LONDON:
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1841.

The difference between the two great princi-
ples of Government, of letting the people do for
themselves, and do for them, may be illustrated
by the conclusions to which the Tory Journals,
embracing the latter, are compelled to come.
The more the functions of Government are ex-
tended, the greater must be its expenditure, and
the larger must be the revenue it must exact
from the people. .In the present condition of
the finances of almost every nation, this consi-
deration should be all-important with statesmen,
to induce them to limit the sphere of their ac-
tion. It-testifies that they have already tres-
passed beyond the bounds of propriety. The
Tory Herald, however, comes to an opposite
conclusion.

That Journal yesterday had an elaborate ar-
ticle on the sugar colonies, deploring the limited
consumption of sugar, and devising means, for
the sake of the revenue, to increase it. From the
article we might infer that the cultivation of
sugar should be regulated by Government, as it
regulates the number of men in the Navy. It
clearly made out that it was the duty of Go-
vernment to augment the consumption of sugar,
which the Tories would not allow to be done, by
diminishing the duty; and it went to recommend
that the Government should take on itself the
supply of the labour market in the West Indies
with labourers. Here is a specimen or two of
our Contemporary's observaf . . . ions:—
It is not to be denied that the consumption of sugar is
Checked by the increase of the costevotioduc.tion in our
colonies. 'This check is not, how

Hum-
,4 what an immense quantity of

is consumed
in gpinish America, even in the poorest
families, must
be astonished at Ending that France requires
not more than three or tour times as much
h for her use
of Cuba." The fact h discloses is generally

Our CrinteMporary then discusses. at length the

Without; however. now discussing this
,question
generallyAtis clear that any emigration from Africa
into the West Indies must be presided over, both in
Africa and in the Colonies, by Government; it cannot
be left to the guidance or direction of the planters..
The plain conclusion to which the Herald is
driven is, that the Government here in England,
must provide, and if now, at all times, for the
due supply of labour by immigration throughout
the sugar colonies. The Houses of Parliament
must devise the means to send labourers to the
colonies from various quarters, and those means
must be carried into effect by the Executive. If
there be at any time too few or ,too many la-
bourers-74f the consumption of sugar fall off or
increase at home, if the seasons abroad be barren
or prolific, so as to make more or less labour be
required, the Government which is to take on
itself the task of directing and regulating' •
mon-
gration, will be responsible, and bound to correct
the temporary and perrranent evil. Might it
not as welt undertake to controland
reoulate
regulate
the seasons, to provide for the diffusion of sun-
shine and rain, to - decree that soils shall be fer-
tile or barren, as to regulate and control the
application of
capital and labour which depend
on those circumstances ? The conclusion to
which the Herald, unconscious of its absurdity,
comes, let us say, in all sincerity, if not in all
courtesy, is as mad as the
R conclusion of the un-
happy philosopher in
asselas, who imagined
that the government of the atmosphere was
placed in his hands.
