who stand pledged to confine them to these oh-•

thing like a drive at the Lord Joules add 'de Ltird
Csam.rexe, at Hatton and Old Sarum, and 'a the whoile

Hereford were to present such a petition as was presented
by the town of Ross last year, it would do itself !wooer
If it suffer itself to be noodled by these "Audis:
tical gentlemen," it will only get itself laughed Mr-.
Ruined the landlords and farmers of Herefordshire may
be; but it is better to be ruined without bring laughed
at, than to be ruined and laughed at too.—These
men propose, however, to treat of the causes of. their
distress.—The causes are: first, the loans made by the
House of Commons; second, by the Bank-Restriction
Bill, Weed by the House of Commons; third, by
Poses Bill, passed by the House of Commons : fourth
by the deadweight, of more than five millions a year
voted, created, established by the House of Commons :
Ifth, by a thundering standing army In the thee of peace, by
barracks, by military academies, by segmented pensions
and grants, and sinecures, all sanctioned sad established by
the House of Commons. What do these lending political
simpletons mean, then, by pledging themselves that party
polities" shall be carefully avoided! Why, there is one
party for changing this House of Commons, and if that
party has spirit enough to express Its seatimente, how are
these leading gentlemen to manage the mattet„ Gaon they
put an end to all party by going over sad joining these who
are for this change! We trust that the county of Hersh:
