p 100 "we" must person to point out any specific

Plow. 4. 92. Ao 1784 June 21. Dublin Convention Committee, "Address to
the people of Ireland

Long and peacefully have we endured, in common with p. 97 Copy to
independent justice
on p.98

"you all, the miseries arising from the abuse of power,
"and the well known defects in the present state of representation"
"in the Commons House of parliament: defects
"tending to the total annihilation of our boasted form of
"Government, and productive of the highest oppression
"to the inhabitants of this loyal and independent nation.

ib. p.98. Perfectly sensible must you be of that aristocratic influence,
"which has rendered the representation of the people
"merely nominal, and destroyed that equal balance in the
"three estates of the legislature, on which alone depends the existence
"of our glorious constitution. You have beheld the charter
"granted to divert boroughs in the kingdom, entitling the bodies
"thereby incorporated to a return of representatives, abused
"and perverted to the most destructive purposes, insomuch
"that the intention of the Crown in establishing these borough
"towns, has been frustrated by the artful practice of designing
"men; and persons returned to Parliament from depopulated
"populated places, where scarce any inhabitants exist, or for
"considerable cities and towns, where the elective franchise
"is confined to a few. Nor is it less notorious, that the proprietors
"of the soil, where such depopulated boroughs once stood
"have dared to usurp a power of selling seats to members
"in the present House of Commons, and by such unwarrantable
"and corrupt means have those purchasers become
"illegal representatives of the people.
