SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOITRNALS.

Torus.—A curious declaration of Frederick Prince
of Wales is preserved in " Smollett's History of Eng-
land," whereby his Royal Highness engages, in the
event of his coming to the Throne, " totally to
abolish any distinction for the future of parties." As
Providence had decreed that he should not survive
his father, this remarkable experiment was never
tried during the last century, and it has been reserved
for our own generation to witness what an economist
would call a "stationary state" of party politics. It
is not that parties no longer exist, or that England
" loves coalitions" any better than heretofore, but
that the one party had been compelled, for the pre-
sent, to adopt almost entire the creed of the other.
The difference between them consists mainly in this
that the one foresees more or less distinctly, while
the other studiously ignores,the coming problems of
the future. This difference, however, can hardly
show itself in Election Addresses, which are scru-
pulously confined to the questions which happen to
be uppermost for the time being. Scarcely a word
is to be found in any of those hitherto issued about
such topics as the codification of our law, or the re-
form of charitable endowments —topics of the
greatest importance in themselves, but for the pre-
sent dormant and unexisting. Even the abolition of
capital punishment, on which public opinion has
lately been very much excited, has not yet, we are
glad to observe, become a hustings question. The
hustings questions of the day, in fact, are not more
than about half a dozen in number. Church rates
and the extension of the franchise are the only real
chevaux de bataille, and even on these there is no
shibboleth or formula accepted by either party col-
lectively. The Conservative thinks it highly desirable
to settle the former controversy with due regard to
the rights of the Establishment; the Liberal thinks
the same, adding only that he believes the Church
would be strengthened by an opportune concession.
The Conservative is fully prepared for a well-consi-
dered measure of reform designed to admit the most
intelligent of the working classes, while he protests
against the despotism of numbers; the Liberal pro-
fesses confidence in the people, but even Mr. Glad-
stone advises him to qualify it by prudence, and he
evinces no practical intention of going much further
than the Conservative. Such, at least, is the im-
pression which we derive from the perusal of the
Election Addresses hitherto, and if it were trust-
worthy the benevolent resolutions of Prince Frede-
rick would appear to be almost realised. The les-
sons of history, however, forbid us to anticipate the
extinction of party spirit, and justice compels us to
attribute its temporary suspension in great degree
to the moderate and successful policy of the present
Government. Perhaps the most controversial ad-
dress that has yet been published is that of Mr.
Goschen, who, with Baron Rothschild and Mr.
Crawford, solicits re-election for the City of Lon-
don. Baron Rothschild and Mr. Crawford do not
spare the Opposition, but Mr. Goschen handles
them with much greater severity. During the last
two years, he says, " the country has been divided
less on questions of principle. The best measures
brought forward by the present Government, or
from the Liberal side,have been opposed by the Con-
servatives, not, indeed, from any factious desire to
overthrow the Ministry, but from a deep-seated
difference of spirit and view, which Conservatives
often disguise in their Election Addresses, but almost
invariably display in their Parliamentary Votes."-
He then reviews the home and foreign policy of the
Opposition, andinveighs against the inconsistency of
obstructing every reform successively, and the accept-
ing it with perfect self-complacency. Altogether
this address contrasts rather curiously with the
studied mildness of those put forth by Messrs. Lyall
and Fowler, the two Conservative candidates for the
representation of the City. Two very outspoken
professions of a Liberal faith are to be found in Mr.
Morrison's address to the electors of Plymouth, and
Mr. Brassey's speech to the electors of Devonport.
This constituency, owing to the course taken by Mr.
B. Osborne, is invested with a kind of " prerogative
vote," which will not be without effect on the result
of the forthcoming election. Mr. Brassey is fortunate
enough to combine with other qualifications one of
which he makes no secret, and which is a sure pass-
port to the favour of a borough accustomed to pat-
ronage. " By the accident of his birth he happened
to be intimately associated with those who were en-
gaged in great and important works in this and
other countries, and this connexion might, he trusted,
enable him to render great and valuable services to
the electors of Devonport." It is unlucky for him
that his opponent, Mr. Fleming, is able to boast of
a similar claim on their esteem • but Mr. Brassey
does not stop here, and justifies his motives for
coming forward in a way which does him honour.
" No young man," he. says, " could have a more
splendid opportunity than he of engaging in com-
mercial pursuits, and he paused gravely to consider
whether he should adopt a line of business before
him, or endeavour to become a useful and indepen-
dent citizen by representing an English constituency
in Parliament. He chose the latter course from a
desire to serve his country as a useful citizen, and as
Providence had been so gracious as to place it in his
power at a comparatively early age, and when he had
time before him to make a study of statesmanship,
it was his duty to waive personal interests and adopt
that line which Providence, if he might humbly say
so, had been pleased to put before him." This
language argues no little self-reliance, and it will
be for Mr. Brassey, if elected, to show that he has
not mistaken his vocation. In the meantime, we
are willing to give him credit for sincerity, and to
welcome him as a hopeful recruit into the Liberal
ranks. There are very few young men in the same
position who can say as much with any approach to
sincerity. The sons of great capitalists seldom display
any Parliamentary ambition, and there is no part of
England where good candidates are so scarce as where
large fortunes are most rapidly made. In the great
boroughs of the North the choice too often lies be-
tween some resident manufacturer of mature age
and a stranger despatched from London to fill a
gap. The young mill-owning aristocracy indulge
very different aspirations, and see no particular
advantage in toiling gratuitously for the public ser-
vice. Comparatively few of them have enjoyed the
benefit of a University education or felt the stimu-
lating breezes of intellectual rivalry. The conse-
quence is that the House of Commons draws its
young blood chiefly from that class which is least
acquainted with business and most addicted to
" country pursuits." Elderly men who have made
their money and heirs apparent to peerages furnish
too large a proportion of its members, for neither
have an adequate incentive to sustain exertion.
Messrs. Morrison and Brassey are exceptional in-
stances, and represent a section of our youth which
will form a new element in Parliament. It is to be
feared that the metropolitan boroughs will do little
this year to repel the charge of returning political
nonentities. We observe that Mr. Mill's Committee
have felt the necessity of making common cause
with Captain Grosvenor against the redoubtable Mr.
Smith. This, no doubt, is good strategy ; but it
seems to imply that the publisher is gaining upon
the author in the estimation of Westminster elec-
tors. Finsbury has been " open" until very lately,
if it is not open still ; but the Islington wire-pullers
think they have discovered the coming man in Mr.
Torrens. He was duly heralded by a resolution,
" That the great and varied interests of a metropo-
litan constituency peculiarly require that its repre-
sentatives should be men of tried ability and known
experience in public life." Thereupon Mr. Torrens
addressed the meeting, pledging himself to vote,
" not only for household suffrage, but for anything
better that might be proposed." Skilfully taking
advantage of the Duke of Wellington's manly
letter, encouraging all his tenants to vote
according to their conscience, he actually em-
ployed it as an argument, not against, but for
the ballot, holding that remedy to be neces-
sary " until all gentlemen of position " did the
same. He was also for the ultimate abolition of
the income tax, a sentiment which appears to have
been received with loud applause by the Finsbury
taxpayers. We believe they are perfectly right in
preferring Mr. Torrens to his competitors as the col-
league of Mr. Cox, but there seems to be some radical
source of mismanagement in the conduct of metro-
politan elections, which we suspect may be traced to
the entire want of municipal pride. A city or town,
however corrupt, is a real thing ; it has an indivi-
duality of its own, and is bound together by com-
mon interests, perhaps by historical associations.
Finsbury and Marylebone are mere electoral dis-
triCts, and the consequence is a fatal weakness for
the purposes of representation.
POST.—On. Monday night Mr. Cardwell laid
before Parliament the papers explanatory of the
arrangements which have recently been concluded
between her Majesty's Government and Canada
with regard to the future relations of that province,
and we may say of British North America, with the
mother country. We trust the public will be satis-
fied with the manner in which so important and
difficult a question has been solved. With reference
to the confederation of the provinces, we have
always looked upon their eventual union as a matter
of time, and we believe that the result of the late
conferences will very materially aid in bringing
about the accomplishment of that project on an early
day. It would be an injustice to our fellow subjects
in the several colonies of British North America to
believe that they are incapable of appreciating the
advantages which must flow from their union under
one strong central Government, or that they are
really unwilling to sacrifice mere local interests for
the common good. The principles upon which .the
proposed consolidation of the colonies is based appear
to every disinterested person well calculated not only
to do justice to all, but to secure for the whole of
British North America a prosperous and brilliant
future. The question of the proposed defences for

Canada no doubt presented an aspect of difficulty, and
without the intervention of a conference between
the colonial deputies and the Imperial Govern-
ment much misunderstanding could not fail toexist. It is satisfactory to know that a mutual
understanding has now been arrived at, and that
the larger question of a comprehensive scheme for
the future defence of all British North Amerieaß!
The
debates arranged between the two Governments. "
debates in Parliament on this subject seem to 111
had a depressing effect upon the loyal sentiments
the people of Canada, especially in the western p3'_;
of the province. This arose simply from the fact'
that they could not understand the principles 1113°.°
which our Government proposed to confine their
share of the defensive works to Quebec and go,111;
treal. They claimed in their character of Britt%
subjects their right to be protected with all the
to forc.a
of the empire if necessary, and were willing al t
with their means and lives to the utmost. But tha
it should seem to be the policy of the Imperial Gl3"
vernment to defend Quebec and Montreal Imperial
could be to them no cause of satisfaction. 'Mein
fears on this account, however, have since been
allayed, and they now have reason to believe that lb'
is the deep-seated feeling of the English people th.s_v
not one inch of Canadian soil should be lost to t",
empire. The question is certainly one of nationl
as well as of provincial importance, and it is ban
just that the expense should be fairly shared betwee,„
the colony and the mother country. It might
urged, indeed, by the colonists—inasmuch as EnS,
land cannot provide the requisite garrisons for suc
extensive fortifications as those proposed, and thauo
Canada must be at the charge of keeping 1W a
efficient militia for this object—that a larger propor'
tion of the cost should be borne by the Imperial Go;
vernment. The arrangement, however, now cod,
to on the subject appears likely to give general satin
faction. The Canadians will no doubt gladly 11,11;
dertake the defences of Western Canada, with to
understanding that England provides the necessaq
armament in addition to fortifying the whole
the
Lower Canada. Should the province obtain tll
Imperial guarantee for a loan, the proposed jfortifi-
cations will no doubt be immediately comment'
both in Upper and Lower Canada. The adval,,,,-
tages to the colony will be immediate as well
permanent in their nature. All the money I'B,l,
quired for carrying out the defensive scheme will u"
expended in the province, and it is of consequel
that the works should be begun simultaneously.,
all the vital points along the frontier, and carry
to completion without any intermission. This
would require a large body of labourers, and elc
' rate as a direct stimulus to immigration,
above all things, is the great desideratum in
North America. When the defences shall have been
completed, the militia and volunteer foices sufa,,
ciently trained, and the extensive frontier as wouoa,
the important centres of commerce so thorougiff
guarded as to prevent an enemy from permanen"
occupying any portion of the country, the adle;
tages which such a state of things would 00°:,i,
upon the province can hardly be exaggeratc"f
Secure against foreign aggression, a new era ~/
prosperity will dawn upon the colonies, capital vilP
flow into the country, and its varied and ineirhati;
tible resources become rapidly developed— in facx'
every material interest will be advanced to an the
tent hitherto unknown. The deepening of
ip
existing canals, and the reconstruction of a pg.,
canal somewhere in rear of the present settlemen,o
removed from the possibility of being seized 111°: t
by an enemy in case of war, will be a work of gr act
commercial and military importance. With reap
to the Reciprocity Treaty, we trust that the eff°
tivl
of the Imperial and Canadian Governments
prove successful in restoring the former, on an, jo a
proved understanding between the colonies and the
United States. It is gratifying to observe, in
.0,
_
meantime, that the trading community of Amer.f
and particularly the great producing states_livi
the West, are at this moment energetic'of
co-operating with the leading mercantile roet,cl
Canada in endeavouring to establish a fly
improved international commercial treaty. for
in July a convention is to be held at Detr°" ..ted
this object, for which the province has been in
1,
to send delegates. The Western States are ac,st
mined to have an unobstructed and the /I°a'tho
communication with the sea-board, in spite a ,0
monopolists in the great Atlantic cities, bY whnti
influence and exertions the Reciprocity Tre'iv
was abrogated. This they can only obtain
cc. t
way of the Lakes and through the St. Lawretell,.eat
The friendly relations now existing between "`.0,..
Britain and the United States, and the aekil°o
ledged benefits which reciprocity has conferredo
America and the British Provinces lead us to licTi
that this matter will, without difficUlty, and at,,
early day, be definitively arranged between the 1.00.
countries. The difficulties with regard to definl:o
the western boundary of Canada have not b%
found to be insuperable. It is in every way gr,b";
tifying to know that perhaps the finest part Of to
North American continent is likely before long a
be opened to British and Canadian enterprise, 3-to
that the claims of the Hudson's Bay Compaq re
the valuable agricultural part of that territory
in a fair way of being extinguished, to the tanti-,`,`
satisfaction of the company and the people oft k.llO
nada. In conclusion, we cannot but think tha,Ye..
people of this country will view with much satisro_
tion the results of the negotiations between tile 1
perial authorities and the Canadian delegate', „jii.
that the latter are well entitled to the hearty c"
mendations of their constituents.
