ABSTRACT
The House of Commons is composed of two principal Factions:—those in power, and those who wish to be in power; and besides these factions, of Sir Francis Rurdett and Lord Cochrane, between whom unfortunately there seems to be too little co-operation, and of a few other persons of equivocal opinions. While the mass of the PEOPLE remained in silence on the great question of Parliamentary Reform, the only question of any real importance to them, the OUTS were silent as the grave. There has always been a struggle in this country of KNOWLEDGE against power; and knowledge in the long run has always gained the victory, and knowledge will still continue victorious. In 1795, on the 29th Oct an attempt was made upon the life of his Majesty, on his way to the House of Peers, to open the Sessions of Parliament.
