lnly let the people adhere to the law and ifrirbiiiisT.
;ommons, and they would beat two Dukes of WelliaWn.
—(Cheers.) The old Tories had been giving theiThike
essons in politics, which he would never hay, liajOilile
-0 digest as he had done, if, at the same time-Atei had
.0t crammed him (as they do turkeys) wAriiiiace and
,ension,_(liproarious applause.) He concluded with
,conding the resolution, which was read by the Chairman,
Ind carried unanimously amidst loud checring.
G.I)FREY HIGGINs, Esq., in moving a vote of thanks
o the Reformers of England, said the people of England
,ad shown that they would govern themselves ; th,t,
,hough they had been called by those who had governed
,Item an ignorant rabble, and had been told that they had
:), en governed by wisdom and riches, had involved them
in a debt of 800,000,0001. sterling, it was high time that
they began to govern themselves—(Cheers). He con-
cluded by moving the resolution.

JosFrit Noon, Esq-, of &Mal, seccni:ed the resolu.
(ion. They had not met there to discuss the principle of
Ref .nn, but he must be allowed to say, he wished from
his heart that the Bill was more extensive and comprehen-
,ive. He wished that it had embraced every one amongst
them, for it was their birthright, and they had proved
themselves worthy of it—(Cheers.) When, however, the
enemy of liberty was in the breach, it was not the time for
the seldiers of freedom to quarrel upon minor points, but
to exert all their united efforts t,) repel him, vnd to settle
all their little differences as brothers and as friends—
The ppectacle before him was enough to :make any
man proud of his country, and was enough to exalt the
national character in the eyes of a civilised world—(Cheers)
The cause they were met that day to celebrate was the
triumph of a public principle, and the downfall of tyranny
and injustice—(Cheers). They were met to celebrate,
not the victory of a party, but the triumph of the people—
(Applause

-err, a ono, of Dewsbury, proposed a vote of thanks o
the Chairman. Much had been said of the advantage of
union ; and it was to that moral force which union afforded
that they were indebted for the prosperous prospects be-
fore them. No Minister would have dared to propose,
and none would have resigned their power, because they
could not carry a Reform of that extent, had they not
been backed, he was going to say, not by the hundreds
of thousands, but by the millions of the people—(Hear,
hear)—who, with hearts as tree, and with arms as
strong as their own, were ready, not in fierce combat, for
he trusted they should not come to that, but in bold and
manly union, to assert their rights, and to insist upon
obtaining them.—(Cheers.) In the field of battle,
however great the success might be, there was always
something very painful connected with the triumph.__
There were the killed, the wounded, and the missing; but
in the triumph of the Reformers none were slain, none
were wounded—(Cheers)—and in labouring to obtain
their own rights, they were labouring for others also—
(Hear, hear)—for union had given to the great cause of
Reform such a mighty impetus, such an irresistible force ,
that they had learnt that union was strength.—(Hear.)
G. B. BROWN, Esq., of Halifax, seconded the motion.
Mr. HoenswoaTir having vacated the Chair, it was
taken by E. C. LISTER, Esq., who put the motion—
" That the Chairman be authorized to sign the address on
behalf of the meeting, and that the thanks of the meeting
he tendered to Ent for his able conduct in the Chair,"
which was c:a rigid amidst loud cheering.
A little while after the Chairman had quitted the Chair,
loud and repeated calls were made for Mr. Baines, which
that gentleman, at the instance of the Chairman and other
gentlemen on the hustings, obeyed, by addressing a
few observations to the assembly. A small party of
Huntite radicals, about 20 in number, occasioned some
interruption; but being overpowered by the cheers
and clapping of the remainder of the assembly, silence
was obtained, and Mr. Baines briefly congratulated
the meeting on the proud attitude in which the
cause of Reform, which he had strenuously advocated for
inure than 30 years, now stood. He also recommended
that those Members of the House of Lords, who were in-
terested in the preservation of the rotten boroughs, should
imitate the example set by honest Jurymen, when a cause
was called on in which they had a personal interest, by de-
siring leave to withdraw until the question was decided.
He than complimented the meeting on the admirable spirit
of patriotism, concord, and harmony which had prevailed,
and expressed his confidence that that spirit of union and
peace which had hitherto characterized all the efforts of the
Yorkshire Reformers would mark the conclusion of this
day's proceedings, and be the means of bringing their
cause to a speedy and triumphant issue.
This was followed by loud cheers and waving of hats.
The vast assemblage now slowly and quietly separated,
after again s►nging " Rule Britannia," and giving three
cheers for the people, and three for the Ministers.
