The fourth meeting convened for the adoption of the National Petition by the Chartist Council was held in London last Tuesday Mr. Julian Harney presided. But the orators of the evening were Messrs Harney and Jones. We need this pressure, seeing that of all the parliaments we have had, the present parliament is assuredly the most hostile to working men.
Someone says No.
But I repeat that no class has ever proved as hostile to the working class as the middle class of England. It has cast down aristocracy on the left, democracy on the right, and lives on the ruins of both. I do not wish to raise the aristocracy. Seeing then that we never had a more middle class, and therefore a more hostile parliament, it is time to organise resistance. And the people knows this.
