Funny, but before you go getting any ideas, am spok'n for.


-- Power to the People


   The accession of the young queen is a circumstance full of hope and 
promise. There is not a true English-man who will not warmly respond to 
her prayer that Providence may give her strength.

   The dissolution. No appeal to the people, more pregnant with future 
good or evil consequences to the nation, has ever been made.

   The question which the electors have to decide is whether we shall 
continue in that peaceful course of progressive reform; or whether, by a 
standing and pertinacious effort to cheat the people out of the 
legitimate consequences of the reform act, the future tranquility of the 
nation is to be placed in imminent hazard.

   That we shall have reforms; that the great principles of political 
and religious liberty will finally be established; that the government 
will be compelled to be more economical; that a higher standard of 
civilization will be ultimately be adopted amongst us; that legislation 
will be more sound in its principles -- these are articles of faith.

   We are, it may be said, at the commencement of a new era. We have a 
queen whose age and whose education alike secure her being unversed in 
the old maxims and the corrupt practices of courts and cabinets.

   As the first sovereign who has acceded to the throne since the time 
of our great political regeneration, her feelings, it seems to us, must 
be much identified with that important measure. Let us give the queen a 
reforming house of commons; and she will give us a reforming ministry.

   We call, therefore, upon every friend of improvement in the 
institutions of his country, upon every true reformer, to be up and 
doing. There is no time for hesitation and delay. Our opponents will be 
united, active, zealous, and many of them, unscrupulous.

   In union, zeal and activity, let us be at least their equals; and, 
whilst we use no weapons but such as we can employ with a good 
conscience, let us wield these with a decision, vigor, and effort 
proportioned to the goodness of our cause, and the importance of the 
objects we have in view.

   We repeat -- there is no time to lose. We trust that not a single 
week will elapse before we shall be enabled to state that effectual 
steps are being taken in all the neighboring boroughs to secure the 
return of sound liberal representatives, and to rescue South Lancashire 
from the reproach of being represented by two conspicuous anti-reformers.
