. instance the eacts- of public opiniOn upon
political affairs; would be btit to retrace the whole
history of -our • own -times. I might rcniind
readers how; by slow. but certain'stepe, it effected
the abolition of the slave-trade; how, from time
to time, it has crushed or created the fortunes c'f
successive administrations ; how it cliMbed, even
to the. foot of the throne itself, and displaced the
son ofthe sovereign from the command of an army
who idolized him, until, .by one of those revolu
tions to which it is so prone, it, converted its
disapprobation into regret, and reedlled- him to
the service of his country with ten-told popularity
and ptaiSe. Above all, 1 might advert to the
Iccent• and mighty ,alarum, which in three clays
confederated half the British empire for the de-
fence of their religious immunities, and, by a
peaceful victory, perpetudtcd the triumph of to-
leration. • - •

1 will say nothing of the recent concession
to the popular feeling, •on the subject of the,
Orders in Council. Nay,- I will say nothing
about the daily inc►:ease of the advocates fOr the
CathqliC claiMs. I forbear' to prolong the list
oi similar topics,, because these and 'innume-
Table Other instances in «'i►ich public opinion
has exercised its despotism,:sonietimes advantage,
ously and sometimes injuriously, must already
have crowded upon every one's remembrance;
and superseded the necessity of any further re-.
capitulations.

I do not mean, by all this, to insinuate any
. jealousy or regret at the advances of the multitude
inpolitical.knoWledge : on'the contrary, I believe
the good sense and information of the. people to
• -he the best security of government. Bat there is'
- an early period: of knowledge,- more dangerous
while it lasts, than even ignorance itself ; a-twi-
light of the mind, when all objects are falsely, or
at least imperfectly„discerned. Thepresent hour.
seems to the to be of this dim complexion. A'
clearer. dawn will come ; but, meanwhile, the
people are in the most inconvenient of all possible
ipreditaments ; with too much light to let theme
aleep on _quietly, yet not enough to guide them
along their road securely. •
, • 11. In the next place, I mint touch upOti the
vast increase, which modern times have effected,'
in the importance of the nobility. It, is a fact,Of
which every Irian may ascertain the truth, that;
during the reign of his present Majesty alone, the
peerage has been very nearly doubled. laM quite •
prepared to find it objected, here, `-` that this in-
crease in the number of the peers, so far front •
augmenting the power- of the nobility against the--
Crown, augments the power of the crown oven
the nobility, because the newly created pees are
naturally attached to him who has thus elevated
them." Butl answer, that- this argument applies
only to the persons first created.; because their
,sons and grands Ons ,succeed -to the titles, not by
tfavOur, but by right. Now it happens, of n-eces-
sity,
that the persems who have acquired their
titles, by this right af descent, and not by the fai
a-our of the Crown, compose, at all seasons, a very
large majority-Of the whole Horise. It is so, evert
in the preSent reign ; for that unusual length of
time; which has given the Crown :nu opportunity
of attaching so many adherents with peerages, has
also given room for death to sweep: away the
greater number of those very adherents. Orer
the large majority, therefore, of the tipper House,
the Sthereigh can scarcely preserve any efficient-
influence, unless he continues-to-confer new boons
npon each new-generation. Btit, if the existing
patronage were r4cluced., the CroWn would have
scarcely. any. of,theSe : boons. in -its- gift e the -body
of the Nobles, in the natural course. of. things,
would then inelihe against the Crowh and Com--
mons;to the' aggrandisement of their own order; -
and- this aggrandisetuent being. obviously facili-
tated by their increased numbers, the proportion
of the royal and deniocratical powee, to that of
the aristocracy, would suffer a speedy- diminution.
Now this, most certainly, can-never be the object
of the popular leaders, -if they are sincere in their -
unceasing (remands for "' a cons titutional ea ui--
poiSe of the three estates." It will be of no. avail •
to say, that the evil consists in the increase of the
peerage.: The elevation. of • Commoners. to the
aristocracy is
,ona of thenatryral effects resulting
from the augmented importance -of the people ;
and the people's friends-should he proud to behold
it. Besides,-.to lirhit the.. Sovereign in the creaa
tiou of hereditary peers; would be to rob. him of
one of those prerogatives which have been' en-,
trusted to him, whether. wisely or unwisely, by tfie
Constitution itself.. The reasoners, tirerefore,who •
profess their object to _h the lit- rat maintenence
of that Constithtion, by the re-estahnshment of
constitutional prerogative to the exclusion of ia-
fluence, are stopped from this kind of argument ;
and, except them, Ik,h,ow oinove who have even
a theory to bear them out in then declamations
against-the existing system. .Nor do !'think-it any
objection to -my- reasonings, that they. proceed
irpon..what is called an 4mfavouraWe view of ha- -
Man nature ; that is to say, that they presunie, ha_
the an inclination- to- aggrandize their
own branch Of the legislature, at the expense of- -
the others. There is, a strong and habitual pro-
pensity in all mankind, " to attempt fte bettera
ing of their own conditiOn ;" and When we spe-
culate upon the actions of numerous bodies, we
can adopt-no other principle of calculation.. Nay,
it is the principle of the Constitution itself; for
why did our ancestors provide every one of the'
tlaree estates- with- a force ss, nicely adapted to
-
