The Statesman. — London, England, 1819-06-12 00:00:00

Tu nu &DIM or Tex STATESMAN. Stu; I have for some time withheld my pen from Mobling yog i ceder the despairing idea that nothing I could ray would do any good to the public cause; bet the haeghtioess of the Member for Liverpool, and the insensibility of other Menthe's, hare aroused my indignetlee anew, and I am resolved, with your permission, to let them and all other such haughty beings know that their condect is watched, and will one day be mented. " Demagogues, and clsmoaroes, sod levellers" indeed ! Why, if we ere levellers, we only follow the order, and we may say dictation, of PATuns! Nature is gelded by the principles of de. mocracy or equality. We are pet out of her hands equal, we are taken into her bosom again In a slate of equality. GOD ALMIGHTY esi.bliahed every thing belonging to man as equal. and it can only be the corks of the devil which have created so great an inequality. A king and a beggar equally torn to dust after being deprived of life ; and I am sore that the carcase of the insolent Mr. CArtmso will smell as offensive after death as the corpse of poor Gomm, whose sufferings in prison from a rapture that Right Honourable Gentleman derided, and played epee !! But I am determined to pay attention from time to time to the conduct of these false Representatives of the People, and to put in their places, when tipper. loftily serves, mit benevolent men as Mr. OWEN and others, who can feel for the distresses of their fellow.cresteres, and who will labour to remove thee.—Yeer's, Link agitate, Jose 10, Mt JOll/4 BULL. TO ME FATHER OF REFORM. BODOCRILDFATIM AND lIISPICTIDFaII D,— By thy " Bill of Rights and Liberties," are perceive thou bast a right conception of the duties of a politi cal parent, and seeing that no one else bath had the wisdom or the virtue to MOTe for the adoption of thy Bill, greatly do we lament, that thy consent to serve !Lille ono city as her Representative was not et. tepied. When, in confirm to the horrid iniquity and savage cr petty of despnticoligertbs,eho, bring mere usurpers of the fatherly authority, brutally tyrannise nver, and unmercifully pillage those they ought to defend and protect, we contemplate thy Christian spirit of justice and benevolence, and therein w• behold a striking illustration of the moral so beaatifolly ailed by JIM., when preaching to the Prior:— " If.aish ►e, a • N shall oak HASA D of ►h Flutter, sill tk Yaoher give Ms a stases. r " Übe tok a Visit, u , ll he, fora Flan, give bhp • Serpent!" " oe, of he ink as Eee, noli ►e efer ►in &Scorpion," line appticsblo, in our disastro•s days, to unhappy Ragland, is this parable, delivered in Judea eighteen bendred yews ego ! The half-famished People ask for Bevan. Thom who have osoeped the authority of Fathers, (ling them a Stone so inerteam the already intolerable weight of the millstone that bath nearly droned them under ester. Time, with ether feeling., f r eely gireth them, and whitest stint, the tree Barto of political life, en which, if allowed to feed, the Bread of natural life would never be wanting. Then ettoneth the Evil One, god of the 6ligerehe, proieetor of their osorpstione, end prompter of their iniqeity, sod saitb, " This Ilitli.elD ye shell noi Male." Again, the naked, hungry, and work•wantios People ask employment in the Isheries that summed their native isle, that they and their little ones may be clad arid eat etsti. " No," my the pretended Fathers of tier Coontry, "that, by lessening the price of land produce, woald lower oa► reels and lessen ow , losaries." Then coruth, u before, the Evil One, waving his mischb►ous hand, and ste►nly crying eltsorl, instead of Inds:try': nutritive FISH, swallow Taxation's poisonous SERPENT, and cease your reddiour clamour." With far other feelings thou, by thy Hill, in show. log the means of perfect freedom, showert how the distressed may, by honest labour, abundantly shore in the bounties their Heavenly Father bath provided for their sestensoce. In abort, they ask a FISH, and a FISH the• &vest ; bet ere it can be tasted it is dashed from the lips of thy famished brothers by the accursed baud of tyrancy. And once again, when those who faint through fasting, pray that by their e•n toils they may be allowed to seek the EGG of support, t►e step-Whets of the State, with insolent scorn and dodge., fasten on them the SCORPION tortures of permeation ! litre again, they, as a tree father of thy country, boldest out to them theconstitutionol EGG of RIGHT, slid Ltsa■Ttas, en which they and their children, and children's children, each ender the shadowing vine of the law and the lig.tree of security, might enjoy, to the latest posterity, a perpetual feast! Bet still, es before, the veer w•tchfol Evil One takes care, instead of Yielding to Reform, as en an. tidote, to uphold pillaging usurpation, the deadly bane of OW England. Thou bast done thy duty ; it is for the People thou enditavourest to , to do theirs. Those of ■f religious persession have• speedy mode of resisting official robbers, which, if general, most prove in. fallible. If the People generally, instead of consent ing to pay what a robber demands, would bet sub mit to • piton., and au attempted sale of • few pods, the impossibility of hurling buyers, and the otter impracticability of so collecting the Notional Revenue, would, at once, as effectually as a miracle, open the ry es of oar stupid Rulers to the necessity of a Constitutional Reform.

Whether it is that for fire years it 'lid not occur in them to en. quire into the management of the revenues of those Settlements, •r that they kept them in their present state for the sake of paironsee, we cannot say; but it is obvious, that as their former masters drew from them a considerable surplus after defrayinft all their internal 'Nonce, it is somewhat too such to learn that they cost es many hundreds of thousands per annum to defend.

C. F. PALMER, Ese. m ere its READING E LECTORS. It seems from a Correspondent In the Reeding Mercury, that some of the Electors of that Corpora. tion have twitted this Gentlemen, because he complim►ntd Sir FiWtcts Buontrr and the Pen. pie of Westminster, on the ?.Ith of May, as being St Pimples of petrintisin and liberality for himself and his Constituents to follow.—To this courtesy the writer hat fastened a conclusion, that Mr. PALaita is in (wore in ho " an Uoi I Suf. frog► Mao." Only listen, good People of Westminster, to the terms of diddle, which your petty, innume. tied Corporation is to hold with respect to this high aristocratic spirit of the predates. It is charged in Mr. PALDIER. •• • crime, that he thought Sir F. I Bunorre and Westminster worthy of imitation by himself and the Gentlemen of Reading! Well, ' then, Westminster meet send dime a deputation to disclaim the presumption. and to beg pardon on be. half of herself and Mr. retorts; nothing less can be done. As to the matter of fact, the Reading Cor• respondent doe, not ace, to be so particular: any thing will serve that can be made to look like truth. As we have, however, another sort of predilection in opposition to his ,month-faced inference, we de. dere upon numerous suthntities, besides the Report which appeared in our columns, that Mr. Patient did not otter one word by which any ens could have Imagined that he had abandoned his declared princi ples; and it will be seen from the same report, that he appealed to the pointed record of those principles for the opinions which he entertained of Reform.— lle said. that "he would agree with any party in ac. hi...toted/tine the principle of Reform, without quar relling with them about its modification. )lie own opOtions upon the detail, 'of it were before the Public; he had not printed them from osten tation," &c. Bit oar Readers shall have a fec simile of the manne,• of this " Reading Ekc tor :"—" Mr Pstestst having professed himself a Iliirdatite, can nn longer wonder at his being in the memorable minority of tzo, with Sir Feaucts, in supporting the Petition (or rather fool libel) of a loathsome Wretch against an unsullied hero of the Bri•ish navy, although the falsehood of the Petition anal the infamy of th• Petitioner had been clearly re posed." As to the compliment to *As F. Bumpers., he must put up with it, inferior (as he mast of course he) In fortune, rank, character, and intellect, to this mighty Burgher of Rearling—great people will he a little conten.ptersos. For Caotte, the seamen, whose case forms the epigram of this polite manifesto, we can ocarcely promise the author the same security. Mr. HAMM, Solicitor, is busy " serving process" against all the libellers of this poor fellnw,e hoes° beprocesded against, and if he should catch sight of this produc tion of the " Reeding Elector," he may take it into his heed to etamtoe what the author can plead ageinst a prosecution.

The feeling of pleasure deliver' from it is calm and onmingled. Seeking solace in dramatic enter. tainments from the bustle of reel life, we freqeenily make a mere exchange of ansieties; bat at Vuitton, the acuteness of mental fatigue seems to be soothed. The interest we feel is perhaps less, but it is uniform ■od unmingled gratification. Our spirits seem to bathe in ate ocean of light, which is never ruffled bet by the breath of music. The perade of a numerous and elegant assemblage, quietly treading long, light. fretted arcades, discovering their gratified sensibility simply by their looks and attention, perhaps gives the most imposing idea of intellectual man, than ran be gathered from mere spectacle. Signore ilsocmatt has made some improvements in the fire.works; some of them in their combestion inhibit the most lazuli. cos colossi, sech as peach blossom, ?domino blue, and several • pare diamond lustre, melting all that we have over witnessed. Modem, SAISUI'S went loses nothing of its interest ; it is indeed the to the sublime of soy spectacle yet eahibised. The illusory perspective, created by the blue lights, heightening the attitude, her disappearance midway smoogst the smoke, and her diminished re-appear. once in the transparent circle at the top, thew her descent, backed by • cloud of active fires, with balls of light exploding and illuminating in her track, would remiud a poet of Matiostre's avenging angel, whose path is lighted with burning worlds.
