First sentence: I believe we agree in the opinion, that in the present excited state of the public mind on the subject of the Corn Laws, great exaggeration is manifested on both sides of the question- that the advocates for the total repeal of those laws, and the unrestrained admission of foreign corn, are looking forward to great and extraordinary advantages which it is not likely will ever be realized-and, that their opponents are fearful that a free trade in corn would be attended with a degree of loss and disaster to all classes of the community, of which there is no reasonable ground for the apprehension.
