The subjoined articles from British ournals ou universal suffrage are of special interest at this time, when the question of impartial suffrage is up for discussion before the country. They contain the views of well balanced minds on the subject, and are entitled to a careful perusal: [From the Scotsman.] Universal Suffrage Discvssf.d in England—Lord Macaulay’s Opis. loss ox Popular Demonstrations— The London Times Feelinu for the Popular Current. The following letter by Lord Macau lav, hitherto unpublished, is, though written pearly twenty-one years ago, still so appropriate at this time, and oth erwise so characteristic, that it will be read with general interest. It was ad dressed to one of his constituents here, his Lordship being at the time member for Edinburg, in reply to a letter refer ring to some remarks made by Mr. Macaulay in Parliament. The petition referred to in the letter was the monster Chartist petition, boasting of 3,000.000 signatures, presented by Mr. Duncombe in July, 1842. In accordance with the request in the opening sentence, the let ter was not printed at the time ; but there is no reason that it should not be so now: “Albany, London, Feb. 25, 1846. “Sir : Nothing can be more temperate and proper than your letter. 1 have great pleasure in answering it promptly and frankly. But I must beg that you will not send what I write to the news papers. “You do not at all shake my opinion —indeed, you confirm it. You tell me that most of those who put their names to the petition presented by Mr. Bun combe did not know what it contained. Now, I need not remind you that this was no common petition. It was de scribed as the national petition, as a man ifesto of the unrepresented millions. It was carried to Westminster with extraor dinary pomp. The procession of banners and devices stretched more than a mile. Avery unusual motion was made on that occasion in the House of Commons. It was proposed that the petitioners should be heard by their deputies at our bar. 1 think, therefore, that this was a docu ment of very great importance—a docu ment which no man ought to have subscribed without understandiug its purport. You assure me, however, that the hundreds of thousands who signed this solemn confession of political faith had never looked at it- It was so long, you say, that they could not read it. Why, ten minutes \v< u 1 have sufficed for the purpose. But ten minutes, it seems, wouid have been more than these people, who wanted.us to put the whole government iuto their hands, could spare for the consideration of a matter so grave. Rather than take the trouble of in forming themselves, they set their hands to any atrocious absurdity that was put before them by a demagogue in whom they reposed an unmerited confidence. Observe, it is you, not I, who say all this. 1 give lull credit to vonr state merit. ButVhat is the inference? Js it not this—that many, very many, of our industrious, well-meaning fellow coun trymen are not at present qualified to exercise political functions with advan tage to themselves and to the communi ty? And observe that it is for this veiy class that the Chartists claim, not a share of power, but the whole govern ment of the State. For, if universal suffrage were established, such persons as those who signed the national peti tion, without knowing what it was, would form the majority of every con fitituent body, anil would return, not ten members of Parliament, or one hundred, but all the six hundred and fifty six. Can a man of sense like you doubt on what candidates the choice of such elec tors would fall ? Can you doubt that they would give their votes, as they gave their signatures, in blind reliance on worthless leaders ? You say that our present legislators have committed er rors. No doubt all governments err; for all governments art; composed of men; and you can no more make per fect governments out of such imperfect materials, than you can make a marble palace out of bricks. But between the errors into which our Parliaments have too often fallen, and the errors of the Chartists, there is, in my opinion, a great distinction. The errors of our Parliaments, however great, have not been such as to kill the very root of na tional prosperity. On the contrary, you would, I appre hend, admit that there is a general tendency toward improvement; that civilization advances; that science makes constant progress; that many abuses which were in full force within our memory have disappeared, or are last disappearing ; that, in short, most of the changes which are made are changes for the belter. I, therefore, though I do not think our present sys tein perfect, look on it with hope and with complacency. But the Chartist system, as set forth in the national petition, would, I am certain, in no long time, reduce us to a depth of misery and degradation of which it is not easy to form an idea. It would make Great Britain, iu three generations, as barbar ous an island as Madagascar. The only chance of escape would be that THE DAILY PRESS. VOL. 111. Some Cromwell or Nopoleon might be able to establish a vigorous, orderly military despotism. But I must stop. “ 1 am, sir, your faithful servant, “T. B. MACAULAY. “ Mr. P. Anderson, 21 Lothian street. Edinburgh.” [From the London Timet, January 17. J The posthumous testimony of great uien on questions of our own day must always he received with reserve. It cannot be presumed that if they had surveyed them from the vantage ground of a contemporary position they would have seen no reason to modify their judgement. Had Chatham have lived fifty years longer, he would certain ly have recalled his dying protest against the recognition of American Independence; had Burk survived the Great War and witnessed the Thirty- Years Peace, he might have reconsid ered his estimate of the French Revolu tion ; had Canning been permitted to see the Reform Bill bear fruit in Free Trade, he would surely have retracted the chief heresy in his political creed. We must not claim any greater authority for Lord Macaulay's emphatic declara t-ion that Universal Suffrage “would make Great Baitain, in three genera tions, as barbarous an island as Mada gascar.’’ The wisest and most far sighted of men cannot forecast the possible changes of circumstances and conditions which so often falsify their prophesies. They are compelled to assume the perma nence of what they most inevitably regard as the essential laws ot human nature, but which history often shows to he dependent on variable causes. The whole letter, however, in which this opinion of Lord Macaulay is recorded, and wbicli appears iu another of our columns to-day, well deserves an atten tive study. It was written at the begin ning of 1842, in reply to one of his Edinburg constituents, who seems to have challenged some of Lord Macau lay’s remarks on the Chartist petition of 1842. His correspondent, Mr. Ander son, seems to have maintained that per sons signing that petition were not re sponsible for all that it contained, inas much as most of them bad never read it. So lame a defense is, of course, ridiculed by Lord Macaulay with char acteristic vigor. He reminds Mr. An derson that a petition bearing three million signatures, described as a national manifesto, carried to Westmin ster with extraordinary pomp, accom panied by a procession which stretched more than a mile, and ushered iu by a motion that the petitioners should be heard by their deputies at the bar. was a document of no ordinary character. “You assure me, however, that the hun dreds of thousands who signed this sol enm confession of political faith have never looked at it. It was so long, you say, that they could not read it. Why, ten minutes would have sufficed for the purpose. But ten minutes, it seems, would have been more than these people, who wanted us to put the whole government iuto their hands, could spare for the consideration of a matter so grave. Bather than take the trouble of- inform ingAhemselves,' ibey set th.ir hands to any atrocious absurdity that was put up before them by a demagogue in whom they reposed an unmerited confidence.” There is, obviously, no answer to this argument, unless it be that memorials on subjects of equal importance are constantly signed by educated men with equal recklessness. For instance, how many ot the clergymen who, from time to time, implore Convocation or the Episcopal Bench, to put down theologi cal errors have ever read, or would be capable of understanding, the book they specifically denounce? We do not un dertake to say how far this illustration weakens Lord Macaulay’s inference “that many, very many, of our industri ous, well meaning fellow countrymen are not at present "qualified to exercise political functions .vith advantage to themselves and to the community.” At all events, it is a monstrous and inde fensible mockery of petitioning for peu— 'pie to claim from Parliament, as a sa cred right, they know not what. So far the most advanced Radicals must agree with Lord Macaulay, but when he goes on to point out that on Chartist princi ples this very class would acquire the entire control of the Government, his conclusion would probably be disputed by Reformers like Mr. Mill. It can not, indeed, be denied that, if universal suffrage were established, such persons as those who signed the national petition without knowing what it was would form the majority of every con— stitutuent body, and would return, not ten members of Parliament, or a hun dred, but all the six hundred and fifty six. Such a prospect is quite sufficient to deter all reasonable men from em bracing the doctrine of universal suffrage, at least until the way thall have been prepared for it by the establishment of universal independence and universal education. Since, however, some down ward extent ion of the franchise is con templated by all parties, and all down ward cxtention is open, in its degree, to the same objection, it is important that we should not exagerate the limits of its application. One thing is beyond question—the lower we go in the social scale the less political capacity we must expect to find. It is simply impossible that the persons engaged in daily manual labor from the earliest age should possess either the knowledge or the habits of thought which are the result, not only of mental training, but of leisure, of travelling, and of a large acquaintance with the world. But these arc not the only qualifications for the exercise ot a vole, nor must it be forgotten that work ing men, like other classes, are, on the whole, the most competent judges of their own interests. Now, these in terests form a very large element in those national interests which every statesman is bound to consult, and upon this ground alone, without con sidering the legitimate influences at the command of the wealthier and more educated classes, the presumption is in favor of giving them a considerable share of representation. Happily, ex- 1 perience does not altogether warrant Lorn Macauley's conviction that "they would give their votes, as they gave their signatures, in blind reliance on worthless leaders.” It was proved last session that in some borough constituencies the working classes already command a majority, and yet no mere professional agitator has of late found his way into the House ol Commons, Desperate as the experi ment would be, we venture to doubt AUGUSTA, GA., SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 16, 1867. whether even universal suffrage would realize in this country either the hopes of its advocates or the fears of its oppo nents. Its first effect would assuredly be to increase the power of the landed interest, and it would not be surprising if it should subsequently develops a demand for a “strong Government” of a very different type from the Chartist ideal ot democracy. That idea would probably be now repudiated by the Reform League itself. Os the five points of the charter, one has been conceded, without any serious opposition, by the abolition of the prop erty qualification for nfembers of Par liameut. Two others—universal suf frage and vote by ballot—are stil retain ed in the Radical programme, though Mr. Bright has again and again relused his adhesion to the former. Annual Parliaments and the payment of repre sentatives are not, so far as we are aware, among the measures which Mr. Beales and his friends consider asseu tial to our liberties and the right of ap peal to physical force, which constituted the favorite article of the extreme Char tist creed, has been abandoned by gene ral consent. Lord Macaulay would, doubtless, have admitted that, with all their faults, the popular leaders of 1867 are less vision ary and more scrupulous than Frost and his associates. The blindness to their own interests which prevented them from including free trade amoug their claims, and rendered them perfectly insensible of a flagrant practical grievance while they clamored for the abolition of ab stract wrongs, cannot be imputed, in an equal degree, to their successors. “The errors of the Chartists” are errors of the past, but have they no parallels iu the present? Protection, in one form, may be an obsolete illusion, but are there no similar illusions cherished by our work ing classes which, if sanctioned by legis lation, would kill the very root of national prosperity ? If there be. Lord Macaulay’s counsels are still opportune. Let us gradually enlarge the basis of our Constitution, and admit to the franchise those who are likely to vote intelligently and honestly, without unworthy misgivings lest it should disturb a supposed equilibrium ofjdasses. Let us not, however, en courage theories which have no founda tion, historical, legal, or metaphysical, by entertaining any proposal to confer the rights of citizenship upon those who discharge none of its duties. .

Although there have been many med;ci nnl preparations brought before tho public since tho first introduction of Perry Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer, and large amounts expended iu their introduction, the Pain Killer has continued steadily to advance in the estimation of the world as the best family medicine ever introduced. As an internal and external remedy, it is truly a source of Joy to the World! One positive proof of its efficacy is, that the sales have constantly increased, and upon its own merits, as the proprietors have Dot resorted to advertising to gain for it the rank it now holds among Li e great number of preparations of tho present time. The eflect of the Pain Killer upon the patient, when taken internally in cases of Colds, Coughs, Bowel Complaints, Choleia, Dys entery, and other affections of tho system, has been truly wonderful, and has won for it a, name among medicinal preparations that can never be forgotten. Its success in removing pains, as an external remedy, in cases of Burns, Bruises, Sores, Sprains, Cuts, Stings of insects, and other causes of suffering, has secured for it such a host of testimony, as an almost infallible remedy, that it will be handed down to posterity as one of the greatest medical discoveries of the nineteenth century. The magical ef fects of the Pain Killer, when taken or used according to directions, are certain. You have only to be sure that you buy the genuine article and adhere to the directions in its use, and you will admit its wonderful medicinal properties. The genuine Perry Davis’ Pain Killer is now put up in panel bottles, with the words Davis' Vegetable Pain Killer blown in the glass; and with two steel engraved labels on each buttle—one an excellent likeness oi Porry Davis, the original inventor of the medicine, the other a steel engraved note of hand. None others can be relied upon as genuine. Prices of bottles 12£ cents, 25 cents, 50 cents, and sl, respectively. Valuable 3fedicii>e —Wc presume no medical preparation over offered to the pub lic has been more thoroughly tested than PERRY DAVIS’ PAIN KILLER. Thou sands of persons, were they called upon to do so, would cheerfully testify that they have used it for various ills, with tho most satisiactory success. It is within our own knowledgo that an immense amount of suf fering has been relieved by it. Its pro prietors, Messrs. Perry Davis & Son, save no pains or expense in order to satisfy tho fublic. Being strictly honorable men, they observe tho utmost uniformity in the man ufacture of their celebrated Pain Killer. The materials of which it is composed are carefully selected—none but the best quality being used. By these means the high repu tation which the Pain Killer has long since acquired is, at all times, triumphantly sus tained. In view of these facts, we are by no means surprised to learn that Messrs. Davis <fc Son’s sales are constantly and rapidly increasing. While we congratulate our friends generally that so valuable a preparation as the Puin Killer is placed within their reach, wo must be permitted to rejoice at tho well-merited success of its liberal and outerprising proprietor.—J\ovi dence General Advertiser, Sold by all Medicine Dealers. de2B—2m* NO. 40.
