Corruption. it had been said, :mit existed from the I:evolution, hot now abwes had crept in w h exceeded any that that ftevalation had re medied.

It was singular that those great Saitestren, Ni'. Pitt and Mr. Fox, lost all their eloquence on that subject. But that the (louse liavu,t• such a mass of borough-monger; to influence Its decisions, should oppose such a change was mit to !ae wondered at. All he would attempt to do was;, to ft: down some P!V: Simple regulations, which he should not submit to them as rest,- 'lotions, but merely as propositions, which tie woald then read, "1. That all freeholders, householders, a others, directly paN big the to xis. should have a voice to direct the a ff airs of State, by being allowed a vote." " 2. The county to be subdivided into districts, each subdivi sion to return a Member to Parliament." _ _ " c ry elector to vote in his own pari:ll, anti the Parlia ment bought back to original term of euration." The adoption of those simple propositions would at Once do away 113 statutes which had been made to g uard the purity of election, but which had so completely failed to answer the pur pise. It would do away all odious religious distinctions, and popular electiong, against which so much had been said, There would then beee of that fake patriotism which an lion. Gen- Wotan (11r. Windhatn) had spoken of—illustrating his subject by the example of a wealthy brewer, '' who disappointed of a job determined on going into the independent line." There would then be no mobhing, no rioting. Gentlemen seemed to think this ?lot likely to he the result of ss hat he prhposed. If he drew an unfair inference, he was open to conviction, having no interest but that of the country at heart. But he did not think. if all the elections were began and finished in onedny, and on the same 4y (as they mi‘ht tie) each vutiog iu hi. own parisb' s as he pro- 593 poi , ed they hhould do, that thrice could be mach riot iii and mob b ug. He taost ; .;lit it would moreover get rid of a great deal of troahleseme liti.;;;ation ; that no temptation %%milli remain to ;liter a brio..; itt s'tort, that st great deal cf good might thus be eirected, v ithont giving cause of complaint to any one but the ers, at tonnes, and the Kin. 4 's printer. lie had often hears' the Gronviile Act spoken of in very high term , , but that was .% remedy which no man, unle s s immensely rich indeed, could '!Tura to have recourse to In ' t,e. Having thus distinctly .-'aged his opininn4, and the object he had in vie w, "he hoped he *tmid nu limger be the butt of representation. He would not revert in auger to the past, be said but what a w orin would say, if it could speak, " Trend on me no more " The attainment of the objet he had•poken of was sill he wi-died to accomplish, higher he did not aspire. and lower he thought he COlad nut .tescead. All he should propose was, that the House.Asould pledge itself to take into consideration, early in t h e next, Seth .inn, the state of the representation of the people. Air. Alderman Coo xt nu seconded the motion. The Cu A C it of the Exert rol En thought it was not rational to expect the Douse would give the pledge required. The lion. Baronet had spoken as if he had been particularly Called on to explain his conduct ; he did not know when, or by whom, he had been so called upon. 11r. spoke as if the peolac required a Parliamentary Reform ; the Hon. Baronet might hit' in the habit of conversing with persons who thought such a chan;-? neeezary, bait the great 1),,,ty or the people tsere moiled against it. The lion. Baronet thinks the adoption of his regu lations would prevent all contested elections. Did he sup.. It3se tha t one person would he found in. every district, for ho:n the people would give .their unanimous sutrrages ? that there would be no opposition to his election. Surely to persons would be to oppose each other, then there wOold he cativasin i 7, and as much. temptation to bribe those electors ;Is i. they were forty shilling ones. These proposals, too, went to simplify the qualifications of an elector, every pi:rson who 1)441 to a tax in air. , one way. (Sir L'rnuris here' said, if he paid direct taxes) Oh, if he paid the asses , ed taxes, the property tax, or the poor tax, he was to be a voter. Why thins it would be necessary that each voter should prove tint he p a id the , e, to substantiate his claim :o a vole ; all that must be prov ed nt the election booth y . et this plan was to simplify tlot wh o le Ine:iness of an election. 11 these regithilienq nal tin• effect of doing away 113 statutes, upon hip %I - oi%d he thon.:ltt some very 17irge one would be wanted instead, it only seemed likely to prevent bribery, as it tended to render a seat in that llousc so contemptirde, that it would he rather shunned than , otnt - !tt after.
