the liberty of the press, to restore the. rights of fair
rtspretientation,- to remedy praCtical abuse, or to
COllVieled WWII', comes into
debate on the day announced, because it is insinu-
ated that the friends of Mini,tcrs stay away. Now
if thereibe any foundation tor this assertion, cei-
tainly would apply in a stroug,:r manner to the Op,
position than, to the Ministers, because it would
prove that the Oppbsition feel so little interest for
the liberty of the press, the reform of Piirliamer,t,:
the correction of abuses, and the punishment of
delinquents, Chat. though they give notices of Mos ions
upon these subjects; yet,they will not take the trou-
ble to conic down at 4 o'clock to make a House. The
remedy which the Morning Chronicle proposes for
this evil (which we verily believe has not occnircil
ten times for the last three years) is ,n most u
cal one. "It is the- business," says the Chronicle,
" of the underlings 'of oftipe to come down at four
o'clock to make a House ;" and therefore to COSAIIe
the makiit of a House every day the. Chronicle pro •
poses to excluie them ft lain Parliament ! !
