worthless as the wretches who mis-spell their
trash, upon our walls, endeavour to excite the
lOwer orders to revolt, by using the most sense-
less as well as the most irritating language.
One of the' misfortunes attending the qgjtation
of this problem at this time is, that'it is-the first
topic to open the eyes of the Public to our red

situation, and to destroy the illusions which fools

and sham-patriots land conjured up as the Ph-
mediate results -of Peaee. The People find
that the golden age is not to have a mira-
Culous commencement, and the misguided por-
tion of the population, instead of looking. pa-
tiently to the gradual return of pacific blessings,
are in a state peculiarly liable tobe agitated, though
it arises out of disappointment occasioned only
by their own senseless expectations. Ought not
public men, therefore, (whether in Parliament,
at Meetings, in the Press,) to be guarded in their
tone and manner ?. Ought they to flare the
torch.?s of their eloquenee or compositions abroad,
as if they were enlightening a silvan security, in-
stead of stalking amid combustiblei of the most
terrific description ? We appeal from their pas-
sions to their sense--:-the crisis of Peace is, strange
to say, the most trying and dangerous to these
Realms, and it well befits every good Citizen co
beware how he wai4s in these perilous times.
The real patriot will resort only to consti-
tutional means to obtain what he deems es-
sential to the general welfare, and knowing
that the redress of all grievances is within these
means, he will spew by his moderation and tem-
perance how highly he prizes them. He %will leave
the mischievous work of inflaming the populace to
Westminster Meetings, and while these put the
• internal tranquillity of the Metropolis to a wicked
test, he will prove to the deluded, by his example,
that legal steps alone, firmly and unanimously
taken, are sufficient to attain all that is required.
We are inclined to believe (what we hope will
be the event of the Measare now under the consi-
deration of Parliament) that the rate proposed
as the minimum for allowing the importation of
Grain for Hoine consumptioo will be lowered
before the Bid passes into a Law. Should this
be the case ; should 76 shillings, instead of
SOs. he determined on as" the protecting price,
there are many weighty and important reasons to
induce the Country, and even those who may
think this rate still too high, to be 'satisfied
with the arrangement. Nor 'are these reasons
confincd to the side of the agriculturist ; many
of them are strong in favour 4.Z the poorest of
the people. Among Others, we may enumerate an
assured and constant supply of sustenance in the
market, market, at a price never rising to an enormous
pitch—a settled-state of internal policy and traffic
—no cause why provisions should rot be much
cheaper than the boundary marked out, though it
amounts almost to a certainty that they will not
be dearer, for the importation and warehousing,
at all times duty free, will protect the-consumer
from the efict of home monopoly—a greater
employment of the labouring class in agricultural
labours—and a number of other advantages which
would be happily felt in the invigoration of our
whole political system.
We have not room for further commenL The
Corn Bill was read a second time last night, after
an injudicious Amendment moved by Mr LAMB- I
Tutu, and a more commendable one by Mr. Balt-
ING, had been negatived.
