TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD
REFORM ASSOCIATION.
(CONTINUED ON MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS.)
Sir,—On Monday the 3d, the Secretary for the Colo-
nies moved to bring in a Bill to grant a Representative.
Constitution to the colony of New Zealand. The Tories
are evidently bent on taking the wind out of the sails of
the Whigs, wherever they are able; and the present
afforded a brilliant instance of their taint* to that re-
speCt. It is quite true, that they Comte nearly all the
features of the Bill sketched in by their predecessors;
but the style of handling was what they had the genius
to make their own. Instead of a snarling, grumbling
kind of process, having the air of looking about for re-
cusants for the sake of a wholesome stiyriag of their
bile, they contrived that all should go smoothly as a
wedding-bell. If there were disputable cinestions of de-
tail, they produced them as such, with prufessions which
could hardly be insincere, of their readiness to submit
them to amicable discussion. On the grant point of all,
in comparison of which questions of First Chambers
and Second Chambers sink back into the pigeon-holes
they were taken from, they spoke like men who knew
that fortune had thrown into their bands the task of lay-
ing the foundation, of what may honestly town out to be
a world supremacy. If there be one fbing especially
revolting to the man who has studied his conntry's his-
tory and mankind's, it is to hear a snobbish" and
furacious individual, prating about " the Anglo-Saxon
race;" when the known fact is that the country in
whic he speaks, is to a greater extent than any other
in the universe, an agglomeration of all races and all
divisions of the one blood of which were made the na-
tions of the earth. The Whigs have let the Tories
match from them the grand experiment of amalga-
mating a race at the Antipodes into supporters of the
British Crown, and thus striking into the principle
which alone will enable us in the next century to hold
our own against the offspring of our negro-drivers. Con-
sult Defoe, and see how many bloods went to the com-
position of the " true-born Englishman." Why should
not a dozen more be added to the list, bringing each the
dowry of a province, or some a quarter of the globe?
Can any man tell, for instance, why India, or Africa, or
the Antilles, should not, by something like the contrary
of policies hitherto pursued, be studded over with popu-
lations of swarthy Englishmen, born to the climate, and
boasting, like the Jew of Tarsus, of being citizens of
no mean city, under a wider than Roman rule? Of a
surety, if there be truth in theology, the Romans will
one day stand up with the Queen of the South, and de-
mand of our whole string of Colonial Secretaries to
show whether they have come up to the Roman mark,
and given to races at the world's extremes the same fair
play that was given to our rugged ancestors. One single
thing bars the vast prospect open to a true statesman's
view;—the brutish instinct of race the vulgar man
shares with the rat miscalled of Norway, prompting him
to see in all who differ from him by a shade of colour or
a cast of fur, objects for blood-sucking instead of ma-
terials for a country's political and commercial great-
ness. The AmeriCans have deeply sworn, within the
life of man, which is threescore years and ten, to place
an American army behind the Horse Guards, and haul
down the " flaunting bunting" on Windsor Castle; and
they will do it too, unless " Amalgamation" can beat
" Non-Amalgamation" in the race. It is easy talking
about the friendly disposition of the Americans; but
this is what is in their popular mind. America
means to "annex" you; and if something is not
done, she will. It must have been highly amus-
ing to Transatlantic slave-breeders, to see the zeal
with which John Bull on his late alarm from France,
exclaimed " America will help us." If she helps
you, it will be as the feeder helps the swine, to
make bacon of the whole hog afterwards. It is not im-
possible, that the scene which Heaven's scene-shifters
are now raising before the audience of the world, is a
struggle between the old and new English, to settle
whether the more backward races of the earth aro to be
raised by the agency of the first, or trained on by the
other. It is difficult to say what the etpoettilou of ex-
istence of a Colonial Secretary may be; bit the man
may write " Vixi," who has had the ippcittunity of lay-
ing his hand on so magnificent a cataks.
The Bill was ordered to be brought is, with a una-
nimity and general applause which have been rarely
witnessed. It is great pity but k heal been brought
in and carried through by somebody else. But what is
to be done, when men have not the gift of what artists
call "getting things out of band?"
