Transcribed by Petra Mitchinson. Geo. The Times, Wednesday, Dec 25, 1839; pg. 3; Issue 17234; col A EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDINGS OF THE CARLISLE CHARTISTS. - On Monday evening a public meeting took place in the Assembly-room of the Coffee-house, for the avowed purpose of adopting measures to insure a better observance of the Lord's day. At the hour appointed the room was completely filled, and the persons present belonged, almost without exception, to the Liberal or reform party. The Rev. Mr. FAWCETT proposed that Mr. GRAHAM, of Edmond-castle, should take the chair, which was met by a proposition on the part of the Liberals that the chairman should be Mr. HALL, of the Andrew Marvel Tavern. It is hardly necessary to say that Mr. HALL was appointed by a large majority. Mr. ROGERS addressed the meeting at some length, and urged the necessity of observing the Lord's day. He was followed by Dr. TAYLOR, who replied to his arguments at great length, urging the propriety of immediately granting the people their political "rights." Mr. HARNEY, Mr. CARDO, and Mr. ARMSTRONG also addressed the meeting, and ultimately the following resolutions were adopted: - "1. That all interference with the consciences of men, either by Government or societies, is a crime against the liberty of the subject, and that any attempt to extort funds to support a particular form of worship, or compel the observance of any particular day, is an act of gross tyranny, inconsistent with the principles of Christianity, and which ought to be resisted to the utmost." "2. That this meeting cannot approve of the conduct, or believe in the honesty, of those who have pretended to interest themselves in favour of a strict observance of the Sabbath, for the sake of the poor, because on all occasions they are found opposed to the fondest wishes and best interests of the poor, and have never assisted in any attempt to better their condition, or to regain their lost political rights." - Carlisle Patriot. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Petra
