LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6.

THE House of Commons will not reform ies4f.
Whip, Peelite., and Protectionists, at loggcrh"ads en
other points, and amieb:y intent upon tripping
each other's heels, are unanimous on this. Like the
mutineers of Jerusalem when besieged by TITUS, the
children and champions of realm, ntary corruption
make a truce for the time and unite to repel the
assault of their common enemy—the Reformers
Well, if the House of Commons will not reform itself,
other bands must be got to do the work.
Parliament will nut extend the her:claw, and
unless the franchise b 3 extended it is out i f the power
of t.".e ettp'e to send members to parliament who.
will set about financial reform, and other improve-
' manta equally urgent, in earnest. It would be sneer
waste of time for the people to petition the Howie of
Comments to grant an extended suffrage—es well
might the early Christiaes hive Fetitionea the silver-
smiths of Ephesus to put down the worship of Diana.
" By this craft"—the making, and supporting, and
opposing parties in parliament—those gentlemen
"have their living." io ask the scions of the anis-
vracy—whig, Pce`ite, or protectionist—or their
puldical lacquies, to reform the Horse of Cum-
' mono, is to ask them to abolish sinecure', and
what are worse than sinecures, offices in which they
are paid for doing mischief—is, in other words, to a-le
them to take the bread out c f iheir own mouths.
But, though parliament wilt not grant the franc' ise
to the people, the people can take it to themselves
In the counties the electoral qualification is, in point of
fict, little more than a nominal one. The Birmingham
Land Association has shown how, by combining to pur-
chase land at a wholesale price, Cis. freeholds can he
brought within the reach of every industrious me-
chanic or labourer. Tae villagers and townsmen;
scattered throughout our count es may all make them-
selves electors before the time comes round for
choosing a new parliament ; and this folco of self-
enfranchised men, united to the liberal minorities in
the existing conetituenciee, will be found mere than a
match for the trading politicians among the arist terocy I
and their dependents. It is cut of the power of the
anti-reformers to coubtetai t such a movement. They
will not cut up their estates to make Grrni fide ft co-
held, ; they cannot increase the number of their
serfs who are contented with being tenants) at will;
and they cannot find tools in sufficient number whom
they can trust with fictitious freeholds.
It is useless to waste time in helding meetings to
make speeches about the de s'rehlenees and necessity
of extended suffrage, and to frame and sign petitions
which will be carried from the table of the House of
Commons to come lumber-hole, whence they will in
due time be extraef ed and sold to the tallow-chandlers.

There is work to be done : mere talk is a superfluity
or worse. Every county and pollir.g district. must
have its "qualification society" to collect and manage
the subscriptions of members desirous to blcome 40s
freeholders; to purchase estates which can be sub-
divided into 404. freeholds, and allotted to members in
their order of priority ; and to attend to th 2 registra-
tions.

The middle class re'ormers in the manufacturing
districts have a growing conviction that the only sure
path of progress u through the 40s. fie tholds, that
the only way of react :fully breaking dowa the I=B.
sire and abused power et the aristocracy is by the
people entering within the el etoral pile by the 40e.
gate. This plan is rapidly growing in favour with
the mechanic clans. The feeling is not confined to one
part of the kingdom; it is s,)..litan ously and hiroul-
teneously developing Lself in a t.unibtr of widely dis-
tant localities. The Freehold Land Societies are
already sufficiently numerous to warrant the expecta-
tion that a meeting of delegates from them
will be held in Birmingham or London in the autumn
to report progress, form a get cral union, and emetre
measures for making the movement national.
Whoever takes the trouble to analyse political
power, with a view to discover its constituent ele-
ments, will find it resolve itself into two irgrc dieres,
public opinion and realised prop' ry. Public opinion
invariably determiner, in the long run, the institution's
and modes of administration in every country. Where
the mass of realised l r po rty is coneentra•ed in a
limited number of proprietors, animated by views
antagonistic to those entertained by the mass or
society, they may for a time stem the current of
public opinion ; but only for a time, and the period
daring which their resistance is successful
is unite- mly characterised by turbulence and
social suffering. Ecclesiastical reformation made
no progress in this country until the wealth of the
church was transferred to the laity ; political freedom
was a thing unknown until the enterprise and indus-
try of the untitled landed gentry anl the mercantile
class had caused their aggregate wealth to exceed
that of the peerage and the court. The reform bill
of 1831-32 was carried because the growing propery
of the ten-pounder class had already transferred to it
the reality of political power. The latter at salons of
the unreformed parliament legislated essentially
the same spirit as the mesons of the reformed parlia-
ment which have since been held. The only difference
has been that the ten-pounder parliaments have done
spontaneously and quietly what their immediate pre-
decessors did under compulsion.
It is on the belief diet a further transfer of the bulk
of realist d prope. ty is taking plane that we rest our
hopes—and they are pretty confident—that we are on
the eve of a large ex.ension of popular political
power. The middle and lower classes have discovered
that by saving and investing their savings in real
property they can acquire not only substantial pee-
sessions bat political power. And at the very tame
that this discovery is in the progress of being made,
we see the Duke of BUCKnNGUAM and not a few
others of the aristocracy, titled and untitled, obliged
to bring their real property to the hammer. The
balk of the noel, ntl prepe ty is by a gradual, peace-
able, and equitable precesr, passing from the hated, of
the few into the hands of the many, and political
power must of necessity piss along with it. The
elements of public opinion and accumulated proLerty
are about to act in harmony. And no one who looks
without bias or prepossession at the signs of the
times can entertain a &sub: that the Freehold Land
Societies are destined to be an important instru neat
in bringing about the change. Let us remodel the
constituencies by the augmentation of the number of
bond fide forty shilling freeholds, and the comple-
mtnttry reforms of more equal electoral districts,
secret votiog, and short parliaments, will be of easy
attainment.
