Mr. H
. ENRI P EARSON, solicitor, said I cordially
approve of the petition, and hope itbe passed
will
unanimously.
Mr. ABRAHAM--. 1 intend to propose two amend-
ments, arid shall commence .with that relative to the
registration of voters. Mr. A. here read his amend.
meta.
CHAIRMAN—My only reason for wishing the clause
proposed by Mr. Abraham to be omitted is, that as
the petition is eugrossed, it may be signed by those
present before leaving the room. The amendment
is one that is by no means objectionable, on the con-
trary we are all agreed upon it.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. J. Ross seconded Mr. Abraham's amend-
ment, but in a very low tone; and
Mr. JOSEPH B. HANSON, a weaver, in the crowd,
(one of the deputation of weavers who had been
invited by the Committee to attend the meeting,)
said, I feel a desire, along with my radical friends,
to promote the unanimity and good feeling which
seems to exist between the middle and lower classes
—and also to have the heart-cheering pleasure of
again lilting up my voice in public, to denounce a
rapacious clergy, and a powerful, ambitious, steel-
hearted, and blood-sucking aristocracy.—(Hear,
hear, and No, no.) To the want of a full, fair,
and free representation of the people, is to be attri-
buted the present degraded state of the population.
Taxes, the most obnoxious, and the most weighty
and oppressive, are levied by the aristocracy upon
the people, who are sunk into a state of poverty
unequalled in the history of any nation. Oh !
God ! the scenes of misery and wretchedness
which are daily to be witnessed in the country,
are most appalling. It would be a waste
of time to occupy your attention in endeavour-
ing to detail to you the workings of this ono x-
ious system—which are as plain as the su in
a clear midsummer's day. It is not rebellion, as Sir
Robert Peel told Mr. Hume in the House of Com-
mons, to resist that power, but patriotism; all power.
springs from the people ; and to them all power o
be-
longs. But it is evident that the people have n
more power in the direction of their affairs, than they
have in directing the stars in their orbits.--(Ar
plause and a laugh.) The burning.; throughout the
country have had a great effect in opening the eye
in
s
of the landowners. It is the notorious Ceete
Swing who has made so many Reformers.—(" No,
no,"—disapprobation and applause.) I congratur-
-
late the middle classes of this city on coming fo
ward so boldly to demand their rights—l was glad
to hear that truly patriotic man, Mr. Joseph Fergu
son, advocate the vote by ballot so warmly--with-
out which I consider all Reform a mere humbug.
Mr. J. FERGCSON.--I0 order to give unanimity to
the meeting, 1 shall support Mr. Abraham's amend-
ment. We all agree in principle, it is only going
further into detail. I think it had best be inserted;
if it can be ititerlined, it will be better than drawing
out a new petition.
The clause respecting the registering the nam
wit
es
free of expellee was added; and Mr. Abraham,
the ;advice of some friends near him, not ressing
p
the question of the duration of Parliament,
The CHAIRMAN then put the question that
theu t
petition be adopted, and it was carried unaniy ,
louse, followed 1,1
amidst the most rapturous app
three times three cheers.
'1 hed
. Mr. B. ABRAHAM again rose and Said
e wish
now to move a vote of thanks to the Chaironan.ler
his very able able and impartial conduct--(4,1!:
plause)—and thought it ought not to be pv.grued'i
a mere compliment of form. I trust (he enlip"&r:
Car-
that this is the beginning of a new sYsteal4, innee re.
lisle ; and that we shall henceforth fee c"'"e---
store between the middle and working clASSell;
(Cheers.) We have seen burnings at our
wit
doors ; and only a few days ago, I witnetise a .
more grief and horror than I can express,
body of the middle classes of this city proceeS
to its suburbs under the protection of the ber
