FOR TIIE SUN.

The foul crime in a neighbouring Nation I have no doubt
is mainly to be :Ott United to what are falsqytermedliheral
Doctrines. Doctrines detestable, which like those of Wooler
and Co. in England, aim at the annihilation of all just moral
feeling—rendering at once the unhappy wretches who be-
come Proselytes to them, meet Artificers of Treason, Murder,
and Pillage.

• O ! C&BBETT, thou bast much to answer for.

of the lower orders, thou bast, I hesitate not to say it—

with the foul proceedings which have just issued in Wood and

present moment. Nothing but discontent and crime, in its
worst of forms, could be the harvest of the corrupt seed sown
with such diligence in the public breast. It is impossible
that the tenets of Sedition can be innocuously disseminated.:
nor, if the higher classes of the Community be invariably
held up as the proud oppressors of their inferiors, and the
cause of their stifle, inns, is it possible for such monstrous ca-
lumnies to have any other tendency than to encourage a dis-
position to hatred, ending, Perhaps, in bloodshed. Once

It is evident, that the humbler classes of Soci, ty were much
happier when they had no contact with a polluted press.
They understood, and indeed performed.their duties:better,
and —I repeat it—were, hi every-sense, happier beings than
they are now, under ihe false glimmering of light--a -vt. of

At a crisis, then, like the present,' our -Country has the
highest claims upon our public spirit and patriotism. Anew
Parliament is about to he convened. It is imperative upon
us, therefore, to elect, such individuals as Representatives,
who are known to cherish a proper respect for the LaWs',—
and fur the Government that administers those Laws. Men
who could stand up in the House of Commons, as they did a
few weeks ago, and prate about the sound and healthy state
of the Nation, should now have an instructive lesson dealt
out to them. They should nut - be• again entrusted with
powers they have shown themselves so ill qualifiej; to use,
What—let me ask—might have been our actual condition
this day, had Ministers listened to the Galimatias of a err.
tain Party. The face of our fair Country might have been
reeking in blood ! One shudders, indeed, to think what might
have been our fate, but for the firm front and energy of
Ministers.
From the foul Conspiracy of Treason Heaven protect 'lss!..
But, while we invoke the God of our Fathers, let as notch's—
regard the sage counsel given In the fable by Jupiter, to the
Cartman. Arouse, then, ye true Patriots ; and to the

Eu-

duals, who you know will execute tht sacred trust reposed in
them, to the honour of God, and to the satisfaction of their
Country. But reject—steadily reject all those who have, by
their stubborn devotion to party, or their short-sightedness,
well nigh subjected their native soil to Massacre and Ruin.

MR. EDITOR—A well-wisher to my eounrry,
1 take up my pen to,,offer, through the medium.
, of your loyal and patriotic Journal, a few remarks
at this Tremendously important crisis.
God knows words can but ill depict the general feeling in-
the country, produced by the fortunate discovery of the hors
rid plot, whose avowed object was the assassination of
hi-
Majesty's Ministers. What will the sceptics now say ? Wilj
they still boldly affirm that there is no revolutionary spirit at
work in the country, threatening not only our safety,
but oar very existence Wilt the Party still arraign those at
the helm, those truly profound Statesmen, who have steered
the State, and indeed the Nation in safety, amidst daggers,
treason, and incipient rebellion. Dare they have the hardi-
hood to insin!atte that there was no danger, that all was trick
on the part of the Ministry? No, I will not believe there can he
any intellect so perverse, as to stand out against the facts,—
the damning facts,—disclosed by thd murderous confederates
of Cato-;street. Praised he Heaven I that the hut plot, was
timely (fi'scoveted; and that the vile wretches were frustrated
in their career of blood. Malignant, as undoubtedly some of
the plats are that stain our annals, I really do not think any
one is more so than that of which TritsrLEwoon is the head
and leader. But that the fiends were pounced upon in them
den. reflects the highest credit on the public:counsels.
Is it not now self-evident, how much success has attended
the efforts of, those wretched Scribblers and Factionists, the
ConamTs—the: Wooic us—the &c. who have la-
boured by their pestilent 'publications, to make the people
believe that all'
public men were equally Cornipt.
;and that
being thus corrupt, they deserved to he'll eatcd as arrant foes
to the State. Hints of the fittest nature were given as plain:
ly as language could convey them: and sorry alit I, that the
lenity of Government so long suffered slid, infamous Writiugs
to circulate, unrestrained, throughout the Country;--fur not-
only had they the most. evil tendency to the Government
direct, but, what was by no means of inferior moment, 40-
gion itself was sapped by the poisonous streams that issued
front the impure fountain.
