Mr . Baird ' s Church , St .

Of course the Provost was called to the chair , and the Chartists , in courtesy , offered no
opposition , reserving their upright and manly decision to a more important occasion . The business of the meeting was opened by the Rev . Mr . Kennedy proposing the first resolution , to the effect that prudent , active , and vigorous measures be taken to secure to the people a fall , fair , and free representotiwn in - tbe . Commons ' House of Parliament . The speaker laboured long and hard to convince the meeting that this was the soul of the Chnrtw , the only difference , in his estimation , being that it wanted the name ; but the Chartists , ever awake to this species of cajolery , told him several times that " it would not do , Mr . Kennedy ; that is ' not our Charter ; we will not be satisfied with less than the six points . ' The resolution was seconded by the Rev . Mr . Cairns , one of the delegates to the late Corn
Law Conference in London ; when lo ! to the astonishment of all present , the Rev . Patrick Brewater came forward , and told Mr .

Roars of laughter followed this expression , with cries of "Yes , yes . " Brewster pleaded his own cause nobly , reading a very severe and satca * tic tassonto his brethren the clergy , and the middle-class men in particular , and concluded his able speech by moving , as an amendment "the Charter , tho whole Charter , and nothing but the Charter , " as our friend Mr . O'Connor has said ; " snout , bristles , and al . " The workiDg men were rather taken by surprise , as they had an amendment the same in substance as Brewster ' s ; but seeing that he was in the right track they gave way , and supported him . A Mr . Osborno seconded the amendment The
Chairman put them to the vate , when a forest of blistered hands were held up for tbe amendment , and 1 am within the truth when I state that only forty were held up for the original motion . The Chairman declared the amendment carried by a large majority , when three cheers were given for the Charter , three for the exiled patriots . Frost , Williams , and Jones , and last , but not least , three for the giant patriot . Feargna O'Connor . The working men of Paisley have nobly done their duty on the present occasion ; after suffering the extreme ef destitution for the last nine months , tlieir devotion to the Charter of their liberty , amid all their serious calculations and dreary forebodings , really to say the least of it , redounds to their honour , and deserves the thanks of tbe imperial Chartists throughout the empire .
