MEETING OF THE MANCHESTER AND

SALFORD TRADES' UNION.

Manchester, Monday Evening.
The " great meeting," of which such pompous
announcement had been made, and which the friends
of disorder affected to contemplate with such terror,
as involving consequences of stupendous magnitude,
took place at noon, this day, in Granby-row-fields.
At about half-past twelve there might be from six
to seven thousand persons present ; but a very large
portion of this number consisted of spectators, for the
closely-packed group which surrounded the hustings
comprised all who heard or that appeared inclined to
hear on the occasion. Each trade sported its banner
of blue calico, emblazoned with an inscription denrip-
tive of the craft which had sent forth its members on
this " momentous occasion."

BARNARD MURRAY, a pipemaker, having.been called
to the chair by general acclamation, read the placard
calling the meeting. This document had " ample
room and verge" for the purpose, and contained a
great many flourishes about the folly of " passive
obedience)" the "patriotism which wrung from the
tyrant John the charter of their birthrights ;" their
" Dorchester brethren," who were on " the deep, deep
sea," &c. But the pith of it was, that they met to
take into consideration the present "critical situation
of the Trades' Unions," and to petition Parliament to
"repeal all laws which give undue protection to capital
over that which is the most valuable of all, because it
gives value to capital—labour."
The first resolution was then moved by Hugh Boyd.
It stated, in effect, that every man had a right to sell
his labour for as high a price as possible, and that
every interference of Government with such right
was incompatible with right. This, as might be ima-
gined, required but brief arguments, and the orator
wisely left well alone. He contented himself with a
few observations, in which he referred to the late affair
at Lyons, and asked whether the meeting were of opi-
nion that the British Government dare make an at-
tempt to put them down in the same way ? To this
interrogatory loud cries of " No, no !" resounded from
every side.
This resolution was seconded by Mr. JOHN RI-
CHARDSON, a letter-press printer, who was more dis-
cursive and less discreet than his friend the pipe-
maker ; but it would be waste of time and trouble to
describe either this speech or that of EVANS, a tailor,
who also supported the motion. You have speechifi-
cations enough to record without those of our Man-
chester Union orators.

They proceeded to the 6th resolution, all of which
presented little variation from the first, except that of
a petition to the House of Commons, for the purpose
set forth, as one of the ostensible objects of the meet-
ing. Much violent language was used by the speakers,
but nothing was urged presenting the slightest claims
to novelty. The meeting separated soon after four
o'clock. The proceedings throughout were strictly
peaceable.
The following is a copy of the petition alluded to :
That as this nation has derived all its present greatness
and power from its manufactures and commerce, and that as
its prosperity and peace depend on the comfort and happi-
ness of the producers of all the wealth of these realms,
your honourable house will be pleased to take into your
most serious consideration the absolute necessity of imme-
diately removing all laws which are found to be oppressive
to trade, and which give an undue preference to capital
over labour. That the poor man may be elevated to his
proper situation in society, and made to feel his own
worth, by the consciousness of being the object of the
vigilance and protection of a wise and good Government."
