We have to notice a steady demand for nearly all
kinds of hops in pockets, at, in some instances, an ad-
vance in the quotations of 2s. per cwt.; but the amount
of business doing is by no means extensive. The plan-
tation accounts received this m3rniug are somewhat
more favourable; and the duty is freely backed at
155,000 L—Sussex pockets, 3/ to 37 8s ; Weald of Kent
pockets, 31 5s to 3/ 12s ; Mid and East Kent pockets,
317 s to 5/10s per cwt.

AN APPEAL TO THE MIDDLE CLASSES
ON THE QUESTION OF THE SUFFRAGE.

FELLOW COUNTRYMEN,—BeIieving politics to be that
branch of morality which, in its legitimate aim, soars
above all party spirit and selfish considerations to direct
us to our duties as citizens of the state, upon the broad
principle of reciprocal justice, I am induced, in the pre-
sent conflict of political opinions, to point to that moral
standard, and to raise my humble voice in favour of re-
presentative justice for my unenfranchised brethren.
From the course I have long pursued, and the opinions
I am known to entertain, I may probably be accused of
seeking to enforce my ultra-views in the spirit of party,
and with a design to obstruct the progress of that reform
recently commenced in favour of household suffrage.
But, lest such a charge should be urged, I beg to
assure you that this appeal is made in no opposing or ob-
structive spirit, but with the hopes that I may be able to
convince you that justice is likely to be compromised,
and misery prolonged by the course you seem disposed
to adopt; and that you may be induced to declare in
favour of that wider measure of reform that shall com-
bine all interests and all classes in a desire to promote
the prosperity of our country and the happiness of our
people.
Impressed with the conviction that the cause I have
espoused has been greatly injured by the obstructive and
violent course pursued by many of its advocates, I ear-
nestly hope that they Will seek to redeem the past by their
future conduct. I trust that they will rely on the force
of reason and potency of truth for the realization of their
political principles; for they may be assured that vio-
lence can achieve no triumph, ncr change effect no vie•
tory, unless the minds of our countrymen are convinced,
and their hearts interested in the establishing of that
liberty, and the achievement of those reforms we all so
ardently desire.
But, fellow countrymen, in directing your attention
to to the right and justice of that measure of reformial
con,
desirous you should adopt as the basis of ylour. ag't
I may probably make my views clearerl by laying
you a few of those general principles which form before
the
basis of my own political creed,
by lengthened argument. Tfhey

tto stand upon a footing of
consequently, equal hiornhoo
and the nature of the
the powers of their
equality, to determinceaolmnrtuhleerisn,stitutions of their eoun-
try,laws the., are called upon to obey.
t
That -this equal right of every member of the com-
munityaramoun and stands superior to all laws,
is p
customs,
forms, or ancient usage; it being a right be-
longing to humanity, and never to be abrogated without
a violation of justice.
That as the rational use, and just intention of all po-
litical laws and institutions are evidently to protect the
inalienable rights of the whole people, so ought the whole
to be interested and consulted politically, intellectually,
and morally, in upholding and maintaining the national
means and instruments by which those rights are secured.
The conclusion, therefore, that draw; from these
principles is this, that any particular order, class, or
portion of society arrogating to themselves exclusive po-
litical power, and combining for the purpose of excluding
their brethren from all participation in it, aro selfish
violatbii of the laws of God, and despotic usurpers of the
rights of pan.
