A nation may complain, bet it never resume to violence pins( its Government, till re iterated corop'aints, remonstrances, and represented ens h a ve lost their efTect,ind proved latterly unavailing. May this not prove theca'e in this unfortenete country, atnl may its Prince,white it is yet time, possess the wit. dom to 'spoone the cute of the People, in opposition to - the 'penny of a faction, and resolve to be the cioinvion of the People's liberty, their prosperity, and Uteri h wines,. What can be more reasonable, owe equitable, more proper in the natare of things then that the People, who sustain the weight and Larder of Government, sboeld have a doe share and concorrrot voice in all its measures. Ile who says they should not, is an alien end enemy to his nu— e fool to be pitied, a wretch to be compassionated or ezecrsted. L.tt as rejoice that every boniest min in the country is either become, or is becoming stn. tittle that be is entitled, it not by the letter of the Constitution, by a far better and superior sutho toy.—by the voice of Neter., the voice of GOD, to a vote for • Representative of his person, his pro. perry, his wilt, his industry, his interests, in the oa. floral Government. Every men in the amour is also becoming convinced that the only means of ob. taioiug and merits( the enjoyment of his rights, is by joining bout and hand in effecting Anneal Par. lisments, by Uoiverssi Voting by Ballot. Let this cotivicilon, Sir, go on to gain ground for another trio...moth es it has done lot the last, and in all probability Government will have to decide bet seen concession to the cause of sacred right, or in. cot it)e risk of an alternative which I shall not same. The bold sod energetic linguae that pervade' the Politic Meetings generally, is highly gratifying to the Frieod of Freedom and bosun happiness, and por tends well of the event of the contest. May sorb just and generous, sentiments as are elicited at the Peblic Meetings warm the bosoms and pervade the Wads of the mass of the indestrioes ChM!, and may they be fearlessly declared epos every opporteolty. Notwithstanding, Sir, the supineness, the apparently servile acquiescence of themajority of the trading and commercial classes of the commenity, in the present vicious state of the Representation, the Increase of tuition, the ethasstioo of trade end resume of ladastry, and the cusequent distress of their less fortunate countrymen, it is not to be doubted that vast numbers of tradesmen and hoeseholders who ere perfectly inactive, are yet favourable to the cam of Reform, and are constrained only by dreamiest:ft from the avowal of their sentiments. It does not admit a doubt that the umber of the passive well. •ishers to Reform is very great, and that a large proportion of thews wield become the active agents of it could they do so wish an atlentios to the die. tate' of prudence as respects their connection in trade, or the immediate means of personal or family sup port. The strength of despotism is the dependency of the different classes of society upon each ether.— The journeyman scarcely dare avow his sentiments in opposition to those of his employer ; and the late ter, if in trade. can horsily venture to controvert those of his customer; and thus the chain of de. pendency running through society impedes the *dunce of Reform. though it is not sollicieet ly powerfel to arrest its general progress, which is decided, and will, ere long, preponderate against every opposing interest. It behoves every inn who would befriend himself, his family, or his country, to nett his utmost power and his best judgment, to lessen the operation of this principle of individual preservation in a corrupt state of things, as opposed to an active co.opetatton in those just and neeecssry measures toward a reformed and re novated one. blany persons of property remain passive lookers on, not merely from a fear of of. fee/ling those with whom Usti are immediately con nected, or upon whew they easy in a great mume depend, bet free se apprehension of the snow THE STATES MAN'. swore, which they think might •!lend a reformed House of Commons. They are weakly prejudiced against the recovery of right by the People, bec•ose they fear it might involve an instability of individeal pa ion. Overlooking or disregarding the pro tases and irresistible force of right, some are hostile se it, end others hesitate to become its advocates, be , cause they are apprehensive that a !loose of Com mons truly popular, that should breathe a spirit of general equity, might occasios some change in this respect. But no measure relating to private pro perty, that should emanate from a !loose of Com mons procerly coostiteted, could fail of beiog bene ficial in a national point of view. Private property within moderate afileence would be rendered, by • really popular (louse of Commons, doubly and trebly sec ere; and sock measures only as tended to redacts the present hideous extremes of unbounded afiluonce, and perfect, utter destitution. be the objects of their most mature deliberation. No violence to Withheld possession need be apprehended for • moment. To dissipate, however, this weakness and these ground. less fears is estremely desirable to the advance ment of the close of Reform, as it will have the effect to Inoue, a vast accession to the nem. bets of its active friends.--The greet and good CUM at general industry and of • more gene ral and equitable diffesion of the means of sob' sia.ence, if left in the bands of the industrious and mechanical portion of the commenity,will probably, ere long, embrace the majority of the male popela. lion of the country--bat If to this should be added a majority of the trading and commercial classes, its preponderance against any opposing power would be decided and immediate. The scale of popular right would then strike the ground, with a force that would go near to throw its enemies in the opposite one not only off their legs, bat oat of the pale of that society which they had so •based, end to the well. being and happiness of which they had an long end so obstinately proved themselves the irreconcilable and incurable foes.—l em, Sir, The following is the Courier's account of an net. rage committed by a potty of Reformists at drill, In the neighbourhood of Nottingham :—" The CitCOM• stance of parties going out to drill, having been much talked about here, two persons, vit.

The back and loins of Suits. CROSI have been beaten to a jelly ; and he is now twinned to his bed, and likely to remelt) there some time.
