WESTMINSTER LIBERAL ASSOCIA-
TION.-At a SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING of
the Members, held at the Kent and Sussex Hotel, Jermyn-street,
on Wednesday, January 10, and by adjournment on Tuesday, Jan.
16, 1838, convened "to take into consideration the subject of
the affairs of Canada, and also of the Ballot, with reference to the
recent public declarations thereon," it was unanimously resolved :
That this Association, as decided Reformers, and registered
electors of Westminster, feel it their bounden duty to declare their
strong disapprobation of the sentiments expressed at the late meet-
ing held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern ; they consider that
the whole of the proceedings of that meeting were calculated not
to advance but to retard the progress of the true principles of
liberty and of freedom, and to deceive, by false statements, the
British public,. and, more especially, the disaffected portion of the
Canadian population.
That this Association, whilst it admits that the administration of
the affairs of Canada requires correction, does not consider that the
real grievances of the Canadians can justify their resort to acts of
rebellion and armed resi►tance against the Government.
That they consider it also to be their duty to declare, as decided
Reformers, that their only desires are the correction of abuses, the
amelioration of our institutions, and the improvement, not the de-
struction, of the present frame of Government.
That this Association, being convinced, from the result of the late
elections, that the Ballot is indispensably necessary to secure the
freedom and purity of voting, exceedingly regret the declaration lately
made by Lord John Russell on this subject, aad sincerely trust that
her Majesty's Ministers will use their influence towards carrying into
effect a measure generally desired by the people. It was also resolved,
That in publishing these resolutions they evince the principles on
which this Association was formed—they are averse to all violent
changes, which frequently increase the evils they are intended to re-
medy ; but they warmly advocate that steady and constant improve-
ment which tends to exalt the character and promote the happiness
of the community. They beg to remind the electors of Westminster
that one Society already exists for the expressed object of returning
two Radical representatives, and another to promote the return of
Tory Representatives, but no Association had been formed, uncon-
nected with party and distinct from the two extremes, until the
formation of this, the Westminster Liberal Association—they there-
fore exhort those electors who coincide with the sentiments of this
.Association to strengthen these principles by enrolling their names
as members. GILBERT POUNCY, Chairman.

subscriptions.
