Id was now nearly filly years since the question' of
iebyliimeesetary Reform was first proposed. to the
athesstiost of the muster. Ile himself took it 'up

chute, said they had run fifty miles perpendicular—
( Latr;hier)—liefore they took the chase. So they
had pursued the chase- for Reform for fifty year..
and lie hoped they were now !Ipproaching its con-
clusion. The question of Reform was one 4.f tail

their object drew near, it behoved them to be
strictly on their guard, and particularly careful to
avoid the adopt of any erroneous principles, by
which they might be cheated of the benefits tloy
hoped to derive from it. Many persons who bad
not so closely and carefully considered the question

'notion fur degrading the Queen, if/roe:lit up the pupae
to sack an intensity of feeling, to such an extreme of
disgust, and to such a dire foreboding of evil, Hist, its the
opinions of this ineetiog, our country is us the eve of a
political catastrophe, which must soon be seen is one of
the three following results :--first, national enslavemeut
under sword aid barmee lair —or, *ecotone, a bloody con-
vulsion, with a sad prospect fur ultimate freedom—or,
lastly, that "the saw of righteousness (in the h ly shape
of Reform) shall arise with healing in his wing..." &Attiring'
brighter days end t' new merrities
.for oar Mortise;" so
that from thenceforth the Rich and the Poor, the Catholic,
the Pentland, and the Protestant Disrester, may be equally
free.
The Rev. Dr. DRAPER then addressed the meet •
hag. At the precast day. the whole tattoo, he said.
'Kissed he be in agitation. The tic crassly of a Re.
form in Parliament had never been denied ; but
the friends of corruption told the people whenever
they stirred the question, that it was tint the proper
time for introducing 11w snhject. But if ever there
was, if ever there could be a proper time for its
consideration, it was now, wisest the whole people
of England were dissatisfied, and when they felt
that all that they suffered, and every thing of whieh
they complained, proceeded from a corrupted so s-
tern of Representatiots.—(Apniowse.)—There had
beets meetings which were intended as counter-
ineetisigs to such as that; but they hod all agreed
with it sit first principles. The MOlllirdly was an
integral part of the Constitution, and no attempt
had been made at env county meeting to under-
untie or destroy it. 'the Aristocracy was also an
integral part of the Constitution, and 110 wish had
beets expressed to see it shorts of its rights. He
remembered Borke's comparison of the Con-
stitution to • pillar, of which the Aristocracy
was the shaft, •ttil Royalty the Corinthian capital ;
but the colututi must have a base, which Burke had
forgotten.—(Applause.)—The shaft supported
the capital, but the slush must have a base to rest
ots; for what sort of • figure would the capital cut
WI the ground ?—(elppluese.)—When lie saw that
the county of Middlesex vent two Member, to Par-
Itaineirt, and toot a little place called East Lone,
in Conawall, also seat as many ; when lie saw in the
city of Westminster a band struggle for the retorts
of two independent 51embers, and that another
place called West Loos., also sent the same number
equal in power, and possessed of equal privileges,
could he hesitate to declare that such a state of re.
presentation was corrupt, and ought to be reformed ?
Ile knew that Mr. Pitt wrote to a person bight its
the law, saying, that the borough of Calton was vo-
mit and was very much at Isis service ; thus giving
away a seat in Parliament as lifhtly and with as
little cereinoiry as a Gentleman would make a pre-
sent of a partiidge or • hate.—(Laughter and
applause.)—As the Crown had its prerogatives,
and the Aristocracy its privileges, as also had the
people their rights.—(4pploase.)—But what a
farce was it to talk of the light of the people to be
represented or Parliament, while Members are re-
turned by boroughs sorb us Sarnia, (Litton, and
others; and while a Member of Porlinment 'could
be corrected whets in Iris place in the House of
Col 11111 l ms fur opeaking of his constituents, and re-
minded that lie made a mistake, for lie had only
one constituesit. There was no steed of a Pitt
or a Canning, with at theturteal period or its
oratorical flourish, to demolistrate truths like these.
He remembered that, when Mr. Fox, with a splen-
dour of eloquence that would immortalize his me-
mory, drenotiosrated the defects of the system, and
foretold what his wooer come to pass, of its ruinous
results, Pitt, unable to combat Ins arguments, or
shake his remitting, with the pertness and empty
self-impurtonce of a school-buy, tepeaten those lilies
of the Poet—

would aspiwer, " where we were at first."—Thy
Crown, from which all bonnet surf power was said
to emanate, was itself established by universal sof-
froge.—(Lored applanse.)—But less could content
f them ; if such a reform were effected es would ea.
sure wad give effect to the exprexsiou of the voice
arid washes of the people in the House of Common.,
that would be sufficient for every purpose. Bat if
the topic were fairly starlet, George Canning coofd
soot controvert it.—(Applause)—lt hail also beeu
said, that there was uu rtlig:ou among the people.
and the issuing of blaspheinous priblicationt was
pointed In 11 4 the proof. He admitied that there

were musty excrescences °tithe body politic, which.
by proper Loan-nut, might be removed; and
some of the authors of such pliblicationa lisit

the wait of religion in the great body of
the people !—:is well might Ministers say if Ihe
typhus fever raged in a village or two, that the
whole nation wat infected with the contagion.—
(Great applause,)—But the Ministers themselves
might be Ju.tly charged atilt infusing teligiots.—
They had shaken the faith of every good old wo-
man in the kisigilosn.—( laughter and applause.)

Charlotte in that of George 111. She {toes., the
prayers by heart, and the Queen and to follow the
King quite naturally ; but now, whets she came folk:

great applause.)—louuutrrable ocher evils nughc
be meistimied to sheer the paramount necessity of
reform in Parliament. He would but hint at the
encroachments on our liberties, and the suspension
of the Habeas Corpus, which had beets adopted
fur no other purpose but that of giving Ministers
the power to punish without trial.—(Applcsase.l—
but reform could cure those evils; noticing
but reform could or ought to satisfy the people ;
and that, slot a pretence of reform, by cutting off
a rotten borough or two, but a thorough, efficient.
radical .seforin.—(l-01111 applause.)—The Rev.
Gentlemen concluded by secusidiug the Resolu-
tion.

Mr. FITZGERA LD then presented himself to the
meeting ; aid was proceeding so address thew ass •
very flowery and highly metaphorical speech. but
the patience of his auditor, was soon exhausted.
when a loud storm of cougising and humming ear-
sued. with other more direct appeals to the speaker
to 'lrbil:.
The CIIAI am A!A hawing obtained silence. begged
of the mertisig to hear the Gentleman patiently.
but their indispos.bon to listen to any fwnhe► the-
play of his oratory again manifesting itself. the
Speaker bowed and retired.

The I{c•uluum' was then put and carried, will&

we believe, uhis so ostematiously paraded Les ►ut.

Major CA RTWRIGHT then announced to the
meeting, that he had that moment received s letter
from Mr. Alderman Wood, spologiveng for his
rb-
cence ou uCcesioo, and stating that leis
attendance in another place, ott city bueinews, ass
