. stly he one opinion in the House. He now came to ) brooch of the question which, when formerly agi- Med. hid caused much discussion, and on which great difference of opinion had prevailed. What he alluded to was the debates in 1793 and 1799. But he was sure that all the considerations which weighed on the minds of the Legislature at theso,perinds, and induced them to pass the vote which declared the ille gality of all secret associations for political purposes, and of all afli.iations which admitted to a fraternity with such associations other classes of persons; whose sole object was the application of whit they called ellis'cal . force," for the purpose of bloodshed and rebellion, wetilil he acknowledgifl to occur more (fir. eibly on the present ozcasiore" The . House had not hesitated, in 1799, to declife such associations ille sal, by a ltw not o: a temporary nature. but prima irnt and unrestricted as to the' time . during which 4 was to continue in force. It was far from the wish or the intention of the Legislature by that Act to op pose any obstacle to the exercise of Constitutional wants. What was wished to oppose, was to put down that'system, springing out of the French Ke vaution, which sought, by means of affiliated So cieties, to excite the people to rebellion against every Government. That law considered the very prin t pie of: affiliation and fraternization su abhorrent to the spirit of our 'Constitution, that the law against them Was made permanent ; but it had become inef ficient by the accidental circumstance of the Act of the 36th of ch.?. King then in force being only a tem. rimy Act. and it sr. happened, that some of the operative clauses in the Act of the 39th referred to the provisions of the Act of the 36th, the existence of which was therefore necessary for the operation of the Act of the 39th, in its executory clauses. When the Act of the 36th expired, the intention of the Le.l gist itnre was from this circumstance defeated, and' ' the Act of the 39th of the King became inoperative. With respect to this part of the subject, therefore, Parliament would find it now not only necessary to revive the Act of the 39th of the King, but also that of the 3fith, commonly known by the name of the Sedition Act. Ar the time when the Sedition 'Act was pissed, several meetings of a very alarming na tureshad been held, and threatened the most serious consequences. But none of the meetings at that time bad proceeded to acts of open violence. The Legislature then did what was very wise, is antici pating the designs of die agitators, and preventing all the mischiefs and calamities with which the country was threatened. But, in the present case, there was no-need to exec cite so much foresight ; it was not tie.' cessary now to calculate on 'the probability of the acts of open violence, which, ini.79l'rs, when this Ace hod beau passed, were only guested at and expected. Those-Acts of violence which, in 1795, had only been contemplated, had, in the present case, been put into execution. There was no extremity to which they bad not now either actually proceeded, or at leant carried so far as to make'any doubt or hesitation as to theirs designs impossible. All the artifices—all the preparations—all the• precautions which could Make such crimes most dangetous, had, in the pre ' sent case, beta resorted to. A mob was assembled— their basest passions were appealed to—their 'cupidity irhfl tmed—their most lawless 'appetites promised to be gratified—the means too were pointed out, and these agitators watched in the countenances of the deluded rabble the effect of their harangues, till they found them wrought up to the perpetration of the most horrid eecesses and crimes. All this had aw n:illy beta done: There were not only at these meetings the Orators, but also those who absolutely Went there to watch the effects produced upon the people.. After all this, he would- say that it would. be most besotted, if Parliament were to wait before it put these laws into force, till it should see there' was really occasion for them by a repetition of the crimes. —( Beer, hear).—When, under less menacing circumstances, the Legislature had thought it ['tees-. *wry to enact .the laws to which he alluded. these could be very little doubt whether, in the present •thises s it was not the duty of Parliament to make ' ge n : laws efficient, and to give that power to' the infant which it had formerly given. There had grown oat of that lie, a good effect, which be hoped would likewise spring freavie on the presem i stecasion. It had been the means of preventing the exereise,of }he right of petition' (which this Act was, by no means, intended to infringe upon, but. which, ow the contrary. Parliament was beund by every Means to facilitate) t it hod prevented that right from being made the indirect mean: of corrupting th e pub lic arind—(Hear, Ater) ;—not merely corrupting, but leading them on to the perpetration of every atrocity, • 141 e treason, felony, and rebellion.—(Hear, lU'had no doubt, Mut when it was pronounced by Posllanient that by such means a few designing men' were attempting to lead the many to the commission of such dreadful crimes t—when this was done, be' bad no doubt that all those criminal acts would ex. pin under the moral influence of the . law; that the public mind would be • enlightened ; the instigators would fall into merited disgrace, and such a change you'd be produced, that it would not even be found necessary to put in force, or to icflict the penakies which the Act imposes.—(Hear, hear),—.ThirObranch of the remedy must also extend to tliimode in which diese pernicious doctrines had been diseeniinated. The most extraordinary assiduity and industry had been used in the circulation of every species of infi delity and seditioo. From the means used for this purpose, be deemed it necessary to have all seditious Clubs and Debating Societies pieced on' the same footing as to criminality as they bad been bylie Act of 1795. The. same system which then, prevailed was now renewed. There was scarcely • room in soy public-house which Ins not occupied by some meeting of this kind. It was certainly with much regret that he found that some persons of such a rank in society as lett them no excuse on the ground of norance, should have gone to Hampden Clubs and made speeches, containing doctrines which, to say' she least, were of the most wiiienievosts description. • If ever these was a society that deserved to be marked with verobatioO.. said to tlahe mime held up to lip nom curetatiod as had Nip branded already is 1441,4iiktare as Inch Clobikg the - United Irhh. • am, the Contspolidiag Societies, and others of the manse 'Yazd—the iiit*ean Society was one deserv lag every Mark of frepeobatioo.—(Hoer, hear, s ear ). A *Me Loud opfolsite (Laid Cochrane) had chosen tto sty that thiesociaty dad pet consist of more than a Ittadred theatherit; 140 t oat ,d only say, that there • • was evidence before the Secret Cemmittee, which' proved, that at one point of reunion of this society in the metropolis the number was far greater; and this had appeared from no other evidence than that of the. very officers-of the Society, who had, with a strange alacrity, made all their statements and disclosures with the utmost readiness. These men seemed to think,. that when they called themselves philanthro. posts. the very name mint dilarm suspicion:' It was one characteristic feature" of these reforming societies, that they all'professed the most' unbounded benevo lence—they were all philanthropists—all ifteir plans and projects, no matter whether directed against out. persons or our properties, were. if we believe] diem, conceived in loving-kindness to the human race ! Vicar, hear.) They made 'no scrup!e of avowing that the object of their society was the deitroictton of private property; and thus, by a singular, perversity, this society or association was formed on principles, the direct tendency of which was the destruction of the Whole fabric of civil society.—(Hear, hear.) — As to the other societies, known by the name of Union Societies, it had been alleged by some indivi duals that the London Union Society had ceased to exist. On this subject he wished explicitly to state, that the Cimmittee had been put in possession of documents which proved the existence of Union Clubs at Sheffield, Manchester, and other places, which represented themselves as branches of the Union Club in London. And this had been distinctly proved, that as late as December, 1816, by the pay. ment of twenty shillings to the Uni os Club at Shel l field, or any cf the other places, the person who paid this suns was made an honorary Member of the Union Society of London—timid ei let ofWear, hear.) But really it was impossible for the House to attend to all the shufniag special pleading shifts to which these Societies resorted. It was no mailer as to the name, whether they called themselves Union Clubs or Hampden Clubs; —they seemed all actuated by the same spirit, they all passed the same Resolutions, and the Kruse must not atter:et to their paltry nomi nal distinctions—they must not Le cheated by such - means.,—(Hear, hear.) The Spencean doctrines were recognized and inculcated by all of them. And why the Spencean doctrines ? Why was it on this that they all more especially agreed ? It was for this— because they were founded on the principle of plun der and participation of property—V.o.ol cries e. Hear, hear, from all parts e the Hosea.)—lt was by plunder that they hoped to work on the mind of the :poor deluded tradesman. They were all on the same agrarian.principle—the equal division of property—.l _the simultaneous rising of the parishes- , the hunting . 'down the landholder ;—nay, so beautiful was thew. :system, that even the poor landholder was not to be destroyed, for when he had been stripped of his pro- , perry, be was to be made a pensioner ut the public..-. (Hear, hear.) —lf it were not that it would be ours. seeable to trespass so far upon the time of the House, he could produce the. creecrof this Society, not writ ten in the style of illiterate low-bred mischief-makers, but with an air of eloquence that would istonish the House. On the whole, the measures which he should Iropose,as the most wise which could be adopted, were Ist. The temporary inept Walt of the Habeas Corpus Act. Id.

He was anxious that the House should observe the distinction which be wished to mate es to the dura tion of these measures. • He had no hesitation in de daring, that he thought the lasragainst A gg r e g a t e d and Affiliated Societies ought to be permanent ; but he did•not wish the law- against Seditious Meetings and Debating Societies to be pushed beyond -the ne cessity of the case; end he should not wish the pe lad so long as on the former occasion. He hoped, -when the sense of Parliament was declared, and tittl of all the reasoning part of the community, the symens:l would fall to pieces by its own degradation. He, concluded by moving for leave to bring in a Bill for more of preventing Seditious Meetings. Mr. PONSONBY was disposed to concur. in the' neammre fir extending the law for the protection of tie King to the Prince Regent, and in the law against the seduction of the King's troops. As to the Bill fee the union of the two Acts of the Sigh and Seth of •the King, whets introduced to the table of the Hama be should give a &twits opinion; but he was sorry to my that he felt himself obliged to give his decided opposition to the suspension of the Habeas Corpus . Acs. He wished th e Noble Lord had be en a little more forbearing in calling down suspicion on the head of any man against whom there was no evidence be fen the Committee; for bad there been any evidence lsefore the Lbonnittee against any individuals, how. ever powerful, they would have bad sufficient manli ness to have stated it. He did not know wheat ihn Noble Lord pointed out to seapicion; but suspicion was directed against some person or other, and tall& he did not think the Noble Lord justified. Dad CASTLEREAGH explained. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT said, that he could not withhold from entezing his protest against the new infringement of th e Constitution, which they were now called on to sanction. It was one of a chain of encroachments upon the Constitution, which the absurd and foolish delusions imposed on the Gen tlemen of England had been intended to disguise.— Was it really to be imagined that any danger could arise frcm the absurd project of Mr. Spence ? The Gentlemen of England were surely nut so tame as to )ook on and see themselvei stripped of their inheri lance ; but d'that were apprehended, the Measures proposed by the Noble Lord were not calculated to . Meet the evil. Why did *not the Noble Lo r d , if h e dreaded such an evil, tale the ConstitntiOnal means et averting it, and arm property for its °WA defence t phi the NOW, Lord was no fond of reading pampbkts, he refaommended him to read the excellent pamphlet of Sir William Jones, on the Constitutional Means if sUppressing Riots. By arming the People of t land in a Constitudonal we?, they might sit at . -, :ince the Spenerans without throwing ibemselves into the pew of the sate( le-Speoceese, of whom the ,Noble Lord was one-14 iropi and Ilia) —who were now, in reality, taking their property from them while they set forth this contemptible plot, to blind their eyes, while they were consummating their de signs against the People. As the pamphlets of the Reformers and of Speneeans, or any which could be raked together, had been introduced as indicative of the feeling of the. People, he might be allowed to allude to one which was supposed to speak the semi- Meats of the Ministers. 'This pamphlet was called ißeform the Watch Word of Revolution.".--The writer of that pamphlet. after talking of the happiness which should result from a state of peace, observed, that the immediate interest of the Government (if every country in Europe, on the same principle on which they had restored the ancient Gove):einent .of France—( Hear, hear) whicii he (the Honour. able Baroliet) thanked Goo they bad not altoge they been able to .effect—stimulated them to pre vent in this country a Revolution which threatened the tranquillity of Europe.—(Hear, hear, The writer then warned the people to beware 6. lest they might lead to the introduction of a f oreign army into this country —( Llear, hoar) —sod thus turn into a complete despotism the Government they were striv ing to reform." He did not know whether the mea sure thus pointed at by this Ministerial writer, formed a part of the Holy League of . which the Noble Lord was a Champion—and which was indeed a conspi racy of all governments against people of all nations. If the system on which the Noble Lord called on them to en:er were pursued, then. indeed foreign ar mies might be found necessary— ( Hear, hear) —to support use Government against the hatred anti anger of the people. It had been much the fashion to se parate the army from the people—not only to habi tuate the country° Standing armies, before unknown to the laws, but to hold them up as the special and only preservers of the public peace. If this system were pursued, all freedom was at an end. But it the arcelleat plan of Sir Wm. Jones, which he had proved to 'be in the real spirit of the Constitution, were introduced, the country would possess an armed force sufficient fur all purposes of security, and the arms too would be in the hands of people best inte. rested in the preservation of the pubilc peace.— But how was the suspension of the Habeas Corpus necessary t If the absurd pamphlet of Mr. Spence, which the Noble Lord had described as being written with such ability, had the effect of inducing the pro prietors to give up their lands, it would be an effect which reason had never before produced in the world. But if bad that effect—veireti tudla injaeria —the land holders being contented, Mr. Spence'etullowere might divide the land among themselves, and thus In either ChM there would be no harm to be apprehended from such persuasion. But as to the attempts to carry the Ott into effect by forcethey bad been told of treasons, and consiracies, and associa tions, without one iota of prof--(h:ar, hear), but there were laws against treason,againetconspira cies; against blasphemy—them were great powers, unconstitutional powers as he thought, - lodged in the Government for the prosecution of libels; the Go vernment might lay hold of any writer, and appoint every part of the Court which tried. him : —the Judge, the At torney-General, the Special Jury.

It was bet tee to do this s'an to aura the people and punish by re pssfactelaws, as thrtioble Lord seemed to toted to do. As tome treason and conspiracies particularised 'in the Report, they were for the meet part what had bees detailettin every Newspaper many 'moths ass. U they weer Moan with such horrid committees-es, did not the Noble Loed, by delaying to resort to Parliament (How; hear), become inflict a party to the conspiracy ?—(Abele-) Why were they Not revealed In the King's Speech f In that Speech, on the costrary, they were told of die resignation of the people, a sew virtue fee which they bad great need, when they were dying ab solutely for want. 'I he niters of the people in the short time which had passed sines that Speech, waned to have vanished, sad there was inching but creases and discontent in the country. As to the Clubs et which he had been a Member, he was now ea account of his caimans with them, branded as a • traitor end comparison.` He repelled this charge s he owed no allegleMe to the corruption In that House, or to the BurouLle-meepte, by. whom k was cossdnued--he was not aware that mere was a man more clear Irons treason than - Hassell.
