who are supposed to think for them?_ Wh When it
was their own business, they thought nothing about
the matter: let us hope to at last, and that when year after year they kept they destroying men by hundreds, for want
of thought. Henceforward, now that they have made
it other people's business to think of it- men that
they have made a pretense for themselves for not
thinking of it- a pretense which they never had
till now- is it now that they will begin to think
to it? they of whom, upon the most favourbale
of all possible constructions, the best that can be
said is, that they never bestowed a thought upon it
before?_

Thus much as to principle: now for experi-
-ence. The time is short: yet not so short, but that
experience crow crowds into it._ Under Lord Pelham,
of Remedy is backward. Abuse shows the speed which
it is in the power of encouragement to produce.

The place being to the made, by whom was it to
be filled? By any body that had the will to fulfill
the duties of it? by any body who had so much
as the power?- Alas! no:- under Lord Pelham
such requisites are not required._

Had the removal of the abuse been the object,
one description of persons were marked out by the
nature of the case, as the persons to be advised
with
at least, about the choice. it is scarce
necessary to say, were the persons from whose spon-
-taneous taneous and disinterested exertions knowledge
of the existence of the mischief had been obtained.
In that quarter appeared at any rat rate the fairest presumption
