      for KersaUmoor , presented u formidable appearance in respect io nnmbers . The Nlioor is nearly four inilea distant from Manchester /^ and the ground * fixeJ . for the meeting is thnt upon which the Manchester races take place .

In the days ' of old thern was one named N >* hemiah , who , wheii the people were oppressed with taxes , aud under a tyrannical goverumen , raised np a large assenitily ' against ( he noble * of tne laud , nnd demanded . the redress of their grievances , - ( cheers}—aud that they .- * honld cease to exact usury / rum tliem . . Might heaven grant that our nobles and rulers might he as , Wise a * they wer * iu the days of Kehemiah , ami deliver the people from that Serious loail of taxation diider which they lnlxicrreJ . ( Loud cheers . ) They or . re all ; : ware that la ge meetings had taken-place

      at Birmingham , ISewcjiStle , Edinbro ' ,.

( Cheers . ; Xu'bing could be more reasonable tha- ; this uemaud - , aaid if diey would oiily coiiduct themselves as they had " hithr-rto done , " aiid continue ' to persevere iu their demands for this just and necessary ri gbf , they would , he was persuaded , prevail in securing it . {( .

      both fciiitt > d lor the purpose of showing that the pi-ople were unfit to have a voice iu the choosing uf thVir representatives , a Jew moments mi ght not l » j misspent -iu answt-riug oue or two objections which were urged alike by JH ) tb thn Whig aud Tory factions . "TLe Editor of the Alorning Ctirdmcle hail snid thsit tbe people yet were both pour and ignorant . That tliey were poor he was « juiu ; williuK to aumit , but that they were ignorant he denied .

( Cheers ) But this Whif scribe naid that because they Were poor

      they had mo right to vote . ( Shame . ) Now , ii uovertr incapacitated men irem n > iiitf the elective fr mchise there might be some truth in the argument ; but unless that scribe c <> uld show that because they weft" pour they were incapable of judging of their represeiitativej ' , then poverty was uot a sufficient justification for vrithhuldius trom them t e electivr ir . inchise . ( Loud cheers . ) The Editor of the . Mur . niitg Chronicle had " said that property alone " should be rf \ irfwnu £ < l ; and until the people could swart ?
