)Ir. Slade. Hg gave the answer to Mr. Slade, without contem-
plating that Mr. Slade, as an' honourable man, would"-'pule
lish it.—(Hear, hear.)--He gave the answer not as one to the
Livery, but to Mr. Slade, as a private individual. - If Mr.
Slade had asked for the information of his fellow-Liverymen,
Then he (Mr. Ward) would have answered, that Mr. Slade
was not the organ of the Livery,—(Applause.)—Any commu-
nication with the Livery would have been made in less abrupt
terms. He begged to state, that if an Alderman's gown were
offered to him, he would decline it ; not from any disrespect to
that body, either individually or collectively, fur he was well
aware that the merchants of London were greatly obliged to them
for the care which they took of the city police, and the protection
afforded ; but because, as had been stated, he thought the proper
folfilment of the duties of a city magistrate were incompatible
with those of a representative.—(Applause.)-L-He knew well that
ha such condition was annexed to the repreaentation for the
town of Liverpool, which was the second commercial town in
the kingdom, and the 6,000 votes given at the former election
to Mr. T. Wilson, convinced him that no such condition was
nquired by the Livery.—(Hear, (tear. )—.ln stating to Mr.
Slade that he shoeld be unfavourable to any measure of Par-
liamentary Reform, he had expressed himself in a manner
which required seine qualification. He should not be unfa-
vourable to any' alteration which could be made with perfect
safety ; for instance,, great corruption had been proved to exist
in the borough of Grampound, and lie, for one, should have
been forward to vote for an alteration in the representation
ti"re•—(Hear, hear.)--.But there was a great difference be-
tween corruption proved and corruption asserted. Reform, as
Mr. Canning had stated to the electors of Liverpool, could
""IY be effected by reverting back to the old system, or by the
recoustruction of our political edifice. This reconstruction
mut, of course, be preceded by the demolition of our present
e Nice, to which he would never consent, so long es we en-
joyed personally liberty and freedom of opinion in its present
f'rm. lie would always endeavour to uphold existing rights
and privileges, and, amongst the rest, would be those of his
constituents, the Livery of London. If Parliamentary 'Re-
form, of which universal suffrage was a part, were adopted,
every merchant or trader's clerk, and every one bearing the
form of man, who presented himself, would he entitled to a
rate, and the rights and privileges of the city would be proper-
li"hotely affected..--(Hear.)—ln conclusion, he stated, that he
acne forward as the substitute for Mr. Thomas Wilson. lie was
entirely unprepared to make professions on particular points ; lie
waa not prepared to make any pledge on the Catholic Question ;
he held it unconstitutional that their representatives should go to
Parliament fot T,..d by any such engagements. In their church
service they prayed to prosper the deliberations of their Legisla-
t"rel and how could they deliberate, if they were tied down by
Plefigaa ?—(Cheers.)
Thanks were moved by Mr. S. CURTIS to the Chairman.--
Alderman Cox seconded the motion, which was carried unani-
mously, and the meeting separated.
