MR DISRAELI ON ENGLAND'S FUTURE.

As to the future, says the Saturday ' Review, Mr Disraeli is in the. highest .degree Mysterious and fcerrifyiaig. " He delights ia painting impending norrors, and he seems to wish his Glasgow hearers, Ito believe that they would shortly hare to • choose at the sword's.point between a Eed Republic and an Ultramontane despotism. They need not make the'inielres particularly uneasy. The way to combat anarchial forces is to show that we are not afraid of them. The jmperiat policy of England is to repress Vigilantly and quietly, but with the utmost determination both lied fiepiiblicans" and''Ultram'ohtanes;' and .a5..,-,ninety-nine"Englishmen out of a hundred are respired to'u'phbld". this policy, they may" rely on effaoting. , their object. The very.thiug that (Jltramontanes, and; perhaps, ied flepublicaai ' —although we hear so little of the latter . here that we know nothing about thornmost desire, is to inspire' the belief that they are possessed of a mysterious, awful," v -v' and secret power, and that a sort of battle of Armageddon may be erpeoted to begin at any moment. This is an advantage which Mr Disraeli is far too ready to concede to them. vlt is only necessary, to look <the Ultramtntahes in the face, and they will be found to be not such very terrible beings after all.'; '■■'■'■ •• , The Examiner is glad of Mr Disraoli's criticisms, i'bey will help to keep'our leaders up to the mark. They will help; above all, to keep alive the cry for careiul and departmental administration,, which is has been the aim of nearly all the leading supporters of the present Ministry to hush up. Mr Lyon Playfair will be all the better for the existence of such a thorn in the side of the Tory oliieft&in. Mr Lowe,whom no one will aceuseof dulneas, will not be slow to loam the lesson of Mr Disraeli's sarcasm; and tho lesson will do him good. Liberals in general may learn much from Mr.Disrael's gimcraok epigrams'and tawdry rhetorical finery. Conservatives migut alio learn —if they would but learn—the futilityof their endeavours. The Tory article says he hears a ''moaning wind," and attributes it to the Spirit of tho Age.' It appear to us rather as the moan of despair raised by the discomfited host of darkness and oppression over the cause whioh they feel they:haveloat. ;; <; ''*/,'■ ■■■• j
