their revenue was raised from the land. Why, how
could Sweden or Denmark raise revenue except from
the land ? (Hear, hear.) He mentioned France.
The proprietors of land in France contributed to
the direct imperial revenue of the country 7,500,000/.
sterling. But they complained in England not
hat real property paid a particular tax, that
t contributed its due proportion to the impe-
rial revenue, just as the land of France did, but
that, besides, it was forced to raise a second revenue for
the public service to the extent of 12,000,000/.—(l-lear,
hear.) It was impossible,_ if they took this broad view
of the facts of the case, that any of those partial state-
ments and arguments they had been amused with could
at all be tolerated. Gentlemen opposite had raised up an
amusing antagonist, and then destroyed it. But when a
nation was suffering, their Parliamentary tactics were
things beneath contempt.—(Cheers.) It was a fact, that
the fourth of the income of the country had the painful
duty of levying a second revenue for the service of the
state. It wes a fact, that the greater portion of the real
property of the country was in a state of unparalleled de•
pression and intolerable suffering.—(Cheers.) It was a
fact, that it was in that state owing to the changes caused
by their legislation.—(Cheers.) And it was a fact, that
that legislation had been changed for the benefit of the
privileged portion of the people of England.—(Cheers.)
He must tell them that these were things which they
would not endure.—(Cheers.) They must understand
that the real property of this country would no longer
consent to contribute two republic revenues.—(Cheers.)
He said this in no spirit of acerbity or heat.—(A laugh.)
He told those who laughed that in violent counsels they
had advised conciliation—(Cheers) ;—that, if they had
chosen to stimulate the passions of suffering multitudes,
they might have produced a very different resolution
from that which had been brought forward. Let not any
suppo;:e, if they voted against it that night, that the con-
troversy was ended. Let them not suppose that they were
to be intletaidated by the menaces of the Hon. Member
for the Weat Riding.—(Cheers.) He would tell them
that the only consequence of the rejection of that resolu-
tion would be a proposition conceived in a severer spirit
of justice.—(Cheers.) By some combination of parties
the Government might extricate themselves from the
embarrassment it might occasion them; but let them not
suppose that the suffering landed interest which they had
for years been conspiring to injure—(Cheers)—that the
various classes of that interest would renounce for a mo-
ment every chance they had to find a remedy from the
legislature of the country.—(Cheers.) They would have
in the end to do that suffering interest justice, and he
warned them that before the session ended they would
for the third time be appealed to.—(Cheers.) Like the
unknown strangers in the Roman legend, they would
come; on the third time only one book would then re-
main; but they would take it up, and on it would be in-
scribed, " Protected and regenerated England."—
