Mr . Cxeavb caEcorred with Mr . "Mills rhat , alk » wing Mr .

Rider had resigned his sett in tbe- CoaTention becan ^ e ke h » d so confidence in its members . Mr . LoTsrr thought the- coorae pursued by Mr .

Mr .

( Cheers . ) Mr . Sasket seconded ihe ameedment . Mr . Whittle must protest against the language used by Mr . Rider ; it vras e contempt to the chair and good order , and tended to lower the Convention in the eyf s of the country * ( Cheer * . ) The proper course for members of the Convention was to warch its conduct and adhere * o it as loiig as they « oold , and wher th * y h « d n » coLfidence in it to withdraw . He thought tirey onckt to take no farther aotice ol
the matter for the present , but to be ^ Mr . Rider , ior the sake xrf his character and dkwrfioin , for the future to observe the propriety of ucXtoterrupticg the order ol debate bv iDjurious a ^ errions en any Member or the -whole body . ( Cbeersk . ) D * . &v £ tc&b * . said the question nr * - was whether tbewrentxy was to be tacght to lodk on theConTt-nt » a a 3 -rotten and contemptible .

" * Bch a person , " and it was to that the ironical cheers-applied , becassc k implied that there were norsn ^ eriot persocs , fR « ar , hear . ) He thought the whole of Mr . Rider's conduct had been calculated and was inteuced to %£ &g the Convention into contenKt ; and he therefore thought it proper that pome espressiou of opinion > hcrald be givi ? n , alltouga ke wte not ready to vo ^ £ for Mr . Lovett ' s motion . Mr . Ridrr had placed taaiself in the most rldiculoa * aud humiliating position , and if he had not bee « raciUjitinf , he bad insulted the Convention in ?« co ¦ a . manner as to reader him totally unfit to fcitia the Conrencion . ^ Pear , hear . )
Mr . HeTBesrsaTON said be should sapport the motion » f 2 d * . Lovett . He dusented from < l > s view taken by Ms . O'Connor , that the Convention would be damaged by the reurement of Mr . Rider . On the contiar * , he ( Mr . H . ) thought tbe Convention would be feencfitted , tba : it would be stre « glheued in its purpose , and not interrupted in its proceedings by the retirement of Mr . Rider . Mr . Rider had become tbeftool of a party —( hear , hear , )—and if the members' of the Convention were so 3 > a * illacimou $ m spiritTis not to stand up against any individual and sh «^» that the collective pqwer « f tfaeConvention was too strong for a faction * bos , the sooner the * dis » l » sd the better . Mr . Rider yesterday stated that fee had written to his coBstitDrcts that he h » d resigaed , and yet he came tcrdsy and took hre Keat ,
ai > d stated that there were not mure than e ^ rht hoeestmenin the Conventioa . -il Mr . Rider &r-Bered that stitementto be tree henught U > osre felt it a . disgrace to sic in it , io ^ xft&i of being acxi'jus to d < rso . Mr . Cardo -supported th « aaaendiuent of Mr . C ^ 'Conn&r . and differed eEtireJy from the view taken by Mr . Hetb * rinirtOB . He had not seen anything factious ia Mr . Ridpr ' -s conduct' - ^ ie kad not seen anything factious in tbtrCoiiTantioir—aue tho > e who took the trouble to she * that faction did exist iu the Convention were enetziies wthscins- in which they w « re engaged , it ha <} l > e * a ^> reriously decided that the Convention had nothing ? o do with the resignation of T > elegirte * . and tb « . t < he matt-r was entirely between hkc % nd his eotutifaeni .-, and this ought to be li » e oourse uken in the present instance .
Mt . Burxs thoaghi , after a member had resigned , he had bo right to mome iia-seat except sent again by huconsdtuents . Mr . RicHxaos tkoaght they were now going wide of the mark . Mr . Rider-said , he bad acted in error , on . tbe soppositioa that Mr . VVilliaots had been rejected , on which supposition he hai Tfjvcte- ' himself . How stood the tecl ? H id not the Chairman objected to sigm Me Williams ' s rereru , and wa . « Ue doi again to appeal to his Consultant *? If Mr . Riier wu con > isi « nt , as Mr . AViiliams was not a member , Mr . Rider ought not to consider himself so , aad should go again to hi * constituent * . He should support the anginal motion . Mr . CARPExrsa said the affinoing either of the resolution or the amendment wouid ieivt the £ i < cusrion where it > u > od . Mr . Rider was not a member of the ConTenlina . Mt . Sa > k £ T—We cannot receive a resignation .
Mr . CAarESTst wished to a * k vhether the affirming or negativisg a rnolutian would make Mr . Rider a member ol the Contention , he having resigned his seat yesterday . Tbe Chaijuca * - said his opinion was , Jhat Mr . Rider having stated to the Copvenuon that he resigned his seat , did But di * quaiUy him from > itDng , but if he had wrilten a letter to his constituent- - ' , aad resigned his * eaL , he eould not sit here as & Delegate . Tbe motion and the amendment on Mr . Rider was not -ao -mucb the actnai resignation of Mr . Rider as his conduct . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) Mr . Wkittce coc * ide » ed that his writing to hi * cousutaentA , lo *» y he wosild rt *; gn , would noi b ^ a r signition , unless it was accepied by his cons dues U .
Mr . Cuur-E regretted exceedingly the course adopted by Mr . fiitier , i » ecaj : » e , upon " hi » own showing , he had been a greet deal too hasty . What was done yesterday in relation to Mr . Williams : It amounted simply to this , that a ^ ruper inquiry should take plac-, as to whether he had been duly elected or » ot The delay which had taken place , was for the pnrpose of carrying eut the law * of the Convention , which directed that inquiry should be made as to me validity of the elrction . He had jtfreat personal respec ; for Mr . Rider , but he considered that his conduct had placed both himself and the Convention in a humiliating position . Last night he treated the Convention with contempt , and now added iasalt to Lhat contempt , by pointing out the member * as unprincipled persons ; and , if this imputation was allowed to eo lorth . without
reaajk , tory might l » e . pointed at m the streets as unprincipled sconiidreTs . The persons with whom Mr . Rider had associated , had csme within these wails , and in the hearing of the officer * , had denounced them as d d humbegs , and Mr . Rider now made himself their mouth-piece . ( Hear . ) By all the principles ef ihe National Petition and the Charter , he was prepared to stand or lalL Hu cesrse «« as onwarrd oae . Bnt he now saw a deliberate attempt to pit back this movement ( hear , hear)—or to derange every thing connected with it that was * ood and hoiy . Ther e was but one course for the Contention to pursue , unless they were willing to waik about the streets and be pointed at as anprincipled scoundrel * , and be should therefore vote for the motion of Mr . Lovett . ( Cheers . )
Mr . Bc * set said that so far as the conduct ef his colleague went , he could not justify it ; for he thought Mr . Eyan had acted with great want of discretion . Mr . Ryder having written to his constituents , it rested with them te receive his resignation or not ; and until their determination wa . « known , Mr . Rider « ould still continue to be a Men her of the Comvntion . The question under consideration ought to be strictly adhrred to , and he trtLfted that all pe **> a » lkie * would be avoided , as it tended to beget bad feeling . Considering Mr . Rider to be still a Member of the Convention , he thought the matter ooght now to be allowed to drop . He wished to add that Mr . Ryder had just informed hfm thit he had not tendered hi * resignation to his constituent * .
Mr . FaosT said , the question was , whether Mr . Rider did or did not deserve censure— - ( hear , hear )—and he thought very few sen could come to any other determiu&tien than that he did deserve it . ( Hear , hear . ) Was he to resign one moment , and then come the next and insolt the Convention ? He should not vote for the nwolution , iut trusted the matter would be brought beSw » the Conrention in some other way . Mr . Rideb said he eoald not conscientiously
retract a « ngle word of what he bad stated . He had said that he believed t ^ at there were not m jre than eight honest men in die Convention—men of principle . That was his opinion . If other members of the Convention thought they were all honest men , he had no objection te their entertaining that opinion . His ( Mr . Rider ' s ) was not » solitary opinion , for only a fortnight ago a resolution appeared in tbe Xorthcm Star , stating that the meeting at which it was passed had no confidence in theConventJau , except in Mr . "O'Connor and Mr . Harney , and two or three
others-Mr . O'Coxxor said he was not accountable for any resolution in the Xorl / tern Star emanating from a public meeting . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Collins regretted that so much time had -been waited in this discussion . If Mr . Rider was sincere in his cansure , be mut be very unwise to attempt to resume his seat amongst snch individuals % s h . 9 had described . He felt deeply interested in tke success of the great cause , acd no personal consideration should induce him to relax nLj exertiena until the Charter became the law of the land . He concluded by moving the previous qnestion . Mr , Biraxs seconded the amendment .
Mr . Cahpexter said he had been told tVat the Convention had no power to receire the resignation of members , and therefore that the teadend resignation of Mr . Rider went for nothing—that he w * sdll a memier . and that the discussion was not as to his present position , bnt the propriety or impropriety of hu tendering his resignaoon yesterday , and »^™ Ptm f to iwBm « hig seat this morning . He differed frwm every member who had spoken on the snojeet . There never had been a resolution passed by the Conveotws , affiming that it could not reeeire the resignation of members . A resolution © f tftatkad was proposed aad negatived , and that , in conjunction with the fact that the Convention had pwnously received and entered the resignation of manberj , mau be condusi ^ that the Convention SS . 3 ? * 11 ltMlfthe " « ° f »« irii * resignation * , mf ?

not again t&ke his seat , ualest sent bj a constituency . He Bkould bring forward a resolution declaratory of the fact , that Mr . Rider coald not be considered a member of the Convention , He ( Mr . C . ) dm not feel at all grieved at what Mr . Rider had said of the character of the Convention . If anything could hare given him pleasure it would have been that Mr . Rider should not have named him as one of the eight , because he was thoroughly satisfied that there was nothing which would tendntore to raise a man in the estimation of all the honed aad right-thinking menof the country than to be denounced by the men ( aadhe did not mean to nee the word as uersonaliy offensive ts Mr . Rider ) , whose tool he had been made in the Convention . ( Hear . ) It was
his opinion that Mr . Hi ~ er had been made euch instrument , and he said this upon hi ? public acU and uniform conduce and tbe conduct ot the faction to which he belonged . When he taw a knot of individuals doing all they could to bring the Convention into contempt . —< bear , heai \)—when he Baw them acquiescing m measures here , and then denouncing them out of doors , was be not right in denouncing them as endeavouring to bring the Conve&ri'n into contempti Mr . Rider * and those acting with him , had been parties to a plan for the organization of London ^ for the formation ef Charter Associations throughout the Metropolis and ita vicinity . Why did they Toot oppose fc in the Convention ? Why did they become parties to it , and thf n go out of doore
and denounce tfee Convention as unworthy the oonlicence of tbe country , because they had adopted this among osfeer planar ( Hear , hear . ) What was to be tbe end uf this affair ? Wonld the Conwation allow a mas to rengn one day , and then come back again the text for the purpose of raising these peri soual dii-oissious ? He believed this wes one cf the steps which Mr . Rider and bis party were determined to take to mar the plan of the Conventkto , and throw k into confusion , in order that they might go back « s those parts of the country where \ uey had succeeded by their mad appeals to tK ? . passions of the people , and almost goaded them « to act * of violence , and justify tbe course they had taken in denouncing the character and con « l « ct of men a * bosej-t as Mr .

He thought tis conduct of Mr . Rider highly ceu » urable , as weE aa those with whom he ac ; t-d .
Mr . Moore objected tcthe Convention t ^ ttiug up a precedent that it bad « Tight to receive the resignation of any meinbec 1 hat right had oevear yet been aiiumed . Mr . Neesom wo&ld ^ give his vote in favo « r « f Mr . O'Connor ' s axnender ^ mt . Mr . H * r > et feltsk > doubt that Mr . Rider was still a member of the Gobv * ation , for he had Tesigned ypou a muunder » tanding . Mr . O'Coxxos .-believed that the resignation of Mr . Rider was tendered by him after th « -chairman had left the ctadr , and therefore it ccald be considered no resignation at alL ( Hear . ) Mr . Hethdg&hutox—No . Mr . Ri £ er resigned when uis nanvs was called ovei as one of the Agitating coinroittee .
Mr . Harkc ? asked if there was a fiutioa in the Convention , why the pnrtie * formiirtk hai not been brought before them , and proved tose so r ( cheers . ) Fur his part he considered the charge of an existing fiction iii the-Convention perfectly tddiculuus . For the course he had adopted , both in that place and elsewhere , attacks had been made against him in the r / 4 arfer : new » pnper ; Jor those attacks he did aot care , because thi » y were tc tally without foundation . The jjreat-objeition to Mr . Rider was that he wa * the tool of a party or faction . Be did not believe this , and-consivlrred Mr . Rider to be the last mai : to become the tool of any party . He thought tbe time of the Ceirrention ought not to be wasted in tbe « e personal matters , but felt called open to make a
remark or two , as he had been personally attacked . He had been accused of the hetoous crime of putting on the red cap of liberty in Smkfefield . \\ as he the only one who had done so ? Did not Henry Hetheringun put on the cap of liberty once , and was he looked upon a . « the worse raaa for that ? ( Hear , hear , hear . ) He was liked all the better for it , and be hoped to see all the members of ibe Conveation coming down with red caps of liberty . ( Much laughter . ) It was tbe emblem under which mankind had won the most glorious victories over tyranny , aad the most glorious triaauphs ior Democracy . Let the del * gates look at the meetings at which they had been elected , and it would be found that in & majority of ca ^ es the red cap had been exhibited ; aad he thought it looked a * well on a man ' s head as on the head of a pike . Tbe peopls were fit for » uck exhibition * . Why did rhe moral advisers of the people keep awtty " froni soch me- tinf ! . * ? Wbv did they let the incendiaries
hare their full » wing , and not attend tooppose theme They allowed such persons to appear at public meetings / aud afterwards condemned them—nut at public meetings but in the Convention . This was not a place to discnas the SmitLrield meeting . He was wiliing to discais his conduct on that occasion , if be could only have the same body of men a * a jury , and he did not doubt the rrsult . He repudiated the calumnies tiat were levelled indirectly against himjwlf , and one or two other persons , of a desire td briijg about a premature collision with the tuithoririvs , and to involve the countrv in blood and misery . The people were virtuous and honest , d : he wan himieV Virtuous and honest , and if a charge was brought bvfare the people , be would abide the result . He supported the amendtnent of Mr . O'Connor , be-Iknug Mr . Rider as honest a man as any on the Canrention . and that he had not committed such ail insult as to warrant the carrying of the original
. Mr . Mills * aid if Mr . Rider were the man which his friends represented him to be , he would at once come forward and state why he had no confidence in the Convention . If be did that , z new light might be thrown on die subject . Their character and the character of the people of Yorkshire demanded thi * explanation . Mr . Lovett replied . He would leave all the talk of daggers , and all the swagger of persons who decorated themselves with the cap of liberty , where it ought to be lefr . The introduction of such sobjecta was unworthy of the Convention . ( Hear , hear . ) The conduct of Mr . Rider was such as that could not be overlooked . What did he do in reMgnicg yesterday ? He insulted the Convention , aad then
today be seek * to reinstate himself in the Convention , and while doing « o , reiterates the same insult . — ( Hear , hear . ) Yesterday he said they were unworthy of confidence , aiid by way of compliment to himsefr this morning for r =-sumiag bis seat , ae says theo were * 11 dishonert . ( Hear , hear , and no . ) ThU wan a species of conduct which was not only insulting to them , bat as insult to the country at large . ( Hear , hear . ) If they had aay respect for their constituents they should mark their disapproval of this conduct by voting for the resolution . Let it be manfully met If they should in this instance allow themselves to be insulted thus with impunity , they would in future be at the mercy of persons pursuing the same cratoct which was practL-ed m this instance . The resolution did not do more than express an opinion en the condnct complained of . ( Hear , hear . )
The resolution was carried in the affirmative by a majority of ten . - Mr . Hetheiiixgtox , on account of that resolution being carried , would propose a resolution , which went to say that they should not consider Mr . Rider in future a member of the Convention , unless reelected . Unless they adopted gome such conduct , it would be impossible to carry on the proceeding * of the Convention . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Lovett said it would not be in the power ef the CoBvention to receive the motion unless notice had been given . ( Hear , bear . ) Mr . O'Connor wonld support Mr . Hetherington . It was competent for the Convention to go into the motion at oace , as it arose from business before the Convention . ( Hear . ) Beside * , it wonld give the members who voted before an opportunity to confirm their fermer re tea .
Mr . Hetbeeuncton would persevere in bis resolution . Mr . Dl'SC \ a>—As Mr . Rider has b * en found worthy of cessure , he thought he would find himself very uncomfortable in his seat . He would second Mr . Hetherington ' s resolution . Mr . O'Coxxor differed from Mr . Duncan , no matter how charitable he was in the expressions he had . used with regard to Mr . Rider , inasmuch as the character of Mr . Rider ' s proceedings , which that gentlemen had given them , waa not correct . Mr . Carpenter , he must ray , vpoke and acted on this occasion in a different mode from what he had when the question of tbe Birmingham delegates' resignation was introduced , but he supposed this arose Irom the difference in th >? circumstance * of the parties .
He thought that every means ihould be exerted to keep the Convention together , instead of the members doing their utmost to create disunion . If they wished ( onus ? Mr . Rider to that pinnacle of eminence which the conduct of some of the delegates did imply that they did not he would ray , pu » this resolution . ( Hear . ) Let them give their sanction to this vote of expulsion and send him forth to toe country as a martyr . ( Hear , and laughter . ) Same of them might laugh , but he would persist in saying that Mr . Rider wonld be looked on by hi * countrymen and fellow-workmen as » secriheed member , ( H « ar , hear . ) He and no hesitation in saying that if this vote was ratified by tte Convention , Mr . Rider would attain a pitch of eminence which the promoter * of this re * olntioa did not imagine .

( Laughter . ) Eor Ike temperate manner in which Mr . Harney had replied to the insinuations made against him ae deserved the warmest approval of every friend of dispassionate debate . ( Hear . ) By the bold , manly , and independent manner in which he has called for the production of the charges made against him in an underhand manner has he inflicted on bis accn « er the sharpest rebuke . For himself , ho thought that if Mr . Harvey had ever displayed one feeling is favour of their cause above another it was zeal . ( Hear , hear . ) They were much mistaken if they thought they could by their vote this day dispose o ! the question at issue : they could not ; it only remained for the people to do so , they ' alone had the power of dealing with their members . ( Hear , hear . ]
No man gat there at the will or by authority of the Convention . ( Hear , heat , hear . ) They were assuming an authority which even , the House of Commons , bad as it was , never assumed . ( Hear , hear . ) Had Mr . Rider < f efeuded himself ? Was it not attempted to give judgment on him before he has had time or opportonitv to make his defence , the manner in which this debate has gone on would give a person to understand any thing but the real question in aebatv . Mr . O'Connor proceeded to argue against the assumption of power sought to be maintained if the resolution wonld pass , and concluded by saying this in not justice , i tig oppression , tyrant ; y , and despoiwm . ( Oh , oh . ) Members may cry " ob , oh , " and shake tbeir heads , bnt this is mt
amendment" 1 hat should the Convention adopt Mr . Hetheriugton ' s resolution , it will be aaact of tyranny , and an usurpation of that power which solely belongs to our constitaente , and can only be exercised by them . " ( Cheerso Now , Sir , I dare this Convention to pass Mr . HetheringtonV resolution . The breath which sent Rider here , sent you here ; and if yoa pass this , the same breath can blow you to atoms . What ! pass this ; and then you have but to sweep your Convention room , Mad become a mere money Parliament He begged « f them not to do that which weuld reuse up the whole country , for what would the people say , but that as they were deserted ther was little necessity for uniou on their part . ( Hear . ) Mr . O'Connor then sat down , and apologised for the of
wamtk ¦ his address , which he * aid was occasioned fey the great interest he attached to this question . Mr . "Carpenter would not % rve op the right of expre . s ? s * £ his opinioa . Let him set Mr . O'Connor rigfct with regard to the course which he took on a rimflar qnestion , concerning "me re conation of the BwauDghain Delegates . On referring to the minute book , he found he had acted in a contrary maaircr to what Mr . O'Connor stated . On that occasion be opposed Mr . Roger ' s & « & >? , which went to move the previous question . Let th * m deal with Mr . Rider as they did witk < other Delegate ? placed in similar circumstances on a former occasion . Wbat does Air . O'Connor mean by saying , that by par .-iaing a certain course -some of the members were
« omg their best to bring it to a money Conveation ? Mr . O'Co . vnor said—What I meant was , that then you would hare nothing to do but to dispose of the public money . Mr . CAKPEA-T £ * resumed—Hs would not insinuate charges , he made them boldly . H * bad it irom persons whom be did Det doubt , ' thnt some of the members had tecked up their » ie ?« e < s « ° d > aid they were readv for any thing that might oocar . " ( Hr-ar . ) He . had these facts from renoiw who afterwards refused to come forward to prove tbem , from fear- of the ill consequences that might ensue to them if thev did . ( Hear . ) We do enlertatt these different and opposing feelings , and no matter when this should be brought to light , he thought that thev
should come into collision at onoe . aad get rid of one party or the other . ( Hear . ) They would soon get rid of the extremes of both parties—the timid would so an depart from them , and so wonld the really red hot . ( Hear . ) He was glad that Mr . O'Couaor had not yet resigned , as he expected from a speech of his made on Monday that he would do so . (" Hear , " from Mr . O'Connor . ) He was confident that shortly the men of extreme opinions on both eides would withdraw . ( Hear , and loud cheers ' . ) That time was fast approaching ' , and it would be seen which opinion was the most prevalent in the Convention . He supported the resolution
Mr . Whittle would not rapport Mr . O'Connor ' s resolution . He would move the previous question . Mr . O'Connor would withdraw his amendment , and give hi » support to Mr . Whittle . Mr . Pitkethly knew Mr . Rider for a long time . He was sorry for the resignation of that person , as he was for many vears an ardent friend of hberty . ( Hear , hear . ) He thought Mr . Carpenter ought to nnme which of the persons of the Convention he implicated , in saying that the extremes of both parties had determined to resign . ( Hear , hear . ) He woald support the previous question . Mr . Neesom aud Mr . Mills concurred ia denying the authority of the Convention to expel Mr . Rider .
Mr . Hetherixutox withdrew his resolution . The motion w ± s withdrawn . GLASGOW COTTON SPINNBRS . Mr . Cle 4 \ e brought on a motion to the effect that the Convention take up the cause of the Glasgow Cotton S piunrrs now lying at Woolwich under sentence of transport ! tion . It vras extraordinary the apathy that was observed by London , aud the country at large , on this subject . He thought it whs b -trayjng a great want of sympathy by the public for injurious treatment that those poor martvrs shonld be i-nffered to exist so long under their present di » tre . « s-d circumstance !' , without some means being adopted to obtain their freedom . He wa » sorry to be obliged to withdraw his motion , as He was sure the Convention would lend their assistance in ameliorating their condition , but he did so on the advice of the committee now sitting on their behalf .
Motion withdrawn . RULES TO BE OBSERVED BY THE CHAIRMA . X . Mr . Hetheringtox fraught on a resolution to the effect " That it be a special instruction to the future Chairman of die Convention , that he interpose his authority to suppress any attempt on the part of members to indulge in personal altercation ; and when any member , when called to order , fails to submit to the Chairman , the meeting shall immediately adjourn . Mr . Hetherington rmm > d the resolution in a few words . He said he brought it forward in consequence of the turn the proceedings had taken yesterday . Mr . O'Coxxor said that allusions had been made to a statement , which had appeared in that day ' s Am , of the irregular proceedings wkich had yesterday taken place . He was glad that thut statement had appeared , as it would tend in some degree to bring the Convention to a sense of what was due to iU own dignity , regularity , and decorum . ( Hear , and cheers . )
Mr . Cleave , Mr . Bussey , and other * , spoke to this resolution . The Chairman then put the question , on which the resolution passed unanimously . The meeting then separated .

MEETING AT ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE . ( From the Sun . ) On Saturday evening , the Chartists made a great demonstration of their strength , upon the occasion of th « -ir Delegate in the National Convention , Dr . Macdouall , - paying them a visit . Dr . Macdouall was met about a mile from Ash ten by a procession , headed by a band of music , and a man carrying a hlack flag , « hich « as surmounted by the cap of "berty . A number of fines and banners were earned in the procession , each inscribed with Radical mottos , and lines laudatory of Mr . Stephens . The procession entered the spacious marketplace ot a little past peven o ' clock , and Dr . Macdouall and a few friend * having arrived in a ehaise , they ascended a temporary hustings whkh had been provided for the purpose . Mr . William Aitkin wascalled
touie chair , there must have been upwards of fifteen thousand persons present , many of them armed with pistols , wkich from time to time they fired off , byway , most probably , of applauding the sentiments of the speakers . TheCiiAiBUAK opened the businewof the meeting in a spirited » peech , in the course of which he state'd that it was quite clear that th « jx-eple must depend on the strength of thair own right arms , withadetermination ne longer to be slaves or tools of the Whig and Tory facioB . Mr . John Wild , in moving the first resolution , said that the Whig * had got Air . Oastler in a situation in which they would not wish to be placed themselves ; they had wrested from the people the glorious and patriotic Stephens , and they were now in pursuit oi that brave , fearless , and unflinching advocate , Feargns O'Connor . Were the people to stand this ? ( Never' !)
" Word * are but » ind , Actions speak the mind . " They must showto the country that the Ashtonians were determined to support their men-at all hazards . He concluded by moving the following resolution : — " That it is the opinion of this meeting that the present system of Government is alike unwise , impolitic , and unjust , and , to remedy this glaring evil , we are determined at all hazards to tee the Charter established as part and parcel of the British Constitution ; asm our opinion it is the inherent right of ail mankind who have attained the age twenty -one to
years , nave a voice in ibe making of those laws by which they have to be governed . " Mr . Timothy Higgins seconded the resolution , which passed amidst loud cheers and the firim : of pistols . | B Mr . Johnson moved the next resolution , which was to thv- following effect . — ' ? Resolved , that from the recent behaviour of the people ' s delegates in the Conven turn assembled , we have ever / reason to believe th « y have no other object in new than the well-being and prosperity of the working classes , and we further declare they possess our unlimited confidence , and hence we are determined to gap port mem . with oar votes , out pun > « , atd onr arm * if necewary .

person named Clarke seconded the motion . Whilst Mr . Johnson was speaking , a large reinforcement arrived from Hyde , witk music , banners , « fec , and , as it was getting dusk , the seen ** , varied as it was by the flashes of the pistol * , was very imposing . The resolution having been paa * ed , the chairman introduced Dr . M'Douadl to the meeting . He wa > - received with tbe most enthusiastic cheering * Hsaid he felt extremely proud to nv * et thnn amidst the smoke from the pistols and the cracking of the Srelosks ; he felt proud to meet them in the position of men ; he Mt proud , indeed , that he was the
representative of men determined to have their rights and privileges . He drew the attention of the meeting to the fact , that Government were trying to smojjtflthrough the House of Commons a Bill to Amend an Act of Geo . HI ., which had reference to treasonable societies , and pointed out this as another instance of the Government being about to enter upon a further crusade against the liberties of the people ; and he concluded a lonjt and spirited address by declaring that the Charter must be hadpeaceably , if possible , but forcibly , if necessary . After a vote of thank * bad been passed to Dr . Macdouall , the meeting broke up .

In the course of the evening , Ball , finding thai he waa mistaken , wished the wager to be drawn , from which , however , Ridley dissented- , and Ball , in revenge , abused and assaulted another of the party named Haigb , who held the stake ? , in such a manner as
to greatly disfigure his countenance . The landlord , for the preservation of the peace , called in the police , to whom Haigh gave Ball in custody , Ball , at the same time , charging the police to apprehend Haikh . The above parties then accompanied by Ridley , William and George Bdll , and Matthew and Edward Williamson , pr oceeded to the police office , where the complaint was stated to Mr .
