THE STATESMAN,

. -
from a Minister, who could so stupidly or so arro-
gantly err respecting America ? Aay thing to ex-
pect or one who could throw the Trade with the
United States away, to indulge in ill-timed usurpa-
tion, and insulting, explanations ? Can the country
hire any respect for a man who betrayed his col.
league. while sitting in the Cabinet with him, and
afterwards shot at him in vindication of his trea-
chery ? Are we really got thus far in infamy ?
God forbid ! The nation must stop soon, and
get back into an honest path, or be lost for
ever; and let us hope that this desperate
proof of rushing still further towards the precipice
will not be given.—This maniac proof of replacing
Mr. CANNING in the Cabinet. In truth, if Mr.
CANNING were as honest, as he affects to be wise,
he is not a man to serve this country, by re-
viving either commercial or public confidence.
He has just so much of erigramatic talent as
can offend, but he has no wit to conciliate,
which 'is what is wanted. He has not even
the disposition to accept of useful conciliation,
procured by another, as was eminently wit-
nessed in his throwing America away, when
Mr. ERSKINE (by taking Mr. CANNING'S pro-
fessed meaning instead of his latent one) had
conciliated America, and made her as much your
own, as if she had been subject to you. If, there-
fore, Mr. PERCEYAL and my Lord WELLESLEY
want bullion, if they would bring that back to
England, let them shun the presence of Mr. CAN.
NINO. ONNIUIK, and the BANK, can never re.
wive under the additional weight of Mr. CAN-
Nino's counsels and influence in the Cabinet.—
As to Mr. IlusKissott , lie is remembered by the
nation with affection, for his honest and most im-
portant service, in recommending retrenchment in
the public expenditure, and stating, that nothing but
a retrenchment to the amount of 21,000,0001., picr:
annum, could bring our expenditure within ()tor
receipt. Mr. HusxfssoN may serve the State, and
if he proceed upon his own views he will serve it,
and we therefore wish to see him iu the Cabinet !

We have ever looked upon Mr. LANCASTER'S
Plan of Education as one of the most useful im.
provements of the present day. Unostentatious, it
silently produces beneficial effects that will be felt
in this country to an incalculable degree, when its
author is in the tomb, and nothing remains of him
