_HRS. CAROLINE. CHISHOLM ON THE BALLOT.

Mrs. Chisholm, it will be recollected, a few years
since undertook, with some adventurous spirit, to
direct the migration to Australia of a number of
well-conducted, industrious young women. We be-
lieve that the success of her enterprise greatly con-
duced to establish the equilibrium of the sexes,
which has been promotive of at once a higher civi-
lisation and an extended morality. Her natural
energy and administrative talent have been accom-
panied 'by a clear-sightedness which has enabled
her to perceive how favourable are the political
institutions enjoyed by the denizens of the land of
her adoption • and in a remarkable letter, addressed
to Mr. Bright, she exhorts that gentleman to
struggle till he obtains for the people of the mother
country similar ameliorations. in the course of her
letter Mrs. Chisholm says :—The " dark ages" of
politics are gone by ; those men who would eman-
cipate the millions must not look out for precedents,
but must erigivate and organise a state-machinery
equal-to the work of the nation, and to the progres-
sive spirit of the times. The existence and the
legitimate rights of the people must be recognised.
The political regeneration of the nation must keep
pace with the rapidly growing intelligence of the
masses, and this intellectual advancement of the
industrious classes in England will soon neutralise„
or break up, that great oligarchical association, the
" Carlton Club," with its system of political jockeyism
and corruption. Rest assured, sir, that the most
legitimate and successful means by which the con-
summation of your wishes can be accomplished will
be by carrying out the following three vital points
—viz., the Ballot, Manhood Suffrage, and Payment
of Members. In these colonies the ballot has been
tried, and found to work so satisfactorily for the
public good, that I think I shall be excused by you
and the public for calling your attention to its suc-
cessful working in Victoria and New South Wales.
I have closely watched its operation at both places,
and I earnestly hope the people of England will
never rest contented until they have wrung from
the British Parliament this powerful weapon of
self-defence—this great test of freedom—and this
pallAdiUM of rameis rights—Nowcaftle Qltronicle.
