few to what there ought to be.—(Hear, hear.) But,
how many more of you can manage to lay out 401. or
501. in buying a cottage, and getting 7 or 8 per cent.
for your money. It is your own ; the purchase-
money is invested instead of putting it into the
savings' banks; you get your interest and your vote
besides ; and you have not to pay something addi-
tional every year, but the investment is paying you
something additional every year instead.—(Applause.)
Now, seeing how much easier it is to have a county
vote than a borough vote,' we come here to agitate, to
try to indnce you, first of all, every man to get a
borough vote, and then to get as many county votes
as you can in addition ; and, next of all, to urge
upon those who have not got a borough vote, to see
and get a county vote as soon as they can.—(Cheers.)
Don t let us talk bout theories for getting the fran-
chise in some gat svveep, which can be obtained
some day, I don't know when ; but let us do some-
thing as well as talk ; let everybody who can manage
to get a vote for the county, get it as soon as he
can, and it will help him to get everything else

Frederick Lane, and Mr. Gibson.
GEORGE WILSON, Esq., in taking the chair, ad-
verted to the progress of the League, and the nume-
rous fallacies it had lived to argue down. He con-
cluded his speech by saying.—The battle of free trade
must be fought on free-trade principles alone, and the
man who should strike his opinions on the day of
trial, under any pretence, was little better than a
monopolist.—(Loud applause.) They had petitioned,
memorialised, and sent deputations in vain to Govern-
ment for the repeal of this law ; they had now
changed their course of action ; they were now deter-
mined to work out their object through the registra-
tion
courts, and calling upon their friends who could
afford it to secure a vote, they would become inde-
pendent of Ministerial caprice, or the patronage of
lofty names ; they were determined to rely upon their
own strength, and when the day of contest should
come, they would thus be able to measure strength
with their antagonists, and obtain for the people of
this country the second charter of their liberties—
unrestricted commerce.—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. COBDEN, M.P., was received with loud and
protracted cheering. He spoke as follows :—Mr.
Chairman, ladies, and gentlemen—l was saying to
my friend Mr. Bright that I never spoke so badly any
where as at Rochdale, and I never came here yet that
I did not give you a very bad speech, and a very
short one ; and I can promise you that I shall do no
more to-night, and I can tell you what is the reason.
When I have to speak, I like to fancy, at all events,
that I have somebody to be convinced, or somebody
opposed to me : I always had the impression that at
Rochdale your minds were pretty well made up on
the subject of the corn-laws, and your kind reception
of me to-night convinces me more and more that I
have no work to do here.—(Applause). It makes no
matter what our errand may be; in going to some
place to beg money one has to brace up one's nerves,
and get up a face for the occasion ; but when we come
to Rochdale to beg money—though I am happy to
say we have not come to beg to-night—(Applause)—
I am always sure to be told that the money has been
all subscribed and collected in Rochdale for days
before hand.—(Applause). And now, when our ob-
ject, as my friend in the chair has said, is to induce as
many people in Rochdale as possible to become free-
ho:ders, and qualify themselves to vote in this and the
neighbouring divisions of counties, I am told that
somebody in the room has a book in which there are
already down somewhere about 100 names of persons
intending to become freeholders, so that our work is
done before we begin to talk about it.—(Applause).
Our chairman has told you correctly that the labours
of the League have hitherto been those of prepara-
tion ; that is, they have been trying to convince the
minds of their fellow-countrymen that free trade is a
good thing, and the corn-laws very bad ones. But
annething more than that must be done before we can
convince the House of Commons ; for we have not all
our own way there as here ; there is plenty of anta-
gonism there to raise a man's spirit for him.—(Ap-
plause). lie will hear all sorts of voices and sounds,
except those pleasant and agreeable ones with which
you treat me here. We sometimes receive the
treatment you would oxpect to receive amongst a
body of newly-caught New Zealanders.—(Laughter
and applause.) Now you cannot change that
opinion by any argument ; you may, perhaps,
convince some of them, but I never knew any con-
verts made by argument ; If they are convinced, they
still don't change. Only one argument goes down
in that House ; it is, as Mr. Gisborne once said, a ma•
jority ; no other argument but a majority goes down
there.—(Applause.) Now, we want to alter the ma-
jority in that House ; and that is to he done out of
the House, and not in it. It is to be done not merely
by converting some of those who make Members of
Parliament, but by adding as many as possible to
those who are qualified to elect representatives.
Hitherto we have been an Anti-Corn-law League,
instructing the People, and agitating them about
free trade ; now, I really think we are going to take
my friend Sharman Crawford's business out of his
hands, and advocate an extension of the suffrage.—
(Applause.) We want to persuade our fellow-coun-
trymen to buy the property that will qualify them to
vote ; and I most sincerely wish that every head of a
family in this country was worth the money neces-
sary to buy that vote. But that is much easier done
than many people suppose. Another meridian has
dawned upon us within the last few months. We
pledged ourselves some time ago to contest the
boroughs and try what we could do to gain them ;
but it never occurred to us that we could win counties
in this country. And yet with 252 county Members
in the House, and not six of them voting for free
trade, it has occurred to us that unless we can make
some change there, we shall not be likely to get a
majority in that House.—(Hear, hear.) Now I be-
lieve the counties may be won in many instances, as
I have before said, much easier than the little pocket
boroughs. There has been a great misapprehension,
both as to the nature of the county representation,
and the means by which votes may be had for a county.
We have all that superstitious notion about land-
owners and land, so that people in the towns have

right and just that he wants Co get.—(Applause.)
little while ago there was an election for North
Lancashire. Well, Mr. Towneley Parker, a leading
,nan among the squires—not a very wise man you
iuppose—it does not require a very wise man to lead
that order—(Applause and laughter)—in addressing
the constituency at one of the towns, said, "I should
.ike to see any one come forward here to oppose Mr.

Talbot Clifton. Look at the requisition that has been

presented to him! it is signed by people whose in-
come amounts to 400,0001. a year, and I should like

to know who would contend against such an amount

of influence as that." Nothing—so easy as to contend
against it ; and I'll show you how ; 400,000/. a year;
how many votes will that give the landowners—for
that is what he meant P—(Hear, hear.) We know

TIIE TWO TRAVELLERS.
Two travellers going a journey together,
Began to converse on the state of the weather.
" 1 say," said the first, with a shivering form,
"How the deuce de you manage to keep yourself warm?
I myself am half froze from my head to my toes,
With a very red face, and a very cold nose.
And as for rheumatics and ague," said he,
"They haunt me so much that I never am free.
But look at yourself, yr( u are hearty and bluff,
Though the weather has proved so remarkably rough.
You always seem snug, though the hurricanes bellow—
!), o me the cause of it, there's a good fellow."
So I will," said the other," and that in a minute,
Though, to tell you the truth, there is so secret in it.
This warm winter coat is a garment most rare,!
I bought it of MOSESand SON—you know here.
I always feel warm in the midst of a storm,
While such a choice comforter covers my form.
If you'd a coat like it, 'rheumatics' and e'
Would never come near you to vex and to plague you.
Now take say advice, Sir, and do as I've done,
(to and pureh ase a coat: of E. MOSES and SON.
Since wearing this comforting garment," said he,
" I've never once paid any doctor a fee.
Thus MOSES and SON, while they keep us from cold,
Prevent us from wasting so much of our gold.
I'm certain there's no better thing can be done,
Than buying a coat of E. MOSES apsl SON "

►here the distinction has been kept up of votes for
counties and votes for boroughs ; in all other coun-

from sections of country, or by a population of par-
ticular districts ; but in no other country is the ab-
surdity continued of sending one description of re-
presentatives for the towns and another for the
counties. 'We have derived this from our own feudal
system ; it sprung up at a time when there was a ge-
neral belief, and when probably that belief was founded
on something like fact, that there was an antagonism
between the interests of towns and the interests of

between towns and counties. The towns were the
residences of men who had attained a certain amount
of freedoin, having escaped from the clutches of their
feudal: lords ; the counties were still ill their hands ;
and whilst the towns sent up their citizens, their bur-
gesses, to vote in Parliament, the feudal lords and
the counties sent up their knights of the shire to vote
in Parliament also; and they were at times very
much at war with each other, having separate and
distinct rights. But all that is gone by; nobody
pretends now that the people in eounties can have
different interests from those in boroughs ; and what
I want to bring to your conviction is, that as there is
but one common interest in county and town, you
have an undoubted right to take an interest in the
representation of the counties; and, in fact, it cannot
be a representation of the county unless it represents
the large towns in the county.—(Applause.) Now,
there has been another great misapprehension ; people

STAICO'S ESSENCE of LINSEED is the most
efficacious remed v ever discovered for the relief of persous suffer—
ing from Influenza ; the two first doses generally arrest the progress
of this distressing complaint, :Ind a little perseverance completely
removes it. Children's Coughs, as well as recent ones in adults, will
be removed by a few doses (frequently by the first), and asthmatic
persons, who previously had not been able to lie down in bed, have
received the utmost benefit from the use of

On Wednesday last the Lord Mayor accepted the
invitation of the General Purposes Committee to dine
at Masons'-lull Tavern, White-alley, Coleman-street,
when Mr. Bailey, the proprietor of the tavern, prepared
a most splendid entertainment. Deputy Stevens, who
has been for many years one of the most popular and in-
fluential members of the Corporation, presided upon the
occasion, and was supported by Deputy Peacock, the
popular member for Bishopsgate, and several others of
the Court. his Lordship was received in the warmest
manner, and responded to the toast of " His health" in
such a manner as drew down the strongest expressions
of applause from the company.

ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning Noan, and Nigkt, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE.

English people hereditarily are to rank and wealth,
you have so alienated the respect and confidence of
the great bulk of the propertied class—the middle

class—round you, that you have no more poli-
tical power in the country than so many paupers
in a union workhouse."—(Hear, and loud cheers.)
Now, what Ills been done in South Lancashire—

done, as it were, in a canter—is nothing to what we
will do in future. They talk of recovering their lost
ground next year : I tell them, for their consolation,
bad as they are upon this registry, they will be a
thousand times worse upon the next.—(Applause.)
But this good system won't stop in Lancashire :
already, in the West Riding of Yorkshire they have
caught the contagion, and they are meeting in every
town and large village in the West Riding. I have
no hesitation in saying, that North Cheshire will be
as easily won as South Lancashire ; there are only
5,000 or so upon the registry there ; not one-half of
the people who are subscribers to the League and free-

traders in that county are upon the register. And
why should not we, in Manchester' and Oldham, and
Rochdale, send our contingent of free-traders across

,he Mersey to help them out of their trouble there ?
7(Applause.). North Cheshire, the West Riding of

Yorkshire, and North Lancashire, must be the neat

counties to follow the example of South Lancashire.
'I hen there's Middlesex ; I did not think the Cock-

neys would be easily moved, but I hear they are
catching the infection in London ; they are proposing
to add 500 or 1,000 fresh voters for the county of
Middlesex before the 31st of January.—(Applause.)
Now, it is a shame that there should be any doubt
about the representation of that county. If the people
of London had only a notion how easily they could
qualify, and how they are wanted t 9 qualify, they
would have ten times the strength necessary to secure
the county of Middlesex to the free-traders ; and I
doubt not it will be effectually done. Now, we shall
be told that this is very unconstitutional, if it is not
illegal—that is, that we should be adding to the con-
stituency of the country. Why, what does Sir Robert
Peel say ? " Register, register, register ;" and we are
about taking his advice.—(Loud applause.) But
you cannot register, register, register, till you have
obtained a qualification to be put upon the register.
Now, the very plan that he proposed for increasing
his strength, and the strength of his motley party in
the polling-booth, is the plan we propose in our case ;
but we do not endeavour or intend to do that which

the monopolist lords and :squires have done; V that is,
not to make fictitious, to put spurious and fictitious
votes upon the register.—(Hear.) We have no conve-
nient gamekeepers, or park lodgekeepers, whom we can
cram on—no sons, or brothers, or nephews of farmers,
whom we can compel to register, and to swear
that they are partners, if necessary, when they are no
more partners than I am.—(Applause.) What I say
is this—lay out 401. or 501. in property which will
bring you in 41. or 51. a year, and get yourselves
upon the county register, and have a vote: Now, I
was not born and bred a lawyer ; but I will defy all
the lawyers in the land, including Mr. Smith, the
Irish Attorney-General—(Loud laughter)—to prove
that there's any illegality in a man buying a freehold
property that will give him a vote, along with in-
terest for his money.—(Applause.) 'Whether it is
constitutional or unconstitutional I don't profess ex-
actly to understand ; for I never yet knew anything
good in this country got—whether it was abolishing
the old boroughmongering system, or getting rid of
Catholic disabilities, or of the Test and Corporation
Acts, or abolishing the hanging of people for a matter
of five shillings—(Loud applause)—l never knew
anything good of that kind accomplished in the shape
of reform, but there was one party in the State—
that party who used to be led on by the venerable
Lord Eldon—who were always sure to get out their
white pocket handkerchiefs, begin a crying, and de-
clare that if that measure passed, the Constitution
would be irretrievably ruined.—(Loud applause.)
Now, I don't profess to know what is constitutional;
but if there be anything unconstitutional in becoming
a county voter, I think, as there happen to be already
a great many 403. freeholders, the constitution has
been pretty much tried in that point already.—(Ap-
plause.) But I would guard you against supposing
that there is anything like trick, or manoeuvre, or
anything savouring of finesse, in endeavouring to
increase the voters on the register. It is in accord-
ance with the spirit as well as with the letter of the
law that men should aim at becoming voters. Why
is 40s. mentioned, and not 101., as it is, unhappily, in
Ireland and Scotland ? Why, because it is considered
that a man, having the intelligence, and the spirit,
and the desire to possess 40s. a year of interest for an
investment, will be a prudent, careful, thoughtful
man, who will be likely to send proper representa-
tives ; and, therefore the qualification is fixed at that
amount.—(Applause.) It holds out an invitation to
every man who has the means to qualify himself, and
become a voter for representatives in Parliament.
And I cannot Imagine anything more calculated to
do good to that honest and large class of operatives
who cannot afford to live in a 101. house,
and who yet ought not to be excluded from
the franchise—l cannot imagine anything more
calculated to raise them as a class in their
own estimation (and you cannot raise a
man unless by raising him in his own
estimation), than by inducing and persuading
as many of them as possible to possess
themselves of the county franchise, by investing
their savings in a freehold purchase.—(Applause.)
You thus do good not only to those who are encou-
raged to save money with such a prospect, but to a
large class besides, amongst whom you scatter men
who have themselves obtained a vote, and who will
act as missionaries in trying to induce those with
with whom they work—stimulating them by example
and by a spirit of rivalry—also to become free-
holders, and therby have a vote in the representation
of the country.—(Applause.) In every point of view,
then, we see nothing but good to result from the
movement we have now undertaken ; I look upon it
with the greatest interest, because I think we have
tapped a new vein, as it were, in this agitation, one
that I am sure will be productive of the best possible
results, not only to our agitation (for many things
want doing besides corn-law repeal, and others will
do here no doubt better than we have been able to do

this), but I see the greatest advantage to arise from
increasing the basis of our representative system, by
giving us many additional voters, and particularly by
those whose desire of being enfranchised will induce
them to lay by a share of their earnings, in order that
they may obtain the necessary qualification. Gentle-
men, I don't think I need to say more on the subject
to convince you, for I understand you are already
convinced, and that a very large number are
already prepared to obtain the qnalification.
I don't think I need to say anything on the
progress of our cause, or as it regards the main ar-
guments!in connexion with our question. You know
we have rather changed the aspect of affairs in this
country; manufactures are now up in in this draw-
well ; the bucket of the farmers is going down
empty, and ours is coming up a little more full. We
are in a sort of intermittent fever in this country ;
the ague is at one extremity to-day, the cola shiver
at the other extremity to-morrow.—(llear, hear.)
And this is the natural result of a system which
sets the laws of nature at defiance. But bear this
in mind : whilst your spindles are at work, if report
speaks truly, profitably at work just now, there
is that going on in the agricultural districts which
will assuredly bring those spindles in a short
time to a stand-still, or make them revolve with little
profit. You hear at agricultural meetings of the
want of employment for the labourers ; and the
farmers cannot employ them because they have not
money to pay them. Why cannot they employ and
pay them ? They have had a good harvest ; every
body admits that they have had a most splendid crop ;
and when they have been favoured by nature with
an abundant harvest, how is it they cannot afford to
employ their labourers and go on cultivating ? Simply
for this reason—they have taken their land at a rent
calculated at 565. or 60s. a quarter, and they are now
selling it in the country places at about 425. per
quarter.—(Applause.) But in those places where
the farmers have taken their land on a corn rent—
that is to say, to pay so many quarters of corn for
their rent, whatever the price of wheat may be, as the
farmers in a great part of Scotland are doing, and on
Lord Radnor's estates ;in Wiltshire—very much 0
that nobleman's credit—they are doing very well in-
deed, and making more money than when wheat was
high. I have got here a letter from a leading farmer
in Iladdingtonshire, a district of the Scotch Lothians,
where farming is carried to such perfection, and he
tells me that the farmers were never doing better in
Haddingtonshire, where they pay rent in proportion
to their produce—that is to say, if a man engages to
pay two hundred quarters of wheat as rent for two
hundred acres of land, if wheat is 50s. a quarter, he
pays 500/., if it is 40s. he pays only 4001: ; and thus
it makes no difference to him whether his produce is
high or low, only there is this advantage, he always
must prosper when wheat is low, and he is able to
pay his labourers better after a good harvest than
when corn is dear.—(Applause.) What does this
prove ? That all the distress of the farmers in the
