proceedings’^ DEBATES
1 OF THE
Parliament of pimtteoi .
—<&g4^*>.—
LOWER HOUSE.
PETITIONS were preferred from eve
ry parish in all Pimlico, from every trading
and other respectable community in the
realm, expressing their abhorrence of the
measure of Union, as a degrading privation
of the rights of Pimlico—and as a submis
sion of the liberty and the property of its
natives to the domination bf a foreign par
liament, moved by every sentiment of pre
judice, of rivalry and old rooted enmity, to
the restraint and depression of both.
Those several petitions in their progress
to reception, -and the permission of the house
to lie on the table, passed the fire of the union
batteries.
Dr. Virus said, thotigh he feafeely ever
travelled a hen's race from the banks of the
Poddle Hole, yet he could tell by the very
smell of these petitions, that they came from
Rebels, facobins and Atbeifls, let on by the
inflamatory harangues, and seditious influ
ence of certain agitators, within and with
out that house. He knew by the additions
of great O's, Mac's, Mul's and Fitz's, that
e'en-jest the whole of ihe signers were Tro
jans, who had ng right whatever to inter
fere about the country, or petition against
its being blown up by gunpowder, or /wallow
ed in an earthquake. There were avast
number of figniatures written apparently in
piss-burnt ink x which he knew by inftind
•to be protestant blood—and he would ven
ture to fay e'en-jest the Whole of the fignia
tures were those of men who if they were
not too ignorant to know any thing—only
opposed union with a view to erea a demo
cracy in Pimlico. And as to the assertions
of the traders and commercial men of the
Pimliconian Gapital, who signed against the
measure, they were a set of demagogues who
jefifted it out of mere spite, because the di
re&orfhips of the wetch, and the profitable
peculations of lamplighting and scavenging
were taken out of their hands.
Gov. Janus agreed with the lamed Doaor
as to all that part of his remark which pre
ceded his unqualified censure upon the bu(i
nefs of lamp-lighting and scavenging, in which
he begged leave to fay, it was not decorus
in the larned Do&or to fling mud upon gen
tlemen, who, for want of better employ
ment took the trouble of scavenging and
throwing some light upon the nocturnal
darkness of ourjireets.
Mr. Secretary Slender observed, that not
withstanding the apparent mobs of names
signed to those petitions against the union—
He was convinced upon his honor, that the
majority of the people were in favor of the
measure—He could never admit figniatures
and number were any proof at all of the sen
timent of Pimlico, when opposed to his
measure. The lifts which he himfelf had
procured under the influence of the tax ga
therers and union members, he would admit
to be good men and true, in favor of the mea
sure—But before he would admit the coun
ter petitions to come from men whose names
and numbers deserved any confederation —it
must firft be proved to him that they were
'not men who had at any time expreifed their
disapprobation of the measures pursued by
his Dalkeian Majesty's Ministers—He had
documents to prove that above three-fourths
of the male population of Pimlico had done
so—-and so far had proved themselves men
of refraaory and rebellious disposition, and
therefore had forfeited all right to express
any sentiment whatever, by Speech or writ
ing against any measure his Dalkeian Ma
jesty's Miuifters Should think tit to adopt.
Therefore it was fair at least to Strike off
three-fourths of the names that attached to
those petitions, as going for nothing, and
how then would the popular sentiment ap
pear as to the measure ^ —Why that a ma
jority Was in favor of it-r-But maugre popu
lar sentiment, what had it to do with
the will qf Parliament, farther than their
own? mere diferetion. Hiltyry abounded
with numberless instances of Governments
Surrendering the ' rights and destroying the
liberties of nations where they pre tided, in
despite of the almost unanimous expression
of popular fentiment —The Parliament of
Scotland, for instance had passed an unions
in despite of the popular sentiment exprelied
[1 Idol. 50 cts. per annum
— w
fr three successive years, by cartloads of
petitions heaping their table. Should any
man fay, the union of Poland with Russia
on one fide, and Prussia on the other, was
carried with the popular sentiment. Did
Hiftory fay, that the annihilation of Roman,
liberty was in conformity with the popular
sentiment r With so many high precedents
then for the exercise of parliamentary and
gubernatory power to the surrender or anni
hilation of national right and popular lib
erty, in c^irea opposition to,popular senti
ment, \\ ould any man be so childish as to
argue, that the Parliament of Pimlico Should
hesitate one moment to chufe between his
torical precedent and popular sentiment, and
not direaly aft in union with the former
principle, if it was for no other reason than
to (hew its own Spirit and determination to
ad as they pleased in contempt of popular
sentiment, which ffiey Should scorn to ac
knowledge as any controul upon their deli
berations, or -any check upon the career of
their proceedings.
As to the Sentiments of apprehension ex
pressed by the merchants and manufaaur
ers, of the ill consequences of the measure
to their interests, however he might refpe&
them as ufeful fubjeas, who yield good
fleecings to the Revenue, he mutt, with great
deference, contemn their knowledge and
experience as the true interests and advan
tages of their refpeaive trades, compared
with his own refined theory. How Should
they know how to estimate their interests by
the Scientific principle of trade, any more
than a vulgar seaman of the wind best adapt
ed to waft him to his destined port ; or the
gardener of the afpea, foil, and temperature
bed' Suited to the cultivation of his fruits,
flowers and vegetables ; or she farmer of the
tillage and weather mod favorable to his
crops. He knew more than all their ex
perience could suggest, and that the measure
must be the most salutary one possible for
their advantage.
Mr. Punch would not hesitate to fay, and
it was competent for him to know a good
deal, ex officio, on the Subject, that nine
tenths of the most strenuous pppofers of the
measure of the Union with Vxmantown,
were arrant rebels, and that in fact anti
unionifm was only another word for treason
and rebellion ; and he hoped in God to fee
the day when it would be so construed by
the law. He would not, however, object
to Suffer those lumbering petitions to lie on
the table, because he kn^w they would con
tinue a mere dead letter, and Serve not to
procure or defeat the measure of Union,
but to furnifh increase to the measures of
tailors. fa
The Petitions were all received, and or
dered to lie on the table.
Dif,of al of the Building.
Lawyer George rose to enquire; when
the Honorable Tax-master opposite to him
would open his Wallet of financial arrange
ment for the session, and whether the houses
of Parliament, with their appurtenances,
were to be disposed of for the benefit of the
public, as a part of the ways and means of
supply ; or whether they were to be band
ed oyer as a bonus to the clerks and fervanis
of the House; to be disposed of as perqui
sites for their own emolument, like the pe
titions on the table, whidh the learned gen
tleman had just condemned to make tailor's
measures.
The Tax-Master General requested the
honorable & learned Member would make
himfelf perfectly easy on that ground. The
buildings - were originally ere&ed for the
purpose of giving law to Pimlico. That
purpose would not be changed by the mea
sure of Uipon, but modified and adapted to
the fyflem of law which would then prevail,
namely, military law. The building would
be converted into ^barrack, and the mem
bers that would then become its occupants,
would promulge laws of a&ion, not of ar
gument. They would cut matters very
thort with the people ; and as it was for-'
merly said, Cadunt arma toga, the maxim
.would speedily be reversed to Cadunt toga
armisi l
