TORY Dr.sparx.—ln these days when all men
are absorbed in the worship of success denuded of all
those attributes of consistency, ity, and honour,
which make a losing cause ble, and the absence
of which makes a winning cause despicable, we, like
every one else, must pay our bonnie to superior fortune,:
and assume a moderation that suits the position of the
advocates of a vanquished end rained canoe. Argument
has nothing to do with the decision of this most important
matter. Contrary to the teaching of all history, more
especially contrary to the teaching of the history of Eng-
land, we have flung aside all moderation, all foresight, all
prudence. Last year the attempt was to enfranchise the
class whose leading principles and Wean are illustrated
by the trar.sactions of trades' onions. This year we have
at least in some degree avoided this risk by swamping the
skilled artisan in en element of which we do not even
know that it has in it any political life at all. We seek to
escape the evils of unbridled democracy by the evils of un-
bounded corruption. Our last hope is, that our future
rulers may choose to sell us the power we are giving them,
instead of exercising it for their ruin and our own. Mr.
Gladstone is terrified, Mr. Bright stands aghast. We call
upon the radicals to save us, we blush to say it, from the
tory government, and they are gradually taking up the
position of a conservative opposition sgsinst the measures
of Lord Derby and Mr. Diarseli.—Quarterfy Basing, new
number.
