( CbMcs . )
Mr . csa&les Wbri , of Freow , said ttrsy oonid sesreety keep the cause going . Many disappointments eansed by non attendance of teetaren tended to their injury . If ntaionartn eonld be procured , great good would be dene ; be regretted divisions . He thought Lov « tt * Hetberingtonwtn wrong In the manner in which they had brought forward their plans . The spirit was good in Frame ; many of tbe middle elasses win favourable to oar esnss . Tte memben enrolled wen bat small , buttfeey wereabont to form Classen , by « which they hoped to extend . ( Cheers . )
Mr Gordon , of Bradford , said in bis district they wen doing better than a short time ago . Tbe spirit is beginning to revive ; the middle classes wen beginning to see they most be Chartists—that they have no other bops : Chartism amongst them was that of conviction . If a lecturer could be obtained , gnat good would be done ; it was no nse to be afraid of the masters , they eouM do nothing if the men wen determined and unanimous . Many of tbe working people wen earning no more than 2 s . id . and 2 * , 6 d . per week , aad great numbers wen driven to the Poor Law tastiles . If the petition was numerously circulated , gnat good would bs done . ( Cheers . )
Mr . Witts , of Wonon-nnder-Edge , said that Chartism had prevailed to a great extent , but through persecution and other causes , the people bad become apathetic . A gnat maoy wen out of work , but notwithstanding , Wickhanv Sudbury , Dewsbury , and other places , would be of great assistance if properly agitated . Tbe person engaged as a lecturer ought to be independent of masters and manufacturers , supported by a general fund . He regretted then was ne delegate from the important town of Cireneester . He bad visited their room , and was astonished to witness tile respect * ability of those present Then was no man who advocated the cause with more seal and discretion than Mr . Buehan . Men of good character ought to be selected to address meetings . Our enemies were ready
to raise prejudices , and vices were magnified to an enormous extent All men were entitled to their rights without reference to character ; but the advocates of any cause should stand nigh in moral integrity . With regard to leaden ; some , most take the lead , and these must be discreet and intelligent men ; they shoald be careful not to be divided and disunited , for it has a tendency to divide the ' people . Wotton win do its utmdat for 'a lecturer ; they are opposed to mixing op Christianity with Chartism . In Wales the people labour under dlfflanltias with . regard to the means of procuring Chartist publications { -this is not the jOJM with them ; bat he woald advise that Chartist Missionaries take tracts and dkfirtfeato U » m among the agricultural population in Glonoestershir * .

Haswell , Trowbridge , said he was happy to say that Chartism was alw nHgntog princfpl * there ; in proof « f which , he could state that no party canfcoM meetings without the consent of tbe Chartists . He said it would appear , from a Utter which had , b # en read , that Chartism was going , down inTroWbrMgethat a few boys and girls controlled the whole affair ; this , he said , was falsa . H « would ask Means . Pbilp and Clarke if the meeting which tbey attended on Wednesday night was composed of boys and
girls—( hear , hear , from Mr . PhUp )—whether that meeting was composed of thinking man and women , or not f < He said the fact was , a party of vnCsssed Christiana bad sprung up in Trowbridge , who ware osnataatiy sowing divisions , and endeavouring to undo all that had previously been done by the Trowbridge friends , at the expenee of time , trouble , and persecution j and the most remarkable feature ia tbeir endeavours was , that they wen constantly assailing , with the name of infldsJ , an those who conscientiously differed from then , whilst their every public action was a practical denial of the subllm * principles of the Christian religion . ( Hear , hear . )
Mr . W . F . SiMSOfl , of Bristol , said that Chartism was progressing in Bristol : things appeared better now than tbey did three months ago . Amongst them tte fanit did not belong to what are called the leaders , tat to the people .

Mr . R . K . Fhilp said t ati this stage of tbe proceedings , be felt it bis duty , to inafce a atatament of tbe real * position of th » National Charter Association . Tbfewas necessary ; for all who -were comerned inth « management of tbe peopie ' a mayement , would , if properlr aware of their position , understand what was necessary to effect on advance of the people's interests . ' Mr . P . then gave a detailed acoount ol the position of the Executive , and communicated facts which had just been forwarded to him by the General , Secretary . •; He then made an appeal to the delegates present . He said he bad shown them that foads were nasded *; and the people mart not be deceived . It was impossible forthe Chartist cause to be advanced anless aU whtf hoped to
be benefltted thereby determined * o * akea trjfllng sacriBoe to pronote its success . , Mr . It . than stated tbe reMJttttma <>« C . ' $ B » Executive , and , show « d ^ what would be required < V carry out the Important movement" He said he should feel regret if some practical good did not result from the present meeting . It was riot sufficient for delegated individuals to assemble , make resolutions , and then lose sight " of tWm : they muat , 'immediately put their resolutions into effect ; and be hoped each delegate would consider himself pledged to set the resolutions into operation oh returning to his district . Then was a load and general call for lecturers and poUtleal papers : these must be providedi and the delegates should take some steps that would lead to the
desired result , and that immediately . There should be no delay . The Petition' « hoot « » hon 1 d be out as « noo , and circulated in every put wfiere human beings resided . The Convention , too , taurt te supported ; ' and te called upon tbe delegates immediately to commence tte work i there nwsi te no- delay—no deferring ft * another season : the present moment was the moat advantageous for a movement to be made ; itnd that mcvemeat must hi begun and continned with wal and de-Ijsrmination . Mr . P . continued at some Jeagth to appeal to the delegates , -urging"them to backup the Bxeontive Council , and said there was no enterprise too gnat for ttem to carry out with success , if backed up by the confidence and general sapport of the people . ( Loud oheen . )
Mr . Q . M . Ba&tlbtt then proposed the following resolution , which was seconded by Mr . C . Clarke , aad carried : — ; ; „ : ' ¦ • . . ' . ; , .. ** That tha delega ** preaent are of opinion that the lamentable state of tte country calls loudly for remedial measures , such as an calculated to lighten tte numerous baidens ot , and fc > afford employment to tte people ; and at tte same ttxue > to enable the manufacturers , without redwing tte wage * of the working men , to ' sell their goods at'least as cheap as foreigners do theirs ; which object , without undermining tte agriculturiats ' interests , or endangering our nationality , can be best attained by ndostaig taxation ; by * n equable adjustmaat of tte dsbt , called national ; ' by doing away with useless places and sinecures , an 4 lessening the pottos , military , and naval establishments . That toe delegates entertaining this opinion , and believing that
nab measures will not be carried into operation , until tte people posasss tteir political rights , agree to the petition submitted to the country by the Executive , and pledge ourseW" » to ose every effort in our respective localities to ' obtain signatures , and to raise subscriptions tar tte support of , those , , whlt « Jtey sit in Coavention . who : shsil bo eaMstod to see that petition duly presented to the Hoose ' of Commons . " Mr .

" Seconded by Mr . Gordon , and carr ied . Mr . Philp proposed , and Mr . G . M .

" Mr . SIMEON objected to tte resolution on tte ground that tte people will not attend lectures , that tite batter plan would be for tbe associations to exchange their men ; te would attend a poblic meeting at Bath if the Bath friends would send to Bristol
Mr . PWLp said it was highly necessary for the counties to employ persons' whose business It should be to go from town to town and advocate the Charter ; he was surf that great disappointment would be felt by the counties of Witts and Qlovcester if some steps wen not taken by ibis meeting for the purpose . . Tte CBairman said he « ould not return to his constituent * with satisfaction to himself unless he here pronounped bis opinion in favour of lectures . Tbe resolution bating been put ftom the chair , it was carried . The question was then introduced , " the best means of healing differences in tbe Chartist ranks . " Mr . Of M . Bartlett moved , and Mr . Philp BeeondedShe following resolution : —
" That ^ thts meeting delegates hopes that further disputes wDl take place , respecting the late divisions in ite ' Cnartist tanks ,, and that all minor differenoes will be waived , and union promoted as speedily as possible , that effect may be- given to the operations of the Ei&atitt That tte different editors of the Chartist press be reqneated not to give conntenance to any personal disgates or factious bickerings . That all plans for' the furtherance of the Chartist cause , for the sake of order be henceforth Bubmltteftto tte Executive . " Carried nttanimously . " Mr . Philp then moved the fallowing resoulUcn , saoonded by Mr . Simeon ,
"That , in order to obtain signatures to the national Petition , that that document be read at all pnblio meetings of the Chartist body , elasses formed , and the petition taken te all residences aad laid on tablet An tbe publie streets and aarket-plaees , and , that stranuoa * exertions be made by all the members'of the National Charter Association to ^ ve the petition nnmeroosty signed .
