      lecture , the following resolution was moved by Mr . C . Connor , and seconded by Mr .

" Proposed by Mr . James Parker , seconded by Mr .

George White . Shortly after eight o ' clock , the chair was taken by Mr . Kitaon , who opened the proceedings in a brief and judicious address , and concluded by introducing Mr . White , who emered at length into the cause of the present distressed condition of the working classes , and shewed the manner in which the labour of the working classes is swallowed up by the present ruinous and unjust system . He then exposed the fallacy and deception of the pretended advocates of Household Suffrage—warned the working men to be on their guard on the day of the " Fox and Gaosa" demonstration at Marshall's

      mill , and shew to the world that the time for gulling the working classes had gone by . After describing the political dishonesty and baseness of O'Connell , wko it is understood is one of tho guests invited by the Leeds foxes , and requesting them to use their best exertions to give him a warm reception , he concluded , and was succeeded by Mr .

George White , of Leeds , who addressed the meeting for au hour or more . In the courso of his remarks , he entered into a full explanation of the various points in tho Peoples Charter , exposed the

      villany and deception of the Whigs , entered into a comparison of the relativo merits of Household and Universal Suffrage , shewed up the Household Suffrage and anti-Cum Law agitators , as a body of men having no sympathy with the people , aud whose only object was to distract and divide them . He concluded by observing that it was currently reported that Daniel O'Connell was expected to attend tlie Fox and Goos « demonstration , and hoped that every real Chartis . would be at his poat to declare that he would not hold communion with that traitor to liberty and betrayer of the poor factory child , and sat down amidst loud aud repeated cheers . A man describing himself as an operative Conservative , here stood up and asked Mr . White tbe following question : — " If the BaPot was granted along with tiie other points in the Charter ,

      would you allow the Members of Parliament to vote by Ballot also ? " To thia Mr . White replied , that as the members would be paid for their work it was only reasonable that we should know whether they do it properly or not ; and also that if the members were allowed to vote by Ballot , we couli ) not tell the good from the bad . This explanation was cot deemed satisfactory to the discerning mind of the operative Conservative . The Chairman then inquired whether any others had a question to aak , and none appearing , he called upon all who felt the truth of Chartist principles and the necessity of union , to come forward and enrol their names as members of the National Charter Association . A lurgo number of perrons wore then em-oiled . A vote « f thaulcs wus given by acclamation to Mr .
