THE PERILS OF THE CONGRESS . ONE of the most mischievous effects upon public opinion , by which the Manchester school has , in no small degree , counterbalanced the services which it rendered by popularising the free trade principles of Bentham , Huskisson and Villiers , has been its success in lowering the tone of thought upon international obligations , and its introduction of a morality founded upon the old interrogation , " Am I my brother ' s keeper ? " Its purely passive doctrine of non-intervention makes it a matter of indifference whether a modern Cain kills an Abel , or an Abel , in self-defence , kills a Cain , and regards the objection to killing , rather as represented by and the loss
the expense of the weapon employed , of a customer for calico and tape . In the words of Mr , John Stuart Mill , it has reduced the utterance of our public men to the " eternal repetition of the shabby refrain—We did not interfere because no English interest was , involved—We ought not to interfere when no English interest is concerned . " By thus putting English interest in opposition to human interest , a moral barrier is set up between ourselves and other countries which no mere interchange of goods can overleap . That such doctrines should have obtained so much currency that few venture to speak boldly against them , is ono of the most curious facts of public psychology , and only to be accounted ibr by considering the precise circumstances of the
time . Tho mass of the people , finding themselves excluded from political power , and suffering under a debt of £ 800 , 000 , 000 , have grown apathetic , or tired of manifesting opinion which no beneficial action was to follow . _ In [ JJOO , 000 000
£ o National Debt was only * 10 , ; by 1800 it had reached £ 450 , 000 , 000 , and by 1812 , £ 670 , 000 , 000 ; from whence it rapidly rose to its present amount . The greater part of the expenditure represented by these prodigious fijrures was incurred for a policy that culrinnated in the Treaty of Vienna—a document based upon the unrighteous claims of potentates , to divide nations among them as if they were nothing bettor thnn the booty captured by a gang ; ot thieves , The people of this country sympathised with Poland , but no good came of it ; oven French aid , said to have been oflTerred by Louis Philippe ot tho beginning of bin reign , was
refused . * They sympathised with « ungary { ana found the liberal Lord Palmerston—conveniently oblivious of tho Treaty of Sssathenar— making the untruthful declaration that England only Knew Hungary as part of the Austrian Empire , and subsequently offering congratulations on the buc * cess of that great crime , the intervention ot \

THE OLD FASHIONED WbEKLT NEWSPAPER , as regards mere intelligence , is fast being superseded , and must be replaced by that still superior species of publication which is exemplified in its leading articles . The pressure of activity in all matters—but more especially in lit erary and political affairs , has created an extraordinary rapidity of utterance ; and such are the means now offered for the circulation of news , that no one is content to wait for it until the end of the week , but procures it every morning as he eats his breakfast , or rides in his railroud carriage . In compliance with tliitf remarkable necessity , on and after SATURDAY , " 7 th OF JANUARY , tho long established and intellectual paper , THE LEADEK , WILL CONSIST ENTIRELY OP ORIGINAL ARTICLES , JBT WUITISUS OF TUB HIGHEST ABILITY IN TIIEIH VAIUOU 9 FUHSUIT 8 5 and the clrarnctor of a newspapor will so far bo abandoned that nothing will bo admitted but A SPECIALLY WRITTEN ANALYSIS AND RECpKD OF Ahh THR POLITICAL . LITERARY , SCIENTIFIC . AND ARTISTIC EVENTS OF THE WEEK . The features of a Newspapor will , however , bo thus far retained , that a RECORD of the most important EVENTS will Tbo afforded , and occasionally hifchly Important and historical Documents . will bo reprinted ! for future reference . But in recording important and remarkable events , a narrative stylo will he adopted , and nothing will bo inserted that has not undergone auch revision as to ontitlo It to rank with tlio original compositions ; In truth , to
use the apt phrase of a witty modern essayist , " paste-pot and scissors will be banished from the ! sub-editor ' s room . " \ The fearless independence which has always characterised THE LEADER will be continued and carried out to the extremest limit when thus issued as A WEEKLY MAGAZINE ; and there will be no indecision in treating upon all subjects , ' POLITICAL , CLERICAL , PROFESSIONAL , LITERARY , SCIENTIFIC , and ARTISTIC , without distinction of parties or persons , on sound philosophical principles ; and without ' submission to Theological sects or Political cliques . National Progress , in its largest , widest , and roost exalted sense , is theonly cause to be justly advocated ; and although , happily , the days of revolution and violence in England are gone for ever , there are many vital questions connected with our social relations still , to be inquired into , discussed , and resolved . Calm , fearless , and conscientious consideration of these is absolutely necessary for all parties and for the welfare of the nation ; and THE LEADER AND SATURDAY ANALYST will amply and fully treat of all such with a deep sense of the responsibility that rests on their exposition , and will take care to bring the knowledge , j as well as the judgment , necessary for their satisfactory discussion . At the same time entertainment will not be banished from its columns , and its writers will rather elucidate their various subjects with the genius of worldly observation and practical knowledge than w ith the pedantry of mere scholastic erudition . The new career thus designed for THE LEADER is , indeed , only carrying out to the extreme its original intention of treating intellectually all Public and Social matters . The abandonment of the mere news , and the substitution of . . A COPIOUS SET OF ORIGINAL ARTICLES , will , it is hoped , not be displeasing either to its old Subscribers , or its new readers ; for , being newscrammed by the daily papers , it is anticipated that they must prefer to the unavoidably stale intelligence , able commentary and powerful elucidation of the topics of the week . No expense or labour will be spared in keeping together A NUMEROUS STAFF OF ABLE , INFORMED , AND INFLUENTIAL WRITERS , who will pass in REVIEW , ANALYSE , and RECORD ALL THE IMPORTANT LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS , POLITICAL EVENTS , LITERARY PRODUCTIONS , ARTISTIC WORKS , SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTS , and SOCIAL OCCURRENCES , , OF TUB WEEK . , -
