Lord Derby and a considerable section of hie party are
apparently u little inclined as are Lord Russell and Lord
Palmerston to go to war in defence of Denmark. They do
not, therefore, take the line of oondemning the pusillanimity
of the government—which might or might not have gained
them a House of Commons' majority, but which would car.
tautly have carried with it the generous feelings of the
nation—but they writhe themselves to °ensuring the mode
in which a policy from which they do not substantially
dissent has been carried out. We are far from saying
that the latter is not a good parliamentary
ground. Bat it cannot be expected to excite much
enthusiasm on the part of the public, who take
little interest in an elaborate dissection of the errors of
• futile diplomacy. The only issue for which they care is
the broad one—peace or ware The government have jadi-
cionaly :allied to their aide all the friends of pesos, by the
distinct and emphatic terms of Mr. Kinglake's amendment ;
the opposition have carefully disclaimed all sympathy with
those who desire by warlike means—which Sr. the only
practicable means—to maintain the national honour and
discharge the national duty. Under these circumstances
its probable that Lord Derby will turn oat to have been
well advised, in warning the friends whom he assembled at
the Marquis of Salisbury's, that •` be did not desire to
convey to them a positive certainty that the resolution
would carry with it a majority of the House of Commons."
