Commons on Monday night, the 9tL. The
Times speaks Of the night as san eventful
one in the history Of Parliament" The fol-
lowing is the close of the article in which
that paper opens its defence of the mea-
sure and commends il 10 Parliament and the
couniry:- aiif t
But will the measure be opposed-effect-
ually opposed? That show of resistance
will be offered we know already. But will
il be carried beyond a show? We think this
probable. That those who deem the measure
to fall short of what it might be should Sc
riousy resist it for itsimper fections, we hold
absolutely impossible. They will accept it
as very great instalment-as the nearest
advance to sound commercial system that
hashtherto been made-as an advance which
does not leave very great amount Of change
for future completion and makes that COM
pleiion certain But the country parry
the gentlemen who fight under the banner of
Mr. Miles will they nail their colors 10 the
mast, 10 struggle against free trade? They
have Thread the sign ofthe times who imagine
that they could conquer in such contest
under such a flag. Or perhaps, they think
thatthey can carry their point by FITTING a.
way large concession, and weakening its
usefulness by nugatofy amendments. Let
them beware of this Fabian policy. 1t will
be ruinous 10 those who try it The people
may better be fretted than played with. An
open hostility would be better than a trick
some truce. 1t will leave fewer embers Of
the past, less materials for future discord. =
| Opposition under any form will be ultimately
fruitless. But it will moi be fruitless only
1t will continue great excitement, foster
| bad passions, ard create unconstitutional
powers. 1t will exasperate the feelings Of
the many against the few iii will give curren-
cy aud confirmation 10 the strong and angry
language which as yet has only been used by
few partisans: it will hand over England to
the government OF clubs, cliques and socie-
ties. 1t will fill our town with the hireling
emissaries ofagitation it will unsetlle socie
ty by the antagonism of personal views aud
class interests. And if 10 the social ncon-
venences which spring from great political
excitement 10 be added TO the dangers con-
sequent on the procrastnaiion of necessa-
~ policy, the stagnation ofthat industry on
whose hard and grimed shoulders is laid the
taxation of great nationwide impovershment
of thousands and tens of thousands depend
emf on daily toll for daily bread, and the hor-
rors O Irish famine-ihen, depend on it, we
shall not be far removed from horrid con-
hic., the nature of which it would be indeed
horrd 10 describe, but the issue of which il
would be impossible not TO predict.
But we have no such fears. We put our re.
nance in the probity and clear sightedness oil
the Legislature If they fail us,there is an ap.
peal to the good sense and courage of the En-
glish people. These will not fail us. Thell
destiny is evident, To struggle on the fair and
far field OF competition with the industry of the
world-to abdicate all monopoly--and, by the
abandonment OF undue claims, or impoli.ic en-
deavors, TO promote the peace and intercourse o
nations.
