DUKE OF NEWCASTLE AND SIR F. BUR-

DETT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING JOURNAL

SIR,—In your report of the debate in the House of Commons
on Lord Blandford's motion for reform in Parliament I observe
certain expressions attributed to Sir F. Burdett which demand
my notice and remark.
. .

As the state of my health does not admit of my attendance in
Parliament, where I should have noticed these unwarrantable
assertions in my place, I must beg the favour of you to give pub-
licity to this letter, by inserting it in your paper.
In the Report Sir Francis Burdett is represented to have said,
" That in early life he came into that House; but in what way ?
In defiance of the law of the country he purchased his seat of a
notorious borough-monger--of no less a person than the Duke
of Newcastle. But the Noble Duke was no patron of his ; he
took his money for the seat, but left him an independent weat-
her, having purchased a right to speak in the house of represen-
tatives with the voice of an Englishman who loved the liberty of
his country." After some flourishing language,which must have
been not unlike sounding brass and tinkling cymbals, the Hon.
Baronet proceeds to say that, "having himself been introduced
to the House through such a channel of corruption, he couldnot
help feeling for the electors of East Retford, who in these times
of general corruption had at least the good sense to sell them
selves," &c. &c.
Now, with every allowance for the utmost freedom of speech,
this is past endurance. I cannot tamely submit to be publicly
proclaimed a notorious borough-monger, a channel of corrup-
tion, and, by inference, as contrasted with the Baronet, an enenlY
to the liberties of the country, without repelling the charge with
the truest indignation.
My hands are tied from entering into detail. 'I he Hon. Ba-
ronet accuses me of being a corrupt borough-monger (an elegant
and honourable appellation truly), and states that he bought
his first seat of use. He knows as well as I do that his as-
sertion is not correct. When he first came into Parliament
I was quite a boy, and happily ignorant, as I wish I was now.
of all his practices. This fact will show the Hon. Baronet in
his proper colours. Having an object in view, he adopts the
unwarrantable course of endeavouring to prop up his own re.
putation by the ruin of mine. lam to be proclaimed by name
as a corrupt violator of the laws of my country, whilst the Hon.
Baronet figures in bright contrasts on the opposite side as the
exclusively honest man, the only champion of his country's free-
dom. I am, in short to be the commonest of Nobles—the
Baronet the noblest of Commoners.

However, as Ido not deal in hollow professions—as Ido not
say much and mean little—as my reputation is as dear to me as
the Baronet's to him—as I desire to stand well in the good opi-
nion of my countrymen—so must 1 clear myself from all impu-
tation or even suspicion of corruption, or of that venality which
the Baronet complacently terms venial. I will not shelter myself
behind the Hon. Baronet's amnesty—l claim no indulgence—l
call for his proofs of my venality—and I call upon him to show
any action of my life in which I have been info Aced by a base
lo.• of gain, or even by a selfish consideration.
My name has been handed about by many a spouter in Par-
liament, and by, perhaps, many a pot-house politician, as a cor-
rupt borough.monger, and an enemy to the freedom of my coun-
try. Once for all. I utterly deny the very shadow even of such
an imputation, and if it were necessary would challenge the
most fiery ordeal of public scrutiny.
In these times of political villany and immoral depravity amen
possessing a fair name may be a sort of political target for mock
patriots and modern liberals to shoot at, but he must feet a con-
scious pride in the possession of that name which will shield him
from all wounds, and urge him not to fear to preserve it.
Not only for myself, but for others who are situated as I am, I
have thought it incumbent upon me to vindicate our claims to
integrity and patriotism. As Peers and Englishmen we should
be doubly noble, and let it not be supposed by the country at
large that because we are titled we therefore have not the feel-
ings of men, who prize their honour and love their country as
much as any human being who may be blessed by the appellation
of Englishmen. I am, Sir, your obedient,
Clumber, Feb. 21, 1830. NEWCASTLE.
