MR. EWART, M.P., IN DUMFRIES.

-

On Tuesday night the member for the Dumfries Dis-
trict of Burghs addressed a meeting of his Dumfries con-
stituency in the Mechanics'-hall, which was well filled on
the occasion. Provost Turner occupied the chair, and
briefly introduced Mr. Ewart, who was received with
cheers. He said—Mr. Provost and gentlemen, it is not
without emotion that I hear those testimonies of your kind
regard, which you still honour me by bearing towards me.
thatlt is 1
h
true,av as my extcele practicelent frie
ofnd comingthe
here, I believe
Provost has said,
have beenin the
with scarcely an exception, annually since I have had the
honour of representing you. 1 think it is a wholesome
thing for a member to see his constituency, and for those
whom he has the honour of representing saying to him
what they think proper, so that he should acquire from
this return to his mother earth—as in the fabled mythology
of old— new force and new vigour and new resolution to
support that which is good in his propositions to the
Legislature, and to oppose all that he deems to bo evil.
(Applause.) Now, gentlemen, I can truly say that what-
ever may have been the effects of the opinions of others
on my conduct, it has always been animated by a desire
to do my duty, and I have been sustained in that
desire by the kind reward with which you have
allowed it to be attended. In the few words which I shall
address to you I shall advert in the first place to domestic
affairs ; in the second place, to what has happened abroad ;
and in the third place, to the humble endeavours of myself
to carry into effect what I thought was for the general
benefit of the country. With regard to domestic matters,
it would bo almost impossible to avoid bringing first the
great question of Reform. That is a question that agitates
the country from the one end to the other; and although
persons may take different views of it, they all see the
injustice of the present state of things. What are the evils
under which we are at present suffering? An inadequate
representation of the people is the most obvious. In the
next place, there is a most unequal division of the localities
that send members to Parliament ; and, in the third place,
I grieve to say that we have in England, at least, and per-
haps in Ireland, but, I am happy to say, not in Scotland,
manifest indications of corruption. I hold that the real
remedies for these evils are that, in the first place, there
should be a more equal distribution of constituencies. In
the neighbourhood of where I reside in England there is ono
town belonging to a noble Marquis that returns two mem-
bers, and another small place where a few hundred voters
return two members. That is an anomaly that should be
done away with, and that can only be done by a re-arrange-
ment of the localities that send members to Parliament, so
as to make them more adapted to the requirements and the
necessities of the age in which we live. I need not say
that I hold the extension of the franchise to be indispen-
sable fer the security and welfare of the cpuntry. Is the
last session of Parliament, we were offered a fair compro-
mise of this question, which was rejected. I know not
what we shall have offered to us by the other party, the
present Government. Of their liberal tendencies you are
all aware. (Laughter.) Whatever may be their tendencies
—whether liberal or not—l believe they will be obliged to
follow the impulse of the popular tide, and to concede some-
thing to the people. Now, what may that be ? I heard ono
member of the present Conservative party advocate Reform
to the extent of household suffrage ; and i have heard the
Attorney-General of the late Government advocate the
same thing; and if the present Government offered house-
hold suffrage, I would deem it my duty, as far as I could, to
support it ; if it was the general opinion of the House of
Commons, I would not be one to oppose it. Fromithe
speeches to which I havereferred, I deem it not impossible
that such a proposition may be made by the present Con-
servative Administration. But, as I said before, it is im-
possible to go on without a proper and fair distribution of
the localities which send members to Parliament. The
hon.gentleman went on to say that he 'should like to see the
system of voting-papers in use at University elections
adopted at elections generally, and to condemn the disgrace-
ful state of corruption in which recent inquiries had shown
a number of English boroughs to be. In Scotland ho was
