BAHE-FACLD DENIOCRACY.

" Although our Champion has placed funds fur all reason.
able purpocrs in the hands of this Committee, still they deem
it fair to make the Public auxiliaries to this great work."
This acknowledgment of eflormus bribery on the
one hand, and invitations to a continuance of it

on the other, concludes with announcing the
places for receiving the means of Burdettite Cor-

ruption.

1 BRITISH' AND FoIiFIGN SCI-looL SocrP.TY.—A
must numerous and respectable alSemhly of Ladies
and Gentlemen, Subscribers and Friends to the
British and Pmeign School Society, assembled on
Thwsday at the Freemasons' Tavern, to receive
the Annual Report of its Committee. It was the
Fifteenth Anniversary of this most enlightened
Institution ; and the Report of the past year, il-
lustrating, as it dues, the progress of intellectual
improvement, in every portion of the habitable
world, most afford an unalloyed gratification to
every friend of the civil, moral, and religious im-
provement of his species. The Duke of Sussex
was in the Chair. He was supported by Mr.
Wilberforce, Sir Alexander Johnstone, Chief
Judge of Ceylon ; It. T. Farquhar, Governor of
the Mauritius; Colonel Billings, of the National
Guard of Paris ; Mr. Alderman Wood ; Mr. Pro
lessor Hetet, of Geneva ; Mr. Allen, Mr Clark,
Nlr. Miller, and many other distinguished chatae-
tem Many admirable speeches were made upon
the occasion by several of the chief pet .pus who
attended, and which ‘vere %%ell calculated to pro_
'note the !imposts of the Institution, and we re-
el et that We have not room Sur a full report of
this intereting Meeting.

The fnllowing Placard lois been issued by a
Burdettite Committee, and the unblushing avowal
that they aitn at UNIVERSAL ."_itirt,RAOß Mid AN-
NUAL PA:U.:A:VENTS IS a plain proof that their ob-
ject is to destroy THE CONSTITUTInN
" To the Flagitious arts of the opponents of ‘Vestriainter'i
Pride and England's Elope, Sir FRANClllkunErr, the in.
polled Electors are nostrangers. °filly glorious cause of (Tin-
versa' Suffrage and Annual Parliaments, there is nu cause for
despair. The rival factions Who, in resistii/g► the grand
Achtales of Sir FRANCIS BtraDETT, hope to prolong the
richetty dotage of this antiquated Government, shall be
finally overwhelmed. Unpolled Ekretors—remember the
great cause of Annual Parliaments and Universal Suffrage
can he endangered only by the criminal supineness or too
greedy calculation of the independent voters. Away with
the sordid spirit, of barter. The Committee cannot permit
the pocket of Sir FRANCti n .RDETT to he dipped into as if it
bad no bottom; there is a point of prudence which they can-
not pass. Gold may he bought too dear.

"The Committee think it right to state that they now know
the placards and circulars which they have disclaimed were
the well meant but mistaken acts of well-wishers to Univer-
sal Suffrage and Annual Parliaments. Rut mere zeal is a
dangerous advocate; and, really, this Committer, which, for
the remainder of the contest, will sit from eight o'clock in
the morning till eleven at night, must beg so far to restrain
the ardoor of co-operators, as not to be made responsible for
proceedings on which they are not con3ultea. The Elector'
will he upon their guard against the disgraceful tricks of the
partizans of Romilly and Maxwell.

; " This Committee adopting, in its Very essence, the grand
principle proclaimed at the close of the late Parliament by
their renowned Leader, and disdaining all subterfuge upon
that greatest of all points, expressly declare that they do not
wish to carry the Election of Sir FaANcts Bir RDETT upon any
other than the broad ground of Universal Suffrage and :\n•
nual Parliaments.
