"We quote the following iromMr . Williams ' a opening observations : —

      TO IHBELECIOB 8 ASDK 0 S-ILECT 0 BS . - Ton , thenon-electora , who are excluded from the possession of tbVelective iranchiser ^ the " . proud Dirthright of a free people—nomoer , in tlie United Engdom , six millions of men ;_ while . yon ,,. the electors—the favoured ~ clas 3 entrustedwiththesaffrage—the . great privilege which forms the distinction between the freeman and the { Have—count hut 1 , 061 , 000 , who were invested with this exclusive privilege by the'Beform Act , which , seventeen years ago , became , the law o £ our-country . In order to neutralise the opposition and-secure the co-opera tion of the Radical Reformers , who contended for conferring the elective franchise on all men after attaining the age of maturity if no * disqualified by

      legal disability , those of you who are old enough , well remember the plausible arguments used , and the confident assurances given , both in and out of Parliament , during the agitation and debates on the Keform Bill , that "the Sill , the whole Sill , and nothing bnt the Bill , " would- be effectual in constituting the Commons' House -of Parliament a real representation of the people ,-instead of being , the creature of a borongh-mongering oligarchy . The abolition of so many rotten boroughs consigned to Schedule A—thesale of whose seats in the Bouse of Commons was admitted to be " as notorious as the Sun at noon-day " —and the conferring upon populous towns the right to fill those defunct seats , was ostentatiously displayed ; and although the Keform

      Bill constituency formed bnt . oqp-seventb .-of the adult male population , yet assurances the most confident were held out that the first fruits to be produced by the House of Commons , elected under the provisions of the Beform Act , would be . that of retrenchment and economy in the ' expenditure of tlie public money ; so equalising the taxes that their burthen should fall on those best able to bear it , instead of on the bard earnings of toil and industry ; and thatthe laws should no longer be made to favour " classes "—or more particularly the rich class—but equally for the well-being of the whole community . In confirmation of this , the public declarations of many leading men of that period might be quoted , bnt especially those of the then prime minister , Earl

      Grey , and of Lord John Rus 3 ell , and other members ofthe £ overnmentwho framed the Reform JBilL- Jn his speech m introducing that TM into the Bouse of Commons , Lord John Russell said , that "to establish the Constitution on a firm basis , -you . most show that you are' determined not to be the representatives of a small class , or of a particular interest j bnt" to form . a' body . who ^—representing the people , springing from the people , and : sympathising with the people-Han fairly call on the people to' support , the" future burtheDS of : the country , '; and . straggle with future difficulties . " Again , said the noble Lord , "Looking at the ques-, tion , then , as a question of right , ' the ancient atatate —the 25 th Edward the Pirsi—contains ihe . germ and vital principle of our Constitution ; it

      thusdeclares , in tne name 6 f : the Mng , "Moreover we have grafted for / us and our heirs , to aU . the commonalty Sftheland , that for no business from henceforth we shall take suehinanner of aids , tasks , nor prises [ fexes } , " Dut by" the' common assent of . the realm , and . for the common prpfitithereof ' ? - ^ at the people shall send totheHouseof Commons their real representatives , to deliberate on their wants and consultf ' their , iriterests- ^ to consider .:-their grievances—to , bold the puree-strings of the nation -4 o lay . the fonnda&n-for , - ihe most , salutary changes in the well-being and comforts of the people , and that laws should not , be passed for the benefit of classes , by men roused from their slumbers at twelve o ' clock , at iiight , to vote , for they inowjiot ¦ what ,. v ' . ; trf .
