I propose, ustead of leaving the whole of our vast colonial interests to the government of a parantually shifting secretary of state, thil x Co. lonial Buurd should be formed somewhat similar to the Trousury and Admiralty Beard, and that it be constituted as follows
A secretary of state for the colonies as a pro ment, but not representing the military department fir the cabinet during war. The secretary of state to be (if possible) » puer, and to have the nomina tion of the under, secretary for the colonies (a mem: ber of the house of commons), who retires with him on every change of adminstration: the con currence of the canmet, as well as the authority of the King, however, being considered dovessary to his appointment.
2. Two permanent under-secretarias of stato for the colonnes appointed by the crown, on the nomination of the secretary of state, but with the concurrence of the cabinet holding office quandif 55 bene gesserint, and selected with reference to their
general and local knowledge of coloniul affairs. The colonies in the eastern hemisphere to be plnoed under one of these secretarica, and those in the western hemisphere under the other.

We will, therefore, proceed to a consideration of our system of colonial government, and to the reforms projected therein A perusal of the first- chapter, and of the history, from which its facts form of domestic government, for all our transma- are derived, will render it obvious that one definite rine possessions, would be utterly absurd : he who would attempt to apply the same system of rule to different communities, in different stages of civili- zation, would find himself most grievously disap- pointed in his anticipated results. Free institu tions, as I have elsewhere remarked, are the slow and progressive growth of ages and assisted in the commencement of this chapter only to be retained by a people exercising a free will, in due subjection to a calm and enlightened rensou. Spain, and other countries, afford painfully demou- strative proof, that a benal constitution will not suit all nations at the that instead of n free went being a bor comes B Curug by altendant anu diraj case of the South Ar be not desire
