LIBERTY . S < e yonder banner proudly waving litrk the shout , that rends the sky . It is the Chartist bosom heaving , Round the flsg of liberty , f re yoa coward monster flying . Hark the yell that shakes the ground , It is the moan of ty ran tt'dying , Y > t it is a dismal sound . B-hold thebattle fiercely raging , Heavens , what an awful sU-bt J Is brother against brother waging , To maintain the law of might !
Sre the tyrants standard and trampled down , St e the Chartist band advancing , Ste the land with human bodies -own , See the wounded horses prancing . Now the swords are madly clashing , I » e how the father kills his son , How , Heavens , how the bones are crashing . Would the fight bad ne ' er begun . Tie Chartist' fly , the field is lost , Tie tyrant banner floats on high , Sow victory at any cost , Charge , Churti-ts , charge for liberty . See the scattered forces rally , H ^ w the tyrants turn and fly , Ah . ' there ' s a glorious Chartist sally , Hark the shout of victorv .
Let the wounded now be tended , Let the savage pa « fion « cease , Let the system now be mended , Let our triumph end in peace .

It would be difficult to characterise all the cxcelenciesol the prose accompaniments which Thorn t \ ¦ , Txf- to his ra >* me 3 . The mournful pathos ci ins Mitherless Bairn , " has rendered it popular everywhere . Thorn ' s "Blind Boy ' s Pranks , " has the same elegance of fancy and richness of invention a ? the " Culprit Fav , " the most ingenious of American poems . Those who have had the pleasure of hearing Thom converse , know the chaste and Spartan felicity of expression which he can command , lie is a study in rhetoric , and in some instances his art is
consummate , lie tells a story in the best vein ol Scotch humour . With equal feJicity , enlivened with sarcastic pungency , he recounts the recollections of the scenes of his ' weaving' day ? . Out of a multitude of depressions and oppressions , bitter struggles and dark sorrows , are selected with a master ' * art , portions only—but those are groped with such power and pathos that none who read will soon forget them . It is not the sentimentality of which Sterne set the fashion , nor of the conventionally pathetic school , at whose recitals you weep because it is expected you should weep- ^ you weep at the " Recollections , " because you cannot help it . In the darkest scenes light flashes from the poet ' s thoughts , which penetrates all artificial guises , and reveals the unseen . chain which so often drags forlorn humanity to its terrible
destiny . These circumstances of sorrow are not dwelt ' upon here for their own sake—ths poet has too much independence to wish it done ; but the liberty is taken of adverting to them to draw attention ' to the eloquence of real wrong , and to rejoice in the ability with which our poet depicts it . The present edition ef the poet ' s works lias now , through the kindness of Mr . Gordon , of Knockespock , come into Thorn ' s hands , and the sale will be his individual benefit . The fact will give our readers a strong interest in promoting the circulation of the work . They may safely say to their friends that Thom has produced a genuine book—a book ,-which , as it is the record of a real life , and written ia a sincere and impassioned style , so it is a tok-wn warning to society , that it is built on dangerous ground , pregnant with the perils of injustice .
The " Recollections" of William Thom , the Weaver-Poet , stand there , in clear , unmistakable print , and they are th * most solemn things men have a long time perused . Truth speaks in them with a startling voice , stirring the deeps of the heart , and winning on its victorious way . For a while men are ashamed before the recital of the poor poet ' s sufferings , and make show of helping him : for a while , patrons crowd around , and the curious come to gaze upon the new found luminary . But in a
while he is forgotten- commerce , trade , pleasure , idleness , and curiosity , have absorbed their votaries . The warning came in vain . The loud voice of the poet , who , in pleading for his own rights , is only pleading for those of his fellow men , is disregarded , and the poet , and his fellows , are still left to toil on in uncertainty of life from day to day . They place a laurel on the brow while the limbs are languishing for the sustaining life-blood—they talk of his glorie- * i-nduring to all eternity , and yet leave him a wreck on the shoal of time . —The Iteasoner .

A battery will be erected at Looe harbour , so as to command the anchorage under Looe Island . The line of approach from Looe to Plymouth is to be put into a state of defence immediately .
IlAin . —The new constitution is partly monarchal and partly republican—it was partly the work of France .

Now , if the bran-5 only were taken out , which would in no case exceed Tibs ., there would be left lOllbs . of nutri-ious flour , more wholes'iine and more digestible as every medical man can testify , ' than the fine flour now u ^ cd ; so that 101 exceeds Si by one fourth , 20 , 000 , 000 quarters , which is believ « d to be about our consumption , would , if dressed in this way , produce as much flour as 2 ? , 000 , 000 .

The Charter And No Surrender! Great Meet...
THE CHARTER AND NO SURRENDER ! GREAT MEETING AT BRIGHTON . A town meeting was held at the Town Hall on Thursday evening , convened by the Hi gh Constable ou the requisition of 90 electors , to consider the propriety ^ of addressing Parliament for the purpose o obtaining an extension of the Elective Franchise , and was attended by a most numerous and influential audience . The High Constable having been called to tinchair .
The Vestry Clerk proceeded to read the requisition and notice of meeting . At this moment Capt Pecliell , one of the membeis of BrUjhton , entcrc . the room and wjs received with loud applause . Tin Ve-try Clerk then read a litter in reuly to one which he , at the request of some ot the lvquisilionists , had addressed t © Lord Alfred Uervey . His LorOshipV answer was dated from Bury St . Edmunds , Jan . 13 , and expressed his regret that , from engagement ; , foi the following dav , it was impossible he could atten . the meeting . The Chairmax , in opening the meeting , expresstt his belief that , whatever diversity of opinion miyhi exist , the meeting would give every gentlcmai , a fair , patient , and impartial heaving . ( Cheers . )
Mr . Woodward then proposed the first resolution , which embraced this principle ( for less than which he would not agitate ) , that the riant to the Elective Franchise of every male adult of 21 years of age , noi suffering punishment for crime , accompanied by tlaballot , annual Parliament' * , payment of Members , no property qualification , and equal electoral districts—should Income the lav ? of the land , Mr . John Good seconded the motion . Mr . Wood ward said he would not recede from these principles : and he ( Mr . Good ) was prepared to say the samecheers)—and should be glad to forward them by aro efforts of his . Mr . Good then introduced
Mr . Erkebt Jones , who agreed with the preceding speaker in the absolute necessity for the measures la advocated . For , he continued , in looking through the position of the different classes of which our community consists , I cannot avoid being struck by their manifest disparity of condition , the unparalleled wealth , and the equally unparalleled destitution , and , as a thinking man , I naturally trace upward to the source of so lamentable a state of society , repugnant alike to the designs of God . the laws of nature , and the spirit of true civilization . ( Hear , hear . ) Repugnant to the laws of God , since it is evident , as God has provided a sufficiency for ail , he intended all to have & share of that sufficiency . Contrary to the laws of nature , since nature never drew a
classdistinction among the human race , but that all men , when in a natural state of society , were equal partakers of the comforts and the produce of this earth . ( Cheers , ) Seeing then , that the miseries of certain classes are neither caused by the Jaws of God uor by the laws of nature , it follows as a necessity , that they must have been caused by the laws of man . Inequalities of social comforts and political rights among classes mu « t originate from unequal laws , or class legislation , and it is with this very point , I opine , that we have to deal to-night . Out of the classes of the o immunity , we find all , but one class , in the utmost affluence and prosperity . —Out of the classes of the community we find all , but one class , represented in the legislature . Now , it is exactly the uurepresentcd
class which is the one that grovels in the most abject wretchedness and destitution . ( Hear . ) Prima facie evidence points to the assumption , that non-representation causes that destitution . Further research proves this assumption to be founded on fact . All our laws have been framed for the protection ol what is called the rights of property , —and but few , if any , seem based on the recoll-. ction , that property , if it has nights , must necessarily have iuties too . Thus we find , that property , and property alone is represented in the House of Commons , and as a natural consequence , property has taken remarkably good care of itself . No doubt it thought of the axiom that charity begins at home , but it has abused this selfish home charity , since it has given to itself , at
the expense of others . ( Cheers . ) Now I am perfectly ready to concede to every man the right to look after his own interests , but I deny that any man lias a right to prevent me from looking after mine . This is precisely what class-Iegislation does , since it causes Church and Crown , landlord , manufacturer and merchant , to be represented in the legislature , ( and capital representatives they have , if they are to be judged by the prosperity resulting to their own cla-ses ) , —while by an invidious property qualification it has prevented tho working men of the country from enjoying a similar advantage . ( Clear . ) What would you say , if you had a neighbour , possessing an estate by the side of yours , who prevented you from harvesting the corn you had sown , —and , while be
made you work on his lands , went and gathered your harvest into his granaries ? You would say he is a tyrant and a thief ! That thief and tyrant is the monopolist—who steals your property while you are creating hi * . For you have property too , —the property that monopoly fattens on ,-but the only property whose rights it disregards . It is the most plnriona property of England , the labour of her million toiling sons . Now , 1 contend , that working men have a right to look after the harvest of their toil , after their own interests , a right to see how the national wealth , is administered for the national good . Nay , workingmen ! I contend that to look after your own interests becomes a duty , and the resolution yon have heard embodies what " I conceive to
be the best means for its performance . ( Hear , hear . ) Let me however first dispose ol the supposition , that our class-legislators are able or willing to guard your interests as well as theirs . You have heard the old adage , that what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander ; but alas ! the same law is not law for the rich and law for the poor . ( Hear . ) The speaker then adverted to the Newton conspiracy , the working of the game and poor laws , or , he continued , shall I instance the fact , that workmen in the factories are obliged to pay so many pence weekly towards making good the wear and tear of their master ' s machinery ; but what dees that master give them for the wear and tear of that , far ¦ obler machinery , the human frame , with brain ,
and heart , and soul ? ( Cheers . ) Or shall I point t » the famine in Ireland , when men , guilty as legislators , blasphemously try to draw God into & partnership of their guilt , —and an archbishop dares to say , the famine is God ' s dispensation to the poor ! Oh 1 if that famine be seat by God , I believe it is sent to teach the rich that potatoes alone are not fit food for tho poor , while they have yet fat venison in their p » rks ! Have you read Mr . Cumming ' s letter to the Duke of Wellington , er the account of th © poor woman , with a child at her breast , hewelf in the last stage of fever , who staggered to a dunghill , and there found the putrid entrails of a fish , which she began voraciously to devour . —sickening and dying as she ate , —andwith a mother ' s clinging love , still
, holding a nauseous morsel to the lips of the do / id infant , —and thus died ! Died , while the drums were beating , and the bayonets were glittering , that escorted the grain of the monopolist away from her and her babe to the glutted tables of an English aristocracy . ( Shame !) Think of this Bishops , Queen , and nobles ! You teudw-iwartAd queen , do not shrink from the horrible truth , but try how you can remedy the evil . Oh ! landlords ! some of the game you so carefully preserve would have been welcome there ! ( Loud cheers . ) Seeing that the unrepresented people of this and the sister island are exposed to horrors like these , that their petitions and remonstrances are treated with contempt , and that there is no chance of an amelioration of their
condition , unless they are placed in a position to help themselves , 1 beg to support the resolution you have heard , ns the orly means to that result , and believing that any restriction of the franchise , exsept the one embodied in that resolution , can be neither safe , just , or beneficial . ( Hear , hear . ) Take , for instance , the property qualification as it stands . Take the case of a rich man , who , of course , having money , has a vote : a bank breaks ; a flaw is discovered in a will . What is the consequence ? He may go to bed , a freeman , considered a rational being , sensible enough to be entrusted with a vote , —he may wake , a slave , —too ignorant to be able to speak his own mind , or know his own wants . What is it that hu lost in those few hours ? Was it his heart ,
was it his brain , was it his humanity ? No , my friends ! it was his money bags ! ( Cheers . ) Or take the case of a ten-pound householder , who trusts a man with all his little fortune for some turn of trade : the friend abuses his trust , rebs him of his property ? Who now has the vote ? Ii it the honest man who was robbed ? No ! It is the robber , who has beggared him ! ( Cheers . ) A property qualification is ridiculous . Did you ever hear the story of the American and his donkey ? In some states of the Union , possessing five dollars worth of property is the necessary qualification for a voter . Now . there was an old man who had an old donkey , the donkey was worth . five dollars , and he had a vote . Year after year the old man was to be seen riding on the old donkey to the distant polling p lace But the old man grew more old , and the elu donkey grew more old , and so one year the old donkey fell down by the way , and died ! There stood the
Autfttican freeman , wringing his hands in despair , for his donkey was dead ! llo was freeman no longer , for his donkey was dead ! He was an ignorant slave without a vote-too ignorant to distinguish good from bad for his donkey was dead ! ( Laughter and cheers ) . Now then , 1 ask you , which had the vote ? Was it tho man , or the donkey ? ( Loud cheers ) . Now , is there any one in this hall who would say , the thief should have the vote instead of the honest man ? The donkey should have thevotein'tcadof hismaster . Oh ! this property qualification is a base standard—it is a vile standard , since it subjects to these alternatives , and is irreligious , since the child ought not to tyrannise over the parent . Labour is the parent ol capital , yet capital is the tyrant of labour . ( Cheers . ) Or , are there any here who advocate an educational suffrage ? Which is the nobler man , the man who is educated cnoegh to forge , or the honest labourer who lives b > t ' ac toil of

his hands ? Cobhw > r sense is equally the gift of both , and honesty must make a better use of it tkkn fraud . Talk not of ignorance—A man knows what he rfauts , when he starves ! lie cries brend ! And they , * ho produte that bread , know best how it is to be obtained . Not out of the Cabinet , bat eut of the toil ! N ' ot from foreign markets end usurious traders , but direct from God and nature ! ( Loud cheers . } Or , would you erect a moral standard ? On that plea '< e priviligcd classes woula be privileged no longer Where is the greatest morality , —is it in the rich man who bribes with his gold , or is it with ihe poor man , who , thus tempted , takes the gold , to save his children ' s lives ! Morality \ When a liou ? e of in amy was burnt down in London , who fled , like rabiiits frighted from their warren , through the flames !
A prince regent , an archbishop , two judges , and a general , and a parson broke his neck in jumping from the window . ( Cheers and laughter ) . Can am man suggest any other restriction ? C » n any man iu this hall suggest any feasible reason lor an ) one >( these restrictions , or any other V ' md o restriction , ; xccpt the one embodied in my amendment i Then , if no one can find an argument lor any other limitation of the franchise , every man in this hall has t ir-mounccd himself for universal suffrage . ( Loud Jheerc ) . A ) e ! and when I find that mind ii endiriued in bank-notes , and intellectconveyed to a new purchaser in the title of his estate , then , and then only , we will cease to lift our voice for universal sutcigo . Friends ! 1 trust there are no men here , of this lightened town , who having now felt the conviction of truth , will let aft cr-prcjudice efface the impression .
llenieniber ! we take his right from no man—but in iccuring others their rights , wo too claim our own . ( Cheers . ) The shopkeeper , of Brighton trill join with you , working men!—as tho shopkeepers in every other town in England are doing , —incc they too are unrepresented in the Commons , —their votes arc overpowered by the great money interest ot the wh Icsale manufacturers ; atone , they tan not resist , uniteU with you they will be stro g enough—and the interest of their trade leads them towards you , — since think of the oouutleas customer * they will gain among tho then prosperous working classes , who nonpass their sbopwinclows and look , but cannot buy !—1 feel convinced , the Brighton shopkeepers will not » how less sense , than their compeers iu the rest ot England . ( Cheers . ) The franchise is the constitutional right of every Englishmen—all , had it once , and allshall have it again . ( Cheers . )
In conclusion , I repeat , drive prejudice from your minds ! It may retard , but it caunot prevent our success and I think , sir ! the hour of rota : datum has been effaced by die hand of famine from the di so of time . 1 am aware , every great movement suffers a period of prejudice , a period of difficulty in winning its way . At first it comes , like ths gush of a freshlooftcned torrent—then the existing impulse diesthen arrives the hour of doubt and hesitation , —the bate principle prolongs a bleak existence , — and the * inall streamlet , like a thread , glides on aim st unseen , amid the shallows of life . By its side stands the burly i . i » nopolist , and frowns an he beholds its tiny waves still carry the freshness of hope to some careworn hearts . He places his foot acro = s its narrow
bed , thinking to stop its flow for ever ; buthh fro . v n fades and his eye grows troubled , as he notes those quiet water still flows on against him;—they come , irom their eternal fountains ;—the barrier , he places , but collects their gradual foice;—the dam he erects collects the million slow-sucoecding waves into one great pressure from without , and , were he even a itiug , he must yield before them , and , like Canute , tho Royal Dane , withdraw the footstool of his power before the tide of progression ! ( Loud cheers ., We have passed those first stages ! We have rallied the pressure from without;—the franchise is your right ; demand it—command it!—for even monopoly has » aid , the voice of the people is the voice ol God 1 ( Mr . Jones resumed his seat amid loud choeis . ) And the chairman then introduced
Mr . Loile , who said : He saw one of the Hon . Members of this great town of Brighton present , and he told him , as one of the friends of t .. e people , that the whole of the working men of the north , —indeed , of the whole manufacturing districts of E . gland , believed they were as much entitled to a voice in making the laws as the Hon . Alember himself . God had u « t made him a slave to the Hon . Member or to the High Constable of this town . They ail came into thib world equally helpless . Then who had made the difference between them ? Those who had made the laws . Who were they ? The rich and the powerful . Did they do so iu ignorance ? then they were not fit to be legislators . ( Cheers . ) Buc he was told li . » t he was ignorant . Who made him so ? It was the
opinio . i of a great philosopher that the virtues or vice the ignorance or knowltdge ot a nation , were the effects ol its institutions . Then if the people were igKurant , it was the consequence of iniquitous laws —of the vicious system which existed . lie found that one of the Members of this town had done what few men did—ho voted for a Ten Hours' Bill —( cheers ) —that the children of the working classes should have time to acquire knowledge—to benome something more than crooked machines to acquire wealth —the God of the great . These six millions of men , women , and children , produced , seven years ago , according to a celebrated authority—a Liberal , too—700 millions of wealth , and out of that they got but 150 millions , whilst 51 i millions went into the possession of the Aristocracy of land , lie believed God never made an Aristocracy of land . God gave the land to the whole human family , and first force , and
then fraud , by Act of Parliament , made this laud ihe possession of the few . Air . D . went on to show that all is taxation from birth to death , and that the most heavily taxed are the producers of the wealth ol the country , without whose labour the others would starve . The poor man was ignorant ; but not too ignorant to produco 700 millions of wealth ; to pay the Marquis of Westminster £ 500 , 000 a-yeur rental ; to let the Duke of Norfolk possess thirty-six estates , if tney had votes , they would see such a change in the House of Commons as would astonish tho High Constable—and astonish still more Captain Pechell , for they would be such an infusion of Democratic blood as would make the pensioners look blue . ( Cheers . ) He thanked Captain Pechell , for his attendance , and hoped soon to see him in the House of Commons , advocating , with the people ' s champion , Mr . Thomas Dunoonibe , the rights ot the people . ( Prolonged cheers . )
The High Constable then put the motion , which was carried unanimously , and amidst great cheering . Mr . Flower ^ lum proposed the adoption of the National Petition , which , having been read by the vestry clerk , was seconded byMr . Giles , who introduced Mr . Clark , who in a powerful and eloquent address , went through the six points of the Charter , and touched up » n the leading questions now engaging the attention of the political world . He was particularly tcvere on Lord John Russell and the Whigs , and thought , that public opinion had more r « ason to look to Sir R . Peel than to Lord John , Russell . He ridiculed the idea of the ignorance of the people by showing that they opposed tho passing of the corn-law
in 1815 , and were massacred at Petcrioo because they did so , and now in 1845 , Sir Robert Peel aud Lord John Russell owned that they bad been wrong and tlu ignorant people right by repealing those laws . He subsequently characterised the iatocommeicial changes as a failure , because they had given rise to no improvement in the condition of the pec pie , being made merely a handle of by monopoly , i . ord John Russell owned that the increase of wealth and civilisation on the one hand , ' and the growing demarcation between the rich and the poor ou the other , was a problem which he could not solve . But the people could : it lay in the fact that they were
not represented and in the monopoly of the land . The people saw this , and were learning a political economy of theirown . They were saving their pence to buy land . ( Cheers . ) Within the last seven months , 12 , 000 working-men hail subscribed £ 31 , 000 and purchased two estates , witn farms , . & c . anil they were about to purchase two more , on whick to locate some ef the idle population of the kingdom . ( Cheers . ) He had no doubt that Captain Pochell would he candid aud tell them if he would support the Chatter ( cheers ); for they wanted to rank him among the Dunccmbes and the other champions of the people . ( Loud cheers . )
The adoption . of the National Petition having been carried unanimously , Mr . Dayey proposed , and Mr . Williams seconded , the appointment of a commi ttee of five to obtain signatures and carry the resolution iuto effect which was carried unanimously , Mr . Ilorrr then proposed a vote of thanks to Captain Pechell , and a request that he support the prayer of the petition , regretting that , as it was to form part of a National Petition to be presented by-Mr . Duiicombe , they could not avail themselves of his services in this respect . Mr . Woodward seconded , eulogizing the past conduct of the Hon . Member ; and the motion was carried Dy acclamation .
Captain Pechbll rose to return thanks , and was retoived with great applause . He was , lie said , very sensible of the kind manner in which they had expressed themselves in the response they had made to the resolution just agreed to-because it showed that when a Representative did act in a straightfotwa'xt and honest manner , he was sure to be rewarded bv his constituency . ( Cheer * . ) He thought that the people ot this country had some cause to complain of the grievances which oppressed them . ( Cheers . ) He was sensule of the many grievances whieh had followed the great measure of Reform , He had very soon disci vered that the people , not on ' y of this town ,
but the working classes of the country generally , had not profited by that measure , which they were ted to believe would do away with many grievances with which they were oppressed . By the Reform Act it was required that to vote thev should bo taxed , and not only taxed , but that they should pay that tax , in order to vote for the Representative who was to be empowered to impose taxes upon them . ( Cheers . ) it was said that payment of rates was to bo the criterion of the sufficiency of an elector ; bill tlwvc was this anomaly ; the £ 10 borough voters we ; e taxed , but ths £ 50 county voters were not . ( Cheers . ) The saxpaying clauses ought no longer to be endured . He had oh every occasion raised his voice against this
The Charter And No Surrender! Great Meet...
d reat grievance . ( Cheers . ) They ( the voters ) had greed to a national petition . He shmiJd pnrsirc 'he samo course which he did when they asked him upon a former occasion—he should support Mr . T . Dimcombo . ( Loud cheers . ) I ' m afraid ( continued the Hon . Member ) you will be deceived by not lotting me finish the sentence—I shall pursue the same course on the next occasion as the last—1 shall support the motion of Mr . Duncombe for the National Petition to be heard at the bar of the House ot Common ? . ( Loud cheers . ) And moreover it would be a satisfaction to him , whenever the- extension of the elective lianchtso was brought before the House of Commons by men competent and willing , and who would be heard and who would command the respect and attrition of Parliament—it would be a gratification tolim to
recount to the House of Commons what he had seen ' this night . ( Cheers . ) It would not be th » first occasion ; for , during the 12 years he had h .-cn oi \ o ol ' their representatives , he had invariably stated what had occurred at the meetings at Brighton , for it was impossible not to see their orderly manner and in-• -ratified with the whole conduct of the people who ; masses were congregated together—( Cheei>)— a- "l Inwould bear witness to it ; for it strengthened iho hands of tho men who represented the wishes of Unpeople to have a just weight in the reprcseiit . titio : i oi the country . ( Cheers . ) He would do his bc . 4 . Hi had been knocked up during the last three Sessiors
with badgering the Poor Law Commissioners Tiiey had shortened his life by some years—such had been his anxiety and trouble ; and really , if this thing was to go on—if they could not overturn these Poor Lav * Commissioners— if they could not obtain an i xieifivc alteration in these laws by an extended elective franchise , ho should almost despair . But thy might trust him , and after 12 years' character , if he < iid deceive them , the remedy would be in their hai ; di in a very few months' time . He should not be afraid to face them . ( Cheers . ) At the same time they would have before them a person who had done hi ;; utmost in support of the cause of the people . ( ' . ond cheers . )
A vote of thanks to the CfHTtmivsionpra , fov the handsome manner in which they had aocommod . it . nl the people , was then carried , as also a vote of tl ;; . u !; s to Messrs . Jones , Doyle , and Clark for their ialdresses , in acknowledging which Mr . Jones conclude . ! by moving a vote of thanks to the High Constable , whieh was passed by acclamation . The High Constable begged to thank the meeting for the compliment they had paid him . He considered that , in calling the meeting and presiding over it , ho not only discharged his duty , but had done himself a great pleasure . ( Cheers . ) The meeting ihon broke up in a very quiet manner ; it being past 10 o ' clock . And thus ended one of the most spirited , orderly , and important meetings , tha » . lias for many years been known in the town of Brighton .
