LEEDS REFORMER&

LEEDS, AUGUST se.
)then Requisition has been determined on by
lers of the Reforui Party at this place, to be
ted to GEORGE BANKS, Esq. our worthy Chief
.rate, requesting him to call a Public Pdeeting,

ly as convenient, for the purpose of taking into
letation the best mode of peaceably obtaining a
in Parliament, and a redress of the heavy

axes under which one-half of the country at
it labours—the Meeting to be held either on
stet Moor, or wherevef else his Worship might
pleased to appoint. Bit' should he refuse again
41 such Meeting, it is the intention of the Aqui-
, themselves to call a General Meeting of.the

!tants of this and all the neighbouring Town-
, for the purposes above stated.
The Mayor, it seems, during the continuance of
othce, does not mean to deviate from the excellent
of conduct be has hitherto aclppted. He will not
his sanction to any Radical Reform Meetings, in
present unsettled state of the country ; nor will
on the other hand, countenance any coercive
to dissolve or prevent their Meetings, so,
as they conduct themselves in a way not to as
any serious breach of the public peace—think-
(wisely, no doubt) that it is much better to permit
to meet publicly, and give vent to their corn-
.ts, than sullenly to brood over them in private,
is no doubt, therefore, hut the ensuing Meet-
both as it respects the number of speakers and
will far outstrip any that Inv hitherto been
in this part of the kihgdom. The greatest exer-
are making by the leaders, and 'Meetings of
ties are held three times a week, in this town, to
the dispatches received from other districts,

arrange their plans of operation, be they what

May.

~fl
ptkes or other " deadly ;Deepens" have been dis-
Ted in this district; and it is very generally be.
here, that the seditious and threatening lan-
T which so plentifully bedaubs the walls of the

and gardens all round this town and neigh-
thcod, is not the work of Reformers, b4t of mis-
Le/ous persons who are enemies to the cause of Re.
'm, and who design by such practices to bring its
,Icattes into jeopardy, by imputing such conduct
ti.em, and thereby subjecting them to the hatred
their more peaceable and loyal fellow-townsmen.
The band of Reformers who marched through
'rsfurth, Wortley, Armley, &c. to Hunslet Moor,
Tuesday evening, with their colours and band of
.ic, created much alarm in the different places,
along the road they passed ; but whether it was
the cooling Flowers that fell, or what other cause,
never was an assembly that conducted them-
more peaceably. Previous to the breaking up
44: Metting, a vote of thank; to the worthy And
Nl:iyoi of Leeds was proposed, and carried

. . ,
with acclamations that rent the air for several miles
around.

A Subscription has been commenced here, in aid
of the funds that are collecting for the support and
defence of such individuals who may need it, that
have been taken into custody in the disturbed dis-
tricts, and who are now in confinement, or under
prosecution for alleged offences against the State.
A Female Reform Society has been established in
this town, and is already said to muster in conside-
rable strength. The idea of Petticoat Reformers
sounds unseemly ; and it can be attended with no
good whatever to alienate women's minds from their
domestic duties.
