citizens. This Association is, however, proud of being fore-
most In raising the standard of Parnamentary Reform, convisked
that the imperfect sod corrupt state of the Represematiots
b the sole came of .all the titlarks of the nation: the sys-
tem of eked.. being no test either of 4:outriggers., public Meter
and borough patronage, which returns half the members. being

sad the hearer sad glory of the Crown, have beta amerrembell
jodgiag of a tree by its fruit, we will state the striking fact,
thee the Hesse of Cosmos% sines the Revolution, whets k mere
completely ideocided itself with the State, has. in this last 141 yews,
voted away three dammed aloe hundred and 55 minions of the public
money; although in the previous one hundred sod forty oat years, •
in support of the glories of Inizabetb and the eziravapare of the
Stuarts, an its votes did not amount to two hundred and slaty mil-
lions, or about one-six:moth. Nor, in spite of remonstraace and
public suffering, does it yet relax in these cotes; for, including
the half pay, the dead weight, the &delver bilis, sad the debt
to the Bank of England, the whole public debt is new at Mao
MIT minions more than it was at the end of the war in 1415,
then& from sisty se snooty minions per anima have been messed
on the people.

" S. That this Association perfectly Agree with the patriotic
Meeting at Birmingham, that doe investigation should be made Antis
the expenditure of such vast sums; sa4 Members of the House et
Common* who, fur themselves or families, have. as Stewards. be-
trayed their trust, ought to be leaden' refuted with Lateran ; white
Borough Patrons, se ho have conspired for personal advatitagt s,
ought equally to be made responsible. In these debtors to the
Nation the public creditors have some hope of indemnity. for the
time has arrived whets it seams lappoasible fur a beggared people
to continue to pay the Interest of debts created by the notorious
profligacy of their Stewards, who, not cootent with drawing zt
millions in taxes, have created a debt of SSA millions, and reitilered
the nation tributary to Jews and money lendero—ntortgaged ail
its property—and pawned all its industry In perpetuity for the
laymen of an inglorious tribute of thirty millions per swung.
History records Instances of conquered people paying tribute to
landless conquerors ; but the case is new of tribute being
imposed by generation upon generation. ha support of ques-
dens of which 'according generations
.can have no dignisance
At the some time as the present price of the fends enables
all creditors to withdraw, seam at a profit, they must here-
after blame only their own cupidity and hardihood if the
time antra when the nation refers them for Indemnity in
those who chiefly profited by their credulity. This seems certain,
that the continuance of the payment of a tribute of thirty millions
Is st mice so ignondnems and so impossible. that the wise and pro-
&at will. while they are able, cease to be parties in exacting their
share of It.

" O. That while this Ageociation lament the necessity of the con-
elosion, that those who iniptovidestly lent their money to a hurrupt
House of Commons, and who may obstinately persevere in cot:-
dada, their emalitience, should, by palls circumstances. be
placed In hand, they invite the concurrence of the same parties
in supporting the only altomative in which lies their security. If
the nada, from mind modem, can cognitive to pity them tribute,
till as equitable adjutant ma be formed, the nation cannot,
et the same time, afford to pay double tribute, for the sup-

doss they have ineseeeed poverty to such an extent that the
saucy and very slender provisions of the poor cost from Seven

b' all these teatime on • suffering people, the present House of
01113010136 are almost unaninsoos parties ; and whenever questions
are raised, they are about pounds, and not about minium. It,
therefore, merits the scrims consideration of the body of the fund -
braider. whether their security is not identical with the abatement
of this wasteful expenditure; for the period cannot be distant
when, in the division of an inadequate revenue, a scramble niu:t
arise between the Tribute Receivers and the Sinecurists.

" 7. That this Association perfettlylgrees with their Brethren
at Birmingham, that no act could be more unjust and iniqelusus
then to diminish the sibount and usual facilities of currency, so as
to double or treble its value. without ar the same time and in an
equal proportion changing the public and privet. obligations of
parties, sod adopting measures to facilitate the arrangements of
the alsdog means of parties to their debts in the Previous and
new value of money. It was io its effects a robbery of the de.
fenceless class of debtors, and tended to throw all society into con-
fusion and discord ; while to continue to anew the same amount.
