ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM.

Twet kindle, the ariitocraey need be under e
alarm. There is no revolatioaary plot hatching
against the permanence of the " order." The popu-
lar demand to have administrative employment
throws open to men who on neither ousel:ion nor
dependents of the aristocracy does not sins at the ex-
anion of the aristocracy from the executive govern-
ment. The people do not wish to see the aristo-
any superseded by men of the middle elan bat u-
ndated with them is the discharge of Acta duties.
TM people of England are attached to their mo-
narchical inatitutioos, and believe that an aristo-
cracy is indispensable to the maintenance of the
Throne. Bat they believe, also, that even a mo-
saechieal government is strengthened by a liberal
Wham of the popular element. They no that
the anxious nepotism of that aeration of the ariato-
away which devotes itself to politics as a profemion,
• be. almost succeeded in excluding plebeian competi-
tion. They trace to this emu the infirmity of pur-
- goes and imbecility of action which have characterised
ear Government throughout the Oriental struggle;
and therefore, u the first step to administrative
WOOS, they ask to have the aver of civil employ.
aunt thrown open to general competition.
It is no answer to theme complaints and demands
to tell us that Pitaamentary Reform, Municipal
Reform, the Emancipation of the Negroes, and the
Abolition of the Corn Laws, have been car-
ried by the inflame of the middle causes,
in despite of the strenuous ',fistulae of
• • majority of the aristocracy. That the middle
classes should have been able to carry these reforms,
allows their strength; that the strongest notion of
-the aristocracy should have opposed them, shows its
want of sound political knowledge, and its imperfect
motion of political justice. We have had good legis-
lative measures passed, becalms the voice of the.
middle dames (when they chows to exert them-
selves) is powerful in the Legislature; we have an
—imbecile administrative Government, beanie the
--middle classes are unrepresented in the executive
councils of the State.

We are told that popular or middle clam policy is
- left to be carried out by the aristocracy because " we
Britons have the weakness of loving a lord; and of
contemning our noble selves;" and we are expected to
except this as a sufficient reason why no change can
or ought to be attempted. We know that this
weakness is the cams of the evils complained of ; we
—know that the middle classes have themselves to
-blame that their "order" is utterly unrepresented in
the executive councils of the State ; and it is pre-
doely for this reason that we are labouring, in con-
cert with other earnest reformism, to awaken
- the middle classes to a moss of the injustice
-they are doing to themselves and the nation
at large. Their representatives are now admitted
-to the Legislators, and the consequence is that
-legislation has been greatly improved. Their
• mresentatives are still excluded from the executive
mato& of the State, and the oossequence is that the
conduct of these councils is characterieed by anything
-eathw than energy, wisdom, and honesty. Our ex-
clusively aristocratic administrations do wet " carry
-oat popular or middle-class' policy I" they sys-
tematically thwart and counteract while profaning
to anion:* it.
An attempt is imbed made to prove that middle-
clue stetsons' are an impossibility. To this end it
is alleged that "men of the middle class, and espe-
cially the most competent men of that clam,
do not greatly devote themselves to public or
Parliameatary life, just bemuse it is expen-
sive and absorbing, never profitable, and
often thankless. " Middle-class politicians do
-cot lad public Ws more "thankless" than aristocra-
tical politicises. Middle-class politicises, who have
earned the pablis gratitude by real and essential
services, generally fled that gratitude cling to them,
oven whoa they try it merely by their eccentricities.
As.to the expessiveneas of a political career, the
middle dames seed not shrink from it on this acemet
more than they do from the legal retook& No
mu will wisely devote himself to either, who has not
fresi some other moans mesas sufficient tamable him
to "bids his time," to wait for the coming in of bal-

the ebbs sass--the wealthier members of the aris-
tosrasy—who devote themselves earnestly to politics
ea a business ;it is the younger sow, the lack
&ads," who desire to earn the mesas of maintaining
themselves in the rank they were bore is. Lastly,
