ABSTRACT

On Tuesday evening, April 30th, the Provisional Committee of the National Charter Association, were again gratified in witnessing an overflowing audience. The subject chosen for discussion was, how far the “National Exhibition of Industry of all Nations” would raise the social condition of the operatives. Mr. Kydd said, the resolution had been suggested by himself, and might be considered out of the way of the usual routine of business – (no, no,) – but it was sufficient for him to know, that it contained his sentiments, and that they were what he conceived to be truths, and of great importance to his order, the wealth producers. Mr. Peter Hanley stepped forward and said, by permission of the chair, he was desirous of correcting an error, made by Mr. Walter Cooper, on Tuesday evening last, relative to the boot and shoemakers.
