CIIBSMIRE. 



At a nnnierons and respectable meeting 

 feeejiily held in the lately llonrisiiing town 

 of Stockport, J. Vardi.k, esq. in the chair, 

 llie folic wiiij; resolutions were agreed to : 



1st. Tliat in all free .States, nothing can 

 l<>nd mere to the happiness of ibc country, 

 than a good understanding betwixt the 

 people and tho.se who exercise the in»- 

 Bortant trnst of repiesenfing them m par- 

 fianient. — '^nd. That no vutiou can 6i dmo- 

 minaUd free, u-kase guvernmtnt dots nut 

 Jff>w from u Jail' -and equal rtpycseulaliuii of 

 the people ; as it is this alone wlitch eon- 

 stiiute* tlie basis of genuine liberty, and, 

 until an end so important shall be gained, 

 ■*e are fully convinced that the sentmients 

 •>' a uatiou cauuot b« suflicieuti^ iiuonn, 



nor its grievances redrei«cd. — 3id. Id or- 

 der to eftect this purpose, it becomes the 

 first duty of representatives at all timw, 

 and more particularly at ihi.i important 

 crisis, to |)ay the utmost deference to the 

 complaints of the nation, and by every 

 virtuous elTori, prove to their constituenis, 

 that all private consideration be sncriticcd 

 to public duty. — 4th. The corruptions 

 Mfhich have from time to time overtaken 

 the original contract, made by our fore- 

 fathers in right of posterity, leaves us 

 nothing to contemplate but a system of 

 estravatrance, so destrticfive in its opera- 

 tion and design, that public confiilencc, 

 together with private property, are leaving 

 this country, and substituting in their 

 stead an extent of pauperism, which have 

 already exhausted every fund necessary for 

 the support of those who have legal claimR 

 on the country. — r>th. That the failure of 

 several applications which have been mad» 

 to parliament, for upwards of fifteen years, 

 in aid of the manufactures of this town 

 and neighbourhood, may be attributed 

 principally to an unequal, and conse- 

 quently ineificient, represcntaiion of th« 

 people, in the Commons House of Par- 

 liament. — 6th. In order to counteract tht 

 baneful consequences, arising from snch 

 unprecedented distress, we would renioii- 

 state with those who are in the icceipt of 

 enormous snms of money, taken from the in- 

 dustry of the people, that they would seri- 

 ously consider the necessity of relinqnishin^, 

 what in fact ihcy can easily spare, without 

 subjecting ibem to the want of that coinfcrt 

 which is so immediately necessary for the 

 happiness of the whole.— 7lh. It is the de- 

 cidejl opinion of this meeting, not only that 

 the present diiiationofparlinment, but also 

 the practice, falsely called tlieelectivefran- 

 rhi.se, is in direct opp0!^itiun to the consti- 

 tutional rights of the people. — 8th. We aH 

 consider it as our duty to protest against the 

 unronstitiitional practice of niaintuininrr, in 

 the time of peace, an army, for which there 

 cannot, in the prisciit order of things, be 

 tlic smallest pretext. — 9th. That the thanks 

 of (his meeting be presented to that dis- 

 tinguished patriot. Lord Cocliraue, for big 

 manly and independent conduct in comi- 

 teiaetitig the designs of those, who, in 

 direct opposition to Irulh, wished to con- 

 tinue that RysteH) of deceit, which has so 

 long marked all their proceedings. — And, 

 that .an humble address ht forthwith pre- 

 sented to Ins Royal Higluicss the Pi luce 

 Kegent, praying him to direct that the 

 Parliament be immediaicly asse;ubled ; 

 and that, in preference lo every other 

 business, they will take the state of the 

 nation innnediately into their most serioii* 

 consideration.

giiiliottoni, esq. of Maeck'sfiehl, to Miss
