The Anti-Corn-law League has now tG
.nn,arefl_ which is in forward anti CO-Se ,
which its members are pledged. They bay° to
solved to appeal to the elector:sof the matrafacttr.rwo
and commercial towns to return no "Nlemberfitti
Parliament who are not favourable to a repeal of
Corn-laws. If they make it an electoral questil
and can induce the electors to merge all minor oe
party differences, and elect Members solely on
count of their hostility to the Corn-laws, they //0
speedily procure such an Anti-Corn-law party
the House of Commons as will compel the Co:
law men to show some better reason for pluntleii
the public than their mere will. , 120
The League has begun by making an aPPee Is'
Bolton, the electors of which, like those of Lan
ter, Stockport, Preston, Macclesfield,
rtrho
and other towns, send Members to Parliament dr
vote for a continuance of the Corn-laws• By icb.

large number of persons. To no place CO' Ili' to
appeal be more properly made, for none art'es°'
suffer more by the Corn-laws than Bolto:i. 100

" The rental of Great Bolton," said Mr. 741,
" was 80,0001., now, it had been ascertained by tu-s. la'

that, in July last, when the 2s. rate nail. 1,10,;;
there were no less than 1,083 empty house,g' d
when occupied, a gross rental of 10,000";bich oepr.

The appeal was
eminently successful, ot

Nor would we have them stop at merely clec. ,
sturdy Corn-law Repealers ; they ought to instaft
