and when its originators, attencli'`%l —9 'CI!:
the Corn Exchange, had to rim ourlttthe, .-t-sn
door to save their lives almost. It
thing to fight against the feelings aiiid the prela-
dices that then existed infavour of the-old law that

it was enacted ; but by sound argument, and the
genuine truthful--eloquence by which those men
were so distinguished, the country came to under-
stand the thing, and then the question was settled.
If such had been their contests, what were they
going to do now ? Surely 18,000 men were not ex-
'on without some reason for so
twang. ktiear, near.) He believed that the meet-
ing was engaged in a great and good cause—the
cause of progressive reform. (Applause.) That
was the battle to be fought next session. They had.
recently in Parliament been all a sort of united and
happy family—(laughter)—but he thought that
before the end of the next session that feeling
would be dispelled. (Hear) Parties would again
have to range themselves on different sides; and the

classes should be admitted to the franchise, and
those who thought things should Remain as they
were. He thought it to be the real, true, and
genuine right of every Englishman to obtain the
suffrage through his own industry. He (Mr.
Philips) agreed most entirely in the principle
lately advocated elsewhere (hear, hear) but
which was brought forward years ago ; and he
thought the safest and soundest course would be to
do away with-the Registration Courts at onee, and-
make the rate-book the register. After advocating
strict ward organisations and hard work in the
canvass,-Mr. Philips said that With those steps he
felt every reasonable confidence that the result
would be a triumph to the meeting, their prin-
-cirdes, and their candidate.who advocated those
-principles. (Applause.)
JAMES KERSHAW, Esq., M.P. (Stockport), said
he had taken part in every contested election in
Manchester, and had always worked and voted for
the Liberal candidates. At the last election, al-
though were some slight differences of opinion
between himself and Messrs. Gibson and Bright,
yet he was so fully impressed with a sense of the
very important services they had rendered to this
country—(hear)—in a great variety of ways, that
it was impossible for:him to withhold his vote from
- Me, Philips had said-that they had some
great object, or that they ought to have one. He
was sure the meeting had this great object at least
—to redeem their credit. (Hear, hear.) He would
not say much upon that subject—but the electors
were taunted from day to day in the public prints
that Manchester was no longer the Manchester it
was—(hear)—that Manchester was fallen and de-
graded. Let us see whether the great Liberal
party would not once more rally and put itself
right—(hear)—so that there might be no further
taunts upon the subject. He saw that it was at-
tempted to raise the old bugbear about the dic-
tation of the League; but he hoped the -electors
of Manchester knew too well to be caught by that
claptrap. (Hear.) -We were called—and he said
" we," because he was early and late connected
with that body—we were called
"the rump of the
League." Very well, then, they were part of the
body, and they were prepared to defend their prin-
ciples.r{applause)—such principles .as those to
which Mr. Bazley had given utterance—" Peace,
retrenchment, and reform." (Applause.) If the
national. honour was concerned, and the national
honour was at stake, he was not a man to shrink
from the contest ; but he belived that the interests
of this 'community were bohnd up with the peaceful
prosperity of the country. - (Applause.) He re-
joiced most sincerely that the electors had called
Mr. Bazley out ; and he believed that within
three:weeks Mr. Bazley would be member for Man-
chester. Mr. Bazley . was highly, intelligen t
and understood the interests and the wants of Man-
chester ; and if sent 'to "the House, of Commons,
there- would be none more zealous in promoting
thoie- interests and supplying those. wants.- (Hear,
hear.) He was confident that Mr. - Batley-was an
honest man—and that, was no mean thing in a re-
presentative.
.(Hear, hear.) He had seen a great
many people in a certain iolace, on whose honour,
honesty, and integrity he had very little reliance.
(Hear, hear.) He was sure that Mr. Bazley would
distinguish himself in the house ; and, in addition
to his intelligence and honesty, he was sure that
Mr.: Bazley was thoroughly independent. He was
not to be dictated to. _ (Hear.) It had been at-
tempted to dictate to Mr. Bazley; but let him
stand, as he (Mr. Kershaw) knew he would, not
upon his own merits, but upon the favour of the
-electors.' (Hear, hear.) Then heneed not fear any
phalanxx of' power that could be brought against
him. He should be inclined' to think that
•
Manchester was lost indeed, if she could reject a
citizen so distinguished, who had - performed such
services to his country, and who was • capable of
'performing more important services to this commu-
nity and the county than he had ever yet rendered.
(Applause.) He (Mr. Kershaw) was going 200
miles from Manchester, but if there was a contest
it would give him the utmost pleasure to come and
vote for Mr. Bazley ; and if the election depended
urn it that vote should be most cordially given.
c CHAIRMAN said he should be glad to hear
anyone vresent—working man or merchant ; and
there being loud Calls for Mr. George Wilson that
gentleman came forward.
Mr. WILSON said he had intended to be a silent,
but by no means an uninterested, spectator.
Having within the last few days had the opportu-
tunity of attending other meetings—(hear, hear)—
and of hearing a voice that charmed him—(loud
applause)—as it did in the days of yore, and feel-
ing the' strong emotions he did at seem the man
who stood before his constituents at Birmingham
—(loud applause)—he confessed that lip. to that
moment he had been overpowered with the senti-
ments he then heard expressed, and his attachment .
to the Speaker. (Applause.) But while nothing
couldinduce him to absent himself from the Sup-
port of'a gentleman for whom
he had so high an
estimation as he had for Mr. Bazley, so nothing
should induce him, at that meeting or during the
election, to say anything that could cause the
slightest discord, or prevent the greatest harmony
in securing Mr. Bailey's return. He (Mr. Wilson)
battled for principles ; and so long as his prin-
ciples succeeded, no man on earth could say
that he ought not to be satisfied—and he was
satisfied with Mr. Bazley. (Applause.) Mr.
Kershaw had made a very strong observation, for
the making of which he (Mr. Wilson) had been
condemned—that Manchester was degraded. He
would not repeat it, though he might entertain the
opinion. If they were all agreed in that room
that, f9r various reasons, Mr. Bulgy was now the
man fOr Manchester, surely they could return him,
without constant quarrels and continual animo-
sities between man and man, and dividing parties, •
as was done at the last election. (Hear, hear.)
Since the last meeting he had received a communi-
cation from Mr. Cobden—(applause)—in which
Mr. Cobden, no doubt with reference to the letter
ieferred to at the last meeting, said he had been
applied. to, as he had seen it stated that it was 'in-
tended to place his name before the electors, to send
a letter for publication in the newspapers, but that
he preferred to write to him (Mr. Wilson). Mr.
Cobden explained that nothing would induce him
to sit for Manchester, or (Mr. -Wilson believed) for
anywhere else .at the present moment; and Mr.
Cobden gave reasons which compelled him (Mr.
Wilson) to believe him to
be sincere. The letter
must have been written before intelligence could
have reached Mr. Cobden of what took place at the
meeting on
Tuesday, and he (Mr. 'Wilson) felt
bound to make the facts known. He was now ready
to work heartily with and for Mr. Bazley. (Cheers.)
• A WORKING MAN announced that the Council
of the' National Charter Association had passed a
resolution pledging that body unreservedly to sup-
port Mr. Bazley.
- The meeting then proceeded to the preliminary
organisation of ward committees, which was its
primary object ; and it was urged by Mr. J. A.
NICHOLLS, hon. secretary, and other gentlemen,
that er
that those committees .should be formed
and set to
work as speedily as possible.
It *as announced that Mr.
Barley
would yester-
da. y evening commence to visit the wards, begin-
ning with that in which his own 'business premises
are situated—St. John's • and that he would to-
day meet the electors Of St. George's' Ward at -
Platford's Hotel, Hulme.
RETIREMENT OF MR. FAIREAIRN.
Mr. Thomas Fairbairn, who issued an address to
the electors of Manchester some months before the
present vecany occurred, announced his retirement
yesterday in the foll Owing terms :
• "To the Electors of the City of Manchester,—
Gentlemen,—ln July last, when I announced to you
my intention of offering myself on the first oppor-
tunity as a candidate for the honour of represent-
ing you in Parliament, I had the firm persuasion
that you were determined to maintain year_tholitical
former
decision, that you would not submit to p
ascendancy of a league which still survives amongst
then, us in all but in name. I was anxious en, as lam
to be a
still,'to avert, if possible, what I believe
covert attack upon your independence
m from the old
y
helamented friend
quarter. Since the death of
ed t best means at
Sir John Potter I have employ
my disposal to ascertain the present wishes of the "
I
conslit aency ; and I` bound to say I have
foun a disinclination to disturb the city' by the -
d
excitement of a contested election. I therefore .
witharaw my name from your notice. I have the

vent; THOMAS FAIRBAIRN.—Northwood
