GINTLEMIIN—In the present very alarming end
critisal situation of the country. I think it needless to
offer toy apology for the step I am alma to take.
'lave been long known to you as the advocate of Par-
liamentary Reform; sod not to make another strug-
(le in its behalf, especially when the people seem
o be somewhat aroused to a sense of tbier altered
condition, I should consider as conduct base, cowardly
and criminal. Having been very long, and, since what
►as passed during the present Session of Pediment,
more than ever convinced, that nothing can extricate
the Country from her difficulties but an efficient Reform
in the Representation of the People, I feel most anxious
to communicate with those persons in the County of
York, who entertain_ sentiments similar to my own ea
this most important and vital question.
Headmen, a public debt, more enormous than that
ander which any nation ever before crouched, and a
consequent overwhelming, ruinous, and now nearly
intole►able load of taxation, are the causes of the
frightful prospects w►ich present themselves to our
view. From these grievances we
be relieved, unless that vicious mad usconstitotional
system is annihilated, w►ich bas been the cause of the
one, and which is deeply interested io the maintenance
of the other. Parliamentary Reform? therefore, I coned.
endoosly believe, is the only m 000000 which can effect our
present salvation, and give us security from future min

Gentlemen, you will doubtless expect to bear from we
what plan of Reform.l should wish to see adopted. I
answer without hesitation, though 1 conceive the mode
of operation must be left to that assembly, to which
alone it can be referred, that the country ought not to
be satisfied with any scheme of Reform, which would
not provide for the abolition of that 'ado' and sneezed-
-1 totional iolluente, which bas so long prevailed in the
1 House of COMIDOSS, keeping both the Sonnies and the
Subject in thraldom.

of York who concur with me in opinion, I hope shortly
to afford them ao opportunity of making their sentiments
known.
