It aimed at nothing ehe than 10 -h ter the Republic . (' Oh . oh .

The ciu ' os had been _^ t _ own . ard now the people were proceeded -inst- _Ue _should certainly oppese the measure . l _Yr _Kcom _designated the bill a Draconian mea-XX which e _* _- __ ry true republican ought to endeavour « prevent beiDE carried .
M _Theodose Bac criticised tbe several provisions r . f the bill , and in particular Art . 3 , whicb speaks of _Lr- -ors" carrying arms openly or concealed . He _S-d . how it conld he known , when the armed force _^ _js ' about to act , that arms were concealed by auy -ri , - _ 5 of tbe crowd ? He thought that very consi-_ = r _ ble alterations were called for before the bill C c , n ! d be _adored . Another Member _, also opposed lhe me _ _s _ re as a violent _ : _tsck on lh _» rights of the people , and particglarly tbe right of meeting . ( Dissent . ) M- Makie . member of the Executive Committee , c _'fcied that tbe bill was of an unconstitutional _char-cier . . Thc Assembly then _proceeded to tbe diecussicn tf the articles : —
Art . 1 . _—Evtry timed _ l _ _- _« ip « s „ il in thepullic _streets cr road « is interdicted . Every unarmtd attrovpemer . t of b Eslcre to disturb public tranquillity is _slsa interdicUd . An amendment proposed by M . _Bertholos , to substitute the word' disturbing' in place of the _expression ' of a nature to disturb . ' supported by M . C . _BekeXS-B , and _ipposed by M . Bosjean _, was rejec ted . M . G . Fa _^ ks proposed to replace the words * of a _natureto disturb , ' by those ' which have a seditious character / A fur a short _difcussion it w _» 3 also rejected . M- _Clxkikt proposed to add the words 'in the public streets or roids , 'to the second clause of tbe article-. It weuld , be thonght , render tha article less liable to misapprehension . —Agreed to . The article was then _adopted .
Art . 2 . —in armed _atrro'fP-nwnf constitutes a crimln _ l offence , if it docs not disperse at ths first e _&__ ic _ s it enly constitutes a _misdemtatsour , if on the first sumsen ! it disperses without resistance . M . T __ ob . es Bac maintained tbat tbe present law _ttss infinitely more severe than that passed in 1531 . This latter rc-ver went so far as to say that a man _formed part of an armed assemblage when ho happened by chance to be in a crowd , some of the members of wbfch _hopper ed to bear _ rr _ 3 secretly . Tbis was what the present bill declared , affixing to the offence a _ _iost severe penalty , aad going infinitely further than any measure tkat tbe late government had ever ventured . After speaking against tht- fell ior stuEe time , tbe hon . -deputy concluded by sf-_ n _ i _ g tbat it was i _ direct oppo .-ition to tbe aew principles w _ ic ~ had beea inaugurated by the Reve lation of Febraarv .
Subsequently the article was rejected . T _ e following wns also adopted : — Art . S . — An armed _stlroupement Is , firstly , when it - _ersi of the _icdiridaa ' _s who _eompjse it carry arms ope _ iy or secretly ; secondly , when a single individual _zzrryivg arras openly U not immediately e _ ps'ledby the persons forming put of the _attrouptment .

M . _' . _SiRRUT _speke at some length against the above _punisbnients-as ialtagethor too severe . He declared them to be far worse than the _pendt-ka of the late government . > I . A- _Avosd prcposed , as an ameadment _, declaring that in the _Becead paragraph the penalty _sLoald be altered thus—eight days as s , minimum and six _ _WHt- _ s as a maximum . The amendmeat _^ _ras then pc 6 to the vote . - '• £ . firat trial wa 3 declared doubtful , end , en a second , it was rejected by a small-majority . M . _Hrrot considered that the views expressed by 15 . _Avond were corr & ct . and hc should _conseQuently _propoie that tbe ___ a of imprisonment be fixed from e _ e EiDnta to one year . —Adopted .
Ca the penalty fer the _oierez-pement taking place at night , H was proposed that the penalty should be from one year ' s imprisonment to three ; and again tbat it should _dssble what bad been decided for _aiiroupitxents by day . M . _Bscsard proposed the following additional paragraph : — ' Nevertheless , nc punishment shall be _awarded against a person _taking part in an assemblage unarmed , ami who _sh-fll Lave retired after the iim fiui _ m « ns made by the anriorities . "—Adoplsd . M . _Valeiie proposed as an amendment o _ the _nrt _ _paragraph _tc-c _ bslita £ e tbe penalty of _frod-Ve to ten years impri * c _ J _ ent for t _ at of from -five to ten rears solitary _cenfinement' . ' The government declared its acceptance cf the £ _ K ° - _ ment . i A Voice . —And the _aggravating _circanistanses of _niaht assemblages I
The Presides ! . —That i _ made tbe object of the following provision : — ' If the .

A _ i ___ ee proposed that the interdiction of civil rights shonld be optional , and net imperative . — Adopted , after one doubtful division . All ths other clauses _js-ere _successivaly adopted .
The vote oa the bill for preventing tumultuous assemblsges then took place , and gave tbe following _result _z—For adopting the decree , _47 S ; against it , S _ ; msjority ia its favour , 3 % .

( Renewed applause and cries of Vive la Republiqu _? _- ' ) Cries arose on all sides of ' We will have no reaction , ' ' We reject pretenders of any regime . ' ' We will neither have _Royalty , nor Imperial despotism , nor Military dictatorship ; ' whilst others declared tbat the affair was an imagined imposition , in order to injure Louis Napoleon . The sitting was closed amidst great agitation .
Monday Evekwc—The avenues to the National Assembly were crowded with people , excited by the announcement that the fate ofthe government ' hung on the question of confidence , engaged in the demand made by tbe Executive Commission for a monthly allowance to defray expenses . _N-Paw . os Bokaparte was tbe first to ascend the tribune , in order to disclaim , on bis own part and that of bis family , all hand , act , or part in tbe agitation that had been got up in their name , especially with regard to Louis Napolecn . His relative had been tbe first to accept tbe Republic , and by public declarations , both in London and addressed to Pari ? , to give in bis adhesion to the Republic . In conclusion , he called on government , by a direct , unequivocal ceclaratioD , to acquit his relative of the charges that had beer , _insinuated against him , and to declare the ' r viaws sg _. far as be was concerned .
M . Flocon , Minister of Commerce , said that was not the proper time to enter on a question which was not in the erd < r of the day . Tbe order of the day had been reeuiatec by the Assembly itself , acd could not be deviated from in an irregular way without great inconvenience . The _Fina-- ce Misrter nest rose and presented a financial statement of great length , which was received but coldly .
VOTE OF CONFIDENCE—BOK / FARrlST MOVEMENT—LOUIS NAPC-SOX _PROSCRIBED . M . Ditrat then rose acd read tbe report of tho committee , t _« which the demsnd of the executive of lOO . OOOf . a month bad been referred . The report was in favour of tbe grant . A debate of a tame and uninteresting character followed , until M , de Lamattinc , at an advanced hour of the day , rose aud proceeded to review the history of all tbat bad passed since tbe revolution , for the purpose of showing the difficulties that had to be encountered , llie orator , wbo had divided his _discourse into two parts—tbe first historical ofthe revolution up to the formation of the Executive Commission—had just finished the historical narrative , and the orator had de'ivered it with so much energy that he was obliged to ask leave to repose , and , witb republican simplicity , he sat down upon
the step 3 which lead to the tribune . A chair was placrd in the tribm : ? , but he preferred thc iessgrand position , and his bonhomie , of course , did not pass unobserved , wbenlo ! enters General Thomas , iornrerly a non-commissioned officer , but now jerked by a revoJntion ihki tho seat of Conrtais , he speaks—Lamartine bounds to his feet—tbe hall is agitatedthe ladies lean over—the president rings his bellthe huissiers sbout' En pZ _ ce '—all is _sileut , and the second part _, of the oration opens awfully witb the announcement that oivil war bad begen in the name of Liui ; _Napofecn . The _effect -was electrical , all shouted ' Vive la Republique , ' a law of proscription was demanded—it was ready cut and dry , and enly wanted that pistol shot to have it scaled .

AKOTnER _ACCJVJNT . WhiHt M . Lamartine _wa 3 speaking , it was resorted that several shots had been tired on tbe Place do la Concorde against the _Commasder-in _£ hief of the National Guard , a Nation ? . ! Guard , acd en officer of the line , with cries cf' Vive l'Etnpereur _Napslecn i" M . Lamartine . in announcing this fact , declared tbat it was tbe first blcod tbat bad flowed , but _heVrES happy it had not heen shed in the name of liberty , bat in tbat of _aknatieal attachment to military glory . M . _LijiABTisE next presented a project of-decree , by which the law of banishment -of 1843 , repealed by tke vote ofthe Assembly , whick had admitted three members of the Imperial iamily into the house , was to be _apoiied to Charles Loirs Napoleon , _wSo had "twice _proclaimed himself a pretender . Tho decree ¦ was to _rem-iia in force until it sbouldplease the legislature to _atrosste'it .
When M . Lamartine had _concluded , the _^ bole Assembly rose and cried ' Vive la Republique / ' The bill was at once passed by acclaroatirn . THS BILL ? 0 B -TEE -XCL'JSI ' _-. V OF LODIS HAPOL _ 0 „ . Tc _ 3 _ Av .-3 u . vK ] 3 . —The bill for the _teclusion of Louis _Napolesn from tfee Assembly , and from the French territory , occupied the whole of tbe Bitting . Jules Faere reported from the I 7 th bureau in favour of the . _admission of Louis _Sfapoleon . Buchez ,-reporter cf ths 10 th bureac _, opposed feis _admissien . _EuNAsivr _^ portef ef the G' . h bureau _-supperted the admission .
M . V _ n _ _i _ RD ( whe had formerly been governor er private tntor to Louis Napoleon ) read a letter wj'ich bebadefew days before received from LouiBNapoleon . 'Ia which-ihe writer _deslarj - that he was _unwiiliag _atpreseDtto enter France where his presence might be a cause af- _^ mbarr _ ss _ ient to tke republic , not on acceunt of his opinions , but _becacse he would 3 c all probability ba _; an object towards which seditious _menmightloak forthe purpose of forwarding then- own views . If hi * eountry wanted him , he would _hasten to enter the French territory ; if cot . ha _should-remain wLere he wss , in _~ E _ g _! and . M . _'YeHlard then asked if that was the language of-a pretender ; and after passing-a warm _enlosium on Louis _Napoleon , declcred that the Assembly wocld aet weakly and unjustly in'making-any difference between _"; him and the rest of the Bonaparte family . LL ' _-Maksohaij 6 poke at _soae-teogtiiagBiast _' _-the admission of Lonis Napoleon . |
M . Fresxemj declared that he- eauld not helieve that- £ _ e Assembly would dismiss _ffomhisseat a representative -ejected by four departments . -He then _askedif the Assembly bad not the courage to admit the heir of the Emperor Napoleon : ? Tremendous uproar greeted this demand . Ths PBESi 3 _ Kr felt that the representative ought at once to declare what be meant by so _etraage an expression- f Hear , bear ;} M _.-Fbes _?* --- said , that he merely meant to speak of the giory of the Emperor . He ss . w no reason why he wes not , in a Republican Assembly , to _-e _ pres 3 himself freely relative to ihe Emperor , or any other question , la conclusion , the hon . representative _deelared . tbat he feared _wnenmite tothe cry of' Vive Lonis Napoleon ! ' though he Bhould dread one greatly to tbat of'Vive la Pologne : ! ' The best cry of all-would be , _Vtvelasouveraincte-tkipeupte I
General G ___ ent Thoxas gave an account of the circumstances which had occurred the day before on the Place de la Concorde , but he added Eothing to what r * as already known . . . M . _Kbpellht spoke strongly for tbe non-ad _ iis 3 ion of Louis Napoleon . M . _Lobis'Bsako said tbat , s 3 a Republican , be mutt oppose the bill brought in by the _government . Shame and ese _. _rafion be os him who attempted ts forward _bisovvn personal ambition ! But he thought it would be to give a _fatgl importance to anyone to _excrude-jm _* 7 en elected by the people , from the
, _ Assembly . The Republic was now fixed _beyor-d the power of human power to _eecseit to recoil ; _and why fear any man ? Republican ideal woald advance so rapidly that nothing could withstand tbem ,-it-left free career ; _but-a measure like that now produced would be _ means to impede their progress , by casting a doubt , on tbeir omnipotence . It would be . unfair in respect tothe Republic to _eupposs the possibility of Louis Napoleon being _iEaperor , acd ss to his being President , it _vias ea y to prevent it , by declaring in the Constitution that tbere should be no ¦ President whatever .
M . F . Lasietrie spoke against tee bill for exclusion . ?_ _LEDRC-RoiiiNi This question is too important for the Government to allow the _disciunion tO paaB over without declaring its opinion . We bave been told . that we have violated tbe sovereigety of tbe people . Can such a charge be brought against those who founded that eavereignty on the 24 th of February ; and again , can tbe opinions of three departments be called the _sovereignty of the whole _people ? Certainly not ( murmurs ) . Allowsietotell vou tbat _jvou are not better revolutionists than the authors of the constitution of 1793 . The authors of that _constitution tell you that insurrection is legitimate when the whole of the _princiole is violated .
But has such a thing been done ? The sovereignty of tbe people oily exists i _ its ensemble , and in an absolute manner { laughter and murmurs ) . If one department were to think proper to elect the Count de Paris or Henri V ., would yon not S 3 y that department had made a blunder ? It bas abo been raid that the Executive _Cdtsmictea bad allowed it to be supposed thatthe law against the Bonaparte family was abrogated hv permitting other members of it to take their seats in the Assembly but to that I will reply bv saying , that cur colleagues of thafc _fimily have never suffered any political condemnation . Besides , was the Chamber ignorant of what had
taken place in tbe last few days ? A judicial investigation had just commenced , and it bas been _discovered that money has been distributed , sn'i the house from which tbat monev has come is known ; wiHe has also been distributed ; cries of ' Vive Napoleon ' hare resounded in our ears , and the walla have teen covered witb s 2 dition 9 placards . Within four day ? , three N _^ _roleonir-t journals were establisbeJ , _preparing the way for the candidatesbip of Louis Napoleon as President . If the National _Assembly thinks that no measures sacuid bs takenin the face of such fact ? , let it declare its opinion—tbe Executive Con _' mitj . ee does it ? duty , Jet ' the National Assembly do t __» eira .

the people have been spoken of , and these words had , ua deubt , tbeir effect on us . But we are now _utateamen , and reason must take the place of sentiment . ( Approbation . ) It has ken sai . d that Louis Bonaparte is a stranger to what is going on . That has been the expression of every one but himself . Has be come and given his adherence to tbe Republic ? I wish that tbeje _Republicans , who are assembled round the walls of this building , and who allow _themi-elves to be led away by generous sentiments , could hear my voice , for 1 would say to them , ' It is a law of necessity , but which will be only temporary . ' As for those who bave onlv placrd themselves under
this _ standard to work on the old souvenirs of glory against the Republic , tbere is uo pity for them . ( Approbation . ) At the conclusion of the hon . deputy ' s speech , there was a . great agitation visible in the Chamber . After some further _discussion , the President eaid . I shall now proceed to put to the vote the _questioE as to whether Louis Napoleon Bonaparte is admitted to take his 8 sat in the Assembly or not , ( Movement of great interest . ) ¦ T he question being then put , was voted in tbe affirmative by a greit majority . ( Immense sensation , which lasted sometime . )
_Inconsequence of this vote , Louis Napoleon is admitted to take his seat , subject however to prove that . be is a French citizen . The _Afsemblyseparated at a quarter past six , in extraordinary agitation .
PARIS _ELECTIONS . At two o'clock on Thursday the result was proclaimed in front of the Hotel de Ville , by the _Miyor of [ Paris , in tbe presence oi an immense crowd of people , and a great number of the National Guards . The _followinc are the successful candidates ' . — Caussidiere . 147 . 400 ; Moreau . 126 , 889 ; Goudchaux , 107 097 ; _Chancaraier _, 105 , 539 ; Thiers , 07 394 ; Pierre Leroux , 91 , 375 ; Victor .

On Tnesaay _cveBing great masses of the people assembled at the Porte St Denis . M . Clement Thomas , ihe general of the National GuardB , was on the spot , _exhortiag the crowd to obey the prorhmatioa of the mayor . One of the mob had the impudence to reply that' Iho people' were not afraid of the National Guard , and a < _-ked M . Thomas what he meant by his conduct . ' Do you not remember , ' said he , ' that I held the candle to you at night , before the revolution of _Fcbrusry _. 'in order to enable you to read the proclamation of Delessert , forbidding attroupements , and bow you c & mmented upon the infamy of sucb an order to tbe _sovvt-eiun people ; acd now you come here to enforce a proclamation ten times more tyrannical than that of _DelessMt . The mas was arrested , but was soon after set at liberty .
Similar crowds assembled on Wednesday evening . A group of some hundreds were singing the * Marseillaise' and ether " national airs , and no sooner were they disperse- by the military than they collected again at some sh > rt distance from the spot they had been driven from . A considerable force ef National Guards , Garde Mobile , troops of the line , lancers snd dragoons , had been ordered out , and bad been engaged in dispersing the mob till a late hcur in tbe night . The Portes St Martin and St Denis were surrounded by the Garde Mobile ; and the passage of carriages and of persons in that portion of the
Boulevards was intercepted by pickets of troops drawn np in files across the Boulevard . The number of persons _arretted on Thursday night was much more considerable than on cither of the preceding nights . Many were afterwards set at liberty , but 132 were detained iu custody . Tbe _oftroiipcmwiifs took place as usual , and in the game neighbourhood , that of the Porte St Denis ; and it was seriously apprehended at one time the people could cot be dispersed withont bloodshed . An attack was made on the bouse of M . Thiers , They vociferated , menaced , scaled bis garden gate , alarmed his family , and were finally driven off by the soldiery and National Guards .
The attroupanents at the Porte St Denis were reproduced as usual on Saturday night . 1 visited the spot at about ten o ' clock at night , when I found the populace collected in a dense mass round tho monument , with orators _haranguing theru as I have already described on former evenings . At about eleven , however , a movement took place whicb indicated , on the part of the authorities , some intention of _active repression . Troop 3 in considerable bodies advanced in colnmns by all the streets which debouch upon the
theatre of disorder . This matceavre was managed so adreitly by the military , that the crowd found itself unexpectedly shut up within _a-co _ iplete '_ r- 'wd of bayonets .

_LivkhpooIo Monday , June 12 . —The annual Conference of thi 9 body commenced its sittings tbis day , in the Brunswick Rooms , Ilunter-sireefe . The morning was occupied , as on previous _cccasions , in the receipt of tbe _credentials of the delegates , and in other preliminary _businenf-. This having _baen done , the Conference waa formally constituted , and shortly before three o ' clock Mr Frederick Green , a member oftho Central Committee , was called to the chair , in the absence of tbe _President ( T . S . Duncombe , Esq ., M . P . ) MrT . Barbati ( the _secre _' . ary ) then readthe following address from the bon . _Provident : — _Oi-cr-Norton , Oxfordshire , June 10 , 1848 .
GentUMEN , — I deeply rcgrot that the state of my health prevects me having the honour and the pleasure of presiding over you :- doliberatbnn thin year . Apart from the pergonal gratification it would have bfford > d me to have mit the _dolegatcs of the United _Tradec , I feel that thc present posiii > _a of public affalro , in this and in other countries , is ono of extreme difficulty , f . nd that tha _inlightened aud cordial uaion of all _c'usacs is more than ever imperatively required to enable you to avert dangers of great magnitude . Itapresenting , as job do , a largo body of tho _ludustrious classes , your decisions wiil
naturally exercise _considerable influenee upjn the settlement of many questions which now agitate Bocioty ; and it there _f ore _behores yon to be _cmtious as to the couroe you may resolve to adopt . _Looking at tho gravity of the crista , I can assure you that nothing but tho _cuuoe I have assigned would have preveuted me from atteadiDg your Confertiice ; but _» 3 that is Impossible I am confident that jou will require no apology for my _riqucBting your attention to a few points , to which , had I been able to attend , I should have felt it my duty to allode _.
I perceive by tho Annual Report of the Central Committee , that Blthough the past year has been one of unparalleled depression in the _commercinl world , and , a 6 a consequence , that largo numbers of frorhpcop _15 hRTe been deprived of employment , —yot , In despite of theso _unfavourable circumstances , the total incomo of the Association ia greater than it was in tho previous year . I _oauaot but regard this fact as indicative of the Association having acquired a firm hold upon the confidence and support of the trades . It is of the utmost import _, unco that the futuro _manageme & t of its _affairs should maintain and extend tbat fewliug of confidence . If the _priuciplesand obj ctB embodied in the constitution
continue to he advocated and catried outm the same conciliatory spirit , _woiehhaseo far characterised tho proceedings of the Association , there can , I apprehend , b 6 little cause for doubt aa to ita ultimately iffeotiog — . any beneficial changes for the trades . The list of _caseBof dispute between masters and mon , settled by _inenns of mediation alone , proves , that if this course ba prudently pursued , and the Association _properly supported by those whose interests it undertakes to protect , it will become the general arbiter of all suck disputes , and its decisions be regarded with respect by both parties . I should much prefer this kind of voluntary action and arbitration , to the appointment of any Labour Boards by Act of Par .
llament . In that respect , and also with reference to tbe proposal to establish a minimum of wages by law , I dissent from tbe _recOmmendationa of tbe Central Committee , contained in the _huslnesB paper ; I think that all government interference is calculated to cripple the independence and _silf-reliance of the people , and I know of nothing so valuable as a substitute for these qualities . It la questionable , also , In my mind , whether it would bo expedient to insist upon employers providing workshops , in all owes , for their workpeople . I admit the many and gross evils arising from the ' Middlemen . ' sys . tem , but I fear thst any attempt to remedy It b y _leglsla .
tisn would bo attended with so many difficulties , that it would practically turn out a _fftiluro , arid ia your _dealrc to check competition , you might check employment at tiie same time . Capitalists finding themselves , as they would conceive , most unjustifiably interfered with , in the application of their own resources , and in the management of their own affairs , might throw tbe whole bu _< _1-neBBof _employing tne _people into the hands ofthe government , an _ the' -working classes he cO-Veftad Into the slaves o' the government . In addition to this , it appears to mo that the two departments of tbe Association provide qalte sufficient duties for any one _committee to perform , and that , if woll discharged , tbey would supersede the necessity for any other measure .
I approve _of-useful " public works , ' and of the _appmutment ofa Minister of Labour ; but , as a whole , tho pro . posed addition t ) f the ' Labour Loague' to the existing i organisation seams to me inexpedient . I admit , how-! ever , that there is considerable weight tn th 9 suggestion , I that it may -induce those trades , whe are not yet pre' _portd to'jolE us , to aid the Association in carrying on an i agitation fa ? such improvements in tho social condition ofthe labourer , as depend _ ponParliamentary _sanutioa , I 'snd , thereforo , while I feel it to be tay duty to Btote my I _opinions frankly , itrestowith you . after having heard 1 _ iy reasons , to decide how far "tho proposals of tho I Central'Committee will prcmoto'the objects we all have I in view .
In other respects it tffferds me sincere pleasure to state , tbat _Icordialiy approve of the alterations which the Central'Committeorntenu to _submit'for your _consideration . _Havlug , while health-aad my other avocations permitted , given close attention to tho practical working : of the Association , I _ m bound to say , that the results I anticipated from a division of the 'business Into two departments , havo -not been realised , and therefore I think that the timo haB arrived when on _amnlffamation ofthe two branche $ 'ha 8 _'beoome desirable , and may be carried
out in the mode-proposed by the Central _ o _ imittee . ¦ Sho uld this be -also the opinion of ths -Conference , I should _recoT-caend that tbe constitution oi tho Board of Management _shouid be amended , and that Instead of tbe whole being annually elected , one-third only ihall retire annually , but each retiriag member to be ro-eligtble , _Considerinc as I 6 c , that continuity of action , and a thorough _knowledge of all the facts connected wl'h each particular case , are more necessary hr the conduct of your affairs thaa such j _^ ualitieB are in the _^ _first commerGiel bouses .
¦ C onnected with this sebject , _I-oan say , tbat my *_ per ! ence leads e « to rely Je 6 S upon _written laws than upon the ' _ _onesty and hno _^ rieflgo of thoBe who have to _administerthem ; snd ns I always at previous-Conferences made my acceptance of the office-of president con-Svliona } , and dependant upon my appro ? al of your rules , aod of thegEntltiine _ _selected lo be my -colleagues , I feel that there le _ ¦ _grsuier necessity now than ever for my adtering to that resolution . _Enfeebled , as I am , by protracted _-indispooltion , I ought , perhaps , to act upen the _adclce of my friends , and retire from the honour
of your presidency ; but I fee ! so deeply and so wortnly attached to tfce . great principles of which your _Aaceciationi is the advocate , that , so teng as it shall please -Cod to _ iveme lifoand strength , and that itis your pleasure _thatsl Bhoeldrbe numbored in your rnnke , it will bo my duty to remain ; , _always bearing in mind-the condition I hare preriously stated , tbat I approve of those who are to be . associate *! with mo In the direction of your affairs ; and , while on cbis queBtdon , I may no wellramark that J consider every change , * 7 hieh is not dearly justified by the proved Incapacity of . ihe individual , is a loss to tha entire _Association .
Individually , Ibeg to _szpregs my entire confidence in those who have hitherto managed your affairs , and to express my hope _tiiat they may be ugaln placed in a position to render their _scr ? IcoB to the association to -which their acquired experience ! , "t _d above all , their _/_ _eol and honesty , so well entitle them . In conclusion , gentlemen , I feel that I have -very im . perfectly and _cursorily glanced at but afew of tho leading _pGlnts upon _jtfhich you will haw to deliberate . P _. rmit mo , however , to repeat , that my most _a-Tiiious thoughts anfl warmest sympathies aro with you , and _thosewhom you represent . The organisation of labour , and th 3 lm . _proiasaent of _£ ho condition of tho labourer , is the great _gnestlon ofthe sge . Tho National Association haB manfully _iput Itself forward ia the nttemnt to 6 _olve tho dif .
Acuity ; and , whatever may bo its ultimate fate , it will not have existed in vain , If the same zeal , _psrseverance , aad _disinterestedness , continue to mark the conduct of its members and _oScers , which they have hitherto displayed _, iln these days , when thrones are crumbling around us , and w _ en the people of various countries are trying their hands at the manufacture of new constitutions , let It fee our pride to show that , with _exiBtisg privileges and improving Institutions , we can , _Ina peaceful , legal , constitutional , and _self-relying spirjf _, croate a public opinion , and establish a system in the land of our aires , that shaU secure to every man ' a fair day ' s wages for a fair day ' s work . ' Moro than this you have no right to demand ; with les .. , you ought not to remain _satisfied .
That your deliberations may be marked by wisdom , cud tend to advance tho happiness and prosperity of your order , is , gentlemen , now as ever , the slncore wish of your faithful friend , Thomas S . DoncoMbe , President . To the Delegates of the United Trades , in Conference assembled at Liverpool . Tbis address was received with loud cheers , and on the motion of Mr Lenkgan , seconded by Mr _Ishekwood , it was unanimously resolved tbat the address of the President be printed for circulation among the members . Mr Green said tbat he felt extremely Borry that the protracted illness of their hon . President prevented him from boins present . lie felt regret _because be knew tbat Mr Duncombe felt a very deep interest in the welfare of that Association , and not onlin its interestbut also
y , in all questions affecting the prosperity ofthe working classes It was therefore , ho had no doubt , a deprivation of a severe * character to Mr Dunoombe himself , that ho was not able to be present . But besides this _CRUse for regret , which he was certain all present felt as deeply as be did , the present wa 3 a crisis in the history of labour which it would require the wisest heads and the most experienced _judgments among them , to grapple with . Their hon . President , _possessing as be did a largo amount of experience , bad he been able to attend , would have been of invaluable service , iu tbe discussion of tho various important _eutjects which the Central Committee , in the _exercise of _llieir duties , had felt it _neoessary to bring before the Conference for its consideration . These were so fully sot forth in tbe business paper in the hands of members , that it wrs _notnecessary for him toad vert to tbem far .
Livkhpooio Monday, June 12.—The Annual C...
ther tban to say , thai ; the Central Committee had not introduced any subject , and proposed no alteration which did not appear to them absolutely required by present circumstances , snd aa being : _iadisponsablo to the permanent elevation of the working classes . It would be for the Conference to say bow far these proposed were calculated te improve the condition of their order . Lie would only repeat , tbat he felt an onerous and important duty had devolved upon him in tho absence of their highly respected President , and he trusted to their kind indulgence in its discharge , The next business to be brought forward was the annnal report . Mr T . Barrati then read the report , from which the following are extracts : —
The year through which we have just passed has most severely tested Its capabilities and Its stability , and t- manner in which it has borne lhat test will , we trust , fully satisfy the Conference not only that tho prinoiples of the Association are sound , but that tha machinery by which its objects aro sought to be attained aro such aa will moot any possible conlin _/ oncy , # # Tho general depression of tra ! e , and tbo consequent want of _crnployraext , had the twofold _effect of diminishing tbe funds , and at the same time increasing tha claims upon _thsns _, and the Central Committee have thus
during the wheleyear bad to contend with _difficulties of an extraordinary character and most pressing nature ; but the _subj > ined summary of tho principal occurrences since tho laBt Conference , we believe , Is sufficient to prove that the Association has surmounted all theBS difficulties , while tho Bligtt improvement which has recently taken place In some branches of labour has beea followed by a corresponding improvement in the affairs oftho Association , and offers satisfactory testimony to the fact thit the Association _possesses the _nndimlniched confidence of tho trades , _*& o understand its principles ) and have eiper ' enced its benefits . * *
In laying before tho Conference an abstract cf the leading occurrences ofthe past year , it ia but natural thac we should commence with tbat portion of the Association which causes it to diffor from all societies heretofore established to promote the interests of the trades . Wo refer » o the practice of mediation b ' _.-tWCen _maatOrS and men In cases of dispute , in order to settle by calm _reasoning and mutual concessions those differences , which , without such mediation and dispassionate consideration , might lead to protracted strikes , productive of the most injurious consequences to both parties . T 7 e are proud lo sty that tho past year has borne ample testimony to tho Importance , tho correctness , and the beneficial results of ita course of action , as the following abstract will Bhow : —
The report then proceeded to state tho names of the trades , aud the leading particulars of each case , in which the Association had beon successful by means of medhv tion . These cases were _thirty-four in number , and ln » eluded the ' _sllk-piekeie , Manchester ; block-printers ' , Crayford ; powir-loom weavers , Keighley ; _power-loom weavers , Bacup ; _power-loom weavers , Accrington ; _crate-mRkcis _, Potteries ; _chairmakers , London ; plumbers , E _Jinburgh ; gunmakers , Birmingham ; locksmiths , Willeuball ; joiners , Sbiffield ; cooperB , Greenock ;
join _.-rs , Whitehaven ; hearth-rug Kiaisers , London ; shoemakers , Maidstone ; Bait boilers , Northwich j _powerlsom weavers , Warrington ; nailers , Merthyr Tydvil ; paper-stainers , London ; bricklayers , Lynn ; mulo spinners , Chichenley , near Dewsbury ; cotton , spinners , Hazel Grove Mill , near Stockport ; _sUk-wlnders , Leek ; _woollon-block printers , Newchurch , near Bacup ; Scotch blanket weavers , _Mtllbridgo ; _sklnnerB , Edinburgh ; _Iron-tin _spoonmnkers , Blrmingb » m ; nailers , Oriell _; and nailers , Bristol , After briefly stating the promi . sent facts of each case , the report proceeded : —
Tho aura enumeration of tbese successful cases of me * diatiOH is cf itself a sufficient proof of tho efficacy of the system pursued by thia Association , and it scarcely needs that hny comment should be added by the Central Committee to tho facta thus briefly stated . But we sannot help directing the _atteution of the Conference , and the trades generally , to the Important fact , that oil these _viltories for labour were obtained at the _« _ost of a few pounds only fer travelling and other expenses ; that the whole Of them did not cost the amount which would hive _attendad a strike of two or three weeks In single
Instances ; and tbat the strikes thus prevented by rational , temperate , and peacoable moans , would , after entailing great loss upon both employer and operative , with all the heartburnings and animosities which are the invariable concomitants of such struggles , most _UUoly have ended as the majority of the strikes do , in the da . fiat oftho working classes . It is with pride , therefore , that the Central Committee record these instance * of success , in addition to the numerous other cases of former years , as constituting a body of evidence _^ sufficlently powerful to establish tbe _superiority of this Association to all others heretofore instituted for the
protection of industry In this country . Steikes against Reductions , _ o . —The _Central Cv _>_ _.-mittee have during the year granted support to _trark-s in withstanding attempted reductions In forty . four _caBes . It would far exceed the limits of a document lika this to particularise every case , or even to attempt a brief _statement of the leading features of each , but they pres « nta liBt oftho trades thus supported . Tiicck Si stem . — Tha Central _Commi-. tee have , where * ever practicable , continued the opposition of this AflSO . elation to the truck system . During the past year many convictions were obtained . appeals and _Dispoteo Cases In the _course of the year the decisions of the Central Committee have been objected to in a few instances by the parties concerned . The particulars have been already laid before the trades in the monthly and weekly _reports ofthe Association .
The report then briefly stated tbe leading pomtB ot difference in two important cases , namely , the Crayford block printers , and the Holytown miners . It _proceeded—The'constltutlon oftho Association provides amply for the settlement of all disputes by the ap . pointment of a competent tribunal . The delegates of the trades in _coafarence assembled are tho only proper parties before whom complaints of _moJ-admi & istration of tho laws by the Central Committee can bo made or authoritatively decided . If the matter is of a pressing
nature , and of sufficient _mpgoitude , the complaining ; parties have the power of causing a . special conference to bo called to consider the subject ; and we submit that the decision of that body , representing the whele ot the trades In tho Association , and composed it may be pre . sumed , ofthe most intelligent members ef these trades , would be more satisfactory , as well as more binding upon nil parties , than tho decisions of separate meetings called together to hear ex parte evidenoe , given hy parties whose IntereBt in the matter Ib certain to give more 6 * less , an _anduo bias to tbeir Btatemont . The Central Committee
will be at all times ready to submit their conduct to the tribunal of Conference ; they consider _thcmselveg tobe placed In the position of trustees for tho whole of the _tradeB connected with the Association , and while determined to apply tho funds contributed by them in the most just and impartial manner , will , at tho same time , be ever prepare- to give an account of all their actions to the duly constituted representatives of the tradeB . If the working classes would but consistently act up to the _dictatoa of justice , and carry out the proper forms ef business in such matters , it would materially conduce to tha attainment of the great objects we have in view , snd
at the same time prevent much disunion , acrimony , and loss , which now takes place in consequence of the disregard of such forms . In futuro , wo trust that the trades , knowing that tho constitution _provi-lef ! , either at the annual conference , or by a conference _speedily _BUUimoned for the pis-pose , the means of properly investigatin g _**& - disputes , will , when appealed to individually by parties protesting _ugalnst the decisions of the Central Com . mittee , deoii-e to entertain ths question in thoir Individual capacity . If we are to succeed at all , it can only be byacting strictly up to the constitution of the Association and transacting all eur business in a regular and straight ! forward manner .
Another topic In connexion with this subject may be mentioned . It is a painful one . Many trades evidently jein tho Association for the expresspurpose either of guining an advance , or In some _wsy or other making use of the _Associatios to promote their individual interest tho moment the six _monthB havo expired which is _necessary to entitle them to support . In other cases we rtgrotto say that several bodies , who in consequence of their connexion with the Association , and the support they accorded them , have received advances of wages and been materially improved in their condition , have never , since gaining theso advantages , contributed a single shilling to the funds : their levies are In arrears . Now , if working men will not act justly towards each other , If every trade Is to take sb uoh out
m of the funds of the Association , and to put as Httle in as possible , it Is easy to see where the matter will end . Tho short-sightedness and _selfishneBS of the parties who act In snch an Inconsiderate and onesided manner , is the greatest enemy that can possibly ba met with to the permanent improvement and elevation of the order of industry .
