Southeran being called to the chair , briefly opened the procetdinga by reading the placard calling the steting , and intro-• dusing Mr . C ^ ckbum , who illustrated hia subject

      under tbree heads . First , to prove taat the people ¦ W 3 re in reality Elaves . Second , the causes of their slavery . Aud third , the mode of removing that state of vassalage under which the people lived . He attempted to prove his first position by giving this definition of the term slave in stating a slave to be a man ¦ who is tb . 3 property of another man , and that tiie industrious classps of Britain , as a ciass , wtre as much the slaves of the class abqve them a 3 the negroes are to tiieir individual masters ; because they had no more power in the making of the laws they are forced to obey tbuu the negroes , who were in the Bame predicament . Having at great length shown the various causes of ttieir Bia ^ fery , ha suuimed up t ' zal haad by incontrovertil-ly proving a ' . l the "listing misery in society to be , firs . . of

      the re ^ uit class leijisiatlon ; second , tie disunion amongit the psop ' -e ; third , the want of the knowledge of the people of their own power , which , if- they duly appreciated , would render them cmnipofciit . He "hen Tery ably showed the various antiaotes proposed to remove the present prevalent distress . The Plague proposed tbe repeal of the Corn law .- —the Wliig Educationist antidote , for which they very generously proposed to grant the ssm of £ 3 u , c-0 j , to educate 6 . 000 , 000 of persons , although they considered the more important itotL < . in > object of repairing the Qacen ' s ttaole worthy of a grant of £ 7 G , u 00 . Tii 3 measure "which ha o ! ali others considered the most ad ^ qiatc was thePeoale'a Caarter ; and even in that ihe e-ueruiis of hu-aian libai tv cavs , to a certain extent , succeeded in

      causing a difference of opiuion—a scheme which , in ail probability , was concocted by the gents , who meet in the Ckirn Exciuuge—some of whom were at the compiling cf taat document ; and one of its most prominent advocalts . when ha thought that the working classes cjuld never acquire the attainment of the blessings of its principles , nuw that ha sees it witkin their grasp , has become one of its most inveferata opponents , and is rating hell and earth to cause division , and irapedethe progrcca of huaaau liberty , ss be aever looked at ii ' in any other way than accumulating his big parse . Mr . C maie a very enersfctic appeal to tbe meeting . As dey would wish ta remove the misery , which , he was sorry to say , existed to a very alarming extent , in all pans of tha country , he would impress upon them , the necessity of protesting against ail their clap-trap schema , ar . i eo the whole hoz for the Charter , as the

      only sure mode- of procuring a cheap loaf , plenty of meaiis tf procuring education , and equal protection for tbe property Us x > ar ) of the poor artisan as the rich capitalist or aristocrat . Mr . C . aat down , amidst most deafening cheers . Mr . Sinclair moved the following resolution , wLidi was ably secocdM by Mr . John Cain , and speed to : —" Tsat this meeting are of opinion that all the misery now fell by the industrious classes of this country is really the result of clsss legislation . They beiieva that nothing short of a full and free representation in the stiti > i * n remove that distress ; and ^ they do hereby pledge tceaiselves fcrthr .-ltii to join tbe National Charier A 33 OcLitien as the most efficient mean 3 of procuring that dedraUe or- ; ' cct .
