discussion took place upon the resolution ; some maintained it was high time that "Leeds took a stand against the attempte that have been and ate now making to cause a split amongst the Chartist ranks , others called upon the Chartists to take no partJn quarrels that arise Iwtwixt leaders , but' follow principle , while all united in calling for out rapport to the Executive , and denouncing all attempt * that had for their ortfeet the unseating of that body ; for said one speaker , if that body is upact , the whole Chartist body would be split up immediately .
