answer that question. All that I shall say is, that my
answer is here.—(Great cheering.) " Why," it was again
said, " are you in Bath again, sowing dissension ?" His
answer was, " If you can show me that I am really sowing
dissension—if you can show that lam standing in the way of
a better man, or one more likely• to conciliate all parties, do
so, and I will not stop here another hour." He, however, -
could not find a man but who had stated, " If you leave us,
so far from dissension being avoided, your friends will say that
they had been deceived, and disunion would be inevitable."
That was his answer to the qnestion.—(Cheers.) In Bath, he
Lelieved, union svas of great benefit, as it would enable ti.em
to'obtain good ands and good laws. He cared not by whom lie
got these gezed things, but they might depend upon it,
that without Liberal Parliament, they could not have Libe•
ral i‘linisteess.—(Great cheering. ) A name was nothing, but
principle was everything. Principle went a great way, and be
!IrIllgb!.. that if he and his friend were long together, they
vrool.d go a little further than was expected from them at the
present moment. Ile was sure that he should be among men
who, when they knew what he was at, would act upon the old
proverb, and say that the devil was not quite so black as they
; hought him.—(Laughter.) He had come there to tight the
ha.'stles of the electors of Bath, and not that of party. They
viere of the people's party, and no ether. He had never called
.himself of any ',arty but that of the people, and in proof of
• that he might refer to his present deeds. He called upon any
of the electors present to point out if they could a single in-
stance in which he had opposed civil or religious liberty.
'through his whale life he had advocated the cause of freedom
in every sense of the word. No man had a more
humble opinion of himself than he hal. No man
had perhaps committed greater errors than himself ;
but all that he asked was, that when he dirt err, he should he
turned round and told that such and such a thieg was his foul
deed, because he did not see why one false step should mar a
whole life.—(Cheers.) When the people thought long upon
a thing they generally thought right, and they might depend
upon it th.t the people would not take up the fragment of any
man's cl-,eracter and le °flounce their or inion upon it; but
they would jud!,.e him by his general econact, and not by any
pir;ieular act. His Hon. Friend t4d, spoken about the Corn-
taws, anti some one had asked him if he was for a total aboli-
tien. He thought. it was unnecessary for him to state that he
was in favour of total ab,:lition.—(Loud cheers.) He bad no
doubt that. the slicing scale and the fixed duty would soon dis-
aprear. They would find that a free trade in corn was a trade
without any shackles.
Lard DUNCAN s.id, al:hough he advocated a fixed duty he
did not In, an f.sr a moment to !ay that it should be final.

Mr. ROEFIUCII lIUMIRhI would be great difficulty in car-
rying through the fixed duty or a total abolition ; but if it was
shown hint that they could not carry the total abolition,
but that ihey would carry a small fixed duty, he would
take that in preference to nothing. Everything was to b: ac-
complishe.i step by step. All the great revolutions that had
taken place had been accomplished step by step. Even the
Refocus Bill and the ether great measures that bad been pas7ed
by the pre,ent Ministry had been accomplished by degrees. So
with respect to civil liberty—that had not been brought about
at once. lie trusted that in all the great questions which
he had adverted, the people of Bath would Lear and forbear.—
(Cheers.) He trusted that they would never give up that
which the:. were entitled to—civil and religious liberty for
themselves and their descendants. If the people adopted that
cou-se, he thought the battle of freedom would soon be won.
and this country would become what he believed God intenried
it to be—a 'great, a powerful, and a happy natien.—(Cheers. )
'f he CHAIRMAN then put the question that Mr. Roebuck
and Lord Duncan were fit and proper candidates to represent
the city of Bath in Parliament, and declared it to be carried
unanimouly..

Three cheers were then given for the Queen, and throe for
Lord Duncan, and three for Mr. Roebuck. . .

Lotd DUN ,t 1.4 proposed three cheers for the example that
had been set by the eketors of Bath in the union of himself and
Air. Rocimck, and may, continued the Noble Lord, that ex-
ample be foilowel by the other constituencies of the kingdom.
A vote of thciaks ~vas thee unanimously carried to the Chair-
man for his impartial conduct in the chair, and three cheers
havitrz be,n given for the :Mayor of Bath, the meeting sepa-
rated.

Lord Duncan and Mr. Roebuck were enthusiastically chez red
on lervi!.g the Hall.

HONESTY.--On Wednesday week, a legal gen-
tleman passing alang the streets in Glasgow, dropped
four notes for 100/. etch, which for a considerable time
were missing. Bills were issued announcing the loss,

THE ANTI-CORN-LAW MEETING ON WED-
reesnay.—We give, in another part of our present number, a
pretty full abstract of the proceedings of an immense meeting
of the working classes of this town, held in Stevenson's-square,
on Wednesday last, to consider the propriety of petitioning
against the Corn-laws. It will be seen from this report that
the strange delusion Which so lung prevailed amongst a cer-
tain portion of the working classes in this neighbourhood,
and which induced them to oppose a demand for the re-
dress of any grievance, however manifes4 until their own
impracticable demands were complied with, has at length been
diesipated. Indeed, the larger and better part of the working
classes in this town—the men who mind their own business,
and take care of their 'Dan families—never joined in it • but
there were idle sad discontented spirits who were disposed' to
listen to the exhortations of trading agitators,. and who were
could not control. From this t.
sufficiently numerous to disturb those
bz!eeetl
imagine which they
the
delusion is at an end ; and`ni whatever the the working classes may
think about the "fire points," they will be qui`e satisfied to al-
iow others to seek thetore,insovabl of acknowledged grievances,
without interfering
confident,
their proceedings. Such,
e
will w
including
otuhresemmo:
who
at least, we feel
really honest and sincere, eve'e
haves. Of course there will be
can, and wfio"tett°ll°
amongst the Chartists them-
, who are disposed
made a living by the recent
te do what mischief they
on Wednesday, try to create tumult and disorder
as at the meeting
in public
meetings, whenever a favourable opportunity' present itself.
But their power is gone ; they have lost their
minds of the great body of the working eiasse ir hold on the
tempts to disturb and frustrate the proceed'
in; and their ate
will be nugatory.—We have alluded to g' of
public
attempt of
this kind at the meeting on Wednesday, for the fullof which we must refer to the report of the proceggtieuL"
will be teen that a gang of desperate fellows, armed willisb.l It
ud-
germs and other weapons, forced their way to the' fr •
the hustings, where, evidently with the intention of
of
creating a disturbance, they spread a large banner in such
way as to intercept the view of the hustrtgs. Though re-
peatedly desired to remove this obstruction, they contemptu-
ously refused to do so; and when some of those who stood
near attempted to pull it down, tie Chartist bludgeon-men
immediately drew out their concealed weapons, and made a
fierce attack upon all who stood near them. .This savage
onslaught at first confounded the .Anti. Corn-7aw men, wha
were entirely unarmed, and in no condition to resist the
attack ; but, having broken up the staves cf some of their Own
banner:, they provided themselves with weapees frono the frag-
ments, and a tierce conflict ensued, the issue of which at first
appeared doubtful, as the Chartist?, though only a handful in
comparison with the perti,s to as horn they. were opposed, had
the advantag,s' of preparation and organteaticn. Numbers,
however. prevailed; end the disterhers were driven from the
square, but not without having given and received a consider-
able number of broken heads.—Muneltester Guardian,
