GENERAL SUFFRAGE AND ANNUAL PARLIA•

ME TS.

We adopt the epithet general is prefereoce to mai-
versal, by which the same thing is understood and
does not meet with the same objection. Citifetni
cannot be supposed to aver that there should be no
exception to the role, as is the case of criminals and
idiots : and what in reason can be mnre eatersi,
than that a ono, against whole no lateral or fS.
does! objection lies, should sot only wish for, bat
contrive to obtain, by all the means in his power,
the right of choosing his guardian, or rather h;s
steward, to watch over big civil rights *latch are t 0
protect his lifeand property ? sod yet a hlisanthrepr,
in a Paper of this day, says, " Persons who pro-
pose the perseit of certain insane ends by means
so monstrous as Universal Suffrage and Anneal Par-
liaments, ought to be restraioed by the power 01 6"
law !:" This able, w ise, mad humane or sites, in his woo-
ducal ratiocination, adds, "that the benevolent gads ,r
of 07r 11M21111 has given us social clispot'Co:.., a.,.1

social dispositions necessarily Ind to social distinc-
tions." Bet does society necessarily lead to usurpa-
tions and privations ? If so we wish not to be of that
society—end ardestly hope we never shall be in that
especial society of which this malignant writer may
be a member. Then follows • long and elaborate
account of the Jacobin Clubs in France, and of several
of their worst distinguished leaders, committing new
anachronisms as he proceeds. as bad as the one of
making Sir Janes &lams/out to be intriguing with
DOICIPARTf in Paris, when, at the same time, he was
administering tho law in Bengal—anachronisms won*
than the famous nee of making Mamas and Dino
cotewporaries. Bet this Gentleman is a surprising
darker, and hopes to convince by the impetuosity
and impertintote of bis round assertions. Ile would
make as compleat a tyrant as ever bore a plume In
his hand. Ile seems In say, wit► a kind of impertinent
loud aothority,—" Slat pro ration. voluntos."
The deep sod instructive reductions ut.this Jurist,
in his 111111 boudoir, after • great many equally pro.

Stockport Union, further adds, " It would be end.
less to eientrovert all the sophistries of the French
Revolutioalsts, which we End repeated in the Articles
of the Stockport Union. It is disgraceful to English-
men to repeat. like parrots, the nonsense about the
• Rights of man,' and the ' Sovereign People,' which
was proclaimed by such monsters as the ens we have
just describ►d," &c. Ise. So that the RicuTs or
SIAN and the SOYIRILIONTY or TUC Prong are non-

we were disposed to be as wicked as the above writer,

Themes we have business enough et home to de-
mand our attention, yet it is impossible to overlook
whet America says, and is likely to be doing. She
menet well conceal her incipient ambition, nor does
sheindred try to do so. We shall haw. en harangue
(sad a palaver too perhaps) with her. She it not

It may well be said that " embitien is the dropsy of

Congress ere very general througheet the United
States. The Notional Intelligeacer, gain for wi at

" Th. °lire' ad►ised in the Petition is, 6 such •
revision and regulation of the Tariff as shall /Mete

believe that an estie Susie@ of Congress Is suggested
with this view : that it is proposed to strike off at a
heat a work the most tedious and laborious, the most
r►quiring caution and cirmaspectiou, and patient
investigation, that can be undertaken 1.7 Coogress."
We say so too, and feel assured, it is for se•setNeg
