not be abandoned from whim, or pique, even
because in single instance il has lot answered
all expectations At oil events, the evils arising
from the existence Of two General Committees are
greatly exaggerated by the Express, and the pro-
position to dissolve the senior Committee and leave
,he field to the Young Mems is, if serious, pre-
posterous f lronico, disresPectful and ,rihing
with an important subject.
Instead of abandoning the Young Mems organ

would preserve each distinct, and improve it,
The Young Mems Committee have made some
good sugsc.lions to this end, which we doubt not
will be fully adopted. But we trust the Reform
will go farther until it results in elevation Of
the ordinary aims aud means of Political warfare
We hope Young Mems Committee will
resolve to institute a Course of Public Lectures on
the important aud not always simple questions in
Political Economy which are continually coming
before the People for their decision, such as Pro-
