to admire in the flummery of Lord EISSINOTON or Mr.

that ars bore preseat that they call Reformers; and
what they mean by Reform, is merely that which
shall keep them snug in their Matt without ex-
pense or trouble. We marvel that PlTen Moons had
set shaded the Reformers of Coventry, with success to
the use of their bludgeons and knives.—What we
*shed to bear, was, some specific appeal from the Ba-

not in noisy mobs to listen to stupid and vague and

the Baronet says would never rest; would never hare
a quiet night as long as there was one single farmer
in Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Berkshire or Wiltshire
naiaforused of his real situation. He would never
rest till every man of them was in motion to obtain re-
dress. The Baronet comes belting in after every good
thing that he says has been said over and over
and stedr again. This is not for want of talent;
it is net for want of health; it is not for want of
means of any 'sort; it is f.r want of a disposition to
make use of those means. He complains of the want
of power! If lie want power, who has it? De has
infinitely more power to do good than the Ministers
have to do mischief. Infinitely more power to obtain
redress than they have to commit wrong. If he had

now, he would pat an cud to these evils is a very
short space of time. If the blinisteis were to

around hiss in the different linadreds or towns, and
explaining to them the real nature and tendency of
the present state of things, it would have a greater
effect urns them than ten ihousand barasigut•s in the

them to be afraid of.
