SATLIWAY. ALGust 14, ISM

On the subject and importance of Rrroata, we
have wo times more to fay than on the persons sod
characters of the Reformers. Sorry should we be,

that the success of the ;newest endeavour to possess
this grand desideratum, depeoded upon the ability,
the influence, t►e coortistency, or the reputation of
soy man, or body of men, whatever. No; we rely
as facts and circumstances more than on persons,

for the accourplishlo; that Gwent, the attainment of
which cosstiteies the greater or smaller vale, of the
forties of the country, and the Bore or less of
probability of Englishmen boding tbet heppioess
and security which, es men, they are entitled to
ender uheteter tom of Government they hays agreed
to lire. When a ass of political sensibility, how.

ever, complains of ea abridgment of hie social
liberty by the Weeds of Ministers os the Consults-
tie., ►e is told by his insolent oppressor, that 66 if
he is not contested with the liberties of kis owe
country, he may go to another in search of more."
Such an obsetvatioe is insolent to the highest degree.
For &Appose no other country could be resorted to,
where a greeter portion of liberty might he enjoyed,
it is no bar to the complaiat of a Briton w►o might
peasess• still greater portion of liberty &ban Ise \aldose,
or than be does thee enjoy. A C overnmeet, if kgifi-
mete (a nd that term is become very fashionable, among
Tories even), mast be formed, not only for the good of
the People, bat also upon the WILL of the People. It
implies, therefore, in common seine, that it shall dis-
pense the greatest amount of liberty possible to every

title or an estate: it is his birth-right, not as the son
of this or that man, whether that man were rich as a
lloet—powerfol as a CHAIrcELLOR—or loaded with
titles es a Duke of NOMIUMICULASD: It is a title
accompanying, and inseparable from, his coodities

it last, after all trials, constitutes the justice of every
claim end proceeding to establish it—TUE RIGHT.
It is the right whic► jestilies lho act to obtain the ob.

himself the prudence of the pursuit, by comparing
'the value of what he shall gaits with what he has lost,

however he may be disposed, ham baseness, to
forego his own enjo)meot of political freedom, it
is onlessfel in him to take any step which may
deprive his posterity of Its rightful po ion.—
No individual can do mere then lose his life.intercet
in the estate of natural freedom. If lie should have for.

upholding and maintaining that freedom, by vice or
idiotism, that ought not, it rennet, debar his progeny
from their claim. Let us be PO longer dinned,
then, with the private characters of the persons
standing forward in oscine the popnlarohe

cause. If their reputations are eaceptionable, why
do not men of mete esteemed characters prominently
take their stand, and show themselves equally the
Friends of the People? To say that such and such
men are ens orthy to be listened to,eed yet keep silence
il,emweles (contrary to C.eret's advice and his stow
of the obligation) is a dereliction of their ono duty;
if not a led hypocrisy sod dishonesty. It is
double dealing : which has always the countenance
of freed, and when discovered, is never to be for-

doubt there ere stony characters who have taken post
is this incipient struggle against whom much may be
said, bet they cannot jestly be abused as cowards,
and that is something "isles( their peccadillos, faults,
or vices.
