the Chartists' support from their wuuld-be champion.
A resolution having been submitted to the meeting, in

rQ-
pealers proposed an amendment, to the effect that it was
not desirable to agitate only for the Charter, but that it

apprehensive of being out-voted, at length agreed- to
adopt amendment as part of their original resolu-
tion, which being done, it passed unanimously, and
amidst the cheers of the opponents of flue Corn-laws.
There was some discussion during the meeting, in which
the Chartists found themselves worsted by their opponents
in argument, and altogether the Anti-Corn-law question
