      Mr . Tiiomj ^ om , M . l \ , sani , he hau 311 st come 20 'J miies twin the north of England to Uo present at their jm-etM . s . ( Ohcciv . ) Aai he should trafei the sa : n « dist ; iiK' « back to-morrowand bs employed every Any in tlw week in advancing the cause wiiicli they had ? . U so much at heart . The hon . geutteuiin tfws expUiucd tlm proceedings at the MMHshesier Gonfci encc * , and said tli . it if the most eatMavtory- . issurauees had not been gifentohim oa the subject of the rate-paying clauses , he shotiM hate felt it Uis « uty 10 picas the lunentftnent of TvfticU he fcad givea notice at the meeting which was held subsequently to the conference . There ¦ were new words introduced into tho resolution at 3 dauchest « r lo wkicli they -were not accustomed

      anlirkichho di < i liofciike , nnd he could not out - coigr-ttulate the sagacity of the metropolis in lending a deputation tliere , for otherwise the rceolu ions ' might have pas-ed in silence , and no expJ . iDations offered or s »? urancea given as to the meaning . He believed , howevor , that they coTered tho same ground as the National and Pas-Jiamstifary lleform Association , and tho onlj < i » nger to he apprehended was lest some person shojld come forward wiiii a larger scheme , which , he , however , for one , would \ iew without apprehension . He believed that there were many in that room who desired tu see a larger measure of reform —fcactrs)—and he hoped that no public meeting would ever tike placa in this country where tLafc feeling would nut be manifested . ( Cheers . ) But they must not only look for what tens best , but what was most practicable .

      Be hoped that the frequent meetings of the cabinet meant something ; but it mattered little what tbi-y meant if they were united amongst themselves , and did their duty out of doors . ( Clieees . ) "Whatever they did , they must go unitedly before the government and the parliament . ( Hear . ) There was talk , of a municipal franchise , an educational franchise , ami a household franchise ; but probably L > iriT John Ilu = se 51 did not Know what sufir . igo he would adopt , and was desirous of knowbig what tLe people really desired . It was therefore of importance that they should agree upon somo minimum of reform ( Hear , hear . ) Tiie people of the nortii were with them , and though he didjiot know that the London deputation were uuirersa'Jy acceptable there , because they might havegone ' a little farther lhan the people in the north wished , they still were ready to go iiandin- ' i ; inii with the National Reform Association .

      ( Ilear , hear . ) This was very encouraging . They were told that there was reaction , nnd that liberty had been put down ia France , It v ? as true that liberty had keen temporarily abolished in France , but the very man who committed that foul deed cloakoil liis treason to the constitution under the flag of universal suffrage . ( Hear , hear . ) He had Leen lately in Paris , and he found no re-action hi the minds of tho people of France . They were still friends of liberty , and were republican in heart . ; and when they had established that republic , h would not stop there , but would cross tha Pyrenees , and make its way to tho Tiber and the Danube . ( Loud cheers . ) It was tiue that Hungary was struck down , but Kossuth lived .

      For himself ho would never go for a small measure of reform , because it would only leave behind a caase of discontent , lie thought ifc would be letter if the middle class postponed their claims unless the w . rkiug classes obtained the same rights as thtmselvej " , or uulesa they determined , when they Enceewicd themselves to assist their less fortunate countrymen . ( Ilear , hear . ) As it was well known , he advocated the Charts— ( hear hear )—and stood for Southampton on Chartist priucijiles . They as&esl for political rights and franchises because they were good ia themselves , and because there -rc . 13 something more substantial to lie obtained through them . They must not Stop till they possessed a House of Commons which reallv and

      effectually represented the people of this country . ( Cheers . ) Then , aad not tili then , would the in-Etitutions of the country be placed on a permanent 3 n < i enduring foUUdation . when the peoples rights Tverc granted , aud every man had a share in the making of the laws by which te was governed . ( Cheers . ) The meeting then separated .
