Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Real Character and Tendency of the Proposed Reform But of this we are convinced; - let the motives which have led to its formation and promulgation be what they may;be they the purest that ever animated the heart of man, or the blackest that ever sullied the pages of our history, - the result is inevitable - no play upon words, no disguise, no qualification, will suffice to alter it, - The Reform means Revolution. And if ever there could have been a doubt upon the subject, the fact that, with all the romantic and impracticable propositions of the present scheme, (and which, if carried into effect, must entirely subvert the government, and overthrow the three estate of the kingdom,) - the Reformers are not satisfied, is, we should think, quite sufficient to dissipate it. Mr. Hunt in parliament declares this fact, and at the moment when every rational sober-i minded man of either party. Whig or Tory, i$ raising his hands and eyes to heaven in amazement at the audacity and danger of the project, Mr. Hunt recommends the Reformers to be contented with it only as the stepping stone to something else. The scheme of Reform, as put forth by Lord John Russell, is now familiar to every body. Its principle is absurd, as well as perilous, - its operation impracticable, or if practicable, useless, - and its whole tendency, as we have already said, destructive to the constitution of the country. The principle is absurd, - because it set? out with reducing the number of Representatives by way of increasing the efficiency of the representation.
