THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER . IMPORTANT DISCUSSION BETWEEN ARCUKll GURNKY , ESQ ., BA 11 RISTER A-T-LAW . AND Mil . THOMAS CLARK , OF TUB EXECUTIVE COMMIT PEE OF THE NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION . On Friday evening , February 12 . h . the Literary and Scientilio Institution , John Stn . ot , Tottenham Court Road , notwithstanding the inclmnency of the weather was crowded to excess , anxious to hear this discussion . At halt past seven o ' clock , Mr . T . M . Wheki . eu came forward and proposed that Mr . John Skelton should take the chair . Mr . Archer Gnrncy having seconded the motion , it was carried unanimously .
Mr . T . M . Wiieei . er then read Mr . Gurnfy ' s chill-Icn . ne , which has already appeared in the Slur , and stated that Mr . Gurney would open the dcbite , taking half-an-hour for that purpose , that Mr . Clark , would then ukch-ilf-iin ln . nr to reply , —al ' ti-r which the disputants , would speak lor a quarter-ofan-hoiir alternately , until the cioso of the diicussion The Chairman 'hen rose , .-mdin a few remarks introdurcd Mr . Gi : bskv , who on rising was welcome'l by the unanimous app lause of the audience , llesaid lie was anadvecatcof the principles -if Liberty uud Justiue , and whatev er ho mitht iulvat . ee , lie trusted they would icccive with jjood focliii ! . ' , in which fecliiiRhc now addressed them . When he opposed the I ' eoiile ' M
Charter , he als > opno-ed the jiroiuu ! work on which it was founded . All wouM a ^ ree that the object .-of all governmciits was to seciirc the tvell-beiny ot the people , and that liberty is founded on tin- principles of Equal Justice . All are livbie tn err—nations may err , tiie wisest , the . Tcatest , ih- ; bu . sr , may err so that no such tliiutr a ^ infallibility could hr arrived at . It was the wis ' otn ol g . iverniny that caused power to be distributed—a division ot' powera government in which tho popular power was checked by the aristocratic power—and both in ' . licit turn ctiunteroheukcd by monarchy—thus consti ' . otini ; a triple appeal— . therwi-: u n . despotism would bo the bi-st of all governments , whi ! .-t an autocratic form ol government was the very wor .-t . A division ol power was best attained bv a mixed form of uove n-
ment , ami the voiue of the people , was that which invariably influenced the state . It should have-ne . it power , but not be altogether ah-ohite . This best form of Government was that which esmsUtcd of monanliy , aristocracy , and demncracy , the lattir prepondcratin . ! , ' . Such a constitution was that ot England , and which the " Chartur" proposed to alter . ( Hear , lif-nr . ) The liriti-h constitution consisled of three elements—first , the Commons ; which represented the middle classes—( Inar , hear)—and , as tlu-y assorted , in a treat measure , the masses also , their property and'intellect . The next was ih . > Lords , who , to a certain extent , represented the masses also . ( No , no . ) iiu could specify cases in which they had done sc . Then came the Crown , which acted ns a counter-check , representiii '' the
interest of both . ( Laughter . ) But there was another court—public opinion ; and should an obnoxious measure pass each branch of the ! e < uslatuiv , public opinion would soi'ii revoke it . Ho would now come to tho points of the Charter . Universal S «( t ' ra « c stood first , which would be found another word t ' ndespotism . ( Murmurs . ) In France , universal iquality was declared ; but in fifteen months afterwards a soldier of fortune—a despot—Napoleon —was raised by the suffrages ef the millions t > the throne of Franco . ( Hear , hoar . ) Some men contended that Universal Suffrage might exist in a mixed firm of government , but he believed ' , t would be mix- < i in name only , lie was convinced that , in the e months after t ' m establishment of Universal SuflV- 'trc , ihe Utilise of 1 'rci-s would cc . w to exist . ' . Ik brl . eved
it wmld he utterly impossible tor the IVors to pass a bill under such circumstance- ;; so that , it' they did exist-, it would be in name fitly . True , it could in . t now be in id the House of Cuminon * ivpres . ntcd tli « - maws in a primary nense , but in a secondary one it did , just a * the Lords did the aristocracy . All wi . nld sec that the urcat m . is-i might , however piod , e-r ; lint he believed that the in- > tin » t of » oml within ti . ok them riu'ht in the end —( cheess)—but strong opinions and feelings were got up in a m « niuiit , and tiie wrong was done ; but , at present , a learned li ' dy . having a great interest at-stake , yet , independent oltin' pi- ' p ! . lar will , existed to cheek such inliuences . Ii w . is absolutely necessary to h ;> vt : sm-li an jndrpendL-nt body as the only medo of preserving a mixed trover - ment . Aivl , lookin . ' at tin ; American rcniulia < o : s .
who refused to pay their jn > t dehts . it was a pro . }' democracy could do wrong ; and also looking at tiie power and influence which some democratic leaders hid obtained , l . e saw clearly tho necessity of li . « vin : > a body of learned , independent , men in t-xi-ttnee , to check the impulse of the peopic . and give them time to n fleet , or great mischief would be dono . 11 ¦ Inn already referred to the election of Napoico . M to the throne of Franco ; it was to pi-event despotism like this , he would k"cp in existence : i iiotly uf wcll-eilueate i men . No one man—nay , not a body of m .-iicould bo trussed without si . nie check . T » o many prods of this csi < ted from the day tif Athens liow ' n toithose of ourim-n tini's .

Mr . Cuhnkv ( chceri ) rose to reply to Mr .

France ; yet never did war carry so much public sympathy with it , as the one which ended so cloriouslv by hurling the diMpot Napoleon from the . throne of France .

the people from bein » led astray by men of talent ; to preserve them from faHins » into a dilemma , from which they would be the first to recoil , when rejection reached them ; to preserve a cheek ; to have a second and a third court of appeal . He repeated that tho question of Austria vcrsvH England , lay in the social , not the political state ; jxt Austria was not ruled solely by tho Emperor . as some supposed , but by a 15 u « reaucracy . fit : had attempted to prove that democracy was an ah-nluUsm , and that it was fov the benefit of al l that they . « hnuld have checks and counterchecks ; and that Monarchy , Aristocracy , and Democracy should co-exist , to keep each other in chock .

MlT I — — Scotland _ , INVBRSESSSniRF . tom-Avacstvs . —There is great distress in this phu-e . Most of the able-bodied men have gone to 1 oi th for work ; the parochial relief is miserably small ; and a number of aged bed-ridden persons would literally have starved , but for the humane exertions of some-few individuals . ABERDKENSniRE . Fire , —An alarming fire broke out in a building connected with Spring Garden Works , Aberdeen on Tuesday week . Tho fire raged five hours , and destroyed property to the amount of £ 3 , 000 . FIFESIHRE . Tnu Fishing . —The cod-fish have almost entirely disappeared again ; several boats having shortlir . es caught only a very jew . The wind has been prevailin" from the north-west , with keen frost , which has p inched our fishermen very much . The herring-fishins has not been very general . Several of our boats have been singularly fortunate , but the majority havt barely made wages . ^
rKnTiisniitE . Rather Skveixb . —List week , a considerable number of the labourers on the Central Biilway , near l ' ortb , were discharged for refusing to contribute a day ' s pay to the fund for rel ' ievins ; the destitute Highlanders . It will be at once conceded that men who were regularly employed at good wages during thewhotu season nu « ht , at le . ist , contribute one day s pay to diminish a distress so very genera !; but very few seem disposed to subscribe to the policy of anmn « railway timekeepers—seldom vcrv nice in their discriminations —with power to inflict pains and penalties in case of refusal . —Correspondent . A MvsTunitius Affair . — Last week , while the men employed on the Midland Junction Railway , a ! ew miles north from Perth , were making some ' excavations on the line , they came upon two human skeletons , the hair on the skulls of which was quite fresh . Thed-itcoftlicirintcrmentcannothavcbeen very rcniote ; but by what means as there was nobody n . issiunfrom the locality within the memory of the neighbours that can be identified with the case , is not easily accounted for .
GLASGOW . Destitution-. —From the records of the Central Police-office , wo learn that tlio number of persons brought before the sitting magistrate from Jan . 18 so Feb . 13 , 1317 , was 7 S 3 , there were 32 males , 1 M females , and 44 ehildien , Scotch and Eoj-lisli ; and 170 males , 211 female , and 20 b" children , Irish . Comparatively few belonged to this city . Dkath by taking OnuM . —A meilieal gentleman , wlii has been a . considerable time in Glasgow , went to a neij . 'hl ) ourin ( , ' town , early in the week , for Ihe benefit ol his health . Ho tonic a large quantity of opium as a medicine , but the dose proved fatal , as h ..- never awoke from the sleep so induced . * Fevkr i . v Glasgow . —Typhus fever is now rapidly spivadinir 'inum * the inhabitants of the move densely populated parts of tlio citv and suburbs .
