FOR THE SUN.

MR. EDITOR,

The man tti ho can render the smallest service to
his country, -and through indolence negleCts doing
so, is hiel4y blamable; for an individnal so,oetitnes
has it in his power to suggest hints which, if adopt-
ed, may prove-benefici2L
Many Ads of Pat liament have been made to pre-
vent bribery at elections,. all of which have been
found insufficient for the purpose ;" and (he speech
of the present Speaker of the- House of Commons
against seats in Parliament being obtained by,bri-
bery, was the laogauge of a Roman Senator, and
his sincerity, therefore, cannot be for one Moment
doubted. The wanner of chusitrg MeMberS of Par-
liament for the Counties, might be altered for the
better, and this is the subjta of the present paper.
How is it possible for a poor nun, at his own ex-
, pence; to go to the county chief town to vote, iro:rt
a' distant part. Of, the coutvy ? By the late Mr.
WindhatWs Ad for the better recruiting the army,

" a common soldier, after a certain tern► of service,

" has a right. Co vote for the Merubtqs of the county
" in which Le resides:' Without ,ssist:ince, oc

maintenance fails under the Treating Atc.l)
how can he gO to'ti a county town ?- This boin,
therefore, to the old soldier is nugatory, unless he
is fed and lodged gratis, until he cafi give his vote.
In a contested county election, :lie;w.ay to the coun-
ty town, in all directions, may be traced by the
number of dead horses on the roads. What animal
misery is here ! and which the folloWing tends to
prevent, as also to lessen the enormous expence of
county elections to the Candidates, diminish lbe loss-
of labour to the kingdom, check bribery, and save
the House of Commons the trouble of future '
tigation.
t. Let the. names of every person qualified to
vote as an eleClor for a county be written and hung
up in the Vestry, and at the Church door of cacti
Parish Church to which he bz.longs'.
2. Let the cost of printing be at the exptince of
the counties.
3. Let three'weeks be allowed for an eleWontor
Members of a county, and let the names of the
Candidates be printed in the newspapers' and sent
(postage tree) to .the Churchwardens of each
Parish.
4. When tlre•day for the ele6tion for Members of
a county is fixed, let the ptincipal inhabitants
(electors) and Churchwardens assemble. in' the Pa-
rish Church-yards or Vestries of each town and
village, and cause to be read aloud the names of all
the Candidates, and then separately.t;rke the vote's
for each. After which to write down the number
of votes each •Canaidate has, and a return to be
inade, in writing, signed by the Churchwardens
and three of the principal. inhabitants (Ch-rgy men
excepted), and sent, postage free, to the Hion
Sheriff of the coup y town, who to cause the re-
- turns of the several -.parishes to be read aloud ai!cl
publicly; and the Candidates who have rrost votes
are to be declared duly' elected. In case the until-
burs tor atiy Candidates are equal, the SheritY
to have the casting 'vote. Priaed returns of the
whole proceedings are to he addressed, poi,age
to the Churchwardens of the several parishes, who
are to assemble tire principal inhabitdot4 rtra.elec.
tors, and eau,e to be read aloud in their presence
the several returns, to she w. that nothing cland-s-
-`tine has ensued in the election for Mvinuert, (..)f
the county.-
