THE NATIONAL REGISTER.

%%lot other tendency has their plan of Universal Suf-
frage and Annual Parliaments ? The Constitution com-
mits the guardianship of the public welfare to respon-
sible men ; these refhrmers would commit it to every
wretched and unprincipled man in the community, be-
cause they hope to force themselves into Parliament by
the aid of such sympathetic constituents. If either of
these gentlemen were sure that universal suffrage
would prove as unpropitious to his views, as that re-
stricted suffrage which is co-eval and co-existent with
the Constitution,he would instantly relax his exertions,
and suflia the Constitution to go hetullong to that de-
struction which, according to their prophecies, must be
so near at timid.

These men however, incapable as they are of produ-
cing any useful change, have added considerably to the
public distress, because they have injured, deeply injured
its only practical r mcdy—Parliamentary Refortn. When
a great political evil is to be annihilated in this country,
it must be borne down by the full and constant cur-
rent of public (pillion. If that current be divided, the
flood loses its strength and grandeur, and dies away in
the ineffectual murmur of a petty rivulet. This is ex-
actly the result which these inauspicious reformers hays
accomplished : no good man will unite with them, every
man who values the liberty of a Briton abhors them.
The tide of public opinion is divided ; and that which
they have collected, is composed of the scourings of the
community, and is destined only to fill still higher the
channels of corruption.
If the people thcrcfbre are really desirous of having
their present miseries removed, they will in the first in-
stance suffer themselves to believe that they cannot be
removed all at once, us if by the command of a Sorcerer.
They will cheerfully endure them, knowing that they
originated in a cause which could not by any possibility
have been avoided—a cause too which has shed such a
lustre upon their history. In the next place they will
banish fiom their assemblies such men as Mr lltrat and
Air. Coblvtt. Their constitutional rights can never be
regained by such men; out the contrary, they will be lost
for ever. Let them assemble if they will—and debate
and petition ;—but let all be done in a peaceable and
a dignified manner. Their prayers will then be heard
by Parliament ; or, if they be not, no pretext fin. their re-
jection can be timnd in the conduct ,of the people. Some
flaws there undoubtedly are in the Ponstitution. It is
human; and, has lived through the storms of several
hundred winters ; it could not in :the order of nature
escape the mutilating Influence of the seasons. Let these
imperfections be pointed out in A .calm and zealous
manner; let it appear that the real object IA to sixth and
to heal, not to insult them, let that part of national dis-
tress which was caused .by these imperfections be molly
ascertained, and the Consti..ution isloo dear to all parties
either in or out of Parliament not to immediately ex-
cite their utmost attention, and to es.ll-forth their no-
blest exertions in its reparation.
