In Westminster the canvass Is very active, and it
is plain from the reception of the different Candi-
dates and their friends, in many quarters, that a large
and respectable part of the community consider this
as a fit occasion for marking their disapprobation of
the system of Universal Suffrage, advocated by more
than one of the Candidates. We speak not now of
those who may be called strong party-men, and who
may be charged with manifesting, at all times, a
readiness to serve the party in power, whatever
may be its principles, but of sober and temperate
men, who would rejoice to see every corruption
removed from the practical machinery of the Bri-
tish Constitution. They cannot understand, and
indeed no man of sound understanding can cods-
prebend what possible benefit could result from that
sort of universal suffrage which would give to the
man in livery a privilege withheld from his mistress
who feeds and clothes him, or. in other words, pays
all his taxes : nor can they approve of giving the
right of voting to a man's domestic servants as well
as to himself—a privilege which, in many cases,
would be in fact to confer on the employer as many
votes as he has male servants besides his own!—and
all this forsooth to put an end to corruption ! !—Away
with such nonsense. Instead of improving, szch a
system would entirely destroy our happy Constituton.,
We cannot, therefore, avoid pressing upon our
Readers the propriety of weighing well the motives
and objects by which they should be influenced in
giving their votes. If they do so they will, as far as
they tan, give, by their votes, a practical Illustration
the value of the British Constitution.
