L

ring the past session incontestibly prove, that dint 'Us°
has no sympathy with, and does not in any inantwt re-
present the feelings of the people of this country ; Aiot. in
spite of the decay of trade, and the wide-spread desAits
tion of the operative classes, which were made manifess '
the House by the most authentic and tearful evidenme.
its Members have nevertheless retired to their amusi.s*.
ments and country sports, without taking one decide 3
step to alleviate the misery, the existence of which they
have been compelled to acknowledge."
Mr. ROBERT K. PIIILP seconded the resolution in en
excellent speech. Want of space will not allow us to
publish it.
Mr. G. P. HEALY, barrister-at-law, also spoke to the
resolution.
The resolution was then carried amidst lotwl cheers
without one dissentient voice.
JONATHAN DUNCAN, Esq., of Bombay, in an excellent
argumentative speech, moved the second resolution, and
pointed out "the robberies" of various Government from
the earliest days to the present time.
" That the facts affirmed in the foreFoing resolution'.,
added to a long experience of similar injustice, are suffi—
cient to convince the people, that the great vice of our
institutions is class legislation, or the legislation of the
few ft,r the few ; and, in the opinion of this meeting, the
only effective remedy for class legislation is, to give every
man 'a direct control over the making of those laws
which affect his social happiness and moral well-being'"
Mr. C. WESTERTON seconded the resolution.

Mr. J. IL EillEY moved the following resolution:---
"That while this meeting, therefore, views with high:
satisfaction the results of the contests entered into by
Mr. Sturge, at Nottingham, and Mr. Vincent, at Ips-
wich, on the principles of Complete Suffrage, they
earnestly call upon all true Reformers to promote the
cordial union of the middle and working classes, without
which it is impossible effectually to contend against our
owerful, selfish, and sordid aristocracy, but with which
the giant evil of class legislation would be speedily Anni-
hilated."
Mr. Loverr, who was very warmly received, said, in
seconding the resolution, that his definition of " complei"
suffrage" was to be found in the document called " Thu.
People's Charter."—(Loud cheers.) When his benevo-
lent friend, Mr. Sturge, called a conference at Birming-
ham, be went there to advocate that view. He met many
there whowere opposed to a great part of the Charter,
but after minutely examining it, point after point, they
determined that it was necessary to a just representation
of the people.—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. VINCENT, in supporting the resolution, declared
that he had never been to a public meeting, so firmly im-
pressed with the conviction that they stood upon the
very brink of the most imminent dunger as they stood at
that moment ; for to whatever part of the country they
looked, they saw the results of a long course of msrule
manifesting themselves in the actions of a starving people.
(We regret that want of space compels us to omit the
greater portion of Messrs. Lovett's. and Vincent's very
powerful. addresses.)
It is almost needless to add that the resolutions ,were
carried amidst the loudest applause.
Thanks • having been passed to the Chairman, and
duly acknowledged, the meeting separated with the most
enthusiastic cheering for Sturge, Complete Suffrage, and
the Charter.
