TILE STATESMAN,

nothing less than suspending the very Constitution
itself, the compact agreed on by men giving op their
natural rights to live in society !! A proceeding so
wicked and abhorrent, that if ever it should be the,
sad fate of the hand who writes this to be opposed to a
fellow.crestore and countryman in a civil wary Ng I
Heaven direct the riot of its sword against one who
has been guilty of the misdeed spoken of. Regret
must ever fellow the deed which deprives a beaten
being of life ; bet the life of the man who can coolly
consent to incarcerate his fellow.crestores without
number, feu a Bate without limitation, for acts
which are not ascertained or decided on to be
vicious or virtuous, is not worth, and ought not to
be held worth so much es that of a harmless insect!
Whole hecatombs of such beings are not to be com-
pared in value to a farmer's hard-working horse.—
Bot to the subject of the Meeting. It was not what
we expected—we hoped it woeld have been
countenanced by greater numbers—greater autho-
rities. Mr. Hume, with whom, though we never
have eaten tali, frankly avow we relished his con.
diet ott this recent occasion better than on any for-
mer one. His perseverance sad resolution mite ad.
miratiou and command preiwt. We would have
him lay aside ell idle disputes with fellow-re.
formers, deal no more is bickering., but choose
higher game end nobler themes. Let him confine
and direct his spirit, his zeal, and those powers
which an excellent constitution seems to have
conferred on him, to the almost invelnerable citadel
of corruption. If he will do t►is, and benefit from
the certain profit which some experience in political
warfare now fairly and honestly holds oat to him,
we will not only promise him a rich harvest in the
patriotic field be espresses himself desirous of
cultivating, bet we will also assure him of the
aid of many able and willing ...Wants in safely
housing the produce. This advice and much
more of the like kind is necessary on these trying
oca•inna. The aggrieved People have a boat of
' powerfci foes. Their very complaints ere offensive
to those who wrongihem, and these have it In their
power in twenty ways to reward the mercenaries who
fight their battles: like the Hessian Yager: and
, Brunswick Drageis. who could go and slay in bat-
tle the ionot rut Americans for extra

It cannot, it must not be concealed that the epee
mles of the People hive by far the best of the coo-
lest, however unjust their muse. The venal scribes
have inveigled too mach of the public opinion. They
possess it for the present, and nothing but the teas
gatherer sill shake its bold and loosen its adhereece
mod its faith in " the.poaers that be." 'rho song
says truly, I' We must feel to know the smart."
The CH t !MELLOR of the EXCUI'QUER then *IOW the
ablest recruiter of the Reforming Army. Another
three millions of imposts, if only one half of the sum
. be again exacted from the enmities of life, will
levy whale battelions for the standard of Liberty,
and °cession an equal number to desert from the
corrupt legions. As Cowan said, at a certain time
when it was the fashion sod the custom to scarify the
backs of the brave defenders of Church and Slate,
4, Bog away, flog away, Doke of YORK ;" so we
say, let on, las on, Mr. VANsITTART ; for that alone
sill at least compel a certain number of the rich
Whigs to join the poor Reformers. And any mea-
sure or circumstance Is wished for that might tend to
pm the almost hopeless struggle more on ea equality.
'lle Whigs complain that the Radicals woolel go too
far, and qualify them with the epithet of Ultras.--
The former have no objection to prone the too pru.
rient branches of the corrupt tree, but they insist
upon it that the root shall not be touched. They
assume, therefore, the virtue of moderation, a word
whitis has its admired qoalities and virtues on some
occasions, yet in this case it is hateful and hypocriti-
cal to honesty. Bet why do they not then denounce
the insultingly prominent branches, and take the
pruning-hook in their hand, which would be an indi-
cation of sincerity ? It is because they aim to pos.
seas undue influence In the measures of Government
whoever may be at its head, and io order to delude
the crowd, who might otherwise impel them le move
from their 'vantage ground, they prob.'s themselves
friendly to a change in moderation. This conduct in
• body of men who, as it were, have the fate of a
whole People io their hands, reminds es of a well.
written ode, by an admirable and patriotic British
bard, expressly on the %metal effects of political

For order, peace, tranquillity require,
They buffer all isainor'd —then silently expire.
