. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—As early notices of the movements of the country
in reference to the Reform Bill, in the Daily Papers, is very
desirable, I write to inform you that a requisition to the
Mayor of this town, caliing upon him ti convene a
meeting of the inhabitants to petition the Ilowe of Lords in
its favour, is now in course of signature; and also that pe-
titions are in progress from numerous towns and villages in
the neighbourhood. A notice of this by a paragraph in
The Sun on Saturday, will he useful.

I am, Sir, yours respeetfuliv,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUII

Stn,—At the present evtritful crisis, the question of
" What will the Lords do with the Bill?" is asked with
increasingly intense interest by every patriot, and all eyes
are fixed up in the organ of public opinion—the Press—
eagerly cuxious tl:at it should continue with redoubled
force those encouragements to the ft lends, and admonitions
to the foes, of their country's weal, which have hitherto
been so eft' ctively employed. It is just now inure than
ever necessary that the enlightened and patriotic portion
our journalists should not for a moment relax in their
ex-rtions, as one or two of those engines which vomit
forth the opinions and wishes of a for ever fallen oligarchy
are raving with more than usual fury, in the fond and
forlorn hope that-they may, by their foul calumnies, per-
suade the more weak among their Lordships that the
people of England feel no longer that interest in the suc-
cess of the Reform Bill which they now confess was once
felt. As a sample, the Post, amongst other equally ab-
surd and maniacal assertions, has the effrontery to say,—
" The people are sick of the Bill, and that the Commons
would never have passed it, had not the majority sold the
free exercise of their judgment to the snob for the price of
a poor seat in Parliament." Whether the people are sick
~f the Bill or not tt ill he shown to a demonstration if the
Lords should be so blindly infatuated as to resist the just,
constitutional, and determined demands of Englishmen.
Every Briton, who is free from the trammels which a lon%
course of corrupt and IprofligaQ .GoVernmt nt. basa.thrown
around hundreds in pentaierna, Anti *era,. and to which
every branch of the public service, whether Army, Navy.
Church, or State, has been most .vilely prostituted, sees
in the Reform Bill a beacon, which will enable a skilful
pilot to steer the vessel of State clear of the quicksands by
which she is at present surrounded, and unites with his
fellow-patriots in the firm determination that the represen-
tation of the people of England shall no longer be usurped
by a venal aristocracy, but that they will and shall be re-
presented according to the spirit and letter of the Consti-
tution, in their own branch of the Legislature. They
have no wish to trench upon the just prerogatives of the
Lords, and let their Liudships beware how they interfere
in a m otter in which the people have so just a claim to
think and act for themselves. If the Lords claim a right
!ei interfere with the construction of the Commons, their
example confers the right upon the House of Commons
interfere with the constitution of the Peers ; and
I would again warn the Hereditary House to be-
ware how they furnish a precedent so fraueht with
danger to themselves. Let not the assurances of to
raving journalist lead any of their Lordships to believe
hat the pry sent calm is a state of indifference ; but let
them be assured that it proceeos from a certain conviction
that the Lands will be too mit-Will of their own interests
•nd safety, to wish a collision with a determined nation,
/1-aded by their King and his Ministers. The people of
England have manfully fought, and giorieusly won the
battle on one fi,lil, and delivered their prize from the
hands of adversaries who have SO long proudly triumphed
over it, and have now taken their stations, with their vic-
torious weapons in their hands, ready to crush the foe who
dares attempt the rescue in its passage through the last
dangerous pass of the enemy's land, and terrible will be
the onset, if the hour of trial should come. The contemp-
tible trash of the Post, in which it designates the pre-
sent electors of England as the snob, is too far beneath the
notice of any rational tieing, to require much comment;
but I would recommend the Editor to beware how he
widens the bleach, at present, unhappily, far too wide, be-
tween the Aristocracy, and tile industry, wealth, and in-
telligence, the moral and physical force of the British
nation, by the use of tpit,:ets which plainly show the state
of desperation to which those who have recourse to such
expedients are .iriven.
I am, Mr. Editor, your obedient servant,
September 15, 1831. BR I TANN ICUS.
