THE BHETJMATIC « OLD NOBILITY . " A 'tbjjeitoeia . Ii aristocracy is the mainstay of a nation , says a distinguished political theorist , —it is the source of chivalrous spirit , tlie exemplar of high .-ininded patriotism , the hereditary leader of tho people against the enemies of the state . "! Letj laws and learning , " writes another practical philosopher , of the same school , — " Let laws and learning , arts and commerce , die , Buj ; leave us still pur old nobility . "
And although that process of extinction would restore us to the Middle Ages , something is to be said in favour of the proposition . If an old nobility , however , has lost the influence which it has bo ample opportunity of making and retains ing , it mufct be that it has lost its virtue . A no * biHty should be quick in honour , bold in act , open-hdnded to dependents . A nobility that preaches tho " buy in the cheapest and sell in the dearest market" doctrine ; fjiat is tho one super-excellent example in vacillation ; that truckles to victorious baseness . - ^ -that nobility is one which has trodden off its own spurs , broken its sword , stained its escocheon .
Of all adventurers to challenge the resentment of an old nobility , Louis Napoleon is tho most conspicuous . The post ho holds is his by no right of birth j he attained it by disloyalty ; he holds it in defiance of right . What , then , makes tho sons of our " old nobility" succumb to him P Why does Stanley of Derby cry " HushT'to F / nglish indignation , lest tho advonturer take offoncoP It was not in that spirit that his anccstrcfl 8 , tho illustrious Countess of Derby , dor fonded tho littlo domain of her house against Fairfax and all the troops of tho Parliament ; stood out for royal right , even after despair had
seized overy other in tho land ; and was the last to yield , as she had been foremost to lead . She did not quail before the English Commonwealth . Has tho spirit of the house of Stanley sunk below the jLorol of that bravo woman—so low , that a eon of her lino counsels his countrymen to hold their peace boforo a French usurper P Jt was not in that spirit that John Kussoll won hiB peerage and the Earldom of Bedford : he had no objection to take Frenchmen in the fjold , whatevor tho odds J and has he transmitted the broad lands of Woburn , a narao , and a title , without tho spirit that won and sustained thorn P It sur » prises Englishmen to see a minister , who dpes not forget the dignity of hia kinsman William , © yen in ,, adversity , who bears the very name of
: Crecy and' Poitiers * , Agiiicourt and . Waterlog , are ayjenged , ; tJiur ; " oldnofeility ^ begs . off another trial of it 3 mettle . '; ; ' .
