Extracts from the Morning Popers,Aprit 15,1826.

[ME TIMES.
-Itr is by no discouraging division. that Mr.
Abercromby's motion for the reform of the elec-
tioneering, oligarchy of Edinburgh has been de-
featedohere being only a majority of 25 in a
'house consisting of 219 members. We have sel-
dotn seen Parliamentary, Reform combated on
any occasion, on which the enemies of the mea-
sure have not beet/ • driven to adopt some prin-
ciple or other, much more radical and jacobini-
cal than those with which ,the real reformers are
taunted. Thus it was'objected sneeringly to Mr.
Abercromby, that he was the ?epresentative of a
close borough, Caine, and that therefore he
should be the last man to attempt the reform of
the present corrupt system. Why, if all the
mock4epresentatives of close boroughs are to be
silent, and take no active part in the business of
the House, they might as well be turned out of
it altogether, and then we should have a Par-
liament consisting only of Members returned by
popular election ; which is something more,
we apprehend, than the most furious re-
former ever proposed, or hoped for themselves:
It was asserted that, Edinburgh had thriven with
its present detestable oligarchic franchise, exer-
cised by thirty-three privileged individuals.' We
have heard that city called " the Northern
Athens." The old Athens also, itself—the really
celebrated Athens—had once the felicity of being
governed .by pretty nearly the same number of
persons, gefierally known in history as St The
Thirty Tyrants :" and we have no doubt but
that the friends, adherents, and dependents of
these gentlemen,boasted in like mariner the thriv-
ing state of their country ; and alleged that state •
as the surest proof that the then government of
die thirty tyrants was the wisest and hl lt I hat ,
':ould be devised. However, to render the cases
wholly similar, Edinburgh ought not to be, as
she is, the parcel and poitioil of a vast empire, in
the wealth of which she participates ; hut, like
Athena, the head of a separate and independent
state ; and then we should have seen how she
had thriven under the oligarchy of thirty-three.
But Edinburgh, has thriven, though her members
are chosen only by thirty.three persons out of
a population of 130,000 ! And we should like to
know if the cities of Westminster and of London,
,he elections of which are .popular, have declined
in wealth and coosequence during the same period
in which Edinburgh has been improving ; or if
Manchester, Sheffield, and Birmingham, haviog,
no elections nor representatives at all, have also
wasted and declined during the same period ?
Of such value is the argumeotderived from thriv-
irtg. No wonder that Edinburgh is dragged along
in the general career of improvment in which
the whole empire has been advancing ; but her
ihirty•thre.e electors, and their representatives,
have had as much , to do with that improve-
meat as those other thirty worthies- mentioned
above, who have been enjoying such rest as
God allows to the wicked for upwards of two
thousand years. We are always sorry, ,on a
grave subject, to find one of those "
speeches,!' which only serve to, irritate. The
defence of an 'obvious wrong might at least'
he conducted with 'modesty; Others act with
more address and prudence. " The brazening it
out," in the 'manner of a certain Right Bon. Gen-
tleman, ca 4inswer 110 useful purpose. Pauciq
of electors," it was said, " is no reason for dis. I
franchising a borough." , But • panc;ty of electorsl
is at least it reason for adding to the nututter
without disfranchising the old owes. What right
have, these to say that they will be by themselves,
and that:M*l9 etso shall be iidmited neur then,

Of in their own estates, if they please; but they
have no.right to; be by themselves and that for
ever, being a self-generating body,. iu, the enjoy-
ment or a national privilege. „
