The meaning th Government attached to this paragraph was that Par- | liamentary Reform ought no longer to be a question which should decide the fate of Ministers (here there was a slight langh from below the gaugway on the Opposition side), and for this reason: that all persons had atterpted to deal with it—in 182, 54, 5,60, and | ’66—aud had failed. In a _Inn{ and elaborate retro- :r.d to the Reform question Mr. Disrachi traced to e disfranchisement of the laboring classes in 1832 the secds of the present demnnd for a change, of which Sir R. Peel f, 1 2 snd while repudiat working-classes hac u treated in the House of Commons in a disrespectful or diliatory spirit—the fault he found was that they had been met too often in an Epicurean tone, which wonld do anything for resent quiet—he denied that any scheme hud yet been introduced which was calculated to settle the contro- versy. As it was the Honse of Commons—not a olitical party or any political leader—which had isturbed the settlemcnt of 1852, so it was the House of Commons, and not any party, which had baffled every effort to pass a new Refo bill. The Hounse of Commons, therefore, had incurred a peenliar resporsibility in this matter, and was it not wise to consider whether conld wot pursue a course which, while not relicving the Goy- ermment {row its due share of responsil v, would fnsure them against a repetition of former mishaps ! This advantage might be attained if the House would give the Government some intimation of its views on the main points of the controversy by resolutions, before a bill was introduecd—a course, as Le showed. which was constitutional, justified by suceessful rll’t‘flh uts, would not lead to delay, and which, hough to require too much precision” would be un- reasonable, need not entail vagneness and uncer- tainty. The Government wonld at once lay on the table the resolutious they proposed for this purpose and would progead i their task of recousiruy ting o House of Commons on the principles British Constitution. : DA 61 Ohp er]lhflmeli sa1d (— will ot trouble the House with too much detai the character of the resolutions which, if it u'}nw;:w:.xn the opportunity, I iutend to propose. 1 hope those resos Jutiens wili be I the hands of members to-mogrow [hear, i but if they will permit me T wil advert to one of two poiuts on which I think it highly important the House should cowe to a clear and unequiy decision. And first, L st say, 1 am myself anxious that it should decide this—on what principles do they mean to recon- struct the House of Commons! Do théy mean to recon struct ivon the principles of the English Constitution {elicers], or ou the principles of the Coustitution of any other country 1 (Loud Ministerial cheers.) 1 think it {s very fmportant that that question should be decided. Her Majesty's Government intend, if they can, aud it the Honse will allow them, to reeoustruet the House on the principles of thé English Con- stitution. [Chicers) I do not wish to adyert to any remarks I Liave before made on that subject, becanse re- petition is painful, but 1t 1s better to be wearisome than mbiguous on such a question. We think that the English Constitution is not a mere phrase. [Hear.) We beliove we live under a monarchy modified iu its aciion by the co- ordinate anthority of the States of the realm, and we look npon the Commons of England, whom we répresent, as one of those estates. (Hear, hear.] I know it has been sald that this is werely an archaxological view of the Coustitution; but I think I can show the House that they will b very unwise if they quit, without doe con- sdération, the ancient traditions ‘of polity under which thcy live, and under which fhis couniry hus so sin- gulirly tlourished. JHear, hear) Undoubtedly, in the reat ‘vicissitudes of ceuturies, the relations between he estates of the realm in this country are greatly altered. The relations between them are greatly changed. There is no doubt that the Commons, whom we represent, have absorbed the greater part of the puthority whieh those estates once exercised, but 1 tnk 1 can sliow the House (that that is no reason why we shouald forget the constitutional scheme under w)nr{ this pountry has %o long prospered, but rather a reason why we should falrly consider whether we should cling to that -l as the “only guide lm‘lng the lexities which us, There 1& no doubt mm Commons of ngland, by the nmense iucrease of our population and wour property, Las assumed a character E’.numm o the other estates which was never contemplated i the days of the Plantagenets or the Tudors, It s, how- ever, & great error to suppose that it 18 merely in- ereawe of the populution and property of the Cominons that Las brought about the present forin of the English Cunst D, and the present eharacter and function of the House of Commone.

Disraehi concluded intimating that the Reso- lutious would be tuken into consideration on the %th inst. Mr. Gladstone, after vemarkiog on the novelly of the proposed procedure, the suceess of which, he ob- served, wonld not be furthered by Mr. Disraeli’s assumption that the Reform question ought no longer 1o iuvolve the fate of Ministries—for, though the House might have incurred o heaver responsibility on this than any other subject, the respoisibility of Gov- erument was not diminished—said that, though his Pprepossessions were against it, he shonld not object o procecding by resolutions if, when they were j dueed, they formied a plan which the Honse could nee either' by adoption or alteration as u menns of settle- ment. But if they turned out to be mere vague pre liminary declarntions, tending to unc ty and not calculuted to form the basis of set t, he | mwd the Honse would object to this mode of pro- ure. Their first duty was to refu vihing which tended to delay the primary du ing the franchise, for never nntil the question was got out of the way could the people of England become again an united people.
