31* J*ni GRAHAM has been for upwards of forty
T tars engaged is public affairs. Before he had so-
t odead as, reputation as a dime administrator, ha
wee distinguished in the Howe( Commons as a de-
•tector of abuses. He tracked corruption in its
Mice watt windings, and relied celebrity by drag-
ging it to light. At a time when Toryism was all
powerful and Reform only mentioned to be sneered
at, be was a fellow•labourer with Mr. Htlea, and
helped most materially to bring about the improved
opinion prior to 1830 from which unwed the Reform
Act ■ad all subsequent legislative improvements.
A. First Lo:d of the Admiralty and Secretary
of State for the Hume Department he has adminia-
tired the system be before held up to obloquy. He
hasten i: thoroughly, therefore, both from watching
its courts and working its springs. For all its move-
ments Le is as saimpeachable authority, and his
acciiits'ims art those both of a detective and an
accomplice. Whit he said at Carlisle on Monday is
on this eczount of great public importance, and
though it might have passed ma mere electioneering
squibs aid it fallen from other men, coming from
him is cl it instinctive. For a party purpose it
is of no .1:11., fur it affects all parties alike. Bic
Jaite bete testimony against himself and his
friends as well as spinet his megawatt, sod made
the ribLe So Such the better acquainted with the
system he has adenisialewed and now ceedemne.

Other elections, w►ea Sirloins sad his friends i
have been io office, have bora inaseneed by them..
sways as the present *lntim& !sowing this„
could devise sod state t►at at Berwick•os-Tweed no I
el•r'ron bees decided is favour of two Covers-
men. nnd.dstes by • premiss given by the Gann-
meat just before the election that the old reads
shou.d be repaired sad a mow barrack estabiished
'hare. So the expeetatios of the adenines to be '
&rind ►y the tows boos as expenditure of the
public money, sal, to be obtained by retuning
ore Coaservativev, weaned their triumph. The
packet-we:et, Sir Items temi•ded the public, oasts

this sum may be seed to mamma elretwas, sad pee► I
b•bly be bees and to this sad by every successive
Adaisistratise Moe. tie Int sabady was greeted to
the Canard Use, Sir Juan explained by the
examples of Dover sad Galway. The public
has bees amply ialonosil of the refusal
by Captain eassxota to eo•test Dover w►en
requested by the Tim Loaf) of the ADIII-
SALTY, but probably ssly a ei.ders•t Tint Lord
mull explain the distionarable means by which ho
was expected to succeed. The contract for the
employment of packets at Dover had been modified
or eked out in some Wily just before the election on
such tenor, according to Sir JAMES, as turned the
election in favour of Admiral Locce, the new
Lord of the Admiralty, and his colleague, Mr.
NIA itoLt. When Sir JANES ascribe■ the nears of
the Conservatives to Admiralty patronage, it is
possible for the public to forget that between Dover
and Mr. B►:xlt.tL Oseosixa there were no peculiar
•ympatbiee, and impossible for it to avoid suspect-
log that be owed his former success, when &CT*.
tory of the Admiralty, to like atm exerted is his
favour. Sir JALE4 110'0MS us, then, very clearly,
that the election at Dover was carried by this
pablic money having been employed, though is •
way to .scope legal punishment, to bribe the *lea
ton. (If Galway Sir JAMES could speak non poll-
tively. Not sot for th.: publie more conclusively.
Already, he said, a communication by packets is es-
t•bliehed between America and Liverpool, at an ex-
pense of 24n,0001. • year. And ths American Go-
vernment, fo.ioning oar example, had also, at a con-
siderable expense, established a line of packet.,
so that the communication between the two
eouctr:es is carried on with the regularity
and certainty of the old mail coaches. Hut
Government, at the Mannar of • valuable
body of members in the west of Ireland, thought it
would be advisable to add to this communication by
establishing a Galway line at the cost of 70,0001. a
year. It would have been cheaper, said Sir lAttes,
had :he Government employed 100,0001, of the
public mosey in baying the votes sod debauching
um voters of Gilway, than thus to apply 70,0001,
per annum under • contract for seven yews. The
cotetqueoce of the contract, however, waa to retain
ME. LEN ER, • supporter of Lord DEIST, at the head
of the poll—a gentleman who is reported, indeed, to
have offered his vote to any mioistry which would
*sable him by each a subsidy to buy the electors of
Galw.y. These are only specimens of the corruption
which we must believe, on the respectable authority
of Sir J %%ES, has in many plena influenced the lan
elections, and has equally influenced all elections for
many years past, when the issue has been doubtful,
Public writers connected with the Governenest,

and hoping probably at some time or other to have
• elute in the administration, may glove over these
acc•atiorr, or treat the whole matter u an ordinary
otenrrecee to be joked about and laughed at. We
can only regard it as a very serious matter, affecting
the character of representative government and re-
tarding the program of liberty throughout the weld-
In keeping oat of foreign wars, and not iinpedieg
the growth of prceperity at home, the Government
of the I [wed States has been eminently memos-
fel, its people have been more prosperous,
and no Uursroment has managed its foreign
relations more acutely. Nevertheless, no Government
is more despised in Earope than the Republican
Government of the United Statee, because it r 011...
the wheel of sordid corruption. And what is the
chief objection made by the most enlightened ponies
of the people of Europe, who ■till groan under
despotism end yet fear to shake it off, to our Gam
rernment ? Why, that:everything, including honour,

and virtue, end power; is heeghtaal sold, and las •
money price. They are very mach is error, but
their brlid le putty justified by the continual re-
to•,tioe of ouch wow loos u these made at Can
and the mat am! tanneries of mime per
loss not combed to say airs party. Ur May
