Dissenting Ministers who had figured in the late Manchester Conference , to come forward and defend their conduct in excluding the Chartist Ministers , and to show , if they could , that the humbug of Corn Law Repeal was calculated to remove the distress of the people . We hardly need say , that none of the " Reverend" Gentlemen invited made their appearance . At eight o ' clock , Mr . Joseph Marsh was called to the chair . The Chairman having stated the business and read the address from the York Demonstration Committee , which appeared in last week ' s Star , Mr . G . J . Harney was appointed delegate . Mr . Harney proposed the following resolution in a lengthy address , " That this meeting declares tbat it has no confidence in either the
Ministers who composed the Manchester Conference , or in the measures they propose for the relief of the commercial embarrassments of tbe country , or for the relief of the distressed and neglected working classes . That this meeting also call upon their fellow-countrymen throughout Great Britain to unite with them to claim and seizs upon their political rights , especially as they have witnessed that even the Ministers of religion , though they admitted laymen and permitted them to speak , excluded tbe 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 , a 9 defined is the People's Charter , can give Englishmen cheap food , and constant employment with remunerating wages , protection from the aggressions and injuries of the rich , or that independence which is the glory and safety of every man that is born free , or that is in possession of a rational liberty . " Mr . Harrison seconded the resolution , which was unanimously adopted . Thanks being voted to the Chairman , the meeting dissolved .

their son the oomfort he required without troubling the minister ; but he still wishing for the minister ^ attendance , the father went to the residence of the Rev . Gentleman , whom he found , on inquiry , dressing to go out ; the father told his business , bat his reverence stated he could not come then , as he waa just going out to dinner 1 The father remonstrated , j and begged of the minister to come and pray with i his son as the sufferer was dying : he coldly refused , i addJBg he would come to-morrow .
