PRO VI NCI A 113 OURNA

We are glad to find that we have given satis-
faction to our Londoto, Readers, but niore par-
ticularly to these in all parts of the Empire, b\-;
the introduction of articles under this head into
our miscellany. The' CcinduCtOrs of the loyal
Journals front 'rhich our Extracts are derived,
are, of course' gratified in finding that their meri-
torious exertions in support of our' happy.Esta-
hlishment in Church and State are not confined'
to the notice of their respective 'districts, and the
general Readers throughout the• conntry have an
opportunity of-knowing the Sentimetrs, opinions,
and principles of various brooches of the Pro-
vincial Press. Besides, this mode of comMunico-
don enables us to diffuse sound principles, %%hid;
may tend to counteract efforts of faction, and
perhaps correct the errors of those Who haVe- been
misled by the 'specious doctrines of modern Re-
formers, and render them' good and loyal sub-
jects. We now turn with pleasure to The Leeds
Intelligencer, as Journal that during the late' se-
ditious movements in its neighbourhood was
found to be firm on its post, and which well deserves
the esteem and gratitude of the people at large.
It vigourously repelled the insidibus arts' of a
competitor in_ its immediate vicinit!i, a'ud we
doubt not essentially contributed to restore peace
and good order to the Country :

• '' it is impossible to contrast the present Sitna-.
tion..of the country, with what it was twelve

were too ignorant to unite, prOsecuted their flagi-
tious purposes by haranguing those to Ito Were..
unable to read ; while others, ivho feared,
haps, to act, contributed their aid through the
medium of the Press. As it .was upon the needy
alone that they hoped to operate, publication 3 of
unprecedented cheapness were circulated with tin.-
exampled industry. in these writiogs, sedition
was inculcated with the most nodisguised Orion-
tery. The arm of power, and the-Voice 'hf the
were openly defied, because it was thought.
they would he paralysed by the multiidicity of
lo every (lit ectioo, in the inctiopoll.s,
in the provii;Ces, in cities,. in towns, in viliagci,

They grew reckless of partial relief, in the .anti-
cipation of general amelioration, and found them-

the means to return. . . ,

"In this disastrous crisis of our afiiits, the
Government was passive,- almost till lenily became
a' fault. The error (if it was °tit) sprang troin ho-
many. It could nut be„deoied- that. great and se-
vere sufferings wet e endured by the people,.,lx th
a degree of patient fortitude which did honour to
our. national character. In such seasons of cilia-
toity, a nice and jealous administration of the
laws savours more of persecution than if wi-sdom.

claim to forbearance. it is seldom act exact calcua•
lator; and when it dues nut too-closly imit:ste the
unretlecting prodigality of the savage, who pits
down the trees to get at the fruit, some itulti!getice
should be extended to its ebullitions. It was 'you
this wise and liberal 'principle the Government
acted, so Long as its application was win rawest; by
prnden6e. But when it became al,parcnt that. lice
distresses of one class of the commoni.!y were.eni-
ployed to precipitate the whole into :oil); when
it w ind:spniable, that treason and ,edition we're
undermining the basis of our ; when the
audacity of the conspirators kept pace with, and
even outstripped, the clemency of. the Execntive,
it would have been insanity, or the height of cri-
minal folly, to continue 'a supine spectator of the
march of anarchy and desolation. The period
had arrived, beyond which mercy to the few teas
cruelty to all. The choke was to be made, is
titer the power with which it was invested should
be put forth, or stitiered to remain a specious
theory. guardians were not its betrayers.—
Measures were adopted, whiCh all good men ap..
,plauded, which only ti,e guilty feared, and which
the factions or the foolish altute condemned. Th( v
who denied the existence of datiLter, and nth ised
oim no precautions ()tilt! he taken, were men,
we may suPl!'e, Wl,O would scud before the wind
tinder a press of sail, to avoid t lie breakers a-head
of the vessel. There was aunt her description oF
persons, indeed, who deprecated the course puri-
sued : but they might be compared to felons who
entertain gra.ve aloirbis upon the expediency of
using !labels. The best answer to both may now
be read ijt the.altered condition of the couc-itty.
Of the disaffected, some have fled in dismay ;
others lia,ve shrunk low their origibid insigtoii-
eance ; and the rest, with a coward instiller, re-
main quiet, because,there nary be -danger in offi-
ciousness. They are not, however, quite desti-
tote of hope ; though the reviving activity of out•
manttlactut es and commet cc, and the almost ccr•-
minty ;10 abundant harvest, duist rapidly di-
ntinish the sphere of their operations; These
misfortunes they would have avoided, had they
been pet mitt ed to mature their patriotic: designs,
which could thrive only it, the destrueti,?n of na-
tional credit, the annihilation of public enterprise,
the demolitioo ,social older, ittld, t(1 comprise
all in one, the subversion of the Constitution,"
