ABSTRACT

The Original Sacred Compact between the Constituents and Representatives is no longer to be forgot, but must, by the Law of Limiting the Duration of Parlements, be revived and inforced. The Elector, before neglected and dispised, will learn his weight and importance in the Councils of the Nation. He is no longer to be duped by the designing man, who, after having obtained his Vote, domineered over his Elector, knowing the office confered, was for life. The Equality, if not the superiority, of the Electors to the Elected will now be known and confessed, universally. The author sketches the distempered State of the body politic, in order to point out the most speedy and effectual method of Cure, which appeared solely to depend upon the Wisdom and Virtue of our choice of Representatives in Parlement, and pointed out such Characters, as one ought to choose, and such as one might not, consistent with any Just principle, trust to represent.
