Because the people know that to petition the Houseaof
Commons, as it is now constituted, would he Only moon-
shine. The only way to-get a fair day's ivagea for a fair
day's wo:k is to take the power into our own hands We
produce the wealth of the country, and a kay gormaed:zieg
ricketty old men and women consume all the wealth of the
country, and now they tell us we bevy en overwhebnirg
population, and they are sending
.Marcie 3 with hiS gasometer
to destroy them. If there is an over-population in. the =-
try, don't you think it would be wisdom to destroy tire :it
of it which produces nothing ?a-(Cheering. ) If tie
not sufficient in this country to keep the people,-it e cal
be wisdom to destroy those who consume all, and prueerve
these who produce Cheers.) Cut off the men
their tens of thousands a-year, and would noteeven
our youthful Queen with "her 200,000/. Our Queen to e:
to be a nursing mother to her people, but she is surr, teeied
by a tag-rag and bobtail, that woe', la the cries of the
people reach her. Therefore she is not to blame, ter! ilte
only way of getting access to the Queen, is by rooting Oct
on etc side all the rubbish about her.—( Cheer;.
speaking in a similar strain at consHerable lengtll, Ale
concluded by sA.onding the Amendment.
The Rcv. Mr. JACKSON (who was eairl to be a Methee
minister) next ad !rased the meeting. He said he wrote
aresent at the commencement, but lie should have heel:
happy to have heard and seen what transpired in order thee
might have known it for himself. He really did think the
people might say with the strictest propriety, that they 1.:1,1
this day put the Whigs in the back ground.—( Cheers.) Tiley
were at all times able to beat the Whig faction when
public had anything to do with the matter. He rejoieerl
that they a are beaten—they bad lost the battle, and if sloee
were allowed the privilege of fighting with the people
again, they must stand in the front ranks.--(Cheers.)
He hoped the people of Manchester had the spirit and
determination to abide by the first principles of Ra•li-
calism and to carry out those principles of universal liberty
in England amangst British subjects.—(Cheers.) Mr.
Stephens was now placed in a very awkward predica-
ment, and if one party had had more to do with his
prensioc than another they were the base Whigea--
( Cheers.) What would the Corn-laws do for the people
if repealed ?—( Cries of " Nothing.") If they, wee°
• repealed, *ages would be reduced in proportion.
It might be easy to enact the Corn-laws again if fie,
ped did not answer, but it would be ha d- work to beiee u
wages again.-_ (Cheers, end cries of ".That!s sa-u a")
elle was for the repeal of the 'Corit-laws, if they ceelrl gr:t
Universal Suffrage at the same time; let until thLr. was
Obtained be ;Could cot •sanction the repeal ef the Cornalewe,
He therefore Moved that Unie'ersal Steffragee V..ote Bal-
rot, &e., lx: the obj•?et of this meeting eeerat that it is the
determination of this meeting to carry out those fueda-
tu ntat principles which are essentially necessary to the
salvation of the country—( Hear, and greet cheering. )
NIGH, FIN-GALE seconded the motion, which was put
