_ At a thiset bankers, merchants, and others, held at the
to don Tavern, day, July 14th, SAMUEL JONES LOYD,
'4(l,,in the chair.
011 the 4
motion of Jome ABEL SMITH, Esq., M.P. ; seconded by GEORGE
MOFFATT, Esq , M.P., it was resolved,
Yhat, in the opinion of this meeting, Richard Cobden, M.P., has
establishedthe strongest claims upon the respect and gratitude of his
fellow-countrymen, because, at the sacrifice of all private considera-
. 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, in preparing
iLPablic mind for the repeal of laws which interfered with the
Da' Torn of industry, and imposed restrictions equally unjust and im-
ti“.'_tillPen the supply of the first necessaries of life to the people of
ar_s country.
_ allecause his exertions in this cause have been characterised by re-
ableff moral courage and purity of purpose, by firmness combined
ZWith moderation, and by uncompromising determination, tempered
by conciliation and courtesy.
p Because, when driven by an overwhelming necessity to resort to
2Ptilar agitation for the redress of a great national injustice, he has
Aonducted that agitation as to render it effectual for the accom-
flunent of its first and legitimate purpose, without violating the
a, :WS of his country, without infringing the principles of our free con-
Ntation, without resorting to personal acrimony, or to the use of
itaanguage which is calculated to produe exasperation, or to offend the
°ll4l feelings of serious and loosest-minded men.
,_eeause, against power and authority, and prejudices deeply rooted
71,1 'widely extended, he has maintained the great cause of truth
justice, in a case affecting the rights of his fellow-countrymen
and the true interests of mankind at large, by the sole means of free
nl'l manly discussion, appealing only to the reason of the people and
otto their passions, whilst the laws of truth and the feelings of his
;pone:de have been duly respected, without injury to the strength
" „I.lis cause, or compromising the extent of his reasonable demands.
ecause the self-sacrifice, the energy, the perseverance, the courage
ender severe trials, the moderation and temperance under severe
Provocation, with which the final object has been pursued, and the
Whollyhour unprecedented.
Cecause, through his
byen and advice the Anti-Corn-law
t:age, originally dictated a peculiar arid great necessity, has,
cji"gh every step of its progress, been strictly confined to its osten-
, e and avowed purpose, and has been promptly and faithfully dis-
solved the moment that purpose has been effectually secured.
thThat a subscription be commenced for the purpose of promoting
Pro Posed National Testimonial to Richard Cobden, and that all
Darn
.es be invited to contribute to this testimony of a nation's
natitude for services rendered to the people by one of themselves.

Mortars, Esq.,

On eminent degree to the lion. Charles Pelham, Villiers, M.P., for
