Ilddresses, all their shuffling and equivocation. The se-
cret cannot be concealed. Their falschoosls cut the throats.
of each other. The influenCe•of• which they con►ptain.is the
influence:of the:property,. the intelligence, amtthe industry
•of England, which laugh all their hypocrisy, all their hollow
sub terfuges to scorn. The people of England have; front the
beginning, set themselves against the base artifices:resorted-
to by Ministers, and the.lawless measures which their das-
tardly subserviency*y_ induced them to adopt. The people of
'England are 'of an open; brave, and generous disposition----
they hate hypocrisy—they hate cowardice—they hate cruelty
—and', above all, they hate,eruelty and cowardice when they
see them exercised against a sex whom we are bound to pro-
ti ct and cherish. With religion and' morality. in their mouths,
Ministers were. seen by the, people of England opening the
flood-gates of profligacy and immorality—piiiseiningo without,
-remorse and for the dirtiest of purposes, the most pitiful self-
interest, the unsuspectiog minds of our youth.—They saw
them squanderiug the resources of a suffering people in the
purchase of the vile means for effecting" their vile objects.—.
Their veriest creatures are ashamed. of•. their conduct ; and
while they come forward at the word Q 1 command with the
hacknied expression of venal loyalty, they arecareful to de-
clare that they leave out of the question the conduct of Mi-
uisters—the conduct of the very men whom their Addresses
are weaut td support.

When the excitement caused in the public mind by the on-,
;tist proceedings against the Queen shall have subsided, that
is,wheti-those who framed the conspiracy and directed the mass
of perjury shall have received their merited punishment, we
may then hope that the internal condition of the country will
be deemed worthy of the serious attention,: not of the Legis-
lature alone, but of theenlig,itened classes of the community
throughout all parts of the Empire. We are tired of hoping
that Parliament will seriously undertake a review of the state
of the nation. Session after Session since the return of peace
have we trusted that the wisdom and humanity of the Legis-
lature would see the necessity of forcing such an inquiry upon
the Ministers, hut our confidence,bas been deceived. The
Ministers, as if delusion were necessary fey their own safety,
Session after Session assure Parliament that no evil exists,
no danger is to be apprehended but from the rash and impe-
tuous violence of their proud and pampered people, and at
the moment that actual starvation was driving-thousands of
the industrious classes of the State into madness and rebel-
lion, these wise Ministers declared that to the licentious-
ness -of the press alone conid the alarming state of
the country be justly attributed., In the mean - time
they maintain their War Establishment, and to prove
their conviction that want arid_ misery could have
no share in • producing the irritation in the public
mind, they impose new taxes to the amount of three
millions, and enact laws to prevent the people front ut-
tering their complaints. To the resident gentry then (Attie
several counties Merle do we now look with any confidence,
and we are not sorry to find it intimated, that at some of the
county meetings now in the course of being called, for the
purpose of preparing Addresses of Congratulation to. the:,
• Queen, it is intended also to notice the state of the country.
,The subject will, no doubt, be kept distinct from the question
of the Addresses to her Majesty, but the opportunity afforded
• by the numbers assembled for the one par pose.might be con-
- veniently chosen for collecting the sentiments of the respec-
tive counties Upon the other topic. The circumstance that
now piesents'itself as. most observable in the slate of the
country, is the depressed condition of agriculture. The dis-
couragement of tillage is so great, that in very many parishes
lands which had been under tillage almost out of memory
- have been resigned to pasture and still the average price of
corn is: not sufficient to pay the price of producing the di-
minished quantity. We are, however, far from thinking that
this evil woulffbe remedied by the vulgar and obvious plan of
excluding foreign corn, or subjecting it to a ditty amounting
nearly to a prohibition- The existing evil appeals to us to
be. a reaction from the operation of the corn Laws, and
w.aild be most effectually corrected by 'their mitigation or
• total abolition.
