The last tidings from Scotland still leave us in
sespense and anxiety respecting the ultimate pro-
ceedings of the vast bodies of manufacturers who
have given up work, in compliance with the pro-
clanatiou or t::cir enemies. The " Provisional Go-
vernment" is not vet formed, or has not dared to
reveal its exisLoce by auy open act of command
aud authority, and the people continue to waste their
time nil limited means of sustenance, in peaceable
bat idle perambillationsanA assemblies. The moment
is not yet come, it appears. when the spur of actual
want will be felt. and the work of rapine and
desolation wilcsaimenoc. May it still be long
delayed, and m:%y the wise and temperate conduct
adopted by the Magistrates succeed, in the mean
time, io recssil'a s the erring men to a sense of their
owe interest,* well as of their duty to themselves,
their families. and the country. It is really pleasilig,
t amiclst the ds.eserssad as-itation of the times,.
late the mcsieratioo, as far removed from
weakness as i! is from violence, with which the
Scotch Magistracy endeavour to restore misled, but
still uoottendi ng multitudes, to the paths of rectitude,
iadustry, and loyalty. No one can be prejudiced
or senseless enough to deny, that the situation of
Psisley and Glasgow is far more alarming than
that of Manchester on the Irah of August. At
Manciiester, 50 or 60,000 men women and children
had assem!ded, wear:tied, to hear a few speeches,
and pass a few resolutions on the subject of Radi-
cal Reform. Yet the Magistrates thought them-i
selves bound to employ the Yeomanry to dis-
peise a meeting, now prored to have been perfectly
peaceable, and the Yeomanry conceived it its duty
to display a degree of meal probably far beyond the
instruct.c-s and even intentions of the Magistrates.
to Scolland. the whole manufacturing population
of several large towns and districts is in a state of
open insurrection, without. arms in their hands,
't is true, but knowing where they are depo-
.ited. and with the avowed and proclaimed
intention of erecting by physical force a revolution
in the State. Certainly no comparison can be
made between the perils of the two periods; and
thengh possesses, of ample means of repression,
hod veto of psnishment the Magistrates of Glee-
cow Pai,iies prefer trying every mode of co.-
ciliation to delivering the people at once to militaty
execution. Neither can they be charged with timi-
dity or imprudence. Their conduct, on the contrary,
is Dot more temperate than it is politic. They shoe
that, Lviin in its errors, the people is not an object
of detestation to the authorities of the land, but
one of c'ecp interea :—that its sufferings are felt,
and the irritation and improper steps which they
produce, viewed with indulgence, as long as they'
do not proceed to open outrage. They main-
L.in the character of father*. and exercise its
beneficent influence amongst the lower classes,
instead of hastening to assume, with that of
Judges, its relentless severity and ita terrors. And
in this they have been nobly supported by the
military. No excess of loyal zeal, as it was falsely
called, has here embrued a British sword in British
blood. Hence insurrection, though proclaimed and
es en commenced, remains stationary, unwilling and
ashamed to strike, when it has not been struck.
Hence too conciliation retains and exerts its salu-
Wary power, and the patriotic Magistrates, who
have respected the lives of deluded multitudes,
will we trust be rewarded for their public spirit'
and wisdom by the unequalled glory of having re-
stored them, without bloodshed, to the character of
iudustrious citizens and loyal subjects.
