wish to take an active part in parish matters,they will
naturally be preferred as Representatives ; for if we
are to assume that the people who pay rates will
choose men without property and intelligence to re-
present them in the Parochial Council, we at once
pass sentence of condemnation on all representation.
Where are we to stop, if we thus incapacitate the
community ? Six hundred Manasseh Lopezes may
be better judges of the persons who are fittest to
have the irresponsible controul of the money raised
by taxes from the people of this empire than the
people themselves, arid six hundred Westburys
would be an immense improvement in the present
system of Parliamentary representation. But an
improvement even on this improvement may be de-
vised ; for when once we determine that people
should have no voice in public affairs, there is no say-
ing at what point of improvement we may arrive.—
If the persons who pay parish rates cannot be
trusted with representing the Council for managing
and controulling the expenditure of them, repre-
sentation can never be good for any thing. We con-
tend that there can be no adequate security for the
proper management of public money without a re-
sponsibility to those who pay. We have seen in
the case of the parish of Marylebone, that highest
and most respectable names afford no guarantee for
honest managernept to the public. Who is so high
in this country tilt he is above jobbing ? Were
not the Members of the House of Commons them-
selves obliged to have recourse to a new mode of
electing Committees on Private Bills to pat an end
to the flagrant corrupt;on which used to be committed
in these Committees, and which they could not
otherwise check ?—Morning Chronicle.
