RiathnlTlON.

we, whose names are heretultia subscribed, feel the 'necessity
ni 31t, form in Parliament, not only tp the maintenance of the
ty!tit and Pfnciples of the Constitution, but as a requisite to
collect and exert the Energy of a great and pnvakrful People, in
a (nese which has been fatal to the Nations that surround us,
from the corrtiption,•the treachery, or the imbecility of their

Governments.
WI: h these impressions upon oar minds, we rejoice that in the
last :.essiens of parliament, risiciplei have beet' offered to the
coa.ideration of the House of Commons, by one of the Members
of the County of Herts, which, if snbmitted to, and matured by
the House in Committee, srronld 'produce, we are convinced, a
remedy to the evils we complaint Off, and restore to us the hlesi.-
ings of a free Constitutionohar tnestienable inheritance, transmit-
ted to us by the wisdom and intrepidity of our Ancestors .
We thererore sequest that you will appoint a Meeting of the
Inhabitants of the County bf Kent, to take into their comddevition

'We, •lie Inltalian?* of the County of gent, In fUll County
Mreting a•senible.l. conscious of the eights we po►sess of address-
ill and petirinnirg your Honourable Moose upon all public affairs.
and ' b;• a high sense of the duty we owe to ourielves;
:nil to our to. n.ry, beg leave to lay before you our opinions add
sentiments on th, presort defective state of the Reptesen:adon of
the People._ . . . . . _ . •

To ese Wisdom and Justice of the original design of convening
is Parliament the Representatives of the People, to deliberate
afel co-op. Tate with the Sovereign and the Peers, upon every
qt,. Ft o of National Concern, we give our unqualified approba,
dal: but when we take into ourcoesidiratiou, the decay of some
Boron:hi, once prolperous and well peopled, the rise and Sou-
rishTg condition of others, fortherly of little note; when we re-
flat u..,‘,e the efiects of the heavy and insupportable expense of
hie-tto:t, which closes the doors of your Honourable House to
eta y ~1 the best friends of their Country, and 'robs it of their
• seriick.; when we think of these things, we are of ori-
gin, rl..tt yoar 11,1110=61e House is, at this time, by no means
a far Reretootat'an of the People; and from the manner in
viiic't a large. pottion of the individual Members obtain and se-
cu-e their s: .sl4 in your Honourable House, we cannot but infer,
rite ths. t,;;;11 and sacred office, intended for t;.e public kervice,
'ttqt,,.:ntly sought for and procured by uncon,ii..utional means,
and is too Ofzen perverted from its original design, and rendered
saSs:Tvicot to private ends..TO this cause we ascribe the greatestpr. of the rational Calamities we new have to deplore. The
mean prniciples, and narrow views, which have too long govern •
• the Councils of the Cabinet, the false ambition and little
t:iznies of its Members, the continuance of a system of espendl-
env lavish beyond example, the many disgraceful expeditions, in
which the bloid and treasure of our Country have been too pro-
wastLd, the decisions of your Honourable House in direct
npi osinoa to the general sentiments of the Nation, the unwil-
llngscis hitherto or:nr,:d by your Honounsble House to promote
insuiry into or correct abuses in the Representation I an unwils
haguess, which cannot fail to excite our distrust to diminish
the respect we owe to the name and functions of your Honoura-
ble llouse.—.tud we deplore partkularly,one instance of this Un-
willingness, of which we complain, in your rejection of a motion
made in the last Sessions of Parliament, by one of the Members
bf ;he County of liens, as that motion appears to us to be found-
ed upon principle A, which, if submitted to, and matured, by your
lionourahle linuse in Committee, would, we are convinced,
Follett: a remedy to those evils we complain of, and restore to
us the blessings a free Constitution, that inestimable inheri-
same, transmitted to us by the wisdom and intrepidity of our
Ancestors.

The time' demand titis open avowal of our sentiments, end in
langt age employed to convey them we intend no disrespect;
though, we are p .r.uaded, that no weeds can be too strong to ex-
pros of feelirgs upon chi occasion. li'lletefoie, We mast ear-
nes:ly mina• your Honourable House, to undertake, before It Is
too Le in a ue and cordial spirit, the measure of Reform, upon
princ„.vs, which, by Conciliating the affections of the People,
and restoring to your Honourable House its due weight and cha-
ncier, may revue our Country from domestic discord, stricl'se-
cure it :nom the foreign foe, give stability to the throne, and
prpetua.e the Constitution. •

assist his memory, by giving a kind of locality to events. It %ern
not only facilitate his progress, but give bbn clearer hicas of the
