SUr snI.s A.vncy sh1is NE. For ourselves Our
repoee has never been haunted by such drains
with some little experience Of the mind and SisDo.
stion Of our countrymen, we have the most unial-
teYiDg reliance the love Of order sense of Justice
Difference to the law fair dealing, and general intel
When timd twadders, then, have bored rs With
imaginary dangers, we have already put down their
Authorizations to the unhappy prejndices in which
they have been reared to their wish to bolster up
some iniquity which was personally profitable to
organization Of the English mind which would
have enabled them to chase such spectral illusions
from their own.
Cheered always by the firm reliance we have men
toned, we suffer little dread under almost any pos
sible contingency; and If it should please Proyi
dence to allow the earth to swallow up, like Kora
Dathan, and Abiram, the whole Victorian executive
tomorrow, from the LieutenantG Governor down to
minee who has ever submitted to the indignity Of
the government brand, we believe firmly that the
people Of Victoria are quite capable Of organizing In
one month, amongst themselves, q better govern
meDt in every department Of the public service. Or
if Great Britain should cast of to morrow the tow
line by which she drags us along the muddy ditch OF
her colonial policy, we have such confidence in our
fellow coonists as to know with certainty, that
established, national character higher, our pro-
gress more rapid ana ourselves bolder greater bet
ter men than will ever be the case in our present
condition OF miserable vassaage.

better for both countries that it should come quietly
And to that end we conceive that it is essential
that it should come There is nothing 30 much
to be deprecated as that the feeling of acrimony
should be engendered between Eng land and Austria
LA, which now SO largely taints all her communica,
tions with our elder brother Of America. Every ef
ioit should be made, that we part kindly when we
do part and it ID, therefore, better that we prepare
to part betimes. Reform in England's treatment Of
her colonies we believe to be altogether hopeless.
As community we owe her much; as government
we owe her less than nothing. Her protection" is
the sheerest humbug, sitting the principle of
courage and sefreliance amongst ourselves, and
hetraying US into the very dangers from which she
THEORETICALLY pretends TO guard us. She has done
nothing for ns but to deluge us with felons, and
crush US with bad government to the very earth.
Such deeds these can do otherwise than call up
ranking hatred and deep sense Of wrong and
these being protracted, win some day lead the
timorous Australian to resist insults and injuries
rather more singing and intoerable than the stamp
act and tea duties which neryed his holder brother
Of An erica.
1t is too smooth path like this, that Legislative
Council Of Victoria Is now chiefly wanted It may
anuse it,elf in its leisure hours with scab acts aud
vagrint bills notices Of motion aud select commit
tees But times coming rap lily when steruer
duties await 1t, and when much will depend upon
the mastery hand with which those duties are per.
formed.
