but there are none like him left to chant the praises
of bigotry and folly and tyranny. The other literati of
the school have sown their wild oats, and taken to
docent courses. Even Mr. SMYTaII has bit a in-
ist:ain "Historic Andes" sad writes geed
in the columns of a ourepspe. Like the
Leto MAYOR'S men in armour, the most asesible et
our Young England party have pat eV their pow
ply and comport themselves as peaseable Christisaa
But Lord JOHN MANNYAS will not be cored. He
still tilts at windmills. He still sings, as of old:

Oh ! would some noble dire again to rain
The feudal banner of forgotten days,
And lire, despising slander's barmier hate,
Me potent rider of !Woolly state.
He still longs for the time when

Freed from these, her galling amine,
The church her long expansiveness regains;
And, unrestrained by iwortssaiss's jealous laws,
Msy dare to advocate her own good came.
110 still glories in " hanging over" the tomb of the
tyrant and blockhead JAMES H., and "praying"
- -

That our dear country's sin maxi,. forgiven /
And of such a bard, their only remaining bard, the old
ladies of England are to be robbed.

He hu gone to the " Forest."
His loss there's no counting:
He has stopped his rhymes " fountain."
When their need was the sorest
But if the old ladies lose, who will gain ? Is the
IQUIES likely to find a very devoted servant in a
mien river who is always blubbering over the
161161d11110. of the STuarrs? Is she likely to re-
joice much in the services of a writer who is for ever
bewailing the fate of our " latest rightful kings,"
meaning thereby those incarnations of despotism and
folly, the STUART'S? Fancy the following verse being
the production of a cabinet minister. He is speaking
of Avignon, and says :

The losf of England's rightful kiop
Found here a foreign horse—
Condemned by treachery and fraud
From England's shores to roam.
A pretty." dainty dish" of treason " to set before
Inc Qum", is the poetical "pie" of her MAJESTY'S
CHIEF COMMISSIONER OF WOODS AND FORESTS! As

we have said, he would have you believe that he is
for ever blubbering over the low of our "rightful
kingL" He can't go into St. Peter's at Rom waled
shedding tears over the tyrant's tomb, and strain
his country for ridding herself of such a man—
Fu from thy shores, dithonostrod England, lie
These mournful relies:
the bones, namely, of JAMES.
Of Prince CIIARLE24, who brought
jflro and sword
'into the land to dispossess her ESTI% ONOOlier
front the throne, he snip :

And lam a second Cram, though with far a hear dm,
Pared o'er a mooed Rubicon to urge a worthier claim.
Her MLitt:ll7's ancestor is styled in analbsr
The dull ankingly ruler or a patty German town—
and there is much mourning and lamentation over
" England's gentleman" and England's peers, for not
taking advantage of precious hours—
That might hays plaoad Jars etaart's son
Oa Ragland's earnest thecae.

Is it comely that this man should be allowed to
sing the corona& of the &memo in her Me.itorl's
ante-chambers
It will be said, however, doubtkas, that it is rather
hard to judge a man by e:peem•ons he has made use
of in works of Action; and in some respects the ob-
jection applies. It would be very unfair, for in-
stance, to credit Mr. DISRAELI as a statesman with
all the brilliant absurdities he has flung off concern-
ing the Asian Mystery. The new CHANCELLOR of
the EXCHEQUER throws in the Asian Mystery as a
;t
it throws in a bright colour—for an effect.
however, he has done this, he leaves it alone.
He does not even take it to a dinner party, much less
to the Howes of Commons. But Lord JOHN MAN-1
PTAs' absurdities cling to him wherever he goes.
They aie a part of his being. do far his mind is
abnormal. He does not only believe in the feudal
system, but he preaches it. It is not merely in verse
that he tells you the regeneration of society will be
effected by making the poor dependent upon the
rich, but the whole tenor of his speeches shows the
same thing. Ile not only chants toe evils of mort-
main in bad "rhyme," but earnestly advocates it in
bad " moon." . .

Is such a man as this, who has n shown any
capacity for public business, but who is continually
outraging the spirit of the age, who is importunate
in his endeavour to depreciate everything good and
great that has distinguished the modern world, a fit
minister for England ? Is one who never sings but
to celebrate a tyrant a proper person to be *member
of the government of the only free nation in Europe P
Certainly not. Such a choice is an insult to the
intelligence and the peeress of the nation. If the
Earl of DERBY thinks that any amount of ability on
his own part will ward off the ill effects which will
be produced by stubborn wrong-headedness and poli-
tical incapacity in his sobs, he Ili mistaken. Ito has
work enough on his hands without having to defend
his friends. Protection is a heavy cargo; modiieva-
superstition, and imbecility will sink tho boat.
