of the STUARTS, and the DREADED EsTABUSHM ENT OF Po-

"? ANO Desronsm." In another part of his work, he
4771," it is well known that the LEADERS of the Foxites
e, re *along those THE MOST AVERSE to Reform ; that they
tank
n "teens' the usurpers of the nomination to Seats in Par-
t, :neer, and that by their corning into office ALL HOPE of
ef"ns would be at an end ."' After such an exposition,
11 °n4(l and disinterested individual, who, from the
Advanced Period of his life and his infirmities, cannot be sup-
,_ed to be influenced by personal or selfish motives, it is
41'P"'141e that any rational being can shut his eyes to the

character of the Modern Whigs; at he, in the present
state of things, the advocate for the readmission to office of

yln thus becoming the advocates of Popery, and the oppo-
;t4' of Parliamentary Reform, the conduct of the Modern
hags is consistent ; fur to consolidate their power, and to
"P,tuate their influence in the House of Commons, nothing
itut"uting but the admission of the Papists to the Legisla-
oire 'lt'd the higher offices in the Stare, whilst the correction
v 1119'e abuses which have crept into the practice of Eltc-
-447 t" Parliament would be a deathblow to all their hopes
4:1-,views• The insidious manlier in which the real objects
f
tut Modern Whigs are concealed, is worthy of notice and
41th"ni°Iir that the delusion under which many persons have
1,1
''urtd, in believing them the supporters of the Constitts-
:4' and actuated by high and disinterested motives, may be
d Pthed i and that it may be known, that though the Mo-
dern Whigs have, and will again, bring forward motions fur
Plteforin of Parliament, they are the secret and active op-
4ents of that measure; and only profess themselves the
44verates for it, that they may prevent its falling into the
hands
of disinterested individuals, whose rational views, and
Thf
"'rate proposals, urged with a sincere and unaffected zeal
our ancient establishments, would ensure their adoption ;
4.1111,t their own wild and visionary schemes, so extensive, so
in principle from the existing Constitution, and so
alarming to every well disposed awl sensible mind, secure
v'Mlinnance of the abuses, which this faction is so much
Interested to encourage and perpetuate. For this purpose,
f may refer our readers to Mr. NICHOLLei Work; at the
-"1" time calling upon them closely and dispassionately to
iitt'estigate the conduct of the Whigs on every great constl-
t4lbii°nat question, since -Mr. Fox and his Party first became
ects of public attention, and then, to decide whether the
;:ftlains of that Party are intitled to the confidence of the
thulik ; or, whether the only course to be pursued, by which
itl'. Civil and Religious Liberties of the Country can be
"n3iTled, the Hierarchy upheld, and the Legislature freed
stet„
influence, dangerous, and unconstitutional, is not,
12 firmly opposing the re-admission of the Modern Whigs to
Wwtri-Linci strenuously requiring, the immediate correction of
e ',buses which have been engrafted by the influence of that
"Partyit oa the Representative System, and, thus, restoring
{hat freedom and independence which it once pos.

These reflections naturally lead us to revert more particu-
rlY to the subject of Parliamentary Reform, upon which we
bare frequently expressed our opinion, and again to declare,
that' adverse as we harealways been, and ever shall be, to the
ti°g.tines of Universal Suffrage and Annual Parliaments, we
i
-4te always felt convinced of thg necessity of reforming the
-u'rupt practicts which prevail at elections in Close Bo-
t'71". They are a gangrene which have been nursed and
t.,,
;711shed by the venality and selfishness of a powerful lac-
iu"). him have always most lavishly dealt out their promises ,
to
the People, and invariably deceived th.ln in the end.—ln-
- hfterable are the instances which could he mentioned, but
t4it conduct in power in 1806-7, is sufficient to justify this
):r""i•—Wit bout the Reform we have mentioned, we agree
%tit' Mt. Nicuochs that the most serious evils may be appre-
"4,l. He says,, "As an Englishman I hare always wished
fOl Reform because I have always been of opinion that if
:.4cform did not take place, Revolution would be a neces-
sary consequence of the existing abuses."
the term " Reform" many people object; for our own
Parts Wt can sec nothing objectionable in it ; but Mr. Nl-
"ft,its's definition of it is clear and accurate, and strongly
1'11111" the difference between it and REvoLuTrost, with which

ttis,
nY ate apt to consider it as synonymous. " I consider Re-
:, form," he says, " to be a correction of abuses, without de-
stroying the existing Constitution. I consider Revolution t
65 be A correction of abuses accompanied with the destruc-
Olt of the existing Constitution."
s 4 lee fact is, that the Whigs, acting the part which they have
th_ ascribed to the Government with respect to
ztrl'awretched and infamous Franklin, have, by their speeches
hii„factious addresses to the mob, raised an alarm in the
to
dread
of many sensible but cautious men, and led them
erm a Reform as subversive of the Constitution and
tiN to the destruction of every thing that is valuable
Country, well knowing that such were the most ef-
nr-e ual means of perpetuating a system upon which their
sent influence rests, and on which depends the realiz-
gt'4ll their ambitious projects, and, thus, has a large
R'n of the Community been withdrawn, by the fears and
ieetn:,:io raised, from an impartial consideration of the sub-
credit Reform, and the very term itself been brought into dis-
TC and disrepute.
and be. °Pinions of Mr. ntitor.f.s on this important roestion,
pclivis exposition of the duplicity and ambition of the Op.
lenc Itnts will doubtless render him the object of their Tim-
m) e and attack, but his character will rise superior to the
hi,, r 4 0f their malevolence. llis conduct throughout life
beenjte uniform and consistent, and his opinions on the sub-
tile' Reform are sanctioned by those of the most conti-
c,:nai and eminent Judges and Lawyers. who have ever
c 9 the greatest firmnsss in maiutaining the freedom of
d,stefons, and in suppressing every attempt to invade and
Opetir°Y it. It is not because Me. NtettoL. s dares, in an
thi, and manly manner, tu express his sentiments on
ands ther topics, and because those sentiments bap..
e,,LI to differ from those of the men with whom he has been
trlidered as associated in politics, that his character is to be
ced and himself charged with inconsistency; or because
wparuentary Reft» m is incompatible with the view of the
Rgn.rof forming a foundation for the power of an txTOLEs
Ouu.siren;t, that Parliamentary Reform is to be treated
1,, ws ,clierne for destroying that venerable Constitution which is
