DEBATE ON TIIE COXrEXTIOJ? QUESTION. HOUSE OF COMMONS, DEC. 1821. Mr. Stanly said, that rising under the disadvantage of addressing the House, after the subject had been ve ry fully discussed, he would detain them but a short time, while he humblv gleaned over the field which others had reaped. The question under consideration is not one of the common interest of le gislation, an error in which admits of an early correction. We have before us a proposition to abolish that Consti tution which we, and our fathers be fore us, have reverenced as the charter of our liberties, and to trust to the un certainty of chance for a better. Be fore we venture upon this hazard, let us cast an eye to the Constitution v hich it is proposed to destroy. The instru ment we speak of, is not the formation of yesterday; it is that institution un der which we have liv ed since the birth of our Independence ; which has se cured our lives, our liberty and the pursuit of happiness ; which has prov ed itself amply competent to all the objects of national prosperity ; which claims our veneration and confidence lor all the sanctions which time and ex perience cin give, and from the assur ance that under it we eniov everv bless nig which belongs to man in society. Vith equal rights to acquire -.nd enjoy property : the right to honour anil to office is also equal, and the poorest man in the community, presses his in lant boy to his bosom, with the cheer ing rejection, that with industry, vir tue and talents, his son may aspire to the highest offices in the State. Such is the Constitution we now possess: the work of man, it cannot be perfect : like other human institutions, a mix ture of good and evil, it has its defects : but the evils imputed to it should not only be manifest, but should be great, before we venture on the dreadful ex periment of destroying it, with no cer tainty what we are to obtain in its place. The gentlemen who advocate the call ol a convention, allege the evils of the Constitution are to be found, 1. In the unequal representation of the people. 2. In the want of power in the Le gislature to remove the Judges. 3. In the mode of appointing militia oflicers. Other objections, if they have them, they have not thought proper to men tion. The objection to the Constitution on the ground of unequal representation, is attempted to be supported, upon the allegation that the right of representa tion is equal ; that the same number of persons have the same rights, and should have the same influence in gov ernment, or in other words, that popu lation should govern representation. In passing to an examination of the foundation of their claims, ISIr. S. said, he would barely notice a difficulty which at the threshold met these advo cates of equal rights of all persons. If all persons have equal rights, why are women excluded? Why are mi nors excluded ? Because there are oth er considerations than the mere exis tence of a person, to support a claim to a share in government, his views of which, it was his purpose to offer; at present, he would without levity say, that in his opinion, the exemption of the sex was rather a privilege than an exclusion : their duties were of a high er, a more important, and of a more in teresting nature the instruction of their children, the care of their house hold, and the happiness of their hus bands. The imputed error of representation under the Constitution is divided into two parts r first, that the counties of the Eastern half of the State, with a less white population, have a greater number of Representatives in the Le gislature than the counties of the Wes tern half; and second, that particular small counties have as many Represen tatives as the largest. To test the solidity ot these objec tions, it is necessary to ascend to an inquiry into the elementary princi ples of society. Societv is not form ed, said Mr. S. merely to establish the j right nor to regulate the conduct of its members, in regard to personal liberty ; if this were the sole object of govern ment, the personal liberty being the same, the rig .ts of all would be equal: but, (with ut seeking for higher or ol der authoritv,) from the time when it was commarded, 41 thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's goods," the right to acquire and to en property is as clearly established, and is as essential to the enjoyment of life, as the right of personal liberty. The rich are pecpley as well as the pocr, and the right of property, whether large or small, is alike sacred. This security equallv benefits those who a! ready possess, and those who seek to acquire property it stimulates to en terprize and industry. Revenue is the vital principle of government : this rev enue, property pays. We hold it, therefore, a fundamental principle in government, that harriers should be erected for the security of property ; that the possessors of the property of a Stite, or of a District, should have a weight in its affairs, proportioned to the contribution they m.'ke to its support, and to the State which they have pla ced upon its prosperity. Not in gov ernment only, but in every association for the management of property, thi's principle is seen to operate. In Banks, in Navigation Companies, in estates held in common, the influence or con trol of each proprietor is proportioned to th amount he has contributed to the Common Stock. Th.u no man's property can rightful ly be taken without his consent, in oth er words, that taxation- and iiepre-sentation- are inseparable, was the very b.isis of our Revolution. The vi olation of this principle by the parent country, first provoked our resistance ; on this solid ground, that taxation and representation were inseparable, our fa thers planted the Standard of Indepen dence. To prove this, Mr. S. said hr; would read ohort extracts from some of those eloquent remonstrances ad dressed by the Colonies to Great Bri tain at the commencement of th . Rev olutionary contest. The Book was a volume of Marshall's life of Washing ton, which he found at hand. Mr. S. here read extracts from va rious addresses of the American Col onies to the British Government, in which it was claimed as a " fundamen tal axiom, that taxation and represen tation are inseparable from each oth er " That the security of right and property is the great end of govern ment ;" 4t That such measures as tend to render right and property preca rious, tend to destroy both propertv and government, for these must stand or fall together;" That "the propri etors of the soil are lords of their own property, which cannot be taken Irum them without their own consent and 44 that it is essentially a right that a man shall quietly enjoy and have the dispo sal of his own property." From what source more pure can au thorities be drawn ? But he would not limit the range of inquiry : In every country where the right of property ex ists, the rule must be found. All Re publics, ancient and modern, Sparta, Athens, Rome, V enice, Bern and Hol land, all had their separate body rep- resenting property and rank. The ma jority m every country are men with out property ; if numbers alone should decide, the greater number would take the property cf the less. Certainly that government cannot be free, nor can it enjoy Constitutional liberty, which excludes the people, however poor, from a share in its administration : thev are the bones and sinews of the State. and their voice must be heard : yet as suredly all power of government is not to be trusted, uncontrolled, in such hands. In every age, and in every climate, man is the same ; unchecked, he is found unjust, tyrannical and cru el. The rights of the minority must be protected ; Government must be balanced with a view to the protection of the whole, and to that end, in a gen eral sense, and in a general form, prop erty must have its weight and influ ence. This principle for which he con tended, Mr. S. said, had existed in this country from its earliest settlement. The gentleman from Salisbury, (Mr. risher,) had reminded us, that long- prior to the Revolution, a freehold 4 l
