THE STATESMAN.

LONDON:
JCLY 16, 1819.

Oar Readers wilt see that we bate considered the
Birmingham Meeting as, it really is in itself, an im-
portant political *bidet. The proceediep are of that
astral, that loam es very little space to espatistat in
t►is place epos other saliest., according to oar daily
fasten.

lish, confides reflections well worthy she eiwiders.

We ire compelled, from a mere genet of jolliest, to
adieu to Mt. Owan's plan race more before the Ge.
Beni Moetin4, which he has called for Monday neat.
The reason which imorliately indoees us to do so is
the spp►eranre of fieport of Mr. Case; Artier!.
torsi Meeting, et Holkhena, lu the Coonig Herald.
—ln Ibis report Mr. Owes is described as having
exhibited his plan to the other visitors ; but the
writer sarcastically assures us, that he did not con.
since any oar of them. This has been copied by the
Time. mod t►e Chronicle, by the latter rather con.
tetertnously. Orr reply would be, that the state-
ment is very probable; but as we are not aware ass
the Ilolkhaus Meeting and the County Herald are
skilled in all the civil and legislative compacts that
have ever tinted in the world, or ire acquainted with
the precise effects of every error which can possibly
creep into the consultation of any society, we do sot
flask It deny immediate importance that Mr. Coar's
guests could not concur with Mr. Owes. This is said
without the least loteallon of disrespect to the Gen.
intern there assembled, who were, upon the whole, as
respectable and intelligent a company as could have
bees collected en each an occasion. But the time is
vapidly petting away, in which semis are to be non.
'Wend equal to demonstrations, in the educe of
political economy. Esperience is Weaning to make
us lodepeadest either of faction or favouritism.—
System after system has sprung op, and the loud to.
larks have !linseed with fatal doatimeness, mad-
deans in their see!, we had almost said in proper-
ties to thei► disappointment, till ruin has neatly es.
gelphed every class. We shall take nothing, shortly,
open the credit or eloquence of any man, or number
of mem, and ill ear points of agreement must be de.
sided, as it were, by the slate and pencil. It is this
useful, though costly, kind of knowledge which Mr.
Otago is anal... to ba our att►ntion upon ; he
wishes us to calculate for ourselves the capabi-
lities which oar soil and labour possess, and
lasting found in the abstract what quantity of
predate may be groWo end manufactured by such
given quantities of power and territory, to compare
the result with that which Is actually produced, and
t►e* endeavour to discover what causes the differ-
ence. This is *bat ho himself has done, sod from
