RIOTOUS MEETING OF REFORMERS

AT PAISLEY.

[From The Glasgow Harald•]

GLASGOW, SEPTEMBER 13.

We are sorry to slate, lltatther • have been some illagrace-
fel disturbances at Paisley, the result of a public Meeting;
no lives, however, have been lost; and we trust it will be
found that, upon further inquiry, few persons have been
seriously hurt. Ample detaila.of the particulars will be
tumlt,' the subsequent columns.
It has been repeatedly stated, and therefore we suppose it
Ilene, that directions were issued from the Secretary of State's
Office to Ilse Magistrates generally, to preserve the peace, if
possible, on all occasions, by the civil power, and not to call
in the military but in the last emergency. Had this order
been reversed, and the public apprised that the military were
to be exclusively employed, we suspect that our late Meet-
ings would have been more thinly attended. We can
see no reason against calling out the military on every
occasion when the public peace is in danger; and it e. r-
tainly is will preposterous to see armed men, who are
paid by the public, lying snug in their barrack, while un-
armed citizens are called from their different occupations
to, make head against a mob. The anxiety which this occa-
sions.to the families of those conitables is in many aims very
great, and should not be inflicted without urgent necessity.
Every person who pays taxes in support of the army serves
by substitution ; and we have great doubts whether a Ma.
gistrate be warranted in calling upon any one to serve per-
sonally, unless upon a deficiency of the military. That the
military are the best preventive force, was completely illus-
trated by *hat took place at Paisley on Saturday. When it
was uuderidood thst the Magistrates were to depend upon
the constabulary solely, there was instwediasety formed a band
of men really to give them battle ; butt the moment that an
alarm was raised of the military advancing, the same band
were seen flying in all directions, without waiting to inquire
whether there were ten soldiers or ten hundred. Hail the
Magistrates taken a small military guard with them it is not
probable that a single flag would have been displayed in the
streets of Paisley, and thus all the wierhief have been
avoided. There is another consideration, too, that the dis-
ciplined soldier, while be performs his duty most Ifcc-
lividly, performs it also must mildly, because he tops the
munteut it is completed. On this ground we contend, that
when • Magistrate has two descriptioua of force at his com-
mand, it is menuthent nu him to employ in preference the
soldiers of the line, because they will most effectually ie.
establish the peace, and with the least possible violence.
We trust, then, that these qualms Mount employiug the mili-
tary will be abandoned, mid that the Magistrates will cease
to It aaaaa peaceable citizens, who pay fur others to protect
their lives mud properties, and consequently care entitled to
exemption (ruin all unisecessary service in their own persons.
If the military are inadequate to maintain the politic peace,
then there can be no doubt it is incumbent on every able-
bodied citizen to come forward with alacrity in support of
every thing that is valuable to us.
The want of cavalry barracks in Glasgow was severely
felt on Saturday night, when an express Caine in from Pais-
ley about eleven o'clock for the Oragouns. The men being
disposed ill /111111 WA, it was necessary to sound the bugle;
lint along with those for whom it was intended, it brought
all the blackguards iu the town to the streets. The horse-
men, we ate ashamed to say, were much inetilted, and we
have beard that one of them was considerably hurt. 'Flue
forbearance of the militaiy, which forms a prominent theme
in all the Reform Meetings, has raised an audaciousness
anion the mischievous, which we bhuul,l be happy to see
laid.

PAISLEY PUBLIC MF.ETING.
The postponed booting of the iuhabitauts of Paisley and
its neighliumbeod, " To express their sentiments on the
proceedings at Manchester,' took place ou Sal urday last ou
Meikleriggs Moor, about two miles smith-west hum
Pais-
'fie day was fine, and the numbers assembled were
great, perhaps from ten in twelve thousand. The hustings
were hung with black cloth, and all the speakers were dressed
in mourning. Mr. Taylor was ammimously called to the
Chair. It would be useless, and, we have little doubt, tire-
some to our readers, were we to follow 11w different speak-
ers through alt their ugly tirades ou the character and eon.
tiuci of the Manchester Magistrates and the Yronianry Ca-
valry. The speeches were all alike. We may select all the
•ile word. the English language so ruidomly affords, and
by these names were the Manchester authorities called;
and we may make a list of all the blood thirsty tyrants
who have appeared in the world, from Caligula downwards,
and to these men were they compared. The Meeting nt
Manchester was declared to be legal soil constitutional, and
therefore the Magistrates had brukea the IJirom mid murder-
ed their suffering, stewing, countrymen, their wilt( s and their
daughters. Great sorrow was espreiowil that the Prima.
Regent hail felt it necessary to ideutify himself with tlw
Maiichester Authorities, and that tuts on Cie evislenee of one
of 11w parties only. littisersal Ruff, age, Annual Parlia-
ments, and Election by Ballot, were, as usual, declared to
be the only remedies for the general sulferiog., amid all who
ascribed them to ally other cause, were characterised as

Committee nor tiny of the speakers expressed tiny thalamic,-

braised, and the showers of stoves were pouring un them
with increased fury, at half past ten o'clock the Riot Act
was read, and the Magistracy and *rein, constables, at rousse
hazard, went in all directions and loudly notified that this
had been done; at the same time an express was sent to
Glasgow for a detachment of cavalry, and the Reufrestsliire
Militia Staff were ordered to be in readiness. Afore the
lapse of an hour and a half, attiring which numerous nets of
viokacg on the et:imitable' were committed, the waist con-
stables, under the direction of the Sheriffs anal Blagistract,
