Another Reform Speech from the member for
Birmingham ! It was a speech delivered last
evening in the Victoria Hall, at Leeds, and addressed
especially to the local Working Men's Parliamentary
Reform Association. It was to address these work-
ing men at Leeds—" If men that were unenfrane
chised," said Mr. BRIGHT, " could be fairly called
men !"—that the great popular Orator, Reformer
and Freetrader, had hastened so far northward for
the express purpose of making that speech of his
upon Reform yesterday. Mr. BRIGHT having re-
solved at once, he said, upon accepting the invitation
which he had received, "because he felt it was quite
impossible to absent himself from the meeting with-
out doing violence to his own feelings and his own
intense interest" in the great question of the reform
of Parliament. Although but very little that was
really new could in reason be expected to be
uttered upon. the subject of Parliamentary
Reform by one who has of all men living the
most strenuously and continuously striven to ex-
haust the Great Question of the Reform of Par-
liament—so far, at least, as any such great ques-
tion
can be eihausted—we cannot but rejoice, if
Only for one reason, immediately hereafter to be
particularised, that this more than thrice-told tale
should have been yet once more told all over
again by tile
earnest voice and voluble lips of
the eloquent
member for Birmingham. We
rejoice,
especially, that it was so yester-
day—that Reform: was again " ventilated " by
of another speech meansupon that old theme
from the mouth of Mr. BRIGIIT—if merely for
the timely expression by him of that hearty
indignation pervading the chief
'Part of his harangue,
that indignation not unnaturally felt by him
at the almost ludicrous contrast peesewe,
El to view
upon a comparison of the position of the Reform
Question within and without the walls of the
Legislature. It was only necessary for Mr. BRIGHT
upen this point, at the very outset of his• speech
"yesterday, to direct attention to the recent elections
at Reading, at Newcastle, and at S o u thwark, effectu-
ally to explain his meaning by the aid of those three
apt illustrations. At none of those important
boroughs, as he remarked not without a reason-
able appearance of exultation, at none of those
recent elections had a single candidate offered
himself to the constituencies upon the old Tory
principles, much less in opposition (even of the
most covert and specious kind) to the advancement
• of the cause of reform in ortr system of popular
representation. Nay, :Ir. BRIGHT had reason
when he added that, " with very few exceptions,
wherever there was a free constituency there was
a declaration of opinion in favour of reform, and
no man Could staid upon the hustings in any town
of the United Kingdom with much probability of
being returned if he was definitely pledged to
