Mr. Glazebrook, and present it to him. Mr. Glazebrook
having been introduced, Mr. Wilkinson proceeded to read to
him the requisition, and to request of him. in the name of
the meeting, to accede to its prayer. The assent.of Mr.
Glazebrook was received with vociferous cheering; and
several " cheers more" were called for and given.
Mr. GLAZEBROOK, on presenting himself to the meeting..
was received with immense applause. He said,—Mr.
man and Gentlemen, I obey your wishes; I accept the
requisition ; I accede to the prayer of the requisition most
cordially. because my judgment convinces me that it is an
occasion upon which 'I
cannot refuse to render to you the

little service it is in my power 'to afford. Upon
occasions I have refused to allow my name to to pu
in nomination for the representation of one or two wards;
and it is not necessary for me now to state what the
particulars of those reasons were. (Hear, hear.) I
thought them sufficient at the time ; and perhaps in
my address to the electors, I may more particula,rly refer to
them. I enter upon this contest entirely upon the ground
of principle. (Cheers. I have no taste for party politits.
(Hear.) If I did not think there were fundamental princi •
pies affecting the interests of every one of us, affecting the
stability of all the institutions of the country, affecting the
constitution we have been accustomed to venerate, and
which deserves our respect and support, I should not be
found here at this time; I should never be found at any
political meeting whatever. (II ear.) But we ought well to
consider before we enter upon a step like the
present, that
we are enaaged in no other attempt,that we propose no
other,objea, than to exclude from the exercise of political
power a respectable body of men moving in respect-
able society, creditable and honourable, in many respects,
among us—(hear)—that we do not endeavour to effect such
an object as this without adequate reason. We should not

attempt to limit the amount of privilege or of power pos-
sessed by any one of our fellow citizens without reasons that
are paramount and imperative. (Cheers.) We object to
that gentlemen who is about to retire from the representa
tion of this ward, and to those who work with hit

because

we believe their continuance in a post, although it is in some
respects subordinate, and they exercise comparatively small
power, in one' grade of the executive of the government of
this country. (Cheers.) An anomoly, we consider it an
anomaly, that our Protestant canstitution—that a constitution
like ours—should in this place be represented by those who
hold unconstitutional doctrines. If the constitution we
possess is worth acceptance and honour at our hands,
worth our carrying out; and indeed it is only so far
worth our regard as it is worth being carried into practice.
Shall we then refuse, upon any occasion, by word or act, to
add to its efficiency ? Shall we who have received so many
benefits to rational liberty, so much instruction, so much
comfort, so many multitudinous advantages from our ear-
liest infancy to the present hour, from that paterir
went and constitution under which it is our privilege to live
and shall we trifle with it—shall we suffer it by any neglect
ours to pass down to the days of our posterity, our dearly
beloved offspring injured or impaired by any want of fidelity
an our part ? (Hear, and cheers.) Gentlemen, it is not
possible for us who are borne In the atmosphere of our con-
stitution to appreciate its privileges, its qualities, its powers,
and all its characteristics in their peculiar distinctions. We
were nurtured in the enjoyment of its privileges from our
earliest years, we were taught to think and speak for our-
selves and for our neighbours the truth in love, to inquire
and to exercise the faculties with which God has endowed us,
and that for our own comfort and advantage, and for the ad-
vancement of those who belong to us. Shall we forget these
privileges? Shall we not turn ourselves more deeply and
more studiously to the consideration of them ? Shall we not
teach our children to look with jealous care upon the posses-
sions which their fathers prize, and which would secure to
them as their most precious inheritance ? Perhaps you will
say I am dwelling too long upon general principles; and
probably it may now be for our advantage for a while to turn
to the consideration of topics that are more purely local.
The school question is now happily settled : the law has
decided that, and we trust for, ever. Strange it was that it
should ever have been thought necessary and proper that the
schools of the corporation of Liverpool, no mean city, should
be conducted upon any other than the scriptural principle of
the Church of England. (Cheers.) Certainly that seemed
always law to us ; we knew it was always right ; and it is only
of late years it has been thought at all possible for us to en-
courage, by public money and patronage, institutions at
variance with the spirit of our Christian Church and
the genius of our constitution. (Hear, hear, hear.) We
are refusing, however, sound principles—but unless we
maintain ourselves in the position we are in, by all the
means in our power—unless we fortify ourselves from time
to time, we sdall find that our strength is not so certain as
we may suppose, that our enemies will be upon us, and that
by our own weakness and want of fidelity to ourselves, by
the want of watchfulness and consideration, by the want of
a right appreciation of our advantages, by some of the
events in the chapter of accidents, our enemies will take ad-
vantage of our position, and re-occupy the place and power
from which they have been dismissed. (Hear.) Let us be
upon our guard continually ; let us instruct ourselves more
perfectly in true constitutional doctrine ; let us enforce
them upon our children—let us communicate to them correct
instruction and maxims, and then if any attempt is made,
from whatever quarter it may come, it will not succeed.
(Cheers.) We shall then find a strong resistance to heresy
of every description, which will act upon society with all
that constraining power which the law of gravitation exercises
upon universal nature. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I have not
much mixed in public business; I am of a retired and re-
reseved habits ; and it is a matter of doubt with me whether
I am well qualified for the position to which you have done
me the honour to invite me. You have, however, my heart
upon your side, and you have my deepest convictions with
you. All my best hopes and aspirations are setting from
you.
to day upon your behalf; and I know not that I can
ever charge upon my mind the folly, or the madness, of ever
having entertained one, what is called, " liberal" opinion.
(Hear, hear.) You may most completely and most fairly
take from me all that I have to give ; but I should, before I
sit down, just say that I believe we have a bard battle to
fight, and that unless we enter upon it with a determination
to take all the pains that are necessary, we shall not have the
privilege and the gratification of achieving a victory.
(Cheers.)

Mr. PETER HOPE then presented himself and proceeded
to read the first resolution. He remarked that this was not
so much a political question as one of principle. He infi-
nitely preferred the man of principle to the man of talent
without it. He had known Mr. Glazebrook from a boy—
for five and twenty years. He was both a man of talent and
of principle. He proceeded to offer a few remarks, and con-
eluded by proposing the first resolution, which was briefly
seconded by Mr. PAYNE, and carried unanimously.
Mr. bor.]) rose to propose the second resolution, and
urged strongly upon. the electors the necessity of a good
committee. They must not suppose that they were going to
walk over the course. An apponent was already in the field,
who would be supported by the utmost energies of his party.
The resolution (which was to appoint the committee) was
seconded by Mr. WILLIAMS, and carried unanimously.
The committee having been formed, Mr. BUSHELL was
called upon to address the meeting, and after a few remarks,
proposed the thanks of the meeting to Mr. Wilkinson, their
chairman. He had known the gentleman who has this night
come forward, for many years, and would consider his own
position in the council enhanced in value by having such a
man by his side.
Mr. GLAZEBROOK seconded the resolution, and spoke to
the unflinching exertions of Mr. Wilkinson upon all occa-
sions in the cause of conservatism.
The CHAIRMAN briefly returned thanks, and after refer-
ring to the number of members of the council present, pro-
posed that the thanks of the meeting be given to them,
which was passed by acclamation. An amusing scene kere
occurred, one portion of the meeting calling for Mr. Parker
to address them in reply, and another for Mr. J. B. Lloyd
eventually.
Mr. PARKER rose and said, that few of the assembly were
so well aware as himself ss to the real value of Mr. Glaze-
brook. He had along with himself supported Mr. Samuel
Holme, as chairman of the conservative assJciation, when
that body was in a very tottering state. Mr. Glazebrook
was a modest and retiring character, and they could do with
a little modesty in the council. Mr. Parker concluded by
thanking the meeting for the compliment paid by the chair-
man to the members of the council present.
Mr. J. B. LLOYD, in answer to a loud call, then came
forward, and was saluted with much cheering. He said the
burgesses of Castle-street Ward would not fail to observe the
conservative in the sear 183 G,
upon any
difficulties with which the conservatives had had to contend
in the council. Nevertheless, they bad not followed the ex-
ampleyathwn oppositecpoanrst
when t t hm y p
theyse refusedte tob
of their committees. The conservatives, when they obtained
power, gave to their opponents their proper portion in the
committees; and, in this respect, he left the meeting to say
which had been the true liberals. He then pointed out a
few of the principal acts of the conservatives since they had
been in power, referring especially to their consistency upon
the school-question, although some had got in the council
under false colours. He recommended the
burgesses at the
proper time to deal with those parties according to th •
deserts. Mr. Lloyd concluded' by an eloquent their
the principles of Mr. Glazebrook. n eulogy upon
Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORS was then l
ca led for, and, in a very
stirring speech, he called upon the b
con-
servatives in all the sixteen wards burgesses to return
The usual thanks were then
voted, and the meeting sepa-
rated.
