LONDON. MONDAY.OOTOBER 2.
by the abesuse of any representatives of whig or
goverment epsilon in the daily press—a phenomenon
In itself efaisiently indiaitive of the character and
position of the party—one naturally turns with more
eagerness to the old quarterly organ of aristocratic
liberalism. Nor does the present number of the
Edinburgh Review disappoint; it treats at large
and seriously the great question of reform.
To be sure, it adopts lordly and tory
tactics in one respect, which is in singling
oat the champions of most extreme sad de-
mocratic change, and discussing their demands rather
than the recommendations of more moderate men.
The reviewer affects to see nothing between the stoats
quo and chsrtism. It ignores COBDEN and Hums,
and rushes at once to try conclusions with Mr.
Flamm Moulton. We can pardon the superci-
lious's" of this, but not the bad policy.
The question before the country at present is not uni-
versal slates but extension tithe suffrage. The re-
eiswerpreini dimming the former,and enumerates, we
cannot bet think, very puerile and very captious objec-
tions. Wbat do we now see going on in Europe?
We Witold a complete destruction in one country,
and a gnat impairing in almost all the rest, of the
great principle of sovereignty. Loyalty no longer
'Asti, respect for prows or dynasty is obliterated. We
join in the regret for its sudden obliteration. Repeal
or reamistitute this principle, damaged as it has been
by its identity with the most stupid tyranny, the most
pasillanimonscondeat,the most mean and selfish policy,
you cannot. The principle of hereditary right
is weak and . And there is but one other on
which the chief or or a government can stand,
that is, popular choice, in other words, universal suf-
frage. Universal suffrage is at this moment the sole anchor
yralhsich society and government can hold throughout
and Germany. It may be inconvenient, it
may be rude, it may be headlong ; but it is the sole
ecaserrative principle of political society, when the
am principle is weakened or destroyed.
It is the use that cannot be questioned, and that
ustil
tie smut and uninformed sense must acquiesce
in. let DO rinaire in his pertness abuse universal
:dilfor it is the only principle and guard which
i'
moment preserves half of Europe and all
Amities been a fathomless abyss of anarchy and utter
&Mum
Yet we do not recommend universal suffrage
