But, as the ability to peirm a wicked device is not always cOmmensuratewith the desire, the ministers of evil, hitherth driven from their main design, still, indi rectly, carry into execution their purpose whenever an opportunity offers. Thus, baffled at present ;n their at tempts upon the House of Lords, they spread ii;eir per nicious compost over every section of the laud -alele they Ire influeve, that it may fell ilise the pernicious seeds contained in it, and cause them to bring forth fruit, full of deadly poison, to aristocratic power, and, there fore, fit fur the garner Of democratic reform ; which it will be brought, as occasions offer, to,drug the parliamentiry cup of agitatimi. Of these poisonous fruits none has been more proli& in practical results of leeetlism than municipal reform. Irby it the title and the dignity of mayoralty are degraded—we no longer look up to it as the designation of a local chief magistrate — as the guardian of our civil rights—the dispenser of every day justice ; the title, truly, is tetained, and the power is retained, but. the regard fur both is lost—it is levelled — it is no longer the head of a wealthy, %veil- educated, well bred class of the community, but the name of a leader, of a vulgar, ignorant, party-serving cabal—gathered out of all ranks of soc i e ty—i n which men with most impu dence and least sense, rise to distinction. How can such a carcass, have an honout able head ? Originally, and un interruptedly, till the Municipal Reform Bill stuck a badge of disgrace upon the character—an alderman was a title of high respect—they were gentlemen of fortune, and therefore placed above temptation, to pervert justice—separated, as such functionaries ever were, and always, ought to be, front the concerns of ordinary life. Now, who are aldermen ?—a man who, every day, may be seen behind his counter, selling cotton, or ribbons — serving customers upon whom, it may be, tomorrow, he will be called to sit in judgment. This evil, we know, in a slight degree, existed under the old corporation system, and it was, in our estimation, the principal im perfection of it---but then it had this redeeming quality, that no tradesman ever became an alderman, who stood not in the first rank for wealth, and character in the town. Now his aldermanic creation depends nut upon virtue, or talent, or property—a valuable guarantee of integrity, however it may be despised by radicals-- but upon his political recklessness—if he be but pre pared to go all lengths in the destruction of existing institutions—if he have but lungs that can exceed " centunt votes"—no matter what may be his moral cha racter—he is a fit instrument for accomplishing the de signs of radicalism, and he becomes, an .alderman—and is not this levelling all distinctions ?—lowering the tone of public virtue it not a vast stride towards that democracy which borders upon the confines of anarchy itself ? And are these aims not directed to, and accom plishing, one and the same purpose ? and that purpose — equality of civil rights—the doctrine of revolutionary France—the greatest political solecism that was ever en gendered in the fervid brain of discontented man. But our object is to expose other insidious attempts, and, we are sorry to add, two successful endeavours, of our pre sent ministers, to undermine the foundations of the Bri tish Constitution, by digging away the rock of virtue, wisdom, and wealth, upon which it has stood for ages, the bulwark of our country, and the adoration of the world—supplying its place with the incoherent materials of party spirit, hungry cupidity, unprincipled ambition, and infidel liberalism. We invite attention to the subtle means employed to accomplish this design—we can per ceive! running through a great variety of, apparently, Irv:: dependent measures, this one undivided object of de mocracy—and we are the more earnest to excite Eaten (ion, because we think the public have not yet been brought to view these measures as forming parts of one plan, but have discussed each upon its own merits. The clamour has hardly ceased, with which radical dissenters demanded the introduction of this levelling system into our universities—property left for specific, and well-de fined purposes, was to be alienated from the will of testa tors—the forces of our national church were all to be broken down—and, we suppose, the divinity chair itself to be held by a Unitarian professor, to enlighten tl , e mind of theological students—destined to become lights of the Established Church—all this was levellism—a re trograde step to anarchy—and all the fruit of that anti patriotic weed political reform. Awl, lastly, to show with what consistency Ministers pursite the one object, look at the (*barter conferred o* the University of London. We forbear to say a word more on its infidel and political character, because that has already been painted by the master hands of our Metropolitan Journalists; but what a successful blow is given to honorary titles, with which, once, we associated ideas of academical learning—and though, in many in stances, it might be conferred, as a mark. of honour rather than a testimony of merit, yet there always has been blended with titular designations something men tally lofty, which served to show that talent and industry had their reward, however rank, or favour, might some times obtain it without desert. But what will be the value of such honours now ?—honours, which have the stain and odium of political corruption on them ? Who will know from what college, literary addenda have been obtained ? and A. 8., or A. M., front the London fini versify, will " become the mouth as well" as the same titles derived from Cambridge or Oxford? But, as newspapers are required to have a peculiar stamp upon them, so we would suggest to the universities to have the little additamentumpf C or 0 after the titular honours. This defence against pollution may nut, easily, be in corporated in sound, but it will furnish a distinctive character to written honours—for no one from this time forward, " will pen a sonnet" or write a " primer" below an A.M.—and every pothouse will ring with the eloquence of Doctor A., or Professor B. We think the first boon of the college, should be a universal diploma to our erudite corporation, mayor, aldermen, and town councillors, investing them with the honours of A.M.—we will give them a testimonial, if they need it, of being consummate masters of all the arts of municipal cor ruption. But let us return to this unity of ministerial design-- this fatal levelling system which is so destructively at work in every institution of the land—which if resisted in one place, immediately making an attack in another; if unsuccessful in levelling the Lords, yet successful in stripping off all dignity from municipal corporations ; if frustrated at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, yet completely victorious in the University of London and now plotting to level all qualifications for candidates fur Parliament, as well as all qualification in electors-- universal eligibility and universal suffiage the cry—thus rendering the whole system uniform. Royalty itself has received from levellisrn a more dishonourable blow ;. for, with the constitutional privilege to choose its minister*, democratic insolence hais put a constraint upon the libertY of choice. For nov a time is come to mock at form : Down, royal state!—all you sage counsellors, besot And to the English Court assemble now From every corner apes of ignorance! Now, borough sink-holes, purge you of your stuns !-' Have you a radical can prate—rave—lie — Dissemble and cabal—do ought but blush — Be happy : he will trouble you no more— England shall give him uffice—bonour—might.

Cri Ilibtrpool TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 27, 1836. THE TRADESMEN'S CONSERVATIVE ' AS'OCIATION.— F W at the Large Itulm, King's A nn , , when we understand upwards of 140 new tnetnt:ets were enrolled. We are glad to find that the hea!thy reaction in favour of con stitutional principles is still in pi ogress in this loyal town. We invite the attention Lf our readers to the ad mirable address of the society, which appears in our pre sent number. The public press has, already, commented will just severity upon the libertine spirit introduced into the Chirter of the Univers;ty of Loudon. We are arrived, it seerns, at an age so cons !Inmate in wisdom, that we no longer IA ant that old he p, and antiquate" directory of our forefathers, the Bible, or even a religion founded upon the 13thle. Reas in has su;;planted revelation, and man knows better than h's Creator what is best suited for the economy of mat ; a Id ; et we should be glad to be told, where the obligation of one moral law is to be found, when the authority of the divine legislator is rejected— human convention—tempo' - al interest—and the dread of human retribution, may, some•imes, " make man mild and sociable to man ;" but we ask, what bond can restrain the hand even of the mut-0c er, who despises the prin pie, and, by well converted stratagem, hopes to evade the .penalty of human laws ? If the death of a fellow-crea tore promised to put him in possession of something he desires, what motive can check the arm of violence? Will conscience ? Will reason, the Unitarian's boast ? What is conscience ? We answer, a creature of educa tion—a rule of action as capricious as the complexion— as variable as climate. Locke has sufficiently proved, that there is "no innate practical principle in man," and, in confirmation of this conclos.on, we quote the natural, the conscientious, and reasonable answer, if you please, of the G to a question propounded to them, and per. tinent to our present consideration—" Quodnam id jut esset, agrum a passessoribus peteri ant minari arms 1 0 " Replied—"SE IN AkMIS SUS PERIM, ET oMNIA F&)RTIUM VIROEUM ESSE." We defy the Deist, the Unitarian, or the subtlest reasoner of any other sect of Infidels, to find one moral law enforced in nature, or deducible from rea son; which carries any obligation with it, beyond the penalties to be humanly inflicted upon its violation. As the notorious Lord Walpole said, politically, in his days, so the progress of irreligion enables us to say, both politically and morally in our days, "every man has his price." Take away the security of the Bible, and you qualify man for the perpetration of every.crime. Eritrea. tion, not founded upon it, is but furnishing a cloak, and giving a refinement to moral delinquency—removing the smell from the gas of vice, which advertises us of its danger. We hare been induced to make these few preliminary observations, because there appears a systematic design pervading the country to establish what our enlightened and unholy Town Council call "secular education"— education which another of our moral-philosophy men wished to be conducted upon such relaxed principles, that every kind and denomination of believr and unbeliever should, under one roof, receive simultaneous instruction! and, approaching to which, a committee of our Corpora tian have brought the discipline of our national schools. But we leave, for the present, the question of religious, or rather irreligious, education, whether as now patronised in a Metropolitan College, or under the direction of a Municipal Corporation, and only call attention to that levellin principle, which confounds all creeds, and sweeps away all religious distinctions; and which we find in equal operation in. civil and political life " every where speaking evil of digoities," and degrading per sons—ibolishing the honourable rewards of mental la bour, and even hatching, or, as might inure appropriately be said, crucifying the shield of nobiity. • One mouth of the hydra-headed ministry proposed, in his plan of reform of the House of Lards, to allow the Peers to retain their titles, but to take from them all po litical power—a well-aimed blow of a dexterous leveller ! —and why is this hostility manifested against the union of power and title ? Why should a line of men, sprung from such honourable sources as those which Blackstor.e enumerates—" Piety, ,valour," be exclud e d rem their loug constitutional inheritancii a share is the ti
