I A.T a MEETING of the MEMBERS of th
GLASGOW ANTI-CORN-LAW ASSOCIATION
and of all persons friendly to the objects of the Association,
e.ialled by public advertisement) held in the TRADES' HALL,
assford-street, on Wednesday the 3d day of April, 1839, at
Three o'clock, pan.
WILLIAM CRAIG, Esq., one of the Vice-Presidents of the
PATON, Esq., Associaon, in the Chair.
On the motion of JOHN FLEMING, Esq., seconded by W. P.
it was resolved—
. I. That the Glasgow Anti-Corn-Law Association, aware
from the beginning that their petitions were addressed
to a tribunal, the Members of which believed themselves
o have an interest adverse to that of the petitioners,
have learned with deep and well-founded indignation,
but without dismay, the refusal of both Houses of the
Legislature, not merely to repeal or modify, but even
to inquire into, the operation of the iniquitous Corn and Provi-
sion Laws. That the Association sees in the cordial union and
persevering exertions of the Anti Corn-law Delegates, in the
warns support they have received from almost every district in
the Kingdom, in the union of the various Anti-Corn-law As-
sociations into a permanent League, and is the rallying of so
many eminent writers around the standard of total repeal raised
this body, evidence that just views regarding free trade in
every article of exchange, and more especially in provisions,
are gaining strength with a rapidity which promises at no distant
period to wring from a reluctant and selfish Legislature that
act of justice which it has at present so contumeliously refused.
P. That the Glasgow Anti-Corn-law Association, con-
Vincest b 7 experience that relief from the oppressive laws im-
posing rwri,:lions on the free importation of food and pro-
visions is not to be .' '
strength, and union of theeo oped for from the justice of Parliament or
the wisdom of Alinisters,
-'
hut from the increasing knowledge,
A
Corn-law League,
p i,le, declares its adhesion to the
and its cl,;.sirmination, by individual
and combined exertions, by contributing' its fair proportion
towards the general funds of that body, by incessant labours to
disseminate information regarding the great question of free-
trade in food, and by a constitutional exercise of rhatever in-
fluence it may possess over Members of Legislature, to promote
the total abolition of any restrictions upon the power of the
People of Great Britain to exchange the surplus produce of
their industry for the surplus food of other countries.
111. That convinced that the laws imposing restrictions
upon the free importation of fowl, although the most flagrant,
are still but one instance of that unwise policy which has
prizapted the Government of this country to cramp its energies,
and dirriLlish its happiness, by vain attempts to turn trade from
its natural int9artificial channels, the Glasgow Anti-Corn-law
Association declares that it shall be a standing instruction to all
Delegates who shall from t!trie to time be appointed to represent
stn the general meetings of the Anti-Corn-law League to
press upon that body the necessity of extending its sphere of
operation, and constituting itself into a free trade league, for
!lie. purpose of protecting the rights of industry from the dele-
terious effects of landlord legislation, so long as the Legislative
bodies shall remain uureformed.
IV. That convinced that the restrictive mercantile policy,
phis:;is !lapping and undermining the national prosperity, must

of necessii:T be persevered in so long as one class of the vom-
stocheiaEtixoencuatei the Legislature, and through the Legislature
