Excerpt from Beauties of Robert Hall Let reform be considered as a chirurgical operation, if you please: but since the constiféution must undergo it or die, it is best to submit before the remedy becomes as dan gerous as the disease. The example drawn from a neigh bouring kingdom as an argument for delay ought to teach us a contrary lesson. Had the encroachments of arbitrary power been steadily resisted, and remedies been applied as evils appeared, instead of piling them up as precedents, the disorders of government could never have arisen to that enormous height, nor would the people have been impelled to the dire necessity of building the whole fabric of politi Cal society afresh. It seems an infatuation in governments that in tranquil times they treat the people with contempt, and turn a deaf ear to their complaints, till, public resent ment kindling, they find when it is too late that in their eagerness to retain every thing they have lost all.
