To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That the Votes he taken in each Parish by the Parish Officers ; and all the Elections finished in one and the same day.
That the Parish Officers make the Returns to the Sheriff's Court to be held for that purpose at stated periods.
And, That Parliaments be brought back to a Constitu- tional Duration.
The simplicity of this plan appears from its being the true Constitution of England, which has already prepared all the meaiii of carrying it into immediate effect ready to our hands ; and I make n...o hesitation in delivering it as my well-digested opinion, that under the operation of this Reform, it would be attended with much less difficulty to return a whole Parliament, than to settle a dispute at a vestry about a parish pauper. By the adoption of this plan of Reform, those disgraceful prac- tices, which now attend even c^nuity elections, would be put a stop to. No bribery, perjury, drunkenness, nor riot; no *^ Wealthy Brewer, " as was humourously described, who, disappointed of a job, takes, in consequence, " the indepen- dent line, and bawls out against corruption:" no opportuni- ty would remain for such mock patriotism : — no leading attorneys galloping about the country, lying, cheating, and stirring uo the worst passions amongst the worst people: — no ill blood engendered between friends and relations — setting families at variance, and making each county a perpetual de- 19 pository of election feuds and quarrels: — No Dcmagogueing, — If I am a demagogue, I am as complete ?iJelo de ie as can well be imagined, — this puts an end to the occupation: — There would be an end lo all odious and fanciful distinctions of persons and property — all would be simple and uniforin ; their weight and influence proportioned to their intrbmc value ; no qualifications, nor disqualifications ; — no invidious exclu- sions by reason of any office, fr(jin the highest to the lowest, either in the elector or the elected — no variable, fantastical, litigious rights of voting — no possibility of false votes — no treating — no carrying out voters — no charges of anv kind — no expense, legal or illegal — no contested elections.
