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 Workin g Men's Parliamentary
Reform Association. It was to address these work-
ing men at Leeds—" If men that were unenfran.
ehised," 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 ateepting 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-
ihunent—so far, at least, as any such great ques-
tion can be exhausted—we cannot but rejoice, if
only for One reason, immediately hereafter to be
partienlatie,,d
, that this more than thrice-told tale
should have been yet once more told all over
again by the earnest voice and voluble lips of
the eloquent member fir Birmingham. We
rejoice, especially,
that it was so yester-
day—that Reform „,,,as
again "ventilated " by
means of another speech upon that old theme
from the mouth of Mr. IA
—1t1111:1T—if merely for
the timely expression by him
ofof
his th
gahtabryha
ne ahruitmey,
indignation pervading the chiefp t
that indignation not unnaturally felt
at the almost ludicrous contrast
position of the presented to view
upon a comparison of the
Reform
Question within and without the walls Of the
Legislature. It was only necessary' for Mr. BitionT
upon this point, at the very outset of his speech
yesterday, to direct attention to the recent elections
at Reading, at Newcastle, and at Southwark, 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 our system of popular
representation. Nay, Mr. 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 stand upon' the hustings in any town
of the United Kingdom with much probability of
being returned if he was definitely pledged to
