deeply in the habits Of the past Ms To prevent vio-
lent Innovations. Some men dread the rn-hness !
Of the uneduCated classes; but Mas lgnotance is of
tencr obstinate lhan rash. The customs oi thou
subd wears ago are the sbee.Hnchor of the pres |
ent generation, so deeply buried that u most vi
client Efforts Of The most headlong Spirits can |
move il but hairs breadth. This conservative |
power becomes curse, when it is is strengthened
by artificial barriers To irOwn down the spirit OF
Improvement. II is thus with the British Con
sitution Though the spirit of Reform may have |
thrown down, here and there, Wondering but
,ress, the foundation stones remain unchanged
The original plan of the government was The
Temporary lengue Of knigh,s aud il has lost sight
of the citizen in the soldier. So unchanged are
lis great outlines. said Mr.. p, that the laws OF the
Norman plruteS now stnrve tie working men OF
Manchester, kindle The riots OF Birmingham, aud
cause the giass 10 grow on the wharves Of Liver
pool; aye, aud stretch their balefu shadow across
the Atlantic, to blight the young prosperity OF the
West.
The cause Of the prcsen, Revolution in Great
Britain is that the people want bread Religion
aud Starvation are the only influences which can
rinse the irody of people against their govern
ment. The Swiss repealed n foreign tyrunt the
Dutch Protestunts rebeled against prosecuting
Catholic prince tie French peasant hated the
Mobiles because their luxury starved them; and
the present movements IN Great BrIIun result
from the fact lhnt the policy Of the throne brings
TO muI.iiudes o bare ia lie aud cold hearth, and 10
others idle looms and bankruptcy. This want n''d
depression of trade owing to the undue pre-
donnuncs of the military splrt in tbe govern
ment; and the whole history ot Great BRIAN is
, lesson the folly of war. 70 This hloloch she
has sacrificed her peace her people, aud much OF
her commerce anu the next holt century will de-
! eide whether the monarchy seli viii n0i be swal-
| lowed up ~ The vortex IL is q mistake TO sup
| pose that the mass OF the people OF England
opposed to the crown. Every man in England is
II iutt hunter and loyal To the core. 1t is only
when his natural pride in arstocracy is Starved
out OF him, that lie thinks OF Reform
IL is only by looking at principles which hnve
been long operating, that we can understand lie
present state of parties IN England, The fevulu-
ion which has been going on Tor centuries, aud
which j. now in its crisis. II has few points Of
resemblance with the changes which have taken
place in oh.r countries. The Rcvo ulons OF the
Continent have all been struggles of force hut the
Chartls appeals not to arms against his oppressor
His appeal is to the heart Of hs enemy, aud the
conflict is one OF principles. The Violence ut II
few misguided men, nfumed by oppression, and
driven to desperation 10y hunger is exception to
this remark The Charliss, a party al least IN
their present aspect, appeal not TO arms. The Ian
giiage OF their tavoriic leader and poet may he tn
ken an Indication OF their peaceful spirit:
"Avenae the plundered poor, o Lord!
But not with ire, but not with sword;
| Avenge our wrongs our chains our sishs,
The misery in u chidren's eyes!
| But with sword--no, with fire,
- hastlse our country's loeustfyi
| Nor lie, them feel thy heavier rl,
Chastise them not in poverty;
! Though cold in soul as coti Led DUST
Their hearts as fearless, dead and dry,
| Let them in outraged mercy trust
| And find that mercy they deny"

ring the reign Of George notorious for The vile
ness OF most Of lis great men, The people were qli
Ell, because iood was plenty. From the beginning
of the present ceniary DOM 10 lS3O, tie exports
of Great Britain did not keep pace with The in
crease Of her population; and, consequently, mer
began to talk bout their rights. Many fond
dreamers looked for mighty change but the
grea, loans effected by our country in England
roncurring with other causes on The Continent
gave nh impulse to trade, and the excitement died
away. Our imports from England, which, in
1880 were not as they were in lc00, doubled by
1893 the looms were busy The people hat, work
and faction ceased thus exemp liiying the remark
OF Rotlschild, lint England was the great hear
of the commercial world, and destined 10 he atfec
