PUBLIC MEETING D GLASCOT,
CONCERNING ILL-DISPOSED WORK AI If; N.

_WEDNESDAY, APEIL 12.

Pursuant to a Requisition, a highly numerous and
respectable Meeting of the Manufacturers, and Pro-
prietors of Public Works, was held yesterday in the
Town-hall; —The'Liiiiii*Ptfoiiiisl was called it, ft:
Chair. In a brief but neat and appropriate spec.h,
heOpened the busineis of the Meeting, and expre,sed
his sincere regret that such a treasonable conf:deracy
should have sullied the character.of the country. He
described .the important and difficult duties v:liicit
Magistrates had to perform at so critical a period._
He was perfectly happy to say, that the disaffeckd
hail been thwarted in their mad and criminal de-
signs, and hoped the good effects of the treasusys
which would be proposed at this Meeting would pre-
vent the like occurrence in future.

Mr. ICt RIEMAN FINLAY', in proposing the Rem
tions, remarked, that the present treasonable coati-
deracy had been in contemplation for a number
of years. This spot was the very centre of the
Rebellion ; and he stated, with the utmost con-i-
-' dense, that an audacious attack was to have been
•
made on Glasgow on Wednesday, by a lame arm
force, On Tuesday, however, it was genere,te
known that the-English bad not co-operated ;
in consequence of this disappointment, t:,: ti-s:tlg
on Wednesday was not so.general as it would oti:et-
wise have been. If the .attack on Glalow
been made with the numbers which were expected,
it would not have been defeated but with considt.:-
ahle difficulty. Almost the whole mass of the pop;;.
lation were concerned in thcie desperate designs.--
The youth between fifteen and twenty years were :d.
most all contaminated with the principles of sedl-
tion and infidelity ; and pains had been taken to io
stil these ruinous principles into the minds of the
very children. He feared it would be long before
the lower orders would be . brought back.. to that
tranquillity and right feeling which bad been so lon
-the boast of the country.. Mr. Finlay then objectel
to a Morning Paper, which had imputed tlt.e treason-
able placard to some adherent of the Government.—
No Gentleman would believe this, when it was recol-
lected that the address was potted up in every tmrn
and village within twenty miles of where he then
was. He trusted the Meetieg would see the ne,:es-
sity of adopting such a line of conduct As WC!Ild
tribute materially to preserve the public tranquillity
in. future. Ile then proposed the Resolutions.

Mr. OSWALD stated, he was not inclined togo
so far as Mr. Finlay had done in his description of
the working orders of the people. He had no doubt
that they were contaminated to a certain extent; but
the agricultural populace were still untainted, and,
when it was recollected that not one man of property
or talent was infected by these opinions, he hoped the
influence of good advice and example would soon
produce a most salutary reformation, upon thosew: o
had adopted unsound views. He concluded by se-
conding the Resolutions.

Mr. Ewtuo, in sin eloquent speech, which was
warmly applauded, said that he perfectly approved
of the measure proposed by his honourable friend
(Mr. Finlay). After the disgraceful events which had
so recently occurred, it was indispensably requis;te
to discriminate between the shades of guilt—between
the instigators of crime, and the victims of delusion.
There were. some who, full of the most dark and
desperate purposes, had pressed forward into the
ranks of rebellion. Of these the law would make a
just and awful example—an example which would
strike terror into the hearts of the disaffected—an

example which might, ere long, be witnessed from
the windows of the very room where he now spoke.
There were others who had been implicated in the
machinations of treason, but who, from various causes,
might perhaps escape retribution. On such infatuated
men, who had within them crimes unwhipped of
justice, it was right to set a mark, that theysnight
be" prevented from contaminating the rest of the
community. But there were others, and he hoped
not a few, who had been seduced, or compelled, cr
intimidated, who were sensible of their error, aad
anxious to return to the path of duty. To these,
after professions •f repentance and assurances of re-
formation, he would hold out the hand of forgive-
ness, of compassion, and conciliation.

"le to their faults a little blind,
" Be to their virtues very kind.*

Such a scrutiny was necessary, but it must be left
to the employers themselves, and he had no doubt
that, in the restoration of their workmen, they
would stipulate proper terms, both as to atonement
for the past, and security for the future: He fully
felt the justice of the remark which had fallen from
the Chair, at the opening of the Meeting. He
deeply regretted the foul stain which had sullied
the fame of this once . religious and well-disposed
.city. He lamented that the poison of infidelity had
been so widely-diffused, and that many had been so
deeply tinctured with a spirit of Radicalism—a
mere cant term for Revolution—a malignant meteor
which allures but to destroy—a pestilential breath
which blasts, and Withers, .and kills, all that is fair
and lovely in the moral or political world. But he
could not coincide with tae Honourable Gentleman
Who moved the Resolution, in supposing that the
mass of the working population were so com-
pletely corrupted, or that the prospect of ultimate
amendment was so hopeless. He would indulge

in.

a more cheertag air.d animating prospect. He
world trust that the political fever would very
incn abate, and give new life and vigour to the
body. He would endeavour to instil confidence
into the minchof the people. He would believe that
a great proportion of cur mechanics were yet sound
at heart, and he trusted• that the day was not far
distant, when the good sense and moral feelings of
Saotsmen would resume their sway—when the spirit
of Alienation which had been infused into the minds
of the lower classes towards their superiors, who
sympathized with their sufferings, and had endea-
voured to alleviate their distress, would be sub-
dued—when the horrors of civil warfare would be
averted—when pikes would be converted into prun-
in:: hooks, and the beat of the drum would be fol-
lowed by the sound of the shuttle—when the bless-
i•ig, of our free and happy Constitution would be
Mt and appreciated—when the dark shades of anar-
chy and infidelity would be dispersed—and when re-
ligion, loyalty, peace, and order, would again en-
lighten and cherish our native land.—This speed.),
so creditable to the talents and feelings of Mr.
Ewing, called forth the most enthusiastie cheering.
Mr. risr.wv, in reply, to what had fallen from Mr.
Oswald, stated, that his observations applied to the
manufacturing population, not the agricu tura . If
Mr. Oswald had enjoyed the same means of infor-
mation that he had done for the last four years, he
would have agreed with him.

Mr. Cnaatts STIRLING said, that they were met,
be was sorry to say, not to nip a treasonable confe-
deracy ia the bud, but rather to face it in its full-
blown bloasont He considered that Radicalism was
merely a cant term for Revolution: and that their
object was to annihilate our holy religion, and tear
down the beautiful fabric of our Constitution. It
had been said, that intimidation might cause a num-
ber to leave their work; but, for his 'own part, he
thought no hitimidation of any kind would ever cause
a spirited honest man to do what was highly unlaw-
ful. lie said it was now become absolutely neces-
say that the :Plaster should be intimately acquainted
with the principles and characters of his workers,
and if any Gentleman should put his name to.these
Resolujon:i, and not adhere to them in every point,
even though he were his own brother, he would con-
sider him Its being upon a level with the worst of mi.
dicala and would do every thing in his power to bring
him to answer to the outraged laws of his country.
The LORD PROVOST then congratulated them on
the unanimity which had prevailed in the Meeting.
He said, when, he first spoke he had said nothing on
the number present, as the house was not then so full
as he expected it to be, and the event had fully justi-
fied his utmost expectation, and though they had
only had two days notice, the number and respect..
ability of the Meeting would shew that the Gentle-
men in Glasgow were warmly alive to the events
which were passing before them. It was now full
time to separate the innocent from the guilty, and
the measure before the Meeting was one that com-
bined justice and mercy, and he trusted it would an-
sv-er that important purpose.

The ft.:lowing Resolutions were then put and
unanimously adopted:

Par:,t.vrn--0 That is order to perform in the most effectual
mann,.r th,! imperative duty of assisting the Civil. Authorities,
not merely in putting down, but in completely extinguishing, the
seed:, of the present desperate and treasonable Confederacy, this
Meeting thinks !t necessary to a 'Apt the following Declaration :

" We, whose names are hereunto subscribed, Merchants and
)Lnsfacturers in the City of Glasgow and neighbourhood, are
resolved, by every means in our power, to assist in putting down
the prtseut desperate and unprecedented resistance to all lawful
authority, by withdrawing our employment and support from
every person who may have lent, or who shall in future lend his
aid to the purposes of the wicked and treasonable conspiracy
detailed in an Address to the Inhabitants of Great Britain and
Ireland,' lately published here.
We therefore hereby declare our fixed purpose and deter-
tainatien to be, not to employ in future any person who may
have already joined, or who shall hereafter join the promoters
of this treasonable confederacy, who may have taken up arms, or
lent aid and encouragement to it by his presence or countenance.
" We highly disapprove of 'the conduct of those who have left
work, even when threatened by the menaces of the law-
Irer and unprincipled men who conduct the present audacious
pr.:ceetilags, and we are resolved not again to employ any one
v- to has so left off working, or who shall in future do so with-
cut a previous mir.tric inquiry into his conduct and character,
a:4 silkhout being satisfied of his innocence, es relate, to inten-
tion, and of his being the victim of his own groundless fears, not
the .a..l:_cg instrument of disaffection and disloyalty."
