LONDON:
WILDSZIDAY. JULY 21, 18:9.

There it a formal cootradiction, is anoilier part of

Forza ILL! sat.

may he hoe, for it would be tresson to mousse to
say that man is issedely bad. He is, nevertheless,
spell►d in society, and therefore was are bud. Hew
de we every day see this conlirmed by the cenduet of
wee who have the direetioe of Newspape►s! They
find no difficelly in engaging literary persons to
write sentiments foreign to their hearts, their feel-
ing., and to their very wishes. We know this to be
• fact ; and are ashamed it is so. It accounts for the
vast solicitude expressed in the Ministerial Papers,
that every cord of despotism should be kelt( as
tight together as possible. The smallest relin.
goishment in one single sopa of the prostituted
tackl►, would allow the ship to right itself, end thew

their base traffic would be at sad. On which ac-
count •e believe, from our very swell, that a disposi-
tion to r►form the anises of the State would, and
will, come sooner from the Ministers themselves, than
from their crestores; for in out estimation, badly as
we think of shun, the employers are sot half so
corrupt sod despicable as their tools.

Public attention and public apprehension 'wakened
at a very early hour this moraine : every one appear-
ed anxious to know what his urighboor thought would
be the issue of the Meeting in Smithfield. Numbers
of the heads of families had strictly forbidden their
is anti dependants from resorting to the place
appointed, and, perhaps, to a certain extent such a
prohibition may at once b• lawful and wise ;
children and females (no affront is meant to the Right:
of Women) have certainly no business there; but
for a master to say to his joerney man, " if you go
you shall be discharged," is downright tyrannical.—
C•To says, every man should be more or less II poll.
titian, since by being so, he is able to judge of what
most ens his life, liberty, and prosperity. No
master has a right to keep his servant in so degrading
a kind of bondage. The absurd stuff ender the idea
of reasoning upon the necessity, expediency, or
legality of these assembling, of the People, to con.
salt upon the best method of lightening the weight of
their heretofore compelled grievances, whether reed
in the New or Old Time:, merits derisioa and
istesiatiss. If it were justifiable to compare
the coassovars of sugar (when the Slave-trade was so
agitated) to the drinkers of human blood ; bow
much more so to compare those traffickers in the
political dewy of their telly-creatures to the
mummers of human ink ! Wese it not so,
would not these honest feeling creatures, at the
same tins* that they decry the Meetings 66 for fear
of miethissf," exhort the Ministers to reform the de-
structive abuses id the Slate for fear of greater mi.-
chief. Here is the touchstone to try the cunning knace
from the honest moralist. The former reptiles are
much more horrible than the lecesta of old, or the
caterpillars of. more modern date, since they not
only detour as they dill, but their excrementitious
throwiogs off in their daily columns, are a thou.
sand times more offensive than any thing io nature.
