DEMOCRACY IN ENGLAND.

II is remarkable fact that while the funda-
mental principles of Democracy are steadily
and rapidly gaining ground in nearly every
country Of Continental Europe, England
should remain with regard TO her form Of Gov
eminent not only stationary, but even become
more aristocratic than ever. Yet the fact cam
not be ganSayed. France, Prussia, and num-
Der of other States, give the right of suffrage to
every adult citizen who is personally fit for the
discharge of his political duties; but in England
it is the privileged class alone that IL
represented in the House Of Commons,
remain altogether unrepresentcd. And not
only is this true, but England is the only conn
try Of Europe which has no organized demo-
cratic party and no democratic agitation, and
while in the other States the prospects Of cos
mopolitan democracy under the leadership Of
men like Garibaldi, Mazzini, Jules Favre Lc-
dru Rollin, Waldeck and Others are becoming
every year more brilliant, England still hest
tatcs to wheel into line in the struggle for popu-
lar rights against the exclusive privileges of the
few.
A new exhibition Of the isolation Of England
in the grand struggle for tho rights of the
people, was given in the House Of Commons on
the 18th of May, in debate on the Borough
Franchise Bill, introduced by Mr.. Baines. In
other countries, the views avowed by that
gentleman would hardly secure to him admis-
sion into tho ranks Of Democracy; but in
England he is Appointment member of the Liberal
Party. Mr.. Baines proposed to reduce tho
franchise in boroughs from fl0 to CO. The
present time, he thought, in all re-
Spects fitting for the introduction Of such
measure. Pledges had been given that
a measure of reform should be carried,
and he thought it better that those pledges
should be redeemed at period Of political calm
than wait time Of popular coercion. The
wish for reform was no less than it had been.
Liberal institutions were spreading over the
world, and he contended that England should
advance with the age. He quoted at great
length the opinions Of Conservative men,
beers of the House in favor OF an extension Of
franchise along with the advance Of education.
Iu proof that there had been such edu.
