The subjoined Resolutions we
Moved by Mr. G. A. You icc,:of
JOHNSTONE, of Glasgow ; si
Birmingham :
That the refusal to hear evidence against the Corn and Pro-
vision Laws, in the manner best calculated to expose their per-
nicious tendency, thus virtually closing the dr)or of Parliament
against the manufacturing and commercial population, is cal-
culated to impair the confidence of the nation in the wisdom
and justice of .the Legislature. The evidence collected frem all
parts of the kingdom by the Delegates, since their last meeting
in Manchester, proves, beyond their former knowledge, that
those laws are exercising a most pernicious influence upon ma-
nufacturing and commercial industry ; whilst, at the same time,
without benefiting the landowner, they are shown to opera. is
most injuriously upon the interests of the cultivators of the soil,
and especially upon that numerous class the distressed agricul-
tural labourers.

Cul. Thompson
ere unanimously agreed to.
f Marylebone ; seconded by Mr.
supported by Mr. EDMONDS, of

Moved by Mr. MARSHALL, of Leeds ; seconded by Mr.
Sturge, of Birmingham; supported by Mr. PLINY, of Leeds,
and Mr. TAYLOR, of London :

That, whilst the thanks of the country are duo to those
Members of the House of Commons who supported the prayer
of the Delegates, this meeting has seen with regret and aston-
ishment, among their opponents, the names of certain' of the
people's representatives who have always been esteemed inimi-
cal to every species of monopoly and misgovernment. Whilst
calling upon their fellow- countrymen to suspend their opinion
of these Legislators, until they shall have recorded their votes
upon the substantive motion shortly to he submitted to the
House of Commons, the Delegates earnestly hope that, on that
occasion, every friend of freedom will be found advocating the
right of the people to procure the first necessaries of life, in
exchange for the produce of their labour, in the cheapest mar-
kets in the world.
Moved by Mr. Cosorse, of Manchester ; seconded by Mr.
HOLLAND, of Liverpool; supported by Mr. WEIR, of
Glasgow :
That the statesmen who undertake to administer the affairs of
this commercial empire ought to bring to the responsible task,
not only a comprehensive knowledge of its interests, but also a
decision of character adequate to the due application of their
urinciples in all great emergencies. Tho repeal of the Corn
and Provision Laws being a measure admitted, not only by its
advocates, but its opponents, to be of the most vital importance
to the empire, cannot, with justice or safety, be made an open
question by any Administration. This meeting nevertheless be-
held with regret, that upon the late division on Mr. Villiers'
motion, the Queen's Ministers declared their neutrality as a
Cabinet upon this great national question, thereby abandoning.
the exercise of one of their most important functions.
Moved by Mr. Wienest, of Edinburgh ; seconded by Mr.
ASROYD, of Halifax; supported by Col. THO3IPSON :
That the Delegates having, since their separation in London,
received full powers from their constituents to adopt whatever
measures they may deem advisable, for obtaining the total re-
peal of the Corn and Provision-laws, determined, as tke surest
means cff effecting the great object, to promote, by every means
in their power, a union of those great communities represented
on this occasion ; and they appeal to the co-operation of every
class and calling in the country, to aid them in throwing off,
by-a united and national effort, the most pernicious tax ever
imposed by a Legislature.
Moved by Mr. KIN LOCH, of Dundee; seconded by the Mairon.
of Manchester; supported by the Hon. J. ERSKINE Men-
RAT, of Edinburgh :
. . . .

Resolved—That the Delegates, having learned that on Tues-
day evening Mr. Villiers brings on a motion in the House of
Commons, for a Committee of the ',shale House upon the sub-
ject of the Corn-laws, do forthwith adjourn to London ; and
that the first meeting take place at Brown's Hotel, Palace
Yard, at eleven o'clock on Monday morning, the 12th inst.
R. H. GREG, Chairman.
Mr. Greg having vacated the Chair, Alexander Johnstone,
Esq., of Glasgow, was called thereto, when it was
Moved by the Hon. J. E. MuattAT ; seconded by W. RAW..
sox, Esq., and carried by acclamation :
That the thanks of the Meeting be given to Mr. Greg, for his
conduct in the Chair. ALEX. JOHNSTONE.
