I find that I have already transgressed the bounds
of your Paper, though I ban done little more
towards the case than similes it of the esters and
miscruception which obsessed the ground-work.—
The real task of the question don net depend on
the greeter or lesser eatension proposed by most
men to tio given to the elective franchise, nor whether
P.rliaments ought to be I or trienaial ; bat
whether such a state of Representatiou does net osist
as norm' ha reconciled with the Bill of Rights. If
such a grievance does exist, then is it Mot duty of
b..th King and Parliament " thereof to provide reme-
dy, and do law for the voiding of such mischief," as
Mr. Justice RASTAL osmoses it. This is the tree
rate of the case, and every man of cosmos ender-
standing must be sensible of Its truth. As aeon I
has, however, been poi forth by the lioroughenongets,
bat the pies which their advents has missend is so I
weak and futile, ad so totall irreaseileable with
dm British Constitution, that it would be quite on. I
worthy of a reply from ay man, if thi vast import 7
once of the can to the motion at large did set give
it that claim to notice which its own intrinsic merits I
cannot communinte. Oa tech an eccasios, the tree pa-
triot will not consider the most puerile attack as be.
•path his notice, and therefore I shall enter the lists
with this twiny adversary when I have nothing better
to occupy my attention. At present I shall only say,
that he has the best claim to be the champion of a
cause who has already sanctioned it with his prac-
tice; nor do 1 believe there is a borough in the
kinadoes better qsaiiied than Great Marlow to fur-
nish material, for such a combat. I questios much
whether Pewits and Grampoend posters equal pre-
tensions ; for I have been et both those places, and I
do not remember to have noticed the squalid poverty
en conspicuous as at Great Marlow. The fact is, that
borough influence produces, on a small sale, that
pahlic misery which a corrupt Ministerial anew
does ran • largo one. The may are oppressed to
loutish benefits for a few. The People are starved,
to create jobs for fasossitn ; and the misapplication
of tle public money, public charities, and so forth,
falls not upon the rich, but upon the poor, who are
sometimes sent to the grave by the effects of absolute
Off s•tion to make room for' therl, whose eseodicity
is tJ • save, but concealed to prevent the loss of their
elective franchise. These things concern moo as
Chtistiaos, who way take little or no interest in po-
litics. sod for that reason many facts of this gloomy
corn. I•zion will be exhibited to the Plastic, and ,vi-
dew.. of them tendered nest Sessions at the bar of
that li as,. whose duty it is to redress mil wrongs,
tad particularly the wrongs sustained by Mot setTetitsg

poachers see great, bat these men are never enriched
by them, and that perhaps easy be one can of the
poverty so conspicuous in rotten boroughs. This
seems Wind to Wattage with Marlow, for although
vemoserstion comes at regular polled, after every
election at that plea tile a refreshieg shower, and
the people stood gaping to receive it with their months I

It is amusing to beer a cotemponry Journalist ay
that his abjection to Political Meetings, like that
which is to take place the day after to-morow, arises
io a groat measure from the interception to public
and private business. Now CATO, who, we believe,
was as wise • man as this same writer, de6•es the
first business of every man to be, the snoring the
liberties of his conicity. Who and what have occa-
sioned the secasity of this and other similar Meet.
logs Why, oar imbecile Ministers, and their en-
coostitatieual acts. Let them bet go on as they
have proceeded of late, sod there would, at so great
distance, be bet little business of a public and pri-
vate eaten to interest any bet the despot and the
store. We say, let the People alert and discuss
their grievances, sod consult about the proper reset-
dies for them. This is the way to ovoid mischiefs
and assassinations. The French would never have
committed the 'scours they did, but for the kind
of circemvallation made roped Patio by Bans:Mei
army. A wise Sovereign keeps his Untied attend-
sets, and their bayonets, at • distance from his
People when about to deliberate on their public
wrings.

We have before observed, that mien ire similarly
acted upon in different countries : soul wisely some
foolishly. The slavish written for Ministers are
