meeting. He may, perhaps, be bidding for
employment in these stirring times, and therefore
takes the opportunity of bespattering his old
enemies the Whigs with his praise. Mr. ITRQu-

HART is notorious for his virulent attacks on
Lord PALMERSTON, in which he takes every oppor-
tunity of indulging. About thirteen years since,
on his dismissal from employment in the East,
he indulged in a series of pamphlets against
the then Foreign Secretary, whom he accused
of being the secret ally of Russia, and the
mania seems to have adhered to him ever since.
This will account for the tone of all his harangues,
and the great interest which he appears to take in
the question. We are no apologists for the Govern-
ment, but they are not to be blamed because they
did not precipitate the quarrel by ordering the
entry of the British Fleet into the Black Sea -at
the commencement of the dispute. They are rather
to be blamed for not assuming that decisive tone
which might have prevented any hostile -demon-
strations. We cannot, however, leave out of view
the religious part of the question, however dis-
tasteffil it may be to free-thinking Radicals ; and
we hold it to be worse than suicidal folly for
Christian England to embroil Europe in sangui-
nary strife, in order to save an infidel State from
that annihilation which we have a right to believe
is in the decrees of Providence. The whole argu-
ment in favour of Turkey is based upon considera-
tions of mere money-getting, and with this sordid
view we would retain twelve millions of Christians
in bondage to four millions of believers in MA-
HOMET, which are about the proportions of the
population of Turkey. The dispute with Russia
may be temporarily settled by the evacuation of
the Danubian provinces, but it will be far short of
the settlement of the real question at issue, which
can never be satisfactorily arranged until Turkey
is included among the Christian States of Europe.

glories, to every virtue beyond money-getting and
cotton spinning. Our navy would be dismantled,
our army disbanded, our colonies given up as
useless and expensive ; and when young France,

profiting by our suicidal folly, should attempt to
realise his long-cherished dream of invasion, we
should have nothing to oppose but cotton bales,
and no hands to rescue our homes from pillage,
and our wives and daughters from dishonour, but

of late, been taught to look upon society as an accumula-
tion of oppOsing classes with opposing interests. This
war of classes may be safely said to have originated in
that movement which had for its immediate object the
aggrandisement of the great manufacturers,—which scru-
pled not to teach the unthinking masses, that if the pro-
prietors and tillers of the land were denuded of those
immunities which they enjoyed in consideration of the
peculiar burdens to which they were subjected, the opera-
tive classes, as their flatterers termed them, would receive
the full benefit of the robbery. In following out this
nefarious doctrine, the labourers of towns were inflamed
against all- who owned or cultivated the soil. The unsocial

compact has been so far carried out; but its or

appear to have forgotten that "they who sow the wind,
shall reap the whirlwind." No sooner was the object of
the first agitation secured, than a new set of social

" regenerators" immediately took the field. The new apos-
tles of disorganisation took lower ground, and secured
a wider basis for their operations. They raised the
and comprehensive denunciation of
capital in every form. Their battle-yell was the

By this class

tives, numerous both in the press and on the plat-
form, capitalists of every grade were represented as un-
scrupulous plunderers, and blood-thirsty and oppressive
tyrants. By an artful management of this wholesale
denunciation—ingeniously elaborating and expatiating on
some fancied—or exaggerating some real grievance, the
unsuspecting sons of toil were drawn into the vortex of
agitated passions, and thence beguiled into excesses from
which their calmer reasons and better feelings, if allowed
their sway, would have effectually protected them. The
result we have already seen in the protracted and unprofit-
able idleness; the misery and ruined prospects of thousands
—and the utter discomfiture of the false assumptions and
baseless hopes of the credulous, and too easily excited
multitude.

What, let us now inquire, is the real state of this
insensate quarrel of labour with capital ? The pos-
sessor of capital has, no doubt, many advantages in
the social struggle for advancement; but it is not
the mere possession of that capital which confers on
him these advantages ; it is the perseverance, the pru-
dence, and the skill with which he directs its agency,
whereby the possessor of capital derives most of the bene-
fits it places at his command. Nay, every one is familiar
with the ease with which, by means of a little carelessness,
even a large capital is speedily dissipated, while there is
scarcely one of its benefits whichit is not in the power of pru-
dent and persevering industry, combined with intelligence,
to command—hardly apinnacle of eminence attained by the
