O'Connor , accompanied by Messrs . Lane and Grocott , entered the Ball . Here a scene ensued which ktfSes . description : suffice it to say , that the loud , long , and rapturous burst cf appkuse with which M . r . O'C . was greeted from every part of ihe crowded Hail ,

      inoontesuby proved that the Chartists of Manchester know how to appreciate his disinterested exertions in the cause of suffering hom&nUy .

Mr . Ross , of the Executive Committee , was called to the chair , Mid after having opened the proceedings at considerable length , introduced Mr . Maynard to more the following resolution : — " That this meetipg is of opinion that the evils which sffiict society , arise from class legislation , and that industry will never neet its doe reward until the People ' s Charter shall become the law of the land ; it is further of opinion

      that any agitation for anytkrog less , is unworthy the attention of the People of the British empire . " Mr . Simpson seconded the motion , and said I am of opinion that man ' s labour is his property , hat yoa haTe no control over it ; yon , therefore , are not masters of your own industry , nor ever will be until Ihe People's Charter shall become law . Men were unfortunately willing slaves : this was the cause of the continuance of onr great privations , misery , and destitution—( bear , hear ) . It becomes every man who wishes a permanent remedy , to immediately fall into the Chartist ranks . I have always stuck to it , and refuse to join any other , as I think they are so many delusions pot forward to create division .

      He iherefore cordially seconded the motion—( cheers ) . Mr . Kodder said a few words in support of the motion , bat concluded by saying he wonld take the wheat en loaf , although a number of others called it a barley one . Mr . Unify Ridley said , I have much pleasure in supporting this resolution , but I owe an apology to you for my late attendance . I felt I had a great duty to perform elsewhere—( loud cheers ) . Your leaders recommended that I should Bpeak to-night at the Freemasons' Tavern . We have been called " Tory Chartists f but to-night we haTe convinced the worid we are not Tories . I ask yon , is it right that we should allow any other agitation to

      supersede the Charter J— ( " No , no , " and great cheering ) . I consider as a man that I have a right to attend any pnblio meeting and move amendments—( hear , hear ) . I am Eorry to hear of men who are in their hearts Chartists opposing other men who go forth and do their dutj —( lend cheers ) . I do not consider it disturbing public meetings to more amendments , as they are called for the purpose of con sidering the propriety of effecting this or that object —( cheers ) . We are struggling for an object that would enable you to send men to Parliament ; that would give yoa what yoa seek—protection for labour . A baronet in the chair to-night learned xhat he was but man . By the moans and groans of

      toe ChartiEt widows and orphans—made so by the "ft bigs and Tories—I proclaim we are not the rt teds" of any party— Pond cheers ) . We hare been told -we are not numerous j but the last month ' s proceedings leudly declared we were—( great cheering ) . Mr . M'Grath , of the Execntive , then rose to support the resolution amidst loud and long continued cheers . He Eaid , I support the resolution because it enumerates the great principles of human liberty . I feel a great change is very necessary iook through this qneen of cities , this emporium of the world ; look at the BempBtresseBj see poor women with iheir" families wandering through the streets singing ballads to enlist sympathy ; when I Eee those things , I eozce to the conclusion that a

      great change is necessary when I see the poor stockingfire of Nottingham starring , while their employers build splendid palates for ibemBelve * , I come to the conclusion that some change ianece * - e * tt . When I see palaces for patrician paupers and prisons for industry , I am forced to the conviction that the change we seek ia absolutely and indiEpenBably requisite—( great cheering ) . When I find we can create wealth / aster than ships can sail away-with it , and jet wealth producers perish of want , I conclude a great change is necessary Well , all theEe evils are cansed by class-legislation . The whole number of English freemen , from a fair eanmeration , are only -400 , 000 . This zaeetiDg has been coriTened to aronse the serfs , and stimulate them to become freemen—( loud cheeis ) .

Look at the immense sums wrung from us in support of government in Church sod State— £ 54 , 000 , 000 per annum ; just forty-fonr times as much as the American government coBt . Then we had whtt was falsely called a National Debt . This was contracted by the aristocracy , and we are called on to . pay it . We have

We court opposition , to our principles . Onr p latform is free to all who are disposed to combat them . Well , then , seeing our principles are incontrovertible , bow is it we hare not the middleclasses with as ! Because they have neither gratitude nor honour in them—( loud cheers ) . He gloried in the name of Chartist , becanie it was understood ; because it was dear ; because it was rendered facred by Buffering—floud cheere ) . What was

      Complete Suffrage ? He was not an O'Connorite or any other " ite . He was a Chartist because that do cument contained the inalienable rights of . all men ; and because oppression existed , which the Charter would exterminate . These were the things that made him a Chartist . He thought that Feargus O'Connor was pre-eminently entitled to the gratitude of the whole people for his ifalons , able , and unwearing labours in their cause—( great cheering ) . How was the Charter to be obtained ! By a union of the people ; by their moral courage . I do believe there is a power in the people EufBoiently strong to smash oppression ' s rod—( load cheers ) . Let us keep to the one great principle . No bit-by-bit reforms—( hear ,

      hear ) . He would illuBtiate his position by an amusing anecdote . There was an old Jady who had a very nico garden . A bow , and a lot of young grunters broke through the fence into it . She took op one of the young grunters in her arms and carried him ODt , and then another ; but as fast as she got a second one out the other run in again : the old lady was so perplexed , Bbe did not know what to do . Her whole garden was likely to be destroyed . At length , an old Chartist gentleman csme up , and said " here , take my stick and beat the old one out , and the young ones will be sure to follow . " The old lady took the advice , and was successful—( cheers ) . Well , then , class legislation was the old sow : beat that out , and the other evils would soon

      disappear . Then let our motto be— " The whole Charter and no surrender "—( immense cheering . ) Tie resolution was carried unanimously . A vote of thanks was given to the chair and the meeting separated . Hammebsmith . —At a meeting held at the Black Bull Inn , on Tuesday evening last , to nominate persons for the ensaing Convention ; it was resolved unanimously that tke following persons were fit and proper persons to represent the Metropolitan districts : —Feargus O'Connor , Philip M'Grath , Patrick O'Higgins , and Thomas M . Wheeler ; also , M That this meeting is of opinion that the ensuing Convention should endeavour to carry out the Land and Charter projects stparately . " A vote of thanks was given to the Chair , and the meeting separated .

      DUBLIN . —The Irish Universal Suffrage Acspciatioa met on Sunday last , at one o ' clock , in their rooms , No . 14 , North Anne-street ; Mr . James Leeson , of Newtounmount-Kennedy , in the chair ; Mr . W . H . Byott , secretary . The chairman said that he felt very proud of the honoured post which the association in its kindness had assigned to him . He thanked them for the high position in which they had placed him . He was a stranger amongst them , but not a stranger either to their manly proceedings or their hallowed principles . In principle he was a Chartist all bis life ; and he would sooner part with that life than abandon one single iota of the Chartist political creed . He had been calumniated in the

      county of Wicklow , and represented as a man in the pay of the Tories because he would not shut his eyeB and follow O'Connell through his devious and filtby path of Whiggery . The blind followers of that powerful man scruple at no lie , no calumny , no misrepresentation to secure their wild and undefined cause . Bnt he persevered . He knew that truth would triumph at last . And now he had had his reward ; for the very men who vilified and traduced him la * t year and the year before have come- forward in the present year and made atonement to him , by expressing regret for all they bad said , and also declared that his principles were the true principles , and the only ones that would lead the people

      to political liberty . About twelve months ago , when he Jast had the honour of addressing his Chartist brethren in that room , he requested them to persevere . He said then what he would eay now ; and the result proved that he was right . " A disappointed Repealer will make a stanch Chartist . " He Mr . Leeson , would now say , " nabackliBh "; they will all be disappointed , and therefore they will all become ChartiEts . The rule of the Association which prohibits all Eectarian discussion is a wise one , and should be strictly adhered to ; but that rule did not prevent a member from illustrating his argument by an example drawn from the positive laws or rules of any religious sect , or denomination . Now ,

      he ( Mr . Leeson ) was a Roman Catholic , and would sacrifice his life for his religion ; bnt he would also sacrifice his life sooner tban believe that there were not good men and true to be found in every religious sect . He would , therefore , implore those good men and true in England , Ireland , and Scotland to join together in one holy union to put down religious and national prejudices : establish a brotherhood for political liberty in the benefits of which all religious sects would be equal participators ; and then tbey might laugh to Bcorn the puny efforts of their unprincipled opponents . Feargus O'Connor and the President of this Association , though differing in religion , have laboured hard to accomplish thiB

      noble object . They have been : thwarted for a time by interested cupidity . But their cause is based upon the eternal principle of justice , and must ultimately triumph over every obstacle . Mr . Leeson resumed his seat amidst loud cheering . Mr . Dyotfc read the minutes of the last day ' s proceedings , and the rules and objects of the Association . He also read a notice of a motion by Mr . O'Higgins , to bring forward a brief , plain , and simple expose of the principles of Chartism . Mr . O'HigginB rose and said , that in accordance with the notice which he had given on the previous Sunday , he should proceed to lay before the meeting a brief sketch of the real principles and objects of

      Chartism . His object was to make those principles so simple , so short , and so plain , that there could hereafter be no mistake about them . But before he would do so , he begged leave to fulfil a promise which he had made that day week , which wsb to read from the report itself , for the benefit of those who doubted what he had then said about Mr . O'Connell's evidence before a Committee of the House of Lords o& the state of Ireland in March , 1825 , upon the question , of disfranchising , the 403 . Freeholders , and pensioning th * Catholic Clergy The Parliamentary paper or book which contains this evidence , is entitled "Minates of Evidence taken before the Select Committee of the House of Lords ,

      appointed to inquire into the state of Ireland . ' The evidence cannot be denied with impunity . A copy of this evidence is to be found ia eTery public library in the kingdom . Mr . O'H . having been anxious to have a copy for his own use , got that one which he held in his hand from the parliamentary printers and publishers , when he was in London , in January last . It is an authentic paper ; a true report of Mr . O'Connell ' s evidence ; aad helMr . H- ) requested those who heard him to get their books and pencils ready , and take down the page and the nature of Mr . 6 'Connell ' a evidence upon the occasion , which -would enable them the more easily to find it , read it , and jndge for themeelves , by having a memorandum of it , and

      of the page m the Report where it was to be found . In page 143 , Mr . O'Connell swears that the Protestant clergy area higher class and a better educated class than the Catholio clergy ; and that it would be very desirable to have the Protestant Rector a mar gisJwte .

It follows , therefore , according to this swearing , that the poor 403 . freeholders had no character to preserve . In page 164 Mr . O'Connell swears that raising the qualification to ten pounds would be productive of great benefit to Ireland . In pages 166 , 467 , Mr . O'Connell swears that the Protestant and Presbyterian 403 . freeholders iu the North are an independent class ; and that therefore his evidence

      against the 40 s . freeholders applied only , to the Catholio 403 . freeholders of the South and " West , and Lein 8 ter . There , now , is the plan laid down by Mr . O'Connell for the disfrancbisement of the 40 s . freeholders ; and they were disfranchised in strict conformity with his recommendation upon oath . Now , then , the Catholic priests are not pensioned by the Crow a yet ; but wait awhile . Bear in mind that the 40 s . freeholders have been disfranchised . Bear in mind that the whole Repeal party—Bishops , Clergy , and all who have joined Mr . O'Connell ' a Repeal delusion , haveone and all , without exception , expressed deep sorrow for the turning out of power of the Whig party . Bear in mind that the Chartists are to a man opposed to any connexion between Church and State . Bear in mind that Mr .

      O'Connell has over and over again denounced the Chartists as Infidels , Socialists , and miscreants ; that he has repeatedly called upon the Catholic clergy of Ireland by the love they bore their holy religion to aid him in crushing Chartism in the bud : and that they were bound by a solemn duty to their religion and their country , to make use of every means which that religion placed at their disposal , to stop the spread of Chartism . Bear in mind that in Drogheda , Lcughrea , Ruskey , Sligo , Lucan , Newry , Cappagh , and in several other places the Catbolio clergy were Influenced by Mr , O'Conuell to denounce Chartism from the altars ; and in this very parish one of the curates refused to baptise a child because bis parents would have him called Foargus O'Connor . Remember that one of the gravest charges against

      the Chartists was that they helped to turn out the Whigs by attempting to exact from them a . pledge in favour of Universal Suffrage , and the other points of the Charter . Do ' not forget that the lamentations of the Corn Exchange Repealers , on the occasion of the Whig defeat at the elections of 1841 , exceeded the Lamentations of Jeremiah . Bear in wind that the Whigs are as strenuous opponents of the Repeal of the Union as the Tories . But above all things bear in mind the cheers with which Lord John Busselland the other opponents of Repeal on the opposition benches received Mr . O'Connell , on his entering the House of Commons the other day . Bear in mind that Lord John Russell prosecuted the Chartist b ; that Daniel O'Connell persecuted the

      Chartists ; that all the Catholio Clergy m Ireland who -joined the Repeal Movement persecuted the Chartists . " ' And bear in mind that the Chartists are opposed to a state provision for ihe clergy of any religion . Remember that Lord John Russell , whoso loss of office caused snob . lamentations amongst the O'Connellite Repealers , Clergy and all , has unequivocally announced his intention to empower the Slate to pay dirootly the Protestant Clergy , the Catholic Clergy , and the Presbyterian Clergy . It is no wonder , then , that tho Clergy and Mr . O'Connell and the Whigs have such a cordial hatred of Chartism . Was it because Mr . O'Connell agitated Repeal that the Whigs cheered him t No , but because that agitation embarrassed the Tories ,

      and Because the Whigs knew that in the event of their getting into power the Repeal would be put in abeyance , and that they would have the opportunity of carrying into effect their and Mr . O'Connell ' s favourite project : a state provision for the Catholie clergy . " Their loyalty secured by a Golden Limi from the Crown . This is the secret of thoir hatred of Chartism . Now such of the Catholio clergy as opposed Chartism ar « in this ditamma—either they opposed it because they knew it was opposed to a state provision for them ; or they opposed it at the bidding of Mr . O'Connell , in ignorance of its principles fit follows therefore that they oppose it either from avarice , or they oppose it in utter ignorance of Us principles , and as dupes of Mr . O'Connell ' s calumny 1

      and misrepresentation . Theymay take their choice . Their ' august and illustrious leader" has brought them into a pretty mess . After all , the great Repeal Movement , and the oppositon to Chartism , were for no other object than that of restoring the Whigs to power , giving places to Repeal leaden , and curbing the Catholic Clergy by a state provision . Let these things not be forgotten . Lord John has been veiy explicit ; and as sure as God is in heaven so sore will the attempt be made to bribe and corrupt the clergy by a state provision . The British Minister is Bure to avail himself one day other of the vast power derivable from this favourite project of O'Connell ' s and such of the Irish Catholic Clergy as have joined him . The end and object of Mr . O'Connell's agitation of

      Repeal can no longer be doubted . He will say , no doubt , that Lord John Russell ' s proposition was premature ; bat Lord John will point to his evidence before the Select Committee of the House of Lords . No one ean for a moment doubt the intention of those parties , those anotent Alliea . And lest any one should hereafter plead ignorance of the principles and objects of Chartism , a& an excuse for their opposition to it , he should then submit to the consideration of the meeting , a plain , simple statement of those principle * and objects ! and should move their adoption : a motion which he hoped would bo carried unanimously . All had reason to expect that when this explanation of the principles of Chartism would go

      before the pnblio , that such of the Catholio clergy as had'been led by misrepresentation to oppose and calumniate the Chartists , would haTe the moral courage to come manfully forward , acknowledge their mistake , and make atonement by joining the Chartist ranks . They must now see that O'Connell's Repeal is ail moonshine and Whiggery . Mr . O'Higgins oonduded by moving the following resolutions , whioh were , in a very sensible speech , seconded by Mr . Rafter , and unanimously adopted : — "That in order to , in Eome measure , relieve Chartism from the load of predjudice which has been artfully heaped upon it , by interested , unprincipled , and ignorant calumniators , both Whig and Tory , the following brief explanation of the meaning of the principles , and

      the objects of Chartibm : be laid before the people of Ireland . " : CHAETISK 6 ' tQr J Simply means Radical RefornjL / T&e name originated in the circimrtapce ' of the ol 4 and cherished principles ot Radijter'RVonn having been embodied in a docunrebt carted the ) " People'sCharter t" which documentyfras d « WLQ , by—Mr f Q _ 3 gonaqll and five other Members of ParliamMU , anoBix tSembers of the Working Men ' s ^ Agsociatioa , and presented to the People of England by Mr . O'ConneU , at a meeting held in the Crown and Anchor Tavern , London , in 1837 ; upon which occasion Mr . O'Connell said"That ho who is not a Chartist is either a knave who profits by the evils pf misrule , or a fool upon whom facts and reason make no impression . " That

      the first great leading object of Chartism is to raise the poor hard-working : man in the scale of society ; to better his condition in life ; to alleviate his hard lot ; to give him , a stake in the country ; to teach him to know and to feel that he is a member of the common family ot mankind , and not a political outcast , as he now is ; to place him upon , a footing of perfect politioal equality with the wealthiest man in the community ; to lead him to respect , value , and cherish and support the laws of the land , by giving him his just rights—a share in the making of those laws ; which can be effected in uo other way than by restoring to him the elective franchise . That is what Chartism recognises as

      UWIVBBlSiL BWFRXQB . The meaning of which is , that every male inhabitant of this empire , ( infants , insane perions , and

      j i criminals only exoeptod ) , shall bare tho right to Tote at the election of a Member of Parliament , which right was enjoyed and exercised by the working classes up to the period of ihe disfranchising statute , the 8 th p f Henry 6 th , chapter 7 . Since that period the working people having lost all political power , their condition has become worse and worse every year , and are now and have ! long been treated fair worse than the dogs and horsea of the aristocracy , and will continue to be so treated until they lawfully combine and petition J Parliament for the restoration of those rights of which they were perfidiously cheated . 2— -That in order to proteofc the poor honest voter from the profligate tyranny of the rich aristocrat , ) whether Whig ,

      or Tory , the voting at elections shall be by ballot . 3—That the Parliaments shall bo annual , which will give to the people the power to get rid of a bad Member of Parliament at the end of the session , and return a good one , and re-elect those who have honestly done their duly . 4—That fox the sake of truth and morality , and in order to do away with covert perjury which is just as corrupt , and as immoral as if it we ' re open , and palpaple to every one , the property qualification shall be abolished , which will save fronrperjury such Members of Parliament aa have no fee-Bimple or freehold estate of their own , and who are yet oWi ^ ed to swear that they have such-oftate before they can sit in Parliament . Chartum calls this >

      THE ABOLITION OF THE PROPERTY QUALIFICATION . 5—That the whole empire shall be divided into equal electoral districts , each district to contain an equal number of voters , and each to send one Member to Parliament ; this is what . Chartists term EqUAL REPRESENTATION . 6—That representatives shall be paid for their time and public services , should their respective constituences deem it right and : just to do so . This is called i

      PAYMENT OF HKMBERS . The six paints therefore , of the People ' s Charter are : —1 st , Uuiv « rsal Suffrage . 2 nd , Annual ParliamentB . 3 rd , Vote by Ballot . 4 th , Equal Representation . 5 th , Abolition of the Property Qualification . 6 th , Payment of Members . ' That in order to insure the speedy : achievement of these just and righteous propositions , it is resolved that we shall not only consider any member , or any candidate for a seat in Parliament , an enemy to the working classes , and the peace , happiness , and prosperity of

      the country ; bat shall not vote for any candidate who shall refuse or decline to giveapledg * in writing , that he will not support any administration but one that will make the foregoing propositions , as set forth in the People ' s Charter . " The reading of this last resolution was frequently interrupted by loud and loug continued cheering . Mr . Dyott then addressed the meeting , after which Mr . John Keegan was called to the chair , and the marked thanks of the Association having been given to Mr . Leeson , the meeting separated .

      PETITION FOB IHE PEOPLE ' S : CHAfiTER . To the Right Honourable the Kuighta , Citizens , and Burgesses , In Parliament assembled , the Petition « f the undersigned Members of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association , and other inhabitants of Ireland . \ EvUHhlt SHEWetit , —That the \ tight at making laws for this realm is by the constitution lodged in the bands of the Sovereign , the Lords of Parliament , and the Representatives of the Commons . ' That every man ( infants , insane persons , and criminals alone excepted , ) is of common ijgh % , and by the lawB of God , s free mart , and entitled to the full enjoyment of political liberty . j

      That it is ecsenttal to a man's political liberty that he have an actual share either in legislation itself , or in the electing of those who are to frame the laws , which , although they ought to protect him in the full enjoyment of those absolute rights which are vested iu him by the immutable laws of nature , may yet be fabricated to the destruction of his person , his property , his religious freedom , bis family , and his , fame . That it is a natural right of the people of this empire , and required by the principles of the Constitution , that they elect a new house of representatives once at least in every year .-, because whenever a Parliament continues in being for a longer term thanjone session , then thousands who since , it was chosen have attained to man ' s estate , and ore therefore entitled to enter into immediate possession of that elective power which ia the beat and most Sacred inheritance , ore in that case unjustly denied their right and excluded from the enjoyment of political liberty .

      That the rich and the poor , being of the same species , are under the save laws of nature , and being alike capable of benefit or injury from their legislators , they necessarily have in the election of those legislators the same right ; but the rich , in defence of their liberty and property have every advantage which wealth , knowledge , and the purchased powers of others can afford them ; while the poor , destitute of all these , have no security but in the purity of legislation , nor any means of self-defence but iu reclaiming their share of the elective power . The poor then nave an equal right , but mere need to elect representative * than the rich . He that Sa free possesses tbat which is } s » oio to be valued than riches , but robbed of liberty be is denuded of all which tenders life valuable .

      That all who talk of a virtual representation admit that it U not a real representation ; consequently it is no representation at alL All electors j ehare in a real representation ; because the chosen person represents the body of which they are severally the members . Beyond the limits of election there can be no representation whatever , and where there is no representation there can be no constitutional power of taxation or legislation . ¦ Tbat those who have no votes for electing representatives are not fxee men , as the rights of nature and the principles of the constitution require ; but are enslaved to the representatives of those who have votea ; for to be enslaved 1 b to have no will of our own in the choice of lawmakers , but to be governed by ] legislators whom other men have set over us . j

      That by the operation of one unconstitutional and wretched law ( the disfranchising statute of Henry VI ) , about nine-tenths of the people are to this day totally debarred from their birthright of voting for Members of Parliament ; which sacred inheritance and right of nature was enjoyed by their free ancestors until the enacting of that statute . Aud by the operation of another in ! q « ltooa law ( the Septennial Act ) the remaining tenth are also debarred six yean out of every seven . j *** That the existing state of representation is not only thus limited and unjust , but unequally divided , giving preponderating influence to landed and monied interests , to the utter ruin of the Bmall-tradiag and labonrisf classes : an instance of this grossly unequal representation Is found , 1 q the astounding fact that while the principality of Wales sends twenty-four members to Parliament , the County of Cork , with a ' greater population returns but two I :

      That your petitioners further complain that possession of property is made the test of m ' en ' a qualification to sit in Parliament : tbat your petitioners can prove such qualification irrational , unjust , and absurd , and not in accordance with the ancient usages ! of England . It ia irrational , because intellectual power , personal honesty , and political integrity are not always—perhaps it might be affirmed not frequently—found coexistent with hereditary distinction or individual wealth ; it is absurd , because such qualification , though required In one part ot the empire ia not insisted on in all , It being dear to the meanest comprehension that if it be a necessary constitutional safeguard in England

      and Ireland , It is equally essential in Sootland ; and if it be not nec » 8 sary , then is Scotland invidiously favoured , and England and Ireland wantonly and ¦ without purpose , insulted and degraded . Its injustice la still further enhanced by the fact that the sons of peers are allowed to intrude themselves into the people ' s House on remote and barren expectancies , while all otbera are shut out ( save and except Scotchmen ) , who will not sweat they possess landed property to a large extent . It is inexpedient because unendowed talent is excluded ; and it is immoral because it leads to corruption , and incites to perjury , as recent appalling disclosures in your Honourable House do most fully confirm .

      That your petitioners complain that by infla « nce , patronage and intimidation there is at present no purity of election , and your petitioner contend for the right of votipg by Ballot . i That your petitioners complaia that seats in your honourable House are sought for at a most extravagant rate of expense , which proves an enormous degiee of fraud and usurpation . j Tbat your petitioners therefore contend that to put an end to secret political traffic , a power to remunerate their repie * entatiTes for their services ( should be Tested in the constituencies . I

      That yomi petitioners therefore exeroiring their constitutioaal tight demand « f your honourable House , in order to remedy . the many gross and manifest evils of which your petitioners complain , that you will immediately pass into a law the document entitled " The People ' s Charter , " -which embraces the Representation ot Male Adults , Tote by Ballot , Annual Parliaments , Abolition of the Property Qualification , Payment of Members , and Equal Electoral Districts . j And that your petitioners dtsiring to promote the peace of Great Britain and Ireland , security of property , and prosperity of commerce , seriously and earnestly press this their petition on the attention of your Honour , able House , ] And your petitioners j will ever pray .
