Intending to render our opinions on the subject of what is
generally termed Reform of Parliament, distinctly intelli-
gible, and, at the same time, clear away some ambiguities
wbickare popularly current on that subject, we yesterday

attempted to define the three most usual eignificadone

of a people. Despotism if pure—which it is proper

In all countries and ages, where there have been

most barbaraus.. to the most civilised, the attempts
have always been. made, to collect and obey the opinions
of the wise, or experiential; in managing the grand
interests, or affairs of the community. What is then a Par-
