passed the Commons . It would be better to render the mode in which the Commons legislate more adapted to the purpose . Nor would that be very difficult . In the mechanics of lawmaking there must surely be better resources for correctness than the employment of one imperfect agency to remedy ( often to multiply ) the blunders of another imperfect agency .
The Lords , it is said , would nullify the effect of the single veto by mutilating bills instead of rejecting them . A House of Commons which should suffer itself to be baffled by such a technicality as this , ought forthwith to be sent about its business . The amendments of the Lords must be adopted or rejected by the Commons . In the latter case they have only to
return the bill to the Lords , and so reduce them to a simple Aye or No . The plan of the single veto was ascribed to Mr , Roebuck because the writer first heard of it as his ; and it is so regarded by Mr . O'ConnelL The Examiner allows that he '' broached" it . It was only incidentally that the comparative merits of these plans were adverted to in the letter to Mr . O'ConnelL In th e
main purpose of that letter which was to deprecate his advice of the exclusive agitation of Peerage Reform , I am gratified , to find that the Examiner concurs . The Ballot and the Repeal of i ; he Septennial Act must precede the reform of the House of Lords They are essential to the existence of such a house as
will possess the requisite wisdom and courage to carry that Reform into effect . The same may be said of Church Reform , and of sundry other questions . Until representation be perfected , only patchwork measures , and compromises that tend to perpetuate a large portion of evil are to be expected .
