and some have hardly moved at all--and it is
not our intention to attempt TO balance the
account All the world, except England,
seem TO have become wearied out with pvo-
lutions, and are apparently willing to settle
down in quiet, for the purpose of enjoying
what little good there may be mingled With
the evil in this naughty world, and let revolu-
tionists and Ieformers sigh over their visiola-
ry schemes OF human perfectability. In Erg-
land, however, the case seems to be dife
