The CHAIRMAN said that he had been called upon very
unexpectedly, and at. a notice of only.a few minutes, to
preside over the present. meeting.
He felt, therefore,
new .unprepared he was to addre.sS such an assembly.;
but that mattered little. The cry of suffering and dis-,
tress would make itself heard, and if that distress were
not speedily relieved he believed that that distress would
ere long make itself heard in a Voice of thunder—
(Cheers)—which would frighten the .Gorernment and
the Legislature from its propriety.--(.Conlinued cheer-
ing.) • That part of their business would not be difficult.
It would be no difficult matter to bring before the nation,
the Legislature, and the Government details of •the in-
tense sutferin and misery, which was overwhelming a
a large portion of, their fellow subjects. They would
have no difficulty in showing terrible statistics on that
part of the-subject—statistics -harrowing:to the heart of
every man who had a heart that; eetild 1t 1, The next'
portion of their labours would be 10 shoe that the prin-
cipal cause of these evils was seareity'Of food—a
scarcity bretight about by the S'ytieliation of- the Corn-
laws.—(Loud cheers.) It appeared, however, that the
Gev. mment entertained grave doubts as to whether the
remedy fur starvation was a liberal supply of cheap
food. If they. were suffering from nakedness he won-
dered whether the Government would doubt if a supply
of cheap clothing was the proper remedy. They had a
third duty to perform. If the Government still turned a
deaf ear to their representations, and refused to
relieve the wants of the poor, they must return to their
constituents, and tell them that they had made repre-
sentations to the Government as to their starving con-
dition—that they had pointed, out the means of relief—
that the Government had turned a deaf ear to their re-
monstranc—that they had nothing to hope—that they
had finished their work, had performed their duty—had
:toted the tdstress and the remedy—that the Legislature
had refused the remedy ; and it would be their duty to
say to the people,. " God help you, for Ire only can."
Ta o day Would ue day of business—of business of for-
maLty rather than of statistics. The Committee would
sit at six in the evening, and the delegates were re-
quested to lay their statements before the Committee in
the ,vermz, in time to prepare the business for the
morrow.

TABLE OF rREMIUMS TO ASSURE £lOO Pen THE WHOLE
TF.RNI OF LIFE.

JOU N Ba IG HT, Esq., of Rochdale, proposed that George
Thompson, Esq , act as Secretary to the Conference.
Tin; 11ev. Mr. CA :MILE seconded the motion.

. .
:ecommend all to read it, as it gave a faithful picture of
he prevalent distress. Coming further south, in the
igricultaral counties of England the poor-rates were at
;Ins moment rapidly on the increase. (hear,
:rear.) They found in these counties the farmer
rho was paying 300/. a year, saying that he !mist
•educe the wages of his labourers because of that great
won of the Government which was to assist the revenue
Ind commerce—because he would have to pay the In-
.oine-tax, he must therefore reduce his wages. A gen-
leman had conic up from Manchester with him (Mr.
3right), one who did not agree with them as to the means
hey proposed for the relief of the distress, and he
:aid that the population of Somersetshire were living
in charity. If they went to that part of the
!enntry they would find that 2.0 or 30,000 persons were
now out of employment who were a short time ago in
comparative comfort. In Ireland they found that famine
was stalking through the land, and that riots were taking
place, men being killed by the police, merely because
they endeavoured to obtain food. How then could they
sit calmly by? Humanity, if nothing more, would Call
them from their homes. But there was a feeling of
policy—their own safety, and the safety of the country
were at stake. Within the last three weeks there had
been sitting in that House, a Committee compesed of
men from Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Cheshire. They
had formed themselves into a Committee on the distress
of the country, in order to make the subject know
throughout the country. They had given public notice
that they would be glad to receive correct facts as to
what was going on trith • respect to the condition of the
people. The facts they had collected were voluminous..
- They had received a vast quantity , of letters, all
giving a itatemeut of facts such as to appal the
stoutest heart. They intended, by their endeavours to
call the attention of the public, and the conductors of the
public Press to the subject. That Committee was still
sitting, and they would continue to do all in their power
to lay these facts before the country, believing that no
country that was moral and humane-would fail to ap-
ply a remedy if it were possible. A remedy had been
proposed, and that had failed. There was no man in bis
senses who would say that the remedy tried had been effec-
tual. The Au ti-Corn-law League had proposed a remedy,
the only remedy for that distress. They saw their own
property slipping away from them, and those who had
less property starving ; and were they to see themselves
beggared, and the best interests of the country ruined,
and not step forward determined to press upon the notice
of the Government the magnitude of the distress ?
(Cheers.) When the slave question was before the
country Joseph Sturge did that single-handed which
they were striving to do then.—(Cheers.) . Although the
Emancipation Act was passed still there were eight
months to run before the slaves would be entirely eman-
cipated ; and he thought it was monstrous that 800,0 so
of our fellow-beings should remain even for eight monthS
in slavery. They must remember that, although eight
pinhgsStbuergineg
i
snatrl)ts,
mwuashiaosilsood.ritt tiBmoeo,,oso-oettiBmoeso,ooojobsee
ob-
tained their emancipation, and none rendered him
more assistance than did their worthy Secretary.
But now • the question was, were they, in the present
state of things, to stay at home and make no effort to
relieve the country from its distress ? They had interests
at stake as well us the members of the Government,
and they were is solved not to rest till some check should
be put to the plague which was desolating the
country. They had prostrated what had taken place
years ago. At that moment he held in his hand a
Report published by the Chamber of Commerce
at Manchester, four years since, which he
would read fur the purpose of showing that they
had prophesied what had occurred. lie then read
the document in question, stating that it must •be evident
to every reflecting mind that there were causes at work
which, unless met with promptitude, would produce
inexplicable difficulty; and the impossibility of finding
profitable employment fur the people so long as the
laws unjustly prohibited them from freely exchanging
their own commodities for those of other countries, at
once indicated an evil. " Monopolies," concluded the
Report, "can no longer be tolerated." Why, that man
must be out of his senses who did not at once admit,
that what was then prophesied had literally come to pass,
except that the crisis had hurried on with greater ra-
pidity than it was then anticipated it would du. Now
fur tins evil they ofThred a remedy. He did not know
that he ought to go into that topic, as the business
Of the Conference was to collect such facts from
all parts of the country ' as would stop the
mouth of every gainsayer. and to compel every
man to acknowledge, however he might &Cr from
them as to the remedy. to be applied, that it
could no longer be endured that such a state of suffering
should exist throughout millions of our population.—
(Cheers.) NeW they wished for peace-0.1%w, hear)
they wished. for- nu violence.—(hear, hear.) They
would not have the Curn-law, or any other law, removed
by the shedding of one drop of blood. They had no
wish to quarrel with any institution or any' party in
the State.—(Bear.) They were organised for the
purpose of -obtaining the repeal of the Corn-laws,
which they believed to be productive of the greatest pri-
vations amongst their suffering coutstrymen. They had
come there as a matter of necessity. They must look
their position fairly in the face, and consider the im-
mense responsibility which rested upon them. Parlia-
ment had declared dint it could do nothing for the
country. It was for them, before the meeting separated
at the close of that week, to propose such a plan to the
country as would bring the Parliament to see that
tire people had the power—(the remainder of the sentence
was lost in loud cheers). Although they held the
- principles of peace, without infringing on them in the
slightest degree, they considered that the country and
the people had the power to compel attOution to this one
question, and to compel a settlement of it.—(Loud
cheers.) There were other weapons than those of war;
there were other weapons besides those which wisunded
the body ; there was a most beautiful and admirable sys-
tem which the people had in their own power, and to
, which lie was fully persuaded they were rapidly drifting,
which, if put into active operation, woula not fail
to bring the struggle to a .successful issue.—(Loud
cheering.) They were not assembled for the pur-
pose of bullying any one, or of uttering threats
which they were not able to carry into effect.—(Hear,
hear.) Ile was as convinced as he was of his own exis-
tence, that the prosperity of this country depended upon
the settlement of this question. lie felt the respon-
sibility of the position in which they were placed, and
he trusted it was equally felt by all who were there pre-
sent. Everything depended upon the course which tire
i Delegates should pursue at the termination of their.
labours that week. He prayed that they might
act wisely and firmly, that they might enable
the Government to see that the time was come when
this question could no longer' be tampered with—
that the time was come when justice and mercy must
ta.ke the place of cruelty and oppression—(Hear, hear)
—and if the Government should still refuse to hearken,
he for one trembled at the result. He had now finished
what he had intended to address to the meeting. In
conclusion, ho would only add, that the ground upon
which the Council of the Anti-Corn law League had re-
solved to invite Delegates from every part of the country
was, that they might collect facts from every district, and
decide upon some wise and decisive cuune of action, in
this great crisis of our national affaies.—(Cheering.)
The CHAIRMAN then called upon Mr. Plint, of Leeds, to
make a report of the state of that town and district.
Mr. PLINT said, - it devolved upon him to make a statement
of facts relative to the condition of the woollen trade of Lecd
There were three gentlemen from that district who would fol-
low him, and who would enter into details respecting the state
of. the retail trade ; of pauperism ; and of time condition of the
working classes in those districts. Therefore, if he (Mr.
Plint) should touch upon those subjects, it would be only in-
cidentally that he shou'd glance at them. He would refer the
meet ng to a statement which had been made in December last.
at a meeting of Delegates from the West Hiding of Yorkshire.
assembled at Leeds, and which statement had never been gain-
sayed. Up to December last, from 1838 to 1841, time failures
in the staple trade of Leeds—he meant in the flax-spinning,
the machine-making, and the woollen trade—amounted to two
millions, while the average dividends paid upon those failures
did not amount to 6s. Bd. in the pound. Such had been the
statement made at the meeting. He had since had reason
to know that, instead of 6s. 8d„ it would have been
ncarer the truth to have stated that. the average amount of
dividends on that enormous sum did ',not exceed ss. in the
pound. Since that time insolvency had been going on in-
creasing in all the staple trades of Leeds. The insolvencies
which had occurred in the woollen and flax trades since that !
period amounted atleast t 0200,000/. more, and he wasin a con-
dition to show that the average dividends upon those failures
would -not exceed in amount the dividends upon the former
failures. These failures had taken place among parties who
were supposed to be perfectly safe—who had been considered
hitherto out of harm's way; and even among those which as
yet stood firm, there was a nearer approach to insolvency
than they dared to contemplate. At that meeting allu-
sion had been made to the enormous deterioration
of mill property—a deterioration then stated to be from 30 to 40
per cent. If mill property was now brought into the market,
the deterioration would be found to amount to upwards of 70 per
cent. Be would relate an instance to prove this. lie
knew a concern which had be;:ome insolvent; a ques-
tion arose as to whether it should be worked or not :
the mill and property was taken at a valuation of
18,000/. ; it had cast between 50,0001. and 60,0001., and even
at that decreand valuation of 18,000/. it was now a doubtful
point whether it would not turn out a bad speculation.
Another important fact to which he would allude, was the
consumption of butchers' meat. The consumption of butchers'
meat in Leeds in 1841, as compared with 1835 and 1836, had
fallen one-quarter in quantity, while in price it had increased
40 per cent. 'The diminution of the consumption of butchers'
meat by the working classes, could not, however, be estimated
by this fan. The middle and upper classes would continue to
consume the same quantity of butchers' meat in 1841 that
they did in 1835 and 1836 ; so that the average diminution of
consumption of butchers' meat by the working classes could
not be considered at less than one-half in 1841, as compared
with 1835 and 1836,; and the consumption was going on
lessening weekly. Thessubject ,of the increase of the poor.
rates in Leeds he should leave to the gentleman who would
follow him, and he would now pass on to the subject
of the employment of labour. Perhaps some gentlemen did
not know what were termed gigs in Leeds. Gigs were machines
used fur cutting smooth the nap of cloth. Of 400 gigs in
Leeds not more than one-half were in employment, and the
difference in the amount of wages paid in consequence amounted
to 60,0001. per annum. Th decrease in the employment of

The motion was put and unanimously agreed to.
' WILLIAM 'FISHER, Esq., of Rechdale, moved that the
' following gentlemen should form the Executive Corn-
' mince, with power to add to their number :—Messrs.

Massie (Manchester), Bailey (Sheffield), Shuttleworth

teries), Livesey (Preston). William Fisher (Sheffield),
Sir Ralph Pondlebury (Stockport); Charles Baker
(Stockport), Thomas Harwood, Morgan (Stourbridge),
Colonel Thompson (London).
The motion was unanimously agreed to.
JOHN BRIGHT, Esq., of Rochdale, was then called
upon by the Chairman, and proceeded to address the
meeting on the subjects which had brought them
together. It was thought advisable by the Executive
Committee that the gentlemen present, and the public.
should be put in possession of the grounds on which it
had been decided that they should again meet in Lon-
don. It would be easy, to point out many reasons for
adopting such a course ; but one, he thought, would be

a sense of the distress which prevailed throughout the
country, and to induce them to adopt the only measures
which it was believed would materially alleviate that dis-
tress. It was a very unusual circumstance that two Confer-
ences should take place in th e sante session of Parliament,

measures which they considered as a sort of satisfaction
of the canes of the nation. By the labours cf the late
Conference a very great excitement had been produced
throughout he euuntry•' which, added to the excitement
that already prevailed, became so strong that the Go-
vernment found it was no longer possible to resist, it. It
was matter of surprise to many that that excitement had -
since subsided—that it was, apparently at least, stifled
since the passing of the new Curn-law—a law which he
contended had not in any way mitigated the public dis-
tre:s. But there were many who at first believed that
the change in the Corn-laws, coupled with the altera-
tions in the tariff, would produce a beneficial effect,
and restore to us our former prosperity. This expecte-
sloe had induced many parties to wait in patience, not-
withstanding the general suffering. Many, too, felt
that the Government shad a very large majority
in Parliament, and that it would be vain to attempt to
influence or control them. There also prevailed in the
minds of many a feeling of hopelessness ainounting
almost to despair.—(Hear, hear.) All these circum-
stances had tended to create that apathy in the public
mind to which he had referred. But any one conversant
with the state of public feeling must be convinced that
the general quietude did not arise from any alleviation
of the general distress in consequence of the measures
which had lately been passed. The apathy which now
prevailed was more to be- dreaded, and more to be re-
gretted, than the former excitement, because it arose
from a feeling of . despair, and a belief that from
the Legislature no relief was to be hoped. 'When
the Delegates had last separated, the friends of the
cause had expressed their determination of pursuing
that course fur enlightening the public mind which
they had hitherto found so effectual.—(Hear, hear.)
The Anti-Curndaw League had bees established for the
purpose of laying before the Legislature and the country,
and showing that their own interests were aeply involved
in the consideration of this question. They ail knew of
the necessity which there was for its consideration. If
they represented this to an intelligent and sensible man,
and brinight these facts betbre him, humanity would
teach him to come forward in this cause. It was impos-
sible to resist it ; therefore, by enlightening .the country
they were best advancing its interests. This was the
course they intended to pursue. Circumstances had
arisen which rendered it necessary; for them to take steps
at once. In February last a pamphlet was published,
containing accounts of the distress in various parts of
the estuary, which were collected by the Delegates then
m assebled. The facts in that pamphlet are sufficient to
shake any man, to make any. Government or Legisla-
ture, out of common honesty and patriotism, to look
about them, and see if something could not be dune to
stop the increase of the-distress. But the state of the
country in February was comparatively comfortable to
what it was at present. The last hve months had
been worse. than the previous twelve months, and what
would the next three months be ?—(Hear, hear.) it

ings of his neighbour, humanity would teach him. to
turn his attention to the subject. Within the last six
months circumstances had occurred which had rendered
the state of the country a hundredfold worse than before,
and they !blind that there was no chance whatever of
relieving that distress if they sat at home without
melding an effort to abolish those laws which had pro-
duced the distress. That distress it would be easy for
hint to depict, but he would not take up the time 01 the
meeting with details, because there would be sufficient
facts laid before them . by others, who came from the
neighbourhoods—there was no neighbourhood in
which the distress did not exist—who would lay the
facts before the meeting, and he would therefore-leave
to the Delegates the task of laying before the meeting
facts more fully than had hitherto been gone into. But.
thero was one thing he would state, and that was, that
the distress was universal.—(Hear, hear.) If they went
to Scotland they found Forfar, Glasgow, Paisley, in
desolation. If they came further south, they would
hear from a Delegate from Newcastle that almost
the whole of the working population were out
of employment, and were living on the charity given
out by the town-council. He had a letter from Shields,
in which it was stated that the trade was almost annihi-
lated. In Lancashire many towns were actually sub-
sisting • on charity. Bolton and Stockport were in a
state of desolation. In Leeds it was worse still, there
were 30 or 40,000 persons existing upon charity alone.
If they went to Sheffield, he believed they would
find that men were not possessed of one quarter
the comfort they had three years ago---men as able to
work as any living, and yet they were driven to the
lowest state of distress. It was the same in Derby-
shire. Ho had seen a letter that morning in the
Morning Chronicle, givincr
au account of the state of a
place called.llinckley, iii Leicestershire, and lie would

' I gigs indicated a comparative decrease in the manufacture of
cloth, and a comparative diminution in the amount of wages.
Taking into account the worsted and flax manufactures, he -felt
justified in stating that the amount of wages paid in Leeds
amounted to 200,000/ per annum less in 1841 than it had
in 1835 and 1836. At that meeting a Committee had been
appointed for the purpose of investigating the state of trade
throughout the West Riding. Various questions bad been
circulated throughout the Riding for that purpose, and a
considerable portion of the details there collected had been
hid before the public in a Report made by the Committee
in the month of March last, to which he had taken
the liberty of adverting. The first part of the Report
ie hated to the deterioration of the rate of wages. There had
been an average fall in the rate of wages of 20 per cent. in the
}ears from 18e9 to 1841, as compared with the years from 1833
to 1835. But theie had net merely been a fall in the rate of
wages, there had been a diminution in the amount of employ-
ment. The amount of employment had fallen off at least two-
fifths
in the years 1839 and 1841, as compared
with the years 1833 to 1835. So that, taking
into account the fail in the rate of - wages,
and the diminution in the amount of employment, the earn-
ings of the operatives were decreased at least fifty per cent.
The real wages, therefore, taken home by the working man on
Saturday night did not now amount to above one-half of
what they did in 1835. He had in his possession a document
to which he should hereafter allude, which brought out that
statement most strikingly. Then with regard to the
retail trades, the decreased consumption of butchers'
meat had been accompanied by a corresponding decrease
j in the consumption of articles of provision of every description,
and grocers and provision dealers of all sorts, were rapidly sink-
ing. He would not touch upon the quest ion of the Poor-rates
of Leeds, but he would merely allude to the comparative state
of the Poor-rates in the village of Idle. Idle was an extensive
parish. engaged principally in the manufacture of white cloths. ,
In 1839 the number of persons relieved, amounted to 1,574,
end the amount of money expended, was 938/. In 1840 the
number relieved, was 2;558, and the amount expended was

11s. 6d. The person from whom he had derived this infor-
illation stated in his letter, that the amount of pauperism could
not be judged of by the number of persons relieved, because
hitherto they had employed a great number of paupers upon
the highways, and they had been relieved out of the highway-
rate. Nearly everything had been done to the highways that
could be done, and when the highway work should be finished,
he was at a loss to know what could he done with the poor.
His informant concluded his letter by saying that, if some-
thing were not done, and dene seeedily, they
must all perish, either by famine or by the sword,
The same person had told him (Mr. Mint) he knew of cases,
not of starvation, but of death front the consequence of
insufficient sustenance, and such ewes would be frightfully
prevalent throughout the destitute districts, unless something
were speedily done for their relief. He would new contrastthe
state of the export trade in 1841 as compared with 1835. He
would read returns from the different villages. From Stangley
it was two. thirds less ; from Erreck it was three-fourths less ;
from Batley the export trade had nearly ceased ; and from
Putsey the export trade to Portugal and all parts of Europe, was
not one-fourth what it had been. These were not thestatements
of individuals, but were statements passed &unanimously at
meetings of the great body of the manufacturers held in each
village. In his own opinion the export wool trade of Leeds
with the Continent of Europe would in a few years entirely
cease. The correspondents of the Leeds manufacturers were
constantly stating that with regard to certain articles which
they had hitherto been in the habit of getting from Leeds they
could now get them cheaper on the Continent ; and an extensive
manufacturer had told him that the wool trade, as far as the
Prussian League was concerned, was passing to ex-
tinction and dying away. He would now allude
to the depreciation of capital. There could be no mistake
with regard to the process to which capital had been subjected,
althaugh there might be as to the sweating process of gold,
about which they had heard so much.—(Cheers.) He had
some years since calculated the total capital employed in the
woollen trade at 10,000,000/., of which 3,333,000/. was em-
ployed in the neighbourhood of Leeds. The capital of Leeds
and its neighbourhood had been depreciated 33 per
cent., and that loss had takes, place in the float-
ing capital, which rendered it the more embarrassing.
With respect to the decline of the trade in woollen cloth of
Leeds, he had found, last February, that 29 out of 209
billies were broken up since the year 1831 ; 34 were shut up ;
128 were making one-half or one-third time; and nine only
were working full time. He knew also that since that time a
farther decline of the trade had taken place. There was, he
believed, a decline in the Leeds trade, since the year 1831, to
the amount of 500,000/. But it. might, perhaps, be said that
trade had changed, and that although there WAS no longer
the same consumption of woollen cloth there was a
further demand for other articles.—( Hear.) It. appeared
however, that no such increase hall taken place. The people
of Huddersfield, and other districts, would tell them that their
trade had shared in the general decline. The meeting would
find that there was no increase in any commodity', the produce
of oir manufactures. With reference to the employment of
our woollen manufactures, he had stated in December last that
if they looked to the whole number of gigs in Leeds, they
would find them nearer to 400 than 300. He had reason to
know That, out of the entire number, the average amount of
labour amounted to no more than 2 3-sth days, instead of
, 6 tiers per week. 'the consequent decrease in the payment of
wori:men, arising from that diminished employment,
amounted to 81,9841. per annum. There was also
a falling off in the pal ments for finishing, amount-
ing to 163,000!. ; which made a total diniinution
of wages in Leeds to the amount of 243.000/. in the
Woollen trade alsne. There was further a decline in the
worsted, flax, and machinery trade, which lie might set down
at 5i0,09'31. more ; which would give 327,000/. as the diminu-
tion in the wages paid for the staple trade of Leeds. There
were in addition many (Ater trades dependent upon that. which ,
acre not included in the calculation he had made. He be-
lieve; that the entire diminution might fairly be set down at
450,000!. instead of 327,000/. How then was it possible,
while this was the case, to expect that the enormous !
amount of privation and misery which existed could be
effectually met by begging letters—( Hear)—by poor-rates, or
by the charitable contributions of individuals?—( Hear.) Ile I
would say a few words with respect to the general state of trade
and the condition of the operatives. He hail been for many
years familiar with the condition of the working classes of
Leeds. He had known something of their habits, their ap- ,
pearance. their expenditure, and their general style of living
10, 15, and '2O years ago. It was with pain he had observedr
that within the last 18 months especially a great change had
taken place in their condition, and even in their very looks. No
man who knew the operatives of Leeds 15 years ago, while in the
enjoyment of robust. health, could now meet iem without
observing that privation and deep suffering were written in
the very wrinkles of their countenances.—(Hear, hear. )
I He had met, the other day, a man who had formerly been
in comfortable circumstances, but who had shared in
the general reverses which had of late taken place,
as his sorry appearance evinced. That man asked him
whether he thought they could calculate on any alteration
in the state of trade ; he replied that he thought not
before Christmas. " 'Then," said the poor man, " I shall -
be tinder the sod before the time conies round. I can
assure you 1 have been two days together within
the last three months without any food. i now feel that within
me which tells me that, accustomed as I have been to live in
comparative comfort, my daysshall be ended, if the hoer of re-
lief does not soon arrive." He (Mr. Plint) had beets
much struck by those expressions ; and he believed
they expressed the feelings of many of our operatives.
'there was a circumstance which would probably give some
weight to his opinions respecting the inefficacy of any remedy
which had as yet been devised to diminish the national distress,
and which he should, therefore, mention to the meeting. Two
or three months ago, on considering the measures brought
forward by the Government, and the concessions they had
made, lie had expressed an opinion that those measures
would in their ultimate issue prove greatly beneficial to the
country. lie believed at that time that the country would be
enabled to get the vessel once more before the wind, and to
bring her safe through the storm. But he now confessed that the
resources of the country appeared to him to be so exhausted
and so paralysed that no adequate remedy had yet been offered, I
and that we we' never could expect to rally again unless some
more effectual measures were taken than any that had yet been
devised. The Corn-laws hail been so long continued, that I
foreigners had been compelled to increase their manufactures ;
and they were now determined on protecting them to the ex-
clusion of ours. No relaxation on our part would therefore be
followed by a corresponding concession by foreign nations. That
was the result of the insane policy which the Legislature
of this country had so long pursued.—( Hear.) They should I
look with infinite alarm to the hostile position which the two '
extreme classes of society in England had assumed. He saw
upon the one hand the Legislature persisting in a course of po-
licy which could promote no interest but their own, while the
deepest dissatisfaction prevailed among the people whose interests
was sacrificed for the benefit of a class. He believed that if a
collision were to take place, it would be one of the most
fearful character—a collision between the oppressor and the op-
pressed—between those in power and those who suffered under
their rule. There was further danger in the mistakes which pre-
vailed among the working classes relative to the manufacturers,
and which a foul-mouthed man in the House of Commons had so •,
insanely fostered. When Mr. Ferrand had brought for-
ward his fallacies in the House of Commons, with a
view to show that the manufacturers were the op-
pressors of the people, the leading Minister of the
Crown, who had himself avowed the principles of
free trade, declined to stand up and indignantly rebuke the
unmerited censures cast upon one of the most important classes
of the community. The Prime Minister of England, forgetting
that be occupied the place of a representative of the interests
of the country at large, listened in silence to the
charges of Mr. Ferrand.—(hear, hear.) There was
much of danger to he apprehended from the feuds which ex-
isted between the different classes in this country. There was
I a very striking parallel between the present state of society in
England and the state of society in France prior to the
French Revolution. 'There was this further circumstance to
alarm the privileged classes in England, that the great
mass of the operatives were enlightened as to their own rights
and just in proportion to their enlightenment, and to their
sense of the iniquities they had suffered, was danger to be ap-
prehended from their resentment of the wrongs they had endured.
' The middle classes did not stand between the two
extremes of society, because sophism the most dangerous to
the peace of society had been resorted to, for the purpose of
feeding the animosity of the operatives against the class imme-
diately above them. The Prime Minister, so far from check-
ing, seemed to have countenanced those sophisms; and the
result of those protteedings was, that a wide and dangerous
breach had been effected between the different classes of the
tomattnity.,—( Cheers_ )
Mr. Jottlesoe, of Leeds,next proceeded to address the meet-
ing.
It would be his business to call their attention more
particularly to certain facts in reference to the operation of the
Poor-law in the township of Leeds. It so happened that since
