itft than tun nunntea , srarr part of the spacious buUJing was cr > twded to roflfecation . ¦ ¦ - ¦ ' . _ B . Hidlt , E * q . t wai called to the chair . Upon n « ng to open the business , he was received with tend ¦ ¦ jod Jong-contintred eheenng « He said that tbe duty wbicn bad devolved upon him ttbs of a v « y Afferent nature to that which he had annapatod—Owar , bear , hear , and cbeer *)—for he bad nnfdgned ^^ leasuw in informing them that instead of bring juro r * in ad wpntp . they were about to be pnrhapators in a reconciliation . fThe cheering and waving of hat * which followed this announcement interruptea the chairman for several minutes . ) On resuming , he said , that the rood
sense of the- men of . Birmingham . would always insure far every man-wbo came belere them a patient and indulgent hearing—{ hear , hear)—that that night two resolutions would be submittedfor their consideration , in tht canvassing of which they would exercise their discretion and bett judgment—( hear , bear )—and so far from the present discussion having an evil tendency , it would but U-nd to strengthen tenfold the hands of the ynura-- { bear ) —and , encourage them te increased exertiou in that glorious cause in which thej-knew he had so ardently struggle —{ cheers)—and which with life alnneie would givenp . ( CbeerA ) He wenld now allow the gentlemen to take their own courseand
, hoped tnat die proceedings would be conducted in s > . ch a way as to preserve forthe men of Birming ham that character which tbsy had so lonir , ancLso wellmiuntaiaed . ( Cheers . ) 8 » ««* , •» Mr . Dououas then rose and was loudly cheered . Alter addressing the chairman , the ladies and bis leliew-townsmep , he said—that he had a rightto feel some disappointment for he had come there prepared with slonp , a beautiful , arid a convincing speech , —( laughter)—which , howeTer , by some malicious contrivance had been altogether rendered useless by the good sense , the discretion , and the prudence of the two Hon . Gentlemen whose conduct was to have been matter of discussion . . ( Cheers . ) Oh
, u was so sharp , so keen , and yet so polite and wxtty withal , that he didnoVknow&ow he should survive the disappointnvlbi : < Hear , hear . ) When he left home his old wife and daughter wished him a safe return , and a happy deliverance ; and when he returned to them they could generally judge by his face of the tidings which he had to impiul ; and instead of seeing him dolefnl and w «» eful they would * ee him young and , eheerful again . ( Cheers and laughter . ) . He ; had a happy home , and he did not wish anything ttr disturb it ; and his friend Edmonds behind him reminded him that he too had an old wife at home , who weuld be anxiously looking for his budget . ( Cheers and laughter . ) Now that he had * aid _ 80 much , he protested to God that never m the
wholeeourse of his life had he experienced so much anxiety , which , however , was followed by more than conuterbalancing deught . [ Cheer * . ] They all knew that their , motio had been " Peaces Law , and Order . " He had received letters from Edinbro and other p laces , expressing the most livel y and anxious impatience respecting-the result of their present proceedings —[ bear , hear ];—and instead of the forebodings of some and the malicioa * hopes of others being realised , the phantom of dineord had find , and was replaced by a more substantial union than everT > eforeexisted . [ Cheers ] Therenolution which he had to tubmit was declaratory of their old motto y and he was sure that , organised as the peo ple had been under that motto , they would see
more protection in adhering to it than in deserting its principles . [ Hear , hear . ] Any man who recommended physical force must be a wild man and a bad man ; for who could say where it would end ? As to tiie right which the people had of resisdng aggression upon the part of others , even by phyrical force , no man admitted it more fully than himself--[ cheen ];—while he conld not u * e language too strong against any naming of a day when the moral exertions of the people were to cease , and when , aril » ir iu to commence . " [ Hear , and cheers . ] Good God I could any state of thing * be more frightful than the notion of savage warfare , when father miEht be opnosed to son . ud hmrW
against brother , and the result of which must be the levelling and destruction of all that moral tempi * which had cost so much trouble and pains to rrar . ( Cheers . ) With this Mew of the caxe , he would , with confidence , submit the resolution , which had been acquiesced in by the Council , and the adoption of which by that meeting * opld ring with a joyous echo through the land , gladdening the heart of every friend of freedom , and discomfiling the maKciou * hopen and anddparionx of thneoemieK ofthepeoDle . ( Loud cheers . ) Before concluding , however , he could not but congratulate the two Hon . Gentlemen upon the manly and independent part which they had acted , without any
compromue upon either side of the slightest . portion of their principles or their honour . ( Load cheers . ) Mr . Douglas then proposed tbe resolution , which will be found in another part of this report . Mr . Salt then came forward to second the resolutioit , and was received with bud and long-continued cheering . He said that this was a very wicked world—( l aughter ) --that he was happy , however , to state to that meeting that no difference whatever existed between him and Mr . O'Connor . ( Cheers . ) For when he thought that he had any reason to canrare that gentleman , he took that course which he wonld have taken with- his brother , or with his dearwt friend , who * line of policy he thonstht like ! v
to injure the popular cau * e . ( Cheers . ) -But when he discovered hi * error ^ with that degree of frankness which he trusted would ever mark bis character , h » came forward and apologised to Mr . O'Connor , and which be then repeated . ( Cheers . ) He , as well a * Mr . Douglaji , had come there prepared to be very wicked , —( cheers and langhter )—bnt he was glad that both his friend Bought * and himself had been disarmed . ( Cheers . ) There was no portion of the empire more dreaded by bad men than the Birmingham Union ; and thacwas because they hud always persevered in the one uniform steady conr-e . Here Mr . Muntz was observed makinc bis wav to the
platform , when the cheering stopped the speaker several minutes . He was glad to saa the women of Birmingham in yonder gallery—( cheers)—because he was sure that they would heartily co-op « rat « in the proceedings of that night . ( Hear . ) He held no ill-will to Mr . O'Connor , but he would , upon all occanoni , denounce ' every man whose couduct he ihooght calcnlated to divert them from that course wbicb tbey were ao sftadily prosecuting . Mr , Salt continued to-address die meeting at some length , and said that be , too , had been cheated out of his speech ; but be did not think it necessary to say more upon the present occaidoh than tb at he cordially seconded the resolution . He taen retired and was loudly cheered , after which the resolution wasput and was unanimously carried .
Mr . O'CoNHOR then came forward and was received with cheering and waving of hats which lasted for a condderable time . He said , Mr . Chairman , working-women , and working-men : of Birmingham , —Instead of addressing yon to night as a jury empanu-lled to try a que * uoQ between Mr . Saltand myself , I address you as a deliberative asyembly to decide upon a question of privilege , and of right . Mr . Salt commenced by telling you that this was a . very bad world . Now , I tell you that This is a very good world we live in , To lend or to spend or to give in , - B |^ baaow ^ oxjbe ^ wisk for ^ ne ' s own Irsth * Terywon » tworki that * verwas known .

" ( Cheers . ) Sir , had that been preserved as an amendment , I should not have dreaded the sharp and polished steel of Mr . Douglas it *
, fineness , nor its sarcasm ; nor the preparations of Mr . Salt , both of which' I would have met with a sledge-hammer . ; But fall .. canse of qnarrel having ceased , and Mr .

( Heir , bear . ) Sir , M r . btepberis is a Christian minister , a shepherd watchful and careful over his flock , but which flock has been pounced upon by the wolves . ( Hear , hear . ) ' 1 hey have been excommunicated from the power of earning a mUerable subsistence , because they worshipped with him , and paid deference to his opinions . ( Load cheers . ) And for weeks _ together has that minister surrendered his poor pittance for the sustenance of those who were victims to a pure and uusullied conscience . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) Who , th « u , is to blame ? Those who produce the eril , or those who boldly resist it ? ( Cbe « rs . y I see with' you , Sir ; and see with the , people , but one possible means of arresting licentiousness , and stopping unjust dominion , and that is by Universal Suffrage . ( Cheers . ) Perhaps .
Sir , you are not aware that there is no barrier opposed to the procuration of a brick and mortar franchise , while th « re is no standard erected for intellectual eudowment . ( Hear , hear , and chefw . ) In Laucatshire and Yorkshire , and in agricultural counties the amount of franchise can be procured by adding a iwo pound cow abed to an eight pound house ; and this is the sort of stuff that is | o form the representative quality in the Constitution of this country . ( Hear , hear . ) Does noti ^ the feeling of the rich towards the poor much remind you of the lady who was ovvrtakeh in a cold shower of rain , and sought sbelkr in the not less cold hovel of a . widow ? . whereupon she observed , ^ My poor woman , are you not very cold ?

( Cheers ) Sir , l have never Been nor heard of so strong a justification of physical force as that contained in the Btrmiiighani Journal of the 6 \ h of October last , in answer to a paragraph in the Sun newspaper , whendn the writer says that the people ture in earnest , an 4 that more is to be expected from their
