There is no denying that a considerable degree of
glOom at present overcasts the political horizon" of this
Kingdom. It i 3 not to he concealed that the revenue
ie deficient, and that trade, manufactures, and agri-
culture, are in a languid state. To all this is added
the severe "affliction of the Noble Personage who has
so long presided over the Councils -of the Nation,

undeserving of redress, and we, as well as the Catholics,
must bow to their decision: - -
It is very customary•to ascribe - the present distress
.
to the system of Free Trade,, and to the liberal policy
of his Majesty's Ministers: That this is altogether an
erroneous inipression, we are fully satisfied ; but much
as We respect their talents and their good intentions,
We never approved. of their conduct during the com-
mercial. panic of last year.. Instead of endeavour-
ing to check that panic, they added to it in 'a -most tut-
accountable-manner ; and that with the perfect concur-
rence of their political opponents; who were desperately
inclined to fOree.the.'s.Ante..Preicriptiona on' Seotland,
though her currency was avowedly in the most:healthy
state. Indeed the. Whole legislation of •that,period
will scarcely- be believed in • future -ages and it is
to those mistakes, and to the. violent contraction of the
circulating medium, that our present misfortunes may
•he justly ascribed. As to the-Free Trade system, we
are quite certain that thousands ascribe to it all our
present difficulties, without the slightest conception of
what it means, and upon the erroneous assumption that
.• we could have continued during peace the over-
bearing system, of our Navigation Laws. This
is denied positively by Mr. CANNING, Mr. Hus-
xtssoN, and others, whose intellect is on a par
. with that of any men in this country, and whose
means of information are evidently better ; and
surely their authority is superior to that of irrespon-
4ible
,persons, uttering random sentiments and con-
• lectures about matters that they so seldom un-
derstand. It is quite the fashion to talk of these
two Right Honourable Gentlemen as if they
were beardless youths, new fangled with the doc-
trines of political economy, heard for the first time
