neither debate our litgliment is practicable; and
if attempted, spentl themselves in air. The pro-
posi'ions, from the dictators at the hustings, reach
the ear of a vet y limited circle round their per-
sons. The walturt• of a hand, or violent gesticu-
lations seen afar, are si;,,ttals that the multitude
are to announce, by acclan4tion, their ucgoies-
cepce in bight questions of political science oriu-
rsprintenee, which they could not from' their
situation hear ; and which. in their coolest boitrs,

-- •
tew in the mass are qualified, by education and
mores of life, to aiSCIIS6.
The farce over ; (sometimes not unmixed with
tragic recollections, which the indiscretion of
every giddy boy or designing incendiary may
occasion), the itinerant orator remounts his steed
tor some new expkit, in Whatever distant quar-
ter lie ill-it-ilia he has a chance to succeed. \Yei
have before 'hii-ard of itinerant roter:s. at Iristi
county elections, but it remained for nor sis
ter cotiory to produce - itinerant agitators,
traversing distant portions of the kingdom,
in which they are unknown, and without 'a
toot of land in the shire which they in-
vade.--We find them, with the hallowed name
of liberty on their lips, witching moments of dis-
tress among the lower orders; nut to soot he, lint
to exasperate ; not to support their drooping spi-
rits by reminding than of the superabundance of
trade and manufactme which they so lately en-
joyed, and to advise patience tinder a temporary
evil—but to disseminate political discontents tin-
connected with it, and excite contempt for that
fonts of Goveromeut, so long the. pride of every
description of. Britons. As the result of all their
movements, they may have the pleasure to reflect,
that by a perversion of public feelings, they have
a Chance to,„&tnder acts of sedition, perhaps
an easy transition. It is to be !loved,
however, di it they will rail in their attempt to
convert artizans into politicians ; and that nt least
their po/itica/ grievances will rod with the return
of beef-steak and plum-pudding.

EMPLOYNIENT OF THE POOR.

MR. ED/TOR-1 was much gratilled by reading
a very intelligent article on the subject of Turn-
' pike Roads in your Paper, a few days ago ; and
as you invite colimunications on that head, dur-
ing the recess, I send you.the following remarks,
which have been suggested by the grLt improve-
went lately made on Roads, and by the alarming
necessity of creating some National Employment
for the Poor.

A RepoifOf a most intelligent Committee of the
ilouse-ofComMotis, on Turnpike Roads, before
the Public; by which a better and more econo.
mical system of Road Repair is recommended, and
proved, by incontestable evidence, to be available
in every part of the kingdom. It also presents
the incalculable advantage of providing useful anal
immediate Employment for a great number of 1,11
bourers in every part of the country, and kVith.
funds alrcacty provided, which only require to have
a more proper directiim.

House of Commons she's's. th:it the improved sys-
tem of Rold Repair reduced the expenditure, at
Epsom, in Surrey, more than one half, while it

their Poor.

There are 25.000 miles of Turnpike Roads in
sngland and %Vales, and upon each mite two men
may be advantageously employed, in additkon, to
those already at work, and without any.inereas•
of expellee; by merely adopting the plan ;Tema)-

ing, and applying the materials, and thus giving

DUREss To ME REFORMERS.

11 Frtury tovrcritritii,

At this critical juncture, it is incumbent upon
nu, moot seriously to consider the consequences
•t the ceps you are taking. Yet, a little farther,
4MI 71.11 will plunge your country into all the
Itorrore of citil warfare. Think then, whether
tt.e objects you desire are worth this bloody
nice Whether, after all, you are certain of at-
aininc torus ? ‘Vhether, if attained, they would
couture to your benefit l And filially ask your-
c-lses—how it happens that the Constitution.
..biclA was estab►ished by your forefathers, and
beneath which your country has risen to an un-
exampled pitch of glory and prosperity--is not
floury enough for you ?

Revonss ! its 4t is what you serk ?—That is to
toy ItsvoLuTtort. Do not mince the timer—
that is whet you ask .--.lnnuat Parlianceitts and
Universal Suffrage are a complete Revolution
Univcrsal Suffrage indeed, will give all the thieves
'and pick-pockets who want to rats you of what
you have got—all the ruffians who would cut your
thronts if they durst—and all the miscreants who
have cheated the gallows—the right of choosing
people to govern you, and there can he nn mar.-
ner of doubt that they will ritor,le such as thent•
telees,--Yott give to "loch a' those theft the power
to .00ttl all the Laws which at present restrain
t!.em front sitting mischief. These saes to he
some its the ostle.otiges of UniversAl Suffrage.

By Animal Parliaments again ymt turn out your
Nl•oshers---not before they (►rve hul time to do
iiiteliirt—tor that it done test enough, but hrtore
:hey could possibly dr► •ny good—for flint is the
;mit ot leisure, wisdom, and deliberatil.n. A ni 411

might but down your house in All hour, though
tir could not build it up in a month. Route, you
know. wAs not built its 4 day, though it was de-
stroyed in one. !Still you will tISITt the advantage
iit hiving new Laws and new LeKislaiors every year,
tuuul the last fumy always revoke what the others
d;u—nod these—with en unusual riot at every
Election—stern the chief benefits of Annual Par-
inents.

But what, I would ask you, is your objection to
our present Members of

Are they not upon the whole, men of sense,
experience, character, and respectability ? Ni.
:veil are perfect. But if every one of you might
p;ek out u whole P.ttliament to please himself,
do von think it would be much better chosen ?
Tiiry are men who pare knowledge, leisure, and
;Arms. and zeal to lihamr fur you, whose pro.
speri'y depends upon yours, nod who Stern quite
as tit to be entrusted with the arduous and Corn..
pl leered management of the "Cars of a great Na•
as the ignorant and unprincipled wretches
who are bellowing for Reform in your Street!,
pretend they want to mend the Con.titution.
in order that they may pull it down about your

tars.

Do not deceive yourselves my friends, nor let
others deceive you. Think not that the worthless
dt'•jgning men who are among yon, and whose
insidious counsels would pervert you from peace-
able and respectable subjects, into seditious and
- disaffected malcontents—have any other view
than to tusk• use of you as tools to overturn the
Constitution, amidst tl►e ruins of which they hope
to eciatuble up to those situations which they
can never ha Cc a hope Of attaining in any well
ordered Go►crnntent.

You would nut !suit your porte to a man whose
Cheiracter Was notoriously bad—Anil yet you Will
trust your peace, your security, your precious
rights, which money cats tte,ar ioircloist, to a let
of desperate villains, who neither fear Goal nor
love neither their Icing nor Country,
who have every thing to gain and nothing to
lose—neither fortune, character, nor t espect-
. obili•r.

You arsiy'llsink you also have nothing to lose,
my friendi:•hecause pvrhsps you arc 'poor. But
you have rights with which wealth svould he
iorecure. Rights, which ensure not only the
' safety of yi's- person, but your freedom of coo-
. s:ience, Alla freedom of action. You have rights,
tshich enable you to let at defiance the power of
the greatest man in the kingdom to harm you—to du
sod say what you please, and to go and come un-
goestioned when and where you please. Where-
as, in other countries, the lifts Of the People
mainly depend spoil the will of their Rulers.
'rile, nisi be imprisoned without reason, sod de-
spoiled of their little property without redress.
They are obliged to do whatever their superiors
order them, aid are not allowed even to go from
one town to another without permission of the
)lagistratts.

Yet many of 111111 e countries ears ones pro-
sperms, snit frit% still they lost it all by fictiutis
rts,ceedings, by discontent, and not knotting
when they were wall.
They begat) iu this viol in the -rsetrehatrtule.

Liberty—reasonable Liberty !...._They bad their
way. They tent ,Iteforn, and v, and thou-
sands and tens of thousands, tend millions of the
very People wholititt cried nit for them, pelialied
by 'Amine, the guillotine, disease, and the sword.

They fell, to use a homely but forcible ex-

stance, and in ttyitic to get more, let slip chat

MS it of what is it you complain ? Are the Laws,
enacted for Iron buy your forefathers, unjustly ad-
ministered Arc the rights they Secured to yon
invaded ? No, it is you who want to
break through the Ltsys. It is you who invade
die rights of your Country.
You complain flint the towns of Manchester,
Leeds, and liirttiingharn have no Representatives
in P tali amen,. And pray what wrongs have they
suffered in com.equence 3 They have grown,
t.irb unexampled r.spidity, to an extraordinary
pitch of weal'h and greatness ; and they are now
ready to rebel acsinst ill • Goy.-rtiment to which
they owe their prosperity. You %want Liberty ;
sod how much more would yogi have ? You have
liberty to do every thing but mischief. You have
not liberty, to be ,tire, to assemble in immense
multitudes, and ottat•cli into towns es if you were
Ening to take pos.es‘ion of them by force, with
IdAck and bloody b,onuitrs, and caps typical of
Revolution, obstructine, the business, and exciting
ilie (rare of the sober and industrious. This is
inconsistent with social order, the peace of so-
ciety, and the safety of the community, and is,
that efore, forbidden by the L Ives of your C 01111•
try, which it is the duty of the Magistrates to
ottfotee. In future, my friends, take my advice,
follow nu banners but those of your Country, and
leave Caps of Liberty, and all other Caps, to
Fools.

Indeed, what you mean by elAmouring for
more liberty is mute that► I can conceive ; or, I
believe, you either. If you are injured, is out
redress open to you 1 If you are in wait, do not
the Laws give you a portion of the property of
others, and is not the ready hand of tienevoleoce
stretched out to aid it ? If yoss are sick, is not
medical assistance ready to wait upon you ? and
it you are hurt, ate not the Hospitals thrown
open to receive you ? Is there a single suffering
or cAlamily incident to our nature that Inystito-
tions have not beets funned to lessen and relieve I
Is there a plan that can be devised to 'alleviate

classes that the Rich do not immediately embrace/
How many of them are there who devote their
time, their thoughts, their Inbuilt-, and their in-
!lnciter to the work of doing good, and volun.;
tarily dedicate a part of their fortune to the same
benevolent ends, beside all that the Law takes
from them for the support of the Poor ?

It is, inked, too true, that those long years of
war, in which England fought, not ony fur her
Lai' s Ind Liberties, but for her vet y eiiistence as
a Nstion—thosa long years of danger and of
glory have stihjected us, in common with tAte rest
of the world, to many difficulties and
Yet but for 'bat war front which they arose,

France. You kyould nut now bs complaining, my
friends, fur complaint would not be allowed you.

You know what your Cuuntry4tafersa but you

who won't, persuade von that you are diseased,
And who, under the pretence of curing you, would
ruin your constitution.
There is an epitaph on an tinfortutiate Italian
ivho suffered himself to be treated in this way,
which I will give to you in English :

I was well and not sick,
Tv he better would try;
to I swallowed some physic,
And lo!—here I lit!

Do, not cast away this epitaph ; for if you fol-
low the iletieuc, exm-nple, you may write it on
the grave of your country.
Trials and misfortunes are the lot of man, and
tho‘e evil, which Providence, in its wisdom, has
tern fit to afflict us with, let us bear as becomes
men anti Christians. Let us not ag4ravate them
by our own violence and misconduct. Every
heart aud hand among us is ready to do his utmost
to mitigate them. Let us then labour together
to that end amicably, and like brothers, and not,
by falling ont, bring upon ourselves the far more
dreadful evils of civil dissentione and discord ;
for I cannot see how these will lessen the evil,
nor do I exactly understand bow Annual Parlia-
ments and Universal Suffrage—it you had them—
could make employment more plentiful, or provi-
sions more abundant and cheep.

My Countrymen !—You have now an import-
Int point to decide, and this is the moment in
which you most take your resolution. You may
yet stand fast in your duty to your King and
Country, but if you madly advance your despe-
rate career, you will no longer be masters of
your actions. You will be hurried shrug with
the torrent, and borne headlong to desolation and
blood. Yon may open the flood-gates of Reform,
but you cannot close Oleos sgaiust the over-
whelming tide. You may light the torch of dis•
cord, but you cannot extinguish its flames.
Pause then a moment—you who were foremost
to guard your Country in the day of danger—who,
when the united world was arrayed in arms
against her, crowded around her standard and
fought for her long and well—you Who so lately
rescued her flour all her enemies—would you now
plunge a dagger into her bosom ?
I an► talking as if it were in your power
to accomplish tt►is work of destruction—which,
assure yourselves, it is not.—The wise, the sober,
the temperate, the industrious, who form the vast
majority of the Commonwealth, know far too
well the blessings they enjoy, to throw them
sway in the vain pursuit of chimerical improve-
ments. They will not, like desperate gamblers,
stoke their all on the hazard of a die. They know
better ►han to overturn the Constitution, which
was sealed by the blood of their forefathers, and
handed down to them as the most precious depo-
sit, to preserve unimpaired at►d transmit to their
children. You can have no chance of success,
when all that is rational and powerful, and good
and respectable in the community, is opposed to
you. For it is not only the higher classes, but
the great body of the people---those of all ranks,
who know how to value the inestimable rights
and blessings they possess, and who see that the
wild measures you propose would lead to aggra-
vated misery and certain ruin.
You may, indeed, if you persevere in your
starred course—bring the scourge of war which
the mercy of God has hitherto averted from this
favoured land—home to your own hearths and
and you, and all that is dear to you, may, and
must fall among its earliest victims—for the curse
of blood Will be upon you ! The blessing which
was pronounced ou the Peacemakers, will be ter-
ribly reversed against those who bring discord in-
to the worlth—tir more against those who intro-
duce it into the heart of their country. You
think perhaps, that the situation of the rich and
great, is so enviable, that they would persuade
you to stiffer that they may enjoy.
Alas !' my friends, these times hear hard upon
all, and if ►hose who were before in want, now
feel severely the pressure of poverty, thousands
of those who were before opulent, are now
pinched
.by want. Nambers among the higher
orders are now struggling with secret distress,
and they are mote to be pitied than you, " fur
they cannot dig, and to beg they are ashamed."
Hut that many are rich there can be no doubt.
And why should they not ? They have become
rich by their own industry and talents, or by
those of their ancestors, and if, you had ac-
quired wealth by the same means, you would think
it but fair to be allowed to enjoy it youiselt, and
transmit it to your children.
But they arc wealthy, and you are therefore
envious of their abundance. You have little rea-
son even lot this. God has so proportioned the
sorrows and enjoymeuts of mess, that her li ss dif-
ference than pm imagine will be found at last be-
tween them ; and it the rick are not eiposied to
some of the bardships to which you are liable,
they ars open, on the other hand, to sufferings
of which you have no idea. Trust me, if you
could look into their hearts, you would find there
no extra stores of happiness, wattling, in short,
to provoke your envy.

111att, after all, is but the tenant of a day upon
earth. Whatever he may bold here, he mutt
leave, when his lease of life is expired, and it
matters little at the end whether his tenetneut hNs
been small or great, so as be has administered it
well, for of that he must give MI account at the
Great Day.
You think, perhaps, my friends, that I BM one
of the Rich and Great. You are mistaken. I
am one of yourselves. I have neither rank nor
fortune, nor houses nor lands, nor place nor pen-
sion ; but I have the Rights of a true-burn Briton,
and I will defend them to the last drop of my
