The Warwickshire Tories, with the Lord Lieutenant at their head,
have got up an Anti-Reform petition, to which 800 names are appended. 3VIr. Attwood has the offer of a Reform adhesion address, signed by 40,000.
An Anti-Reform Address to his Majesty has been handed about the city of Coventry by a sub-agent of the Marquis of Hertford. The following is a correct list of the signatures obtained-4 aldermen, 6 clergymen, 8 doctors, 12 lawyers, 1 gaoler, 3 bankers (one firm), 8 rib- bon-manufacturers, 5 warehousemen, 1 draper, 1 innkeeper, 2 carriers, 2 printers, 2 grocers, 3 maltsters, 1 druggist, 1 schoolmaster, 1 stay- maker, 1 pork-butcher, 1 gentleman—out of a population of more than thirty thousand inhabitants!
The Lancashire Herald says, the Tories are endeavouring, by every sneaking and underhand means, to get up a petition against all Reform. They are scouring the country to catch signatures, and to entrap all honest and sensible Englishmen by mitavresentation and art ffice. Will the _Herald inform us what he means by honest mid sensible? The common term for persons so entrapped is "dishonest" or "stupid"—sometimes both.
