TO THE EDITOR Of TIIR STATESMAN.

Sea,—Duplicity ad 'elks= hs.eing become the or.
der of the day, allow me, through the medium df
riga Puper, In stir a few observations on its bane-
foryteets iron .t.sciely. This evil, like most others,
takes he visit from hilooistets, •Ins practise all m
of &endive,. and pursue their own interests, totally
wordless of the • altering, of the People, the
majority of whom are relayed to pauperism by theft

pietely annihilated if the evil be not speedily arrest-
ed. The honest simplicity which formerly marked
the cachet of Engliskenest is now Tory rarely to be
tort with, bet has been sepersedal by tontsiilgeseile
and craft, and plain dealing has now grown quits,
oat of fashion ; every one is strkink to gain hit own
mercenary ends, totally unmindful of the manner ire
which be obtains them, however vile and base they
say be. The love of lucre prednroirtstes over those
bible vine's for which our forrtathere were so muck
Metinguished, and freed and petorlaslon stalk abroad
unabashed. One man now belids his fortune an %ha
downfal of another, merrily riultinz at Alt fain,
and glorying in his curio acts of villainy, by abide
be has accomplished his purpose.
I If a matt has bet got money, no matter how, be fa
looked upon as a great mato and treated accorrlioel);
whereas a poor man, who has nothing left hie bet
' his honesty ~.d integrity. Is too often treated with
that lased and contempt which he by no means
merits. It is this that impels unprincipled WWII in
lonceto corrupt and practice venality isorder
to obtain tidies; and dies the public coffers ern
drained to ratify the avaricious dispositions of the
vilest of assokind, shoats wadded to rob the pub..
lic perm with impunity, and ',joke Is think that
Joint Butt is so easily gelled. While these locate
aro altered lies to fades on the spoliation of dm
People, sithoet any regard to cumulate loothosty,
is it to be sundered at that others should
their pernicious ample to obtain similar ends ?
From Shakier, the cogitation has spread through
every class of the comnsaity, end tiles the morals
of the People have become contsminaied, so that
honesty bids fair to be banished the kingdom, soil
i fraud sobstituted in its steed, every ono having to
plead the coudect of tar Haien ill palliation of his
own crimes: and while the Naas camps set of
men confine* to govern, it k soot likely 'list the
morals of the People will improve, but, a the am-
ttary, continue to become still worse.
