,amagy anbanchised arm be se hostile to an ex-
Waded suffrage, and a transfer of seats, w is averred,
how magical must be the personal ascendancy of the
statesman who can maks the constituent sod reptte--
entities body of the nation steadily and calmly
deity itstet and follow him! This is no doubt a view
of the subject that has not occurred to hie lordship's
libellers. It presents, however, a somewhat startling
difficulty in the way of the aocoptaaos of their theory
of mere personal perrersenese. When they have
made up their minds ore to whether it can be met
consistently with the premises they lay down, we
shall be curious to have the explaaation.
A not less desperate but much more mischievous
delusion is that which our contemporary has long
laboured to create in the minds of the unthinking
with regard to the effect which an extended
tramline will have in modifying the character of
the representation of large towns. Confessedly
there is ne moss for apprehension respecting the
majority of the boroughs, which, even with the =-
tension of the suffrage now in contemplation, will
still be in the hands of the middle classes. It is
alleged, however, on no better ground than the
sightless and brainless testimony of a set of statistisal
returns, that in a few large cities the member of
electors will be doubled by a 61. franchise, while in
others it is =sorted that as addition of 70 or 80 per
cent. will be made to the present electoral roll. We
have looked into three figures with some care, and we
are sorry to be obliged to say that we do not see the
least cause for hoping for any such extension of
numbers as the organs sad advocatee of resistanee
to all popular enfranchisement would have the world
believe. No one at all conversant with such evidence
requires to be told how far short of the round num-
bers set forth in Parliamentary tables the actual
results habitually prove. A statistical return takes no
eoguizance of the numerous accidents, fatalities, and
shortcomings which lessen the aggregate show at the
foot of a tabular return. Casualties affecting health
and peconiary means an certainly not less numerous
among the humbler cleans of society than those of
more affluent fortune, and we all know how largely
they enter iato the calculations of those who have to
count now the most respectable and aquiline. But
there is something more to be said about deductions
from grow-estimated numbers. No one conversant
with the working of electoral systems ever thinks of
taking what is called an average of numerical
strength. Practically there is no etch thing. The
great waves of popular feeling which are stirred from
the depths and menace for a moment the heights of
social preference and power come at rare intervals,
and usually, if not invariably, during or nib-
s/quint to periods of preen= and privation. But
these are just the periods when tiomeitions a demi.
rile are frequent, and rates and taxes are notoriously
left is arrow. It is just at the moment, therefore,
when popular suspicion is likely to be aroused, and
popular passion at its height, that the largest defalca-
tion is sure to be found in the array of popular
strength; and the history of all subversive changes
in old countries proves that it is not by sudden or
spasmodic efforts in seasons of suffering or distress
that material modifications are usually wrought in
the established institutions of the country. On the
other hand, we know by long experience that in the
normal state of weisty in this senntry the waves, as
they are called, are bat too easily infloenced by what
Lord Bacon terms " flags and pedigree," that no
by flashy pretensions and old names. Bo Wog as
wages are good and regularly paid, it will, we fesr,
be wily ow =ay for an ariAtaeratio ii.fluenee and
the power of the purse to retain more than their
just predominance at popular *notions. But
were it otherwise in mows score or two of
our manufacturing towns, what would the change
mama to ? Instead of Mr. BRIGIIT and
Mr. itoasvcx, we should perhaps bay, men
mere gives to bid for the popular suffrage by
promisee of the impassible. What real or sup-
posed harm would it do the community at large
if the vain vaantioge of such men were from
time to time exposed by their failure in the chapel
of St. Stephen? So long as unrepresented clasies
of vast numerical importance are denied • voice in
the selection of Members of Parliament, their leaders
readily mske them believe that it is fear of their
=gent logic which keeps them outside the door, and
that if they were oats admitted all would soon be
changed. Nothing is mere certain, however, than
that discomfiture sad dielliohantaimat of a salutary
kind have always attended sad will always attend the
admission of demagogue pietism's,* to an arena like
that of Parliament ; and In the interest of Conser-
vatism itself =thing ought to be hailed with more
well-founded satiefaction than the chines of • !sand-
hi of "unlimited" politicians Boding their way into
the House of Commas.
