The opinion wiiicli I declared to Wore nr-t the revenues of the Church of England '"strihi,? ^1°° that they outht to be more e(«uitably tiou of tf 110 longer to be disputed. The appiioa- principle must be regulated by caution, but not enfeebled by a lurking desire to keep alive the seeds of abuses which we profess to destroy. With regard to the Church of Ireland the case is widely different. I refused to assist in making perpetual parochial sinecures where the clergyman and his clerk, week after week, and year after year, formed the whole of the congre- gation. Besides the general injustice and glaring absurdity of this system, it is easily proved that the maintenance of these ecclesiastical sinecures irritates the people of Ireland, weakens the reputation of the British Crown abroad, and injures the Protestant religion, which it is intended to promote. 11 Let us add to these evils that the present system cannot be maintained except by a large military force; which in case of foreign war must ot necessity be greatly augmented. Burdensome to England, sanguinary in Ireland, disturbing the peace of society, and injurious to the religion it pro- fesses to serve no eloquence can recommend, and no talents can long maintain so vicious a policy. In place of this system, I proposed that the surplus re- venue of the Establishment, after providing for the spiritual care of the members of the Church, should be devoted to the education of all classes of the people, without distinction of religious persuasion. It was my object to teach the poor and industrious classes that they have some interest in the Church revenue; to inspire them, by means of religious and moral education, with the love of their neighbours, and a sense of their duties to the State finally, to open their minds to great truths, and soften their hearts towards the Government which rules them. Then, indeed, might the Protestant Church hope to diffuse its influence, for it will be judged by its merits and not by its exactions. These were the chief subjects of debate, and some of them of essential difference between the majority of the House of Commons and the late Administration. On some other topics an agreement appeared, which must to many have been unexpected. It was a constant topic of reproach to Lord Grey's Ministry, that it did not sufficiently relieve agriculture from its burdens; and the maintenance of the malt-tax was pointed out as a glaring instance of this neglect. Sir Robert Peel held a different opinion, and upon his declaration that his Ministry should stand or fall with the malt-tax, it at once appeared that the clamour which sup- posed Lord Grey hostile to the landed interest, and Lord Althorp indifferent to the welfare of the farmer, had been a mere factious cry raised without scruple, and abandoned without shame. Nor does it appear that, had the late Ministry continued in office, they intended anything further than the relief of the land from some part of the county rate, to which Lord Althorp had last year consented. The only measure actually proposed by the late Ministers for the advantage of agri- culture, was a Bill for the voluntary commutation of tithes. "I have often stated to you that I do not think such a measure would be effectual, and I fear that in those cases where tithe is most grievous, the remedy would be most in- operative. To frame a measure just alike to the tithe-owner and tithe-payer, is undoubtedly difficult, but I see as yet no reason to abandon the attempt. Such have been the views which have guided my con. duct in opposition to the late Ministry. In succeeding to office I shall endeavour faithfully to carry them into effect By so doing, I am of opinion that I shall be assisting to gather from the Reform Act its legitimate fruits. [ "As one of those most deeply engaged in framing, propos- ing, and carrying that great measure, I am bound to declare, that on the one hand I did not intend that it should be the first of a series of organic changes, each exceeding its pre- decessor in importance and rapidity. Even were the changes meditated useful in themselves, I am of opinion that the public mind, and the public ener- gies, will be far better occupied in considering and urging practical improvements, than in squaring our ancient insti- tutions to abstract theory, or suiting them to foreign exam- ple. On the other hand, I did not intend that the Reform Act should be a mere toy in the hands of the people, with- out benefit to themselves or their posterity. It was my wish to see the popular influence control and check the exorbitant or corrupt expenses of the State • to see our institutions renewed and purified by clearing them the lemoval of all unnecessary impediments to free thought writing, and action; to hear the interests of all classes weighed' not by the prejudices and partial affections of those who' fnhf*ritsm i 'e, Pe"P .3 y?lce' aud usurped the people's inheritance, but by the legitimate representatives of that people, summoned by the Sovereign to uphold that Monarchy w lich they are the formal support, and to be the image of that enlightened nation whose confidence they enjoy.— I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your faithful and obliged servant, "J. RUSSELL."
