AT the MEETING of the COUNCIL of
the GENERAL CONVENTION, met at the Arundel
Coffee-house, in the Strand, on Saturday, August 10, 1839,
Moved by Mr. CA IC FENTER, seconded by Mr. O'BRIEN,
and unanimously carried,
That this Council h.s read with indescribable surprise and
indignation the language stated to have been employed Isy Lord
John Russell in the House of Commons last night, in which
he imputed to the Chartists, as a body, the intention of
taking the property of others to enrich themselves, an
imputation which this Council repels, in the most unqualified
terms, as a base calumny upon the people called Chartists—
an imputation coming with a peculiar bad grace from a man
whose family has been enriched by property plundered from the
poor, and retained only by the aid of a large standing army and
rural police; a man who is the apologist and upholder of a sys-
tem by which the industrious classes are deprived of the fruits
of their labour for the aggrandisement of a base, oppressive, and
truculent aristocracy.
