A DILEMMA.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SPECTATOR. 15th August 1837.
Snt—Lord JOHN RCSSEE L distinctly asserted, in reply to the appeal is behalf of the Ballot which I made to him at Stroud, that if he fouod that the electors really could not exercise their undoubted right of voting according to their own unbiassed will, he should not oppose the adoption of that measure. Now the returns for England and Wales give a considerable majority to the Tories: if, therefore, Lord June: Russet'. still .opposes the Ballot, he can alone dose on the express ground that the constituency of England end No, is at heart opposed to the principles of his Administration. This alternative, which I think you will admit to be fairly deducible frceo his Lordship's statement, ought to be forcibly introduced in the next discreet", in Parliament on Mr. GROTE'S motion; which, as a zealous advocate of tie Ballot, I trust will be ntarle whilst the infamies of the late elections are frith in the recollection of the House.
I am, Sir, very obediently yours, J. C. SYMONS,
