THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
;V Precarious position
A Government which receives the support of barely one-third of the House does not occupy an enviable position. It is liable to be turned out at any moment upon any vital issue respecting which the parties opposed to it are in agreement. At'the best, it retains oliice only upon the sufferance of its opponents. it possesses oliice, but it possesses no legislative power. The position is one that must be exceedingly damaging to the selfrespect of any Government that is so situated.
