THE CORN LAWS.

Mut of minds equally honourable, and perhaps
enlightened, may vet be found to /lifter very
widely in their views of the same subject. This may
possibly be the case 11p011 the present occasion aniongst

we trust they will be also kind enough to reoienibt r
that iosestigation is the best and only way of anteing at

and nil! last does it appear to he justifiable when so
man,: of those n ho are most competent io decide . such
a question, and whose patriothin cannot be doubted,
