may bs the quality of his coat, or, at least
of the tailor's, coat which he wean, and
however respectable the position wbicb be
occupies in Society, neither his coat nor
bus calling can entitle him to the respect of
an honest man. We have eo hesitation in
saying that the Gemtlewats mania is, at
present, the greatest curse that afflicts
society. lo almost every community of a
thousand people, or two hundred families,
you will find from tea to twenty men who
pretend to be gentlemen, and who, in reali-
ty, ars existing as a useless and an expen-
sive burthen on the industry of their fellow
townsmen ! They look upon the indue-
tnous tra!esman as a kind of inferior crea-

their o.ceeaaties; and yet then is not a
tradesman nor even a laborer, down to the
sewer of cordwood, whn does not comm

genteel,ty. We have no objection to a
as. riding on the tip top of that fantastic
thing called fashion, providing he rides a
his own expense. If hie means are his own
aed if he choose. to .pend them on gew-
gaw, and peacock feather., we may pity

THOUGHTS FOR'THE PEOPLE.
'T agreattATaa.
We have already teen that the interest of
the community, considered in the segre-
gate, or In the democrattcal point of visor,
is, that each individual should receive pro-
tection; and that the power. which aro coo-
Wtuted for that purpose should be employ-
ed exclusively for that purpose. -.Hill.
In a eou.try where might is right, it
would be ap set of folly to confer proprty
upon as ordinary redivides', without at the
same tine giving to him means for its de-
fence. A purse, in such a case, would be a
curse instead of a blessing, by exciting the
cupidity of the porlerful. and .objecting the
receiver 10 their petsecuttons. But • if, in
addition to the purse, • sword were pretreat-
ed, some prospects would be immured of the
quiet poesessien of the flit . it May be said
that the conteou of the purse would enable
the receiver to purchase arms necessary for
its protection, but in going to the depot for
that purpore. it is more than probable that
he would lose his treasure. This is a
rather round -about mode of expres.iea, but
when we turn to the political world of
Canada, its application will be readily per-
ceived. blight is right in ore -half of our
constituencies. The rich storekeeper, or
the affluent lawyer, hold:ng notes, mortga-
gee, sod obltgaro.s, bolds a prepooderating
electoral 'interest. or a suflic4ncv of it to
secure the return of his candidate. Wt
try to remedy this state of things, In theory,
by extending the suffrage: we give the
purse and withhold the sword. To show
that we are sincere in our desire for puny
of electron, ws should not reform the sys-
tem by half-mea.ure. We should set up
the ballot -.box when we throw open the
polling -booth. I world not follow the
figure with which i set out is every parti-
cular, and refuse extended suffrage, es an
evil, if unaccompanied by the ballot; Wt I
consider each as essential to the weli-
working of the other, that I should regard
it as the height of political madames to sepa-
rate them. The open -vote is fraught with
numerous evils, and although these- are
- exhibited to a greater extant on 000ntriee
where ela..es aro further apart than here,
we see sufficient of them to induce us to
wish for their discontinuance by a 'removal
of their primary awn. All men acknow-
ledge, consciously or . , y, the
power of wealth. a.d aro compelled, 04450
is their lives, to bow to its behests. This
is especially the ea.e is the tender of the
1 suffrage, and any voters aro driven to the
polls, to vote i• direct violation of their
secret opiaioos, by the fear of the frowns
of a party. In cities this intimidation is
more observable than in counties, bot
exists, nevertheless, in story eoostiteency
is the country. The office -holding ehgee

pushed to the same extreme as in Great
Boothia. We have no country, series
openly dietrtbnttng partizan ribbons to their
!coasts, and bluntly ordering them to vote
for the Protectionist; w* bave• no church
thenitarie• riding from door to door, and
es•vmsstsg, with unmistakable blots of
future ruts, for the Church sed State man;
we have so aristocracy whose 'word is Id.
for thousands. But if we have not these
pests of a community, we have screwing
storekeepers, some sharp lawyers, and some
meddling official'. We have •n evil to our
midst which can be removed, and we munt
remove It.
if there were no other argument to bring
against the op.n•vote than its temptation
to intimidation, It would be amply', Andes'
(*justify the .ubetituuoo of some system
which would do away with that evil. But
when we consider the opportunities afford-
ed by it for bribery -not so much, perhaps,
al the part of isdrvsivals as of government
-and its ts6uenco in 18e production of out-
rages et t►e polls, we are doubly armed in
our attack upon it. There is no additional
proof to that already before the public, ro-
geired to convince the people of Canada
that their rulers have, oo various occasion,
abused their powers, sed bartered patent -
deeds for cosscieoces. Free gifts of land
kayo bees retorted to, to option use tot-
tering Mrnsrry, at lost and may be em-
ployed for similar purposet agate. Nor is
violence at the poll-boothsst extirpated
iron the land, judging fromlh latest gene-
ral efecuoon, which offurded instances of
its active extstenee.
1n the Ballot -Box we find at once • pro-
teetioo against int,wdsUon, bnbery, and
beets -force demonstrati'•os. By adopting
it we destroy the wont features of party
feeling, and rotary such portions only of it
as are inseparable from good
and fres institutions. We secure te t8.
poor man the same untnmelled expo...ion
of opinion u is allowed to his richer neigh-
bour. We level those barriers between
classes which are productive only of mutu-
al jesloasy, dislike, and distrust. We re-
store to every man that political equality
which was the first principle of soer.te-
the first bond of uoioo-bot which has besot
usurped by wealth, and denied by the pow-
erful. W e allow a people real self-goven-
mest, god bring the Intel:wg.os of the

sprit of It. Ws aim • death -blow at all
tn000pliea, and maitre legislation for the
g.seral benefit. Ws establish a govsrs•
most firm in the offeemals of the mass, and
rob the demagogue of capitol. We
create m loyalty pore and deserving ter
same. We found a bar of Public Opinion
before which tyrants most quail, aed et
which the politician world be loth to stand
with sallyd hands. We erect a bulwark
for popular liberty, which no outward force
tan break through, and which: must
shield alike the groat and small. in fact
we do as set of justice too long dated by
