HIGH WATHK AT LONDON BRIDOH. ?sus Oar—Noretni, Si 14u ..Aftenaces, M. Ow loodrouww—Masud, sn. {Si Ammo" ♦n. LONDON, FRIDAY, MARCh 20. LAST night in the House of Commons Mr. Helm brought forward his annual motion iu favour of par liamentary reform, urging in its support all those arguments, and adducing all those illustrations, which he has now for so many years been ever ready and ever zealous to proclaim. Undaunted by many failures, and undismayed by . the known ma jority against him, he proceeded with his statement of the claims of the unrepresented portion of the people,:--arguing tor their enfranchiatement,not sitnply on the grounds of abstract justice, but urging also the prudence of removing that discontent %bleb is gene rated by the fact of a small minority only of the male population of these realms enjoying the privilege of voting for those who make laws for the whole com munity. He brought down his arguments nearer to what is thought to be the level of the opinions of his hearers, by appealing not merely to their sense of right, but t 5 their material interests. His motion this year also seems to have been modified somewhat to the temper of Parliament; for he now asks a vote only for such occupiers us aro " duly rated," and not as heretofore for sll who " claim to be rated." Tho ad mitted importance of the question at issue—the inte rest attaching to it from the meta denunciation by Lord lhiumv of the "noxious influence of demo cracy;" the pledge of Lord bus licssnt. to bring in a measure of reform, st•.ould he again hold office; even the shadow of the coming hustings now loom ing on St. Stephen's—all these considerations were not sufficient to fill the house as it is always tilled when partisan interests are at stake. When place is in the balance, tho House of Commons is crowded— when the people and their representation arc for discussion, the benches are half empty. The members who really tepreaent the popular interests were at their posts, and as the debate proceeded the house grew fuller, whilst all who listened must have felt how thoroughly all the facts and the wisdom of the question were on the one side, and the sophistry and the selfishness on the other. One by one the tory arguments were overthrown. It was shown how completely in accordance with constitutional right and usage is this question of an extension of the suffrage, and that what is now sought to be dune is only a revival of powers exercised in the country fur centuries. Those who aro taxed have a right by law to a voice in the election of those who shall dis pose of the monies of the nation, and this right it is the object of reformers to extend to those at present forbidden to enjoy it. The tories rebel against change, and declare that. alteration in any shape is injurious, nay, destructive. But in truth, they are tho true destructive', for they seek to inter fere with that overrulit ' , power which indicates the law of progress to be the law of life. All living bodies progress whilst their vitality continues. To stop is to die. Those who would say to England, thus far have you gone, but no further shall you stir, show at once their entire ignorance of our past his tory, and seek to act in defiance of higher powers than those of parliaments or of peoples. Our popu lation, our intelligence, our manufactures, our coin mei ce, have gone engrossing from the days when King ALYRLD first planted in this country the rudiments of that self-government which has through centuries helped to fashion the habits and the liberties of Englishmen ; and now, when our material wealth and our industrial prowess have gained a magnitude surpassing that of all other nations, the oligarchy' ho rule us say that our political system shall not be permitted to expand even in the spirit of the institu dons of the great old Saxon King. The old bugbear of France does service in all our discussions on the suffrage. Give the people votes, and, it is said, they will bring about what has occurred in Paris. Nothing can be more baseless than this fear. There is no parallel, in the that place, between the population of the two coun tries. In England the people do, and always have, enjoyed self-government in their several locali ties :in France they are not so fortunate. In England we all enjoy in our parishes what it is de sired to extend to our boroughs and counties—a rating suffrage. Every ratepayer votes for the elec tion of those who are to dispense the rates. Each separate district governs its district taxation and local arrangements, and this they have done for centuries, and so its people have contracted the invaluable habit of self-government. In France, nothing of the kind exists. There government interferes in everything; and hence Paris is, and always has been, France. Conquer the bureaux of the capital and you conquer the country. In France no public meetings instruct and prepare men for public life in the senate. Bred in political helplessness and overburthened by political wrong, the boron of the first French revolution reflected only the sins of that aristocracy whose denial of timely concession brought on the dreadful catastrophe which startled—and ought to warn—the world. But if that lesson is to teach anything, it is the very reverse of what our tory ministers would have it do; for it tells of the miseries induced when a faction have the power to arrest the natural pro greed of a great nation in its rational career towards increased and increasing freedom. But the tories prefer the, growth of discontent to the concession of political rights. They would rather place reliance on old traditions and on modern force, than on the honesty, and good faith, and good sense, of the diligent and taxpaying , people of this country. Men may vote for a guardian of the poor but not for a member of parlia ment; they may have a delegated voice in the dis posal of the parish rates but not of the national taxes. They may say what is to be done with the 20d. in the pound gathered by the parochial collec tor, but not with the 7d. in the pound drawn from them by the gatherer of the assessed income tax. Tho contradiction is self-evident, and utterly unjustifiable. But the Tories who now do, and who, it allowed their own way, will for ever uphold this system of govern ing by themselves and for themselves, to the exclu sion of the industrious multitudes of this country, are open to one mode of conversion and one only —a general election may teach them something. They pretend a want of trust in the people. They say Say_ might be willing to give more :votes if they Irusuld have confidence in the way those votes woad be employed. The people who farm the f/side, and fill the factories, and build and tend the ellinningines, and search the mines, and complete the inventions,—who fight our battles and who Wei ever ships—the people, in short, who bear the hat and burthen of the enormous labour that man the wealth of this empire —are, we are told.** to be trusted with votes. They are so ignorant, and so ticions, and so unreliable, and so worthless, that even such at them as live for years is the same plass, and aerated to the local burthons, l end duly pay thwn—evea this portion of the people shall have no vein in mammon with their fellow °Misses in choosing the members of the House of Commie. Boob L the opinion of the majority of our pamast law makers. But at this moment the very men who make this avowal are about to appeal to the teeters of the easetw on the question of -" Protection' The decision et these electors they say is to bo relied upon foe the anal settlement of the Bread Tax. The disputes of parliament are to Ibe referred to the hustings. The elector•s are to be the umpires. Let them tm the occasion well by pledging those who ash their suffrages not only to Free Trade," but to that which alone can secure permanent commercial freedom and national pro gress—let them exact pledges in favour of re tative reform. Last night there were only tro u t: for Mr. Humes motion to 244 against it. If ths hustings are put to their proper use at the coming election, we may have a ta.y different result when the next division Ulm *ace in the House d l Commons on this esigeet.
