Chancellor of the Beelimner raised at one period the gaieties of the •beam:thee of the Royal Family from 111,0110/. to 18,0001 ; but now that the country bad fallen back—that prices were low—did they hear of any pro ”eition to reduce tholebalaries? no ; and yet be verily believed, that since the days of William the Conqueror, the country was never reduced so a state of greater misery—its misfortunes were not over. Why, in such a state of things, was all redress refused? kents bad Fallen—prices ba d fallen—why 'Weld sinecures and sa laries remain as high as they had ever heen ? They did got want high prices; they wanted low taxes as the, means of giving relief. He felt that he had trespassed too long on the attention of the Meeting, and would soon ronclude. There sik;ht be more able advo cates in the cause .r Refo , but there were none more arduous or more ardent. He hoped the meeting would be unanimous, and that they would adopt the Yorkshire Petition.—(Disapprobation.) It was not that be ap proved of that Petition in tote, but he wished, to pro- duce an effect above. If they were to split into parties and divisions. it was his opinion that they would do more to serve the cause of Canniog and Co. than their ,csost active friends.--(Disapprobation) He would ask them Islet ahoy wanted ? •In Yerk 1000 Freeholders adopted the Petition; only one ultra supporter of Go- FOrDatent 1.1.1 op kis band against it. hien Wooler. whose sendtuents on the question were strong, yielded fee the sake of unanimity. The Hooourable Gentleman conehtded by saying, that from the age of 20 be had been consistent in his politics. Let, said lie, every man here put his hand to Ids heart, and say the same. Before be eat down, he would mention an anecdote of a Noble Lord who had six Members in the House of Com mas.

Mr. SANDFORD—The Duke of Redford has declared that be is willing, for the sake of Reform, to give up Tavistock. and every other Borough under his contrail!. The Noble Lord to whom he alluded had six lackeys in Parliament. 1 Mr. HUNT—Name him. $ Ur.

On theresent occasfbtt it was detdrous, if possible, to be unantinons ; it was the first instsncs that the county of Somerset bad met to express their sentiments on the greatqamtion of Reform; he hoped they would be unanimous, but he left their minds free as air.

He was not afraid to meet them when be had np bill work, of course he felt pleased now when his task was mach more easy. Mr. Saodford had made a proposition to them that day, such as he believed had never been made to any meeting before, he called on them to follow the example and he the fag end of the county of York forsooth. He believed there was net a man who bad a true Somerset heart about him that wbald sot reject such dictation with disdain. He would now'taks leave, in the name of the freeholders, to put a question to the Sheriff. Did the Sheriff appear at the Meeting to record their sentiments; or in case they did not agree with Lis views to reject them altogether ? The HIGH Sumure.-1 have come here prepared to do my duty; I shall attend to every thing that may be said, and if any proposition be made to me I shall ex. cache my judgment upon it. as I hate a right to do. Mr. finxv.—l expected that answer from the Sheriff. When the Sheriff addressed them on the former Meeting. he milled them respectable Freeholders—Mr. Dickinson called them his respectable Constituents—Sir 1 homes Lethbridge—(here the Honourable Baronet stopped forward, bowed to the Meeting, and was received with applause.)-.-Sir Thomas Lethbridge kept his bead steady on the Freeholders—all of them were worthy men all of them called the Meeting most res- U'l ;1 —ento— IItOMIRSRT COUNTY sift-mai. • .

Be (Mr. Semi ford) would not blink the question. What was the state of England before the late cursed war ? The people were happy and 'Murat; it was the attempt that had heels made, to pot shackles on mankind that brought the century to its present doleful situation. The trot attack, was the attack se the indepandesew of Artieries. The great fiord Chatham said—" No Representatims Taxation." That Bubb declaration bed the Act of arming the Americans with forthade to .combat in the cause of freedom. The French army who, during that war fought for and ultimately gave liberty to America, returned to their own country, anti would have given liberty to Pram., had it not been for the interference of those Ministers wfio made war upon France for asserting her independence— A voice in the crowd exclaired—" The war saved the country." itr. §lstylson motiaitl4--ilaw, he weq&Skert42 thiV)lll* sired'? Both dice STenittere dee red at the late Meeting, that taxation was excessive—so great. indeed, and so excessive was that taxation, that if something were not shortly done, it would be impossible for the country to go on. The means of the people would not enable them to pay, nor would their spire sanction the imposition. Government must mamma date itself to the temper of the times—people now thought who never thought.before—they would force Reform on the Government, Retrenchment—the annihilation of sinecures—the practice of economy would be the conse quence of those Meetings which were held throughout , the country. The present was the first Meeting held in Somerset on the question of Reform. He hoped that they would follow the example of the County of York.— [Mr. HUNT —No, So. Somerset will act for itself] Mr. SANDIoRD.—Tbe proceedings of York were sup ported by Mr. Fawkes, who li.ts been a reformer all his life, and by the assembled and independent freeholders of he county at large. York had done more for the canoe of Reform, by the unanimity of its proceedings, -than any other mutiny. It set an example which would be followed. Devonshire, and other places, were abort ; to meet.

What was the use of a House of Lords and a House of Commons meeting without rents? Ministers might chatter with their vile majorities at their backs, but their measures would give no satisfaction. For himself, he would go as far as any one in the cause of Reform ; and it was because he wished for the success of that cause, he hoped they would be unanimous. With out unanimity, their hopes were desperate. The argu. meats against Reform were weak and ridiculous, but the power of its opponents was not to be despised. Mr. Can ning bad recently said, that the system worked well. Yes, it worked well for him and his family; it worked well for him when he was dispatched to Lisbon, at a salary of 14,000 a year, but it did not work well for the people. Any person who looked at the state of things, could not fail to see the ascendancy of an abominable oligarchy, who kept the King and the people in thral dom. He would wish to see that system altered. He would wish to see a House of Commons anxious to sop- port the rights of the people; defending their liberties, and holding the purse strings of the nation as if it were their own. He wanted no confusion—he wished to see the Constitution purified—he wished to be able to hand down to his children the principles of that Constitution as established in 1689. Mr. HUNT.—That was a humbug. Mr. SAND/ORD—Why should not the Parliament be reformed as well es every thing else? Large towns had grown up in the course of time, such as Manchester and Leeds; they contributed greatly to the support of the State; why should they not have the pri vilege of being represented? Time impaired every thing; if that venerable pile in view (the Cathedral) had nut been from time to time repaired, it would have long since fallen into ruins. S 3 will the Pa►hiameut— stript anti confidence ‘ it could not long retain its power. lie held in his hand certain statements from a publica tion by Lord John Russell. It was there stated that the expense of the revenue alone amounted to four millions —a larger sum than the whole expense of the Govern ment at the commencement of the last reign. The amount of salaries and superannuation, amounted to 1.900.0001 ; six thousand persons were employed in the enstoins alone, the salaries of whom amounted to 638,0001. They paid their Ambassadors3oo.ooo/.; four Ambassadors received 12,0001. a year each ; a young man scarcely twenty years of age, but the relative of a late Minister, was about to be seat to Berlin at a salary of 7,0001. a year. There was no country in the world paid its Ambassadors Ott so high a rate—no Ministers in , the world lavished so profusely the public usoqey. The Dr. MAKI rose to second the petition. The able Mover, he said, had detailed strong facts. There were only one or two circumstances to which he meant to skade, !Nod which had for a loft[ Relied of .his life ti'aspiion the erne of Reform. The war was a war ugainst the eights of Nations—it was founded on a principle which claimed a direction ever the affairs of other countries—that war, the profuse expenditure it owisioned, and the Act for restricting cash payments, qt .- morn to him to be the main causes of the present dis tress. He had every opinion of the understanding of the Freeholders; and be hoped that by their conduct—their unanimity, they would that day prove themselves zealous Reformers. Above all, unanimity was most important. It was always objected to them, that Reformers could not agree to any particular plan ; that was put forward as a strong argument against them, and was one great reason why the Legislature had not taken the subject into the consideration it deserved. The county of York had set a good example—(no, no!) He thought so—he he hoped they would be unanimous—without unanimity they would not succeed. Doctor KINGLAILI said he had great pleasure in at tending a Meeting, which had for its object the sup. port of the most important question that was ever dis cussed—a question, is which were deeply involved the democratic rights of the people. Could any impartial or honest man doubt the necessity of reforming a House of Commons, to which 301/ members were returned by the influence of 144 Peers, and 187 Members more by the influence of certain other inclination and the Go vernment—thus 487 Members were returned by means of influence. Where then was the Constitution? Was not the system that of an odious oligarchy, in which the people had no interest? The people were or ought to be the source of power—it was true that liber ty was yet to be found in this country. Why? because the English mind knows that it has an inherent right to liberty, independent of all Conventional Acts; but a House of Commons which contained but 171 indepen dent Members could never be called free—and what was the consequence ?—were not the Boroughmongers and their creatures put by thousands into place, fur the pur pose of enabling them to support ;themselves, without work, in idleness and luxury ? They had a war which cost more than one hundred millions to put down the spirit of freedom in America—they had a war which cost more than one thousand millions to put down the spirit of freedom in France. When he reflected on those things, he wondered that any thing had been left to the people; he wondelscd they had any clothes on their backs. It was his decided opinion that the country would be ruined unless Reform was accomplished, and what sort of Reform did the people want? When they asked for Reform, they acted moderately, they were entitled to demand it as their unquestionable right ; (Applanse)—it could not be refused upon any jnst or rational pretence. He was not apprehensive of any man who might appear that day to garble the question of Reform ; let the people demand the resumption of their rights; let them place those rights in their own keeping, and not is the hands of the Borouglon3ogers.—(Ap planse.)—When they should resume those rights, time people would not exercise their power against the in terest of others---all they wanted was a well ordered Govermucot ; it oas the disposition of the English char a cter to be frugal, orderly and just. lie reared he trespassed on their time.—(Cries of " No, no, go on.")—He had given the question of Reform all time consideration in his power, and he was one of those who did not apprehend any confusion or disorder from giving to adult males the right of voting at Election ; on the contrary, he was of opinion that the public interest would be thereby increased and supported. The Wor thy Gentleman then alluded to the expensive salaries received by theArnhassadors and Officers of Government. The President of America, a country of amazing extent and complicated affairs, had but 6,0001. a year. Why should not economy be practised in England ? If econ omy, which could only be brought about by Reform were once established, the Government would be woe. petals'', toil they spoke the teeth ; but as soon as their proposition was rejected, they turned round and called the Meeting a rabble. When the Meeting passed a vote of tensors on the High Sheriff, he and his Mewls said the Meeting paid him a compliment. Tale Hum Sitaater.-1 said no such thing. Mr. HINT.—The Sheriff's friends said so. Now, i they bad a reformed Parliament, would these men claret to treat them thus like slaves? Mr. Sandford said that people began to think who had never thought before; how did it happen that twelve years ago, he did not come forward on the question of Reform ? He bad been e Magistrate for. mmuyters. Did he .ever. thfi Freeholders together in the cause of Reform ? The people for the last twenty years wanted Reform—the Uentry now found out that it was necessary, because their pockets were empty—(a laugh)—because their Mates were mortgaged. and their lands were gone. Many of them had to pay more money for interest on their mortgages than the amount of the rents or their leads. Let them go on—let them go where nsaay others west before them—let them be whitewashed in the King's Bench. They talked of balances—the balance was between the pockets of the people and their's. How same it that Mr. (lore Langton was made the stalkiog horse that day—they had • brace of Doctors also. Without meaning any disrespect he thought they would he better employed if one of them at least remained in attendance to physic the absent gentleman—(A Laugh.) ...The proposition of the first was put forth as a pill for Ministers. He wnnld rather call it an emollient draught.—(A laugh.)—The proposition of the other, however, was a real purge.—(Applause.)—Not one word that fell from that worthy man (Dr. K.) did he differ with, he spoke frotn his heart, he was always witlt the people. He was not a spy in the enemy's camp, but rather a skilful General, who watched their. motions. There was not a beggar amongst them that did not know the state of the representation and be and they now called for a speci fi c reform. Did they go there to ask for hallo reform, or for the whole? Of Dr. King lake be would always ;peak with respect, instead of wishing to torture him, he came to llchester to relieve bins.—(Applause.)—He had no doubt bat that Mr. Sandford and his family were most respectable, Dr. Blake, all of them were no doubt respectable ; but the Magistrates and the Sheriffs, it should be recollected, were appointed by the very Ministers of whom they complained. lie would go to that period in their con stitution when the people had not only the power of electing their representatives to enact laws, but also the Magistrates and Sheriffs, who were to carry those laws into execution. Until the constitution should he re solved to that point, ahnses would go on, and the people would be slaves of the most depraved kind. Mr. Sand- ford bad alluded to a nobleman whom be would not name; lie did not say whether he was a whig or a tory. but he (.tlr. Hunt) never made any distinction between them. A ivhig was a hypocritical Tory, out of place, nothing more. They got into place in 1806, and they increased the Property Tax to ten per cent, and front that tax they exempted the property of the King. Ac that time the King in his own name, and in the name of others, had about three millions of money in the stocks, It was all gone to Germany, he supposed.--(A laugh.) —The whigs also allowed Lord Grenville to hold too offices. one of them an office of 4,0001. a year, to audit his own accounts. Mr. Henry (trey Bennett stated last Session in Parliament. that the family of the Grenville, alone had put eOO,OOO/. of the public money into their pockets. Mr. Sas:Deo:W.—Was Mr. Bennett a Whig or a Tory ? Mr. HUNT.-41r. Bennet supported the Administration of Lord Grenville. He would now go to another point— the E litor of the Taunton Paper brosilly and impudently stated, that Mr. Dickinson had satisfied the late Meeting of the error of his, (tlr. Dunes) statement ; be would ask, was any one of them satisfied ? It was said thee the Yeomanry accounts were ki-pt and audited—by ' whom! by Colonel Dickinson liiinself [here some per sons called Mr. line to oriel.: and question, ghee. lion." was heard from several Ortrleusen on the bast ings.] Mr. Hunt cmitendea that he was in order. As to the lighthouse, it was ssi I with the same dagree of truth, that be bad had also been in error on that head— Coco the last Meeting he went to Bristol to make inqui ries; lie found that many complaints had been made for the last 10 years, by Captains of ships and others. as to the imperfect lights- that were kept up. Although Mr. - r - . - -- '-' • ~.,. r
