The Birmingham and Midland Reform Association have published an address explanatory of their objects; which are stated to be—to render the Reform Act complete and consistent by an extended suf- frage; the abolition of pecuniary qualifications in Members of Par- liament; the Ballot, and short Parliaments ; and also to effect a de- cided change in the House of Lords. The address concludes thus- " The organization of the people for such a display of their influence as may obtain for them not only these essential changes, but a search- ing and thorough Reform, local as well as national, in every depart- ment of the State and of the Church, is the grand aim and end of the Birmingham and Midland Reform Association. It was from Bir- mingham that the first breaking went forth of that happy dawn of freedom which the nation enjoys under the Great Charter of 1832, and it is fitting that the full light of the perfect day of liberty should have its origin and spring with the men of Birmingham."
