A proud era dawns upon the country ; the ConstittPs ticn of England, which sums party cavillers have rerrc •cnted us shaken to its base, now stands flirth obtrusive o the view in all its pristine excellence, uninjured by the itorats which have assailed it, or the machinations of con spiring enemies. The right of petition re.ted in the peo ple, bus never been so extensively acted upon, as on the Into momentous question concerning the Property-Tux. From every nook and rranny of the nation burst firth► the !Tint of opposition against the continuance of that otlio.is impost ; and Niinistera have been forced to yield what they might, with credit to themselves, have voluntarily conceded. High indeed have the present Ministers stood in our estimation; they have slilfidly steered the helm of the country through an ocean of difficulfies ; they have conducted it, with untarnished honour, into tl'e hariner of peace. Let us, however, not meanly triumph over this single error which they have committed, but, ketr ing in our remembrance, the services which they have rendered the nation in a season of imminent peril, and, with the t•,.1 conviction, that the good of the country is
