We are mach gratified at the caloeideace of some

attempted to reply to the Loyal Declarations is our
Paper of yesterday, which Some jest appointed is the
Scotsman. We are free to *chummier* that the ar-
gument of the Scetresse is more compreheesive than
our ems; It leads, however, to she same resell;
that tiro ceetemplatioe of the probable Wee of
the straggle new reel% betties@ the &kraus sad

the Adedni.tratioe. The writer, believer, is net

amity liberal I. all the parties between whom he
jedges. lie has taken np the sentwary end fa-
shionable way of replying to the Radical Reformer',

by essesing that their design is revolutionary.
and that le extend the franchise to the extent

claimed by the Radical Reformers, is to subvert the
Constitution totally. Upon what this argument is
grounded Heaves knows, for certain it is, that
',either no Courier, nor the Whigs, nor the Scots-
man, who is much more discreet then the Whip,
tire• any thing at all of the matter of proof. If
they d;,l, they would of necessity show it, and
moreover sours of them at least would lease off
osing the epithets proonourced against it, and in
lies thereof descend to the proofs of its immure.
Iptiety.--As the Scotsman very justly observes,
no one can honestly complain of oho sodas 101 l
ll f the press; it is open to all parties to
propose oniaions, and he is perfectly tight in assert-
ing that the people have not made t►eir election
without a full investigation and comparison of them
all. It is a pity that he should atop short of his owe
unavoidable conclusion, end take away from the
opinions of the free jedgirig majority, that discreet
merit which his position swords them, to bestow it
the Whigs, and, what be terms, the moderato
party. The iniaciple of Gene.al Suffrage iv, un-
dombtedly, so equitable principle; no ono will
deny its filiffifill in 11141 abstract; indeed, they
might as well deny the equal aloe of lifts or
limbo to each separate individual ; and as to the
danger of it, the same argument will apply
to the danger of allowing the clones proposed for
esclusion from it the right of existence. It can
poly be dangerous to the views of certain presuming
and usurping politicians, whose partial advantages
have no more to do with the well ordering of society,
than the appetite of s voracious to►tle eater has with
mend health. The Seaman does not perceive that

the very selfishness which he has detected in the
working of oar Parliamentary sj stem, ar:•l which, as
he observes, bas prevented the Senate from being be.
troyed inio any one act beneficial to the people for
mote than this', years past, is the war thins wills that
which makes the Whigs and Moderators abjure, con.
tenin„inselr, and columnist' General Soffrsee. No one
of them argots with it, though most of them "abhor"
h. The Scotsman is too good a metaphysician to re.
girlie to be told that no one can give a logics' reason
for " abhorring" opinions, and shut the only motive
to such a feeling lies in wounded or endangered *el-
fishness. We reed not 'shear this esgensent with
ypect to the Whigs; they deem themselves heirs
presumptive of Administration, and according to a
eery natural bias, they would limit the member of
persons to whom they 'weld be responsible as
mech as decency will allow. As to the Me-
desaters, lobo object to General Soffrage, sad
