The Extracts which we gave vesterday from this excellent Review of the temper of .the Times, and of the conduct of the Ministryand Op position, and other pOlitical parties In the State must have excited the attention of our Readers : we therefore proceed to fulfil our promise; arid to give further Extracts from it. The following observations on the mischievous effects of party spirit, we are sorry to say, 'too justly and truly po:trtray the present state of - public . a• We have tints examined the past and present—let us carry our views forward to the future. %What are the signs of the times ? and what dangers do they portend ? An atten tion to this point is more peculiatly necessary, because with • out it a very well-meaning man may do a vet y great deal of mtsehief in a State. lie will, from mere abstract theories, deduce rules of conduct, which, however right in themselves, may be totally inapplicable to time case, and, in the existing situation of the Country, infinitely injurious.. He will, from a mere general resemblance, reason front one period of History to another, without obseiving or taking into the ac count thoSe small, but critical distinctions, which give it new complexion to the symptoms, and require a inode of treat ment altogether different. This is too often the mistake of speculative men, who, from briog unaccustomed to the teat business of life, are not sufficiently careful in marking . out the actual circumstances of men and thiogs. Yet there is no political error of a more fatal tendency. At present, how ever, time signs of the - times arc but tot easily distin g uished : they are of that menacing and omin o us a s p ect which foretells a tempest of calamities. 'From every point of the compass comes confusion and dismay. The brow of individuals is darkened by the lowering clouds which hang over the Ciotti try; and a concerti for the difficulties of England scents al most to have absorbed every pritrate and minor consideration. 'lite first sign, which must strike every impartial observer, is that want of moderation--that spirit of l(traistn, if I may so express myself—which pervades A LI. rAwri es in this kingdom. There are bigots in politics as well as in religion : anti bigotry is equally mischievous in both cases. I do not wish that there should be no parties in the State : even faction may some times be salutary. It may keep up freedom of discussion, detect latent abuses, and preserve that energy and inde pendence which are characteristic of our Country. But there is some difference between the breeze, which creates a gentle current to preserve the waters front stagnation, and the hurricane or the whirlwind, which agitates them into tempest, anti may engulf hereatter.iii its vortex every thing of value amid the universal shipwreck of the State. It now appeals, mot only that both sides are in fected by a contagious taithusiasin among themselves, but each maddens and exasperates the opposite party by their re ciprocal violence. Again : the Parliamentary Orators in flame the feelings of the people, and the popular irritation enters insensibly into the 'debates of Parliament. On one side we bear of nothing but an overwhelming and irremedi able accumu-lation of distress, caused solely by the improvi dent and 11 •gitions conduct .of the Ministers—of the iron grasp of despotism, palsying all the vital energies of the na tion—of one long series of flagrant enormities—of one coo tinned system of taxation, oppression, restrictions, espionage, and open violationi of the COnstitistion handed down to us by our ancestors, as completely destitute of all decency, as con trary to all law. This sweeping declamation is opposed or the other side by assititions as general, and almost as un meaning. We are told of - one universal mania prevailing among the people—of principles subversive of all orderol tenets which strike directly at the root of all government ant all religion—of the national character lost, tainted, degraded bewildered in the maze of factious systems, sunk in the mire of revolutionary designs ;—we ate told that thelower classes are without employnient because they will not worknot that they cannot work because they are without employ ment :—that their wild notions roust he crushed by the arm of power—destroyed by soine vigorous, decisive, and imme diate resolution. Alas ! even if these assertions were true-s-- if there were an actual and pressing danger of a reign of ter ror, or a reign of anarchy ! --- - such idle vehemence would be to little purpose ! Is this the Method to heal our wounds and comp ise our divisions ?' Can we thus alleviate the Misfor tunes of an agitated and distracted country ? Is it not enough that we are labouring under real and undeniable distresses Must we aggravate and inflettie them by the bitterness and rancour of contending factions? Whitber shall we be car ried by this extromity of•party rage ? or who can profit- by it . but time enemies of. England—whether they lie the forergn • foes, who fear and hate her as a rival, or the ungrateful vipers at home, whom she cherishes in her bosom ? , " gut why should we. disguise the fact ? there have heal . foal's and follies on 'Loth sides ; and till one at least of fbr parties•shall be less vehement in its hostility, and less indiscri 7 minate in its censure, there can be little hope of tranquillity for the' country. , Unjust aspersions against the Ministry should be met by argument and reason, not by similar asper , sions anti sithilar injustice. We must resist bigotry by moderation, rather titan oppose to it any other intolerance, different its its name but equal in its mischief. S t ron g cases ' , it is perhaps thonght, require strung remedies; but the pre sent method can only add fury to delusion, sad exasperation to prejudices. It is like' blowing a fire and adding excite ments to fever. It is indeed the madness of many for the gain .of a few :'—it is the infatuation of the well 'disposed for the advantage of disaffected demagogues, or time-serving sy cophants. ,Dc . Lohne, airs he conclusion of his work, -- reniarks the total freedom,- front violence with which the political disputes and contentions in England are conducted and ter minated."l his observation, I fear, mothd hardly have been made, if lie had been a witness to the furious cliVis'ams of ibe present moment; but why then must. an age, which boastrso much of 'being polished and enlightened, ,want that gene-' rosity, that discretion, and that temper, which, even in the eyes of asforeigner, distinguished and . tlignified .ode ancestors A moderate man cannot but lament those addresses and : counter-addreurs,which threaten a general tumult, as they' create disunion and enmity among tbe,inhabitantsof almost,. ' e very county, and town, and village, intime kingdom. "The slightest reflection must convi - oce its of the'evil and tine mad , ness of such conduct. Let us take a single instance. Let us Astronomy is,• of all the' Sciences the humar intellect has brought forth, the most'sublithe it its pursuits, and one'of *the most useful in its ap plication. The object is the starry firmament an object magnificent in itself, the contemplation and study of which must expand the mind, and elevate it to the throne of Omnipotent Wisdom. It embi'aces 'the:utmost limits of space ; and, aid ed by Mathematics,' it explains the vast and com plicated motions of the celestial spheres, and brings, as it were, the immensity of the Universe, within the narrow compasS of the human mind. By unfolding to our view a 'series. of stupendous, effects, produced by a cause as simple in its na ture, -as it is varied in its operations, it,gradually raises our hearts from " Nature to Nature's God," from the wonders of creation, to some faint idea of its incomprehensible. Creator. Well, indeed, might the Royal Prophet exclaim, in the enthu siasm which the splendour of the starry:firma ment cannot fail to awaken in every feeling heart, " the Heavens declare the glory of the Lord." "Nature," says the eloquent Buffon, " is the external throne of Divine. Majesty. , The man who- studies, who contemplates it, rises by de grees to the internal throne of Omnipotence." Gifted with sensibility and intelligence, man seems, indeed, formed for the contemplation of Nature : but, though this delightful pursuit warms his heart, and amuses and interests the mind, it cannot prodube within us the same ele vated sentiments, the same sublimity of ideas, which are produced by the study of the heavens. Amidst the manifold wonders of Creation,hone indeed, more eloquently proclaim the existence of a Great First Cause, than the innumerable Suns and SysteMs which are scattered throughout the immensity of space. In the Wide field, which is here unfolded to the feeling and reflecting man, wherever he turns, whatever becomes the object of his attention, he every . , where discovers the greatest possible order, united to the greatest possible harmony. •PlaCed, as it Were, in the centre of the Universe, and endowed with judg ment and sensibility, he .casts' an inquiring glance around him ; lie surveys and admires. Amidst the solemn silence of - slumbering nature, he gazes upon the glory of the starry firmament, with mingled, sentiments of admiration and ay.e. In the innumerable and glitte . ring specks with which the vaulted Heavens are decked, he sees vast In mineus bodies, placed at incalculable distances from . the earth, which dispense light and heat, and fertility and life to millions of planets, inha bited, 'prebably, by myriads of beings .no less capable.than himself to discover and admire the infinite perfections •of their Author, in the most magnificent, and the most stupendous of hisworks. .In the midstof a scene So vast, this earth, nay-the whole Solar System, seem but a point in space,.and man, only an imperceptible atom in the Universe. If this reflection wound-his. noble pride, he soon derives consolation frem the amazing poWers of his mind, which prove him to hold no contempti ble rank, even in the vast scale of Creation. -• As tronomy may, indeed, be justly 'considered as the standard of the human intellect, and as the 'prac tical illustration of the singular elevation it is ca pable of attaining.
