Do gentlemen, in their passion for legislation, think that, after only thirty years' discussion, they can now at once manage as they will the most unmanageable, perhaps, of all subjects ? or do we forget that, in fact, not more than thirty years have elapsed since we first presumed to ap- proach even the outworks of this great question ? Do we, in the ardour of our nascent reformation, forget that, during the ages for which this system has existed, no preceding generation of legislatures has ve...ntured to touch it with a reforming hand ? and have we the vanity to flatter ourselves, that we can annihilate it at a blow ?
