REALLY, the Peelites are rather hard to please.
They scoff at the speech of Sir amain Garr, made
at t' e Berwick dinner, asif it had come up.n them by
surprise; and they maim the Home Secretary him-
self, as if he were not as thorough a conservative as
any one of themselves. There are aggravation', too,
in their uncharitableness which render it quite re-
Tobin,. The right hon. member for Northumberland
has points in common with them which ought to
shield him from their arrows. Like the Peelites, he
won office on one set of principles, and has striven to
hold it on another. Like them, he has quitted his
natural followers, and sought for majorities
in the ranks of gentlemen opposite ; only
he has hitherto seemed to bs more income
fel in his practice of that political step, which
begins with a pirouette and ends by changing hands
without crossing over. Can envy warp the critic's
mind ? Or is the vexation of the chronicler excited
by the apprehension, that the world may cease to re
member how widely different were the original tints
to which official chemistry has 'successively imparted'
the same dull and indefinite dye?
In opposition we fully admit that Sir GEORGE
GIMY professed very different sectiments from those
lehieta Lord ABERDEEN or Lord LYNDHURST reaper
Lively sustained in foreign and domestic affairs. At
that time the Irish church, according to the Home
&weary, was "a bed icsitution," and one that
seeded the visiting baud cf sweeping reform ; but
sow it is regarded by the same distinguished autho-
rity as one of those invaluable institutiots of the coun-
try, which her Majesty's present cabinet hope and in-
tend to hand down unimpaired to posterity. lo op-
position, Sir ClEonoE GREY was ready to vote for
the ballot and other measures that experience might
point out as needful to carry into full operation the
principles of the Reform Bill ; but now the right hon.
baronet scruples not to vote against the ballot, and to
declaim on all occasions about the dangers of anarchy,
chartiam, and rubbish rebellions in Tipperary, by way
of scaring the dowager class of the community from
lending an ear to insidious projects of real representa-
tion.
Yet the Peelites are not content with him. He
has been entertained by his constituents at dinner,
and has made them cue of the usual fest-sad-loose,
omnium-gatherurn anythingarian speeches which
custom has sanctioned as fitting and adequate on such
occasions. Not a word in it about corn ; not a
whisper about creed; not a mutter regarding pro-
gress ; but a hob-nob wish for peace and prosperity,
a blunt avowal that so long as the orator and his
relations are permitted to do for the empire at laiv
at 4,0001. or 5,0001. a year each, things cannot be
much amiss; and then the well-worn commonplaces
about " our admirable constitution." Yet, surely,
if the dinner-givers of North Northumberland
are dolts enough to be content with fanfaronade
of this description, nobody else need complain.
If nothing bat an ex-whig secretary turned conserva-
tive would suit the gentlemen of the nethermost
county, that is their affair, not our's. We almost
think Sir GEORGE shows tact and judgment in thus
sounding the depths of his constituency's stupidity,
by the flinging out of such kipliunmet as that whose
ilength of line and density or lead our Peelite coo-
, temporary finds fault with.
But then it is complained, the Home Secretary has
se plan, at least he ventilates now in presence of his
seastituents at Berwick-upon-Tweed. Mr. DISRAELI,
Mr. COBDEN, Sir W. MOLISWORTH, and, last of all,
Sir ROBERT PEEL himself, have each had their plans
for the amendment of parts of the policy of the
nation ; but the right hon. baronet has no plan
to propose either for colonial, or fiscal, or Irish affairs;
and this, we are told, indicates political " insolvency."
Again, we most say, we think this is somewhat too
hard, coming from the quarter it does. If ever a
specially puffed and extolled knot of ultra k"owing
politicians were admonished by lamentable experience
to beware of undertaking to govern according to a
plan, assuredly the Peelites are they. From the
sliding scale of 1842, which was to last far ever, to its
abolition in 1840, the whole history of the party is
ens sad and shabby record of the devices of men to es-
cape from their own " unrivalled plan ;" and from the
premature birth, sadden death, and private burial of
Lord LINCOLN'S famous Manchester plan for paying
the Roman catholic clergy, to Mr. GLADSTONE'S still
more hapless project of counter-revolutionising
Canada; or from the immutable Bank Act of 1844,
which at the first squeeze was obliged to be sus-
, with its author's assent, to the grand plan
Lligredpurchase and plantation of Connaught by a cor-
porate company, which turns out to have not a penny
of capital therefore—we cannot recall one single plan
originating with Sir ROBERT PEEL or his friends that
has not practically ended in absolute failure. For as
to the conceesiocs of emancipation and free trade in
eon, whatever credit be may deserve, it is certainly
net that of having suggested or advocated thase mea-
sures as potions of any known or understood "plan."
Bet besides, we think it unfair to any minister of
state, placed in the peculiar position of the present
Home Secretary, to impute to him the want of a
plan because he does not in terms parade it. 'Tis
early yet in the parliamentary vacation. There
is time for a deal of collaboration and conoocting
between this and February next. The past per-
Immaects, also, of the right hon. gentleman ought in
leak* to be borne in mind. We cannot forget that
in 1848 he brought forth three coercion bills, and
that during the session of 1849 he had twins
of the same breed. Who knows what new
addition to the famil of repression may be
I even already in the womb? Clearly it would
not be decent or becoming in the most prolific of
I parents to announce too 113011 what was coming. But I
we think folks mast be very uncharitable or very in-1
credulous, if they venture to affirm as certain that we
shall have no interesting little strangers in the shape
of new felonies, making their appearance before Eas-
ter. Sir Gismos has been in Ireland of late ; the
very atmosphere of Dublin Castle is fruitful in this
kind. Who knows what we may see yet?

IT is time for politicians to make up their minds as
to what is to be done selative to the pave-trade.
Remain as we are is impomible. Our own preventiie
squadrons, as well as those of other powers, must be
conscious of what is passing in the public mind at
home, where it is confessed that all their efforts have
been unavailing. This must unnerve their mina, and
relax their vigilance. They are like functionaries
moiling the order which dismisses them, and there-.
Ins lukewarm in the execution of duty.
We moat either get at something new in cower
tie% extensive in preparation, and formidable in
fuss, to give spirit and efficacy to prevention, or
we most abandon it. But neither parliament nor
the public are prepared for augmented effort. The
thing is hopeless. There remains but the other
alternative. We mast own that we see no medium,
ited can consider nose of these schemes practicable,
'which have been devised for regalating or commuting
the slave trade. AU proceed upon the supposi-
tion iheAßraziliana and Cubans, or their governments,
will join cordially in carrying out snob arrangements.
But experience has taught that neither Brazilian nor
Cuban authorities can in the least be counted on.
Brazil is a vast empire, in which each man, each
province, and each interest doeth as it lists*, sad
throughout which hes arisen such a jealous feeling of
proud, national wilfulness, that almost any treaty-
making with each a people is idle. Indeed, through-
out the whole history of slave-trade repression, we
have had bat the one uniform experience—that
treaties, forced upon powers, civilised or uncivilised,
were equally eluded.
