The history of party in this country will be found
to confirm the views we have been expressing. For
many years Jostre HtSIE persevered in going out
into the lobby, night after night, with rarely more
than six supporters. But the obvious honesty of
these men, their distinct avowal of the principles
which regulated their votes, and the unvarying
good temper of their leader, told upon
the House at last. Most of HOME'S financial
views were adopted by Sir HENRY YARNELL
and others ; and before he died he had seen not a few
of his other principles embodied in Acts of Parlia-
ment. Let us go some years farther back. At the
beginning of the present century the Whig party.
according to Lord HOLLAND, numbered only four
votes in the House of Lords, and was in a
miserable minority in the Hones of Commons.
Saes after that time a couple of unfledged barristers
—Beovottso and Howlett—winged their way
'from Edinburgh to London. They had already
achieved a certain amount of literary dis-
tinction ; but what was of more consequence,
they had familiarised themselves with the study of
politics as a science. They were warmly welcomed
at Holland House, whose genial owner aspired to
make himself the centre of a politico-literary circle ;
and here they encountered kindred spirits, some of
whom—like Lord Jons RUSSELL and Lord HENRY
Parry—had been partly trained in the same school
as themselves, while others had caught the tone of
a manlier and less eclectic English school. Thus
was formed the party which was destined, after
long years of seemingly unavailing struggle, to have
the honour, as the Ministerial party of the day,
of carrying Lord GREY'S Reform Bill. One more
reminiscence, and we have done for the present. The
accession of 01:0113E 111. found the nation thoroughly
disgusted with the senile despotism of the Duke of
NEWCASTLE. The young KING availed himself of
this to persuade a numerous party that the Crown and
the people had a common cause against the over-
grown power of the old Whig Houses. Against the
quasi-popular party thus formed, the CATENDISMIS
and their noble compeers straggled for a time as in-
effectually as the WILXESES and BERLEFORDS.
But the Marquis of ltocurtemtss had the sense to
engage EDMUND BOWIE as his private secretary
and confidential adviser. That subtle and far-
geeing spirit succeeded in convincing the dis-
comated Whigs that their only chance of
achieving anything was in adopting and consistently
acting upon certain fixed and avowed principles.
BURRS succeeded in converting Caut.za Lune
Fox to his views, and the more genial nature of that
most loveable of statesmen, and wider range of social
influence among the young politicians of the time,
soon made him the leader of the party. The exces-
sive good-nature of Fox--always inclined to coali-
tions—sod the soured temper of BoRXE, discontented
with the unrecognised part he played, paralysed and
ultimately broke up the party ; and yet, notwith-
standing these disadvantages, and the still more fatal
disadvantage of the morbid hauteur of its most
influential members, it rendered, before its disrup-
tion, invaluable services to the cause of constitu-
tional liberty.
