We, the undersigned. .Ministers of Religion, Members of Reform Societies, and other deputies, from the towns of Nottingham, Derby, and Leicester, in public Conven tion. assembled,- having met - for . the purpose of taking into consideration the document called the "People's Charter,"-=with the view-of seeing how far We can agree with its principles and . details, and having arrived at an unanimous decision upon the subject, have resolved upon publishing the following address to the people of the United Kingdom, as our Political Confession of Faith:- . ".TO THE REFORMERS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. "We hold these truths to be self-e.vident :-That all men are f re -at - L.(l equal; that they are endowed sly their Creator - with certain inalienable rights ; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to .. eeeureethese rights Geyernments are instituted amongst men, deriving then:just rights from the consent of-the governed; that whenever any form of Government becomes deStructive of these ends, it is the right of .the people to alter. or to abolish it, and to institute a new Government, laying its _foundations on such principles, and organising its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness." We hold that the general principles of the Charter are correct and indisputable ; that they he at-the foun dation of all democratic governments ; that they are old as time, immutable as fate, eternal as the hill s, and are at once the pride andbirthright_ . .of the h Unian race. The design of those who framed and published the Charter originally appears to-have been, as set forth in their preamble -" to cause the Radicals of the - United Kingdom to form, if possible, a concentration of their principles in a practical form, upon Which they could be brought to unite, and to which they might' point, as a Charter they are .determined to obtain;" in other words, to induce a union of all Reformers in the empire, for the purpose of effecting a grand naicilaet 1 organic change in the Parliamedtary representation, based upon the principles of the "Equal Rights of Mans" This design, however, thus far has signally failed :---The Charter- has been now three years before the public, and is, we fear; as far from effecting the object designed, as it wasswhen it was first launched into political existence. In the meantime the conduct of some of the Chartist leaders has been strangely ineenaiatent , With " equal rights" upon their lips, they have been practically intolerant to all who differed from them ; with a professed sympathy for the millions ' they have perpetuated their distresses.;; with an avowed hatred of TQrYisillt they have coalesced with and supported Tories ; with ' a claim to superior patriotism, they have been practically the worst enemies of givil liberty. this 'country ever saw ; they have thus alarmed, Aimed, end vilified those whose assistance was indispensable to their success, told aithont whose con currence they had not the slightest shatiovi ofit Chance; they have alienated friends, strengthened enemies, ob- E4rlKtPd practical measures of relief, and have aided to restore that pasty to tho.CO v er,mnent; from which they have not the smallest chance of dislodging it ; a n d yet, with all these merits an d performances 44 full blown, and fresh . as May," affect now to wonder there can be no union between them and the middle classes, when they themselves are the guilty authors of the - separation !

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that th , book was not 1 one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishink them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the few books now coming before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able.—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend- the .work.—Age. The multitude of. books daily coming from the press, same, nay most of them of a very questionable tendency, made. us ex • tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, b een induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita • tinn in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. 'The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, su-h as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of ten.pe rature, 'hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre mely satisfactory. We say ' satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown, that many diseases, such as Pulmonary Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi c'ne, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought to a. favourable a termination as any other class of ffections. We do not think we go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for procidei.g so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so trill) moral a book.—Conservative Journal. We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," &e., to the careful perusal of persons of all classes.

STATE OF TRAIiE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) There was rather less animation in the market yes terday than on the two preceding Tuesdays ; and those spinners and manufacturers, who had de manded further advances lid week, were gener ally content to accept the prices which were then offered but refused. The market, however, is toler ably steady, both in goods and yarn, at a trifling ad vance upon the extreme low rates current about a month ago. In reference to a statement, which ap peared in the Guardian of Wednesday last, on the ex- I port of cottun goods and yarn to China, we have been favoured by a mercantile house in this town with a i'statement of the amount of those exports, as compared with that of the precediog year ; from which it ap pears thvt, in 184:, of white cottons shipped to China, there were 25,436 packages, the declared value of which was 771,589/. ; and, in 1840, 21,284 packages ; doclared value, 684,261/, ; increase in 1841, declared value, 87,3281.

Coln M.P., fte, with his usual libe rality,otrael B transmitted dthe sum of 351. to be Otributed among the poor on his estates, in the parishes of nan, Urray, and Knockbain. This is a very seasonable gift.—Edinburgh Evening Courant, ..... tnents would be infinitely better, inasmuch as they would secure a perfect popular controul without the perpetually ; recurring annoyance and 'excitement of annual elections. As, however, this proposed change as it respects the duration of Parliament, and indeed all the other contem plated alterations in the Charter, are partially based upon, and constantly refer to, the.institutions of America, we will here quote the first-rate authority of an eminent political philosopher, M.. de Tocqueville, as well as the opinions of two of the Fathers of.the Revolution, 'Tamil ton and Jefferson : " The frequent (i.e. annual) elections in America," says M. de Toequeville, "introduce an inevitable mute b'2ity and instability into the laws., lJamilton, and Jef ferson himself; admit and regret theii.fact. Hamilton says, the facility and excess of law-making seem to be diseases to which our Governments are most liable ; the mischievous effects of the mutability in the public coun cils arising from a rapid succession of new Members, would fill a volume. Every new election in the States is found to ,change one-half of the representative:v. From thiS change of men must proceed a change of opinions and of measures, which forfeits the respect and confidence ofother nations, poi Sons the blessings of liberty itself, and diminishes the attachment and reverence of the people to wards a political system which betrays so many marks of infirmity • Jefferson himself (a democrat among demo crats) says in a letter to Madison, the instability 'of - our laws is really a very serious inconvenience.' " Thus it 111PITIS that the master spirits of America, early discovered, from practical experience s that annual Par liaments were fraught with infinitely more inconveniences than advantages, and were, in fact, a "custom more ho noured in the breach than in the observance." De Tocqueville says further, that "In Pennsylvania the Americans after the War of I n d e p en d ence, tr i e d to do without a Senate, or Second House, and endeavoured to carry on with only one House, and Franklin concurred in its propriety ; but (in consequence of the incessant chances of members and measures induced by Annual EleCtions), they were soon obliged to alter their plan and to create two Houses. Thus the theory of the expedi ency of having two Houses, introduced originally by acci dent, like many other important truths, is now admitted and finally established." Again he remarks—" America continues free far more .from its geographical position than from its institutions." Again—" A democracy can only obtain truth as the result of experience and many nations may forfeit their existence whilst they are await ing the consequences 'of their errors." And still further Agitation and mutability are inherent in the nature of democratic Republics." The duration of our English Parliaments appears to have been various, and the circjimstance of their being summoned or dissolved to have dtpended very much upon state exigency, caprice, or accident. Blackstone says, page 152, Booki, c. 2 :—" The Rin g on l y can convoke • a Parliament, and by the ancient statutes of the realm he , 1 Theo remarks are not intended to apply to the Chartists as a body, whose sufferings and privations have our deepest sympathy and commiseration, but only to some of their un principled leaders. fi No property qualification is required at the present time for the Members of Parliament elected by the two Universities, Cambridge or Oxford, or for Members of Parliument for Scot land.

Blackwood and Sons, Edinburgh and London. vated.patriotism, and the highest energies and virtues of the human character, they at the same time frequently foster into vigorous activity the most reckless and profli gate pretenders.* • \Ve, however, are disposed to forget all the political aberrations to which we have referred, to make a proper ,distinetion- between the few who huue wrecked and corn ' prUMised a valuable cause, and the mass of the working classes who demand and who deserve inimediate enfranchgement. We meet as the .legitimate representatives of the Mov. - -ment Party among the middle classes, as ardent friends of progressive liberty, but at the same time as advocates of -social order ; as men who are conscious of the existence of Wide-spread wrong and suffering, which we believe to be the consequence of class legislation ; As men who are anxious for a wide and equitable ex ' tension of popular rights, without wishing to jeopardize the' security of property, or the safety of valuable in stitutions ; as men who while they will resist an arbi trary and selfish Oligarchy on the one hand, will. not, On the other, be p ass i ve or consent i ng too l s to h an d over our country to the horrors of a French revolution. All that the middle classes require, and which they evidently must have, before they lend their resolute and undivided energies to the furtherance of another grand democratic movement, are satisfactory and reasonable guarantees that their assistance, - when afforded, will not be abused ; and that generous and general exertions for the enfranchisement of the millions, will not be the pre lude to the licentiousness and anarchy of revolutionary France, where; after massacres in her streets, and civil war in her provinces, their revolution in favour of liberty ended in the establishment of one of the most gigantic military despotisms that ever existed since the downfal of the _Roman Empire. These views are thus also for cibly stated in a recent number of the Nonconformist : " The labouring classes are destitute of any stake in, the country. They have nothing to lose in a general convulsion of society. Discontented with the station assigned to them by Providence, they want nothing but the power, to put forth their hands against every right which Government secures to us. With the franchise in their hands, and, by consequence, legislation under their controul, property would no longer be safe. Should we invest them with political power, we must prep are ot i r - I selves for a genera l scramble. The dignity of law would be violated —confidence in its protection would be speedily sapped—a carnival of 'the worst pas s i ons o f our nature would be proclaimed —an indiscriminate crusade against all our institutions would be undertaken—a reign of terror would forthwith commence—and universal anarchy would terminate, as it always has done, and always will do, in the establishment of a military despotism." Such unquestionably, are the fears of a large and in fluential proportion of the middle classes, whether well or ill founded we pretend not to decide. All that human wisdom can divine upon the subject, is or ought to be drawn from the experience of the past:—Political power, moral independence, and mental culture, should go together ! Wherever the first has existed independently of the last, the results have been disastrous, whether it has been wielded by the monarch,or the multitude. One of our objects is, to propound a practical scheme of political reform, which, while it is based upon first prin;- ciplesomy is our honest and conscientious conviction, come into immediate operation to-morrow, without the slightest insecurity to life, liberty, or property; this we take 'to . be a desideratum. For this purpose we shall alter the "Charter" where we deem it requisite, but in no one instance, except where such may bethe case. We now enter upon its consideration. It purports to be " An Act to provide f or th e j us t re p resentat i on o f t h e people of Great Britain and Ireland in the Commons House of Parliament." It provides that there should be 1. Annual Parliaments. • 2. Universal Suffrage. 3. Equal Voting Districts. 4. No Property Qualification. • 5. Voting by Ballot, and 6. Payment of Members. We will, in the first place, see to how many of theSe pro• positions we can agree, before we state our objections what remain. We commence, then, with " Equal Voting Districts." Are have no objection 'whatever to this contemplated arrangement. The present voting districts are so un equal and unfair, that almost any change in their ar rangement must be for the better. . " Voting by Ballot." To this we of course make no objection, but will upon every practicable occasion give it our zealous and effective support. "No Property Qualification." Though we do not as practical men entirely agree as to the expediency of this proposition, yet, actin upon the principle with w hi c h we . set out, of agre e in g in - all cases where we can without a compromise of our integrity, or honest convictions, we shall hot insist upon any particular property qual,fication, as a sine qua non. We should however insist that a Member of Parliament (and . a Peer also, if we could) should be at least twenty -fire years of age ; so as to 'far nish- us with reasonable guarantees of his discretion And capacity for his important public trust ; and in this re quisition we are borne out by the example of America, as well as, by the old republics of Gr e e ce an d R ome . A s a matter of choice, we would nnquestionably rather that legislators should be men of some fortune, and at least of middle age—as the first of these accidents would secure a strong personal interest in the security of property, and the second a maturity of judgment as far as age could confer it. • But as we apprehend that " in this old European world of ours," and particularly in our day And generation (other considerations being equal), men of property would alWays be preferred, we leave this clause of the charter untouched ; and pass on to the ‘.‘ Payment of Members."t We agree at once to this proposed arrangement, upon the principle that any one who devotes the whole of his time and energies to the public service, deserves a proper remuneration for his exertions. The 500/. per annum as proposed in 'the Charter, is an equivalent to which we make no:demur ; at the same time it must be understood, that we agree to this proposition on account of its abstract fairness, and not with the design of tempting into the Legislature the political adventurer, or the demagogue ; we furthermore have less objection to this contemplated arrangement in asmuch as it is merely revertingln principle and practice to the ancient usages of the' Constitution. It may not be improper, or out of place here, to quote Sir W. Blackstone, by way of shoWing that the payment of Members is an old Constitational custom, coeval with the House of Commons itself : At page 174, Book 1; c. 2, he says— . " As for the elec tors of Citizens and burgesses these are supposed to be the mercantile part or trading interest of this kingdom. But as trade is of a fluctuating nature, and seldom long fixed in a place, it was formerly left to the Crown to summon, pro re nata, the most flourishing towns, to send representatives to Parliament ; so that as towns in creased in trade, and grew populous, they were admitted to:a share in the Legislature. But the misfortune is, that the deserted boroughs continued to be summoned, as well as those to whom their trade and inhabitants were transferred ; except a few which petitioned to be eased of the expense, then usual, of maintaining their Members, four shillings a day being allowed for a Knight of a Shire, and two shillings for a citizen or burgess ; which was the rate of wages established in the reign of Edwan the Third." The next proposition of the Charter is that of " An. nual Parliaments." We consider that Triennial Puha- is bound to do every year, or oftener if need be. Not that he is, or ever was, obliged by these statutes to call a new Parliament every year; but only to permit a Parliament to sit annually for the redress of grievances, and dispatch of business, if need be. These last words are so loose and vague, that such of our Monarchs as were inclined to govern without Parliaments; neglected convoking them sometimes for a very considerable- period, under pretence that there was no need cl them ; but to remedy this, la. the statute 16 Car. 2d, c. 1, it is enacted, that the sitti ng and. holding of Parliaments shall net be intermitted above three years, at the most ; and by the statute 1 W. and M., st. 2, c. 2, it is declared to be one of the rights of the people, that for redress of all grievances, and for the amending, strengthening, and preserving the laws, Par liaments ought to be held frequently. And this indefi nite frequency is again reduced to a certainty, by Ist 6 W. and M., c. 2, which enacts, as the statute of Charles 2d had done before, that a new Parliament shall be called within three years after the deterrninatioe [l. e. dissolu tion] of the former." And again, Page 189 (Book 1. c. 2), "The utmost extent of time that the same Parliament was allowed to sit, by the sta tute 6, W. and M. c. 2, was three years ; after the ex piration of which, reckoning from the returns of the first summons the Parliament was to have no longer -con tinuance. But by the statute 1 G eo . 1., s t a t ute 2, c. 38 (in order, professedly, to prevent the great and continued expenses of frequent elections, and the violent heats and animosities consequent thereupon, and for the peace and security of the Government then just recovering from the late rebellion) this term was prolonged to seven years; and, what alone is an instance of the vast authority of Parliament, the very same house that was 'chosen for three years, enacted its own continuance for seven. So that, as our Constitution now stands, the Parliament must epire, or die a natural death, at the end of every seventh 'year ; if infitTannei di Ted by theltiVarprerog,ative." It thus appears that at one time annual, at a subse quent period triennial, and still more recently septennial, Parliaments, were equally the custom of the age and the usage of the Constitution. To argue, therefore, that Parliament. should be again annual, because - they have been once annual, is evidently begging the queation, as precedent might as readily be pleaded for triennial, or septennial, as for annual Parliaments. The duration of Parliament is evidently a matter of expediency, not a question of principle ; and must be ultimately settled by public opinion, guided it is to be hoped by the experiene,, of the past—equally avoiding the present great length of the British, and the ephemeral duration of the American Parliaments. The advantage of a knowledge of the past is to teach us what to adopt, and what to avoid. History ought to be the text-book of the politician ; it is philoso phy teaching by example: • As it is impossible, in consideration of this subject, to escape from frequent and almcist perpetual references to a country whose institutions are of a more democratic character thin our own, an d w h ere t h e greatest pol i t i cal experiment is now trying that ever was_ attempted since the world was, we will here briefly quote the recently published opinions of two eminent men, one of Edin burgh, the other of Boston, United States, as to the con duct of the young democracy of America, and the future prospect of the Republic. We will not extract from Hall, Hamilton, or Trollope, or any writer known to be hostile to American institutions ; but from meal whose liberality of sentiment and lit erary reputat i on entitle their opinions to consideration and respect. Mr. Combo says, in the course of a valedictory Ad.; dress to the people of the United States, " I met with few British subjects who, however much they might have advocated Universal Suffrage at home, continued to admire it after experiencing its effects in the United States." Again, " Here you Executive is feeble, and when a general excitement seizes.your people, your laws are as cobwebs in restraining them. You have established Universal . Suffrage, placed supreme authority in the hands of your majorities, and no human means short of military conquest can deprive that majority of its sway. You have chosen public opinion for your chief regulating influence, and it is impossible for you to substitute for it any other. An ignorant public opinion is to the wise and good a revolting tyranny. " In no country which I have visited has such an array of delinquencies, committed by men in confidential pub lic situations, been exhibited, as has met my eye since I came to the United States. " As you - do not wait until your voters, who wield the destinies of your country—who make peace or war—who make and unmake banks—who make and unmake tariffs affecting industry to the core—and who make and un make even your schools, colleges, and churches—l say, as you do not wait until ape has given them wisdom and experience, but place the helm at once in their hands, and allow them to act, while they are still full of young blood, anti all the energy, confidence, and rashness that attend it—you are called on by every consideration to . perfect your schools so as to 'communicate to them the' dictates of a' wiAotn which cannot be dispensed with, and , which Will - not otherwise be attained. " Does your education enable your people to under stand and decide upon them ? [i. e., questions of bank ing and currenby, hard specie and sub-treasury schemes, Sze.] No ! Yet your people act whether they under them or not : they vote the supporters of paper into power, and paper flourishes. If evil ensue they vote the advocates of specie into power ; and paper and credit go" to the wall. They try the experiment. But what an awful experiment ! How mny thousands of individuals and families are ruined by the violence'of every change. " Here you commit power to th e ha n d s o f nearly every man who has attained his majority. Your populatio n doubles every twenty-three or twenty-five years. The actual majority of your voters is probably under thirty-five. or thirty-sir years of age. There is no other country in the world which is ruled by men so young and - So inexpe rienced." , Dr. Channing, of Boston, an eminent writer, whose name belongs alike to the literature and history of his country, in a lett er wr itt en to He nry Cl ay , of Ken tucky, in 1837, on the subject of the Annexation of Texas, says : " In one. respect our institutions have disappointed us all. They have not wrought out for us that elevation of character which is the most precious, and in truth, the only substantial blessing of liberty. " A spirit of lawlessness pervades the community, which, if not repressed, threatens the dissolution of our present forms of society. Even in the old States mobs are taking the law into their hands, and a profligate newspaper finds little difficulty in spring tip multitudes to violence. Men take under their own protection the rights which it is the very office of Government to secure.' The citizen, wearing arms as means of defence, carries with him perpetual proofs of the weakness of the autho rities under which he lives. The substitution of self constituted tribunals for the regular course of justice, and the infliction of immediate punishment in the moment of popular frenzy, are symptoms of a people half re claimed from barbarism. Add to this, the invasions of the rights of speech and of the Press by lawless force, the extent and toleration of which oblige us to believe, that a considerable portion -of our citizens have no compre hension of the first principles of liberty. " It is an undeniable fact, that in consequence of these and other symptoms, the confidence of many reflecting men in our free institutions is very much impaired. Some despair. That main pillar of public liberty, mutual trust - ainongst citizens, is shaken. That we must seek security for property and life in a stronger Government, is a spreading conviction. Men who talk in public of the stability of our institutions, whisper their doubts (per haps their scorn) in private. So common are these ap prehensions, that the knowledge of them has reached Europe. " When you (Henry Clay) and I grew up, what a deep interest pervaded this country in the success of free in stitutions abroad I With what throbbing hearts did we follow the struergles of the oppressed ! How many among us were ready to lay down our lives for the cause of liberty on the earth ! A n d now w h o cares for f r co institutions abroad ? how seldom does the topic pass men's lips ! Multitudes, discouraged by the licentious ness at home, doubt the value of popular institutions, especially in less enlightened countries ; whilst greater number, locked up in gain, can spare no thought o n th e struggles of libe r t y, an d provided they can drive apros perous trade with them, care little whether they are bond or free. " That the cause of Republicanism is suffering abroad through the defects and crimes of our countrymen, is as true as that it is regarded with increased scepticism among ourselves. Abroad, Republicanism is identified with the United States, and it is certain that the Ame rican name has not of late risen in the world. It so happens that whilst writing, I have received a newspaper from England, in which Lynch law is as familiarly asso ciated with our country as if it were one of our esta blishments. When I visited England fifteen years ago, Republican sentiments were freely expressed tome ; I should probably hear none now. 11fen's minds seem to be returning to severer principles of government ; and this country is responsible for a part of this change." We quote these extracts by way of showing that this lawlessness and recklessness, existing in connection with annually recurring elections, and the youth and inex perience of the electoral body, (and, in our opinion, as well as that of American writers, partially induced by both,) impresses reflecting men with a very natural fear that similar results might accompany similar political institutions in the old world ; and makes them therefore anxious, while they contend for Universal Suffrage, to provide such reasonable guarantees, as may secure nil the advantages and blessings of liberty ; without the fear of adarchy or the evils of licentiousness. The next proposition in the Charter that we propose to consider is, " Universal Suffrage." To this we make no objection, only requiring greater guarantees than those set forth in the Charter. As, however, this is a most important feature in the whole Charter—being a question of principle, while all the other conditions are merely modes of applying it, or carrying it into practical operation —we will here state our views with acceracy and precision ; in order that we may not be liable to fu ture misconception or misconstruction. The - Charter sets forth in that part of it where i begins to assume the definite shape and form of an Act of Parliament,--- " That ". whereat' to ensure as far as it is possible by human forethought and wisdom the just Government of the people, it is necessary to subject those who have the power of making the laws to a wholesome and strict responsibility to those whose duty it is to obey them when made, 4n4 whereas this responsibility is best enforced through the instrumentality of a body which emanates directly from, and is itself immediately subject to the e‘ hole people, and which complete ielings and their interests. " And whe g as as the Commons House of Parliame'i now exercises in the name and On the supposed behalf onthe people, the Power of m a ki ng th e l aws , i t oug ht order to T. lfil with wisdom and with honesty the great duties imposed on it, to ,be made the faithful and accurate representation of the people's wishes, feelings, and interests." Be it therefore enacted, " That from and after the passing of .this Act, every male inhabitant of . these realms be entitled to vote fin• the election of a Member of Parliament ; subject, hOwever, ditions : to the following -ton : 1. " That he be _a native of these realms, or a fo reigner who has lived in this c otintry„upwards of 'two years, and been naturalized. 2. " That he be twenty-one years of age. 3. " That he be not proved insane, when the lists of .. voters are revised. 4. "That he be not convicted of felony within six months froni and after the passing of this Act. 5. " That his electoral rights be not suspended for bribery at . elections,. or fir personification, or for forgety of election certifi ca t e s ; eccordiag to the penal ties of this Act. 6. " That he shall have resided six months in the town or district for which he votes, prior to the day of election or registration." This last proviso, as it respects residence; is not pre cieely inserted in this order of place in the Charter, us we think it should have been ; we have, however, in serted it here ourselves, in order to census -nt upon it in due course. Indeed, it seems so intimately bound up with the .other conditions, that we apprehend the non insertion °tit here originally- must have been an oversight. To the first, third, fourth, and fifth conditions, es above, we agree at once, and concur in their propriety ; but to the second and sixth we have objections, and pro pose to superadd in both cases some few qualifying con ditions. We Will begin with the second clause, " That he (the elector) be twenty-one years of age." Instead of this we propose that the clause should read 'thus : " That he, (the elector), be at least' twenty-five years of age." We do this for various reasons. First, in order to se cure a maturity of judgment on the part of the elector ; secondly, on account of the increased chance that a man by this time will have acquired a " local habitation and a name ;" thirdly, on account of the defective state of education in thi s country at pre sen t, w hi c h makes it ne -AsSiii to superadd this arlditione‘e-guarantee- ; . and fourthly, on account of the general f ear among the middle classes of the rashness, inexperience, and reck lessness of young men without family ties, settled habits, or practical experience. •In thus proposing to raise the qualification-age for electors, we do not in the slightest degree interfere with the principle of "equal rights," which we shall, as the free citizens of a free state, keep steadily - in view ; our main objects, are to extend the franchise to an hitherto unprecedented extent, while at the same time .we hope to secure the support of. the middle classes by furnishing guarantees with whi c h th e Moveme n t P arty among them maw be satisfied, and which may induce their general and effective support. As this advanced qualification age may to some appear new and startling, and to others arbitrary or capricious, we propose to show that, hi conferring important poli tical power upon individuals, it has been the custom in all Republican countries, from Athens downwards, to insist upon guarantees, sometimes of age, sometimes of property, and sometimes of both together, before they instrusted their citizens with offices of high trust or responsibility. We propose, further, to show,; that the qualification age for el ec t ors h as been various 'in various States, both ancient and modern, and that. it is at-pre sent different in France and England, Holland and, Belgium.—ln ancient Rome no patrician or commoner could hold any public office until he was twenty-four or twenty-five years of age. The first office he could as pire to was that of Questor, or public treasurer. It lot-- lowed, of course:; 'that he could not hold any higher or more importan oilice,. until he had arrived at a stall more advanced age. A Senator wes obliged to be 25 years of age before he could take his seat. . He must, f urt h er, have previously bo rne some office in the Magistracy, and be seised or possessed of an estate of not less than from 6,000 1 . to 7,0001. A Censul (an officer with almost kingly power) was obliged to be 42 years of age. A Dictator (or ac-teal Emperor, pro tern.) must have first served the office of Consul, and of course must have beial. 43 years old and ;upwards. Augustus made a law(that no man should have the freedom of the city eilthout a. previous examhiation into his merit and character.—ln Athens, a citizen must be 30 years of age - before he was . eligible as a mem b er or j uror of the Relic; or Court o f Judges. Beyond this a citizen must be 50 years of age be fore he had the privilege of haranguing in the Ecciesia, or ' public assemblies, upon State affairs. All the officers of the State and Magistracy were destined by Solon to be fill -from the first three classes of the richer citizens —the fourth, or poorest class, being ineligible to office, but; , having the right o f vot i ng i n the public assernhlieS.— f:ln,Sparta, a citizen was not allowed to take any part in, public business until he was 30 years of age, and then et man of ordinary s t a ti on was thought forwnrd and . pr e sinning wh o intermeddled punch with . politicel affairs. - 4 Spartan was not eligible for elivtion to the :.;mate Until he had passed his 60th year. ---ln Veniee•.(onct of the Republics of the middle ages), no .nuldezaan Could take his.eat or fete in the .

A member of the Cham ber of Depute.; . must he twenty-jive years of age, and pay direct taxes to the amount of Si. - annually. He. is paid for his public services, is bile the Chambers are in sessioe, at the rate of 161. per month. After the Revo 4utioiain Belgium, a National Congress was assembled at Brussels, to settle the Government, consisting of 200 Deputies, who were elected from the various provinces by all tax-paying persons above 25 years of age. .. . In France, b e f ore t h e Revolution of July, an elector was, obliged to be thirty years of agee After that event, in 1831, the qualification age w as re d uced to twentyv,v e years, wher e ,it o now remains, Th ere i s further, a property qualificatif 200 francs required with an elector... At the same time, 1831, the qualification for a Deputy wa s reduced from 40 to 30 years of age; and the property qualification front 1,000 .to 500 francs. No Peer can sit or - vote in the French Chambers until he is 25 'years of age. In England, the tenure of the franchise is arbitrary and various; generally it is a property qualification, but the lowest qualification is that of a freeman, who is en titled to - tote for Members of Boroughs when he has at tained his . 2lst year. . - In America (partially - copied, of course, from English institutions), the electoral qualification is 21 years of age, and six months' residence. 'This latter proviso is, however, sharriefullY violated by both parties. In the general dovernment of America a Representa tive must be 25 years old, a Senator 30, the President 35, and the Vice-President 3.5.—1 n the State of Maine, a senator must be 25 years old, and th p G overnor 30. In the State of M as s a ch u s e tt s , a Senator must be possessed in his own right, of a freehold within the commonwealth, of the -value of 3001. at least, or possessed of personal estate to the value of 600/. at least, or of both, to the amount of the same sum ; and must have been -an in, habitant of the commonwealth for the space of five years immediately preceding his election. The Governor must have been an inhabitant of this commonwealth for seven years preceding, and must be possessed in his own right of a freehold within the commonwealth of 1,000/ 4 and must declare himself of the Christian religion.--Iti Nest • Hampshire, a Senator must be possessed of a. freehold estate, in his own right, of the value of 2001., lying within the State: he must. be 30 years; of age, sial an inhabitant of the State for seven preceding, years. A Representative mast have been an inhabitant of the State for two years, and must have an estate within the .district of the value of 1004; ono half ofwhich mast be a freehold in his own right. The Gov,:roor must.

A Councillor, of whom tliere must be six, for advising the Governor in the exeCtitive part of the Government, must have an estate Of - the value of 5001. ss limn the State; 3001. or more of Whieln must be freehold in hisown right ;he must he thirty years old, and an iuhnbitant of the - State for - seven years ' preceding.—ln the state of New York, the. Governor must be a freeholder, and thirty years old. All electors must have paid a. tax. to the State or county, assessed upon their real or personal property, oamust have per formed military duty in the militia of the State.-.-- Pennsylvania. A Senator must be twenty-five years old, and an inhabitant of the State' four years before his election. The Governor must be at least thirty years of age, and have been a citizen and inhabitant of the State seven years before election. The electors must have paid a. State orcounty tax, and have resided in the State two years before the election. All the other States of the American confederacy have similarly varying provisions respecting the qualification age of their Representatives and Governors, as will be seen on reading the note enumerating the whole at the bottom of the column.* It thus appears that in the most democratic country of the world, the collective wisdom of its sages and politicians have devised numerous guarantees of age and property as security for the conduct, patriotism, and capacity of their public men. We wish sincerely, for the sake of human nature and p u bli c lib erty , t h at they had devised some such guarantee for the probity. of their electors ; then their institutions, both in theory and in practice, might have been the pride and wonder of the world. Our last and concluding example in favour of an ad. winced qualification age, for offices of trust and respon i sibility (and the franchise is a trust of grave and serious ' responsibility), is the evidence of the approbation of the Deity himself, in the only government especially insti tuted under his immediate euperintendenee—we mean the theocracy of the Jews. •Mere, it was ordained by the original appointment of -Moses, that the Levit o es-- • who were priests, scribes, lawyers, &e.—were not to be allowed to enter upon their sacred and peculiar be diis. till they were 25 or 30 years of age, and were . to charged from their performance at 50.
