CELTIC UNFITNESS FOR POPULAR
Ten a
GOVERNMENT.
I cannot belp fancying that the character- istics of the Celtic races (for instance) are really inconsistent at present with the pos session of representative institutions and free press. The bot temper,
the poetical
imagi thebility, and t nation that can be roused to pathusiason or lashed into fury, by an eloquant speech or a sensasional newspaper article, anill reason is lost sight of and prudence is thrown to the windy, appear to me quite antagonistic to
by which these principles
alono-popular-in- stitutions Livs beon found to succeed. Franes and Ireland may be atacated up to such inalitutions in time, but Frenchmen and Irishen seem to mo hardly fit to be trusted with such dangerous, weapons at present.- From An Autumn Tour in the United States, and Canada," by J. G. Medley.
