Parth. Already herds of law attorneys have crept
rom° the purlieu of police courts, and from the ante-chain •
hereof ate bankruptcy courts, where they have wrung fees
from the hands of poverty and vice, and have presented
themselves in alt the pomp of electioneering agents of the
t and ne .. (Cheers.) What is that agency ? It is
• dirt' into the biographies of the electors, in
ord dish ingenuity may obtain a command over
misfortune end force unwilling votes. What is the trade
of these men ? Their trade is the elector's conscierce, and
their means the elector's misery. Their employers—the
House of Lords; the result—the House of Commons.
There may be some gentlemen bold enough to take up
the cudgels against this position. But I refer them to their
own personal knowledge. (Hear, hear.) And if that fails,
I refer them to the excellent and intolhgent work of Dal.
(Hear, hear.) Take Dod's statistics, and you will find that
then are 98 borough members returned to this house
through the direct intervention of peers. (Hear, hear.)
If they doubt the existence of the "screw," let them in-
quire of their own committees; let them examine their own
canvassing books ; and if they require further evidence, I
refer them back to the year 1842, when they will find that
I had tie honour of seconding a motion of the then Mr.
Ward, and that there was then given an account of the
"screws," derived from 13 canvassing-books used
in different counties and boroughs, in which the
screw system was very fully brought to light. I
am not to be met by the answer that I am
eo;atfigeereavtitrace taken iiliVdbefoinre mt

1835 to inquire into the " malverration of the franchise,"
and I will give some extracts from that evidence. Observe
that I am not charging the aristocracy alone with such con-
duct. The democracy is fully as tyrannical as the aris-
tocracy; and between them the electoral body is crucified.
The other night the right hon.gentleman theChancelloMif the
Exchequer made the observation, in reference to electoral
corruption, that no laws could stop such evils, but that we
must trust patiently to the elevation of the tone of the com-
munity. This is taking up a novel position. It appears
from this that the noble lord (Lord J. Russell) has been
going fee years in • wrong direction against these corrupt
practices. But why have wo the sessional orders against
the interference of peers ? Why have we the stringent '
Bribery Bill? Why are we perpetually engaged in futile
endeavours ; futile, no doubt, but still endeavours,
to arrest this huge evil? We have not trusted
so far to the elevation of the tone of the community ; and
will the right hoe. gentleman tell us how this elevation is
to be effected 1 The hon. member for Birmingham told us
here, a short time ago that, at every election for Birming-
ham, there were, at least, 1,000 electors who did not dare
to go to the poll. Perhaps, he could tell us, too, how many
men at Birmingham refused, for the same reasons, to let
their names be placed on the register ? We heard, from its
representative, the game thing of Bath; of 430 electors who
did not go to the poll because, as they said, they might as
well " shot up shop " as go. Elevation of the tone of the
community meant, if it meant anything, education. But
these election practices are practices sanctioned by noble-
men and gentlemen distinguished for their education;
and it is, therefore, a mere farce to talk of
elevation when the evil springs from above. Let
the hon. gentleman go and talk in this way to the
farmer who has been ejected for refusing to vote, or for
voting as his conscience dictated. Let him go and talk in
this way to the poor tradesman, who has been brought to
the brink of ruin because he dared to be honest. (Hear,
hear.) Good God! such a proposition, to "elevate the
tone of the community," is • complete farce ; and
if you talk in this way, you will be told that "sett
words butter no parsnips.' I ask the right hon. gentle-
man to look to the conduct of the noblemen and gentlemen
in the South Nottinghamshire election, who caught their
electors like vermin, and sent them to the poll like caged
rats. (Hear, hear.) Twenty years ago the following
boroughs were proved to be sunk aslow in corruption as
St. Albans is in at this day. I will give you the names :
Bridport, Bristol, Birmingham, Coventry, Cambridge, Car-
low, Clonmel, Cashel, Derby, Exeter, Gloucester, Here-
ford, Halifax, Ipswich, Leominster, Leicester, Lyme Regis,
Marylebone, Newark, Newport, Ripon, Westminster,
Youghal ; and the following counties:—Cheshire, Clam, De-
, Temkin, Baez, Limerick, Wexford, and Waterford; and,.
as shown more recently, at Sudbury, St. Albans, Har-
wich, the Scotch burghs, South Wilts, and Gloucestershire. I
Tags boroughs and counties are plunged in this state of
demoralisation by the most educated men in the land. I
have always on them occasions endeavoured to deed with
the various amuments as they have arisen from time to time
against the ballot, and now I have to deal with the speech
of a right hon. and raked friend of mine, the member for
Perth. And I really should have passed the right hon.
gentleman over, but that he is patted on by the great
leviathan of the press, which embodied his speech in a lead-
ing article. The right hon. gentleman gave two reasons,
one for voting for the ballot, aid one for voting against it.
Now the reasons for voting for the ballot are these, that he
always thought the ballot a bad measure ; but there were so
many surreptitious votes, that he voted for the ballot by I
way of getting rid of them. Well, I have only to remark
ea that, that it is a moat extraordinary argument.
The following is the language of the Times regarding the
debt bow. gentleman :—" As Mr. Fox Mauls confesses he
INS OM en a time betrayed into a vote for the ballot, that
be is ant now likely to repeat the transgression, appears
boss a palms which we quote, not merely in reference to
tbb nuestion, but which applies still more to the political
eondlithme ef Prance. t Do I hear no warning voice against
the balm there, has the ballot been the means of establish.
km Nag% has it protected the freedom of the people, has
' it had the Whet of securing the freedom of the press, or
even of deindleg or maintaining the law ? I am afraid
that it has sot. Under the ballot we have seen no respect
paid to the rights of property or to the public authorities ;
the press is trampled to the ground, gagged in a manner
that if I saw it in this country, I should blush for the
country that gave me birth. AU this has been done under
a ballot of the most secret and sealed description;
and is that no warning to me against that system ? ' "
Now, air, permit me to ask what man of sane mind ever
said that the ballot had the power of protecting freedom,
beyond the freedom of giving an unbiassed and unfettered
vote? Who ever imagined that the ballot could protect
the freedom of the press against an autocrat ? Who ever
thought the ballot could secure property or the public
trattheities against armed despots ? The utmost I ever
...he ballot could do was, by means of • mechanical
to enable a man to give in concealment tho
;41;e7rkWh maid be dangerous for him to give in public.
I wee and what man in his senses would ima-
gine, OM could put down an unscrupulous tyrant
with MOAN mat young gentlemen armed at his back. The
right bra gailiiiinen also affirmed that Louis Napoleon was
chosen Primiesst under a ballot of a most secret description.
Dom the rfght him. gentleman forget that the Assembly,
for which lis peeket.handkerchief of the Times is not yet
dry, was elm elected by the ballot ? And also that
the constitatica which was upset by Louis Napoleon
was elected by the same ballot ? I say that the work-
iag of the beet under the late constitution was
highly in fame of it. I say that the elections were
ermilesbet with 'amiable order, forming a strong con-
trast to the pliwalier moniihnted in our elections. I say

I take from the Bristol Gamete, and I have very little doubt
it is oorreet, for I also find it in other journals. Mr. Vining
sap: " What Is the is. of a registration if a man is to
vote by ballot, and what is the use of inquiring how a man
is going to vote when he may conceal the vote by the
ballot ?" (Laughter.) " Why," says Mr. Vining, " a man
may register one way and vote another." (Renewed
laughter.) Perhaps hon. gentlemen are not quite au food
with that expression, but it means this, that partisans may
pay • defaulter's rates, and thus pat him on the register--
which is a mode of bribery--and that then homey not votefor
them after all. " Suppose," continues Mr. Vining, " yon
I give • man 61.—(great laughter)—he may receive the
money, and vote in another way. (More laughter.) Yon
I are making • man divides his real sentiments, and if even
i I purchase • man," says Mr. Vining, " I am not able to
know how he is going to vote. He may vote against me
when he has said he will vote for me. (Laughter.) '
[A Voice : That is what we want. Yuu would
not have us under your thumb.] " Gentlemen,"
says Mr. Vining, waxing a little warm, " I feel the ma-
jority of you are with us—(eheers)—and now, then, I will
ask, let us co-operate cordially in promoting true conserva-
tive principles, and promoting the welfare of the state and
our own interest.' (Load laughter.) Here is a candid
gentleman. Mark the force he finds in the ballot;
it will ruin his political commercial transactions.
Poor gentleman! When he has bong! t, as he
sap it is quite doubtful whether his living bale
of ;goods will be delivered, and that is the fault that he Sado.
Now, it is this uncertainty that we want. All I ask is for •
fair trial'
of the ballot. If you like, make it permissive. If
you like, allow a certain number of electors who• may
demand the ballot to have the ballot. Don't meet me with
statement, that the ballot would be this or that in

In reply to the argument that the ballot at popular eletti,44
gave rise to riot and disorder, he mentioned the Girt thw
the parochial elections of Marylebone and St. Palters
where the ballot prevailed, were always conducted with tb;
greatest decorum and quiet, though sometimes as many a
19,000 persons voted.
Mr. W. WILLIAMS, in support of the motion, and laid
the impatience of the house, dwelt upon the evil. of ta,
present system, fur which the people, he asserted, le lies,g
the ballot to be the only remedy. The ballot in Amnia
co-existed with cheap government, aud, in this ciliary,
open vesting co-existed with dear goverument.
Mr. B. COCHRANE denied there was any analam
tween this country and America—the govenunen' el la
two countries was different; and turniag to From., 1,
asked, was she Manchester party satisfied with the
vote by ballot and universal suffrage there ? He quet, d

James Oration and Mr. Shiel, both of whom had deneuta.,f
the ballot as a principle of demoralisation.
Mr. COBDEN said he would promise to be very 10,0

argument than any proposition which hail been breareit
before that house. 1 hey had had opportunities of ey
nessing the efficacy of the ballot in the elections of a math.
bour.ng country, carried on under the most exciting t,r.
cumstances, and these showed what an immense gain tie
ballet would be to this country, by putting an end to
frightful demoralisation and violence which were seen g
almost every one of our own elections. (Hear, hem;
Now, he said, the example of France at their own dye;
upon this view of the question—it was only • very limit.view of the question, but it was its moral aspect—the
ample of France was conclusive. They had had six et...
lions of people in France all voting in one day, they La
had three or four general elections all over France With
universal suffrage, and under the most excitim
circumstances, and he said, without the slighter,
fear of contradiction, that there had been lea
of tumult, of violence, and of discord at the polite
in France—(itonical ministerial cheery)—yes, he repeated
it, but hon. gentlemen, probably, had not read the neer
papers. (Laughter) These general elections in Franey,
he said, had been carried on without a tumult at any of
the polling places. (11ear, hear.) Now, he asked the hue*
to consider what had been the condition of things in oar
own country ? Why, if he went back only for a wester
two, he could point out half • dozen little polling places
where very different scenes had been witnessed. Take, for
instance, the Isle of Wight, where the Newport election
resulted in the death of a respectable inilividuel. (Hoz,
hear.) He went to Boston, and what did he see there?
An hon. gentleman imprisoned by the mob in his ore
house, and not able to get to his dinner. (Laughter.) At
Harwich, again, the hustings were pulled down; and the
other day, at Enniskillen, where there were only about IA
voters to poll, the police had to charge the mob with armed
sabres. (Hear, hear.) These were only a few SINCIIIIIOS
of what occurred at the elections of even the smallest can.
etituencies. They had been pointed to the case of America,
to a tumult in New York. What did the right hon. gee.
deman say when he mentioned that fact ? Why that a
' newspaper of New York—not the Courier or the Ehrtirer,
which were both read by the wealthy classes, but the Nate
York Tribune, which was read by the masses—the very
paper, too, from which he quoted—was so horrified at
the fact of their being soy violence or tumult
that it declared that those who thus interned
with the most sacred rights of American citizens
ought to be shot down like dogs. (Hear, hear.) Was that
the kind of language which such proceedings called forth
there ? Why, Boeton and Harwich were laughed at, Ea.
niskillen did not excite a remark, and, instead of having one
governor to censure his fellow-citizens for having committed
such outrages, they had a hundred acts of parliament to put
down bribery ; and at that moment they hail a bill passing
through the house, the object of which was to erect a die
tinct tribunal for the trial of future casts of corruption.
Against all this they had only the isolated fact which he had
mentioned. Now he said that the effectof the ballot would
be this. It would repress all those outward demonstrationi
of opinion which led to these collisions in public meetings;
it would put an end to their flags and banners, and ribbons
and brass hands, and general disorder. lie ventured tosay that
that was the view of the question which was now sinking
into the public mind. And the reason why the ballot had
gained ground in this country during the last few years was
this—the friends of order, the lovers of temperance, those
who wished to ace moral power prevail over brute force—
had come to the conclusion that in the ballot they would
find a remedy for the evils and abuses which had so long
disgraced our elections, particularly on the nomination day
and the polling day. But another question was raised now,
namely, whether the ballot would be effectual ? It en
stated that in New York it had not been effectual. It wa
true that in Amesica, in former times at least, such was the
equal condition of the great body of the people, that very
little pressure was put by one person on another in order
to coerce him to vote in conformity with his wishes, and
that the people were very indifferent as to whether
their votes were concealed or not. But be could tell the
right hon. gentleman (Mr. Disraeli) that a very effectua:
remedy had been provided for this defect in the mode of
voting. Two years ago the legislature of Massachussetts—
not only one of the oldest, but in every respect one of the
most moral, intelligent, and religious communities in the
United States, or in the whole world—appointed a eon'
mittee to devise means for making the ballot more effectual.
Did tthe committee contemplate giving up the ballot n
order to adopt open voting ? No. lie held in his hand
the report of the committee, anti also the text of the act of
the legislature for carrying into effect the recommendation
of the committee. It was observed that the right of suffrage
was the most sacred of all political rights, and should be men
carefully guarded—if a juryman required to be free
from alt abuses, and to act without favour, fear, or Oho.
tion ; the same thing was requisite in the case of the
voter, and the ballot was the surest safeguard of publz
liberty. The plan recommended by the committee mu
this—that the government should provide adhesive core
lopes of a certain form for all the electors ; that those enve-
lopes should be given to the electors on application at the
proper offices ; that the voter, after writing or takiags
printed ticket, with the names of the candidates for whom he
wished to vote, should place it in the envelope, real the
envelope, and deposit the envelope in the box in the pre
Bence of officers appointed for the purpose. Now this ass
• perfect security for secrecy, if the voter wished to be
secret, and it was at the same time a perfect security eying
fraud. All the officers had to do was to see that
the voter placed one envelope in the ballot-box. If he de
posited more than one, or if there were any attempt at
fraud, it would be discovered when the votes were counted,
and that vote would be cancelled. No one need be antler
the apprehension that such a system would not be effected,
and he admitted that in this country it would be absolutely
necessary to take precautions. It was formerly a part of
the law of Massachusetts that the electors eluailil deposit
their votes openly. The consequence was, that any one
who liked could me for whom parties voted, and could tell
how the poll was going on. It was found too that, under
that system, many parties were able to coerce their are
rants, or others who were dependent upon them; and rio
doubt that would be the case in this country if the
same mode of voting were adopted. (Hear, hew'

lAt the general meeting of the shareholders of the
Vierson ltailway Company, which has just been
held, the receipts for the year 1851 were stated to be
4,334,309 fr., and the expense* 2,133,934 fr., leaving a
surplus of 2,200,3331 r.; which sum, af• er deducting
the interest of 4 per cent. paid on the shares, would
leave a dividend of 10fr. per share, or 30fr. for the
year, thus giving a return of 0 per emit. on the paid
up
capita. As the report was drawn up before the
late amalgamation with the Orleans line, nothing was
said about that transaction in the document. The
chairman, however, announoed that a special meeting
would be held on the 20th of April, to take the treaty
