PARLIAMENTARY LEGERDEMAuT ^ Eveu with the hustings before them , so mm , the hostility of the great majority of the ' House of Commons to a radical reform t ni House , that they cither absented themselves o / k ^ voted against Mr , Hume ' s ' Little Charter' J ^ eight or nine members more than the usual m ? were all that was added to the minority , and et division the numbers were 244 against 89 j tlle minority there were some new names , represn " . tIle altogether about a million and a half of LI " 8 addition to the large towns formerl y arrayed to 1 ! 1 port of Suffrage . Extension . Coventry , Bath P < Chester , took their stand beside the maro oni ? boroughs , Manchester , Birmingham , Sheffield 2 "Glasgow , while smaller towns , Rochester , Up a f and Hastings , for the first time joined in the $ tl for representative reform . Mr . Disraeu j J . Russell led the Opposition . The latter oni !
degree more moderate in expression , not a wtof spirit ; and the notable incident of the debate was »? really clever speech of the new Chancellor of 7 Exchequer , who seemed quite to have demolished ! n the arguments based on the assumed predomin aJ of the territorial nominees in the House by an el ' ak rate analysis of its composition , which made o utty the towns had an excess of representatives , and Ho counties were moat unfairly treated .
_ Considering that the exact reverse of this propoai . tion has long been assumed to be beyond cavil dispute , the boldness of the opposite assertion exciy no little surprise on one side of the House , and grea t cheering on the other . Mr . Disraeli is reall y so clever at juggling with figures , that he seems to bo quite cut out for the position of Chan . cellor of the Exchequer . There wero gr ™ doubts as to the propriety of the appoint m < mt ; but , by way of showing that when the time comes he will bo able to cook a Budget , ho dished uo electoral statistics after a fashion that threw the tricks 6
HOUDIN or Robin , the conjurors , into the shade Tug general result of his researches into the compoai ' tion of the constituencies , was , that the town popu / a - tlon is better represented than the rural population " and that , instead of the proportion of voters to the adult males of the country being one to six , it is fa reality one to four . The meansb y which these con . elusions were arrived at were these : The population of the boroughs represented in Parliament was sub . tracted from the total population of the county or division in which these boroughs are situated , and the remainder designated the' rural population . ' In this way Mr . Disraeli made out Mr . Cobden the
renresentative of a purely agricultural constituency , and one very hardly used . Separating the population of nine considerable towns from the aggregate pnpula . t ' on of the West Riding , he found that five hundred thousand of an' urban population' had sixteen mem . bers ; while eight hundred thousand of a rural pnpula . tion had onl y two members . The fallacy on which this calculation reBta is so transparent that it does not require one word of comment . In the so-called
' rural population' of the West Riding there are many manufacturing towns with populations varying im four thousand to fifteen thousand inhabitants , who will find with surprise that they are reckoned among agriculturists , and who certainl y never expected that their exclusion from the Franchise , or their being swamped in a county constituency , would be urged by a dexlerous opponent as an argument against Parliamentary Reform .
The raising of the proportion of voters to the whole adult population was effected b y a ruse not less specious . Instead of taking the adults of the United Kingdom , Mr . Disraeli substituted the figures applicable to Great Britain only . Such arotho wretched subterfuges and tricks b y which it is sought to atava off the demand for representative amendments , and to befool the people , in spite of their senses , into a belief that the existing system really confers electoral power upon them . After performing these foats of legerdemain with figures , the finance minister , ty way of conclusion , guarded himself and his cofapuei against being set down as enemies to all r eform . They did not consider an extension of the Suffrage
to be synonymous with the extension of tbe democratic power ; but , iu the meantime , they take their ' stand by the settlement made in 1831 , asono which , though not made by them , nor favourable to them , has yet under remedial ( query corrupting ?) ' »• fluences , proved capable of giving good govcrni'if * and freedom . While we laugh at the coolness « H *» concluding assumption , it is impossible not to feel gratified with the essential fact in the statement Lord John Russell held by Finality for » 1 « " 5 time . He has given it up and proposed a nc * Reform Bill . The Tories have advanced to the poi " flfi llcia Rimndnnad TU « . « 4 ... 1 ay . .:.. - * .... 1 ^ . m lw ttf
, act of 1831 . What better encouragement can * earnest Reformer have to pursuo his labours w * unwavering confidence in the sure and certain if suits ? The great Tory party which battled t fiercely against the Reform Bill of 1831 , now diaj to that as the aheet anchor of the Constitution . W spu-it and change of progess has seized upon *" them , and without either their knowledge or pre ™"' concurrence they will in future be pressed * \ the recognition of yet greater and moro i * changes .
Yet the men who pioneer the path to those m tations of the institutions of society to the g « ° tflC = wants of experience and intelligence of tho a ?' - ? , sneered at as « visionaries' by tho would bo T ilCl , men , ' whose late adoption of their views only pr" * : their own want of political foresi g ht and wis *"" i it depended upon them , indeed , there w ould 116 ,. progress whatever . They have to be dragged ° ' f ' and they bestow not a little abuse on those wlio ' ^ them forward . The 'Times' which has been
, polled , in deference to opinion , to advocat e I »" mentary Reform , compensates itself by ^ J JOSEPH Hume , and classes him in the same csiftj as Robert Owen . We are certain that both f wero very much astonished at finding thwiyV , even in imagination , ranked b-gothcr . r ., < e \ thev of th em will consider it comp limentary , ' problematical . The direct use ,, however , of the divisi on upjvj HUME s motion w »« tv , « ,, :. fnirnaUi index < lllt \ , i
by the division , of the real opinions of ^ e ) J representative bod y . The Whigs are » nothing more . If tho constituencies return « % the next election , they and the country atl » ''f y what to expect from them , either in power or ^ Bition . Taken in c onjunction with their vote ^ the Ballot , there can be no doubt as to tho P ^ which it is their determination to maintain ° i question . If the Liberal party are really J # they will effect no compromises ' with them , « ^ the hustings or in Parliament . Let ever ) ' t »» " - > on its own bottom ; and as they can hopo "" $ substantial help from tho Whigs to carry "t ^ measure of . Reform , let all honest T *? x d Informers abstain from assisting Whigs m ¦> . f either to get into Parliament , or to aid tnj ' gaming possession of power when they aro » y Such an independent and detenni » j . % ; would hav e the effect of oiibor « " / the Whi gs to coalesce with ty ' $ party , on their own termsor it would g ' ve .,... tvi'l '
