The great law of action in this ' the law of ADAM Sstrrn. The great aim and object of Government adjust the political supply exactly to the popular demand. The chief _ of man is to be in accordance with political economy. Our being and our relations are found altogether to depend upon certain statistics. We come into the world in eonsequenee of an abundance potatoes, or rice, or maize; we invariably marry Recording to the price twat; and we die for the sake of economy or theories of civilization.' .J but an unpractical or disinterested politician ever thinks about con sistency or keeping a conscience in these days ; when it is well known that eon:science is an absurd custom, and that consistency is always more honoured in the breach than in the observance? Political man, considered present, is nothing more than a column of facts and figures ; a rapid calculation makes him, though a mistake in calculation may very possibly minake him. Money 7 changers rule us, We are willing to make war or conclude peace, alter our laws, change our constitution, and barter for a showy interest no matter how much solid and sterling principle. In this is an age of political disillusion. We are every` day Fe tting rid ideas, becoming disabused of all time-honoured traditions, and laying a troop of very troublesome and uncluiet religious phantoms. the great men 4 living or dead, who have distinguished themselves in dy opposition to a temporizin- policy, we would not show any disrespect : simply necessary tO i gn ore ° the one, and to do with the other what to be done at 'ffib,,CbarterhoUr when a poor Brother was buried_ a stone-rolltroVer i t t be part, and level out of the mind any promi at recollections: A great luminary of the day—the Author of the History of Civilization'—has discovered that morality is imp essive ; Tta in fact, it is continually on account of its awkwardness get t in the of progress ; and that, whereas a country must progrem, W e t cannot progress with morality, it must progress without it; detathhig itself from out-worn prejudice and such morality as is to be found in a certain old, - - thumbed, and, except by philosophers and politicians, hallowed Book. aphorism of considerable social import and political wisdom was uttered by Lord JOHN Rtaisraz a few days ago en the Jew Bill. " Sons," said that lawgiver of the House ofßedford, who, like the Athenian, looks to his country's end, "Sons are often wiser than their fathers; and by the time "that her Majesty may be advised to confer a patent of peerage on a Jew, the House of Peers will in ail probability have changed its view, and will be ready to admit him "—a dictum of much sagacity, we admit, although we confess ourselves somewhat surprised that Lord Jolts Russet'. should not have seen, that in the period to which his political foresight transported him, a House of Lords would in all probability have voted useless, and a nuisance, and its place of meeting applied to Yggitrnrgilit: hand .
