which the resemblance may. now be easily traced.—
Welare repeatedly urged the fatal Keels, likely to
be produced by the doctrine of expediency and tem-
porary advantage, as used its justification of the Co-
penhegen expedition, and other similar outrages both
on morals and our neighbours. NVe ha ve never ceased
to remind those who justified these deviations from
right, as wise expedients suitable to our circumstances
—those who threw up their hats on thl, assassination of
the Emperor Paul, who waiied with entiety and
hopes after the treaty of Titrit.for an account of • the
assassination of Alexander, who abetted' the assassin '
assocititiOn projected by Goldsmith, and the defen-
ders of perjury and fraud by licences, that they were
digging a pit for themselves ; that assassination was
as justifiable in England as in bra ace or Russia, and
that the day would come when their error would rise
in awful judgment against them. What are those mi-
serable, beings, who are carrying fire awl sword into
the very domestic circle of their best friends; doing,
but following the course which expediency points out
to their ill-informed minds? But we will not pursue
, the subject, hoping that the lessonhas been learnt by
I both politicians and moralists, that if they mean to
enjoy the security of law and morals, they must not
lonly inculcate their pre-eminence, but act on all oc-
casions conformably to them.
