The Franchise. Upon Several Recent Occas...
THE FRANCHISE . Upon several recent occasions when tho propriety of extending the franchise has been _dis-uas- d in the House of Commons , the P _REMIER has repudiated tho notion ofthe finality of the Reform Ac .. r Believing—and very naturally—as its Parliamentary sponsor ,, in the value and importance of that act , he yet declared himself by no means averse to any well-considered and practical extension of the suffrage , not inconsistent with the principle of the measure which ho himself introduced some twenty years ago . As a proof of that , even he—cold , impassible , and Conservative as lie is—could appreciate the reasons for an alteration of the franchise , when they were of an urgent character ; he . introduced this session the Irish Parliamentary Voters Bill , by which he proposed to increase the electoral body in Ireland from 30 , 000 to 380 , 000 , or more than tenfold . In order to do this , he moved that the qualification should be the same in boroughs and in counties , and ihat in both cases it should be fixed £ 2 per annum below that which confer- the right of voting in England , Wales , and Scotland . The inferior rent-charge , of the holdings and . houses in Ireland rendered this rating necessary , in order to create a constituency of about one third of a million , out of a population of 8 , 000 , 000 ; n _ i < f T , m __ v John was not afraid of such an
electoral body as that . The magic number ten was abandoned in the case of Ireland , and for once in his life he admitted the idea that , it was possible a man , paying less than £ 10 a year might be capable , of exercising the franchise in a way not incompatible with the welfare arid safety of . society ; _Loiid John ' s political progress and ; practical liberalism is of _sucli Lilliputian dimensions—his steps are so feeble , timid , and childlike—that in these days of small men and small measures , it was some consolation to see even this _indiftation that we were not retrogressing to Chinese immobility . Thoiighthe actual progress was of the most limited description , it was valuable , because it indicated we were still moving .
Well , one would have thought , that after these manifestations on the part bf the Premier , Mr . LockeKing might have fairly expected the support of the First Minister of the Crown to so very moderate a motion as that he made on Tuesday night . He did not propose to reduce the franchise in this country to £ 8 a , year rental ; he simpl y asked that Lord John should consent to do for the county voters of Great Britain what he had proposed to do for the county voters of Ireland—namely , to give them a qualification similar in amount to the borough voters . .
It will be remembered , that by the so called Chaudos clause ofthe' Reform Act , the minimum rental entitling to a county vote is £ 50 . Mr . L . KING moved that it shouldin future be £ 10 ? and ' lie supported this exceedingly moderate proposal with arguments so cogent , that . in any otlier assembly of English men than the House of Commons would have secured instant and unanimous assent . A farmer paying £ 250 a year rent pays no income tax , but he has : a vote ; while , a country surgeon , whose income is assessed at £ 300 , has to pay an exceptional and special impost
of £ 9 a year to the Government , while if his house is rented at £ 49 10 s . a year he has no vote . As Mv . -ft ,. © forcibly said * . " A £ 10 householder at Halifax was entitled to vote for the Chancellor of the . Exchequer , why should not a £ 40 householder at Dewsbury not be entitled to vote ¦ for the Member for the West Riding ? Wh y should a £ 10 _householder at Andover have a vote , when a person renting a house of £ 40 a year at Basingstoke was not entitled to a vote ? " Why , " simply because the oligarchy under the mingled _iiifluencot of selfishness and caprice have decreed that it shall he so .
But if ever there was a motion wliich tested the real character and animus of the opposition of that oligarchy on both sides ofthe House , to any extension ofthe suffrage , it was Mr . Locke I-Xvcr's . "Upon other . occasions , when more extreme-measures are broached , we are treated to solemn plausibilities about the necessity for those who are intrusted with the franchise" being persons of intelligence , respectability , ? aud somie little property and standing . These qualifications we are gravel y assured are absolutely indispensable as a guarantee that the suffrage will be exorcised
discreetly , and in such a manner as to maintain those institutions under ? which Great Britain has ? attained her present position among nations ; They are required , as a guarantee , that hasty , ill-considered , intemperate , and violent changes , shall not be ' made in the framework of society . We do not intend , on the present occasion , to show the hollow and untenable nature of these pretences for excluding the wealth producers of the kingdom from all participation hi political
power . What we niean to show is , that the conduct of the opponents of representative reform on Tuesday , proved that they are not in earnest , when they urge such arguments aganstany addition totheElectovalLaw . They are mere paltry excuses invented to cover the real intention of those who use them—namely , their determination to monopolise legislative and administrative power , and to use tliem for the advantage of a privileged order , tit the cost ofthe lvnnnfnmehisod classes .
How is the truth of this assertion io be sustained ? We find the proof ready made to our hands in the leading columns of the'Times , that inveterate enemy of the political enfranchisement of the masses , with a vigour aud raciness , which is peculiarly its , own ,. and which few of , the parrots who repeat its promptings in Parliament can imitate it , has , over and over again , repeated the commonplace objections to which wo have referred . Yet , in the following passage , it completely gives up the question as regards the £ 10 county householders . It openly and fully admits that exclusion in their case is no longer tenable on such grounds : — ,
In the very wide interval between ' £ 10 a year and £ 59 a year , are included some of the most Important members of the social state . The surgeon , the solicitor , the curate the grocer , the stationer , the innkeeper , the schoolmaster and fifty different sorts , of shopkeepers , the captain oil half pay , the retired-army , surgeon , the tradesman hvmg . on his savings , aro all , as a general ru " comprehended between _thnse . two limits .

Rent , rates , and taxes may ' amountnltogetlier to 60 J . or 701 ., but so long as the rent alone _folls-below- 50 i ; they are excluded from a privilege possessed by almost any labourer who choose , to register in a borough . In most parts of the country these classes are increasing in number , strength , and self-cotifidenoo . They are learning to comparo themselves with the represented classes , especially with the more favoured 10 / . householders in _parliamentary boroughs . Such persons feel themselves wronged . That senso of injustice is itself an argument . Bating the fiction about "almost any labourer who chooses to register in a borough , " the whole of this ia excellent as au exposition ofthe monstrous anomalies , and tho crying injustice and inequalities of our illiberal system .

ffiir as educat ion , competency , and so fortli , il hfl ' case of these classes are concerned .. But the concluding sentences are worth grave consideration _iaconnexion with other Ss of the same article by the Chartists S the ; _Parliamentaryi Reform Association . " The sense of injustice is of itself an _^ argument , " _^ _'hich , indeed , ought not to be lost S of in this great controversy ; and the _Timfs warily reminds the parties , of which _ t $% _oS _, r £ at the time is _«* _£ the old style of pooh-poohing the _clannsof the unrepresented will ' nofc meet the emergency . ' Parliamentary Ileform . _^ F _^ j _^ _X b _^ _mti auestionof ritrhtanda so a question of fact *_ hen we say H ™ " % 2 L we do not use the word in a lega sense .
We only use it in the sense that « one _cias _. ¦ . __» »¦ _= .- - _frace , _Another class equally substantial , _W _£ W * . " _£ educated , has a sort of right to it too ; and that if a mat is heavily toxea he bas a sort of right to be directly represented . Tho question of fact is that to which the _statesman will probably be led , both by habit and by necessity , to give the greater attention . Are there so many persona of competence , education , character , and influence without votes , but desirous of them , that it is no longer safe to deny them ? The represented classes are indoors , ana the unrepresented classes are out of doors . So long as the two parties are agreed all ' _is well ; but as soon as the out-of-door partg is dissatUjied , self-preservation dictates that toe _shouta note their numbers , their _ttrength _, their animus , and their caance of ultimate success . . .. The admissions as to " a sort of right , " are
sufficiently guarded , and evidently most reluctantly extorted . But the inference deserves to be specially noted . It is that " the class which Mr . Locke Kino has taken in hand deserves much consideration . " , Well , let us see whether the premises of the Times will not lead to larger conclusions . Is __ the £ 10 suffrage in ' boroughs so equal that it admits the same class within the pale ofthe Constitution in all cases ? Is it not , on the contrary , notorious that a rental of £ 10 in large
commercial and manufacturing towns is paid by a class of persons whose counterparts in a social position and occupation -in small country boroughs , do not pay more than £ 5 or £ 6 a year ? Why should the former be admitted , and the latter excluded ? Here is ground , on the _shoeing of the Times itself- for a large extension of the suffrage . As to the argument drawn from taxation , thafc is still more generally applicable , who is there in England who is not ' heavily taxed ? " Except the pauper class , who are supported entirely by the labour of others , not a single class or individual escapes the pressure of the enormous burdens of taxation which weighs upon us . The upper classes , to a large extent , are
compensated by the lion ' s share of the spoil , which their monopoly of political power enables them to appropriate . It is- upoii tho producing classes that the burden of heavy taxation falls _crushingly , grindingly , and without any alleviation . Yet itis precisely these classes who are excluded even from the ' ¦ sort of right to be directly represented _/ ' which the Times so grudgingly and ungraciously admits . In the words ofthe oracle of Printing House-square we say , " Such persons feel themselves wronged , that sense of injustice is of itself aa argument" of a practical character , which entitles them to " much consideration , " as well as the class whose cause it advocates . We trust that Lord John
in his cogitations respecting " the numbers , strength , animus , and chance of ultimate success of those who now clamour for admission within the pale ofthe Constitution , will not forget these suggestions , deduced as they are from the organ of his own Cabinet . Whether he does so or not , we venture to tell him , that the controversy hastens to its consummation , and that every debate similar to that of Tuesday night , accelerates its final settlement in favour of the people . The outrageous Toryism of Mr . Disraeli and hia party , will speedily come into open and direct
collision with the policy which demands for the Commons of Great Britain , a real , a full , and unfettered representation in their own . House of the Legislature . When that time comes , Lord JoHXf must make up his mind whether to be ou one side or the other . If he declines to be on either , he must stand aside , and let the battle be fairly fought between those who wish to maintain privileges for an exclusive order , and those , who take their
staud on the great principles of the British constitution , namely . ;—that Taxation and Representation are coequal — that whoever contributes to the support of the State , has a right to a voice in the management of its affairs , and that any artificial ratings or pecuniary powers wliich stand between a roan of sound mind and the exercise of this right , is a gross injustice and tyranny which the peoplo are bound to resist , and to put down by any and by every means iu their power .
The Bitter Observance Of The Sabbath. Th...
THE BITTER OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH . The reign of Cant and Humbug is , it seems to continue for some weeks longer , because Lord John Russell quails before the conventicle and Exeter Hall . After having arranged with an independent Member of Parliament
to bring forward a motion , who was willing to face the howl of obloquy , which such a course was certain to elicit from the bigots who wish to force their crotchets down the throats of ' others—after taking all tho usual methods to > securo a good attendance ' on tho Ministerial i benches , in order virtually to reverse the late s decision -with respect to Sunday mails , Lord [ John ' s little timid heart failed him at the i
pinch , and he cut off the only straightforward , , manly , and useful part of the motion , to the 3 drawing up of which he himself had been a t party . Mr . Locke ' s motion was a very rea- - sonable one . He asked that inquiry should i be made into the best means of reducing _Sun-1-day labour without quite stopping the post , ; , and that , pending the inquiry , matters should d be put on the same footing as they stood m u
previous to the passing of Lord-Ashley ' s mo- _> - tion . That proposal would undoubtedly have " 6 been carried , had not the Premier at the lust st moment caught at a suggestion from the _oppo-osition , and proposed as an amendment , thafcat the latter part of the motion should be omitted , d , and a motion , merely for inquiry , be _substituted . Of course that sealed the fate of Mr . tr . Locke ' s motion , aud , grumbling audibly , ly , many of the Ministerial followers who had comene
prepared to Tote for that motion wore _draggeded through tho mire at the tail ofthe Minister er who seems equally ready to oblige and givdve _. way to his opponents , and to insult and _de-dcgrade his supporters . h fl Tv _£ fT ; , hoTrr ' tUatthe resull ; _*«] _alwnvfZ t 0 th ° _/* _*? em P iu _fc _* fe _***< kS _? _Vei 7 . de 8 irable object of _reducing * : _Ubom to the utmost possible extent on _tlutlul Sunday .
