Itwas, formerly, held by the whigs, that French con, nexion was.calculated to debase the character of the peo ple with servility and other bad qualities ; better persons than whigs felt it was of a nature to injure the religion and morals of the general community. Has it lost its tendency to produce such appalling evils ? Change has ugly given the people close communion with France for antipathy to her, and powerful motives for imitating her in place of contrary ones! We need not waste time in speculation, vvlieti a glance at daily fact is sufficient for rimoving all uncertainty. Any tyranny, however atro cious it may be, which the whig government may. exer cise against the most sacred things in the realm, proVided it do not reach the multitude, is not only submitted to, but els - 4.erly lauded by both the people and the whig part of the upper classes,..—by•the country at large. - This is not :l he less niean and despicable submission to tyranny, loathsome and wicked. love of it, because the chain is only rivetted on the better ranks, and the blow is struck at the heart-instead of sin.of national freedom. The cry-is no longer for the equal .rights and liberties of _England, , for the laws and institutions of England, for the defence of all Englishmen alike against the assaults and encroach ments the government; no, it has degenerated into an outlandish invocation fur the 'suppression of these rights and liberties, the extinction of these lawsand institutions, the government to trample on every obligation and limit, for the purpose of filling the empire with confiscation, oppression and bondage. Every f rac ti on o f t hi s pre sents evidence of .French extraction. Your writers of newspapers and pamphlets for the ministry and people watch and adopt French invention as sedulously as your dress-makers. Your fabricators of political handker chiefs and farthing tracts for the rabble, cannot bear any thing English, : even in name; they must have their two chambers instead of houses of parliament, make the peers nominally as well as virtually elective for life, and be French both within and without in all things. Speak of John Bull! he is defunct and buried, riot even excepting the riotous radical parts. of him; and a skinny, ricketty, griiming, capering, crazy Frenchman has crept into his garments. Peace be to his ashes; and let, at least, my grief consecrate them, for he was my parent ! 'The wietchedmimickry naturally extends very far beyond mere politics. French:democracy *ars as much against priests as nobles, therefore, so must the English; French repub licanism,is engrafted. on infidelity and contempt for the leading civil-sources of morals, and of course the English must be so likewise. Your English democrat, in his philosophic devotiqn to - French example, can as little.eri dure an : established church as an effective peerage; .and he feels. he slavery of believing in the scriptures and ob serving the Sabbath to be.as indefensible as that of being restrained from domineeringuver all constituted autho rities : his liberty, alike comprehensive and daring, must place him above his God as well as his earthly ruler. Thus, with the principles and feelings on which the con stitution of England stands, those which make society endurable, and preserve it from dissolution, are swept away.—From an Article in Fraser's Magazine, entitled hi,; Foreign Policy." FREE TRADE AND RECIPROCITY. Whig ingennity, has brought to light, in these inven tive days,.that the ,friendship and alliance will gain us boundless commercial intercourse with France. It is full time, for the wretched snare thus laid for national cupidity to receive due exposure. In bungling telly a n d impu dent deception, it is perfectly unique. Men like Sir H. Parnell and Dr. Bowring are exported, not, alas ! for foreign consumption, but to negotiate a commercial trea ty, or , something similar, with France. What English iiiterests do such men conceive they have under their protection ? None whatever. Stuffed to bursting with the warring dogmas and shallow.sophistries of such pub lications as the Wes*rainster Review, they are convinced that every demand:France can by possibility make, -Eng landought to satisfy-for her own benefit. Speak of 'pro tecting your silk and glove trades, distill er i es , or any thing else 1 Absurd ; they know you ought to p ro t ee t n )thing; theirs is the love of negotiation made easy ; they can only comply, and sacrifice.

Frenchman, - is,---0, yes, kind sir, you ought to 'have it as a gift, for the sake Qf enriching the country we act for. flow-prodigiously have difficult matters been simplified ! Nevertheless, the sage negotiators—baronet and. doctor, book-makers, and political economy tutors, though they be,—find difficulties. Trey are unhappily shipped without their bale of eqniYa lents. 'Why ? Because their sage masters have giverlaway all beforehand. French silks,—French all things, even down to French verdigris, are already admitted, and no such bale can be manufactured. Anxious to concede every thing, theirs is the cruel fate of having nothing to concede- They knock at Monsei.u.e.s gate in the.hamble; Ch trader of beggars ; and he is not to be mystified by them, even'if they ply him with the.baronet's ponderoms figares, or the doctor's melodious stanzas. Impenetrable as adamant to-both arithmetic and rhyme,.he gives them the yithering answer,—You have nothing to • offer in ,ex change ; and I.sell, but never give. Beseeched, he thus, with characteristic dexterity, addresses the suppliants,— You have still duties on Prench brandy and silks, anti until .they are reduced I shall withheld my alms; then you may possibly taste my bounty. The inendicants - send -this home, and of course matters are put in train for com plia lee. .It is gravely announced, that the silk traske.will . be nagely benefitted .by a ofluction. of protecting duty; arid tuat a retitle -ion of the duty on brandy will gain an immense trade with. France. NQW, in vvhatis . this boasted trade to consist ? Will France take our cottons, . wool lenA, and' hardware, or our leading colonial - productions.?

On the a r ti c l e or t wo w hi c h s h e pre t en d s 0 4 e may admit, the duties are to be in a great measure prohibitory; and the object is to cheapen some of her productions, that she may be the b et t er a bl e to compete ;tti us in others. she avows ; and she avows far ther, that in so far as _she cannot compete. with us, she ) 01411 adeere to. her system of prohibition.—Frans at{ ar ticle inEntivi's enittlei'Whig Pqrcian CORRESPONDENCE. DELUSIVE EXPECTATIONS. Beforra instant or gradual,”" That's the Question." TO TIIR EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL ST✓INDARD. Sta,- 7 -The sequel of the story will show the reason of the title. Finding this morning, from a conversation had with one of the members of our society, that an impression has been made, by, a gentleman in Mr. Thornely's interest as a canvas ser, that by voting for Mr. Thornely all the reforms requisite and necessary are to be accomplished " at one fell swoop;" and when I came to ,inquire of the person if he had considered the matter over, and marked the distance in the three follow ing particulars, he confessed his amazement at himself that he could have been so easily hood Winked. ,said I, you do not mean by reform the destruction of your country's constitution, bct only an amended Administra tion, because there would'be just as much sanity in that, as if, on the discovery of some delinquences in your servant, you were to throw up housekeeping and turn yourself and family into the streets, instead of dismissing the servant. Therefore reform must be gradual. " Yes, certainly," exclaimed the astonished man. Then, as to slavery, you say he is to be instantly freed, and what then is to be the constitution under which he is to be placed? will you tell me ? for he knows.little or nothing of the relations of social life; he knows little or nothing of the laws - of God, and still less of the constitution or laws of his country. Would yOu, now, like him, fora neighbour ?" " Certainly not." " Then reform 'mist be gradual?" " Yes." " Then, as to the reform of the church : Because all its mi nisters, you think, are neither so holy themselves„ nor as use ful to the community as is to be wished, would you turn them, then, instantly to the right about, aud shut up all the churches?" The reply, as before, "No." "Then reform must be gradual?" " Yes." I will not swell the account with additional particulars, all of the same kind, though it were easy. The above are as good as a thousand, to show you what a little covert obsequiousness can do, especially when clad in the habiliments of a Quaker, and operating upon winds, too, totallyunused to politics; nay, upon whose uniform obedience the injunction is passed,— " Study to be quiet and do your own business." Now, as the poor man's mind was quite changed as to the misty phantom of instant reform, which is really arrant non sense ; and he was thankful_ at being saved from subsequent pain of mind, in being thus carried away with guile, if you can find a corner in the Standard, and agree with me in thinking that perhaps it may be the means of saving others, it is at your service. I have, however, done my duty. I will not add one single comment.—Yours, &c. Monday evening. A WESLE YAN METHODIST. THE LIVERP9M STANDARD. ON THE CHOICE OF REPRESENTATIVES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL ST.INDARD. SlR,—When a nation is beset by the factious attempts of wicked and designing men, and when those who have anything , to hope for in a change of the admirable system of our Govern ment, are assisting in the accomplishment of so base a purpcise, every - honest individual in the country becomes interested in the issue of the struggle; from the man possessing the largest stake therein, to the lowest mechanic in the realm; from him who is endowed with the most splendid talents, to the man possessing the most moderate capacity. Each, iu his own pro vince, has a duty to perform, both to himself, his country, and, if nothing else were to influence him, to the whole civilised world. When the glorious constitution, under the direction of which this country has been raised to a pre-eminence far above the attainment of other nations, and which, while it is preserved, will outshine its present fame, becomes attacked, what indivi dual is there who can one instant reflect upon the obvious course to be pursued ? What individual /is there, feeling for his own honour, who can be callous to the apprehension of the :consequences which would result front its overthrow? What ever can best encourage and animate to diligence and to energy; whatever is most powerful and influencing upon a mind not callous to every sentiment of duty, demands at this moment the exercise of every function and faculty that we are master of. This is not au individual cause alone ; it is the cause of the English constitution; the cause of the electors of this kingdom; and it is in particular the especial cause of the most indepen dent, the most spirited body of men, that ever concurred upon a subject of public policy; it is the cause of the electors of Li verpool; the cause of those who, when every act of malice, of calumny, and corruption, evct y engine of an illiberal and shameless system of proceeding; when the most gross and monstrous fallacies .that ever duped and deceived a credulous country, have been propagated and worked with all imaginable subtilty and diligence, have with a steadiness, with a sagacity, with a judgment becoming men of sense and spirit, vindicated themselves from the charge of caprice, changeableness, and fluctuation, and have preserved themselves free from the sus picion of surrendering the constitution of their country. While I speak of the importance of the present crisis to the 'est interests in the kingdom, let it not be understood that I am, guided in my conduct by any selfish or private 'considera tion. 1 am impelled by the nobler and snore forcible incitement of being engaged iu the cause of those to whom the devotion of all I have of diligence or ability Would be but a pitiful recom pense for-their manly and unshaken constancy, manifested in their resistance to 'those measures which have destroyed the fundamental principles of our constitution. Whatever was cal culated to raise them ixt.the esteem of their country has been attempted; their.unflinching perseverance to thwart the despe rate nOtions of a democratical faction, is a pledge thattheir sin cerity extends to.the welfare of the nation. The present week 'will show what effect the strengthening conviction of daily; ob servation has had upon the intelligence of •thisgreat town; we ,shall see whether the base attempts of some contemptible iudi vidoals to mislead :the ,public at this important erisis, by the employment ()fall those hackneyed topics of. the day, which are apt to make men.•form too high an estimate of their zeal and Cpinfietence forthabigh discharge of the duties of a represen tative,.have been successful.

THE DUTCH WAR. TO TILE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL SZPINDARD. SlR,—After the very clear and able exposition of Sir Howard Douglas, as to existing treaties between Holland and the allied powers, and his 'very excellent reasons for withholding his judg ment as to the line of conduct his Majesty's Ministers had pur sued, it is not my intention to enter on the subject, beyond asking whether, if it proves there was a sufficient cause for our interference in assisting France, we have done as much as we ought to have done ? And, if there proves not a sufficient cause, then, have we not done more than we can justify ? Under all circumstances, under any explanations that can take place, it appears to me that to one of these conclusions we must inevitably come.—Yours, &c. December lOth. THE PLEDGING SYSTEM. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SIR,—In a leading article which appeared in the Liverpool Journal of last Saturday, there is a puerile attempt to defend the practice of exacting pledges from candidates at elections. The writer of that article has the modesty to insinuate, by de signating them as the fooleries of the day, that the objections to the practice in question, so generally felt by candidates and the public, proceed from ignorance. Ile says that the real meaning of the pledge, and the purpose it is meant to serve, have escaped the penetration of those who deprecate it; that it is not, in fact, a pledge, in the common acceptation of the word, but a declaration of principles, because the candidate need not perform his engagement but to the extent that he deems it expedient to do so ; or, in other words, he may violate his pledges with impunity, whenever it suits his convenience; consequently, when a candidate has pledged hithself to use his efforts in Parliament to procure the repeal of all taxes, for ex ample, in return for his election, this writer's penetration has discovered that he is not bound to do any such thing. This is the meaning of the argument, if it mean anything; for although the candidate engages, in the most solemn manner, to do cer tain things, as the condition of obtaining the suffrages he soli cits, he is nevertheless under no moral obligation to fulfil his engagement; he is permitted to forget it, whenever it suits his purpose: If this be a defence of the pledge-exacting system, I leave you to judge. The case is represented in a new form, divested of its objectionable qualities, and, thereby, totally changed in its character; and in this altered shape it is held up for appro bation. What the writer professes to be a defence of the pledg ing principle, turns out in fact to be a defence of a different thing,—the declaration of principles. He therefore relinquishes the former as indefensible. If a declaration of sentiments be all that is meant, and not a binding to specific acts, why should that test of a candidate's fitness be applied in so objectionable a form? But the reasoning by which the obligation of a solemn pledge is attempted to be converted into a discretionary engagement only, by which the engagement a man enters into, when he de clares, as a man of honour and veracity,' that he will use his utmost endeavours to promote certain measures in Parliament, and in consequence of this obtains the suffrages of his consti tuents, the reasoning by which it is attempted to represent this engagement as holding no control, no tie, no obligation on his conscience, but that he may with impunity disregard and vio late it, discovers a principle which, I trust, will never be reduced to practice in the transactions of this Protestant community. It is evident that when a candidate gives pledges, and thereby induces the electors to return him, he comes under an obliga tion from which he cannot be released, but on the Jesuitical ground that when he made the pledge it was accompanied with certain mental reservations, in virtue of which he exercises a kind of dispensing power, by which he releases himself from his obligation. This is the principle on which the editor of the Journal endeavours to reconcile the public to the plan of giving pledges. The pledging system, however, will not meet much encouragement in this country. It is a Radical invention, adopted from aberrative views, or to answer sinister purposes. No man of principle and character will give pledges but with the intention of bona fide fulfilling them; and if what is pro posed to him be of such a nature that he cannot conscientiously accede to it, he will without hesitation decline it. The pledge-exacting faction appear, by their proceedings, to be ignorant of the principle of representation. They misun derstand the exigencies which, in a civilized community, have rendered it expedient to intrust the legislative authority to a representative body. It is true that the impracticability of all the members of the society meeting together to deliberate on public matters, and to,frame public laws, has rendered it neces sary to delegate this function to a few individuals, selected from the community for this specific purpose. But the impractica bility of making. the whole community a deliberative body is not the only inconvenience to obviate which the principle of representation was invented. Another object is answered by the expedient, equally important, that of securing the necessary capacity for the business of legislation ; an object which ren ders it essential to separate the employment of a legislator from the other occupations ,f.scsciety. would be as absurd to place a man from the loom or plough-tail in the senate, as it would be to place him at the head of, the army, or in command of the fleet. He would be just as fit for the one employment as for the other. The same.prineiple of expediency which has placed the le gislative authority in a representative body, has also rendered it necessary to confine the trust of choosing•that body to a part only of the community, who, in their capacity of electors, ex ercise the trust confided to them, not in their own behalf only, .but in behalf of the whole community, which they, jp. this in stance, represent, in selecting competent persons to represent the whole community in Parliament. The powers which, by the elective franchise, are conferred on the constituent body, are plain and sufficiently defined, both by express law, and the nature of the case. Their business is simply to choose fit persons to represent them in Parliament, and the powers which they can constitutionally - exer k i;e are limited to what are requisite for executing this specific act, to what is necessary for ascertaining the fitness of candidates for serving in Parliament. If, under pretence of ascertaining the fitness of candidates, they attempt to exercise powers which are not only not necessary for that purpose, but - incompatible with the functions of a constituent body, .they assume powers with which. they arc not entrnsted; their proceedings are illegal and unconstitutional. The practice recently introduced by. the Republican faction, of exacting pledges from candidates, is incompatible .with the powers which, as electors, they can constitutionally exercise. It is not indispensable as a test of the qualification of candi dates, and is therefore au assumption of power ivith which. the constitution has not intrusted them. It is an unconstitutional attempt to transfer the powers of the representative to-the eon stituent,body ; the function of the legislature to the electors ; the initiative as.well as .the deliberative. faculty, sincesand.i.; dates are not'only.pledged for the introduction of specific n:cia sures, but also •for their decision in a specific way. • . The constitution. does not. place in the .hands of th e consti tuency the power of.controlling the legislatnre,.in respect to , the indicative or deliberative faculties, the introduction or decision of questions ; it places that power in•the hands of the commu nity,. of which the ejectors form but a section. Thcir powers as electors terminate with the elections, and .they themselves merge in.the mass of the community. When an active exer cise of the controlling power is .neccssary, the. constitutional .method is petitioning, by the cotninunity -at large,- notby the.. electors, as. .electors..
