Rarllamentatty Legerde ' Maift: Even Wit...
rARLlAMENTAttY LEGERDE ' MAift : Even with tho hustings before them , go rooted tho hostility of the great majority of the pre , House of Commons to a radical reforjft- of tn ^ House , that they cither absented themselves , ^ ySf voted against Mr . HumeV ' Little Charter , ' - ' ' g ' eight or niuo members more than tho usual ' tr o : ™!!^ were all that was added to the minority , and oai . iT division tho numbers were 244 against 89 , J ^ 'trf minority there were some now names , represcnti * . * altogether about a million and a half of persons " ^ addition to tho largo towns formerly arrayed in w * port of Suffrage Extension . Coventry , Bat | , Jjp Chester , took their stand beside the metropolitan
boroughs , Manchester , Birmingham , Sheffield and Glasgow , while smaller towns , Rochester , Lincoln and Hastings , for tho first time joined in the demaua for representative reform . Mr . Disraeli and Lord . J . Russell led the Opposition , The latter onK degree more moderate in expression , not a whit h spirit ; and the notable incident of tho debate was % really clover spedch of the now Chancellor of % Exchequer , who seemed quite to have <& rtrolishoii a )} i the arguments based on tho assumed predominancD ' of tho territorial nominees in the House % > aa elaborate analysis of its composition , which madfr olrt thht the towns had an excess of representativc ^ -said . tho counties weromost unfairly treated .
Considering that tho exact reverse of this ^ ppjj . tion has long been assumed to be beyond crttt | i dispute , tho boldness of the opposite assertion ojsitodj no little surprise on one side of the House , and g ^ ato cheering on tho other . Mr . Disraeli is reall y jn , clever at juggling with figures , that ho seenw to bo quite cut out for the position of Chancellor of the Exchequer . There were grave : doubts as to the propriety of the appointment ; but , by way of showing that when tho time comes he will be able to cook a Budget , ho dished up electoral statistics after a fashion that throw the tricks
of Hovjdin or Robin , tho conjurors , into tho shade , Tho general result of his researches into the composition of tho constituencies , was , that tho town population is bettor represented than tho rural population 1 aud that , instead of tho proportion of . voters to the adult males of tho country being one to six , it it ia . reality one to four . Tho means b y which tbeso conclusions were arrived at were these : Tho population of the boroughs represented in Parliament was subtracted from tho total population of the count y or division in which these boroughs aro situated , and tho remainder designated the' rural population . ' Jn thij . way Mr . Disraeli made out Mr . Cobden the representative of a purely agricultural constituency , and oiovery hardly used . Separating thc population of
nine considerable towns from tho aggregate popular tion of the West Riding , he found that five hundred ; thousand of an ? urban population' had sixteen members ; while eight hundred thousand of a rural population bad only two members . Tho fallacy on which this calculation rests is so transparent that it docsnot require one word of comment . In tho so-called ! 1 rural population' of the West Riding there are many manufacturing towns with populations varying froro four thousand to fifteen thousand inhabitants , who will ' find with surprise that tbey are reckoned among agriculturists , and who certainly never expected that thoir ' exclusion from the Franchise , or their being swamped in a . county constituency , would be urged by a dexhv rous opponent as an argument against Parliamentary Ryform .
Tho raising of the proportion of voters to the whole adult population was e ffected by a ruse not less specious . Instead of taking the adults of the United Kingdom , Mr . Disraeli substituted tho figures applicable to Groat Britain only . Such are tbe wretched subterfuges and tricks by which it is sought to stave off tho demand for representative amendments , and to befool tho people , in spite of their senses , info a belief that the existing system really confers electoral ! power upon them . After performing these feats of legerdemain with figures , the finance minister , by way of conclusion , guarded himself and his colleaguesagrtinst being aot down as enemies to all reform . They did wot Consider an extension of the Suffrage
to be synonymous with tbe extension of the democratic power ; but , iu the meantime , they take their * stand b y the settlement made in 1831 , as one which ,-though not made by them , nor favourable to the '" ,-has yet under remedial ( query corrupting % influences , proved capable of giving good goverament and freedom . While we laugh at tho coolness oJ ' tto concluding assumption , it is impossible not to- &< gratified with the essential fact in tho BtatousW *
Lord John Russell held by Finality for a ItoR time . Ho has given it up and proposed a iw »' Reform Bill . Tho Tories have advanced to thopcint he has abandoned . They take thoir stand now by * ° act of 1831 . What bettor encouragement can tto earnest Reformer have to pursue Ills labours with unwavering confidence in the sure and certain results ? The great Tory party which battled » fiercely against tho Reform Bill of 1831 , now diHR' - to that as the sheet anchor of the Constitution .
Inspirit aud change of progess has seized uponf "" thorn , and without either their knowledge or pie * concurrence , they will in future bo pressed on 1 " tho recognition of yet greater and more rod ' * ' changes .
Yot tbe mon who pioneer tho path to thoso adaptations of tho institutions of society to tho grow ' 1 " * wants of experience aud intelligence of tho agfl . ? . sneered at as « visionaries' by tho would-bo ' pract'ca men , ' whoso late adoption of their views only Prof w their own want of political foresight and vi ^ f ' it depended upon them , indeed , there would be ° progress whatever . They have to be dragged on \ var ( 1 ;'
and tbey bestow not ft little abuse on those vrho f ° them forward . Tho « Times , ' which has been co ^ polled , in deference to opinion , to advocate 1 ^ f mentary Reform , compensates itself hy » bu 5 '* Joseph Hume , and classes him in the samo categ .. ^ as RoBEitT Owkn . Wo aro certain that both p » j were very much astonished at finding jr r even in imagination , ranked together . >\ ' either of them will consider it comp limentary '
problematical . . Tho direct use , however , of tho division npgVj j Hume ' s motion was tho unmistakeablo index aU" ¦ ^ by tho division , of tho real opinions of tho p » i ^ representative body . The Whigs are ^ £ mfl t at nothing more . If the constituencies return tM » jyf the next election , they and the country at W * „ . what to expect from them , either in power or m "H , ^ sition . Taken in conjunction with their vote » fi . ^ , llfl tho Ballot , there can bo no doubt as to tho P ^ ^ which it is their determination to maintain ° . .
question . If tho Liberal party are really W ^ ^ they will effect no compromises with them , » u ^ tho hustings or in Parliament . Let every t » D s & \ (& on its own bottom ; and as they can hopo Jor " p ^ substantial help from the Whigs to c'irrv ,. 8 t » r ? iBr ? measure of Reform , let all honest Pa ™ am % »< , $ , Reformers abstain from assisting Whigs \ um . ^ either to get into Parliament , or to aid them gaining possession of power when they aro tnc ¦ Such an independent aud determined c ^ ^ would have tho effect of either eon ^^ tho Whigs to coalesce with tho » ] ,, « party , on their own terms , or It would g ' re ' tf oii | li o n 1 ' 1 such a standing and influence , that " v j , ^''/' practicall y hold tho balance of power in ib nfl ^ 't ^ and be enabled to dictate the P oli « y on »» 0
