I. " That poverty and destitution among the working classes,
and bankruptcy and impending ruin among the middle classes.
prevail at tnis time to a most a'arming extent, and are conti-
nuaily increasing; whilst the mat superabundant means for
the attainment a a high degree of permanent prosperity for all,
are unemployed or misapplied."
2. " That none of the ordinarily proposed measures—finan-
cial, commercial, political, or theological—are competent to
effect substantial permanent relief from the increasing difficul-
ties and sufferings of the middle and working classes."
[ Upon the foregoing Resolution the following was proposed
as an amendment :

all parties."
4. " That the means to provide Constant beneficial employ-
ment fer all, and a sound practical education for the rising gene-
ration, are possessed in superabtindance by the middle and
working classes, were they united ; and it is in the power of
these classes, by a wise combination of their mental and phy-
sical resources, speedily to secure a high degree of permanent
progressive prosperity."
5. " That the remedy ought to be immediately applied un-
der the direction of the tiovernment ; but that—as it is evi-
dent that those who conduct the national affairs are unac-
quainted with the mode by which such remedy can be applied—
this Meeting do petition both Houses of Parliament, memo-
rialise the Government, and address her Majesty, praying that
efficient individuals may be appointed to investigate this most
important subject.; and that the Meyers and Seconders of the
