The entering wedge. Mr. Ewart, of Liverpool, will bring before Parliament a law to create Peers for life only. The very mention of such a daring innovation in the feudal oligarchy of England, will cause her sepulchred barons to start from their cerements, and the living occupants of the old time worn palaces of her lords to think the world is coming to an end. A blow like this would uproot the accumulated parchments and emblazonments of centuries and more than any other event shake the British empire to its foundations. But unless that blow be struck she never can be free.-Star.
