The current number Of the N0rh Amcric1,

dangers alleged 10 threaten the United

Neither in temper nor in substance is this
paper up TO the level maintained by the Re-
ricio under its present management. But In
spite Of the inadequate treatment, the qucs-
ton started is so interesting that it may be
we'll 10 offer few reflections on the subject
The writer Of the article in question seems
10 think he has proved his case by citing a
prophecy Of Lord MACAULAY's contained In
letter 10 an American gentleman and
which has repeatedly gone the rounds Of the
press during the past twenty years. That
prediction, which foretold the ruin Of our
Institutions through an eruption Of barba-
rlsm from within and from beneath was not
conspicuous for insight into our social condi-
tiuns, and, viewed as a criticism Of our pOlitl-
cal machinery, revealed surprising amount
Of EiscOnccption. For let US see how the
prupriety Of subyertng those rights of
property which are based on the doctrines
Of indiyidualism, and the wisdom Of replac-
Ing them by some form OF the communal
system, c,uld be brought before the Amcr-
car people for t."r decision.
