DO you remember what great moralist and
a great man, Archbishop WHArEIEY said on
this subject 2 10 the House Of Lords be was
advocating concession to Catholics, and see
how much stronger was truth than the hatred to
theOlogiaus. The bicgrapher Of PEEL calls the
speech splendid piece Of reasoning and 1t de-
cided the vote
So great is the ouicry which il has been the
fashion among some persons for several years
past 10 raise sgaiBst erpedieney, that the very
word has become an almost ill-omened sound.
n seems to DO thought by maAy a sufficient
ground Of condemnation Of any legislator to
ssv that he IS grded by views Of expediencg.
And some seem even to be ashamed Of acknow-
ledring that they are, in any degree, so guided.
/, for one, however, am content to submit to
The imputation Of being votary Of expectancy.
And what is more, do not see what right auy
ono who is not 50 has to sit in Parliament, OF
to take any part in public aifairS Any one
who mag choose TO acknowledge that the meas
ures ke opposes are expedient, or that those he
reccommends arc ipexpedieni, ought manifessly
80 have no seat ia a deiberative assembly, which
is constituted for the express and sole purpose
Of considering what measures ere condueive to
The public good--sn other words, iexpedient.,--
say, the public good because, Of course, by
'expediency' we mean, not that which may bene-
fit s0me individual, or some party or class OF
men, at the expense OF the public. but what con-
duccs to the good of the nation. Now this 1t is
evident, IS the very object for which deliberaive
bodies are constituted. And SO far is this from
being regarded, byour Church at least, as some
thing at variance with religious duty that we
have prayer specially appointed to be offered
Up during the sitting Of the Houses Of Parlia-
mept, that their consultations may be directed
and prospered for the SAFETY honor and iee.farc
Of our sovereign and dominions. Now, II this
be not the very definition Of political expedien-
ey, let any one say what il is"
have no doubt, however, that this judgment
OF civilization rests in part on the difficulty and
The rarity Of the virtue which it praises. We
prize the difficult and the rare because they are
difficult and rare; aud when you consider bow
