Mr. Osborne Morgan, who seconded Mr. Dillwyn's resolu- tion, was
rather less moderate in tone than the Member for Swansea. He quoted Mr. Spencer Walpole to the &effect that "it is absurd to say that a country enjoys reptesentative institutions when its delegates are uniformly outvoted by men of another race," a remark which does not touch the issue at all, unless you insert the words, "on one particular question," after the word "outvoted," for the Welsh Members as often carry their point,—for example, on the Sunday-Closing ques- tion, where their legislative success has by no means produced the fruits expected of it,—as any other class of Members. Mr. Osborne Morgan contended that the attendance at Non- conformist services is more than four times as numerous as the attendance at church ; and yet the minority, which has the assistance of the national revenue, consists precisely of the richest part of the people, who have most power to help themselves. "Talk of political Dissenters !" said Mr. Osborne Morgan; "why, half the vicarages in Wales are political camps and centres at election-time."
