Be ^ reatlj rejoiced , at the assemblage ^ hich he , saw . before , hlm ^ especially when' lie considered tnii tiie main-pbject . of that assembly was to obtain UsJversalSii&Qgej . He -wopli say a few -words on the o&sfliaffu which they had [ gamed by the ¦ want of the elective franchise . For the ¦ want of that right they lad got tie National Debt , -with all its appendages , : the interest of which they annually had to pay —{ heari hear ;) - < -aad ; jnntiL they got ridofjit they «> nld never iaTe any peace , rorthe ¦ waflrof tJniversal SnSiage They had an overgrown Aristocracy , ' ^ sefdHne ; tbe- mfl amount of their -wealth , antftalent anainteffigence , in opposine hy
all the means in their- powsy-the demands of the people ; and -while the Aristocracy existed in fhjg * tate it wtHjld alwaysUe ia opposition to the interests , and-prosperity , and happineW , of the -working people of this . gangdom . . - For the vant oi the Suffrage they had an . enormous standing ; army and an overgrown churchTj and now-the Government , or rather the Poor law Commissioners , -who had almost all the power of ^ governInent , were . attempting to build bastiles all over the country . ( Hear , hear . ) While 1 he Whigs -were everlasttngly preaching economy iiey were Sling the country ¦ with , commissioners of every descriptioiiiand , for these reasons , he-wassaiisfied that the country could not be prosperous until
the people -were pot in possession of their political rights . With these convictions , nothing could gire him greaterpleasure than seconding' the resolntion . ( Cheers . ) -. Mr .. JDouslas , of Birmingham , -vras then introduced to the meeting , and was received with very loud cheers . He said he came forward amply for the purpose of telling them that some of the men of Birmingham were mere , for they required not the inducements of eloquence , even if he had them to iesto-ar , to excite them to a determined demand of those rights without "which they ever must be slaves / Cheers ) There were three things which a meeting Eke that indicated . In the first place , it indicated mat there was , in reaEtv , some grounds for the
complaints they were mating . They had been accused of travelling up and down the country for the purpose of agitating the people ; bnt there never was a falser accusation against innocent men ; it ¦ was the country that was agitating us , and not they ( the speakers ) that were agitating the country ( cheers ) , and if Government wished to get rid of aptatoc ? they must likewise get rid of an agitated people . { Cheers . ) Snch then was the first lesson wiich such a meeting taught them , namely , &aX there were good grounds for the complaints Thica they made . ( Cheers . ) The next lesson was that the people themselves were s © completely convinced that there were such grounds that they went l
-willingy along with their leaders , and this was the Bast striking and practical lesson of the three . It -showed that not only was there sufficient ground of complaint , but that the people had sufficient power to get r id of its cause . ( Cheers . ^ ) Now he would not bank the question . They must be made aware fiat they had a great hill to climb ; that in this esatest they must hare no feather bed soldiering They had many enemies whom they must fight long xod earnestly , because they wouM fight for good Sings . ( Cheers . ) They had the whole Aristocracy d the country againsf them , for the exceptions were » few that they only proved the rule . They had a great number of the middle classes against them
aiso , ma he was sorry to say that the £ 10 franchise hid given power , bnt not generosity of spirit to its receivers . ( Loud cheers . ) They had , besides , the liole of the clergy against them , in England , Ireland , and Scotland , aadthey , too , were beginning to see in those demonstrations of the people , mnetbing of the fearful looking for of judgment tad fiery indignation of an insulted people . | Lond J&eers . ] They had the WMgs against them ; they lad held up their hands against the Whigs ; but ihey had need to hold up both hands against the Tones . [ CheersJ Bnt they ( the people ) had now again t their enemies a greater amount ef strength ad unity than everlhey had before . They had
aore confidence in their leaders , and more saaaimitr of purpose . ( Cheers . ) Every one of &sm -were ready to lay aside their idols , and go at mce for the great . *• one thing needful . " ( Loud ters . ) Mr . Attwood had a hobby which he rode furiously ; but the people had made "him descend som it , and informed him that he must ride upon mother one . Sir . iielden must give up his hobby d ; the Poor Law . ( Cheers . ) They had got the people to came down from she hobby of the Corn Laws , © a ihe men of Glasgow had passed a Ttnanimons isolation to the effect that they would not go apicst any law until they had obtained Universal Safrrage . ( Tremendous cheers . ) In the simnlidtv

( Cheers . ) He thought it ? scessary that the meeting should now hear a little ^ reference to the deputation which was about to be Rnt to London .

, -Mr . ¦ Whittle then came forward , and said he had addressed them in worss times than they now oyoyed , en the subjects of Parliamentary Reform and ^ Universal Saffrage , and other matters of a politacalnature . Since then they had had the Re . form Bill , and he Wds ready to admit that they had accepted it for the hour as one step towards accomplishing that which they reqnired . He had heard one name mentioned thai day , a name which had become degraded among his countrymen . He alluded to Daniel O'Connell ^ but although he was
surprised at die conduct 6 i Mr . O'Connell , he was happy to « ay that be was taking the best possible course to serve them , for he was removing a serpent from thei r path . [ Hear . ] He had made himseli fcnown in his sentiments , ami he was doing all tkat he could to sacrifice the labouring class , as he had sacrificed the 40 * . frerholJers . He had besides furnished one more nsetul lesson—he had shown them ( hat if they meant to-do themselws a service they must rely on tht-mselv «? s . He-would most especially enjoin them to use all their energies to support then-delegates . [ Hear , bear , and cherrs . l
^ Mr . Lowhy said he had come from Newcastle ^ nnderland , and Shields , to offer them , in the nameef all these places , the r ight hand of fellowship and to express their readiness to abide by them iu whatever they mig > . t deemit expedient to do . Thev must wrest the pciwer from out of the hands of their oppressors . ( Great cheering . ) They had not turned without cause against th <* aristocracy . The-v had honoured the throne , and they had honoured the aristocracy as Ion ? as they conld : now tffev oneht toact for the peop l * . They had been told that the aristocracy were determined to go against ih » m
but it mattered little if the pe-pk were true to themselves , and if they would stand and be readv with theirpurses and their persons , as need might require ^ He was plad to see that thewboWome admonitions of Mr . Cobbett and Mr . Hunt had not been forgotten . ( Long and lond cheering . ) He had confidence in the people that they would all do their duty . They musi he well aware that they were fast approaching that crisis when Government must grant all their demands , or put them down . They had only sincerely to will it that they should be free and they could be free . ( Cheers . ]
Mr . djFT , of Halifax , then addressed the meeting in a short but effective speech ; in which he congratulated the men of Manchester on their splendid demonstration , iufoimed Ibem of the Peep Green meeting on the 15 th of next month , and assured them that the men of Hnliiax and Yorkshire generally were with them in heart and hand . ( Cheer * . ) Mr . Ptzrce , of Birmingham , would only congratulate them on the demonstration of that day . After a few energetic remark * , he conclnded with expre . * sing his hearty concurrence in the proceedings oltbe day . Vt . Fletcher ra ? e to move the fourth resolution , while the rain was powering in torrents . He wa < deKghted tolook round him and see * uch nnmbers
assembled . He was proud al * o to think that it was the working men or Lancashire , and the wefJVer boys in particular that had originated the national association . He urged upon them the necessity nf supporting the urinciples upon which th » -y had set ont , and declared it was his own determination nev . r to swerve from these principles . He would make it his proudest boast that he never swerved from his political consistency . The Whigs were continually tinkering the cousdtutiim , but th ^ y -were like the tinkers in mending a kettle , they mended one hole amlmadetwo . He alluded to a remark which had been made by Mr . Rolde at a meeting of Consen-a tives , when he ( Mr . Robie ) had said he supposed meant him to drink to
they thatlittle of the constitution which remained . He would ask them what it was that they had to conserve ? Their principle object was to promote the interest * of the working class ; and by giving them their rights they wonlu find it the best means of proiecring property . He concluded with movng the resolution . Mr . Taylor , of Rochdale , seconded the resolution . He would onJy remark that there were few men in the _ House of Commons to wtiom they could entrnsttheir petition to presentj nor even to support it . There were very few like their Hon . Chairman . It had often been asked what was the rea . < ou so lew of the prayers of the petitions had been responded to ? He could teil them that it was because they were not represented , and il they would have their petition attended to , they must alter their condirimv .
Mr . Dufft had great pleasure in addressing the meeting , -which he had come purposely from London to do . After a Few observations on tne principle ol the People ' s Charter , he expressed his astonishment atthebne of conduct Mr . O ' Connell was pursuing , who , he said , had drawn himself away from tne people of England , and was hugging the bloody and dastardly Whigs . Air . Nightjsgaie , in a neat speech , moved a vote of thanks to be passed to tbe -authorities ! of Manchester , for the manner in which they Lad acted . He drew a contrast between the idiuatiou in -which they then stood in 1838 , and the situation in which they . had been placed b y the authoriaesr in 1819 . He was sure the meeting would readily respond to the resolntion . » ¦ , Mr . Richabdsos seconded the resolution .
Itwasthenmoved that Mr . Fielden leave the chair , and that the chair be taken by Mr . R . Cobbett , wh . cn was agreed to . The last resolution was then proposed , embodying a vote of . thanks to Eari Stauhope . and Mr . ' Johu FieldeH . The rej ^ olution was carried unanimously , amidst tremendous cheering . Mr . Whittle then begged that the meeting would give three groans for the three Denl Kings , the Poor Law Commissioners , which was instantly complied with in awful groans . Mr . Fielden returned thanks . He expressed himself much gratified- at the honour they had conferred on him in calling him to the chair , and still
more so with the orderly manner in which they had conducted themselves . He spoke particularly of the circumstance of the authorities of Manchester haviog declared that they did not intend in any way to interfere with the meeting . After the gentleman had iinished speaking the multitude almost to a man cried ont for three cheers toFeargus Q'Cennor , which were given , and also three cheers for the authorities of Manchester . The Hon . Gentleman having concluded' his brief speech , he prorogued the meeting , and the people , who had stood in the heavy rain , males and females , dispersed as quietly and in as good order as if they had come from church .

liverpool gheat radical Demonstration . . ; Notwithstanding the unpropitious state of the weather and-the most strenuous exertions of grinding maxters , the people of Liverpool nobl y did theirdpty on Tuesday last . The meeting which we abr idge from the Liverpool Courier , was heldin the Infirmary Yard , when from 5 to 7 , 1 ) 00 hardy working men , stood for Be veral hours under pelting rain and the inspection of their master , who came a . « spies in great numberp , to discover the delinqueuts and to watch the proceedings . From the time that the meeting commt-nced till its close , several thousands came and went at meal times anxious to catch a glimpse and testify their approval . Orders were
issued b y employers that their men should not attend , but the men were not to be intimidated . This was the first out door Demonstration that the working people have had , and when we consider the many adverse circumsl ^ inces , it was not less important than any of the immense meetings which have lately been holden . The hustings was spacious and well situated , capable of accommodating about / 0 persons , and upon which we observed many of the middle classes . The popular speakers were loudl y cheered as tbey presented themselves , and notwithstanding an anxious desire upon the part of some monprel Whigs and Tories , all artempts at riot and disorder were instantly snbdued by the pood sense and discretion of the people .
On the motion of Mr . John Robinson , seconded by Mr . Poole . Mr . ( joodfellow was appointed to the chair .
The Chairman addressed the assembly as fellowworkmen , and said he had been appointed to take 'bechair on this " momentous occasion He . assumed the office with great diffidenceY-as he was not accustomed to address such an assembly , but he niiVbt 5 ? afely say that this was the proudest moment of hi > li'e . The working classes of tliis town had lung heen noted for their good behaviour at public meetings , and he donbted not on this occasion they would show that they merited the character which ' they had attained in this respect . He need not say he was glud to see the working classes thus utepping forward to assert their right * . It would he nniiececsary for him to repeat his hope that every inuividunl
would keep the greatest quiet and order . Their enemies must not have it-to say that they were an unruly and disorderl y mob . They met that day lor tbe purpose of co ! in > ieriug upon the best means ol attaining Universal Suffrage , Vote by Ballot . Yearly Pnrhamejits , No Property QaalificHti 6 n , and Paym lit of h \ embers . He would not trespa > s further upun their time , as they had many eloquent speechns to hear from individuals much more cnpnble than hr was of expoundiua to tliem the priucipleH whieh they advocated . Once more be recommended peace and gooJ order , aud should procee . l to business He shonld call upon a working man—his friend , Mr . Robinson , who would propose the first resolution . . ¦ -
..-Mr . Joun Robixsos also addro-st » d the assembly ns lellow-wurknieu . lie was called npou to bring nuder their notice a resolution which contained a great and important priuciple ; a principle « hich il carried out to its full eflecto , coald not fail ultimately to bring peace aud content , and to work beneficially for the people « f rhis laud . The principle to . which he aliuued was UuiversJal Suffrage—hear and - pnrtial chet-ring—or the rigiit tor every man in this nation to vote fur-those who should represent the people in the CoinmoHs Hou > e of Parhauuent . This was a principle which was grounded on truth and justice , aud ibeir worst enemies , while they opposed it , dartnot deny the justice » f it . It was tlieir right , and no arguments had ever yet been advanced wbicli could impugn that right . While tlieir enemies dare
not deny the justice of this pnncipJe , they viliti ^ d them as iguorant and unlearneu ; they said they were so ignorant that they were not to be eutrnstW with a p . iviiege so great as th . it of voting for theuaselve * . If tbey were to change places with those who talked thus , if they had the power , what would be said if they acted , not upon the princiuU ; of Christian charity , which said , 'do unto others as you would they should do uuto you , " but upon the principle of doing to them as they had done while they were in power ? If they did * thus , would tlv-y nut usurp fili the place and power , and grind down their oppressors as those individuals had groin d them down?—Hear , hear . —But they would notdu sr-1—thrirpriuciple was not of that nature ; it wa * loo bo ' . y and just aud goou ^ tliey were lor equ-. l rights and equal privileges . —Cheers .
Mr . GEonaE Edmonds , of Birmitifham , was next called upuu . He sitid , when lie came ou that pliitform , in lnoking out for a Rndical face , he had accidentally hit upon one , which was that of the la < t speaker who had addressed them . It was a remarkable circumstance that , twenty years ago , that individual was present at a eivat meetinir in Birmingham , which waa held at Newball-hill , for the purpose of advocating Universal Suffrage . He mtist say that if the meeting had had no othereffectlhan "? extend principles that had had « uch an effect , —Tl it had brought forward such a man wbo had joined with those of similar opinions in Liverpool , it had not been held in vain . He came to Liverpool delegated by the Birmingham political connexion , and
he was glad now to find at the present moment , ifcit ^ the people of * Liverpool were associated for the HttJiinment of their rightii , . or advocating which lie was « t-nt to prison for nearly twelve mouths . Doctor Dodd had wntten his Prison Thought * , and he nlso could tell them prison thonghrsjmany and bit ter ; but the fruit had been knowledge , and they knew that knowledge was power . He had assisted his excellent lriend , M r . Attwood , in framing the Political Union of Birmingham ; and if that body had done nothing else , it liad at least e < tabljshed theimportant and essential fact , that the Reform Bill , lor which they had so long contended , was a delusion . It was admitted on ah hands , that the association to which * he allnded had been mainly instrumental that
m carrying important measure . If that union could carry that measure , what ongut the people now to carry , with the additional knowledge anfl power which they had obtained ? He rejoiced that he was called upon to take part in the first grand straggle for their just ri ght * , in the attainment of wnich he knew they should not lail . He rejoiced in this grand movement . It was a grand movement , becauseit called for an arrangement « m the lirst princi ples of society , for the rights of man . the inalienable nghtsof the people .

And he / would tell them what moral force . was . \ If they could imagine that to be , what it was not , a fine sunny day , and some fellow , who , like a certain claWof . pouV ticians whom he would not . mentionj was fond of getting his hand into other people ' s pocket * , —il they could suppose the sun . to be at his back , * t hrb $ inK his outline on the ground before hinar , and that he were suddenly to see another ehadow snrmonnt ^ i by a cocked hat , and holuing in the right hand : a troncheon—' twould be but a shadow—nothing op earth else - bnt soiamiliar was the man with the constable of the parish , that he would know there
