GENTLEMEN,
AT the last General Election the offers of
support which I received left no doubt of my being
chosen your Representative if I hail been put in nomina
then. I declined that honour because other avocations
would prevent my devoting as much time to your interests
as they require, and I would not undertake a duty which I
was not able fully to perform. But since I supported your
present Members because they were favourable to Reform,
in opposition to a party which refused all Reform ; and
since ;t is now ceo longer a question whether we are to have
a Reform of same kind or not ; I . request your attention
to is details, that we may take care to secure improve..
meat, and equally to avoid r volution.
I have ever advocated a Reform of the House of Com-
mons, because abuses hail crept into that body, and the
sale of seats was notorious. I lamented the systematic
refusal of the Government fur the last thirty years to
rectify this abuse, because a tremendous reaction was Mar-
to ice the result, whenever the people, finding the pressure'
of the public debt past further endurance, aggravated by
being compelled to discharke in gold debts that were con-
tracted in paper, should be ready to adopt any scheme,
however desperate, which might speciously, but deceit-
fully, offer them the prospect of relief. I was not content
with vague terms, but I specified as the essential details of
Reform, first, el e extension of the right of voting fir
some one place to all resident persons of property, let that
property consist in what it may, (a point, by the way,
which is but indifferently managed in the Bell) : secondly,
the disfranchisement of non-resident voters ; thirdly, the
reduction of expo use of elections by taking tares simulta-
neously in parishes, (arranged by the Bill in a less efficient
mode); fourthly, the shortening the duration of Parlia-
ments from seven to three years, agreeably to the Con-.
stitutien of 1688. I objected to the ballot, but probably
without auflicient reason : and it might safely be granted
wherever pour voters desire it, in order to sateen them-
selves, in the discharge of their duty, from the interference
of the ride. This would have been a substantial and a
safe Refinm. The people were resolved to leave some Re
form, and no Government would leave been supported
without it : the declaration of the late Ministers against
it evinced their ignorance of public feeling on the subject,
and drove the people to despair ; and the present Ministers
weee entitled to the thanks of the country for bringing
forward the question at the first moment of their assum-
ing the reins of Government. The Bill they introduced
ought to have gone into a Committee, because the prin-
ciple of Reform was thereby established : it was ably
dr.ewn for effecting its object ; and its defects might leave
been remedied by altererion oldie schedules. That places
like Gat on and Old Strom should cease to send Members,
is right ; because, being altogether without inhabitants,
their charters leave necessarily died out, and the King
should he advised to issue writs to them no more.
That the franchise in ether towns should nut be limited tee
particular stre ta as in Guildford, but be extended to all
the inhabitants, is right ; because no one is injured by
another enjoying the same privilege as himself. That
Boroughs whose ft anchises have been notoriously bought
and sold, should be disfranchis el, is right, because they
leave acted contrary to law ; and Members should be given
to such towns as Birmimgliam and Leeds, laasause great in-
terests le eve growec up in them ; but it must not be for-
gotten that the most populous places ate often the most
cos rupt, and that no scheme whatever can ensure honesty
and purity.
It is obvious, therefore, that I entertained a strong pre-
disposition to receive fivourably the plan which has been
propounded by the Ministers, the greater part of which is
unexceptionable; and that I had no wish to cavil at
trifliti:, faults. But since they have resolved to compel us
to take " the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the
B li," without any modification, it becomes us to pause
before we submit to this dictation ; for to seize upon the
charters of unotrending towns, as they propose, is a viola-
tion of all law and equity, whiole, cs.r. yr
tyranny, may indeed be effected by brute force, but which
leaves no deed, nor title, nor privilege, nor property, in the
kingdom, secured on any durable basis; and, henceforth,
all we possess is held on the precarious tenure of popular
sufferance, ready to be sacrificed whenever a Aliniatry,
sufficiently profligate, shall be wiling to retain powo. by
pandering to the passions of the mob, and to perpetrate an
act of spoliation under the very guise of public expediency.
Nor does the integrity of some, and the experience of
others, of the present Ministers afford a rational hope of
even a transient respite from a speedy repetition of such
acts, since they have suffered themselves tee be hurried by
colleagues. famed no less for the unsoundness of their judg-
ment, and the recklessness- of their principles, than the
brilliancy of their talents, into a desperate plunge, by a
false representation to their Sovereign that the Commons
had refused the supplies, on a complicated proposition,
novel even to themselves, which least of all required haste,
if it diet not peremptorily demand the most cautious de-
liberation ; anti who, instead of calming the violence of a
suffering ,and irritated people, the only conduct of wise
s of -
bat of delegates from mobs. Nature and law both ad.
rulers, have rather fomented, for the sake of taking ad-
their delirium, in order to delude their igno-
rance ge of,
into the acceptance of a new Constitution..

mitting inequality of property, the Bill will ce nfer equa-
lity of power. According tie "the whole Pill," whose
issues are unforeseen, it is impossible to retrace our steps,
if any error should be subsequent'y discovered in its work-
ing ; so that the folly of taking an irretrievable step into
an unknown region, can only be denied by the assump-
tion of infallibility. Every hope of relief to the productive
classes, except from a liquidation of the Debt, is fall ecious ;
and although this burden may be got rid of by wise tnea-
sures with perfect justice, there is as little probability of
such wisdom app aring under the new Constitution as
under the old : while the chance of justice being observed
is touch diminished, since the pretext of expediency,
which shall have sanctioned the plunder of the Corpora-
tions, will apply with aggravated power to the robbery of
the public creditor; and the advantage of so doing, will
be far more apparent to vulgar apprehension. The har-
vest is richer, and the morality the same.
When I avowed myself ace advocate for Reform, I was
no hypocrite, and did not, under the mask of Renovation,
secretly intend Revolution. I did not, uitildi:tehretetnli lo

loyal attachment to the Monarchy, intend to set up a Re-
publica If, however, this Bill passes without modifica-
tion, all the power of the State is transferred from the
higher to the hewer classes, and an ignominious abdication
of his rights is the only peaceable alternative for the King.
There cannot be hence'orward sufficient unity and energy
in the Government to cause the country to be respected or
feared abroad ; nor will the Executive possess sufficient
power at Lome to prevent us frotn the heaviest curse that
can befal a country—far heavier than that of military des-
potism—the savage brutality of a lawless m b, goaded by
a malignant and anonymous press.
Nee sound reason whatever can he assigned for diminish-
ing the number of English Members, and upon this the
people of England should make a decided stand. The
effect of the Bill in Ireland will be, to give us a great in-
flux of Irish Papists ; not a class of persons peculiarly
remarkable for being dispassionate, nor for their caution
in the management of a nation's affairs ; while the treat-
m nt of the lower orders there, may show the het er or-
ders here how little the sympathy of their rulers is likely
to be increased by such a change. If I have a predilec-
tion for one cl tag of the cotnmunity beyond another, I con-
fess that it is not for the class which I now address, but
for the agricultural labourers; and when I perceive the
spoliation of guilikss Corporations that is propossd ; when
I see the right of voting given to small leaseholders in
towns which is denied to farmers ; when I find that the
number of English Members is to be diminished, and an

4. That the most eligible site for such a structure being
already occupied by the foundation of the National Monu-
ment, which was lately commenced in honour of the vie..
tot ics gained by land and sea, during the reigns of the last
two Sovereigns of the House of Brunswick, it appears to
this Meeting, that the present splendid and magnanimous
ac- of King William the Fourth, in favour of his peop'e,
could not be more appropria'ely transmitted to posterity
than by the united population of Scotland contributing to
the completion of the Montnnent, in such a manner as
especially to commeatorate this great event, and to chew
to sucxeding generations that, while the triumphs achieved
during the reigns of George the Third and George the
Fourth, secured the nation from its external enemies, it
lett-to his present M .jesty to achieve during peace
the still more alai put ny lug
the Constitution, and of adding stability to the Throne
while he ensured the happiness of hi.. people.
5. That subscriptions be immediately commenced for
the purpose of erecting a suitable Memorial, and a Com-
mittee appointed to send copies of these Resolutions to the
public authorities or others, in all the principal cities,
towns, or parishes in Scotland, soliciting their coopera-
tion in the proposed measure ; and on the Committee
ascertaining the extent of the support likely to be ob-
tained, they be requested to report to another Meeting as
to the most eligible plan to be adopted ; and that the Com-
mittee consist of the Magistrates and Masters of Incorpo-
rations, and Messrs. J. B. Scott, James Reoch, Charles
White, James Scarth, John Hay, Robert Philip, George
Gibsot., George Crichton, and A. A. Thomson.
On the motion of Mr. Thos. Hay, the thanks of the
Meeting were unanimously given to the Requisitionists for
their promptitude in requesting this meeting, and to Mr.
Crichton for the very able manner in which the subject
was introduced by him.
On the motion of Mr. Reoch, seconded by Mr. Harvey,
the thanks of the Meeting were unanimously given to the
Magistrates for the it ready attention to the Requisition,
anti to Mr. Wishirt, for his conduct in the Chair.
