ABSTRACT
A noble Duke has given it as his opinion, that to allow every man a vote in his particular district, together with annual elections, would be the most effectual and permanent Reform of Parliament. Twenty-four hours on the eve of a general election, might alone repair all the havock which we have sustained in America. But as nothing can take place, so long as the franchises of boroughs continue to be tolerated, let us hasten to remove these obstructions. For if we look into history, every page of it will shew us how pure and exemplary those times were, when the parliament were of scarce any conference. In vain did he attempt to Crush by statute, the necessary effect of his own proceedings. To such a step there could be no objection, as this property lies entirely useless in the hands of its present possessors, and by this means it might be turned to a national service.
