T a PUBLIC MEETING of the ELEC-
TORS and WORKING MEN of KENDAL, held at
the Odd. Fellows Hall, on the 9th February, to take into con-
sideration the SPEECH of Mr. G. W. WOOD, the repre-
sentative of this Borough, on seconding the Address to the
Queen, the following resolutions were passed unanimously :-
1. That this meeting of Electors and Working Men of
Kendal, has heard with indignation that part of Mr. Wood's
speech on seconding the Address to the Queen, in which he
alludes to the state of the manufactures of this kingdom,
that instead of being in a " satisfactory state," as asserted
by Mr. Wood, this meeting believes them to be in a most
alarming and precarious state ; and tha. this position may be
est tbilshed I y Mr. Wood's own delusive returns as given in his
speech in proof of the opposite opinion. That this meeting has
heard with still deeper indignation and contempt the conclud-
ing part of Mr. Wood's speech, in which he contradicts
former statements, and while he admits that our mantea

are in a precarious state, imputes to the master manufacturers a
desire to remedy the evil b depressing the wages of the la-
bourer, which this meeting believes to be a libel upon the entire
body of the master manufacturers.
I P. That this Meeting believes that Mr. Wood, as President
of the Chamber of Commerce in Manchester, and as the Re pre-
sentative of this Reform Constitueney, has inflicted irreparable
injury, by the speech aforesaid, upon the great cause of the
nation—the Repeal of the iniquitous Corn-laws : as his state-
ments with regard to the prosperity of our manufactui es have
afforded to the advocates of the Corn-laws a powerful argument
in their defence ;—while his declaration that the master manu-
facturers desire to depress the wages of the labourer, is calcu-
lated to create suspicion and coldness in the cause of repeal
among the Working Class.
3. That this meeting, taking into its consideration Mr.
Wcorl's conduct on this and on some former occasions, during
his connection with this borough, feels hound to declare its total
want of confidence in Mr. Wood's ability and sincerity; and
that it deems him an improper person to present and support
the petition from the inhabitants of Kendal, praying for a total
Repeal of the Corn-laws.
. . _ _

4. That this Meeting urgently recommends to the Liberal
Electors of Kendal the necessity of justifying themselves before
. .

the Public, by requiring Mr. 'Wood to resign the post of
Representative of this Borough, to the responsibilities of which
he has proved himself so unequal; and of making immediate
preparation for the Election of a Successor, who may conciliate
the confidence and support of all true Reformers in this Bo-
rough.

5.
That this meeting requests that the petition for the total
repeal of the Corn-laws, which has obtained our signatures, be
presented by Mr. Villiers, with thanks to him for his manly
stand against the mischievous statements of Mr. Wood.
6. That the rer,olutions of this meeting be communicated to
the Chairman of the Anti-Corn-law Delegates in London ;
and to The Sun, Morning Chronicle, and Northern Star,
Newspaprs.

7. Iliat the thanks of the meeting be given to the Chair-
man for his manly and straight-forward conduct on this

occasion,

LONDON :
MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 11, 1339.

(EVENING EDITION.)

Prompt justice has been done by the men of
Kendal on Mr. WOOD. In another part of our
paper will be found the resolutions come to by a
body of the inhabitants of Kendal, including some
of his constituents, calling on him to resign the
trust whiCli they think, by his injudicious observa-
tions in the House of Commons on Tuesday, he has
t)ctrayed. Ail excellent warning this to slippery
advocates of the Corn law Repeal. The Council
of the borough will meet on Wednesday especially
and separately to enter into similar resolutions.
The people of Kendal are justly indignant against
Mr. WOOD for aspersing the master manufacturers,
and 1,„
their speedy censuro have taught him a les-
son which our columns would never have impressed
(,).1' him. If other constituencies would but act in
flee noble manner—let those who represent them fill
hatever stations they may, be they ever so high
fn the Cabinet or the State—we should have
civic traitors in the Liberal camp, and the people
ght yet secure for themselves, speedy, effectual,
and safe Reform. Great honour to the men of
Kendal
The d,

4etermined opposition made by the selfish
landlords, with a true dog-in-the-manger policy, to
the Abolition of the Corn-laws, for those laws pinch
themselves while they starve the people, makes it
necessary to continue our best exertions, and to call
on the people to continue their exertions, to save the
