Excerpt from England, Germany and Europe
Never has there been so sudden a change in the complexion Of a nation as that which took place among us during the first days of August. One week we saw nothing but confusion, irresolution, pro crastination; party spirit enraged to an unknown degree the very foundations of the State undermined, the House of Commons, which is the mainspring in our institutions lamed, civil war imminent. For the first time within the memory of man the authority Of Parliament was Openly challenged by men in arms. The discipline of the Army had become a question of party politics and men threatened to throw into the cauldron the Crown itself. Look where one would there was no escape, no solution of the unprecedented entanglement. A few days passed and the voice of faction was dead the two Houses of Parliament'at harmony within and united with each other showed themselves to be representatives of a united nation, and for the first time since the death of Pitt we heard from the Treasury Bench in clarion tones the authentic voice of England.
