IMPORTANT MEETING OF LIBERAL MEMBERS OF
THE HOUSE CT COMMONS


IMPORTANT MEETING OF LIBERAL MEMBERS OF
THE HOUSE CT COMMONS.
A meeting of liberal members convened by
circular signed by Mr.. Hume, Was held ycser
day afternoon, in committee room number g. at
the House OF Commons, to consider the course
to be taken by them in reference to the bill
amending the representation. There were pre-
sent large number of members, among whom
were the following
Mr.. Hume, Lord Dudley Stuart Mr. b. Hall,
Mr. Bright, Mr. Williams. Mr.. Fox, Mr.. Kershaw,
Mr. Perfect, Mr.. Locke King, MIR. W. Clay, Mr..
Keogh, Mr. SadIier, Mr.. Maher Mr.. Reynolds,
Mr. Crawford, Mr.. Roebuck, Mr.. j B. Smith,
Mr. Green, Mr. Bass, Mr.. ScuIIy, Mr. Grace, Mr..
O'Flaherty, Mr. Peto, Mr. pilkington, Mr. Nc
Cuagh, Mr. Walmsey, Mr.. Pigot, Mr.. Miner,
Mr.. Golden, Mr.. II. Berkeley, Mr.. Mowatt, Mr..
D'Eyncourt, Mr.. Price Lovedea, DR.. Power, Mr..
McGregor, Mr.. John Evans, Mr. George Thomp
son, Colonel Sawey, and some others.
After much discussion, the following resolu-
tons were agreed to with great unanimity and
MIR. Hume was requested TO ask an interview
with Lord John Russell, and to place before him
the views OF the gentlemen who attended the
meeting. We presume another meeting will
be held after the interview with the prime min
ister We understand that considerable num-
Der of gentlemen expressed their intention to
oppose the bill, if it be persisted n in its pre-
sent shape;
l. That in the opinion of the gentlemen now
present, the bill for the reform of the representa-.
ton is in several respects, highly Objectionable ;;
and especially in that part of it which proposes
to continue and extend the sixty sc, en- bo-
roughs,and generally to perpeluate in the United
Kingdom, the existence Of boroughs VIGOROUSLY
corrupt, or as VIGOROUSLY under influence, there
10y preventing the possibility of independent
representation.
2. In order to give any real value to the bills
now introduced, the disfranchisement Of the
small and most VIGOROUSLY corrupt and depend
ent boroughs is most desirable and essential
3. That the ballot is Indispensable to free
system of representation.
a. That it is highly desirable that the bills
for England and Ireland should be consolidated,
and considered as one measure.

MOBILE, March 2, 1852.


Sir: observe that one branch of the general
assembly of the State of Massachusetts i,ns
thought fit to appoint committee to institute
enquiry as to what action shall be taken TO
procure the restoration to freedom of the three
negro men, who We're IL Snort time since sold at
Galveston, Texas, under the laws of that State.
and purchased by me.
With view to facilitate the labDrs of the
committee raised for this benevolent purpose, it
may not be deemed inappropriate to place them
in possession of the main fact connected with
this transaction. uaf
happened in Galveston at the time these
three negroes were detected in the act of kid
mapping or abductng slaves from their owners.
They were tried under the laws of Texas,
where the offence was committed, found guilty..
and of course subjected to the penalty imposed
by the law Of that State. In the execution Of
this law, they were exposed to public sale, and
became the purchaser, and they are now nv
property. ~.
If the Legislature Of Massachusetts or tho
Abolitionists are really sincere in their DISPOSE
ton to restore to citizenship and liberty these
negroes | will afford them an opportunity Of
doing so. They have expended much sy,npa-
thy and philanthropy on the slaves Of the
South, and surely they will not object to ex.
pending little money by way Of illustrating
Il e'r fidelity.
| will, therefore, propose to this committ Q,
or to the Aboitionists generally, it they will
pay me the amount of money it has cost to e-
claim fugitive slave in Boston, they can have
these negroes. This proposition consider fair,
liberal, and just and it will be regarded as test
of the sincerity Of those who manifested such
lively interest in the welfare Of this peculiar
people.
My place of residence ia Mobile.

the host OF imitators, who have been constantly
MISUNDERSTANDING after him in vain''-are suft.
cient to attest his brilliant success. The prompt
ness with which every new idea that he suggests Is
adopted by others, is sufficient for his not
being very explicit and exact in his promises of
what is yet to come. He does not wish TO lay out
plans for others to follow. 1t is sufficient, however,
to say that all the existing popular features of the
LADY's Book will be retained, and many new ones,
particularly attractive in Lady's Book and Fami-
ly Magazine, will be introduced The useful and
the elegant will always be kept in view.
To the Magazines alone must look for the
