whore elute head. Taxation wit 14e cause lie Petits. Whieplice they might for of public griurseces,-thie was the seared of evil s. mast et last be grappled with. All their ingent distinctions—all. the State sophistry which s hroueht into exercise for the purpose of -disliking the truth, might be reseired into the aimed* seeplea, thet . a standing army .wu oecessary to a House Of' Commons, and a MAW of Commons was necessary to a standing array... - He wee ant wearqueinted with the 'Until of ithreeatine a certain live of politics in private life ; bet no ohstaeles, he etittld assure them, weeldprereet MS from pursuing that path which ressehn, truth, sod justice pointed out to him. He was *troy to observe the apathy of the land-owners of . ibis great comity on the merit occasion. If it wai their disposition to act with indifference .on the pre seat crisis, and act up to the letter of their former pledge, let them take the consequence of their coodact. Taxation, it war evident to all, was the great evil, and the remedy. reduction. How was the remedy to be obtained? Ay Parliament; and • oily by a reformed House, because no other bad the iodisation to do . it. The enemies of Reform complaieedlliat they wtre without aplan; to which he would say, would . they adept a plan of:Reform if it etas proposed ? lie for one could not he put off with thit objection. His • pian was reedy. In the drat place he would shorten the duration of Purlian4ats ; and next, would throw open the boroughs to all iebabilaut householders pay. •iug. scot and lot. This was the old constitutional aye. tee, sad every charter against it wit in Aikidos of tow, ana_theeefore.aull. It was said ghat ehesitsform :sus bad no odor object than to pull deign the fabric of :the Gesseitatiee. He would vindicate:the Reformers -Dom such a cherge. He begged to ask, If the foul !unsex were removed, and the rubbish cleared away, witsicbof our iestitatioes would be the worm? 'Let . them. look at Westminster Abbey: a skirt time elaht it was eleaned•aed purified from the dust "Ala bed ael lung defer r ed its veserabli monuments. Was that so cleat Oh rendered less firm, or had it become* lent* , tered4 &eject to mankind, by the process ?. If, thee; •Iselnitstf, the cobwebs and fool accumulations dot de : :filedhosse of oar most valuable .4 astitethas were ew; esoitel t has there sot rues to lope that the eslitiN woad be seeb as all good :men would approve? 'Of 'theses Institutions, Ise, as a lawyer, was ready to admit that the most oppressive engine ever employed over a .peopie was the power Invested in the hands of the Cituseellor. The object of the Reformers (to use the simple leeguage of his Grace the Duke of Bedford; hi .the *bonsai speech alluded to by the worthy aide; man) was to secure to the King his prerogative; to eW Peers their privileges, but to the 'people also thole rights. Every man he thought bound to woo fere ward at this moment; sad he considered that, to libel rational man, there could be no greater inducement' to' demand a Reform of the House of Commons than the simple answer to this question .—Why am 1 not able to live on the (rails of my own industry?—(Great ap . planar.) " Dlr. Western and the Friends of Liberty in Essex." Sir Wm. Mtontssex proposed that this toast be drunk with three times three. The CSAIIRUAN observed that the company would • no dnulst recollect hew muds the county of Suffolk was indebted to Jr. Amer. fM `is obasrvatious is the liaise a Cow.. upon the presentation of their late County petidon. The Una's& tan said he bad now to propose the health of a Gentleman whom he was then happy to see present, whose exertions in behalf of those nefortu nate Wichita's subjected to the ex °pie lash of the Attorney-General, emitted him to the approbation of his country. With respect to the merits of those par ties it was not his intention to say any thipg, but the company oronla agree with him is considering that, In common with the rest of the country, they owed much to the individual who had vindicated the Constitution and the Law with so much energy and success. He then proposed the " Health of Mr. Henry Cooper, and the tedepesdence of the Bar."—Three times three. Mr. Hexer Coorce expressed his thanks in the wannest terms. He bad come there without at all an.icipating the Opal compliment with which be Lad jest been honoured, otherwise he shouNl base en deavonred to have prepared himself to odic his thanks in a more suitable manner. lint though he bad not a speech by heart. he would assure them that what be worth' say should come from his heart. The compli ment was the more welcome, homes he hoped he might knee himself with the belief. that they thought be was one who belong ed to a professions, which, though stained by the characters of some whom he bad is his mind. he should ever think it an honour to belong. The Chairman had done him hut justice in saying. that the exertions which he bad made in fa vour of the unfortunate persons alluded to, arose ex. elusively out of as anxiety for the maietenanee of con stitutional law. lie eared sot who the person was that demanded his advocacy ; he would ever be ready to come forward mud use ids best eudtavoems In favour of the individual through whose sides the Constitution was endeavoured to be attacked. Ile held asnougbt the hireling efforts of those who dealt oat their abuse without any other provocation than this, that the ob jects of their slanders had laboured in the cause of justice and humanity, and sacrificed their time and attention to the care of unprotected property. The hostility of such persons---may, even the most 'ices does expression of their hatred, should never tarn . him to the right or the left. It was impossible for him to forget the great subject that had called them together. viz. a Reform of Parliament. He begged also to say for himself, as his Learned Friend had done, that he was exempted at least from the chug.' of not knowing what he mast when be asked for Re- forms. He would be contest to take any thing in the shape of a boos—lie would eves accept triennial Par - denims, if so other *sedition would do; be would endeavour to bring about the great object by degrees, and begin at the lowest grade. Their enemies spoke of the horrors of revolution—he would say that at that instant they were is the horrors of • revolutimt He would s2y that they were experiencing the horrible of frcl* of a res'Alllios fro* die &stein; t constitution of the country ;and he took pride that it sag be---such an hum ble individual as hinsself—aad those who, like him. were anxious for reform, that now sought to check the pro gress of i tioa. and made oar institutioas in their ancient state. If it were in his power to carry into effect • plata of Reform, it would embrace t►e following three points—First, he would exclude from the he would let ia, if the population was large enough to admit of the increase, as many burgesses as Wvst &aster was sow composed of; and if the population of the town wag bet large enough, he would open the borough to the neighbouring liondreis—a system which, to use the famous words of Mr. Calming, would work wellin practice. Lastly, he would have souse means devised of taking votes of 'the electors less inconvenient to themselves, and less expeesive to the candidates. Aod now be would ask, was theme any thing unconstitutional is any part of this propM si ti on ? He would challenge discus-hoe from any quer ter, and the more especially trot 'else enemies of Re form. But he was well aware that a cool and imps tial exasoloation of any subject was beyond their pro vince. They mightabese and calumniate ; bat as t argument, they understood it sot. .Hs would exhort his countrymen to remit. ne exertion—to suffer no constitutional means to remain untried, for the pur pose of bringing abut that most defirealale object— Reform. To tbie.end, groat deal emit persererenee were essentially mammary. If, "I?owerer, they failed, let them at least stand by the wine); that was left. They had still left: the Trial by Jail:,and the Liberty of dm Press —((ireel . applause.) As long as they bad these safeguards they were, to a cereein degree, rife. Of the efficacy of the first they were entitled to infer much hem the. State Trials of 1795. They owed a doebledebt to epportenity ; foffirst they owed to these trials, not rely the adjestmeet in a settled and defined manner. the hitherto vague doctrines of eonstructire treason, but they farther owed them to Lord Erskine. The unitary was. in the first plisse, iedehted to him for the establishment of great prin ciples; and next, literature was deeply indebted to. him, fur the rich and varied language in which he bad *lathed the most constitutional principles. Perhaps 'he was the only instance of a professional Advocate. whose speeches would afford interest after the occasion which gave birch to them shall ceases be remember ed. As loog. u that speeches shall . he capable of being understood, so long will the spirit of Erskine be powesful amongst men, although his .body be mouldered in the grare.(hirem applause.) —With respect to the second means of safety— the Freedom of the Press, he need only retailed them of the fervid and philosophical expression of the in corruptible and uncorrupted patriot Sheridanl 7 -" Gin me bet the liberty of the Press, sad I will give the Ministers venal House of Lord s; I win give him servile and corrupt House of Cottlatorm; I will ere kin the whole host of ministerial influence to purchase 'hp submission, and over-awe resistance; and yet, :armed with the liberty of the Press, I will go forth to meet him undismayed. I will attack his mighty fabric with that mightier one, and bury it beneath the reins of the obsess it was meant to shelter." He ex horted them to remain steadfast is their resolution to obtain Reform. If that failed, they hid the two other resources in their power. In vain would the caprice of despotism endeavour to shackle theta, in their useful career. They might he shut up in chambers, but the power of diffesiag their seatinseete was set to be montrolled.—(Applause.) The claim which he had ups their attention had bees kindly /Meld to by the IMMiresan. Ile begged to say, that he defended the noOsetunate wows. who was before the Court at that disk first en account of public liberty, and aext on account of the peculiar circumstances of her case. She had been just convicted of vending a blasphemous libel, and bad not the assistance of Counsel at her trial, end under these ciretonstances she was se lected by the Constitutional Aseociatioe fur prosecu tions. He defended her, and defended her successfully. smil was happy in being able to persuade himself that Is had prevented another wound en British feelings. He again theeked the company for their kindness, and assured them that whilst he possessed life and strength, he never should abandon the advocacy of the people's eoestitetional tights, without caring for all the obloquy that might he heaped upon hint by those either is the pay of Government, or those who endeavoured, by the most slaviih compliance with the humour of Govenutent, to lay a knedation for a future claim on their patrons.—(Great applause.) " Success to the Greeks in their struggle against tr. ranoy."—" Mr. Hunte &ad public econotoy."—" May the rights of the many be no longer sacrificed to the inter ests of the few."—" Sir W. Rowley, and the farmers of Suffolk"—three times three.—" Prosperity to the town of Bury, and liberality to its Corporatioa."—" The im mortal memory oft:harks James Fox." The Cusiamssi observed, that in giving this toast, Sir William Middleton bad alluded to motives of de licacy which had restrained hint from proposing it.— lie could not help observieg, that one circumstance had been (argotic,. which was, that he had been a 'instant advocate of reform. He bad, whoa in the iseridiaa of his political life. laid datt . the law. that, every man. paying ceof`and lot, hid a e i ght to a vote. indeed. he believed he was a thorough reformer. "Si, W. Middleton. sad the Reformers in the neigh bourhood of Ipswich."—Three times three. J , Sir W. NIIDDLETON, In returning thanks , observe. that be had ever been a Reformer, and his priaciples were those of the Constitution. as established in 1688. He was equally anxious to Nippon the King with his full prerogatives. and the Lords with their privileges ; bat he thought the King ought to rale by the advice of his Counsellors, and that they ought to be much better than they are. He thought, too, that the Lords ought to pay more attention to the in of the people t and that the House of Co. moos did not reflect their sentiments as they ought to do. Bat be trusted that these defects would be spee dily remedied by a thorough aad effectual *irons,. lir. H. Course begged to propose the health of • Nobleman who had net been so fortunate ss to escape censure: for among the enemies of Parliamentary Reform were to be fogad those who had endeavoured to bad specks is his character.
