•• It Is demonstrated (rays Mr. P.) beyond the
pnw.t of sehterfono to geihtinq that genuine re-
l•rrernfdit•s alone ran give solid power, and that In
order In make .11. Government strong. the Petrie
out make the Government. On this grand •saim
of political wisdom vow ought to act, end rail In the
People. according to the original princfpill of the
Cundibition, inostronetti of the f..;orernment,aod

in doing this yes will not i ate, you will only

" If a mew comet into thin lions. as the pro-
prietor of • berme tenor', he does not come here
as the Represenhatioe of the Pcopk. The whole of

to morality, as it krrniciaus to. file Government ;
is mires • scandal to our character, which not merely
de/trades the House or Commons in the 'yea of the
People, bet it doer more, it enrierdsistes the very
principle, of integrity in their I.earts' and give.' a
fashion to dishonesty and imposture. They bear of

who has been convicted In taking • single guinea for
his vote in the very borough perhaps where he had
publicly and usibiashirgly sold his inluence, though
that caiserahlt guinea was necessary to save a family
from starving, under the horrors of a war whirh he
had contributed to bring open the country ! Sir,
these are things that paralyse yens to the heart ; these
are the things that vitiate the whole slalom, that
spread degeneracy, hypocrisy, and sordid frond over
the country, and take from us the energies of virtue,
and sap the foutidaiimis of patriotism and
The system that encourages so much vice ought to be

" Having shown this to be the state .f the country,

Convulsion that would overthrow every thing? If sae
do not apply this remedy in time, our fate is bo-
