force of such an institution will, it is
hoped, be recognised as a great and powerful auxiliary to the
Reform Association already in existence, without in any way inter-
fering with its valuable labours and usefulness.
The management of the Club is vested in a Council of sixty-four
members,—one half elected from the body of the Olub in public
meeting assenrhied, and the remainder from the Wards, in propor-
tion of two from,eash Ward in the Town.

The Club will be
.registered under the Limited ia‘ i rty Agt ; the
responsibility of ire mere will be limited to the amount of Their
nbscriptions.
Prospectuses may be -Imd, and members' names enrolled at the
temporary offices of the .Clui,, where further information will be
