711 E REFORM LEAGUE.

meeting of the Reform
The following letter was read at the execu"
meeting on Friday evening last :
" Mortimer, Readina, June 11, 1861'
". To the Secretary of the Reform League' tri-
b ".Sir,—In reply to your circular I send a con.
le
ution to the funds of the Leacrue. It is Ibeffectively
to doubt that the popular movement, so
and at the same time
the main instrument in turning the fully Oa"
so legally and peace been
ducted by the two combined associations, has _
League at their weekly
of power from the opponents of the limited ii,eforili
Bill of last session into the advocates of house" e
suffrage and something more. I say of sometbinrg
more, because the lodger franchise plainly inter-
more,
dicts and must in the end break up the restrictir
principle of the present bill.tell
present holder:
" The plagiarist of Reform may call its
authors ' obsolete incendiaries and spouters of Staie
sedition,' but this is only the expression, in lan-
guage habitual to the servant of an oligarchy
the
13
speaking of the people and their leaders, of
speaker's consciousness that the measure Wilicil
bears his name is not his own.
•" Agitation ought of course to cease as soon as it°
object is secured. But organisation will still be
necessary to complete the victory and reap it 6
fruits, to defeat whatever of stratagem and subter
fuge may still lurk in a bill originally compounded
ed
of those elements, to get the new voters on
register, to stimulate them to the exercise of their
right, and to send up, with their aid, a renovated'
purified, and more national House of Commons-
iv.
" The head of the Tory Government seems, fr°. 1
his last speech, to have borrowed from the genic
his
imagination of his friend and guide the
idea of perpetuating class government on a net
basis by decoying the working men, who a us
months ago were being reviled amid the vocifercthe
cheers of the Tory party, into an alliance with . 1

class; but I trust that, however zealonsll tot
Derby may act his new part, it will be found oci
he has once more misunderstood the peoPle,,_ De
that the Government of which he is destined:curry
the involuntary founder will not be the G°3600
went of any class or of any sinister confeder„ois
of classes, but a Government of and for the 1"
