Winners., w_ho happily succeeded in abolishing the
black mates wrongs, though, as a native of Africa, a

lerties from the fangs of the Borough Faction, eat
fur complete religious toleration, Metalling- Catholic
Emancipation on concilietory ftrinciples,we can per-
utile no other plan so effectual as the prompt
adoption of radical Reform by Parliament, agreeably
to _their own solemn declarations, at that Constitu-
• tinned prayer of the great body of the people, which
will probably reach their ears, during the course of
the ensuing season, by the spirited exertions of
many most respectable members of different societies,
meetings, and clubs, associated for that salutary
purpose, to all of whom, as the loyal subjeets of
the King and Laws, our cordial thanks and appro.;
bation are justly due.
2'9. That Major Cartwright, the venerable ad.
vocate of Constitutional Liberty, is fully entitled to
the applause and gratitude of all his independent
Countrymen, for the shining light, his valuablli
writings, and patient labours have shed, ditrint
30 years, on this vital subject ; whence at least one
thousand uniform Petitions, in support of radical.'
Refortn, are confidently expected aeon from all quer.
ters of the United Empire; a consummation de.
vently to be wished from Scotland also, in conse-
(pence of the Major's various and important corn.
monications, and late !ominous discourse on the
English Constitution, in this Country and City, for
all of which he justly merits the respectful thanks of

30. That, concluding nearly in the manly ezpres-
sinus of our Veteran Reformist, we believe, when
Government, by the language of numerous and coo-
. sistent Petitions, shell find, that the people ac-
curately understand the Constitution, and that they
demand justice, and claim a right, without which
they and their posterity, most be for ever in a con-
dition of absolute slavery, sith its unbounded and
merciless taxation, at the will of Usurpers, the
Ministers will not dare, much longer to tell the

2t. That a late objection to printed forms of Pe-
titions by the House of Commons, from their own
constituents, is most unjust and preposterous ; Ist,
Because both the Supetiot: Estates in Parliament, very
graciously receive such Petitions, provided only, that
each Petitioner subscribes his own name; and, 2dly,
Because almost every important written document
which the Honourable If Ouse intends to consider, is
