'Ere for fire yeirs Pnt their patience, their teMPets, and-their itclinati.:ms, to it test which cannot deceive me; and although It licort , :etle true that they do not possess the requisites to lead the nietienal mind into new and nntried, but absolutely necessary. i t aprO - vement—for. this the'', leave to others; yet it is my belief that many .4 them are sincerely willing and de sirous to go with and accompany the public in that course wheneier the public shall he duly p-epared and provided for the jonrney. They are tow as conscious as any other class in society. that the way in Which they find themselves fast ad- Alleitte is the big' , road to rontirs , on and misvm And here, as am 146LiOos that not one of my motives' horthi be misunderstmill, it is necessary to say, that when in a preceding pUblication I stated that it would be mote just for The Secretary of :t.ite for the Herne DeOitttmen't to be &tilde-ironed and iii Newgate, rather than the poor bey of 16 years of age, who trout his birth had been neglected by society; although this statement was then as it i. oo'w, the, genuine expression of my feelings and judgment, yet it was not in any degree intended to wound the feelings of my Lord :Sidinnoth. Some part of the ptiblic, it .seems, has supposed othetwise, although his Lordship coal I not mistake mytnean ing. I have received numberless marks of kindness and at tention from him ; I have at this moment a lively impression of the urbanity of his manners and it is but justice to him to say, that he readily gave his assistance to Mrs. Fry, to ena ble her to proteed with her good work among the female pri soners in Newgate. Still, however, the Secretary of State for the Home Department is ptirsoing, and for some time to come I fear must pursto a eonrse which creates in its co,sequen ces nitre cruelty and injustice than may be obvious to him and many others; and, therefore, notwithitanding I feel a 'real regard for the individual, must oppose, with all my Powers. the errors of the system under which he acts; and! hope - the time is not , far distant, when be also will lend his utmost Ministerial aid to introduce a better.. Of - the existing systems I trust it is unnecessary for me now to say more, than that I consider them wretched indeed but, had as they are, they must be protected Until a better shall be actually in practice. We will now view man under the new ciictunstances in which he is abort to be plaeq. In the new, as under the old, lie will be horn in ignorance. He will be trained front earliest infancy to acqiire only Vinci and 'benevolent dispositicins. • He will be taught facts only. These will enable him very early in life to understand clearly how his own character and the character of his. fellow creatures have been formed and are forming. He will thus be secured from hiing enveloped by any ofthe ei , il and demoralizing atmospheres with which. every man yet born has been surrounded. circumstances will exis , to compel him to acquire feel ing; of disunion and separation from any other human bem. On the cowl:try, his heart will be open to receive, and his Land ready to assist, each of his fellow creatures, whatever may he his sect, his class, his party, his country, or his colour. Anger, hatred, and revenge will have no place on which to rest ; the pabulum oh which all the evil passions fed will no longer exist ; unity and mutual co-operation to any extent Still b,ecome'easy of execution, and the common practice of all. Men will soon read their past history, only to retain - a re- Nemlirance of the errors and inconsistencies from whence they rmerged, and to compare. the happiness around them witk the misery of hauler tint**. Look now at the drawing exhibited, and compare the scenes it but faintly represents with the situation of .the ex- Wing poor and . working sclasses in the manufacturing towns ; and vet the extrence and trooh!r of the latter are tenfold those of the one represented.
