SPIRIT Or, THE PUBLIC JOURNAL, The men of Cambridgeshire are worthy of their name, and deserve high honour from their country. The majority on Saturday evening for the Reform candidate was 428, after only three days' polling, and when the whole number of votes given had not exceeded 2,942, out of a gross body of freeholders amounting to 4,500. Our report of the proceedings of Saturday will be read with extraordinary interest by both par ties,—the national and anti-national,—who have fixed their eyes alike on Cambrideshire as a test of the stability of public feeling in favour of a redress of grievances, and a remedy for abuses disgraceful to the intelligence, the spirit, and 'moral character of the nation. It is to be ob served, and ought never to be forgotten, when the Tories vaunt of what they will do, or what they have done, that the existing constituency, even in counties, is an unreformed constituency, and so inadequate an organ of the popular will, as to have formed one of the many grounds on which the universal demand for a more enlarged .representation .of the people of England had been called for. Ths limitation of the county franchise to freeholds, as contradistinguishel from copyhold and leasehold tenures, gives a far more extensive power, whether of coercion or of a certain species of persuasion to the oligarchy, than its members could hope to exercise under an enlargement of the qualification, which would add, perhaps, as many more voters to each county as those who now elect its representa tives. What, for instance, could the two Lords of Rutland and Hardwicke attempt with a constituency of 9,000 votes for Cambridgeshire, when they now seem likely to be defeated in managing only half the amount ? However, though promising, the progress of the struggle or its issue is not vet secure. A majority of 428, though a "comfortable breakfast," as some body said, of " hope," is but a " scanty supper." Our honest brethren of the Reform breed must set all sail, or the pirate vessel may escape them. If we find, indeed, after a busy day's polling, that Mr. Townley's majority at four this evening reaches to 856, which is double the actual figure, there may be some relaxation of the strained sinews of patriotism, and some indul gence from the fatigues of this critical, and we trust final, struggle, but not while the most dis tant chance remains of Captain Yorke's recover ing his ground. While the example set by one or two great colleges of the University merits the applause and imitation of all the Cambridge shire clergy, we would recommend it to a certain meddling personage at Queen's, to beware of what he is doing. Our reporter speaks of a gentleman (not the respected head of Queen's College) tampering with the fears of trades men, and threatening them if they 0.0 not sell their votes that they shall not sell any thing else. Is flagrant corruption of this nature to he passed by without even official censure? We trust not, for it involves the fame and honour at once of the Church and the University. At the same time let us remark, that tradesmen being a sort of " tenants at will to their cus tomers, we would recommend the above prece dent of the abuse of power over those who can not help themselves, to the consideration of those Hon. Members of the House of Commons who voted for the clause of my Lord Chandos, giving votes to tenants living at their landlords' mercy. It is gratifying to perceive with what sagacity as well as energy the reformers of other parts of England identify the cause of Cambridge with their own. A subscription has been en. tered into by the inhabitants of Stroud, in Glou cestershire, and 100/. handsomely forwarded to Townley's Committee. This ought to be come general. It affords a magnificent sample of that re-action with which the boroughmongers taunt us. Another day, we earnestly trust, will set Mr. Townley high and dry above all attempts from the salt-water Tory that opposes him.— Times. The utter hopelessness of the boroughmonger faction is visible in the wretched shifts which they have recourse to. If there be one Tory objec tion on record against the Bill that has been more frequently and thoroughly repeated than any other, it is that of its assumed tendency to injure the agricultural interest ? What is the agricultural interest ? Is it that of the landlords, or of the farmers ? Suppose the corn law were to be repealed to-morrow, what would be the consequence ? Why, that rents in sonic parts of England would fall. Is that a circumstance which the farmers ought to regret ? No—nor the landlords neither. The former would have less to pay; and what the latter received would go further in the maintenance of their families. But how do the direct provisions of the Bill affect the interests of the land ? All sorts of landed property would, under it, be admitted to the right of election, whereas at present only one species, viz., that of freehold, has the right. The counties receive an addition of between sixty and seventy representatives. Is that nothing for the landed interest ? The small towns are to return Members to the House of Commons, the choice of whom will be made by persons all of whom must derive their qualifications from the lords of the soil. Is that no boon to the " landed interest ?" The representatives of such towns will invariably be chosen by the occupiers of land and houses, with a substantial interest in each ; not like the pre sent pot-wallopers, who have no definite inte rest any where; nor like the freemen drawing their qualifications from apprenticeships, who have no connection with the land. The ridi cule of the thing is that Mr. Baring and others abused the Bill for giving too much to the land, and taking away from the commercial interest all chance of getting into Parliament by virtue of their money. Who is right when opposite ob jections are started ? In our opinion neither. There h, to be sure, one branch of the farming interest but scurvily treated by the last Bill. It was, however, the Bill as amended by the disin terested motion of Lord Chandos. The Noble Marquis did not like that independent tenants with leases for years, should be qualified as elec tors. He therefore moved, aye, and carried his motion, that tenants, who were slaves at their landlord's mercy, not having any leases at all, should have votes ; that is, that they should be compelled to vote at their landlord's dictation or be ruined. This was the famous " tenant at will" clause, brought in by the heir of the Duke of Buckingha m , whose estates are occu pied almost exclusively by that very description of tenant. Has ! the silly cuckoo note of the "agricultural interest" being menaced, is already no longer listened to : Captain Yorke may as well hold his tongue--Times. It may be sufficient to refer to an extract which we have made frOm a. Morning Paper to establish adequate p'recedents for , dismissin g such Lords-Lieutenant of counties as lately vote d against the Reform Bill, •Oi still persist in their hostility to the great measure which the Crown supports. The occasion, about fifty years ago, when several Lords-Lieutenant were removed from their situations because they voted against the Administration of the day, was not to be compared in importance to the present crisis. Neither the Ministry nor the King could then attach such consequences to a vote, or require so exclusively the exercise of all the influence which the Crown can command. Yet so strong was the conviction in the Administration that a Lord-Lieutenant should not be permitted sys tematically to oppose the king's Government, that two Noble Lords, who, unlike Lord Howe, had resigned the office of Chamberlain to the Queen on account of their opposition, were commanded likewise to surrender the honour of representing his Majesty in the provinces of his Kingdoms The Ministry of that time, without being actuated by any morbid de licaby towards their adversaries, or caring any thing about threats of future investiga tion, cleared the counties of such chiefs as resisted their measures in Parliament. Other aamples have since occurred of the dismissal of Lords Lieutenant, because they incurred the displeasure or excited the suspicion of the Government. What shall wo then say of the retention in their places of thirty-three of these high and right honourable functionaries, who not only oppose the expressed will of the King and the declared purposes of the Mi nistry, but the vote of the House of Com mons,—the obvious interests, and the almost unanimous desires of the nation ? Some of these Noble and Right Hon. antagonists of Reform, as if to combine the honours of the Crown against itself, accumulate in their single persons or families the Lieutenancy of several counties. Thus we find the Duke of Beaufort at the head of Gloucestershire, Monmouthshire, and Brecon. Earl Powis is Lord Lieutenant of Shropshire, and his son, Lord Clive, of Mont gomeryshire ; while Sir W. W. Wynn enjoys the honour of representing the counties of Denbigh and Merioneth, and the Earl of Lons dale commands in Cumberland and Westmore- land. Is this a time for permitting the enemies of the Administration to enjoy the favours of the Crown, and to oppose the great measure of Reform, in which the King, the Ministry, and the nation, are so deeply interested, with all the influence of their high office ?—Times. As the Caledonian Church in Regent-square has unfortunately attracted too much attention within the last two or three weeks, both from the religious and irreligious part of the public, some curiosity was yesterday felt about the re newal or discontinuance of those frantic exhi bitions to which the Reverend Pastor had pre viously lent encouragement, and the defence of which he has not yet relinquished. A con siderable crowd of strangers, therefore, swelled the multitude of his usual hearers in expectation of a second display of religious insanity, if not of the recurrence of a second Pentecost. Happily , Or the nerves and feelings of the sober part of the audience, the pretended spirit which presides over the oracular gifts of the chapel was not in a humour for exerting himself, and neither "cloven tongues" were seen nor other tongues heard ex cept that of Mr. Irving himself. One poor madman, a stranger to the congregation, did in• deed claim a hearing, but his gifts not having been previously passed in review, by the Rev. Pastor, he was stopped as a profane brawler, in stead of being allowed to proceed as an inspired prophet. This unseasonable interruption was an accident, it is true, to which any con gregation is sometimes exposed ; but was not the maniac, whoever he may be, attracted to Mr. Irving's chapel, by hearing that it was a bedlam in which he might exercise his noisy calling as well as the other professors of " un known tongues" who had got the spiritual coun tenance of the reverend superintendent ? So long as one lunatic is permitted to break in upon the solemn devotions of a religious assembly, with unintelligible mummeries at which Catholics would have blushed in the darkest periods of Popish superstition, another may think he has the same right,—and who is to decide the ques tion between them but the mad patron of one of the madmen ? The former may declare that the one is inspired, and the other possessed; but good Christians, who believe neither in mo dern inspiration nor possession, will derive no indemnity for the agitation of their feelings, and the disturbance of their devotions, from his vo ciferous assurance that he is able to discern spi rits, and can vouch for the heavenly credentials of his favourite. As we have before stated, these frantic exhibitions have already gone too far, and ought to be stopped. The Caledonian Church was not built for a miracle-shop. The subscribers who supplied the funds for the construction of that elegant place of worship, and the trustees who became security for their honest application, never contemplated the appropriation of the edi fice to the vociferatious of persons who ought rather to have their heads shaved than their tongues unloosed. These trustees will, there fore, neglect their duty to the public and to them selves, if they do not immediately command these pretended miraculous nuisances to cease— or shut up the church so profaned, and sell the build ing for the benefit of the fund for which its surplus proceeds were ultimately destined.— Times. It is somewhat inconsistent in Journals which continually assert that the whole people are in favour of the Ministerial plan of Reform, while it is opposed only by a contemptible number of Aristocrats, to urge, as they are doing at present, the formation of political unions, and the or ganisation of national guards, for the purpose of ensuring the triumph of a cause which, upon their own showing, is already certain of success. If the King be sincerely resolved to support the Ministers in carrying an efficient Bill of Reform, and if the Ministers act in a manner that de serves the confidence of the people, for what purpose are the people to arm—and with what enemy are they to contend ? The people have hitherto fought the battle of Reform with the con stitutional weapons, which, in the hands ofa united nation, are irresistible. From one end of the kingdom to another they have expressed their opinion in city, county, town, and parish meet ings. Thence addresses to the throne and pe titions to Parliament have made their sentiments on Reform known in language too energetic to he ur heeded, and too unequivocal to be misun derstood. These petitions and addresses, which embody the feelings and the opinion of the country, are the constitutional weapons, which, with the assistance of a House of Commons, con fessing its own corrupt state, which a large mea sure of Reform alone can purify, must ensure the complete and yeaceful triumph of the na tional cause. Why, then, should the people be called upon to descend from the moral 'van tage ground which they now so judiciously oc cupy, and take i up a position w h ere t h e autho rity o f r eason s likely to be subverted by the ascendency of the bayonet ? We recollect that last year, when the Duke of Wellington was in office, one of the Journals, now most clamorous for a national guard, directed some furious tirades against the organisation of a national guard in France immediately after the revolution, which so justly expelled a dynasty that struck down the laws, and madly drew against the people the sword of military power. We recollect that Journal to have asked " how that was to be called public liberty which was suspended on the points of 800,000 bayonets ?" We vindicated the necessity for a national guard in France, because that country, which had just passed through the fire of a revolution, and had every reason to apprehend that the despotic Powers of the Continent would combine for its invasion, absolutely required, both for the preser vation of its internal peace, and its security from foreign aggression, that it should be placed in the best possible position of armed defence. A consti tutional Monarchv,just established upon the ruins of a despotism, and placed in the midst of Carlists, Imperialists, and Republicans, could not be better protected than by a citizen-force that had an interest in the preservation of those liberties which had been just purchased with the blood of the bravest and the best of their her o i c countrymen. Besides, if it were necessary that the regular army should take the field, and no thing but the Polish insurrection prevented an invasion of France before this time, the national guards would be indispensable to perform mili taryduty in their absence, and to train soldiers to reinforce the troops of the line. These cir cumstances made it proper, and even necessary, that France should then extensively organise a National Guard ; but none of these circum stances apply to England. For what purpose, then, should we have either Political Unions or a National Guard England has not just been shaken to the centre by a revolution which has made it necessary to reconstruct, amid the most terrific dangers, the elements of society ;—Eng land is not menaced with the sanguinary aggres sion of banded despots, for it seems, from the course of her diplomacy, both with regard to Belgium and Poland, that her Government has a most sympathetic correspondence of feeling with the Cabinets of those despots;—England is not divided into powerful factions, like those of the Carlists, Imperialists, and Republicans, for the Journals that call for a National Guard tell us that the people are, with the exception of an insignificant few, unanimous in their ad hesion to the Reform Bill. In fine, England fears neither foreign aggression nor internal force, except what the constabulary power is capable of dealing with, and, therefore, there is no reason why her citizens should leave their peaceful pursuits, and have recourse to the dangerous avocation of arms. The English are essential a commercial and agricultural, not a military people. Corrupt and wicked Governments led the nation into the wars against America and France, which have so seriously weakened her resources, and en tailed so much taxation, distress, and misery on her population. Let not our Statesmen or our Journalists endeavour to inoculate the people with that martial virus which is dangerous to the maintenance of peace, and pestilent to the interests of humanity. If the people are united in the cause of Reform, they want no arms but those which reason and justice supply. If, on the other hand, they are divided, to put the weapons of war in their hands is to tempt them from the bloodless contentions of the hustings, and the constitutional struggles of county as semblies and town-halls, to the sanguinary con flicts of civil commotion ; for it is not easy to prevent blood from flowing when men quarrel with mortal weapons in their hands. They are no sincere friends to Reform who reject the peaceful energy of reason, and invoke the aid of bayonets, terror, and revolutionary force.— llorning Herald. Our readers will see, from a report of the Cambridgeshire election, that Mr. Townley gained considerably on his adversary on Satur day._ The numbers at the close of the poll were for Mr. Townley 1,685 ; Captain Yorke 1,257: majority in favour of Mr. Townley 428; so that Mr. Townley gained no fewer than 202 on the Saturday's poll. Thus, in spite of the combina tion of the families of Yorke and Manners, the aid derived from the Lord Lieutenancy, the University, the Clergy, &c., the Reform candi date has already gained a great majority over his opponent ! It is highly creditable to the men of Cambridgeshire that they have come forward in so spirited a manner, and that their exertions have risen with the demands for them. When we consider what preparations have been made fbr some time past by the Anti-Reformers, and the extent of the power opposed to the people, against which the Reformers have to struggle, we are inflined to think very highly indeed of the exertions of the latter on this occasion.— Cambridgeshire may well be proud of this triumph. We were struck by a characteristic trait in Captain Yorke's speech on Friday. On the Thursday, a Dr. Lamb had made a very powerful speech in favour of the Reform can didate, in which, speaking of the Refbrm Bill, he observed— " It had been thrown out by the votes of 199 here- ditary Peers, and it was with sorrow and shame he said it, by the votes also of 21 Bishops.—(Cheers.) Yes it was, he would repeat, with sorrow and shame, that he found 21 I3ishops banded together to deprive the people of their just and legitimate rights." _ _ On this Captain Yorke remarked— " That when a Rev. Gentleman came forward in the habit of his order, and held the language that had been held by the Rev. Dr. Lamb, that he should he suffered to exist in the Church of England was a frightful degrada tion to the Establishment to which he belonged.—(Much disapprobation.) Was such a man a fit instructor for the youth of England ? Was it from such a men that they ought to learn the truths of the Gospel.—(Cries of " Yes, yes, for be tells the truth.") This is a rich exhibition. We know of nothing equal to it, except the declaration made some years ago in the House of Lords by Lord Eldon, that he could not bring himself to be lieve the Slave Trade was irreconcileable with the Christian religion, as the Bench of Bishops had uniformly sanctioned, by their votes, the various Acts authorising the Slave Trade. Cap tain Yorke, very probably, never read a line of the Gospel in his lire. With him Gospel means ma w. He has no idea that the Gospel enjoins self-denial, brotherly love, charity—that it con demns false swearing, bribery and corruption, and living on the spoil of others. The Gospel, with him, is a richly endowed Church, and the object of religion is to enable a certain number of men to wallow in wealth and luxury, in re turn for the base subserviency they display in the support of profligacy and corruption, and the opposition they give to every measure calculated to improve the people, and to secure to them the enjoyment of their rights and liberties. He seems to have been quite unprepared for the exception taken by his audience to his notions of the Gospel ; and being a man of the world, he would haidly have urged to the people a pal; pable absurdity, had he been aware of it. If he bad known that the Gospel expressly declares that rich men cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven, and that the yeomen of Oatnbridgeshire must have read in it, the strict prohibition of all the dis honest practices to which the Reform Bill would put an end, but which the Bishops wished to continue, he never would have made it a charge against Dr. Lamb, that he had departed from the Gospel in censuring the vote of the Bishops. How little the men of Captain Yorke's caste know of the people of England ! The very circumstances which endear the establishment to Captain Yorke, anti men like him, render it un palatable to the people. The secularity of the Church is all that Captain Yorke sees in it of any value ; the people wish for Pastors to teach them tile way that leadeth unto life, and whose example may serve to add force to their doc trines, and not Baron-Bishops, intent only on the acquisition of wealth by subserviency to power. The man of the people turns with loathing from the bloated pluralist, and exclaims with the fervid author of the Corn Law Rhymes— " Oh, for a Saint, like those who sought and found, For conscience sake, sad homes beyond the main, The Fathers of New England, who unbound, In wild Columbia, Europe's double chain ; The men whose dust cries—' Sparta, live again !'— The slander'.l Calvinists of Charles's time Fought, and they won it, Freedom's holy fight. • No servile doctrines, such as power approves, They to the poor and broken-hearted taught ; With truths that tyrants dread, and conscience loves, They wing'd and barb's! the arrows of their thought; Sin in high places was the mark they sought. They said not, ' Man, be circumspect, and thrive ! Be mean, base, slavish, bloody, and prevail !' Nor loth the Deity they worship'd drive His four-in-hand, applaud a smutty tale, Send Members to the House, and us to gaol; With zeal they preach'd, with reverence they were heard ; For in their daring creed, sublime, sincere, Danger was found, that parson-hated word ; They flatter'd none—they knew nor hate nor fear, But taught the will of God—and did it here." It used to be fashionable to say Religion is a very good sort of thing for the lower orders—it must be encouraged ; but they who used this slang, forgot that the very religion of which they invoked the aid would strike at the very root of the corruption for the sake of which the aid was wished. It is not among the moral and religious people of this country that Captain Yorke will find the Gospel of himself and the Bench of Bishops in good odour.—Morning Chronicle. We trust that in all cases in which, as in Cambridgeshire, the Representative of the Crown is found exerting himself to procure the return of Members hostile to measures proposed by the Government, and approved of by the people, an example will at once be made of him. Minis ters owe it to the Crown, and to the people, to exact a strict account from all those to whom authority is delegated, of the manner in which it is exercised. It is injustice towards the people, to overlook at a crisis like this, any abuse of de legated authority. A house divided against it self cannot stand. if those to whom authority is given by the Crown use that authority against the Crown, are we to be astonished that its power is impaired ? Government in matters of this kind are not justified in being liberal. A trust is reposed in them, which they are bound to exe cute in the way best calculated to further the public service. Why was the last Parliament dissolved ? In order that the sense of the people might be taken on the measure of Parlia mentary Reform. But if the Lord Lieutenants of counties, and the magistracy and clergy are hostile to the measure, and use their influence in obtaining the return of Members who share their sentiments, how can it be said that the sense of the people is taken ? With this heavy drawback, the wonder is that the people were able to do so much. We certainly were not surprised that Dorsetshire should be unequal to a second struggle with all the local authorities and influence in the hostile scale ; but we are most agreeably surprised to find that the people of Cambridgeshire are triumphing in so noble a manner, with every local authority against them. The power of the executive is as necessary for the good of the people, as the responsibility of the executive to the representatives of the people. To allow time power of the executive to be im paired by the opposition of part of those to whom its authority is delegated, is to allow that which is utterly unconstitutional. The idea of the King's Lieutenant thwarting the King is therefore monstrous. It is as bad as mutiny in an army. The precedents cited by us on Satur day, show that former Administrations were not so fastidious as the present in displacing Lord Lieutenants on account of votes in Parliament. These precedents ought to be acted on.—Morn ing Chronicle. A meeting takes place this day at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, at which the fearful project of organizing the lower orders of the people in armed associations i is to be proposed fo r adop tion. The object n view has already been an nounced with sufficient candour by the leading Radical Journal, according to which armed as sociations are necessary, in order not only that property may be protected from the violence of the mob, but that those who oppose themselves to the rights of the people may not go un punished ! In other words, it is proposed to shoot or sabre all who venture to take part against the Reform Bill. Awful is the responsibility of those in whom originate such counsels, and of Ministers who, in their desperation, have sown seeds of dissension, the hour of whose ripening we tremble to believe must come. For there is still a party, a numerous and undaunted party, to whom the institutions of their country are dear, and who will not shrink from de fending them. Their course is certain. When we hear the heads of our church calumniated, vilified, and insulted, because, like men of ' honour, they were noble-minded enough to do their duty—when we see the Bishop of Lon don prevented by a set of miscreants (for no bet ter character can men desetve who would make the House of God an arena for political strife) from preaching the very gospel which we cherish and profess—when we behold the hero of our country, the unconquered warrior, the exalted statesman, scoffed at by the crowd, denounced by the democracy, and insulted by thousands for whose welfare he has so often fought and conquered—when we hear the most sacred in stitutions of the country threatened with destruc tion, and the Aristocracy of England—an Aris tocracy which has for ages proved the best de fence of British honour and of British gl ory _ stigmatised as tyrannical, and designated as un worthy to maintain its privileges—when we be hold all that is evil and theoretical promulgated, all that is good and established despised—and, above all, when we hear the organs of the Mi nistry urging the supporters of that Mi n i stry to resort to arms against their opponents—then do we feel it our duty to respond to the cry, and address the Tories of England in a simila'r strain. " Form yourselves into associations I frame them on a principle of military hierarchy, capable of resorting to arms in case of attacks by tumultuous mobs on persons, habitations, or I goods, but not appearing or .acting as armed bodies until self-preservation or the protection of neighbours shall require it of you !" Such, Tories of England, is our advice to you ; so should you act the very moment you hear of one associat►on or one Political Union adopting the proposed measures. That the Church of Eng land cannot be overthrown, nor its just rights trampled upon, without the shed d►ng of blood, is certain ; that the Aristo cracy of England cannot be deprived of their legal privileges, nor the House of Peers of its legislative authority, without the shedding of blood, is certain ; that the Tory spirit of Eng land, a spirit which is ever closest to the Mo narch's Throne, faithful to the real interests of the country, staunch to the Church, and firmly attached to the Aristocracy, cannot be con quered without the shedding of blood, is certain. Dare the Government risk it ? Will the Re formers insist upon it ? If they do, which God forbid, it will be found that there are yet, even yet, thousands of stout hearts and unflinching arms in England ready to be uplifted in defence of that Church and that Aristocracy ; and that there are those who would rather die with the loss of national honour and of all they value, than live to forfeit those sacred rights which they inherit from their fathers, and which they feel bound by every tie to bequeath unsullied to their children. Hear us, my Lord Grey ! hear us, my Lord Brougham ! for we know that we speak the sentiments of millions.—Morning Post. Reverting once more to the great meeting which is appointed to be held this day at the Crown and Anchor (but which we have no doubt will find it necessary to adjourn to a place of' greater extent), for the purpose of laying the foundation of a great "National Union," and adopting such other steps 'as the present critical condition of the country may demand, we con sider it a duty of the most imperative and bind ing nature to recommend not only to all house holders—to all who are to be enfranchised by the Reform Bill—to all who have any stake in the country—any interest in preventing a con vulsion, or any desire to promote the progress of Reform, to attend the meeting, if possible, but, at all events, to become members of the Union, whose objects are as pure and praise• worthy as the " Union" itself, when fully fbrmed, will certainly promote the carrying of Reform, and decisively and surely maintain the tranquillity of the country. The objects of the Union, the prospectus of which we gave on Sa turday, are threefold, as expressed in the follow ing extract,—first, to ensure the carrying of the Reform Bill ; secondly, to ensure the peace of the country ; and, thirdly, to promote the inte rests of the working classes. OBJECTS OF THE UNION. " 1. To obtain a full, free, and effectual representation of the People in the Commons House of Parliament. " 2. To support the King and his Ministers against a corrupt faction, in accomplishing their great measure of Rirliainentary Reform. " 3. To join every well wisher to his country, from the richest to the poorest, in the pursuit of such an important object. " 4. To preserve peace and order in the country, and to guard against any convulsion, which the enemies of the people may endeavour to bring about. " 5. To watch over and promote the interests, and to better the condition of the Industrious and Working Classes. " 6. To give opportunities by frequent public discussion for eliciting the best means by which the above objects may be carried into execution." These articles, forming the basis of the Union, appear to us, if carried fully into effect, to com prise every object with which the " Union" ought to busy itself, or which demands at pre sent the immediate attention of the public ; and for all of them we have Ho hesitation in stating our opinion that the " Union" is indispensably necessary. The Birmingham Political Union exercised a just and salutary influence, not only upon the late general election, but also upon the conduct of one House of Parliament, at least, during the discussion of the Bill ; and is not this a reason why the metropolis should not only take example from it, and form a similar Union, but why also it should put itself at the head of a grand national movement, and by its earlier intelligence of the move ments of the Anti-Reformers, and greater cen trality, give that unity to the proceedings of all the provincial Unions which is the only thing wanting to ensure the triumph of the Bill ? Whatever may have been formerly the opinion as expressed of the Peers to listen to the voice of reason and justice, there is no one now, we presume, so idiotic as to imagine for a moment that they will pass the Reform Bill, unless they are fairly out-voted by a large addition to the Peerage, or witness the whole population of the country arrayed against them, and determined to adopt all and every step which might become indispensably necessary were the Bill to be re l i - jected a second time—namely, to do that for themselves which other would not do for for them, and, like the Barons of old, as sert their title to that which they had at first only sought as a grace. We say, there fore, continue to unite in order that the Bill, with all its salutary provisions, may be come the law of the land—and combine and unite also, we say, that a national convulsion, hideous in its effects, and whose consequences no human wisdom can foresee, may be prevented —that the King's subjects may be safe from violence, and that the intentions of those who, under the guise of Reform, are only seeking a blood revolution, and a universal attack upon property, may be defeated. The Anti-Refor mers put forth long ago a prospectus of their plan of campaign, with a list of the officers who might be relied on, to carry their intentions into effect ; and however much it is to be deplored, it is ne.Tertheless a fact, and a fact publicly announced some time ago by the Westminster Review, that there is a portion of the population of the country which is bent on spoliation and rapine—that that portion is peculiarly liable, from its deplorable ignorance, to be acted upon, or rather to be made a handle of, by the boroughmonfferina b faction, and that faction is daily labouring to convert its intended excesses to its own base purposes. Is not union therefore necessary— nay, is not union an imperative and sacred duty —and not only union, but, in case of need, an armed union, regularly trained to military exer cises, and capable, by its discipline and its in terest in preserving the tranquillity of the country, of overawing those whose interest it is to destroy it ? With regard to the last object of the Union,—who is there so blind to the interests of the country, and so insensible to the voice of humanity, as not to be desirous of promoting an amelioration of the condition of the working classes ? None but the Anti-Reformers ; and we, therefore, depre; cate any special discussion of this subject at the meeting to-day. The subject is more fit for the investigation of a Committee, and ought to be referred to a mixed commission, not only on that account, but also because a variety of opi- nions are entertained on the subject, no benefit could be derived from a p► cussion, until a Committee had reds main object to a suitable form for a cision. We trust this hint will not be away upon the meeting, the division upon any question would be a decided to the boroughmongers.
