THE STATESMAN.

LONDON:
FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1810.

IN our Paper of 'Wednesday, we laid before out

Readers the division on Mr. BR No's Motion fur
PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. We congratulate
the Country upon this fact..-that, after a struggle
of thirty years, which struggle was begun by the
late Mr. PITT, they (the People) have polled
Otis IIuNDRED AND FIFTEEN Members, f.
and in behalf of Reform. Now, there is this
pleasing conclusion to be drawn from the fact
that, going on as we have been doing, with,
the same degree of celerity, Reform must ar...
river amd that too from the House itself, in
the course of about SIXTY YEARS from this
time ! The people ought to be content with
this result. Sixty years more, and the tnajo.,
rity of the House ore with you, and you
have Reform without cost of any kind !
There are, however, some turbulent spirits in
this, as in all °tiler countries—men who are not
endowed with patience for this course of things;
we therefore again suggest what we conceive to be
a very ample remedy, and what will Reform the
House, at once, that is to say, at the next Gene.
ral Election. 'file people begin at the wrung end,
if they arc in a hurry. They should in that case
begin with the Candidates, and not with the Mem.
burs—let them make their bargain with their Can.
didate, before they elect him—let them take
the advantage which the Constitution gives them ;
lot Ltheua demand a pledge from the Candi-,
gate that he will vote for a due Representation of
ihe People, for the abolition of all sinecure
places and pensions, And will guard the public
purse in all other ways, and by all other proper
means. If the People will not do any thing for
themselves, when the power constitutionally re.
vertu back into their own hands, they deserve all
he treatment they complain of !

WE have given a most singular document, en.
der the head " DECLARATION." It is COpit'd
verbatim from a ban Mill prepared to be distri.
buted by the Clergy and Churchwardens, &c, of
every parish, for thefpurpose of gaining COUNTER.*
ADDRESSEs. We due not trust onrielves to corn.
ment on this paper, but we do hope its Mover*
and Authors will withdraw it in tune; and not
incur the hazard It may prudent.
