" Resolved, 1. That the trade and manufactures of
thi; country are labouring under great embarrassment
and difficulties.
That the industrious classes are also suffering
many privations, and severe distress.
"3. That this state of things has been gradually ad-
vancing for several years past, and is now extending in
a -roost alarming degree.
",4. That the alterations made in the Corn-laws,
and in the Duties on Imports and Exports, coupled- as
these laws have been with an Income- tax, to add nearly
Four Millions of taxation to this already heavily bur-
dened country, cannot be expected to afford that relief
which the continually declining state of trade and the
distressed condition of the people so urgently require.
" 5. That, therefore, the welfare of her Majesty's
faithful people, and the future peace and security of the
country imperatively demand that effectual measures
shall immediately be taken to rescue the working classes
• from tte privations and sufferings they have so long
borne, with a degree of patience and fortitude, which spe-
• cially entitles them to the affectionate sympathy of their
:Sovereign, and to the respect, commiseration, and assist-
ance of this House."
