monstrate the great truth, that wherever there is vio- '
lence and insecurity the utmost activity cannot insure
the prosperity of nations ; and that national strength
in the hour of need depends less upon a rapid in-
crease of the public resources than upon a prudent
and disinterested use of them. It is the disease
which manifests itself in the various forms of demo-
cratic revolution that has thrown out these sores ; and
the same disorder, if it be not checked, threatens the
body politic with dissolution. The time is, we trust,
arrived, at which a reaction in favour of more sober and
secure principles is gaining ground in other countries
besides our own, deriving from our own its best coun-
tenance and support. The world learns from these ex-
ternal symptoms that there is need of discipline to make
States wealthy and wise ; and that the boasted promises
of excessive liberty are only the false names given by
demagogues and dupes to presumption and prodigality.

Our view is totally different. It has been de-
monstrated by M. DE TOCQUEVILLE, amongst
others, that the tendency of society is every-
where, in Europe as well as in the United States,
to democracy. In fact that is the natural state
of society, for no class of men is created with
faculties and powers to govern and enslave other
classes. Dominion has always begun in vio-
lence and usurpation, which, from the natural
equality of mankind, there is a perpetual
tendency to shake off. • A few hundred years
ago, personal slavery—hardly yet extinguished
in some States—existed throughout Europe.
Most of our institutions are derived from that
condition of society, and to uphold them is the
great object of Conservatism. Though the pro-
gress of civilization and the extension of trade
have raised a numerous middle class in society,
and have in some sort emancipated the lower
classes, our institutions have not kept pace with
these changes in the condition of the people.
Between Conservatism, which seeks to uphold
the dead letter of the law without regard to the
living spirit of society, and the masses of the
community, there is a continual strife. The true
source, then, of the difficulties of the Govern-
ments of Europe is their unfortunate opinion
that they must resist and control the ten-
dencies of society. Those, we repeat, are to
freedom and democracy—the Governments of
Europe have sought to uphold slavery and aris-
tocracy.

We will take them in the order mentioned by
the Times. In Russia the Conservative cause
has undergone no depression. Despotism is, as
heretofore, unmitigated, save by the Sash,* which
performs the duties of a bowstring, and keeps a
refractory or drunken CZAR obedient to his
Nobles. The great expenditure of Russia within
the last ten years was caused by its efforts to
annihilate the nationality of Poland, to dismem-
ber Turkey, and extend its own dominion over
the territories of Persia. Conservatism has been
always strong in Russia, and that was the first
State to increase its debts in a season of peace.
Austria followed. No democracy has made
head in Austria. No adventurers have there ac-
ceded to power. No places of profit have been
created for the purposes of corruption. Prince
METTERNICH has governed in . peace for up-
wards of a quarter of a century, aid Austria was
the second State to augment its debt. He was
alarmed at the growth of freedom abroad, he
was afraid that the iron yoke of Austria would
be broken in Italy, and he kept a large army on
foot to crush the rise of freedom is every part of
Europe. If Switzerland be yet a prey to anarchy
and subject to vast expenses, it is mainly due to
the selfish intrigues of Austria, NtiliCh has kept
the aristocracy there in power, For the purpose
ofimpeding the success of the democracy.
France saw in 1830 the momentary ascendancy
of the democratic principle, and Saw it betrayed
the next and every following year by the Citizen
KING, in whose hands, in total violation of the
democratic principle, France blindly placed it 3
destiny. The Citizen KING, forgetting his origin,
made common cause with the ancient conserva-
tisms and aristocracies of Europe. Some adven-
turers have indeed climbed to power in France;
some offices have been created for the purposes
of corruption ; but the expense thus entailed
on that country has been one franc in ten
thousand which have been expended to main-
tain Conservatism and Royalty in France, in
opposition to the democratic tendencies of
society.
Has anything different occurred in England?
No. The Whigs excited the democracy in 1830,
failed to gratify it, and, for the last six years of
their administration, have laboured, in conjunc-
tion with the Tories, to resist its demands. Now
and then they gave way, but their obstinate
maintenance of the Corn-laws, the refusal to ex-
tend the suffrage, the slow grant, and the
long denial of Reform to Ireland, the determi-
nation to maintain, at all hazards, the Church
there against the demands of the people, the
coercion directed against the Chartists, were all
sources of expenditure for the Government, and
of diminished resources for the people. In
England, therefore, as in France, the increase of
the expenditure, and the slow increase of the
revenue, have been caused by the striving of the
respective Governments to resist the democratic
tendency.

We therefore differ entirely from the Times,
and ascribe the necessity for contracting debts,
which has been felt and acted on by all the Go-
vernments of Europe, to those Governments not
being in harmony with their people, and to their
foolish attempts to model society after their own
desires, thwarting and controlling the democratic
tendency. They have brought the Governments
of Europe into conflict with the people, and how
that great conflict—the great conflict of our time
—may end, no human eye can foresee, no human
heart conceive.

As long as the Tories were completely masters
of the Legislature there was nothing the
omnipotence of Parliament could not accom-
plish. Corn-laws, it was supposed, could keep
the price of corn perfectly steady at 80s. the
quarter, and Corn-laws were passed. A law-
established and law-extended Church can,
without any doubt, said the Tories, ensure
the morality of the people, and society was shook
to its centre to support and extend the Estab-
lished Church. An array of frightful punish-
ments, which were greater crimes than the crimes
they were instituted to prevent, was expected to
put a stop to criminality. A police, it was sup-
posed, would guide every man and every woman
aright, and give an ALFRED security to pro-
perty. Individuals were born according to law,
baptised- under the same direction,- and were
married and buried by regulations. Trade, the
Tories said, was to be promoted and regulated
by laws, and the fetters of protection were fixed
on every branch of industry. In short, there
was no part of society, when the Tories had the
complete control of the Legislature, which could
not, they opined, be improved by legislation,
and they accordingly sought to make laws for
every domestic, every private, and every public
relation of every individual.
At present, however, the Tories are not mas-
ters of legislation. The people have got a voice
in it, and insist, somewhat pertinaciously, that it
be exercised in a particular direction. They de-
mand employment, wages, relief. Because
the Legislature, under Tory guidance, has un-
dertaken to regulate everything, the multitude
believe that it is omnipotent, and they demand
satisfaction. Suddenly the Tories alter their
tone :

"It is the vice of the present time," said the Post
yesterday, " and a very lamentable vice it is, to regard
Acts of Parliament, and public institutions, as if they
were capable of doing everything—of securing whatever
is desirable and good in human conduct, and guarding
against that which is evil. Christianity—philosophy—
experience—all teach a very different lesson. Good in-
stitutions are great and valuable auxiliaries to the prac-
tice of virtue, but the main thing is, that people should
be virtuous. If they are not, it is in vain to expect that
the enactments and forms of law, or that public institu-
tions, however liberally and loftily framed, will secure
just conduct, and constitute an insuperable bar in the
way of evil-doers."
In order to make our people virtuous, the
friends of the Post reduce robbery to a system,
and lend it the sanction of solemn enactments.
" And with regard," says the same Journal,
" to all that is said about legislation for the re-
lief of distress and pauperism, it would be very
well, also, to take counsel from the saute philo-
