• .TO THE -EDITOR. U SUN.
(No. 1a
Sin—The interval of thn adjournment of the
House of Lords to the. third of October, -affords
an opportunity to your--_ literary Correspondents to'
resume their communications, and to apply them-
selves to the consideration of the present state of
the Country, and 'of the Means, which are neces--
sary to restore it to its legitimate character, pros-
perity, and happiness .
The public domestic events •of the 'last-twelve
months, must convince the MEMBERS of HIS MA-:
JESTY'S GOVERNMENT, that.„- from. the intellec-
tual statebf the people ;—the great increase and
diviSion of real and personal property';-7and the
universal efforts. which Continue to be made by .per-
sOns of altreligious denominat'io'ns., to educate the
younger classes of the Community ;—NEW MEA-
surc;:s must be resorted to, to convince the pub-
lic of the SI-ix-curry of the GOVVRNMENT ;
to correct the abuses which have crept into the
Representative system of the Country ;—to lessen
by every possible means the public charges of the
stath, but without injury to its defence and dig-
nity revise and improve its municipal regu-
lations, with respect to navigation and trade, but
without any sacrifice to the innovating spirit of
the modern disciples in political economy ;
arid 'to adopt such 'regulations only as will pro.
mote both those great objects, and extend the;
consumption of British Manufactures throughout
the world. '
A public demonstration by ,IViiiiisters, of such
anintention, will, notwithstanding - the clamours
of the interested and disaffected, allay the PRE-
SENT FEELINGS of the Nation, and give energy
and effect to the State. All the endeavours of.
the MODERN WHIGS will never secure to them
the confidence of the people ; whilst. their con-.
duct is at such variance with their 'words ; of the
truth of which Lord Jottx RiiSsELL is evidently,
sensibly, impressed. So circumstanced, it is, not
much to be, wondered at, that his Lordship's
party, and their superficial, though zealous fol-
lowers, should proclaim, that the source of all
our public miscarriages is- to be seen hi the mis-
conduct, imbecility, and vacillating councils of
the present AdMinistration ! This charge too,
is plausibly and constantly urged on the people,
by profligate and needy writers, who 'find their
account in it. It is a sort of compliment paid
to the nublic,to persuade them, that Tiiey have
no share in the produCtion of these • national
misfOrtunes. But a candid and serious Conide-
ration will sliew, that the malady lies deeper
than is suspected, and it will, probably, be found,
springing from permanent and not, altogether, in-
cidental causes. 7 •
There are general causes, Which operate in
every- State ; which raise, support, or overturn
it ; anti it'has been observed by different writers,
that- it is: by no means fOrtune that governs the
world ; which is evident-from the rise and. fall
of many nations, Who, Whilst they acted " Upon
a certain plan, or system'," experienced a- long,
series of happiness and prosperity ; but when the
system transmitted to them by their ancestors,.
-Was diSregarded and broken in upon, and new
fangled notions were introduced and other prin-
ciples inculcated, they were followed by an un-
interrupted course of misfortunes, which terminat-
ed in their common ruin.
Among the various causes which contribute to
raise or sink a nation, none, perhaps, so muckand
so rapidly facilitates the latter result, than a dis-
regard of those Civil and Religious institutions
and Laws, which have been handed down to
pos-
terity ; though there never was -a nation, which,
probably; had not causes of decline peculiar to
itself. To point out the causes. of the jlresent
state Of' this country, is a task Of no small diffi-
culty, and it may be proper to apologize'for the
attempt ;, for it will require a Minute and impar-
-tial investigation into the manners and principles
of the people ;—to throw a just light on the Pe-
culiar.causes. of our situation ;—to delineate them
—and to unravel their effect on the State and
public welfare.
To . trace 'them to their source will be the
object of
.My subsequent communications, and
though it may not be a very popular design to
hOld up at, the present moment to the, Nation, a
true mirror of its actual state,—that the Public.
may see themselves Contributing to their own
Misfortunes,. and tn 'their country's disgrace, I
shall avail ,myself of every opportnnity. which
Presents itself to forward them to you, for inser-
tion in yOur independent, loyal, and .orthodox
publication'. . •
I hope soon to -See again in your columns the
"communications Of—=" The Ateformist,"
and
" Lanfranc"—they are both able and powerful
writers.
