Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Exposition of the Circumstances Which Gave Rise to the Election of Sir Francis Burdett, Bart: For the City of Westminster, and of the Principles Which Governed the Committee Who Conducted That Election The true friends of their country have long fell, with great regret, that the system which has grown up, and has been so long carried on, of governing by corruption, is pregnant with the most serious mischiefs to the state. It had, of late years, become of unparalleled enormity; and peculations and abuses, of a magnitude beyond conception, were daily discovered: but it appeared that, however flagrant the crime, such was the power of the system, that no remedy could be applied, nor any redress be obtained. The oppressions too, consequent upon the expense of this system of venality, had become so intolerable, and were so grievously enforced, without the intervention of a jury, by the unconstitutional and inquisitorial power, and arbitrary decisions, of Commissioners appointed by the Crown, that many of the adherents of the system which had been adopted by the Pitt and Melville faction, began themselves to complain, and to cease to wonder at the discontent of the people.
