" The remaining part of our history, however, will nut hang 'you hand vs. long, for, now that this road has been opened, matters go on in more reenlar course, and objects will catch our eye rapidly, as we journey on. " There. is one evil, however, superadded to all the other evils of revolution:, which is ever most mischievous, and that is, the tracheal tendency to t kin Iron ) on e extreme into another !—So tired were the People of England with liberty, which they found its the Republican vocabulary to signify pains, penalties, blood, and plunder, that, when they were really free, they seemed disposed to surrender _their real liberties up at The foot of the thrime.—The fact 'is, the' balance of which I so Often speak to you was so completely broken and destroyed, that. it required not only wisdom, hut time, to establish it in any degree +! The lessons of past experience were of too grave a nature for a People who had jost'escaped from the gloom of Republicanism and hypocritical cant ! They had proclaimed a holiday, and would have thrown tights and liberty, and money-bags, into the same bonfire that consumed the rump of the reformed Parliament ! All this, I repeat, was mischievous. It laid the , toundution of finute-eitficiihi., and became the cause of fresh distisrbalicea—The Ring, bred in toreigo Courts, was naturally gay and ihoughtless ; and met the good humour of the. people with coirespondina sensations of gaiety - and moriment !--Popular 6oVernitient was. out of fashion ; and the old English- pr.nciples were i cil t midway between the at bitracy notions -of French policy and the bitter effects , of the late popular excesses The eood seine and firmness- ot a n e w l'arliameot, however, stood - in the gap ; and although they rejected all that. Was- pernicious and h a d, tilyyendeavonred to retain so munch of the popular sentiment as to give to their proceed ing' an entire new 'character, as far as respected Tice councils of the country.—They passed laws to prevent the return of • the tniSehiuvons revolu tionists to power, by imposing certisin oaths and tests (which it has br ett the fashion, of late, to call intolerant and cruel); upon all who in future shuttld bold offices of trust or ensoloment under tinvernmeut, upon the just principle that those only who are attached to the Government will faithfully serve it.—They had found by experi ence, that. the Church and State are so insepar ably united, that the overibrow of the one was sure to,ineolve the destruction of the other ; they iberefore excluded Dissenters ; that is, those men who Woold not Swear to support the whole Con stittition, whether Puritans saints t,r 'UMW!

'king Charles was so displeased, however, with ibse Parliatisent, for urging these strong mea sures hgainst the Papists and Piisenters, for the reatonS already stated, that tie would not for a lengell of thoe'call it together j7—and this was his utititiest . ioned prerogative at . the time, for it WAS only attpulated, by the most constitutional and powerful 'Muse of COMIDOnS that had ever hitherto existed; ttat i ' Parliaments should not he ioter rupted above three years at the Most.' (P.. 395.) " ThoS 'AiscontentS arose, mid the evils of civil' discord again threatened the peace of this:unhappy country.-.4lere both parties *.vere in the wrong - : the King for wishing to grant power to the Roman Catholics, who had always abused it . ; the House of Cottimons for desiring to oersecute them—and for resorting' to sham plots : and for en couraging treacherous and lying spies and informers . to make opt their charges—The historiafi, tells us,' that Tumultuous petitioning . waS one of the chief artifices by which the inaleOnteuts (the • Sainted Rebels who 'overthrew the ConstitutiOn,, and noirdered their King), in the lasr reign, had attacked the Crown ; and though the t prittner of subset 044; ailed delivering Petitions' veNS • now' somewhat regidated by act of' Parli•ame:ot,.' the thing ftself remained, and teas an admirable . ex pedient for infesting the Court, for spreading dis content, and for unitiogthe nation in any popular clamour.'

Abhorrors , but in a short time the friends of .the Court were nicknamed, by their opponents, Imies, - because rbete was a Popish baoditti its Ireland so called ; whilst they, in return - , gave the title of Whigs to the opposition, because their principles were of a similar character with the Scotch covenantee so called, who were still play ing the game of the English Patriots and Puritans in the reign of Charles 1. ; ' and after this man ner, Ocse foolish terms of repoach,' says the ' came into public and general use, and even at present seem not nearer their end than when they were, first invented.' (P.

But you; have lately heard a good deal about ultrx wbiggism, a new term to express an old piinci ;de ; and what, tl,,ink ye, is that old principle ? Nothing, More or less, my good fricmjs, than the " Gorid old cause," which laid the axe to the root of all our establishments in Church and State, whirls overturned the Constitution, su b verte d t h e Monarchy, cut off two of the three Estates of the Commonwealth, and left the poor, wretched, deluded, People of England, at the net cy o f R e .. formers, Rebels, Protectors, and Military Tribu nal's; a ti cause which deluged thy country vvith blid, gave it up to the pillage Of soldiers who preached and plundered in the same breath, and left no inan the liberty to claim his right, nor utealWiti defend his person': This is ultra-tdlig gisin, or-that principlewhich the mercenary trail ers in the lives and properties .of their tellow coonti•ymen are for eter bringiog forward for your adoption, obeli they find a slack trade or a bail harvest has UMW to sour your natural disposi lion. llnt again, I say, beware of them; `'They are Wolves i n s h eeps ' c l ot hi ng ;' ra v ell i ng wolves, who have no prey but what your cal eless folly may provide for them.

This was the Struggle to secure a balance, though not effected at -the time, paVed the way for it, and ,by it the establishment of the COnstitn rion in that glorious state in which We now enjoy it. This was a periOd of fever in our Contitution, as.l may call it. It was life or death, 'and skilful pliysicialis: were prepared to take advantage of every favourable turn !

" I have often told yott, and again: repeat it, th a t onr happy Constitution is the work of no One Man, or set of men ; it is' the work of time, 'aild the result of experience! that the defects of one period were .amended at another; that the excesses of one crisis were tempered by succeed ing events ; that the experience . of a partial evil was made the prevention against its return ; and that at length as our history advanced up to within a short period of the present times, the Constitu tion was so invigorated by exercise, and So con firmed by temperate habits, 115 to bid defiance to all the ills and diseases to which it. had hitherto been subject. This is the state of things as they are; modern quacks would inoculate' us afresh, and try the experiment of a new lever—not out ot any love for the patient, but that doting its paroxysmS and deliriuM, they might rifle and plun der the property of tl:tit suffering victim t• .
