" Do they advocate it on the ground of heavy taxation, and
" severe leyielative enactments? supposing those their grounds
" for reform, and granting, for argument's sake that they are
" true, then, I ask, is it by the House of Commons alone that
th-se acts have been sanctioned ?"
It is rather strange that the "great" gentleman should have
selected the above as the causer witty a Reform is wanting--it
seems as if he were disposed to assist the Reformers inpointing
out with clearness their ore case ; but weathers ever so stupid
• question put as—" is it by the House of Commons alone &c:'
I. any act done by either of the three branches of the Legisla-
&tare alone ? And does not every person of the meanest ca-
pacity know, that although the House of Commons (so called)
mold sot alone have passed the acts alluded to, yet that the
House " alone" could have prevented them. Oh I the wise
me. of Liverpool !!! Again it is said—
'. If there be soother assembly co-opsraling with the House
" Di Commons, then, I say, a refrain of the House of Com-
" moos is nugatory without a co-ordinate reform of that body
also."
Cheer him, cheer him, ye wise men of Liverpool ! ! If it
actually requires the co operation of two bodies to do a corrupt
thing, yet, according to the doctrine of this great gentlemen,
one body can equally effect it after the other body is purified ;
bravo! Next is the following question—
" I put this plain question, and I have never yet met the
" man who would answer it satisfactorily :—if you reform the
" the louse of Commons, pray what are your intentions with
" respect to the House of Lords ?"
This cannot be accounted for unless it he on the ground
of its being in Liverpool—in any other place a boy might have
been " met" who would promptly have answered, No nil so ;
we have nothing to do with the Lords, we happen to know that
a pure House of Commons is sufficient, although Mr. Canning
and his Liverpool friends may be ignorant of the fact, that any
evil which requires the united strength of two or three, can be
effectually prevented by removing the assistance of one. Here
follows more rodomontnte, (but suitable enough no doubt fur
Liverpool gullibility,) about America and France, concluding
with questions to the reformers.
" Do you mean to prevail by reason or compulsion ? if by
O reason, then reason is as good oat of doors as in."
Oh ! Liverpool ! Oh ! the great gentleman, as good where it
is ineffectual, as where it is efficient.
" Is it by compulsion? aye, that is what you mean, bat that
" you dare not say--hard cheers."
Liverpool for ever ! Liverpool and straight warstcoasts I
Liverpool for ever !! ! Here the great gentleman gets into
spirits and forgets where he started from—he forgets, his wish,
ee his expression of his wish to discuss the doctrines of the
Reformers " argumentatively and not vituperatively", and de-
clares, without any authority given by any answer, except his
own answer to his own question—a. Aye, it is by compulsion
you mean, but you die not say so." Why then, says the
great gentleman—
" My quarrel with Reformers is not as to the mode or the
" degree ; I take an objection in limine that they ask, that
" instead of a tripartite government, there should be erected
o a simple instrument which would do its own work by sweep-
" ing oft every obstacle and impediment which stood iu its
way."
Hear him ye men of Livetpool! hear him ye men of Gotham !
list, 0 listen to the great gentleman ! Who is it that wishes for
a tripartite government ? Mr. Canning ! oh, no ! it is the Re-
formers themselves. A tripartite government is what they
want—it is what they ask for—it is what they petition for—
King as he is—Lords as they are- and Commons as they toughs
Li to—this is a tripartite government ; fjul dia the men of Li-
verpool know what tripartite meant A little further on the
punt gentleman says—
'. Por God's sake if you can prove corruption in any borough
" disfranchise it as you have disfranchised Greinpound."
It is nut enough it seems that corruption exists, as it does
most certainly at all elections, whether in county, city, or bo-
rough, but it must be proved, aye, and proved too so plain that
errs the borough men must admit it to be primed. Was any
thing ever so faicical ? No, not even a county meeting. It
is well known to all, except, perhaps, the men of Liverpool
mad Gotham, that evils known to exist, should he prevented,
miretker capable of pooof or not, and that corruption at elec-
tions always has, now does, and always will exist, until we
bare elections by BALLOT. The great gentleman afterwards
says—
.' Let any Reformer show me that he is only anxio•te to re- ,
" move the blots which exist, and I am with him ; but the
" doctrine goes further, it goes not to alter the mode, but the
" thing—it would have the effect of altering those institutions
" which combined all the industry--all the property—and
which opened • dour to all the to'in: of the eauot..v.'
