LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY it.

le it not a little too early for the knot of reac-
tionary Wbigs whom Mr. Gi.sneross's speech has
so rudely disenchanted, to announce the response of
the great Liberal Party to the Cirawczuza's in-
spiriting appeal? When they have a little recovered
from their disappointment they will find that they
have enough to do for the present to resolve where
to bestow their own precious selves. For five years
they have been living easily at the expense of the
Liberal Party, consuming its political capital and
adding nothing to its income, and had pretty well
exhausted its vitality. When Mr. Gunsross
made his speech it was notorious that they
had brought the fortunes of the party
to the verge of ruin. It is not that speech,
but their own astounding folly and infidelity, that
bad made them well-nigh houssless and homelier.
The end was equally at hand whether he spoke or
kept silence. The first question for them now, we
repeat, is where they shall seek refuge : but it is
oneof strictlypereonal interest. Totbe liberal cause
it is a matter of perfect indifference whither they
may betake themselves, so long as they are not
again placed in positions to betray it. Just now
they are rashly and inconsiderately instructing their
sorry scribes to protest that they will never no,
never, follow Mr. GLansroxr, andthey aredialress-
ingly angry with Mr. FOIST= for saying that they
will have to do so or go over to Mr. Etisaimi.
Unless they are men utterly without foresight,
they must have long since expected the day when
the reformers and the anti-reformers of Parliament
should sit on different sides of the House under
their appropriate leaders. It would be interesting
to know by what personal combinations they have
dreamed of keeping up an organized hypocrisy
pledged to oppose liberal measures. Everybody
knows the very peculiar circumstances which of
late have rendered such a strange phenomenon '
possible, and for the last six months or more every-
body has been saying that it could not be kept up
much longer. It was in fact dying the most
natural of deaths, from infirmity and decay. We
foresee that before two years are past the very men
who are now foremost in denouncing Mr. GLAD-
noire will be creeping under his gaberdine
for shelter, and trying to share the credit
of his Reform. There is no risk in such a pro-
phecy, if it deserves the name, for these 'tardy
patriots are resolved that under no common cir-
cumstances shall the country be deprived of their
services in places of treat.

It is curious to note the clumsy and ludicrous
devices by which the organs of reaction attempt
to create a prejudice against Mr. GLADOTON; and
the policy he revives. Mouthing a foreign jargon,
our angry Pharisees are trying to frighten
Englishmen with • bugbear. If we may believe
them, the CHAZICELLOS of the Excii EQO6II is ROM-
SPIEIOLE, TOM PILLig, and ANARCHARSUI CLOOTZ,
all in one. Re can intend nothing lea than to
bring in universal suffrage, with anarchy, national
bankruptcy, confiscation of private property, and
we suppose the guillotine in its train. Alas
for these forlorn alarmists, for them there is no
such hope. If their denunciation could have ruined
the few men on whom the country relies to lead
it in the path of progress, they would have done
so long ago, for it is their old trade. But the
country recognises in Mr. Gummier the most
practical of all its statesmen. Session after
session for the last five years it has looked to him
for the useful measures necessary to redeem the
discussions of Parliament from the reproach of
absolute barrenness. And it has never looked in
vain. A series of masterly and triumphant budgets,
the French Treaty, the Annuities Bill—by these
the administration of Lord Pm-salamx will be
remembered when much which is of dubious merit
in its character is charitably buried with its bones.
When we are told that the " historical Liberalparty
of this country will disown Mr. Gisnwroxx and his
principles because of last Wednesday's speech, we
can only smile at the presumption into which people
may be betrayed by strong passions and weak
memories. In these days, when men live fast, a
public writer may perhaps be excused for forget.
ting what happened so long as eleven years ago ;
but among readers there will be some who re-
member that the very extension of the fran-
chise now supported by Mr. Gtantrross
was first recommended to Parliament under
the Earl of ABE/WIEN, Sir G. C. Law's, Sir
JAM= GRAHAM, and Lord HIIISIIT. The great
Liberal party would have become " historical "
indeed if it had got so far from its former posi-
tion that the opinions of even those statesmen
seemed of revolutionary redness from that which it
now occupies. But in fact it has done nothing of
the kind. And a writer must have no email au-
dacity, native or acquired, who, with Wednesday's
division before his eyes, showing that 216 Mem-
bers of Parliament were supporters of a six-pound
franchise, could pretend that the great majority
of the Liberal party had changed its mind on the
subject of Parliamentary Reform. It seems
from these absurd outpourings, that the reac-
tionary faction which so long bestrode the Liberal I
party is not yet out of its fools' paradise. In-
stead, however, of vainly trying to keep up the I
old illusion, and affecting to prescribe • course to
the party they have ruined, the members of that
faction would do wisely to look around them and
consider their own situation before they find them-
selves without a roof to shelter them or a rag to
cover their nakedness.
