11 considerations, the bearing of these altera-

-ions on our domestic interests and our distant possessions,
on our Shipping and our Colonies, should not be neglected;
they should not be proposed and withdrawn ; they should

)f the f

not be opposed on principle one year and proposed the next ;
they should not be proposed on principles which they do not
carry out, and which therefore bear with them the seeds of
further disturbance ; above all, if they affect great interests, if
they affect large classes, and the distribution of wealth and the
value of property, and the channels of industry throughout
the country, they should not be proposed till there is some
chance of a practical result, beyond that of moving the pas-
sions of class against class, and of man against man; by fal-
lacious statements and revolutionary declamation, and thus
unsettling the foundations of society.
With regard to the CORN-LAWS specifically, I have
only to repeat what I have said before in Parliament in
former years, that if the object were simply to promote a
regular trade in foreign corn, and to derive a certain revenue
from it, a fixed duty was indubitably the best method of
proceeding ; but that, as I believe that not to be the object, I
PREFER THE PRINCIPLE OF A GRADUATED
DUTY, WHICH MAKES THE TAX LIGHTER TO
THE CONSUMER, as the burden of price increases, until
with high prices the tax virtually disappears. I believe such
a system best secures the grower of corn in a country in
which the general standard of prices, of comforts, and of
wages is comparatively high, against constant and unequal
competition with countries in which prices, comforts, and
wages aro at the lowest level; where it best protects the
consumer against inordinate profits; and, as far as the na-
tive of the case and the uncertainty of the seasons will per-
Ina, against great elevation or fluctuation of price in the first
necessary of life. But while I thus adhere to the principle
of the existing law, I say again, as I have said in former
years in Parliament, that I believe the pivot-point to be
placed too high, the present system of the averages to be ob-
jectionable, and the scale of duties to be too sudden in its
transitigia• _ _ _

Now on View

If in my preference of a graduated to a fixed duty I am mis-
taken, I have at least the satisfaction of erring with my great
predecessor, MR. HUSKISSON, whose name is more often
quoted than his doctrines are understood, and who claimed
the principle of the sliding scale for his own; and, if in de-
siring that the agriculture of my own country should be in
some shape protected, I am mistaken, L have at least the
consolation that I err not only in the company of that great
man, but in that of many of the most eminent merchants of
our time, and in company with all the civilised countries of
the world, including Holland and the United States, with
the exception, I believe, of Tuscany alone.
But if in this point I am mistaken, or if in this point, as is
very possible, my opinion should not coincide with yours, if
I have been placed by my own conscientious conviction, in
points like these, in apparent opposition to important inte-
rests, the value of which I fully recognise, at least of this I
am confident, that no such difference of opinion will shake
that warm attachment to the Protestant altar and the Pro.
testant throne, to the principles of well-ordered liberty, and
earnest, though tolerant, religion, which has so long and so
peculiarly distinguished the English character and the En-
glish constitution in Church and State, and the maintenance
of which has so long and so often recommended me to your

the Ccinservatire party, and can only be averted for the
future by the strenuous efforts of the constituent body at the
approaching election ; and, in addition to giving these proofs
of hostility to the Church, her Majesty's ministers, by un-

constitutionally retaining office under existing ciriumstances
have done much to place in peril the just prerogatives of th.
Crown, and the liberties of the. People.

if you apin confer upon me the high honour of a seat in
the House of Commons, as your representative, the mainte-
nance of those prerogatives and liberties will ever be the
main object of the exertions of
Your very obedient

That in an Eventful Crisis like the present, when a Dig

olution of Parliament is forced upon the Country

Admini

sole object to retain in power a weak and wavering
tration, in whom the Representatives of the People have de
clared they have no confidence, it is the paramount duty of
all good and loyal Subjects to use every exertion to return to
Parliament men who will strengthen and uphold, and not im-
pair or pull down, the valued Institutions of the Country, who
will alike protect the just Prerogatives of the Crown, and the
true. Liberties of the People.
It ?vas Resolved, on the motion of WILLIAM SHAND, Esq.,
seconded by CHRISTOPHER BUSHELL, Esq.,
That this Meeting justly and indignantly condemns the
efforts now making throughout the Country, and in this Dis-
trict in particular, by the agency of Itinerant Orators, to in-
flame the worst passions of the People, and to overawe and
interrupt the free and legitimate exercise of the Elective
Franchise.

Esq., seconded by JOHN SHAW LEIGH, ES(I.,
That the thanks of this Constituency are justly due to our
highly respected Members, Lord Sandon and Cresswell

sented Liverpool in Parliament, has been such as to deserve
our highest approbation, and to entitle them to our renewed
confidence. - -

It was Resolved, on the motion of SAMUEL HOLME, Esq
seconded by JAMES ASPINALL, Esq.,

That we pledge ourselves to use every legal exertion to se-
cure the election of Lord Sandon and Mr. Cresswell.
