NATIONAL CONVENTION.
The Convention met yesterday at nine o'cclock, in ul;
large room. Dr. Johnson's Tavern, Fleet-street. The Toole°
extremely full and many ladies were present.
• Mr. •UNCAN took the Chair.
The minutes of the hat meeting were read and confirmed'ty
Several Reports were received of meetings respecting
Charter, held in the metropolis, since the last meeting.
Mr. LOURIE proposed a resolution to the effect that 0
members of the Convention should write to their conditlejle
for information upon the truck system, and its bearing n
the interests of the working classes.
Mr. O'CONNOR seeonded the resolution. Few wereawer!,4
the evils inflicted by this syitern on the Working Classes, 'i;
he thought it the duty of the Convention to render to the C°
mitten all the evidence which lay in their power.
The resolution was carried.
Mr. PnILP then rose to ,propose the following resoluticte:'
" That with a view to the most speedy enactment of the
neo..
pie's Charter, this Convention recommend the people of ,
Britain totally to abstain from the use of all intoxicating dr;ck
also to abandoa the use of tobacco and snuff and refrain ssul
as possible from the use of all cxciseable articles, thstly
I these means the revenue may be affected, the people be
proved by sobriety, and the funds of the Chartist
sociation be made more ample ; and the Convention ;71
not refrain from expressing its opinion that ekao
man enlisting in the army, or the police, Wl-0,
the present corrupt institutions exist, becomes a slavish ti*J4.
the hands of tyrants, is a disgrace to his country, and en
I honour to the name of man." The effect of the
temperance in Ireland had been to deprive the Governen_o
the power of enlisting soldiers. Not a man could be foe!,
enlist, and he trusted the Convention would unanimouslYr
the resolution.
Mr. O'CoNrroit said that nothing could give him el;
pleasure than to see the practice of temperance universe" 0
he could not agree with Mr. Philp in mixing the sobjert
with the agitation fur the Charter. He thoughor
would be better to form a Committee to Ono,'
the subject. He moved, therefore, as an amend
" That we, the Delegates sitting in this Convention, in eff,
set an example to the people at large, and to prove our sPr
of the principles of temperance, do hereby pledge onrsel
abstain from the use of snuff and tobacco, and tins reo°,l°,
we adopt, in order that we may set an example
persons which we trust the people generally will es
worthy of adoption, and that both the recornmendatioe
amendment be submitted to a Committee who shall reef/
the Committee."
Mr. ROBERTS, of Bath, seconded the amendment;
he was almost afraid that the latter part of the rose°,
would subject them to a charge of sedition, seeing that
cording to the laws of the land an ignorant jury wet%
judges of what constituted sedition ; but still be must oWom
he thought that the man who took a glass of grog yvas Si t
a man as the man who refrained.
After a lung conversation,
Mr. WHITE moved that the subject be adjourned until's',
the presentation of the petition to Parliament. I
Mr. O'CoNNon, having withdrawn his amendusetot
motion of Mr. White was carried.
Messrs. Philp, Beesley, Bartlett, Stallwood, and Tbo
voted for Mr. Philp's resolution.
Mr. STALLWOOP moved a resolution, to the effect the-
Convention recommend the formation of Chartist Regisnd
Societies throughout England, Ireland, Scotland, and v"'",
for the purpose of placing all persons holding our opidloti
the borough and county registries, with the view of tete"
as many Chartists as possible to the next Parliament.
The resolution was carried.
Mr. BEESLEY then moved a resolution, to the effect till:
the next general election, Chartist candidates should b!A
minated, and if elected by the show of hands to retire. an
the day for the as embling of Parliament to proceed At
House of Commons to take their seats and to hold the
ejected by force.
After a short conversation, Mr. Beesley consented 0P:1
pone his motion until after the presentation of the petitio
the House of Commons.
The Convention adjourned at 2 o'clock.
