The Sun.
London, England, 1831-01-05 00:00:00

The following Resolutions were unanimously adopted :
lst.—That it is the opinion of this Meeting that the
mvere distress which at the present time overwhelms, and
las for years pressed down all the industrious classes of
he community,—reducing the labourers and artisans to
misery and destitution, and the farmers and tradesmen to
P,lverty and decay—proceeds from long-continued and
dross misgovernment, which has at length involved the
country in a state of difficulty and insubordination, per-
fectly appalling to every man interested in the welfare
and in the preservation of the insitutions of the country.
2d.—That this ruinous system of misgovernment has
had its origin and support in the extinction of the popular
branch of the Legislature, in the usurpation of the powers
of th. House of Commons, by a few interested
for the aggrandisement of themselves and their own order,
to the entire subversion of the ancient free Constitution of
this country.
3d.—That the security and prosperity of the country
can only be restored, and the most fatal consequences
warded off, by a restitution of the just, legal, and consti-
tutional rights of the people, with such additional safe-
guards as shall insure them a full, fair, and free represen-
tation in the Commons House of Parliament.
4th.—That it is the undoubted right of Englishmen
that representation shall be co-extensive with taxation,
direct or indirect,—national or local, whence it is mani-
fest that all taxes upon articles necessary for the subsis-
tence and comfort of working men should be taken off, or
that all working men compelled to pay such taxes, should
have a voice in the election of members of the House of
Commons.
sth.—That the elective franchise is bestowed and ought
to be exercised for a public, and not for a private benefit ;
that therefore the share which one man possesses in the
election of Members of Parliament ought not to prepon-
derate over that of any other—that therefore all close, rot-
ten, corrupt, and venal boroughs, whereby one man en-
grosses more power than many hundred thousands of his
fellow subject% ought to be disfranchised, and each Member
elected by a proportionable number of constituents.
6th,—That as the safety, happiness, and prosperity of
the country entirely depends upon tke enlightened, honest,
and conscientious exercise of the elective franchise, the duty
which thus devolves upon each elector is the most sacred
and important to himself, his family, and his country,
. which a Government can impose : the elector ought, there•
fore, to be protected in the most free and unbiassed use of
the elective franchise. With this view, therefore, and
tifectually to
,prevent all force, fear, intimidation, bribery,
direct or indirect, or undue influence of any kind, from
acting upon the minds of electors, it is essential that all
votes for Members of Parliament shall be given by secret
ballot.

) 0 7th.—That as a frequent recurrence to the choice of the
to, people is absolutely required to ensure responsibility in the
character of a Representative, Parliaments of a short dura-
tion are necessary to effect that purpose; and this Meeting
ATVs
cannot bet view the septennial act as a most shameful
at of violation of the rights of the people.
pro-
-Bth—
. the That this Meeting cordially congratulate the
`ping people of the United Kingdom upon the dismissal of his
Majesty's late Ministers, who, though superior to many of
, not their predecessors, yet continued to carry on the Govern-
g the went upon a system which has at length left the country
con-. in a state of embarrassment and insubordination unex-
eigh-
ampled.
etion Ma-
9th.—That this Meeting rejoice in, and congratulate the
country upon the appointment of a Ministry who come
rious,
into power upon the express declaration that retrench
merit in the public expenditure, and Reform in the repre-
sentation of the people in Parliament, are essentially ne-
' Pts- emery to the safety of the country, and who have pledged
ing to
themselves to effect both these important measures, and
iks irt
oused
we trust in such a way as will in all respects satisfy public
expectation.
reak- 10th.—That in the opinion of this 'Meeting the bene-
)f the
• A volent intentions of the King and the pledges of his Mi-
.
meters cannot be carried into effect, unless supported by
f the
hould the cordial and general expression of public opinion ;it is
therefore the duty of every man to come forward at the
tuff it
rhsps present important crisis, in support of the King and his
Lt ex-
Ministers in their efforts, to curb a cruel and usurping
borough faction, and to carry into effect those measures of
jester
Parliamentary, financial, and legal Reform, which are be-
°Peti come necessary for the salvation of the country.
onlf
d. 11th.—That a Petition, founded on the foregoing Reso-
'gel 0 lutions, be presented to each House of the Legislature :
wito that the Petition to the House of Lords be presented by
eg Earl fla,:taer, and that to the House of Commons by
—w William Evans, Esq., if he can support the prayer for the
many vote by ballot.
usan• 12th.—That the Resolutions of this Meeting:be published

arn Ica
cave s• the Chairman may select.
