SIXTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE

LITICRPOOL CONCENTRIC ,'OCIETY.

SPEECH OF SIR FRANCIS BURDISTY.

Sit FRAN.CI9 BURDETT rose amid the en.
Tisirtair—c ap—plauses of the Meeting, which lasted
some minutes; and when_these expressions of regard
lied subsided, he apologised for being without those
hibilimepts of nioernius, which his respect,for the
Isle Queen, and his consideration of what was due to
the company before him, "mired. He had come
lifer from his hunting cottage
.at Leicester, end
wishing to ride on horseback ai far as KnetifOrd, he
hod ordered a trunk from London to be tortorded
ev the mail to this town, but it had net arrited.A.-
gter paying a.propor tribute of respect to the me.
inery.of her late Majesty, Sir Frauds reverted to the
occasion of his visit to Liverpool, and Petered into
the ingiortant subject of Parliamentary Reform, with
gracefal and animated eloquence, to the following
elect 3-
6 6 Your worthy Chairman," said the Hee: Barenef,
64 has so fully, so elaborately, and, permit me to
say, so excellently discussed ell the principal topics
of political argument, that lam at a loss to what
part of the subject I shall engage your attention. I
cannot, however, refrain from expressing my ab-
horrence of that fatal system of corruption, by which
every vestige of our freedom is daily obliterated, and
which it becomes the duty of. us all to use • every en-
deavour to redress. This great evil is seen and felt
Chiefly in the state of our Representation ; and it is
to the open and acknowledged corruption of the
House of Commons that all our other grievances may
be traced as their head And spring. It would be vain
to hold up any particular instance of the errors and
evils of those who are termed his Majesty's Ministers,
acting, as they do, in the midst, and by the means
of this corruption ; for no man, or set of men, can
hold the same places without acting in the same man-
ner, until a Reform shall render the House of Com-
mons what it ought to be. I do not complain, there.
fore, of the conduct of any man—l reprobate the
system ; without the overthrow of which the jai.
nistets themselves can never be just, nor can the Peo-
ple ever be happy. It is a system of tyranny and op.
pression, incapable of being held together bet by
tyrannical and oppsessive mans. 'Elie exercise of
the Franchise is every where. utierinal—every where
directed by disorder and bribery---and miry where
replete with injustice. To lake for. instance this
your town of Liverpool :-024 ilfy thing be more
pottaglously corrupt the* tied ptesaot slate of your
