peril as that in which we hid been: • -Shear to him =
that there would be a changer:tea:worse to better,
and •he would become a Reformer also. But he
feared there would be some 'Revolutionists press in
among the Reformers. It was a choice of evils and
difficulties, and therefore he was for bearing the ills
we have, rather than flying to others that we know
not of. If we had as able and competent Memberi
1 Parliament, what mattered whether they were
elected by five or 5,000 electors? As we were said
to:11elis a* state of gradual improvement let it go on,
aril 4 no means use doubtful remedies for the cure ,
of a partial disease. He was convin:ed, that there
Would be more danger from the proposed innova-
tion, than from all old evils which were so much
complained of.
Mr. WELCH SUid, it was the duty of Britons to
maintain the equilibrium of the Constitution, which
he compared to an elegant tesselated table, and the
King to a beautiful column in the midst of it. Cob-
webs might hang about the column, bat let them be
brushed carefully away, not to break it. He had
Served his country both by sea and land ; he had the
trappings of a soldier at home, and he would put
them on to defeni the tesselated table and the beau-
itiful column. He declared in the face of day, that
the Housed Commons was like the London Work-
house.. Bonaparte had sown the seeds of civil and
religions liberty at the point of the bayonet, and they
would flourish, for so GOD pleased, and let the great
Monarchs take care. The Hunts, Cobbetts, Cat hies,
and such trash, were the worst enemies of Reform
and liberty. We wanted no standing Army, but a
good Navy, which was rotting in our ports, and our
seamen forced to go to get. bread in the American
service, who would die at their guns rather than be.
taken and hung up at the yard-arm. If the House of.
Commons did not Reform itself from within, it would,.
as Lord Chatham said, be reformed from without;
with a vengeance.
Mr. SI.A DE put it to the Court, whether any fair
answ.r had been given to the arguments of the Mover
and Seconder of the question? Let any man lay his,
hand on his heart and say whether France was hot
now in a far more enviable situation than she had
ever been in before. Reform had been called for
ever since the- Revolution ; in 1691. the Bill for Tri-
ennial Parliaments was passed, this roused the Re-
formers, as did still more the Septennial Bill, since •
which constant endeavours had been made to obtain ' • -
a Reform in the Commons House of Parliament..
They had only to refer to the recent case of die Queen,
to shewthar the wants and wishes of the people of
Enklated were not attended to.
Mr. R. SMITH opposed the motion. In his opinion
a standing army was necessary for the maintenance
of the liberty of the people—(Loud laughter). . Thet e
leas sufficient cause for its increase in the extension of
our dominions.
Mr. TAYLOR defended the proposition, and denied
, that there was any intention, on the pint of the Mover
and Seconder, to inflame-the minds of the People,
or to excite any alarm. On the contrary it was their
' anxious wish to conciliate all parties in this great ob-
ject, which occupied the minds of the greatest men.
since the Revolution, for since that time the franchise
of the People had been gradually limited and lessened.
Mr. GA 1. tow Ait should be a Reformer if there was
not a grievance in the country. Bat when he knew
there was such a catalogue of real and substantial.
not visionary, grievances in the country, it became
necessary to inquire into the cause of them. That he
found to be the want of a proper Representation of
the People; and he was of course anxious to remedy
the evil. In endeavouring to effect tit, the Reformers
had shewn themselves, not anarchists, but the friends
of order, because they sought the remedy by Consti-
tutional means. It should be no argument against
improvement that.Refot m would at some future day
produce some strange or unheard-of evils.. The only
thing they had to do was to point out the evil to the
Legislature, and then to leave the remedy to be ap-
plied according to its wisdom and discretion..
Mr. CRoCKER said, that when we were told of the
great increase of our standing army, we were notalso
told of the great increasing extent of our Colonies;
neither were we fairly told how much-our commerce
and manufactures had increased since the Revolution.
Ministers had, since the war, carried on one continued
system of economy and retrenchment—(Laughter).—=
He insisted upon it that they had reduced our taxes,
by no less than 26 millions since the peace commenced.
He could not consent to abandon the Constitution.
handed to us by our ancestors.
Mr. PATTY N contended that franchise meant,ftee-
dom ; and if that was the case, he would ask any.
r-man if the People of this-country enjoyed their pro-
per share of freedom? The feebleness of the argu-
ments against Reform was a proof of the badness of
' the cause of those who eppeased amelioration and
4mprovement. •
