THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
LTO THE EDITOR OF THE "SnrcrAroa."1 Sur,—A favourable crisis now approaches for the nation to con- sider what to do with the House of Commons. Its character is utterly bad. This is proved by an amount of evidence, given by competent witnesses, such as no Court of Justice would reject. Take, first, the Members on the Liberal side, and we find that they are guilty of about every crime that such a body of men can commit. From wholesale murder downwards, a series of atroci- ties have been perpetrated, through a number of years, by men who have been repeatedly shown to be dishonourable, hypo- critical, imbecile, cruel, unpatriotic, and entirely unprincipled ; all for the purpose of keeping themselves in office. This awful conduct is exposed by between two and three hundred witnesses, who have been sitting in the same House, and, therefore, know all about it. Moreover, the charges have been repeated by the Conservative newspapers, and spread over the world.
Then tarn to the other side ; read the Liberal speeches and newspapers of a few years ago, when the present " ins " were the "outs." An overwhelming amount of evidence is pro- duced in proof that the remaining portion of our Representatives
were equally guilty of the most astounding wickedness. It now remains for the electors to consider the question of abolishing the House of Commons.—I am, Sir, &a., J.
