Their institutions should at first be of the utmost simplicity, cheapness, and rudeness if you please rough and ready, like their life-with provision for their gradual extension, and complexity, and refinement, as the population and wealth of their community increased. The sole restraint upon them should be that they should confine their legislation strictly to their own affairs, and that their laws should be subject to the ultimate revision of Parliament, and pending that, to temporary suspension by the Crown.

As to subdivision la, in the case of a new conquest, it would for some time require to be held by the strong hand; but provision could easily be made either for infusing our own blood into it, or incorporating it with one of our own colonies, and thus gradually assimilating it to No. 1.

Class No. 2 would require a special system of management, much more nearly resembling the present one. As long as a great convict establishment was kept up in a colony, and a large proportion of the population consisted of emancipated convicts, any government founded on the free action of the people, the unrestrained voices of free men (neither thralls nor felons) is obviously a contradiction in terms as well as in fact. It must be governed from without; and before it can be trusted with its own freedom it must go through a period of quarantine, as it were, in which its blood must be most thoroughly purged and purified of its previous contamination. It would be by no means difficult to make provision in any case for the transition of every colony from Class 2 to Class 1.

As to Class 3, the management becomes more difficult and complicated, and more dependent on the special circumstances of the case. The granting of the power of self-government to any colony of this class is rather to be deprecated than otherwise, as it will be sure to fall into the hands of the few, and thus be used for the oppression of the

many. We would far rather at once see them placed under a gentle despotism, or even under the management of the Colonial Office, strictly supervised by Parliament. Our present Colonial Office, indeed, seems rather specially devised and adapted for the management of colonies such as these, whence it naturally comes that it looks upon all the colonies as peopled by men who do not know how to take care of themselves, and require its benevolent and protecting aid.

To mixed colonies, we think our Colonial Office might be so adjusted and reformed as to become a worthy guide, protector, and guardian; and we would gladly see the whole of them, including Jamaica, placed directly under it, when it is so reformed and adjusted. It would, however, require most stringent supervision by the Parliament and people of these realms, to see that it did not become a "roi faineant," that it exercised its guardianship wisely and well-neither suffering the coloured part of the population to fall back into inde ce and savagery, nor allowing the white portion to be too lordly, and practically and injuriously oppressive.

With these few words we cease. We have in this last part rather hinted at than developed our ideas, and doubtless before they could be reduced to practice they would require the examination and discussion of many minds, the introduc tion of many modifications and of many improvements. It is one thing for a man to scheme in his closet, and quite another when he comes to put his schemes in practice in the busy stir of life, and among the shock of men. Still the theory of politics is so far from being useless, that no great practical politician ever attained success without it, and no great practical political measures or institutions ever had an abiding existence that contradicted its principles, and were not founded, knowingly or by accident, in accordance with its rules.
