telling Paper of yesterday is very severe in' its
!eitlititents upon Mr. OwENT's system ; and among
18°I)jectiOns has the following passage :
"rhe Poor are at this moment in actual possession of fall
t.fiftli of the real estate of the cduntry. They have, it: and
theY are far stronger, a thousand times stronger, in the ad-
blitted right, than in the actual,possession. But the greateit
t'il consists in the sort of people the possession makes them.
:41f fed, degraded, discontent follows, sourness of dispoii-
s")) and disaffection to the Government."

feelings and sentiments of THE Poon, %vial SO
i 4ge a proportion of the Country employed for
their support, the Evening Paper, by this very
Ncession:, admits that some change of system is
necessary, and consequently has really refuted
ittelf upon the subject in question.
