TIM LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, MARCH 23, 1852. similar, THE MINISTRY, THE OPPOSITION, AND THE DEMAGOGUES. "SATIRE," says SWIFT, "is reckoned to be the "easiest of all wit; but I take it to be otherwise in "very bad times; for it is as hard to satirize well " men of distinguished vices, as to praise well men "of distinguished virtues." Those who attempt to treat as it deserves the conduct of the motley Opposition that now assail the Ministers, will not dispute the opinion of the Dean. After the Ministry have fully and repeatedly declared that they only await the measures absolutely necessary to carry on the Government and defend the nation, that they may appeal to the country, they are asked to declare upon what question they will make the appeal, and to inform the Opposition exactly at what moment the appeal will be made. They are reminded of opinions, and pelted with former professions. Men who never kept a promise become suddenly eloquent about political faith. Men who dare not look at their own speeches or letters of six months old, courageously open Hansard, the very sight of which was their terror while in office. The champions of consistency are the Duke of NEWCASTLE, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, an d—guis tulerit gracchos ?—Sir JAMES GRAHAM ! There is not in England any man devcid of violent prejudice or some selfish motive, and of sane mind, who does not understand the fairness and candour of the declarations of Lord DERBY. Those who preceded him fell by their own complete incompetency. Lord JOHN RUSSELL lost office plainly and clearly because he had not the ability to discharge its duties. In the whole history of England, no other Prime Minister but one went out from mere incapacity, and he had the candour to acknowledge it, and not to attempt a return to a position nature had unfitted him to hold. The Earl of DERBY, on the hopeless and complete destruction of the late Government—he having hut recently refused office—is sent for by the Queen, and undertakes to advise his Sovereign. He knows the Parliament—called while Free Trade was yet an experiment—is against him, and he admits it. He undertakes to ask the people of the Empire if they are content that he remain in power; and the inconsistent, factious, and dishonest place hunters demand a programme of policy to be laid before a dying Parliament. They quote the saying of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, that Sir ROBERT PEEL was bound to resign office or to declare his future principles, and they pretend to apply this to the state of the present Govern ment. The cases are very different. Sir ROBERT PEEL had just publicly and suddenly abandoned the principles on which the country had returned him to power, and he had done so in the face of a Parliament by which he had been kept in office. It was, therefore, necessary to have a full declaration of the new principles he intended to adopt pro tern. The present *Ministers have been called into power when they neither hoped nor expected it, and that by a vote of a Parliament hitherto occasionally supporting Lord JOHN RUSSELL. It would indeed require one to see with the eyes of the Whigs, and feel their dis- appointment, before the cases would appear at all On one subject the Opposition are particularly sensitive—the reference of the Earl of DERBY to the influence of demagogues, and his determina- tion to control it. This question, indeed, is a pressing one with such aspirants to power as the Opposition, and the Earl of DERBY is the first Minister of a free State that has had the courage to announce his intention of dealing with so great ai evil—an evil that has exercised the speculation of the greatest minds, from Lord BACON to Lord BROUGHAM, but with little active result. Lord BROUGHAM, coinciding in his great predecessor's opinion of "leagues in a State," which make the Government itself " tanquant unus cx nobis," has given a fair estimate of the influence of mobocracy, as distinguished from democrat.-, in his sketch of the French Revolution. It is valuable, as from the pen of a man who himself had wielded the will of the people in a stormy period, and given the pure example of being a popular leader with out becoming a demagogue—fighting against oppressive privileges, with a wholesome honour all the while of the Civium ardor prala jubentium The numbers of the ill-intentioned," says Lord " may be very inconsiderat BROUGHAM, the tendency of extreme opinions, when zealously propagated, because fanatically entertained, is always to spread, and the disposition of the re spectable and peaceable classes is ever to be in active, sluggish, indifferent, ultimately submissive." "The tendency of great meetings of the people,'' he continues, "is twofold—their numbers are always exaggerated both by the representations of their leaders and by the fears of the bystanders. and the spectacle of force that they exhibit, and the certainty of the mischief which they are capable of doing, scares all who do not be long to them. Hence, the vast majority of the people afraid to act remain quiet, and give the agitators the appearance of having no adversaries." These lines, strange as it seems, are not written of the events of the last ten years, but of the first French revolution. No man can abut his eyes to the evil described; but the question of the remedy is still to come. Politics and medicine differ in the applicability of the maxim that to know the disease is half the cure. If, however, we are not content to have every interest of the Commonwealth de stroyed by a class who can only exist in times of trouble, we must be prepared to see whether the regimen adopted by the late Government towards the unfortunate dupes who believed its once pro fessing and acted upon them may not advantage ously be extended to a class more powerful and mischievous. One thing is certain, that the system of itinerant agitation such as that by which the Anti-corn Law League invaded peaceful agri cultural districts, diatributing bribes in money and blankets to the labourers, to make a jacquene, is a clear crime against public policy and the general good. With such expedients of agitation, the Ministers are hard to deal. Those who take so great office as the Government of the first of nations have, to use the words of Lord BACON' " No easy task ; but that is ever for the good of tie public." How Lord DERBY is to carry out in detail his declaration as to demagoguism a little time will show; and whatever may be said of the next election and the questions involved, those questions, in our humble judgment, will qe some thing much higher than Protection or Non-protec tion. They will be evidently those of " order," — word that whatever it may mean in continental politics, is assuming an all-important significance in England.

It affords the most complete Security to the Employer, and at the same time preserves the independence of the employed.

UNIVERSITY INIELLIOENCE.—We have great pleasure in extracting the following from the Cambridge Chronicle of Saturday last :—" Trinity College, English Declama tion Prize, awarded March 20,—' On the causes which have confined the influence of the Reformation to the North of Europe.'—Bramley-Moore." Mr. Moore, as it will be inferred from his name, is the son of our distin guished townsman and ex-mayor, the present candidate for the representation of Hull. We beg to congratulate the young gentleman on a distinction which is likely to influence favourably his professional life. The Bristol papers state, "on good authority," that the Lord Bishop has, by a deed of gift, conveyed the whole of his interest in the Her&ld Manor to five trustees, for Ole benefit of small livings in the diocese of Gloucester And Bristol.

TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 23, 1852 REPRESENTATION OF LIVERPOOL. IN our last, we had the pleasure of announcing that two Conservative candidates were about to offer themselves for Liverpool ; men of high stand ing, and universally esteemed. We also mentioned that a meeting would be held on the following day, to adopt a requisition ; and a report of this meeting will he found in another part of our paper. We were not prepared, however, for the enthusiasm and unanimity which that meeting exhibited ; feelings which were certainly more necessary, but not so much expected, after the recent attempts to sow disunion amongst Conservatives. It was delightful to see a man of high standing, like Mr. ADAM HODGSON, volunteering to sink a certain difference of opinion, that he might support the promoters of good government generally, and the defenders of our Constitution. The following is a copy of the requisition : TO WILLIAM FORBES MACKENZIE, ESQ., M.P., AND CHA RLES TURNER, ESQ. We, the undersigned electors of the borough of Liver pool, feeling the necessity of supporting the administration of the Earl of Derby at this peculiar crisis of affairs, and having confidence in your general and commercial know ledge, and in your attachment to the principles of our constitution, do hereby respectfully and earnestly request that you will permit us to put you in nomination, as candidates to represent this town in parliament at the ensuing election ; and we undertake to use every exertion to secure your triumphant return. The requisition has already obtained a large number of signatures, and those who wish to add their namee, should endeavour to do so with all speed. Some are desirous of hearing the statements of the members in the first instance ; but the requi sition is only a necessary means to procure them that opportunity. Respecting Mr. CHARLES TURNER, our-excellent townsman, calumny itself is silent. It has long been a sort of acknowledged principle in Liverpool, (on what ground, we are at a loss to conjecture, un less it be through petty jealousy i ) that none of our merchants need present himself as a candidate for parliamentary honours in his own town ; but Mr. TURNER seems to be admitted, even by his political opponents, to be an honourable and worthy exception, as Mr. T. B. HORSFALL would also have been, had he permitted himself to be put in nomination. The fact of Mr. FORBES MACKENZIE having voted for the Maynooth question in 1845 is raked up against him by some of our contemporaries, for getting, as they make it a point of doing, that this fact was frankly and voltintarily stated by himself. His retraction of that unworthy vote, or rather his desire to retract it, is, however, the head and front of his offending. In the Albion of yesterday a cor respondent quotes from the Scotsman, to the effect that, of 568 names in the Peebles county list of voters, 216 were faggot voters. The writer seems to forget that faggot voters support the " liberal" policy all over the country, and that the 240 votes on the side of the successful candidate would leave the whole 216 foreigners and more to the defeated opponent. Of Mr. CARDWELL, there can be but one opinion among honourable men. The question is not whether Whigism or Toryism is the better, but whether, on any side, for any party, among any set of men, he is a fit and proper representative. Is it forgotten that he made his friends, Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE and Mr. LOCKETT, innocent instruments in his premeditated deception, when he stated certain convictions on the Navigation Laws, which he afterwards laughed at his dupes for believing ? Let the Roman Catholic supporters of Mr. CARDWELL beware ! The man who has bought and sold persons more enlightened than they, will not spare them when he can obtain his price, either by place or public favour. Of Sir THOMAS BIRCH, we scarcely know what We are told that he has resigned ; and again, that he has not resigned ! A deputation to say. states that he expressed his willingness to retire ; but certain others assert that, in the announcement, there were nearly as many lies as lines ! One thing is clear, that they are a truthful and honour- able set for any man to trust to ; and that if the evil genius of Sir THOMAS place him again under their auspices, he will have a pretty bed of roses to repose upon. It is a very pretty quarrel as it stands. Our counsel to the Conservatives is now as be fore—to be united and active, and they have nothing to fear. And especially, let them avoid divisions, whether fomented by indiscreet friends within or avowed enemies without. MR. J. BRAMLEY-MOORE AND THE REPRESENTATION OF HULL. DURING the past week we have not failed to notico a discreditable side-wind attack on our distinguished towns man, Mr. Bramley-Moore. An obscure paper in Hull, the organ of democrats and radicals, sneers at the idea of his becoming their representative ; and its remarks we are sorry to see have been quoted by some of our contem poraries here ; but a man who has stood A I in a town that could swallow the whole municipality of Hull, with out feeling much the fuller, can afford to smile in return. In the debates of our Town Council, we have always ad mired the dignified and gentlemanly course that Mr. Bramley-Moore pursued ; and the following out of a simi lar course in parliament would certainly and suddenly ensure him universal respect. When our principal chari ties were at a low ebb, he became their patron ; and not merely were their liabilities honourably discharged, but a large sum was funded for the permanent benefit of each. During his year of mayoralty, he held a reception at the Town-hall Rooms, unique in character and most admir able for all its arrangements ; he also entertained the learned societies of the town, inviting the Archaeological Association to meet them, which was then holding its congress at Chester. When poor Mr. Ramshay had the whole public in full cry after him, Mr. Moore, who was an utter stranger to him, urged that at least the Town Council should not appear in the character of accusers; and about the same time he was one of the few men in our Council who advocated such arrangements for the recep tion of the Queen, as would have been at once correct and creditable. Some of those who opposed him at the time, afterwards apologised in their places, and regretted that his suggestions were not carried out. If the people of Hull do not elect him, they will require, but certainly not deserve, the sympathy of the public. The following is from the Hull Packet of Saturday : " We are happy to have it in our power to state that the resolution inviting Mr. John Bramley-Moore, of Liver pool, to become a candidate for the representation of Hull at the ensuing election, has received the hearty and gene ral approval of the great Conservative party in this town. The letters of all the well-informed and unprejudiced merchants 10 Liverpool concur in the opinion expressed by Mr. Beadle last week—" that we may search the king dom through without finding a gentleman better fitted to serve us in Parliament than Mr. Bramley-Moore." Nay, we believe we are justified in saying, that so valuable are Mr. Moore's business and personal qualifications, that not a few of the leading Liberals in this town object to take any share in opposing his election, but, on the con trary, cordially reciprocate the feeling manifested at the Conservative meeting last week, and will rest satisfied with his return, along with Mr. Clay. Whether the Conservative party—decidedly the preponderating ono in the town—nitimately determine upon putting forward one or two candidates, we look upon this one thing as quite clear—that Mr. Bromley-Moore wilt be returned as one of the members for DR. M'NEILE'S EXPLANATORY LETTER. 1 IN our last, we announced the expressed inten tion of Dr. APNEILE to write a letter on the sub ject of recent misunderstandings, for the benefit of those who attached much importance to hii indi vidual opinion. That letter has been published, and appears in our columns to-day. To us the writing of this letter was quite unne cessary; for the sake of others, it is as well that it has been done. We never misunderstood for a moment the motives which actuated Dr. M'NEILE in writing his well-known letter of the 6th of February, for the principal facts which influenced him we knew intimately, and there was not on line in it which was inconsistent with his high character, as an individual or as a champion of Protestantism. There were others, with as good intentions undoubtedly as our own, who did not see it in its true light, probably from deficiency either in knowledge or in correct perception. Some of our contemporaries, too, believed, or affected to believe, that there was a serious Protestant defec tion; though there is not a single point in his first letter which admits of such an interpretation, The writers of the latter class are now cele brating a sort of ovation ; as if the Rev. Gentle man had made a most serious mistake, they had then called him to order, and, after his making a most abject apology, they are graciously pleased to receive him again into favour. If Dr. M'NEILE can relish a left-handed compliment of this kind, we can only say that his taste differs very widely from- our own. The whole dispute resolves itself into two Brea. • Ist, Is it allowable in any circum. stances to postpone the assertion of an importan principle; and 2dly, if so, were the circumstance; on the Gth of February of this kind ? " who takes the trouble to go through Dr. NPIN letter wi.l see that to these two points every line has reference, directly or indirectly ; anc made: EILE'n in our article which was published a week before ; these were precisely the points that we discussed. In reference to the first principle, the Govern. went of the country affords us at this moment a remarkable illustration. Lord DERBY and his ••••i friends are Protectionists, yet they avoid coming into collision with their opponents on this subject; and while some endeavour to goad them to a pre mature strife, by representing that they are either " Protectionists or impostors," they give us to understand that they will not force the subject upon us, even with a small majority. Let those who will, bewail about a "standard-bearer fainting," or about "desertion of principle," for ourselves we are thankful for the wisdom that regulates that decision. Some of the clergy in Portarlington and the neighbourhood had prepared to resist Colonel DUNNE, as many among us would have resisted Lord JOHN MANNERS; but they found that though he did not "go far enough," they could do no better, and therefore he was re-elected without opposition. Mr. ADAM HODGSON is a free-trader. yet, without any sacrifice of principle, joins those who are not so; and Dr. M`NEILE showed, in hi° letter of March the 2nd, that the editor of the Record admitted, in one of its applications, the very principle which he opposed in another. Of cot rse every one fi ms his own idea respect- Ing the importance of particular questions; and points of difference are in general spoken of as relatively minor, though often they are absolutely of vital importance. The.sccond principle is one on which men differ more widely and more readily than on the first. Our own opinion was that the difficulties were greater than Dx and we hinted as delicatel M`NEILE estimated them, as possible at this point, without betraying the secrets of the camp:— " We are hardly in a position to prescribe twenty articles for the creed of a Liverpool M.P., when we are iitting to men with o::ly ten, and when those of fifteen are slow of appearing. Those who talk out of doors, do not know all the Points whEre the shoe pinches." In further illustration of tl ais, we may also men- tion that one of the present candidates is so in consequence of a lucky accident. Whether the tion of Dr. WNEILE'S letter, after its prae meal, were either necessary or wise, we need public not now discuss; but in the two great principles of it we coincided thoroughly from the first, and never more earnestly than now We refer our readers to the eighth, ninth, and tenth paragraphs in Dr. AP.NEILE's recent letter; every sentiment of which is in harmony with what we have already written and still hold. In the face of all these facts, our neigh bour the Courier says, laughing in his sleeve we presume, " The Courier is, after all, the represents the Reverend only paper that trail, Doctor's views !! !" Our readers and the pub lic generally will form their own opinion on the y and veracity of this elegant extract. We g lungs who, in sounding his modest h the man strop own trumpet, has such a brazen one as this to use; and we beg to congratulate the Rev. Canon on having at length graduated in so distinguished a . . . _.•• CA school of politics. The Courier also adds, Dr. M`NEILE " does-'not go along with the Standard,—which we are sorry to see manifesting a laxity of principle on this subject not at all in accordance with the sound Protestant feeling that once characterised it." Now, in re ference to the first ofjhese points, the concurrence of a distinguished man is agreeable, and its ab sence is in some degree dispiriting; but we have always proposed to ourselves a higher and nobler object than the despicable one of chiming in with, or playing second fiddle to, any man in existence. We advocate a principle, believing it to be right, or we oppose it, believing it to be wrong; and were Dr. 11/PNEILE a mitred archbishop or a toiling curate, MARCELLUS in exile, or CIESAR with the senate at his heels, our course would be the same. We are not aware of any instance, during our connexion with the Standard, in which his views have differed essentially from our own ; and we have formed a wrong judgment indeed of his character, if he do not estimate at its proper value, the toadyism that would atone for the gross blunder of attempting to lift him before he fell. To the main point of the quotation, we might simply reply, res non verba. There is not a fact or argument to warrant such a statement, though, from our contemporary's erroneous estimate respecting Protestant prin ciples, we can easily account for his making an assertion so widely at variance with the fact. We have no right to interfere with him in advertising his paper when, or where, or how he pleases ; but we distinctly object to his libelling at the same time. We do not allow the Roma • to rob the decalogue of the second command nor can we permit a Protestant Dissenter to abrogate the ninth. We submit, with great - spect, that it is both an awkward and •an unusual method of establishing claims to superior sanctity, to begin by bearing false witness against one's neighbour i Our contemporary has given us more than sufficient opening if we wished to retali ate, but we prefer to act merely on the defensive; and we have confidence that he will endeavour to avoid wronging us in future. . _
