( "Yes , " ) Already bad the people bsen met with the bayonet : aad uatess they were prepared to fr ^ e themselre * , there was nothing but slavery for them . It had been stated that the rnUdle classes and shopkeepers of vtfociport were uu&iendly to tfee ea . cse of the working dasses . U thay would gtick to the aristocracy , and abandon those who proride their rery eau « t « ice—if they would be soaring from the Sk ^^ ^ ° nd * ahhongh risen from amongst the woriang classes—why , they knew hew to dial with them , in order to bri * K these fools to their tense * . ( Hear . ) fla recommended the meeting to adopt the system of exclusir © deaKng ; and forthwith to pronde themselves with thoarms o £ freedom . awanM them that the GoTerament at this instant contemplated some lerious phy&ka \ aUacxs opon the jwople of ^ conatry . And vthild he inveigled « K « n * the Whig Government , he did not do so tar the - warpose e ^ by compariioD , arguing iu faronr of- the Tones ; because he well knew that if the Tones were in power to-morrow , the countrr would bftfelBgpd with human blood . ( Hetr . ) Therefore it ttey were not willing to be murdured by these rajtipires of both factions , they must provide them-¦ *? lvea with arms .

      , descrey them at ono fell mroop , he questioned whether more than justice would be done . ( Hear . ) He wished England te be made into a country worth bang in ; and made , what it once was , the envy of nations—Ireland to be emancipated and the iron arm of tie j > pres * or fa . ll nerveless Red naplesa bT his eiie . ( Cheers . ) England wag rumed by the iristocracr ; and her labourer * driven Ufa ! s ^ rea and murdered , or perished isfactcries : wtulst Ireland wa » ruined by her non-residext larni-TiOiders , and her peasantry are all allowed to perisk there hke mere hedgehegs in the ditch .

      Mr . BuTTERWor . TB , of Manchester , alse supported tbe proportion , ia a long address . Having described the injustice which the present fyste » had to » o many year * practised upon tha sufferings of the labounsg classe * , he proceeded to allude to tae sulitary movements of tha Government towards suppressing , by mean * ef physical force , the phyr . cal-force men of JSnjtland , a specimen of wnici ^ ff » een recently manifested at Birmingham . In order to bring an effective engine infco the field , the Chartists were threaWned wiOi a rocket brigade ; but it would be feand out that even this scheme would overreach all the > caleulatjons of both Wbigt and Tories . Tha people , it was contended , bad no properly ; at least , thay had none in the * hape oV oncte

      and mortars , and therefore the rocket brigade eould oxdj destroy that very property which they weuld be c&ikd upon to protect —( laughter)—and in this ttM people could kelp them . ( Laughter . ) He aelead » d the right of the people to possess implements with which to protect their castles : the Constitution allowed it . Tka great Almighty gave the * and as an inheritance to maa : he did not m « an to give it to Lord Grey , or Lord John Rassell . er the x > uiH of Bedford , . r any other of the nrnfccraey . He neter thought of them , not he . ( Hear . ) The < wh of a freeman in the cause of liberty was pr . ) fe"m 0 slavery .

( Hrar . ) Dr . Fletcher pnpportcd the motion . He had intended to have done that which Mr . Smart had done so effectively ; hut he could aot give a silent vote on the subject . The middle classes were the

      Government of the country , though he denied that the House of Commons even represented the teu pound ; rg . Bethought that , having shown to the counjjy they were determined to cawyjoot * eir nltenor- mea # ures , they might ajp > rd to ex >*» aTOur'to conciliate the middle classes , in the hope that , even at the eleventh hour , thtfy might come round and go with us , if not from a love of justice , at leptfrom a fear of tfea oonsequencei , aud the evils mat woald as « arodly oome upon them .

" Mr . Pitkethly scooaied the resolution .

      Mr . SfiKvi . NoTCut begged to nay that ho wa * there to justify the vote which he gave for tae appointment of the day . It was true that the niaiorUT was a very amall oue , and as to the opinion of Mr » Frost , or any other individual , this Convention had a hold upon tbe country , as a Convention , and not from tha individual capacity of any of its membera . Mr . HtTHEttijiuTox would support Mr . O'Brien , becauw the Convention should pause b&f&rd they It-i thn people into delusion , of which they ieera possessed , camely , that they aTe to turn , out on that day . The people ' s lave for Universal Suffrage has been increased , and the facts contained ia Mr-Frost ' s i-tter would , of themselves , justify a general rising throughout the country . He saw irreat

      difficultly , and would like to have the opinion cf those whom Mr . O'Brien stated a . being up to the mark . He was not afraid of the congruences to biwaelf , but he had a riglit to dread those consequences which the rashue * s of the Convention may bring upon a confiding country . ( Cheers . ) Mr . LowiiY * would rcpaat the vote which he before gave in favour of the lXib . He had stated , upon that occajdun , that tha . wholaof the couatry was not prepared ; bat , if the . people did their duty , they would ba dr < 4 fgidb ^ fo / t ) tho country . In hu part of the country they had a » k - ' 4 why an earlier day than the 12 th was aot appointed . He waa aware that if they wero not as wrll prepaied ia othw partd that bi . con » tituenu would ! be sacrificed . ( Hear , hear . )

      Dr . Fletcukr xaid upon the previous diacua » ion on . ' thi * vow lie was told ttiath » could not have tke evidence which was taken for the very purpose of givisg the Cenvntion information npoa the . abject . ( Hear , hear . ) The evidence upon which the vote km grounded , was anything but tatufactory , as to the preparednoM of thu people . He before remarked that his canstituectK were prepared : ha repeated it ; bot it was his duty to take cure , at the same time , that they should not bo sacrificed bf a partial Strike . He wished to take the reaponnbihty upon himself , while he would , independently of the Conven tion ^ , tell the people that he would not bo a party to dalusion , by placing them in a false and unprotected pesition . He would again support the original tote ^ while he would take caro to do his duty to the public .
