LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 16, 1833,

We received two days ago a little Pamphlet
On the Ballot, which at the time appeared to us
not to merit attention. A Morning Contempo-
rary of this day, however, has judged so ditTe-
tently respecting it, as to have copied the whole
°f it into his columns. This is an honour which
think the author was far from deserving.
441 he trusted to his own merits for a passport
to Public notice he would have long remained in
Obscurity, for they are by no means apparent; but
as lie is before the public, let us inquire into his
t.reteusions. After a great deal of empty ver-
'age, he says—
" The elector who surrenders his independence of
~cl3,l,tlion or freedom of speech on politics, and systemati-
-4"Y disg ,
uises his real sentiments in order to attain the
pr
which the ballot promises him, at once demeans
:31„41f and disqualiffes, by confessing his virtue unequal
`ne honourable but responsible trust confided to it for
e good of the state. Let him give up his franchise, if
d:"ot excise it as a freeman ought—it is better to
thnnis, than to shirk, to evade, to skulk. Behold the
7:l:!'equence of his conduct! By evading his duty as a
ttiZen (ay ! under a very confession of untrustworthi-
;4), does he not, to the same extent, forfeit his righ.ts
ht,' these not inseparable and co-relative ? By insulting,
support
as far as he can, weakening it, does he not forfeit the
f of public opinion, which would be his most ef-
keetual protection against individual oppression, if he but
b!itifully appealed to it? Does he not sacrifice the very
p°44evt he would aim at ? In short, does he not at once
Yi the. fool, the coward, and the traitor ? for, as much
tii„,!a him individually lies, has he not deadened and.
i',lnished the force of public opinion, which is the aegis
0,811 Public virtue; and basely sought protection for his
'4 frail independence, by flight and concealment?
h;t`rtiVizue so frail as to require such protection is not to
vote hone An elector's first, last, and only duty, is to give his
elsestly. The duty of the public is to see that each
hi for does give his vote honestly ; if lie does, to guard
if 6 against all oppression or evil consequences whatsoever ;
e.cloes not, to inflict its just indignation on him and
°is partners in iniquity. Disable the public from form-
ih! this
very flyi-whe Opinion of the elector's conduct, and you remove
el of the whole machinery.
6" Every Englishman who takes advantage of the ballot,
aY maintaining in private life an habitual secrecy of opi-
ei:_t! on political subjects (for the ballot is a dead letter
'ad'
!), does his best as an individual to undermine the pal-
-4s of all our liberty—the last hope that remains to
t's•-•-the only hope that has not yet made us ashaniedi—
PUblic opinion.

ger of violent and untimely expression increased, in exact
ratios with the increasing secrecy-power of the ballot. If
this be consummation devoutly to be wished, you will vote
for the ballot ; if not, not."
If we were living in the proudest days of
ItOtnan virtue, this inflated appeal to the pa-
triotism of electors might pass as a pretty piece
°f composition enough, but constructed as society
hw is, we can attribute the production only to
e heated brain of a school-boy, who has
:ruled
his estimate of mankind from books,
()V knows nothing of the practical working
°ur political system. " Let the elector,'
exlis he, " give up his franchise if he cannot
ekise it as a freeman ought." If he were an
elector himself, living on a farm from which he
derived subsistence for his family, and were
stitered by his landlord to vote against his con-
tortl'ee, or turn out, lie would not be quite so
e 9 hands, There are thousands in this country,
wout,among the poorer orders of electors, who
cheerfully make large sacrifices in support
F,
atoil principle; but the sacrifice of an entire
-cre Ys---the starvation of a wife and children, is
has
athan can be expected from the man who
Whehjust appreciation of domestic claims, even
TheueY Press against political integrity.
Eeetos author of this tirade against the ballot
Perf is to think that the present system of voting
would ectand that the adoption of secrecy
Briti3hble,t the destruction of
the palladium of
diB_c:toerty. Where is this palladium ? Has
uto....e.vered it in the drunken scenes of Black-
