a distribution as would disfranchise a very considerable number of borofighe, and leave the counties and large towns with representatives—that if you give not only every householder, but every lodger who might by fraud or collusion be placed on the rating with out paying rates, and made him an elector—that if to teis plan you added the vote by ballot, and that if you had the representatives thus elected assembled for three years— which would, however, be in moat cases not for more than two years—my opinion is, that you would not obtain a House of Commons which would, either with regard to the executive, to the other parts of the constitution, or to calm and deliberate legislation, be as efficient a body as that which has assembled according to the present system.— (Cheers.) Therefore, Sir, if I were to choose between the proposition of my Hon. Friend and the existing state of the law, I certainly would prefer the latter.—(Hear, hear.) It appears to me that is a sufficient reason for voting against the proposition of my Hon. Friend. But I confess I think there are seme parts of this proposition which contain not only the elements of a worse House of Commons than we at present possess, b u t the elements of filature danger to the country. —( Loud cheers.) I cannot but see that if beside householders you add. lodgers, unless the provisions of the Bill are exceedingly stringent, and merely provide that they shall be rated and resident for a certain period, you would approach very nearly to that state of the franchise which, though the Honourable Mem ber for Sheffield did not consider it so, was, in fact, universal suffrage—(Cheers) — and I say, Sir, you would not have a body of electors possessing that independence, intelligence, and integrity, which it ought to be your aim to secure in the electoral body.—(Hear, hear.) With respect to the vote by ballot, in reference to which my lion. Friend who has just sat down said the people of this country have made up their minds that they will have it, I cannot deny the present popularity of that proposition.—(Cheers and counter.cheees.) I repeat that I cannot deny the popularity of that measure; but I do think that many of those who have adopted that proposition as one which ought to be granted by Act of Par liament as it at present stands have not considered all the consequences of the adoption of such a plan. My Hon. Friend the Member for Montrose (Mr. Hume) says, as I be lieve very truly, that intimidation is not only exercised from above on those below, but that it is exercised from below on those above. Many of the working classes of this country exercise some species of intimidation against the ten pound electors. It is very wrong that they should exercise that intimidation; but, at the same time, you must consider what would be the conse quence if the working classes found that their opinions had no effect on the voters, and that elections took place, with the result cf which they were totally dissatisfied, while they were not aware who the parties were who gave the votes on the different sides. I believe that their dissatisfac tion would be much greater than it now is--(flear, bear) — and they would either ask Chit open voting should be re sorted to again, or, what is more probable, they would de mand that the suffrage should be extended to every person, and that every person, together with the ballot, should have the right of voting.—(Hear.) Now, I must say that if you come to a suffrage so general as that, and with it were joined a Parliament for three years, though I can understand that such a Parliament so chosen might exist under another constitution, yet I mast confess, to whatever blame such an opinion may expose me, I do not think that a Parli ament thus elected by universal suffrage with vote by ballot and for a short period, would long exist with other parts of our Constitution—namely, the Monarchy and the hereditary branch of the Legislature.—(Hear hear.) With re spect to the question of the limitation of Parlia ment to three years, the Right Hon. Gentleman says that that used to be the favourite project of the Tory party in former years. But the Parliament of Great Britain solemnly r epealed the Triennial Act on the ground of the inconveniences felt to arise from it, on the ground of the increased expense, and because greater heats And animosities had been known in England under it than had ever been known under any other system of law : and they placed a record to this effect for the benefit of posterity in the preamble of the repealing Act. I can readily believe that if instead of going to an election at the end of every five or six years, we were to say that every two years we should have an election, and that every two years all the great Interests of the country should be driven to the hustings, that party heats and animosities wculd be such that the people of this country would not bear a state of things of that kind.—(Hear, hear.) Therefore with respect to the proposition before the House, I have no other choice but to vote, as I have on several occaeiens already voted, against the motion now made. But the Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Ex q , er:vho, I must say, has gone through these vfrbus pro posttiene with very great ability—(Hear)—bas !huight pro per to refer to a Bill which 1 introduced, b2icg then a Minister of the Crown, and his likeovise declared the policy of the nresent Government vial' reipeet to reform. On these sub j ectt I wish to say a word or two. I lid not withdraw that Bill, because I wet convinced that it did net give satisfac tion; for, if I had remained a Minister I should have thought it right to have proposed the second reading of the Bill, and to have asked the House to go into Committee and discuss each separate provision.—(l.lear.) I should have done so in the conviction that there are, without touching on the particular provisions of that Bill at the present moment, two questions with respect to the representation of the people requiring the consideration of the House. One is, that it appears to me that by the right of voting fixed by the Re form Act—and so fixed, I think, with very great caution, in order that in adjusting the franchise we might not at first fix a rate lower than would be safe—the franchise, in my opinion, is too exclusively confined to the middle classes of this country. My own opinion agrees entirely, as a general opinion, with the statement made by the Hon. Member for Sheffield, that there are numerous artisans in this country—men, earning by their labour and skill com petent wages, who have intelliigence and integrity fully en. titling them to possess the elective franchise.—(Hear, hear.) And my belief is, that if you go on for several years more, leaving the franchise as it is at present, there cannot fail to grow up a feeling of dissatisfaction among these work ing classes; whereas they would be conciliated towards the maintenance of the Constitution, and would be made more attached to the institutions of their country, if they were allenitted to the enjoyment of thelranchise in a greater de gree than at present.- (Cheers.) I believe that they are fully qualified to have the franchise, as at present they are attached to the Constitution of the country. But 1 believe that it is the business of Parliament, and the business of statesmen pretending to rule in this country, to foresee in some degree what may be the state of this country some years hence in process of time, and also what may be the state of the country in a very short time, supposing circumstances to be adverse, and supposing distress, or any reverse in trade should induce men to consider what is their position as re gards the Constitution.—(Hear.) There is another matter in reference to the smaller boroughs to which I think the attention of Parliament should be given. It is not the exist ence of those smaller boroughs to which I allude, because I think their existence as a part of the representation can be fully and adequately defended. I think you would not have a sufficient representation of all the classes of the country without having some of those boroughs with a smeller num ber of electors. Bat I think there are several of those bo roughs, which have so small a number of electors that they cannot be permanently maintained as they are. I stated in bringing in the Reform Bill that the object of the Govern ment was, that no borough should be left with less than 300 101. voters. I think that cumber a low and restricted number; and yet I believe that no less than 14 of the pre sent boroughs have a smaller number of electors. That is a circumstance which must, before long, engage the at tention of Government. I will not enter into the modes by which we endeavoured to remedy the inconve nience; but I must say a word with respect to the policy tei the present Government, as stated by the Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer. I own I cannot say that that policy is founded in wisdom, or that it is a....policy that can be maintained.—(llear, hear.) The Right Hop. Gentlenem say& " I will not make any change in the Act of 1.b:12 without a clear nece•sity." New, we all know that., a clear neceseity" is.— (Hear, hear.) We all know of : a clear necessity" does not mean the general oelnion natirtn and dispassionate men; it does not mean the exami amenel Tour existing legislation, and a determination to fd defects; but " a clear necessity" means that degree ° s cmtent and disaffection— (Cheers) -which reetild render i c t h u ee n r r e f cheering.) we all without making a char ee.—(Renewed spect to the all recollect what has been the case with re ( Clear, hear.)

But is agitation alone to be the power that i,i to g:ve d n i-rpettiz to the Howe of Commene?—(Hear, hear.) The 1 ' 4 ; 131 Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer further, that altheugh the Reform Bill was passed arniest what lie conceives to have been the best interests of the country, yet he is ready to admit that since its enactment the country has been well governed. It is to me a triwn phant satisfaction that undfr an Act which I introduced some 20 years ago the country has been well governed ; that it was a measure of liberal policy, and that it has had a tendency ire the good government of England. I can un derstand that a measure under which the country has been well governed is against the interests of the party who has denstantly opposed it.—(Hear, hear.) But, deeming that the interests of a great portion of the country and our interests were identified with the interests of the country at large, I never conceived that our interests were °Ppssed to the general interests of the country. For the reasons I have stated, I must vote against the proposition ;rained in the present motion; but Ido trust that her e ad iee`tre Government will renounce the course they Lave e atEd to-night, and willconsider well tl s'e take. t . p they hut that t r i ust they will not wait till a necessity aria coutiderinr,?,ii will take an early opportunity of maturely view to an extension present state of the repressutation with A they will deers of the franchise; and that, above all, ch . se to a greeter number on them to extend that f an now in the enjoh_ntnber of the working classes than are may ma k e ee„tl a ' n st ti t tl.iti so that by timely reforms they which 1 believe the people nous of the ceuutry permanent to plc a attached.- (Cheers.) re at present steadily and firmly ---- Mr. WALPOLE said it was entirely unnece3sary for him . to enter into the subject of the debate which the ,flor.

But ..e did not intend to exclude from the consideration of the House those subjects which the Hon. and Learned Member for Sheffield had mentioned— such as the case of persons having consider able sums in the savings bank, or of parties well educated and fitted to exercise the franchise. There was no reason why, as time advanced, such per sans should not have the fran chise conferred upon them. Bat what his Right Hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer meant to say was, that be fore they made any essential change in the constitution— such a change, for instance, as that which was made in 1532 —there were two things always incumbent upon them to con sider; first, whether any change was I ractically necessary ; and, secondly, whether the change proposed would prove permanently satisfactory.— (Hear.) Now, without entering into the first of these considerations, he would content him self for the present with observing that the proposition intro duced by the Hon. Member fur Middlesex had been shown in the course of the debate to be one not such as would be sa tisfactory to the country. The object of the Hon. Member appeared to have been completely answered, namely, that of giving Hon. Members an opportunity of making such ob servations as they deemed necessary on the subject of Par tiamentary reform - generally. No specific plan being before the House, he (Mr. Walpole) did not then feel it incum bent on him to give any opinion upon the subject of Par , eamentary reform. - Whenever any specific change in the present system should be proposed he should then be pre pared to take it into consideration. and if any change should be deemed necessary it would be his duty to see that it was one that would prove practically expedient and satisfactory to the country. Mr. W. WILLIAMS moved that the debate be adjourned. Mr. HOBHOUSE seconded the motion. Mr, HUME said he should be very sorry to be the means of unneccessarily taking up the time of the House by having the debate adjourned. Mr. W. WILLIAMS regretted that he should feel it l'is duty to oppose the wishes of his Hon. Friend, but, represent ing as he (Mr. Williams) did one of the largest constituen cies in the country, he was anxious to have an opportunity of expressing his opinion upon a question which he considered to be one of the greatest importance. Whenever any pro position was made to adjourn a debate from mere party pur poses he felt no disposition to aid such a course, but this was a question in which the peopled of England took a great in terest. (Cries of Go on !") No ; there were several other Members anxious to express their opinions; he there fore thought in common fairness the debate ought to be /'l7 ad journed. - (Cries of " Go on . ) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought the course taken by the Hon. Gentleman was hardly fair to wards the lion. Member for Middlesex. Whatever differ ence of opinion might exist between him (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) and the Hon. Gentleman, he had always entertained towards him the greatest respect. That Hon. Gentleman had brought forward the present question several times, and he had done so on this occasion, no doubt, without the slightest idea of a pending election. He would , have brought it forward under any other circum stance?, far the purpose of eliciting a bond fide discussion. The question had, accordingly, been fairly discussed by al most every Member who was in the habit of speaking on the subject. But now the Hon. Member for Lambeth got up, under the idea that the motion was brought forward for the purpose of giving Hon. Members an opportunity of making electioneering speeches. Nothing, he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) was sure, was more contrary to the inten tion of the Hon. Member for Middlesex, and he considered that the debate might nosy be fairly brought to a close to night.—(Hear, and Divide, divide.) He hoped, therefore, the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. W. Williams) would continue his speech, which would, no doubt, be listened to with the utmost attention.— (Cries of "Divide.") Mr. BRIGHT did not often agree with the Right Hon Gentleman who had last spoken, but on this occasion he was disposed to do so. There was at present no really practical question before the House; he did not know how long it might be before there would be. He certainly was of opinion that many Hen. Members were wrong in their opinions upon the subject of Parliamentary reform. However, he hoped his Hon. Friend (Mr. W. Williams) would on the present occasion allow the House to go to a division. It was neces sary that they should go on with the business of the session. lie hal himself declined taking any part in the present dis cussion, although he, felt a deep interest in it, because he consider: d it desirable that they should not protract the business of the House. Mr. F. PIGOTT said he should have had no hesitation in voting for the introduction of the Bill of the Hon. Mem ber for Montrose, but he wished to guard himself against being considered as pledged to the details of the measure. He thought, however, that the Hon. Gentleman had not selected the most opportune time for bringing it forward. The House was in a different position from that in which it was placed at the commencement of the session, when the Noble Lord the Member for London proposed his mea sure of Parliamentary reform; but he hoped that if the Noble Lord should again be in a situation to propose such a measure those who now sat on the Opposition side of the House would support him without being divided among ,. themselves. With respect to the present motion, he thought that after the discussion that had taken piece it was of little consequence whether there was a divison or not. Mr. HORSMAN said, the reason for an adjournment was less now than on former occasions, as it might be taken that the motion of his Hon. Friend was rather for discussion than to tend to any practical result. Lord DUDLEY STUART—(amid loud cries of " Oh, oh") —expressed his ho'e that the Hon. Member for Lambeth would not press the adjournment of the debate. He stood in the same situation as the Hon. Member as to represent ing a very large constituency. He had endeavoured five or six times to address the House, but as he had not been for tunate enough to catch the Speaker's eye, he was quite willing, as it was the wish of his Hon. Friend the Member for Montrose, and of the House, that the debate should be closed that evening, however desirous he was of addressing the House, to forego doing so—(Hear, hear)—fecling assured that his constituents had every confidence in him and knew that ho would support the measure of his Hon. Friend. Mr. W. VirILLI ‘MS then said he would not persevers with his motion, especially after the reasons given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer.— (Hear, hear.) Mr. HUME replied—The House would feel that he had been placed in no very favourable position. With his oppo nents he was prepared to deal; but what could he say to his friends around him?—(A laugh.) One Hon. Member told him that the present was not an opportune moment for bringing it forward ; but the Hon.. Gentleman must have "forgotten that he (dr. Hume) gave notice last session of this motion, and if, after the change that had taken place, he had not brought it forward, it would have appeared that he was afraid to face Hon. Gentlemen on the Ministerial side of the House.—(Hear, hear.) Another Hon. Gentle man said the discussion would lead to no practical result; but he (Mr. Hume) was perfectly satisfied, for it was enly by discussion that the question could be fairly and properly understood, and therefore every man who wished to see a great question carried should aga i n an d again urge it on the House until it was settled. The speech of the Noble Lord was in favour of one part of his proposition—and he consi dzred it of vast importance—that members of the learned professions and men of intelligence should be entitled to the franchise; and with the Chancellor of the Exchequer he had very little difficulty, for he could show that the speech of the Right Hon. Gentleman had not been directed to anything ho (Mr. Hume) had said. and that as to everything he did say the Right Hon. Gentleman was entirely wrorg. It was not with reference to the proportion of representation given to the territorial as compared with other interests that he had brought forward his motion. His object was to effect a more equal distribution of the representation both in bo - roughs and in counties. The statement of the Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with respect to the number of voters, was incorrect: the real propor. tion of the voters to the population showed that the voters were as one to five of the male population. There was not one statement made by the Right Honourable Gen tleman to which he was not prepared to give a direct nega tive—(Laughter from the Ministerial benches)—and if ex ceptions were taken to the plan of reform which he bad brought forward, let those who objected propose a better. He hoped to live and see that plan carried out—( Hear) — though the Right Hen. Gentleman had now thrown down the gauntlet, declaring that he was not prepared to effect any reform—(Cries of No, " from the Ministerial benches) —and that he was prepared to stand by the results of the contest in 1832. To those results the party of the Right Honourable Gentleman were then opposed. He did not know whether it. was to be taken for granted that the Tory party was resuscitated, for he thought it had expired; but if it were resuscita'ed, it was against that Tory party that he hoped to carry the reform he had proposed. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the motion ... 89 Against it ... 214 Majority against the motion ... The Indemnity Bill was read a third time and passed. The Copyright Amendment Acts went through Com mittee. The Burghs (Sc,tland) Bill went through Committee pro forma. The report upon Common Law Fees Regulation (Salaries was brought up and received.

MARCH 26, 1852. The veteran Member for Montrose—the faithful, consistent, and indefatigable JOSEPH HOME, last night brought forward his annual motion, asking for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the representation of the people. His propositions were, indeed, of the most satisfactory character. The measure founded thereon would truly deserve the title of " The New Reform Bill," which was arrogantly bestowed on the miserable abortion introduced with so much parade and self-gratulation by the ex-Premier at the commencement of the session. The great points of Parliameniary - reform, were, with one ex ception, fully and fairly brought under con sideration, and although the " abolition of the property qualification for Members," was omitted, it was not from any carelessness or indifference to the much-required alteration, but:simply because the question was already before the House in a separate form, and the almost certain success of the Bill in troduced by the Right Honourable Gentleman the Member for Devon might possibly be endangered by the subject-matter being connected with other mat ters on which a greater diversity of opinion prevailed. The remaining points were, however, all noticed. We had—ht, The extension of the franchise ; 2d, protection to the voter in the exercise of that franchise, by the privilege of secret voting by the ballot ; 3d, The maintainance of a salutary control by the constituencies over :their respective representatives, , by "the limitation of the duration of Parliament,' ' and 4th, The more equitable distribution of electoral power, so that the proportion of representatives might be made more consistent with the amount of population and property. We have so frequently insisted upon the paramount necessity for each and every of these changes, and advanced arguments in their favour, that it would be a work of supereroga tion to enter into the subject at any length on the precant occasion. We shall therefore merely contrast the propositions of Joseru HOME with those of Lord Joule RUSSELL, in order that the community in general, the non electors as well as the electors, may be enabled to judge as to which may be most expedient and satis factory to the country. And, first, on the extension of the franchise. There would have been unquestionably a considerable increase in the number of electors, if the proposition of Lord JOHN RUSSELL had been accepted ; and we have always willingly admitted, that it would have been a considerable improvement on the existing system is that respect. But the question now is, whether Mr. Hums's measure, giving the right of suffrage not only to every householder rated to the relief of the poor for twelve months preceding the time of registration, but to every inhabitant of a portion of a house, similarly circumstanced, is not greatly to be preferred, as doing justice to all, and being, in fact, a final settlement of the question. If taxation and representation should be coincident, in accordance with the ancient constitutional principle, there can be no sufficient reason assigned why every person who for twelve months had occupied a dwelling in respect whereof he contributed to the relief of the poverty of the district, thus having " a local habitation and a name" during that period, should not be entitled to a vote, although his tenement were not rated to the full amount of 5/. per annum. This part of the case, however, is not of so much practical importance, for as the Honourable Gentleman the Member for Sheffield justly remarked, there are very few houses under the value of 51. per annum—labourers obtaining only 9s. per week paying that rent. But it would be an unwise and arbitrary distinction, creating considerable annoyance and heart-burnings in the minds of those who might be excluded, although in every respect as well:qualified as others who paid a few pence per week more rent. The great point, however, is the admission of lodgers, or persons occupying exclusively a portion of a house or tenement, and rated to the relief of the poor in respect thereof. Now, we ask what actual difference does there exist between such per sons and householders, that the latter should be so highly favoured at the expense of the former. Is it the intention or wish of th e L eg i s l a t ure to prevent the erection of handsome substantial dwellings divided into different allotments, where every occupant would enjoy advantages which he could not possibly obtain in a cottage worth far more than 51. a year ? It was one of the great objections to the infamous removed, that it buildings, in which many ptarxacotincallilgyhptroahnidbiatierd, now sttch h app il y different i- 1 occupy flats, as is the custom in Scotland might otlandand many p a rts of the continent. It was consid ere d essen ti a l t o remove that objection, even at a serious loss to the revenue, and now we would have the obnoxious principle re stored, and a great inducement held out for the con struction of very cheap and exceedingly nasty houses, each only calculated for, we can scarcely call a single family, in place of onnovfenient domiciles, worth M. each containing comfortably sixotithre 8 : 1 °bar the accommodation eightgaee:rc anda' nfna more convenient and each matter appears too clear to admit of argument; the lodger, who had been in occupation twelve months, paying rates and taxes, would surely be as eligible to a vote in every respect as the householder. On the ballot and the duration of Parliament there can be no comparison, for Lord JOHN RUSSELL com pletely ignores these much required reforms, opposing them with the inveterate perversity of a Tory of the olden time ; while Mr. Hume makes full and fair pro vision for the exigencies of the case, effectually guard ing the voter against bribery and intimidation, and all the cerrupt influences that may be brought into opera tion. He also, while affording a reasonable tenure of his seat to every representative, would yet reduce its occupancy to such a period as would render it desirable for every Member to respect the wishes and feelings of his constituents, and keep in accord ance with the views of those by whom he was placed in his high position: Mr. Hume's Bill has, therefore, clearly the advantage in these re spectr, and so we believe it will be de cided when the fisting time shall arrive, and the electors are required to record their votes at the hustings. But the difference on the last point is even greater; for Lard Joni RussLLL's Bill was positively ob- jectionna.ble. It attempted to carry out a Whig job of the most flagrant description. It professed to preserve the existing state of parties rather than to bestow the right of representation on those ~ large towns which had sprung into im portance. It restored many of the rotten boroughs that bad been, most properly, disfranchised, and might thus be considered as directly opposed to the principle of the Reform Bill of 1832, as being a reac tionary and retrograde movement. Now,although the details of Mr. Home's measure were not, and could not at that stage of the proceedings be set forth, yet the principle was so clearly explained that no doubt could remain of its superiority to the rival pro position. One word as to the nature of the opposition. Mr. Hums has just cause to complain of those who shrunk from avowing their prin ciples, or disregarded their former protestations. We therefore earnestly commend the division list to the consideration of the independent electors throughout the country. It will prove an instructive document that should be largely consulted before any choice should be finally made. The wilful and determined oppon ents of reformpeared to are bad enough, and should be avo ided, but the rats and time-servers are, if possible, w orse, and should be m ost strenuously repudiated. We regret to find that the CHANCELLOR of the ExcnretuElt p stand on the finality of the Act of 1832. Ti;i3 \iv:is the policy that disgusted the nation and alienated th e people from Lord JoUN RussELL. If the existing' Government desire to retain power they must be pre pared to conform with the advanced spirit of the age, and to concede the much-required ameliorations so anxiously looked fur by the community. No Ad- I mListr...tiou can continue in oalca without m4ct:ng the popular feeling on the subject of fiscal, financial, Parliamentary, moneary, and legal reforms. It is for the people to see which side will make the best bidding for their favour, and to bestow it on the most eligible, without reference to ancient dis tinctions. As early as possible after Easter, or, at the latest, soon after Whitsuntide, Ministers will consent to the dissolution of Parliament. The consequence of that appeal to the country it would be difficult to conjec ture, probably for the very reason that it is a matter fraught with an importance so very extraordinary and comprehensive. Each of the two great divisions of the Legislature entertains, or at any rate affects, an implicit confidence in the triumph of their respective opinions. The Government an ticipates a clear working majority actu ated by the principles of Conservatism, and resolutely bent upon the restoration of monopoly. The Opposition looks forward, on the contrary, with no less sanguine reliance upon the enthusiastic an cep tance,, of their views in regard to free trade and Parliamentary reform by the great mass of the elective population. That the latter interests must necessarily ba triumphant in the approaching con test we feel assured if—and here comes the gist of all we would wish to imply by our present observa tions—the various constituencies throughout the United Kingdom will be only true to themselves! It is too late, of course, for all practical purposes, to repeat the advice of Sir ROBERT PEEL upon a former occasion, to register, register, register. But it is happily not too late for us to recommend the possessors of the franchise to scrutinize with an eye of the utmost penetration the different persons who, within a short interval from:the present moment, will . _ appear before them as candidates. Let the electors in every instance in the slightest degree doubtful subject these aspirants for their support to a *ever° and inexorable cross-examination. The principal question to be decided upon by the next House of Commons is one of a value and of a magnitude altogether too remarkable to allow of any carelessness on the part of the electors, or of any indifference in the distribution of their rotes—with- out involving those who may be guilty of this care lessness and indifference in a very terrible respon sibility. The question referred to is of infinitely greater importance than our merely assuring the main tenance of Free Trade—it is the question, the vital and momentous questicn of Retrogression, or of Advance ment. That is the alternative about to be sub mitted to the country immediately on the dis solution of the existing Parliament. It is imperatively requisite, therefore, that the vari ous electors should be alive to the importance of the juncture in which they will have to select their various representatives. There is one phase in the problem about to be submitted to the popular solution which we are anxious to particularise, for the purpose of commenting upon its very specious and pernicious affectation. Politicians have already presented themselves to some among the constituen cies, holding out as a lure to the masses the conquest of the pretended dangers of Democracy by the bene ficence of Conservatism. It is insinuated by them that of late the struggle between class and class has recommenced with more than its wonted virulence throughout the various races of Christendom. They insist, that if the people of England are really solicitous to preserve the rights of liberty, of family, and of property, if they are desirous of conserving the beautiful fabric of society upon the basis of civilization, if they are anxious to uphold the cause of authority against anarchy, of religion against infidelity, of tranquillity against insurrection—they must exert themselves to the very uttermost at the ensuing elections to disarm democracy, by according their votes to the admirers of a Tory system of go vernment. In testimony of the accuracy of all these assertions they point rather unfortunately to the record of the events of the last three or four years on the European Continent. Unfortunately, we say, because those events must, by every dis passionate observer, be acknowledged to demon strate exactly the reverse of all they have here as severated. Throughout the majority of those great revolutionary movements which agitated Europe from 1848 to 1850 inclusively, Democracy raised its banner in the name of humanity. The first act pro claimed in its name in front of the Hotel de Ville, at Paris, was an act of sublime magnanimity. It was an act declaratory of a direct antagonism to blood shed. It was the abolition by a stroke of the pen of capital punishment for political offences. That was the system of brutality inaugurated by the Revo lutionists. That was their cruelty, their barbarism, and their destructiveness. We assert, deliberately and earnestly assert, that the history of mankind does not furnish a nobler chapter than that which illustrated the rise of the new reform move ment in Italy under Pio Noxo, in Hungary under KOiSUTEI, in France under LAMARTINE. Dema goguism subsequently triumphed here and there over the forces of Patriotism, but until then no plea of the feeblest description had been afforded for the subsequent atrocities of tyranny. During the last three or four years on the continent, the mag nanimous were the democrats, the criminals were the despots, the victims were the revolutionists. It is an egregious absurdity, therefore, to assert, as the Tory candidates are already beginning to do, that the interests of humanity are implicated in the conquest of Democracy by Conservatism, in the tri umph of the Tories over the Radical Reformers. The interests of humanity, on the contrary, are so far likely to be implicated in the next general election, that the success of the Tories would inaugurate a disastrous epoch of retrogression as inevitably as the success of the Reformers must insure a still further progress in the course of civilization.
