The Dlacard calling the meeting also challenged the

That this meeting also call upon their fellow-countrymen throngbout Great Briiain to unite with them to claim and seifcd upon theit political rights , especially as they have witnessed that even the Ministers 01 religion , though they admitted laymen and permitted them to speak , excluded the Chartist preachers , and would not hear their advocates whom the people themselves have elected for the especial purpose of pleading their cause and for their interests . " The motion was seconded by Mr .

      M'Kettrick and carried unanimously . Mr . Gill moved the second resolution , " That it is the opinion of this meeting , that the present constituency cannot , however it may be inclined , repeal the Corn Laws , and that nothing but an extension of the suffrage , as defined in the People's Charter , can give Englishmen cheap food , and constant employment with remunerating wages , protection from the aggression a and injuries of the rich , or that independence whioh is the glory and safety of every man that is born free , or that is iu possession of a rational liberty .
