FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 24, 1539•

Wave after wave the tide of political excitement Its
on so rapidly during the session of Parliament an gjes
continuance of keen opposition, and active strueg oor
for party ascendancy, that we have neither the „e
space for the deeper and more serious questions o_, rre,

litical science. By common consent, the necessarr
suit of general convenience, these consideration'
usually reserved for the recess ; and when that Post
of comparative leisure shall arrive, we shall eedevaiss
to carry out some investigations of the leading lige
which now agitate men's minds, and divide intaof
rent sects and parties all the reflecting portion °4
community ; and of these we will venture to asseedioo
cardinal point is the great and all-important et apd
of National Education. Involving the bight' 01
most abstract questions of political philosoPb)'octi•
descending into the very minutest channels of Pr;l joi
cal detail, this question is forced upon the public olio
with increased interest and importance by the P
condition of the British people, and the critical
re °,a3
lure of our ecclesiastical affairs. For all these re3,s3
it requires to be discussed with patient, accural
i pd
calm attention, without alloy of party aeriinall'
with the most unmixed desire to promote the % *,
welfare. But the precipitancy, the folly, and' 11es
add, the wickedness of our misguided rulers, li'dele,
whether we will or no, to turn aside from our
rate purpose, and in this transient pause of Part' ce,
fare, calls our attention to a danger which hallo '
upon our heads; and, before we shall have 113
eacj,,
more opportunities of appearing before our %id
the blow will assuredly be struck. We hopee,3o3o(l,
firmly believe, that conservative, religious 11413giiitt
will not be caught sleeping, and that the blow
coil upon the profligate assailant. , ea ill,
Whenever the whigs are unusually hard Prrrsofiat
politics, they always endeavour to get off by tl`vailet'
their pursuers into a false scent. Like a craftqueti,
they go off on an immaterial issue. Like a 00115;
bandit-captain, they are great at feints, and dive sa'
and stratagems. In this spirit, when Jalllaicat'o tUe
Canada, and Ireland are, like the Symplegades,
ancient mariner, shifting rocks that threaten 111-0, for
wily to crush their frail and crazy bark, they Se, $(10'

up of Parliament last week for the Whitsuntide oa ale
Lord John Russell gave a hurried notice thattor ,1,1
31st instant he will move a grant of £3oo° o°6l
insidious purpose. Now, as this is one of th icioo
plausible, and, at the same time, most Perte
schemes that have emanated from these profligal
ticians, we propose to examine it in some det3:oo'il
this " brief breathing-time" we cannot hope t° 0,
up as it deserves, but shall return to it i° 11g
searching manner on the first suitable occasi°l3ool ;
say it is the most plausible, because we not alba /1
but, as zealous churchmen, are the foremost °di'
anxious to assert, that the diffusion of real l'e°ol.e sec'.
in a sound and serviceable way, is one of oveilr
highest duties which can attach to the civil riiiogs;
ment. We also affirm that it is the most rel%lieal°
because, being founded upon principles enticelYijg,
the British constitution, distasteful to the nati°l:oo°'
ratter and dispositions, and repugnant to c batif
sense, it is calculated to convey not knowledg.,e'esilf°r
norance and error, and so to increase the very ,
„ 0
which it professes to provide a remedy. cation .4
We say that the proposed scheme of ednat
repugnant to common sense, because we

intended to convey religious knowledge to tjead 3r(i
but that no definite standard is to be set' °T„
