laws
were based. They had come to a resolution declaratory
of their conviction that nothing short of a total and immediate
repeal of those laws would satisfy them. By their resolution
of yesterday, they determined to memorialize her Majesty,
to the effect that their demand was so essential to the welfare
of the country, that they humbly submitted that no man should
be admitted to her Majesty's Councils who was not prepared
to support a total and immediate repeal of the Corn-laps.
These being their views with regard to the conduct of others,
the Conference had now to determine what they would do them-
selves. The present resolution told them. It pledged them to
the declaration that no Member at present in the House
of Commons, who would not vote for Mr. Villiers's
motion, for total and immediate repeal should receive
their support at any future election ; that no future
candidate should receive their support if he would not
pledge himself to vote for a total repeal of the Corn-
la as ; and that the Conference recommended all their friends
to pursue the same course.—(Cin ers. ) This was the most
important resolution, either for good or evil—though he Loped
there was no chance of the latter—to which the meeting had
come.—( Cheers.) Yesterday some excellent friends suggested
that the Conference should show less oratory and more action.
Now this was a resolution of action.—(Cheers.) Nothing
but the extraordinary necessity of the case could justify it.
for he admitted that a certain freedom, and even an oc-
cesional difference of opinion, should be allowed between
a candidate and the constituents.—( Hear, and ehee-s. )
But this was not at all a political question. It was much
greater in importance than any Whig or Tory measure. It was
a question—What means were most conducive to an immediate
ard total repeal of the Corn-laws.—( Cheers.) He (Mr. APL. )
has. always been attached to the Whig party, because he be-
lieved their measures were the best for the country. But there
was no charm in a name ; and if, at the next election, he
should find a man saying he was a good Liberal, but
refusing to support the measure which they considered
the best for the interests of the country, they, the elec-
tors would have a right to say, Sir, you are not a
real Liberal ; you are sailing under false colours—(Cheers)—
and you are not entitled to our suffrages, unless only on con-
dition that you agree to support a measure which is really
calculated to benefit the community.—( Cheers.) But let no
man vote out of mere spite for an opposite candidate, because the
self-styled Liberal refused to support an abolition of the Corn-
law. That; would be wrong. In such a case. the elector's
best course would be not to Vote at all.—(Hear, hear.)
There were new about three hundred members in the
House of Commons, who would divide on a Liberal question.
All these would say that they disapproved of the Corn-laws,
but, if close questioned, they would conceal their opinions
under a cloud of words, it would be hund that they were
as much against a repeal of the ( orn-laws as the Conserva-
tives opposed to them.—( Hear, hear. ) This was true, and it
would continue to be the case as long as the people. were
content with appearances. Let them therefore determine at
last to act upon this principle; and if after that ordeal it
should turn out that they had but two hundred and fifty
Liberal representatives who were prepared to vote for an
immediate and total repeal of the Corn-laws, yet
the question would receive an impetus far beyond what it had.
It had apparently large support, but which included many
hollow friends, it not open enemies. This was the course they
' should adopt, and he therefore hoped that the resolution would
be unanimously adopted, and then acted upon. Those being
the opinions he entertained eT the present question, he would
conclude by cord:ally seconding the motion.—(Cheers. )
The CHAIRMAN next introduced to the Conference Mr.
PRENTICE, of Manchester, who came forward, and said that
he had been a member of the Manchester Anti-Corn-law Asso-
ciation from its commencement. He had been a member of the
National Anti-Corn-law League from its commencement, and
he therefore had had opportunities of observing to what circum-
stances they owed their advance ft om an exceedingly small and
weakly number to their present proud position of strength. He
believed that that had been attributed by most of the Members
of the Anti-Corn-law League to the clearness and explicitness
with which their principles had been propagated and worked
out. They had convinced those who were at first disposed to
say that the Anti-Corn-law League was a mere Whig trick—
they had convinced those by the earnestness and zeal with
which they advocated the cause of total and immediate repeal,
that their hearts were in the cause; and the consequence had
been, that they had gained over all those by whom they Were at
present surrounded, determined to pursue the same course as
themselves. Had they in the least suffered themselves to give
their consideration to any advantage likely to be derived from
a fixed duty or a sliding scale, they would not now have
the confidence of the country.—( Hear, hear.) He would
bring to their recollection how great an impulse their move-
ment received about this time last year from the proceedings
at the election of Walsall. He mentioned the circumstance
to show .that they ought not to throw over-board those who
were not disposed to go the full-length that they themselves went
in the present question. Let them follow up their principles
and leave event; to the working out of those principles. Last
year a vacancy had occurred in the representation of Walsall,
and two candidates offered themselves—one connected with the
Gladstone family, now in office—the other a young Whig gen-
tleman. immediately connected with the Whig aristocracy. A
Deputation waited.' upon those gentlemen to ascertain what
their opinions were with respect to the total and
immediate repeal of the Corn-laws. The Tory Gentleman
said he would give the question his best consideration. The
Whig Gentleman said that he had not given the subject so
much deliberation as should induce him not to come to the
conclusion that a fixed duty was the best course, but teat he
declined giving a pledge upon the question. The course of
the deputation, then, was to tell the electors, that having
signed petitions for repeal, and pressed resolutions at public
meetings, stating the absolute necessity for repeal, they wou!d
not be consistent with their petitions or their resolutions, if
they supported candidates who were adverse to total and im-
mediate repeal. There was a great outcry raised against them
by the Whig newspapers, because forsooth they had driven a
young gentleman of the aristocracy from the field. Mr. Smith
had not been returned, because he had been too late in the
field ; but he (Mr. Prentice) knew that Mr. Smith had re-
corded 200 votes more than the Whigpro-Corn-law man. Let
them mark the result of their conduct on that occasion. Such a
feeling had been created in the borough that at the following
election they advocated-total repeal. He stated that ch cum-
stance to overcome the objection of those persons who imagined
they (the opponents of the Corn-law) were doing great harm
to the Liberal cause if they stood up for principles, when they
had a per.on in some degree their friend opposed to a person
who was in a greater degree their enemy. He (Mr. Pren-
tice) should be ashamed that a test be put to the House of
Commons and to her Majesty's Ministry by this Shibboleth of
total and immediate repeal, if he did not give his consent to pledge
himself to a similar test. If they did not pass the resolution
now proposed they should appear before the whole country as
hypocrites. It was their duty as electors to pledge them-
selves never to return any bread-taxer according to
either the sliding scale with Sir Robert Peel, or a
fixed duty with Lord John Russell. Let them make a
stand. They had great encouragement to make a stand.
They had seers two successive Administrations driven to the
consideration of the Corn-laws. They had seen a Whig Ad-
ministration driven to a fixed duty of Bs., after having de-
clared that it was madness to advocate a repeal of the Corn-
laws. They had seen a Tory Administration brought to what
they termed a great modification of those obnoxious laws.
Seeing that, then, they ought to take up an advanced position,
and admit of no compromise at all. Let them demand of
every person who sought their suffrages as electors, to pledge
himself to total repeal, before he received a single vote. He
(Mr. Prentice) had many opportunities of mixing with the
people, and knowing their sentiments, and he was aware there
were opinions broached privately and confidently—not brought
forward at public rneet ings—which would have startled even him
(Mr. P.) radical Reformer as he was, some three or four years
ago. Ministers—either the late or the present ones—did not
know what was passing in the minds of the people. They
thought that because the people Mere peaceable, because there
was no rioting, no burning of ricks, no burning of cotton fac-
tories, the people were therefore indifferent to the great ques-
tion now agitated. But he could assure Ministers that the
people were not indifferent to it ; that they entertained opinions
that sooner or later, unless there was a great reform in our
commercial policy, would be exhibited in action. It
might be said that this was but a vain threat, proceeding,
solely from himself, but it was far otherwise. He therefore
warned the aristocracy not to provoke the- people too far.
He knew also—and he mentioned it because it had been alluded
to by his friend Mr. Sturge—( Cheers. )—he called him
friend because he was the friend of the human race—Crre-
mendous cheering)—he knew that there were numbers of
men who had made up their minds when the proper time
came, and he thought the time had come, insulted as they had
been, when they should follow the example of the body of
Friends, not to resist the law, but allow it to take its course;
they would not resist the payment of the assessed taxes, or
the collection of them, but they would allow the collectors to
come and take their tables and chairs. There was such a
thing as Chartism behind the Anti-Corn-law agitation, and let
not some deceive themselves, that because these men appeared
in opposition to Anti-Corn-law agitation, that they were fa-
vourable to taxes upon their bread. —( Cheers.) Those men
did not oppose the Corn daw agitation—no, they came with ad-
ditional agitation to say " We approve of the repeal of the
Corn-laws, but we begin to doubt whether you will obtain it.
You have been four times to London, you have been treated
with contempt every time, and therefore we call upon you to
join us in demanding the Chatter." He ( Mr. Prentice) differed
with them in that respect; he thought they had a more
immediate prospect of obtaining a repeal of the Corn-laws than
the Charter.—( Cheers. ) He would warn the members of the
aristocracy and the House of Commons that those who called
themelves Chartists—those who agitated for the Chat ter, were
with them to a man.—( Great cheering.) They were as much
opposed as themselves to the obnoxious laws passed by the
aristocracy at the point of the sword and bayonet. They
only doubted the efficacy of their means, and believed they had
good reason, seeing the manner in which insult and injury had
been heaped upon them during their agitation. He would
I warn the aristocracy. that these men were at the back of the
Corn-law Repealers—(Cheers)—and that, if they destroyed
the Corn-law agitation, they would only raise up Chartism
with tenfold force.—(Cheers.) They had passed a resolution
to test the House of Commons on Mr. Villiers's motion, they
had declared that they would support nothing but immediate
and total repeal ; and having done that, they could not refuse
giving their assent to the motion proposed by Mr. Sturge.
Mr. P. Tnoetrsoer, the son of Colonel Thompson, then
came forward to support the resolution. In sober sadness, he
thought he might ask them whether at last they were tired of
the course of folly of locking the stable door when the steed
was stolen.—(Cheers.) If the principles they advocated
were just now, they were so six months ago.—(Cheers.) Why
did they wait for seven years, which it might be, before they
were put in operation ? The question now was, what was to
be done to assist the patient at the last gasp 2—( Cheers. )
The blood was now pouring out of its wound at the neck,
and they were called upon to see what they could do
to staunch it.—((;ries of " Hear.") Some remedies had
been proposed; with respect to time, they had been told that
the time had come when some course should be adopted ; he
would say, that when this Bill had passed they should refuse
taxes.—(Great cheering.) Let him warn every man who
cheered in support of that proposition, to be determined to
carry it out.—( Cheers, and cries of "We will.") He would
scorn to come for ward and put to them anything that was un-
just ; but he believed there was a time when forbearance would
be cowardice, and submission crime.—( Hear, and cheers.)
The present was the only time to relieve distress, and he be-
lieved it would be efficacious as long as they went on with pas-
sive resistance.—( Cheers.) Stir Hobert Peel, and those con-
nected with him, knew that the dauntless spirit that pervaded
their Scottish neighbours still existed, and they knew that
the blood which flowed in the veins of their ancestors still ran
through the veins of some of their descendants.—(Cheers.) If
they took the course now proposed they might depend
upon it they would no longer having a starving popula'ion.
They might depend upon it nothing else would du any good.
He did not ask the poor wretches in the street to act for them-
selves ; they had told them to keep easy, and he trusted they
would exercise their trust as honest men.—(Cheers.) This
being the time for action, it • was scarcely necessary for him to
attempt to show the justice of the course he had adopted ; they
all felt that it was just, they all knew the destitution which
their fellow-countrymen were suffering. There was one cir-

ing. They knew how much the landed interest told
them that they (the land interest) had a right to pro-
tection, because they were taxed. They theoretically held their
land from the Crown, who reserved privileges to itself in the
shape of rent charges. Some land was held by a military
tenure, and others by different tenures requiring particular
services, all as much rent charges, however, as if they paid a
certain sum per annum. At the Restoration of Charles IL
they had wit enough to get rid of these rent charges, and place
them on the taxes ; let there be an end then of their talk about
