CORN-LAWS.
A T a MEETING of the ANTE-CORN-LAW
ZIL DELEGATES, representing Twenty of the most consider-
able manufacturing and commercial Towns in the Kingdom, held
at the Large Room adjoining the York Hotel, Manchester, on the
24th January, 1839, for the purpose of considering the mode of
proceeding to be adopted in the ensuing Session of Parliament for
effecting the total and immediate Repeal of the Corn and Provi-
sion Laws;

JOHN BENJAMIN SMITH, Esq., in the Chair;
It was moved by WILLIAM WEIR' Esq., of Glasgow; secoded by
WILLIAM BOULTBEE, Esq., of Birmingham, and resolved una-
nimously-
1. That this Meeting of Representatives from all the great sec-
tions of, our.manufactnring and commercial/Population solemnly de-
clare it to be their conviction, that the prosperity of the great staples
upon which their capital and industry are employed is in imminent
danger from the operation of the laws which interdict or inter
with the exchange of their productions for the corn and other pro-
duce of foreign nations, and thus check our trade, anegtiticially
,that the price of food in this country ; and believingat the
facts Upon which this judgment is formed are too little known, and
of such national importance as to call for their disclosure before the
people's representatives, they earnestly recommend that Petitions
be immediately forwarded from all parts of the kingdom, praying to
be heard, by Counsel and evidence, at the Bar of the House of
Commons, in the approaching Session of Parliament.
Moved by JosnuA WALMSLEY, Esq., of Liverpool; seconded by

.oy Josnu— , -no, on
the MAYOR of Leeds, arid resolved unanimously-
2. That, in order to secure unity and efficiency, this Meeting
recommends that Delegates be appointed by the several Anti-Corn-
law Associations of the kingdom. to assemble as a Central Board
in London at the opening of Parliament, to whom shall be intrusted,
amongst other business, the duty of obtaining the services of such
Members as may be inclined to urge their cause with efficiency in
Parliament; and in the mean time this Meeting impresses upon all
those local bodies the necessity of immediately collecting and ar-
ranging •theirexidencv., andllaciug,it at-the. disposaljal.thet Central.
Board. Thoie manufacturing and commercial towns not already
possessing such societies are earnestly recommended to form Anti-
Corn-law Associations; and in case they require information or
advice, they are invited to put themselves immediately in corre-
spondence with the Manchester Association, whose fundamental
rule, prohibiting the discussion of any party or political topics. is
especially recommended for the adoption of all similar bodies else-
where.
Moved by JOSEPH WALKER, Esq., of Wolverhampton; seconded
by the MAYOR of Lancaster, and resolved unanimously-
3. Chat the agricultural proprietor, capitalist, and labourer are
benefited equally with the trader by the creation and circulation of
the wealth of the country ; and this Meeting appeals to all those
classes to co-operate for the removal of a monopoly which, by re-
stricting the foreign commerce of the country, retards the increase
of population, and restrains the growth of towns ; thus depriving
the agriculturist of the manifold resources to be derived from the
augmenting numbers and wealth of the country.
Moved by the MA YOR of Bolton; seconded by the Hon. ERSKINE
Mu RRAY, of Edinburgh, and resolved unanimously-
4. That this Meeting cannot separate without expressing its deep
sympathy with the present privations of that great and valuable class
of their countrymen who earn their daily bread by the sweat of their
brow ; so many of whom are now suffering from hunger in the
midst of boundless fields of employment, rendered unproductive
solely by those unjust laws which prevent the exchange of the pro-
duct; of their industry for the food of other countries. So long as
a plentiful supply of the first necessaries of life is denied by the Acts
of the British Legislature to the great body of the nation, so long
will the Government and the country be justly exposed to all the
evils resulting from the discontent of the people. With a view to
avert so great a danger by an act of universal justice, this Meeting
pledges itself to a united, energetic, and persevering effort for the
total and immediate repeal of all law silaffecting the free importation
of grain.
Moved by Mr. Alderman CoonEN, of Manchester; seconded by
R. 11. GREG, Esq., of Manchester, and resolved unanimously_
5. That the Delegates appointed for the furtherance of the ob-
jects of this Meeting by the different Corn-law Associations and
Towns, be advised to assemble at Brown's Hotel, Palace-yard,
Westminster, at Twelve o'Cock, on Monday, the 4th of February.
J. B. SMITH, Chairman.

MAyolt of Manchester, and on the motion of C. P. Vxm.mas,
Esq., M.P. ; seconded by Sir WiLiaaar MoLEswormr, Bart.,
M.P., it was unanimously resolved—
That the thanks of this Meeting be given to J. B. Smith, Esq.,
for the excellent manner in which he has presided over the busi-
ness of this day.
THOMAS POTTER, Mayor.
