WARWICK POLITICAL UNION.

Yesterday a public meeting of the Warwick Political Union
was held at the Grand Stand on the Race course, for the pur-
pose of taking into consideration the present alarming state of
the country, and adopting such measures in favour of the great
cause of Parliamentary Reform as might appear expedient. On
this interesting occasion a great number of persons not belong-
ing to the Union attended the meeting, and heartily applauded
its proceedings. Several of the members delivered very spirited
addresses ; resolutions of a very firm and patriotic character
were proposed, seconded, and unanimously adopted; and the
following petition, agreeing with and founded upon the resolu-
tions, was submitted to the meeting, and received with enthu-
siastic applause:—
TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF THE
UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND
IRELAND IN PA RLI A MENU ASSEMBLED.
THE HUMBLE PETITION OF THE MEMBERS OF
THE WARWICK POLITICAL UNION,
SIIEWETII,—That, impressed with the deepe.it and most painful
emotions of sorrow, disappointment, disgust, and dismay, excited
by the daring and desperate manoeuvres of the self-interested
and infatuated boroughtnonger faction, who have delude I,
though, we trust, only for a moment, our well-meaning hut
dreadfully misguided Sovereign—who have blasted the long and
fondly cherished hopes and wishes of his loyal subjects—who have
driven from the helm of Government an Administration pos-
sessing and deserving the confidence of the nation, and who have
thrown the nation itself into a state of indescribable distress, agi-
tation, and alarm. Under these appalling circumstances we fly
to your Honourable Rouse, as our natural and legally appointea
guardian., and we implore, most humbly but mostearnestly, that
You will remain true to yourselves and faithful to us, at this
awful moment of difficulty and danger, and that you will hold
out for our protection the constitutional power lodged in your

hands of reftaing to grant the supplies, until the just demand::
an almost unanimmus people have been granted, and the Before
unmutilated, has received the Royal assent. As men, an/-
is Englishmen, we feel ourselves entitled to claim more, but cer
sinly not less, than the full restoration of the rights secured t,
.is by the Bill of Reform twice approved by a majority of you:
lonourable House; and we beg to assure you, that we partici-
,ate in common with the great body of our fellow-countrymen.
n their firm and unalterable ros,dotion, never to desist fro-
arging our reasonable and constitutional claim to a fair, free, an,
adequate representation in Parliam;•nt, till that claim is acknow
edged and established by the laws of the laud. And your
petitioners, &c.
At the close of the proceedings the following was enthu-
siastically sung by the whole meeting, and the effect was suci
as maybe conceived of men who had assembled together to
assert their constitutional rights, and whose hearts were warns
in the glorious cause :
GOD GRANT TILE PEOPLE'S RIGHT!
TUNE—" God save the King."
God grant the people's right !
Fill our heart's with delight :
God grant our right !
It not her foes destroy
England's fair hopes of joy—
() God, Thy power employ!—
Grant us our right !
Guard us from slay'ry's chain
While we our claims maintain !
God grant our right
Britons are true and brave ;- -
And who would he a slave
0 God our country save I
Grant us our right'.
Shall Wellington be King
We rise on Freedom's wing—
I❑ Freedom's light—
And bid that King appear ?
We feel no dastard fear—
If all our foes were here
We'd claim our right !
Britons ! be firm and free !
Bend not the humble knee
To ask rout- right !
Prince of Waterloo! your C 3 T 6
Millions shall see arise,
Thundering to the skies
We claim our right !

REFORM MEETING at ST. IVES, MAY 15.

The most numerous and respectable public meeting ever
held in this town, (St. Ives, Huntingdonshire) took place
last evening, pursuant to public notice, in the large room at
the White Hart, Mr. A. Ashton in the chair, when the several
resolutions for Reform were proposed and seconded by the Rev.
J. K. Holland, Mr. T. D. Paul, G. G. Day, Esq., and Mr. J.
Leigh. They were all carried without a dissenting voice.
That which proposed our noble-minded and straight-forward
representative, (J. B. Rooper, Esq.) to present the petition, was
received with deafening and continued applause. If the mili-
tary Premier dare dissolve the Commons, his tools and sup-
porters in this county will meet such a reception as they never
experienced before. They will be hurled, without ceremony,
from their high places, and J. B. Rooper, Esq , returned tri-
umphantly, as he was before, as their true and real represen.
Wive. Let any -of the freeholders in London who have
votes for this country prepare for the contest, should there be
one, and be determined to return him again, as their Mem-
ber, to a House of Commons that shall dislodge the Premier
ani his Ministry from their seats into the abyss of obscurity,
which so well becomes them.
