governor of this country (one of them : there Is • very

history of this country. If, in the reign of Charles I ,

N Victoria is is a totally daunt thing. We have not the
Pres and we lave met the Hampden': but I am proud
to my that we have Lard Carlisle. (Cheers.) And why
am I proud to say it? Why, that the spirit of the time is
such that it does not come from the streusel downwards
—it does not come from the great sad of • man like
Hampden or Pre to inspire bb followers with the great

brings the noble lord amongst as: and that is the great
feeling of the present time; and I take en institution like

every man may drive a gig without knowing anything about
it previously, I eat told; but I sa quite sure he cannot get
knowledge by any such promo. There is no " royal road "
to legislative say more than mathematical sties* ; and I am
rate sus that if the people of England eliminate out of
their curriculum of knowledge all consideration of moral,
and religiose sabres, they will be en ignorant peo-
ple to the end cf time. Well, if that be the ease, bear with
me when I my why paw* you admit it as • matter of science

won't call it polities; I will call it, if you please, any tame

importance, and what is more it is °imperatively

every per iris iis that sinit ; and you can rodeosit to its
