Excerpt from Breach of Privilege: Being the Evidence of Mr. John Bull, Taken Before the Secret Committee on the National Distress in 1847 and 1848 Sir Robert Peel, in his Speech upon Mr. Herrie's Motion, on the 28th of August, distinctly admitted that the suspension or repeal of his measures would relieve the country from the commercial distress under which it had been so long suffering, and, consequently, that they are the cause at least of the continuance of that distress. Also, that he never will consent even to a temporary relief, until the distress and ruin are at least as great as in October, 1847. The "Currency Question, " therefore, is no longer a difficulty, no longer involved in mystery, but is reduced to this simple form: "Will this commercial community any longer submit to a system confessedly intended to deprive them of the control of their own affairs, and to cripple the commercial enterprise of the country?" Under this new feature of the case, a Second Edition of this Publication may appear unnecessary. But it is not sufficient to know that Sir Robert Peel's system is wrong, the public should know what is right, in order to guard them against any delusive attempts to patch it up. Nothing will do but an entire eradication of the cancer, and the public mind is fast coming to that conclusion.
