'it E ST.4TESIIA N.

ON THE PRF:SENT ST 1T1.: OF THE COUNTRY.

" Now all my thoughts are sorrow and despair;
What else does suit these timcs of horror'
I.ooli round; is there the slightest gleam of hope!"

The deplorabta depth •f distress, into which a
selfish faction has plunged the country, is a sahject
on which the philanthropist canntst allow himself to
reflect for a moment, without experiencing the strong.
est feelings of sorrow. Indeed, the man who coati
contemplate the ocean of misery in which these lands
arc immerged, and not melt into grief at its shocking
condition, must have a heart obdurate as adamant.
If we cast our eves round us, and behold the disriEtt
picture oar conntYy presents, every feeling of hams.
city must shudder at the scene If we were to visit
and explore the retired habitation of the peasant, no-
thing would appear to mar view but the most ex.
tretne poverty and WretOtedness. After enduring,
through a long and wearisome day, the toilsome la.
hours of the field, he repairs, on
the apptoach of
evening, to his cottage ; but ah! there is no wortiti
comfort for him there. ineead of feeling happy
the company of his innocent Tittle offspring, th-ir
crirA and terrpiAg for wadi of bread only tend to
increase ltis misery.
Nor will we find any Mater; it difference, except
it be for the worse, thongh we investigate the cir-
cumstances of the mechanic, or the condition of the
mantifacturer ; for the come misery pervades all tits
labouring classses of society, from one end of the
country to the other. Hence it is so many have
scarcely clothes to their back, or meat to their belly.
And when such is the case, it is not much to be
wroldered 'that we hear of so ;natty rohbeties, and
other crimes, whereby such multitudes comb to the

scaffold '.
It rerptires nn profundity of genius, or ex',reise of
philosophy, to discever the causes from who're this
tuisery has arisen. 'Every one can affirm from cretwt:
T.:Teri/wet, as well as from rotnmon observation, that
a ricions and corrnpf administration is the first Iv!
primary cause. It is from this source that every other
evil has sprung., under which Britain has been groat,
ing so long. How inning and piercing then must 1
be to the minds of these victims of penury a..d
wietchedtte‘s, to think that those very nits wig:
have ripened the floodgates of their-ntisery—Telto eat
and drink and are merry o'er the sweat of their brow
—should, when they petition for relief from their
distress, treat their petition% and their prayers with
intlift'erenee '. If the ronntry should contisue for
any spare of time, in the state in whirls it now is,
we shall be disposed to consider it as one of the
greatest prodigies we have ever heard of. It mot
neresssarily, is utir opinion, either retrograde or ar!.
va.nce. And if it can be saved, without being prewr
ri•
misty subjected either to despotism or anarchy,
shall look upon it as nothing else than a miracle of
!leaven.
