LEE—" J oily Tinkers. "
The Chairman gaVe ‘The Duke of Wellington—the hero of a hun-
dren battles." Given with three times three.
GLEE--"A way we hive in the army, to toast our absent friends.'
The Chairman would.give them the health of a man who had ever
proved himself the champion of the constitution of England, " The
Earl Of Eldon, may he live long and continue to prove himself an or-
nament to his country." Given with three times three cheers, and one
cheer more.

GLE—" So say we all of us.''
Mr. John Wilson roe top ropo se" The old Magistrates of ,the divi'
sion." Drunk with three times three.
J. E. WiTurNoToti, Esq. rose_ to respond. to. the toast. He begged
to thank them tyr. the very handsome compliment they had paid to
himself and his brotber..,niagistrates in their name, in the name he
might say of the ofithiltre magistrates of .the division. (Cheers.)
He came there that evening for the purpose of ascertaining how true
the reports of the success of the 'operatives wevel he should return
home fully convinced, that. they were now rested on foundation that
could not he shaken. (Loud cheers.)., He was one of the tem- indivi%
' duals in 'whom the South Lancashire Conservative.Associationorigin!.;
ated. At that time it was considered a great and a dangerous expert-
ment, brit, as he had expected, it succeeded, and it succeeded beyond
their utmost hopes. But he did not-expect to see equal success attend%
ing on the establishment of operative conservative, associations. He
knew very well how difficult it was to convince those whose minds
were already prejudiced, and had lçing been worked upon by a seditious
Press. (Cheers.) Tho Ugh the poison had been insinuated, hegaw the
antidote then before him. (Cheers.) He was now going, with the.
leave of. the chairthan, to lake a liberty, but he thought the-toast hp
was going to propose would. excuse itself. He was going topropose
the health of their worthy: president, (Loud. cheers.)
The president's health was then drunk:with three times three cheers
and .one_cheer more.
The CHAIRMAN, in acknowledging the toast, said. once before, that
night, he had been almost .unnerved by the responsible situation 1:*
held as president of that society. How that society.,Was ealledr. into
existence most of them knew. He was anxious to do what-every En.
glishman ought to do, the best that laid in his power for his Country's
good. He , had, been one of the first in standing forward to-advocate
the formation of an operative conservative.association in Warrington.
He could not have done anything without the aid of those around
him, they had .done all that was necessary, they had done what
'England expected every man to do—his duty.. He hoped he had.
done his duty. In assisting to form that association. He was,
convinced that the radical principle was the very worst - that
a poor man could possibly profess; .it made him 'discontented
with his sovereign, his country, and himself, and made him, he.
might say, abject in the eyes of all society. Let them look around
them and contrast the difference bet Ween the supporters of radicalism
and. conservatism. They had gentleman around them who, he was
sure, were a guarantee of their conduct ;,they had gentlemen around,
them who countenanced their association by their presence, and if it
was wrong would such men support them. (Great cheering atsi cries
01--' Bravo !") If they had not the countenance of good meniwould
they have on their right hand the most able and christian ministers of
the gospel, which they had? He wciold say no. And that was a
guarantee that they. mere right. In conclusion; he would say let them
do what their motto wished them to do, let them " honour -di men,
love the brotherhood, fear God, and honour the Kin 4.,. !!. (Cheers.)
SONG, by Mr. Worral, " John Bull.'
The Chairman then gave "Our worthy member, John Ireland Black.
burn, Ehq:" Drunk with three times three hearty cheers.
Mr. WHITTLE, as a:voter; returned thanks on behalf of Mr.-Black.
burn. The reformers had extended a hope that at the next election
success would be theirs; but they must ;know to their hearts'; content
that there was not the slightest chance for them. He was sorryhe had
roads use of the word reformer, he meant a radical and a republican,
*for he believed in his heart that there was nut a real reformer who was
not a conservative. There were about 557 voters in the borough, and
should an election take place the next day, upwards of 300 would
vote -for Mr. BlaPkburn, their townsman. (Cheers.)
GLEE—" British Oak."
The Chairman next gave " success and prosperity attend the -Liver-
pool Conservative Association." Drunk with three times three-cheers.
-Mr. GEORGE TYREE., of Liverpool, returned thanks. lie had much
pleasure na saying that in Liverpool they had 172-voters who had joined
their society who had voted -for the opposite-party, and who never
would vote again for them: .(Cheers.)
