THE CAUSE OF LIBERTY.

The condition of England presents one of the
most interesting problems in the world. As far rs
we can read the heavens, they abound with signs of
"changes, perplexing monarchs" and their minions
The Reform Bill has infused more of the popular
feelng into the House of Commons-and only pre-
pares the way for new reforms, for attempts TO OBJ
tam them The Church Bill, the motion to repeal
the Corn Laws, and the general tone of the public
prints and parliamentary discussions show that the
tide OF innovation is setting in, to wash away many
of the lpld establishments of the country

bour and capital are in search of new investments
AS society improves the country begins to swarm
with population; and Iabour-saying machines null
uPy the effects of labour an indefinite extent -
what should be done? New employments ought to be
opened. The artificial restrictions imposed by DO
sIilye institutions ought TO be relaxed or entirely re-
moved. Government ought more and more to ap-
proach The great purposes of its original destinations

which may accommodate itself to the growing de-
mand. Free Trade becomes the interest of the great
body Of the people. Now England is precisely in
this condition. Her labour and capital require new
empioyments. But her industry continues to be
rammelled by numerous restrictions. The Corn
Laws still grind the poor labourer, who is frequent
Iy sent supperless to bed. Even her agriculture is
shackled by the vast bodies of land which are lock-
