An Ele&or, whose name we do not know,- said '
that as they had drank the univeifal cause of Li- at 1
feerty, he (hould be glad if Mr. Home Tooke wet
would Rate to the meeting, whether it is confident ln - :
or within the bounds of a member of Parliament rec<
to explain his opinion upon the fubjett of Parlia- hng
mentary reform. He underflood Mr. Fox did not lvas
like universal fuffrage and annual Parliaments; and he
if Mr. Fox continued an enemy to reform he would " e y
remain in a minority. And it Mr. Tooke was an bur
enemy to reform, he would remain in a minority
also. He wished Mr. Tooke to inform the people c° R
how to rerain their rights, and expel these mini- 3 }
fters. .
k Mr. Tooke said, nothing in the world ever gives » la
me more-pWafure tlian to be called upon as the gen- rlf )
tleman has done. It is the manner in which gen- ten
tlemen (hould c<dl upon those perfong who are their 0 c
Representatives, or who offer to become their Re
presentatives, and scrutinizing every sentiment they
hold which relates to public Liberty. lam called " a
upon for two things, one which I can answer, and e
one which I cannot. As far as relates to myfelf,
lam able to do it,' and I am glad to do it ; but J' ,u
when lam called upon to explain the sentiments of lie
a gentleman who is ahfent, I mnft beg to be ex- g°
cufed. I thirk the heft, and Hope the belt of
Mr. Fox, although there are some things unex- '■
.■plained by him.-—However it is possible the mo- nl
ment may arrive when you and I, and all of us, ,r
----may compel him to explain himfelf, even if he
were not inclined to do so.
# The gentleman has supposed, that if I were in
Parliament, I too (hould have continued in a mi- mi
nority. I believe not, for both the majority and
Minority would have been unanimous to hang me.
For the means which the people ought to pursue th
to obtain a reform in Parliament, I fay, they ought foi
to pursue any effe&ual means in their power. In
dividuals cannot do much ; but, though the means gr
tfeey pursue produce the mod sanguinary m
nteafures oh the part oFfhe minider, they ought til
rot defid, for liberty may arise out of their blood.
