Pursuant to public notice, a Meeting of the

Rill- in his hand. The motto was, above his
bead, " The venerable Champion of our Cause,"
and at his feet, " For a Nation to be Free, it is
sufficient that it wills it," reverse, " Let all who
lo've Liberty, rally round the standard of Re-
form." Upon another was a painting of Wallace,
insciihed, " Sir William IVallaee," op the top,
and at the toot. " Like our ancestors, we'll defend
our Liberty and Laws " Upon another was a
spate and grape, with: the motto, " The mucking

King, and his"throne will he established in vigil-
teonsnesd.” " Reason not with Tyrants. man
has only once to die." "The Betoughmongers'
fall is Last approaching."-r-" Against Tyranny
and Oppression, our lives we'll spend our Rights

worth a whole eternity of bondage," &c. &c. All
the flags, a bundle of rods with the fasces, and a
black board, with the words, " Order ! Order !"
were placed upon the front of the hustings.
The business began a little after one o'clock by
a person reading the notice, and recommending a
Btodie for Chairman, who was accordingly
chosen, and a good looking young woman placed
a splendid cap of liberty on his head, amid the
cheers of the Meeting. Caps of Liberty and Ad-
dresses were pt esented by the Female Reformers of
Johnston, Millcrston, Kilbarchan and Elderslie.
Some short speeches ‘verellelivered. Resolutions
of the usual kind were passed ; and an Appeal to the
Prince Regent was read and voted, and Messrs.
Cartwright, \Vooler, Sheriff Patkins, Find
Dolby, are to be requested to see it delivered
to the Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment. Major Cochrane received the Thanks of
the Meeting for shielding the people from the
sabres of the Manchester Yeomen 011 the 16th of
August last. Mr. Spiers was thanked, with three
cheers, Itxr giving .the rdc.tiiig ale ground; and,
Votes of 'Thanks were given to the most dui-
trioni Radicals of the day. A number of Female,
Reformers remained upon the hustings duripg the
proceedings, and a number of the Commitpe and
spectators wore white hats. As the day was short,
and the weather cold, and many of die people bad
far to go, the speeches were brief and few.
As there were five caps of liberty on the hust-
ings, every speaker put on one when he addressed
the Meeting. The Chairman put on one, and
requested the people to go quietly home, and per-
severe in the cause of Reform, and he said be
would never cease to admire and advocate the
principles of liberty, or, if he did, he hoped a worse
curse would befall him than what fell upon the,
=ordering Cain. The Meeting then dispersed.
ithen the procession was returning. through
Elderslie, they halted beneath Wallace's tree,
and the band played " Scots wha 141 b wi' Wale
lace bled," and gave three cheereieridla number
of pistols were fired. The whole. hotly of the
people turned down Storie-str,cst Ito avoid the
Cross. A band of about 70.0 r 100 boys closed
the procession ; they carriekeight little flags,
with such mottos as—" The.braw Boys lament
for the Times"—" Bread andLiberty"—" The
Juvenile. Reformers." On one 4l,ag4hey had the
figure of a cock, and the motto—'' As the auld
cock craws, the young cock learns." On ano-
thet—" Let Tyrants tremble, and look down up-
on time rising Generation"—" Rights of Man," &c.
There was evidently a good number of pistols

in the M tiug, and all the Radicals via's
and two battle-axes were
.carried be Prrwei-
sion, and placed upon the hustings during the
'proceedings 'All the shops from the .ttorth cod
of Paisley to the head of torie-street were shut,

the people dispersed in the most peaceful manner,
and at six o'clock the streets were nothing'
thtouger than. 1440.
