BIEMINGHAM CONFERENCE WEDNESDAY—SECOND DAT .
The Conference in pursuance to previous arrangements , assembled at nine o ' clock in the morning , when there was ss large a number of the delegates present as on the first day . Mr . Robbbts , as Secretary to the Disputed Elections Committee , reported their decision on the Worcester election , and said they had come to the conclusion that the gentlemen elected at both the contested elections should be received as delegates . In making this announcement , ce was reqnested to aak the concurrence of the Conference .
Mr , O'CoKSOS thought that a ¦ worse precedent than that hinted at by Mr . Roberta could not be established —( hear , hear . ) If there had been two elections at Worcester , one of them must be wrong—{ hear , hear . ) It might appear to be an exceedingly liberal measure to admit the whole of tbs delegates elected , but It had an ultra-democratic tendency , and the decision to which the committee had come , was exceeding the powers given to them—( hear , bear . ) Mr . P * -BR"X entirely differed with Mr . O'Connor in his construction of the law . If the committee had been a strictly legal body , and if their decision was binding legally as -well as morally , then perhaps there mieht be Bome weight attached to Mr . O'Connor ' s observations . He recommended them to act in a
conciliatory spirit Sir . O'Connor had spoken of the disfranchising tendency of the committee ' s decision . Now , how could the fact of giving a larger number of representatives to the Council , instead of a smaller one , be disftanchisement ? It was the most extraordinary definition of the English language he had ever heard—( hear , hear . ) The ChaIKMan put the motion for the reception of the report A Delegate rose for the purpose of proposing an amendment , but This - » as objected to by Mr . O ' Conror , on the gronnd that as & point of order , an amendment could not be made on the reception of the report The report was then put and agreed to . The Secketabt read the ininutes of the previous evening's business . Mi . < rCo > 'J * OB moved that they be confirmed . Mr . Wilkissos seconded the motion and it was
agreed to-Mr . LoteTT now suggested that it would be desirable to have the answer of Mr . Beggs with respect to the question which he ( Mr . Lovett ) had put to him the previous evening . —( hear . ) It would he remembered that he asked Mr . Beggs whether he would consent that the "words contained in the fourth resolution he had moved , namely , that the Bill to be presented by the National Complete Suffrage Association , be taken as the basis of discussion , " be omitted , and that the words " the document called the People ' s Charter be taken as the basis of disenssion , * ' be inserted instead thereof , —( hear , hear . ) If he ( Mr . Lovett ) received an answer in the negative , he should feel it bis duty to move an amerdment— iCheers . )
Mr . Bbewster contended that Mr . Lovett could not move an amendment- They had not come there te consider the People's Charter in particular , but other doenments that might be laid before the Conference—( disapprobation ! . D .-. Kitchie thought it -was contrary to the order of debate for one delegate to pnt a = question to anotherihear . bear , and laughter ) . Mr . Lovett said that not having received an answer from Mr . Be / gs , he should feel constrained to mote an amendment—thBar . hear ) . With respect to the
objection that had fallen from Dr . Ritchie , he did not thini it possessed the least weight , because be ( Mr . Lov * tt > had distinetly made the proposition to Mr . Beggs , with the view to maintain union , and to avoid the necessity of his moving an amendment—( hear , hear ) . He thought it would have been well if Mr . Beggs had consulted his friends as to how they could agree in their mode of proceeding , bnt as they seemed disposed that the qnestion should come before the Conference , he begged to more the following
amendment—•• That the document called the People ' s Charter , embracinz al ) the essential details of jest and equal representation , couched in plain and definite language , capable of being understood and appreciated by the great mass of the people , for whose government and guidance all laws ought to be written , —that measure having been before the public for the last five years , forming the basis of the present agitation , in favour of the Suffrage , and for seeking to secure the legal enactment of vhich , vast numbers had suffered imprisonment , transportatluu , and tiestb . —tins , in me opinion ot this meeting , a prior claim over all other documents proposing to embrace the principles of jnst representation ; it is therefore resolved , that weproceed to discuss the different sections of the People ' s Charter , in order to ascertain whether any improvements c&n be made in it , and what those improvements shall be ; it being nectEsary to make that document as clear and perfect as tK - 'Esifele "—lloud cheersi .
This was the amendment he had to propose on the notion of Mr . Beggs . He bad expressed his views so fully when he rose to request his frieDd Mr . Beggs to consent to the alteration proposed , that it was not tLeeesEary that he should trouble them with any lengthened observations . He Bad hoped that Mr . Be ? R 8 and his friends would have been induced to make this alteration -without forcing upon him ( Mr . Lovett ) the necessity of moving an amendment , because he feared that it would end in forming the Conference into three paxt es , instead of two—( bear , hear , and no no ) Two parties already existed ; and instead of having only the violence and folly on one side , and the -wisdom and justice on the other , they would now be constrained to form three parties instead of two , and he feared that the line of demarcation between the
middle sad the working classes would be widened , and that the sptation in favour of equal representation wontd be prolonged , in consequence ef the policy which their friends had thought fit to adopt—( hear , hear . ) He thought that course was merely adding to the prejudices of the middle classes—( hear , hear )—and he doubled very much whether they would obtain any great accession of that class by this movement—( hear , beax . ) What they eugBt to seek for was , the spirit and enthusiasm of the working classes , combined with the wisdom and moderation of the electoral body—( hear , hear . ) They were bound in jnstiee to the great mass of the people who had taken np the qnestion for so many years , not to sacrifice the principle for which they were contending—( bear , Hear , and cheers . )
Mr . O'Connor in seconding the amendment , said that if he thought its adoption would divide the Conference into three parties instead of two , he should not have snpported it—( hear , hear . ) BatBo far from having that effect , be believed it would resolve the two parties into one strong party , determined to go for principle , and another weak party opposed to all principle—¦ cheers . ) If , too , the amendment bad gone to make any alteration in the principles of the Charter , he would not have snpported it , but the construction which be pnt upon it was , that it merely went to discuss the details , and consequently he gave it his moBt cordial consent —( hear . ) Bnt let the Conference look at the position in which they would place the people if they sanctioned the original motion . When the ;
had consolidated all their movements , when all their machinery was perfected , before whom did they go to get the Charter recognised as part of the constitution , if he might so call it ? In 1839 . in 1840 , in 1841 , and in 1842 , they went to the House of Commens . For what ? Praying that the document entitled the People ' s Charter should be the law ef land—( loud cries of bear , hear . ) Now , were they going to be so inconsistent as to go to the House of Commons in 1843 . and to say— " Whereas in 1839 . 1840 , 1841 , and 1842 , we prayed your Honotutable House to enact the Charter , approved by three millions and a half of the people , we now pray that a mass of mystifications , which would take four hours to read through , be substituted in its stead" —( hear , hear , hear , and laughter . )
Why , he th&nght the House of Commons would be placed in something like the position of the priest in Kildara A great number of persons went to him , one praying him to give them one sort of weather , another another sort , and another wanted a different kind stilL *• O ! iBaid the priest ) go away with you , and agree among yourselves what sort of weather you will have , and , when you are unasamoia , be sure that 1 shall agree with yon "—( laughter and cheeis ) . So it would be with the House of Commons . When the people were unanimous in demanding their rights , the House of Commons we > uld be unanimous in conceding them —( cheers ) . Were the Conference going to throw overboard the people of Ireland whom they had invited to join this Agitation ?—thear , hear . ) Here they were going to say to the House of Commons , and to judges and juries— " Well done , ye good and faithful servants—ye have punished these men whom ye have imprisoned and transported " , righteously , fer they have
confessed their error , they acknowledge themselves to have been in the % rons , and they now ask fora different thing nnd » a different name "—( bear , hear . ) The Complete Suffrage Association said that their bill was the same in principle aa the Charter . Then why did they not come forward , and nipport the Charter ?—( hear , hear . ) It Beemed ttiatsjfijliough the Association wereasbanwd of the name oftfce Charter , they were not ashamed to adopt its principles , in erder to get their own measure carried—icheen . ) It » a « for the Conference to say -whether they would surrender their principles to the prejudice of a few , and throw overbeard a document which had become a part of every man's political creed in the country—( cheers . ) They might as well attempt to stop the rolling stream of the ocean as to rtop the agitation for the Charter under the name of the Charter—icheers . ) He did not wish to dragoon them inte the support of the amendment , bnt it irsM rendered necessary by the motion made by Mr . BsggB—( baai , bear . )

Dr . Ritchie , of Edinburgh , should support the original * motion . He could see a great difference between Chartists and the CharteristE—( laughter ) What was this meeting ? Was it a Radical one ? No . Was it a Whig one ? As little . It was as much a Tory meeting as either of the other two— ^ laughter ) He maintained that it was a Complete Suffrage meeting and not a meeting of any party , It was a meeting based on the principle of sending parties " to the tomb of all the Gapulets . " If it was said—take the Charter , he told them he could not swallow it—( laughter . ) Why ? He objected to the name of it—( " Oh , pb . " l He objected to it as the symbol of a party , and he would have objected to it equally if it had emanated
from the Complete Suffrage party . He could : not expect this movement to go on if they adopted the Charter as the basis of the discussion . ^ ( hisses . ) ' , He denied that the document which had been drawn up was the People ' s Chaiter—( " oh , oh ' );—but it was- the Charter of a great number , and it might be « f tbe wisest number for what he knew—( laughter , and cries of " question . ") The course he should take would be to accept good principles , even from a Tory ; and on the same grounds he would extract all that was valuable from the bill of the Association , the Charter , or any other document ; he would throw them into a crucible , and place a good fire under them , and be would bring out a metal fit for their use and for the people at large—( laughter . )
Mr . HETHERIK 6 TON , of London , should support tbe amendment , notwithstanding the objections which had fallen from Dr . Ritchie , which he thought were extremely sophistical— ( hear . ) He ( Mr . H . ) was 6 trongly in favour of the Charter , and those on bis aide of the question had tbe consolation to know , that the eloquent writer of the Nonoonformist when speakin * of the great Rood sense displayed in the People ' s Charter , admitted that the prejudice against that document was an unworthy one—( hear , hear ) . When they had a gentlemen like Dr . Miall compelled to admit this , and when their Chairman himself acknowledged the truth of the principles enun-iated , were the Conference to pander to these prejudices by abandoning the name of the Charter ? iloud cries of no , no ) . At the former
Conference , the justice of the principles contained in the People ' s Charter weitc verified , and why were they to be called upon to give np tbe details by which those principles were to be carried into effect ?—( hear , hear . ) He thonght that such a course would be stuJtifying the Chartist body , and . therefore , they ought not to listen to any such arguments as those which were urged by the Complete Suffrage Association , a > . less they wonld show that there was that in the Charter which would not enable them to carry out those principles—( hear , hear . ) The advocates of the Charter did not seek to thrnst that document down the throats of the Association , as had been insinuated . They only asked that it should be the boBis ot discussion— ( hear , hear ) If there was
anything omitted in tbe document , let it be Inserted , and if there was anv thing that conld be conmdered of an objectionable character , let it be cnanged—( hear . ) What were they called upon to do by the Assbclntion ? To support a document about which tbey knew nothing , and which might not be so effective far the purposo as the Charter—( hear . hear ) . On tbe other hand , they had a document drawn up in such plain and simple language that a child might comprehend it —( hear , hear ) . They bad got rid of a bushel of whereasea and aforesaids . and all such rubbish as that , and they bad given to the country a model of P irliamentact-making— ( hear , hear ) . Under these circumstances he should most cordially support the amendment—( hear , hear ) .
Mr . Smith , of Liverpool , ca'led upon the Conference to support the Charter , though he admitted that there was much that was excellent in the bill of the Complete Suffrage Association . ' The Rev . T . Spencer saw no reason why they should be bound to a particular document , because it happened to have been introduced five years ago—( bear , hear ) . He wished that every delegate had read another document , which he would call the " People ' s Bill of Rights , " and he thought they would find it an improvement upon the Charter , ; more liberal , more generous , more for the people ' s good ,, and more for the protection of iheir rights , than the Charter—( hear , hear , and , no noY . . He contended that they had as much right to a name as any
body else —( hear , hear ) . It was said that there was »• prejudice on the part of the association in favour of a name—( hear , hear ) . He certainly did not sen why any person should be compelled to call himself a Chartist —( hear , hear , hear ) . He was in favour of complete Suffrage , and he would do his utmost to carry out the details necessary for its enactment , but he objected to a body of men coming there and saying , that they should not consider the principle under any other name than the People ' s Charter . ( Hear , hear , and hisBes . ) He wan present at the last Conference , and the members of the Complete Suffrage Association conceded almost every thing to the advocates of the Charter which could be asked of them , but nothing was conceded in return .
( Cries of " No , no . ") He repeated the truth of the assertion . But did they repent what they had done ? No . They thought that what they had done wa # ri « Hfc- Ho trnatpd that bo hid theinteroaiof H >« - * nfUing classes at heart as much as any man living , and hiB hope for them in this movement was the union of their own body with the electoral body ; the infusion of fresh energy , fresh life , and fresh blood from another clacs—( choers . ) 'Let the working classes have their own fiVld . He thought the members of the Complete Suffrage Association could render thra much service in working separately but if they remained one party , and that a divided one , the effect of tbe new movement would he lost for ever . —( hear , hear , and no , no ) He had
heard the Bill to which so many allusions had br « n made , read over , accompanied with the explanation of the accomplished barrister who had drawn it up , and he was surprised at the opinion expressed by one gentleman who advocated the Charter who could not have seen much of the Bill ; lhat it was bad in the preamble and in its clauses—( hear , hear , from Mr . O'ConnoT ) . He ( Mr . Spencer ) had brought his common-sense to bear in judging of the bill ; and h- must say that he did not think the opinion he had alluded to , was a correct one . He had read the Charter , too . He had heard it explained , and if gentlemen would only consent to have the bill of the Association , which had been drawn up with great care and at a great expense , and if they
would consent to have it discussed , then , at the end they would be able to say whether they thought the b ll or the Charter the most valuable—( hear , hear , hear ) . He could not understand wh y it was contended that the Charter should be the basis of dis cussion . Every body knew what the Charter was . but every body did not know what the bill of the Com plete Suffrage Association was —( hear , hear ) . If they condemned a measure about which they knew nothing , he would ask whether they would not be blindly following blind leaders , and whether , they would not be voting in the dark 1—( hear , hear , and disapprobation ) . If the Conference were determined to act in this way , be felt bound as an Englishman , and claiming a right to think and act for himself , to
say that rather than he would give up bis indepen dence , he should henceforward recommend that there should be two parties , and that they should carry on their Conference under different ; names —( hear , bear , and disapprobation ) . It ought to be borne in mind that the Charter was only an outline of the proposed bill , and that it wanted filling up . On the other hand , the bill had been filled up with very great care , and if adopted , it wonld be the glory of the land —( hear , hear , and no , no ) . Why not allow the members of the Association the same privilege which the advocates of the Charter demanded for themselves 1—( hear , hear ) . If it was to be said— " you must come to us firet , " he must ? ay no —( hisses ) . As a clergyman of the church of England , he could converse with a dissenter on the principles of Christianity , without any sacrifice of his own convictions , but if the dissen
ter asked him to torn to bis way of thinking , he would not do so . -Neither on the other hand wonld he ask the dissenter to come to him . He wanted liberality in religion as well as everything else , and he rejoiced to Bay that with respect to the brethren in the Church , there was a disposition , when they saw a man determined to think for himself , to allow him to do so . He wanted to lower the taxes , but he would do it in a fair way . He wanted to reform the Church , but he wished to do it in accordance with scriptural reason . He wished to extend the elective franchise , asd put every man in possession of his civil rights , but he sought to do that by peaceable and legitimate means , and he would bo no party to any thing that could lead to disorder or to destruo . tion of the national institutions—( hissing and much confusion ) . He did not mean to say —( Renewed hissing ) .
A Delegate hoped that Mr . Spencer would confine himself to the question , and not insult the Conference by Buch insinuations —( cheers , and cries of order ) . The Chairman believed that Mr . Spencer had keen misunderstood—( hear , hear ) . Mr . Spencer was only wishing to Bhow the Conference that the Six Points might he held by different parties , and he had no wish whatever to offend the feelings of any delegate —( hear , hear ) . He was not unaware that parties had been accused of improper coaduct , but he was not there to repeat the charge—( hear , hear ) . It was sufficient for him if such a party had seen his error , and had '' repented of it . He would only say , in conclusion , that he took his stand on the principle he had laid down , and he would not be one of those who would go for the Charter and nothing but the Charter- ' ( hear , hear , and hissing ) .
Mr . Wra , of Oldham , differed entirely with the gentleman who bad last addressed them . There were two documents before the Conference , and the question was , -which of them should have the priority , as forming the basis of the discussion . Now , if the council , calling this Conference together , considered that they were the parties who were to draw np a bill for the consideration of the Conference , why then they would be the mere nominees of the council —( hear , hear . ) But they did not come there as the nominees of any party , but to take principle for their guide , which they knew the document , the People ' s Charter , to contain , and to go to

work in a proper manner . He thought that Mr . Snencer had furnished a very good argument in favour of the priority of the Charter . He said that the bill of the Association was filled up , but that the Charter was only an outline . Well , then , that was a very good argument why the Charter should come under discussion , in the first instance , so that they might introduce such provisions and amendments as would make it a perfect document —( hear , hear , ) Much had been said about a name . He snpported the Charter , because it recognised the rights of the people , and therefore they called it the "People's Chaiter—( hear , hear . ) Mr . R . StJHMERa , Kirkcudbright , begged to say that his attachment was in favour of the Chatter ;
but he did not agree with those who contended for the Charter and no other document—( hear , hear , and hisses ) . He thought the Council of the Complete Suffrage Association were justified in preparing a new bill , and he considered ifc was the duty of the Conference to enter into a ca » dtd examination of it , as well as of all other bills—( hear , hear . ) It should be borne in mind that the document called the " People ' s Charter" had never been presented to any meeting like that—( hear , hear . ) It was true that it had been adopted by the great mass of the country , in consequence of the grandeur and nobleness of its principles , rather than from
any knowledge of its details' —( hear , hear , and leud cheering . ) The question was , how far they could enter into a discussion of the bills . He thought that neither of them should ba » e the priority . Some delegates argued for priority in'favour of the Charter , because it was tho oldest . Now , he brfieved a bill had been introduced by Major Cart wright , which was older than either of the documents before the Conference , and , therefore , he thought there was no weight in the argument that had I een ureed . He had an amendment to propose which he thought would get rid of the difficulty experienced . It
was" That neithpr of the bills be exclusively made the basis of discussion , buf that both bills , and all other bills of a similar description be at the disposal of the Conference , and laid on the table , and that parties be appointed to read and defend the correlative clauses of these bills , and the clanses to be read seriatim and submitted to tho meeting . " Mr . W . Bbodik , of Aidree , supported the amendment , and in doing so , he thought that both bills should be taken together . A man had no right to pay that the Charter Bhould be taken first , because he had suffered from Ub advocacy —( hear ) .
Mr . Robeiits , of Bath , begged to ask whether if it had been thought that the bill of the Complete Suffrage Association was to be the basis of discussion , a single Chartist would have been present at the Conference 1—( hear , hear ) . Dr . Ritchie had told them that ho could not swallow the Charter . What the Doctor ' s swallow might be , he ( Mr . Roberts ) could not tell , but it seemed rattier odd , that whilst be could Hot swallow a small document which would go through the penny-post , he could bolt a document Which filled forty pages of print—( hear , hear , and laughter ) . He ( Mr . Roberts ) had seen the bill , and , as compared with tha Charter , it was not to be named in the same breath—( hear , hear ) . He pledged himself , as a gentleman and a lawyer , that it was not to be compared with the Charter for legal accuracy ; and , more than that , he pledged himself to the truth of this statement , that onehalf of the clauses were entirely inapplicable to the purpose—( hear , hear ) .
Dr . Ritchie rose to order—( hisses ) . He thought that Mr . Roberts was entering upon the criticism of a bill which was not before the Conference —( cries of " it is before us" ) . Mr . Pajiry wished to ask the Secretary whether the bill was not before the Conference ! Tho Secretary answered in the negative . Mr . Robebts begged to remind the Conference that Mr . O'Connor had offered to withdraw his proposition if Mr . . Beggs would withdraw his ; and , had the latter complied , neither of the bills would have taken precedence , and the Executive Committee could then have determined to which priority should bo ariven—( hear , hear ) . He was sorry that
this discussion should have arisen . He had hoped that they could have worked side by side . But it seemed he was mistaken . The members of the Complete Suffrago Association might make the angustean boast of the Roman Emperor , that he found Rome of brick and left it of marble ; but after they had found the Charter a mass of crude legislation , with n ' thing but . simplicity to distinguish it , with nothing but principle to support it , and with nothing but the peop ' e ' s valour to carry it , he hoped they would follow out the example of the Roman Emperor , who , although he left the edifice of marble , did not change the name under which the glories of tbe eternal city had been gained—( hear , hear , and cheers . 1
Tho Rev . P . Brewster supported the original motion , and proposed the following amendment : — " That the Bill which thia Council is met to consider and discuss , being founded on the People ' s Charter , and actually embracing its groat principles , u in not expedient and not necessary to discuss any other document ? , excepting in connection with the Bill , until we have disposed of the Bill itself submitted to our consideration . " Mr . Brewsteh approved of the conduct of the Council in drawing up the Bill , and thought that the Conference wore bound , in fairness , to consider its provisions .
Mr . Johnson , of Bristol , seconded the amendment , and in doing so , he said he was not prepared to vote against the Bill of the Complete Suffrage Association , until heknew the nature of its provisions . He had hoped that the speeches of Mr O'Connor and Mr . Lovett would have offered something tangible to discuBs ; instead of which they had been wasting their time in discussing mere trifles , by leaving out everything that was valuable in principle—( hear , hear , ami laughter ) . Mt . Davjs , of Hawick , suggested that the question of priority should be referred to the Executive Committee . Mr . Allbright moved that neither of the documents take precedence . The proposition was not seconded .
Mr . Williams , of Sunderland , hoped that some common ground would be taken , and thought that the amendment of Mr . Summers inoluded everything . Mr . P . O'HiGGiNS , of Dublin , was certainly of opinion that the proposition brought forward by Mr . BeggB , was one of the most extraordinary he had ever heard of . What was it ? [ It was that a bill of which hey had never before he ^ trd , should form the basis of discussion ! and he would appeal to any member of the Conference whether they ever heard of such a proposition before—( loud cries of " No , no ") . What he wished Mr . Beggs to have done was , to have brought forward the Charter in one hand , and the bill in the other , and that they should both form tho basis of discussion—( hear , hear , and loud cheers ) .
. . Rev . Mr . Miall , supported the original motion , claiming honesty of intention for the members of the Complete Suffrage Association , and contended that the struggle carrying on by the advocates of the Charter was not for the Bake of principle , but merely for the sake of precedence , which amounted to nothing . Mr . Macpherson , of Ipswich , spoke in favour of the amendment . Rev . Mr . L , EESON , of Frome , supported the original motion , and amidst much hissing , said that if they adopted the Charter as the basis of discussion , instead of the bill , the movement would be damned . It being now one o ' clock , the Conference adjourned to three o ' clock .
AFTERNOON AND EVENING SITTING . The Conference re-assembled at three o'clock . Mr . J . Wilson , of Aberdeen , supported the original motion . Dr . Wade called upon the Conference to support the amendment . In his opinion it was not the name of the Char er to which the middle classes whom the Comnlete Suffrage party wished to conciliate , objected , but the principles it contained —( loud cries of " hear , hear ") . He believed that if the advocates of the Charter consented to change the same of the document , that the very next day the members of the Association would contrive some oher loop-hole out of which to escape- ( hear , hear ) .
Dr . Gloyer , of Edinburgh , thought the Conference ought to take for its text the Six Great Points , and that delegates should be at liberty to advocate either the Charter , or any other document which recognised them—( hear , hear ) . Mr . Jas . Dixon , of Northwich , was decidedly in favour of Mr . Lovett ' s amendment . He strongly recommended them to go to the vote , for he was Bick and tired of the proceedings , and he was afraid he should have a very bad account to give hia constituents—( laughter ) . Mr . Vickers , of Belper , advocated the amendment . Mr . Macdonald , of Aberdeen , supported the amendment , and he did so , not on account of the antiquity of the Charter , but from principle .
Mr . Vining , of Reading , recommended a union with the ex-members of the Association , aa he thought that the adoption of any other course would be fatal—( hear , hear , and no , do ) . Mr . J . H . Pakby , of London , should support the amendment proposed by Mr . Lovett , and he did so on the ground that the working clashes were attached to the Charter , from strong , abiding , aud natural reasons—( hear , hear . ) It was not the name of Charter which those of the middle classes whom the members of the Association desired to conciliate
objected to , but its principles—( hear , hear . ) They had no right to yield to the paltry prejudice of the middle classes , against the just demands of the People— ( cheers . ) Why , what had their respected chairman himself said , with regard to this I He had said that all the prejudices which existed against the Charter were unworthy and unfounded , and that the soundest basis on which a radical reform could rest , was the Charter—( loud cfie 9 of " hear , bear , " and cheers . ) He 'Mr . Parry ) belonged to the middle classes . He mixed much among them

and he was bound to admit that there existed on their parts a profound indifference to political principles —( hear , hear . ) But at the same time he was bound to state this ; fact , ( and he hoped the members of the Complete Suffrage Association would bear it in mind , ) that those of the middle class with whom he bad mixed , were in the habit of saying to him , <{ Oh 1 we 'can easily understand why you support the Charter , because you are a Chartist . We oppose ' it because we think the principles it advocates are dangerous , but we protest against those princi ples beiug thrust down our throats under another ^ name , " —( loud and continued cheers . ) That was a growing feeling among the middle classes , and he would ask the council whether ' thev thouaht it
likely that their advocacy of the Six Points of the Charter would enlist the co- operation of the middle classes , ] because they supported them under another name 1-r- ( loud cries of " hear , hear . ";) He believed the Association would defeat its own object , and why ? JBecanse they would not have honesty to recommend them , —( hear , hear . ) Mr . Miall had said , " Take the bill . " If Mr . Miall was the minister of a despotic government , and :, that government w 6 ald give them the bill to-morrow * he would take it ,-j- ( hear , hear . ) But the government would not give them the bill , and therefore , the question for the Conference was , how were they to force it upon tho attention of the government ?—( hear , hear . ) How couk' this be done 1 By union , —( hear , hear . ) Who carried the Reform Bill « Not the middle classes alone , but they and the working classes united , and if such an union existed now as
prevailed then , they wonld exhibit a moral power and a strength of demand , which neither Sir Robert Peel or | any other minister could resist , —( cheera . ) They had heard something of the leaders in this movement deceiving the people . He would not enter into siny question of that character , but if they wanted to destroy the power of those leaders 1 t them jdo complete justice to the peopfe , and then the people , appreciating their own rights , and knowing how to maintain them , would be too independent to be ledjby any man , except so far as his honesty and consistency gave him a claim to their confidence . ( Hear , hear . ) For the reasons he had stated , he should support the amendment , and he called upon the Conference not to stultify itself , by surrendering the glorious principles of the Charter to paltry prejudice , add to a wretched and temporizing expediency ( loud cheera . )
Mr . Li IIeyworth , of Liverpool , would support t ^ e bill , because both it and the Charter were the same in principle . He considered that the Charter had been injured by those who called themselves the leaders of the people . ( Shouts of " No , no , " and much hissing . ) He had a right to maintain this opinion , and ; if the reporters would only report what he said it should go from one end of the kingdom to the other ( great confusion . ) When he joined the Complete Suffrage movement , he was determined that Mr . SHirge 8 honld be his leader . He had csbme from Liverpool jto declare his opinions , and if , they would npt allow him to declare them , he denounced them as the most brrant tyrants on the face of the earth ; ( hisses ) aiid although they might call themselves
Chartists , tVey would be the most despotic tyrants that over jdisgraced human nature ( great hi-sing . ) He loved to be identified with the Charter , but he never would be identified with its leaders ( tremendous hissing , ) Aye , let them hear him if they dare . ( Renewed '{ confusion , and an exclamation of " Put him out . " ; Someone Baid , " put him out . " { " Order , order . ") He conld understand them . It touched their feelings . ( Hisses . ) It came home to them . ( Hisses . ) But they should hear him , and the conntry should ! hear him from Land ' s End to John O'Groats . \ ( Laughter . ) He would not be identified with the leaders of the Charter , when he had seen with his own eyes and had heard with his own ears language which never ought to have come out of the mouth of any man . ( Shouts of " Name , name . " ) He would I mention the circumstances . ('' Name , name . ") If they wanted to hear truth , let them
listen to wljat he said . ( Cries of ' * Hear him , he ' s bo amusingi" ) A Delegate . —Is the whole Conference to be insulted by such a man as this \ ( " Chair , chair , "' " Order , orider . ") The Chairman . —Hear . A Delegate . —Hear , hear . Mr . Heyworth conceived that the object j > f this Conference iwas to call over the working men to those leadets who would carry them on in a holv , righteous , and peaceable agitation , which would secure the people their just right ? . They would not lead them On to bloodshed , to massacre , to . anarchy , and to plupder , —( great hissing . ) They would not do this , neither did he say that anybody else had done it . —( much hissing . ) If any body had done so , they were guilty , and not him . —fgreat disorder ) Mr . Roberts . —You said you had both seen and heard of such things , and now you deny it , —( shame , shame . ) i
Mr . Heyworth . —Yes , and I have seen them , — ( Dame , name . ) Mr . Jowcii . delegate from Li » - < 5 » -pool , begged to inform the | Confjerence that Mr . Hey worth was not the representative of Liverpool , —( hear ,: hear . ) Mr HeyWorth—No : I am the representative of Reading . Mr . Hobson , of Leeds . —I move that Mr . Heyworth be allowed a quarter of an hour longer , — ( hear , hear . )] He is a sample of hia elas 3 , and I hope the Conference will have the benefit of the specimen , —( hear , hear . ) A Delegate seconded the propbsition , and it was carried , but Mr . Heyworth did not avail himself of the privilege j ; and having expressed a hope that the Charter would succeed , he retired amidst hisses , groans , and every species of disapprobatiQtt .
Mr . Skelton , of Westminster ; Mr . Rowland , of Dundee ; Mri Beesley . of Blackburn ; and Mr Jones , of Liverpool , ! generally addressed the Conference in support of Mr . Lovett ' s amendment . Mr . Beggs , the mover of the original resolution , replied to the ; rariou 9 arguments addressed in support of the amendment , expressing his regret at being compelled to ( differ from those for whom he had the highest respect , aud stating his intention to press the motion to >» division . The CHAiBiiiH here announced that , as according to the rules , he had a vote , independent of his casting vote , he should reoord his opinion in favour of the original resolution . The Chairman then put the amendment moved by Mr . Brewstei" , for which only two hands were held up . The next amendment put was that of Mr . Sumners , forj which probably twenty hands appeared . Both these amendments , therefore , were lost . I
The Chairman next put the amendment moved by Mr . LoveU , which was carried by a large ^ majority and amidst great cheering . The original motion was then put and of course negatived in a similar
manner . ; Mr . Hobson moved that the votes in favour of the original motion and the amendment , should be recorded . j : A Delegate ; seconded the motion and it was agreed to . j The result was as follows : — For thejoriginal motion 94 For the amendment 193 Majority for the amendment 99 Fourteen of the Delegates remained neutral ,-and 73 were absent ! , on their names being called . The announcement w * s received in silence .
Having made the format announcement that the amendment was carried , Mr . Sturee siid the time for adjournment had arrived , and it became bia duty , while he gave credit t « the parties who hod manifested so much attachment to that very excellent document , the People ' s Charter , for having conducted their business in a manner | tbat did them credit , and while he hoped that credit would be given to him for sincerely wishing to bring the principles of thai Charter tat * operation—to say that be thought he should not best Serve their cause by continuing to occupy tbat chair after to-night . He trusted that whatever little warmth of jtemper might have been manifested on either side in the heat of debate would oe now forgotten , and that ; the parties , if they could not agree to work together , ( would work harmoniously in parallel lines . They , the majority , who had determined for the
Charter , would meet to-morrow morning in that place , aud go on with their business , while he and those who thought with him would meet in some other place , to prosecute their business In their own way . As they were all aiming at one and the same end , he trusted they would be no hindrance to each other . In this statement of the purpose of his party to withdraw from all further connection with the ] Conference , he was supported by the Rev . Mr . Spencer . The announcement seemed to excite much surprise , anil produced a peat sensation . Mr . Sturge having left the chair it was taken by the Rev . Mr . Spencer , and a vote of thanks to Mr . Sturge for bis patient and impartial discbarge of the duties of the chair up to the | present time , was proposed by Mr . Lovett , and seconded by Mr . O'Connor . On its being put in the affirmative it was received with conaidarable cheering , and many bands were held up—the negative was not called for . The Conference then adjourned .
Prior to the dispersion of the delegates from the room , Mr . Pierce , from Newport , Isle of Wi ^ ht , a genuine specimen of the old school ot " Friends" Quakers , aa they are mostly called , came forward , and mounting on a form , disclaimed the doctrine of Messrs . Sturge and Spencer , tbat the minority of 93 were to meet next morning in the Complete Sam-age rooms , separate from the Conference . He bad come from the Isle of Wight—he had been sent to the Conference—he had voted for the motion ; but he considered the majority the Conference , and should continue with them—( hear , hear , and cheers ) . Mr . Sturge , the Rev . T . Spencer , and other memberB of the Council , adjourned to the roomB of the Association , in Waterloo street , for the purpose of considering the provisions of their Bill .
In the evening of Wednesday , a large tea party took place in the ! Hall of Science to celebrate the liberation of Mri Mason . Mr . O'Connor was present , and addressed , the meeting in a speech of considerable length , which was listened to ] with deep attention , and at the close was followed by great applaus * .

For Oatmeal an improvement fa feeling may be noted , but nona in value could be realised . The supplies from Ireland continaeonj very liberal scale ; those of British produce dsewhere and from the interior are only to a moderate amount . There was very little passing at jiir market this morning , and only a slender attendance of buyers . No variation can be made in the qaotation of any article , and the sales made were altogether for present use .
London Corn Exchange , Monday , Jan . 2 . - Since this day se ' nnight the arrivals of EngM Wheat up to our market have been on a very limited scale ; and fresh up to-day * an unusually small sup . ply of that article came to hand from Essex , Saffiilt , and Kent .
