STRANGE WILL.—AIy body shall be put upon
the oak table in my coffin in the brown room, and fifty
Irishmen shall be invited to my wake, and every one shall
have two quarts of the best aqua vitae, and each a skein,
dirk, or knife laid before him ; and when the liquor is out,
nail up my coffin, and commit me to earth, from whence I
c;iine. This is my will. Witness my hand this 3d of
March, 1674, JOHN LANGLET.—,SOIIIO of Langley's
friends asked him why he would be at such charge to treat
the Irish at his funeral, a people whom he neverlovtehde?
Why, for that reason," replied Langley ; for
will get so drunk at my wake that they will kill one
another, and so we shall get rid of some of the breed ; arid
if every one would follow my example in their wills, in
timegs we should
dgct rid of them all."—C,roker s Popular

KY FINING EDITION

WHITTLE HARVEY, M.P.

AND THE CONVENTION.

The following letter has been addressed by Mr.
W. Harvey, to Mr. S. Knighton, a Member of the
" National Convention" :

46, Bridge-street, Westminster, April 6, 1839.
Sut,—My attention has just been drawn to the fol-
lowing paragraph in The Sun of last evening :

" D. WHITTLE HARVEY, ESQ.,
" A resolution proposed by Mr. S. Knighton, and se-
conded by Mr. Pitkeithley, proposing to receive the of-
fered legal services of the above named gentleman for
the use of the Convention, was carried, after a pro-
tracted discussion."

Not having offered my legal services to the Con-
vention, you, and the gentleman who seconded the
above resolution, have been led, I doubt not, inadvert-
ently, into an error.

You will do me great injustice if you interpret this
disclaimer as conveying any hostility, on my part, to the
general objects of the Convention, however much I may
deplore the feeble and personal tone of its delibera-
tions. But I feel the TRUTH ought to be a guiding
object with all Reformers. Men who impa)n, and, as
I think, justly, so many grievous errors_ 'to the political
system of this country, and to the,,-se who direct it, are
bound to be peculiarly tee:icious of this qualification,
and I much regret ',not the reported proceedings
of the Conventi:zm, afford so many evidences of a la:
spirit in this particular, and in none more than in the
principles and motives which the members of the Con-
vention are represented as imputing to public Ine°'
To speak of myself and myself only. I have been 8
constant advocate of Reform, and have struggled for its
advancement upwards of thirty years, and from the begin-
ning I have bean, as I am now, the advocate of a suffrage
which shall embrace every male adult who has been
located in one place for twelve months, whither
he occupies a house or a hovel—one room or
many. Yet is this not Universal Suffrage. I decidedly
prefer an indissoluble Triennial Parliament to a°
Annual Parliament, and I am not unfavourable to the
Ballot, if no better security can be found against corrup-
tion and intimidation. And I own it would afford to ale
the highest satisfaction, if all the sincere friends of
Reform could be induced to meet upon this broad end
firm ground, leaving other points, of more or lesg-
portance, to work out their own pretensions. Eta'
a House of Commons, thus chosen, could -at realise
the just expectations of the public, we inust trace the
causes of national discontent, a1":?.t their remedies,
elements and agencies whicl:. are not discernable uP°D
the surface of events
In diselaimier, dssing around us.
be input the offer of my legal services, let it 110
the to me, that I would not render them to .
he:;,. of my ability, were they sought. But aware of t.be,
jealousy with which the Convention is regarded, and th:
contrivances which the legal tyrants of past times hart
framed, in which to entangle the friends of Reform,
should have regarded it as an act of inexcusable r;
sumption on my part, to have sought a post of sti°
fearful responsibility.
I am, Sir, your humble servant.
D. W. HARVEY.
To Mr. S. Knighton.
