TO Tile EDITOR OF THE STATI"SM AN. 1 1 111,—I so spared the necessity of In:tabling you with the preliminary observations which I bad in• tonded to offer to yogi. Headers on this subject, as your Correspondent at Soolhainptire has, in some m , anticipated them. 1 concur entirely in what he has said spun it. It is, indeed, gratifying to ob• semi the Peatic MIND so It'll disposed to a right consideration of this grist Conatitetiosal geestion, and that not only the inhabitants at Ono* Boroughs aro anxious for the continued diontotioo of it, but that the People at large appear to fool so deep en bit terest ID ii. If the Government view the subject correctly, they will not hesitate to sopped any Bill which may be brought into Parliament to correct an omission in the law, from which so many abases have sprung ; a defect Is the Representative System of the country, which esannt be jestified by any srjement of lapedienry. A Bill of this niter', petting all the Electors of the kingdom ender the same regula• ties', and upon the same footing, mall sorely he sopparied hy all parties, as they will thereby give some earnest of the sincerity of their repeated decla rations of a wish to give effect to all RATIONAL at. PORM. c►ick does vim innovate on the Coestiteden; end to extend the Oath of Qoalification to the voters in Close Bunts/01s, mist certainly falls within this distinction. The 'spasm which has recently been made of the arbitrary conduct pursued et Peiersfiekl for opuratds of half a century, and perhaps at this moment with more daring end unblushing effrontery then at soy former period, strongly marks the effect end tendency of the system of obtaining the retains of Members of Parliament by occasionul voters. It plainly proves that it leads to the esta blishment of the most galling, oppressive, and erne. acting species of tyrants,'; and it most, think, have a due ieneence on the minds of those persons who have, from mistaken motives, been inducer! to ergo/Mete to its airport. We will hope, how. ever, that the time is not for distant when these de. laded men will seeks to a sense of their own im portance, and of the inestimable aloe of the Iran chive which they have bartered away for a few cold civilities, most unwillingly shown them by their haughty patron, and that they will resume their loot usurped privileges, maiming with the English &tyke, lek Set or rift% Ho bin", pent. explore.

I shall, however, now redeem my pledge,' first premising, that in 1761 the patron of the Boroegh of Peters64l, justly fearing the resent ' meet of the intkpendent Freeholders, sod a success fel opposition from Mr. Gummi, whose integrity end superior attainments were duly estimated in that town and Its vicinity, was driven to the necessity of calling in the aid of a Foreign Ally, whom he found In a Dwyer of this City. This yersoe engaged to supply him with any quantity of faggots that might be required to uphold his employer's influence at the Election, and accordingly their numbers were so great, that, aided by the iteechery of the man who " infamously abandoned" Mr. GIBBON on the eve of the Election, the contest was declined, and In conseyeence the fetters of the IttAL voters at Peters. field were more brolly riveted than before.
