MoPrATT, Esq , it was resolved,

MOIR is, Esq.,
That (next to Richard Cobden) the gratitude of the country is due
in an eminent degree to the Hon. Charles Pelham Villiers, M.P., for
Lis valuable and truly patriotic co-operation in the cause of corn-law
repeal and free trade in general. That Mr. Villiers devoted his
energies and abilities to the advocacy of the repeal of the corn-laws
at a time when, by so doing, he necessarily exposed himself to the
hostility of those classes with which he was naturally connected
that with great moral courage he repeatedly forced this question upon
en unwilling and hostile Legislature ; that from the commencement
of this great struggle he has laboured in the cause with zeal, with
ability, and singleness of purpose, with untiring energy, with un-
abated good faith, and with a remarkable absence of all personal
consideration and private jealousy.
That by these means, and by the knowledge aad ability invariably
displayed by him in every Parliamentary debate on the subject, Mr.
Villiers has rendered invaluable assistance to the progress of the
question, and his name must remain indissolubly connected with the
final success of this great inea,,ure.

A Committee, consisting of the following gentlemen, was ap-
pointed to take the necessary steps to turther the proposed National
Testimonial to Richard Cobden :

SAMUEL JONES LOYD, Esq., Chairman.
W3f. A. WILKINSON, Esq., Deputy-Chairman.

That, In the opinion of this meeting, Richard Cobden, MT., has
isitablished.the strongest claims upon the respect and gratitude of his
fellow-countrymen, because, at the sacrifice of all private considera-
tions, and of every personal interest, he has devoted his whole time
and energies to advance the great cause of free trade, and has been
instrumental, in a greater degree than any other person, Ln preparing
the public mind for the repeal of laws which interfered with the
freedom of industry, and imposed restrictions equally unjust and im-
politic upon the supply of the first necessaries of life to the people of
this country.
Because his exertions in this cause have been characterised by re-
markable moral courage and purity of purpose, by firmness combined
with moderation, and by uncompromising determination, tempered
by conciliation and courtesy.
Because, when driven by an overwhelming necessity to resort to
popular agitation for the redress of a great national injustice, he has
to conducted that agitation as to render it effectual for the accom-
plishment of its first and legitimate purpose, without violating the
Laws of his country, without infringing the principles of our free con-
stitution, without resorting to personal acrimony, or to the use of
language which is calculated to produe exasperation, or to offend the
moral feelings of serious and honest-minded men.
Because, against power and authority, and prejudices deeply rooted
and widely extended, he has maintained the great cause of truth
and justice, in a case affecting the rights of his fellow-countrymen
and the true interests of manind at large, by the sole means of free
and manly discussion, appealing only to the reason of the people and
not to their passions, whilst the laws of truth and the feelings of his
opponents have been duly respected, without injury to the strength
of his cause, or compromising the extent of his reasonable demands.
Because the self-sacrifice, the energy, the perseverance, the courage
wader severe trials, the moderation and temperance under severe
provocation, with which the final object has been pursued, and the
simplicity and moderation exhibited in the hour of victory, are
wholly unprecedented.
Because, through his Influence and advice the Anti-Coro-law
League, originally dictated by a peculiar and great necessity, has,
through every step of its progress, been strictly confined to its osten-
sible and avowed purpose, and has been promptly and faithfully dis-
solved the moment that purpose has been effectually secured.
That a subscription be commenced for the purpose of promoting
the proposed National Testimonial to Richard Cobden, and that all
parties be invited to contribute to this testimony of a nation's
gratitude for services rendered to the people by one of themselves.
