This day The Sun Express arrived, biting that Ministers
were left in a minority of 35 upon schedule A in the Committee
of the House of Lords on the Reform Bill.
In consequence of the above information, the Committee of
the Union assembled for the purpose of evincing to their fellow.
citizens, that they view with the deepest concern the predomi-
nance of a faction, whose interests are diametrically opposed to
the just wishes of an oppressed people.
The following Resolutions were unanimously adopted :-
Ist—That in consequence of the abm e eecision, a very general
spirit of discontent has arisen, and will pervade the whole of the
industrious classes of the community; and is also of such a cha-
racter as can be no longer submitted to with impunity. The
ultimateiconsequences of which may be the utter extinction of the
privileged order.
2d—That without a creation of Peers, the total rejection of the
Reform Bill will inevitably follow, and in such case, to enforce
the payment of 'Faxes would be oppressive and unjust, more es_
pecia Ily, after the House of Commons has virtually declared that
they were no longer the representatives of the people.
:M—That the salutary measures contained in the Reform
introduced by the Ministers, has been mostly opposed by a host
of State Paupers, who are fattening upon the taxes, and whose
only idea of justice, is the equal division amongst themselves, of
what is wrung front the hard earnings of the people.

tical order, as beings on whom the Great Author of the Universe
has bestowed extra pains in the moulding, but experience has
convinced us that it is a gross mistake—God has not given one of
them a single vein, sinew, nerve, or the smallest particle of brain,
