Under ibt gmi old Cousthational systca « f electing meat-Wrs of Parliament , by Universal Suffrage , the whole people of an electoral district were required

      % e www so the day of » election , and choose their representative by show of lian&s the , en-ttex , 6 ot ef the whole n amber of candidate ? , forwbom tbe greatest number ef hands were exhibited , being fed&rcd elected . Under these circumstance * , a poll « o * W wnt W- accessary , unless for two opposing caaiidates fte show ef hands thofeH be so equal , titat U « Returning Officer sfaocld be unable to determine which of them has * the majority ..

      As it is catarally to be expected that a people will be JeaJoos of their rights , so , in all ages of the worid , that fescri ^ bon of tyTaany which b& « xot been es < ahli « hetl bj the sword ef a ccmqieriog cbcbj , hot has rprtrog up amongst the people aroBod whom it has thrown its coil * , has erer proceeded cautiously . Ancient right * "hare been irVaded by degrees .

This ia

      ¦ pre-eminently the ease with regard to the exerewt : rf the elective franchise . When the Dotninee of wealth or faction zaeets with no opposition , it is « iearly as unnecessary as it would be unwise to issxst Bpoc the restrictions wha which dominant , interested , and oppressive sectioES ef the cosnanitT hare fettered the franchise . They would rather that their representative should mppear to be the representative ef all ; and hence , stall onoontested tlectionj , the mode of voting rtmain * unaltered . It ie-onlr when as opposing candidate appear * in \ bv £ eU , that each weetkw of the oppressors finds it

      MR . O'CONNOR'S CALUMNIATORS . Therb are some nun so thoroughly vieiou * that virtue is a mystery to them : they don ' t understand it : they ioa ' t inow whatiti * and , if aninstaaee of it forcibly attracts their notice , they are puzzled with it . Bound and blinded by the innate » elfishness and villany » f their » wtf character , likeaborse is a mill , they ever plod round the fame circle ; unable t « perctive anything beyond its limits , and anable , consequently , to coatemplate either end or mo tire in connection -with the conduct ef

      others bat snch as they themsoKes are acquainted with by experience . Oiber * , Jhere are , so ptrftctly fiend like , that nothing so much pleafe * them as to iend any effort , however puny , to th » pointing and sharpening of the arrows of ill fortune whenever they see , or think they te # , them docending on a victim . In the full devilism . of their tea . it > , they chuckle erer the final 1 fi : lipw thvy can give to what they may suppose to be a " bruised reed , " and r . joice in the little drops of iiithy water whicb , from their fjol stomachs , they can belch upoB what the / suppose to be " * mokicg flax .

Y ? e do not wish to fiod Mr . O'Connor an exception to the gent * « d role . If w » did , we should imme-*» tely « u * pect either his ulwt , or his honesty , or both .

      i BIRMINGHAM . MR . O'CONNOR'S OPINION AS TO THE RIGHT OF MEETING IN THE BULL RING . A clatise in aa Act entitled an Act for better Paving , Lightiug , Watching , Cleansing , and otherwise improving ihe Town of Birmitgham , ia the County of Warwick , and for Regulating the Police and Market * " cf the said Town . The claus 5 in the above Act to which my attention has been directed , refers particularly to th » legality of meeting- lately held in a plaee called the Bull ( ling . 1 am clearly of opinion that is order to enable tbe Magistrates to convict under this clause , it is absolutely necessary to prove obstruction er

      annoyance offered to any passenger , which annoyance can only be complained of by the person to whom such obstruction or annoyance may hsra been offered . The word annoyance will , no doubt , furnish the Magistrate * with the most plataible pretext for convicting under this A ct , bat the acts of annoyance v « so clearly definnd , as to make it absolutely necessary upon a prosecution to prove one of those specific acts intended to be prevented . The word annoyance is subsequently used , aad its meaning again defined , by pointing out toe mode in which annoyance cr obstruction may bf offered . Haviog fullj considered this clause I am of opinion that public meetings keld in the Bnll Ring do come

      under u , provided that the space shall b j — blocked as to give n * e to obf trust ion or a cnoyance , bat if a space be lef | mfllcient for passengers , carriages , and carts to pass withont obstruction , I hoU all meetings Bot offering sach obstruction , to be perfectly legal , and also that any parties complaining of mich ototructiea ander the sa-. d Act , must ^ prove the porticamr act of obstractieB -or asmeyasttie * And that the person injured must bo too complsuusat .
