LONDON, WBDNISDAY, SEPT. !2.

A SPECIAL EDITION of the " REPRESS,"
senteiaiag the remits of the day's Roe* is pub-
tithed every evening during the Spertlag Season, at
six °Week.

Et Cu, Brute : NSWDZOATE on Progress ! It is
difficult is these days of political travesty to pro-
nounce any combination as the se plus ultra of
oddity; and we may yet live to be favoured by a
profession of Conservatism from Mr. Bummer
lours, or a disquisition on the virtues of modern-
tion in thought and language from the Honourable
" Watch-dog" for Sheffield. At present let us satiate
our minds with the great idea that Mr. NEWDSGATE
has declared hums': a disciple of Progress. An an-
cient poet has. told us in not the least familiar
of classic lines that the cultivation of the
liberal arts softens the manners, and the greatest
of modern writers has assured us that " one touch
"of nature makes the whole world kin." Had Ovm
and gm /caress/ lived in days when government
was carried on by the alternate preponderance and
displacement of parties and cabinets, they would
have learnt that there is a more potent spell than
either of thous they have mentioned for smoothing
away asperities and evoking harmony out of dies_
treed. That spell is office. Six months of offioe has
dew its work. It has mollified the rugged inde-
pendent, of RISLEY, and neutralised the acid
assrbity of NEWDZOATE. The Conservative Squire
is beginning to lisp in Liberalism, the ono* fanatic
Tory "declares advisedly" that he wishes for
Progress.

It is a thousand pities to have to mar, by more
specific reference to actual facts and precise expres-
sion', the pleasing vagueness of this harmonious
picture of dissolving principles and expanding
view'. Bat Mr. NEWDEGATE would have a right to
complain if we did not present oar readers with the
exam terms in which he publishes the confession of
his sew faith. Here are his own words :
" I wish for progress. I desire to see all
" classes of the community advance, bat I
" desire to see them advance within the limits
"of principles which constitute safety." Suoh
is the NEWDEGATE definition of Progress. It is
" advance within the limits of principles which con-
" etitute safety." What are the limits and what
are the principles which will satisfy the defining
mind of this new and ardent convertits ? Doles
kilt in generalibsi• : let as condescend to particulars.
The history of this country for the last thirty years
has been, according to the irrefragable evidence of
facts, and the common consent of the civilized world,
"an advance within the limits of principles that
" constitute safety." It is, however, an ominous
bat unavoidable reflection, that to every one of
the more important steps, the aggregate of which
has constituted that great and memorable advance,
the P►ogresista of the Coventry Banquet and those
amongst whom he has figured as a "Representative
" man " have been perseveringly, loudly, and
fiercely opposed. From the days of the Emancipa-
tion of the Dissenters and the Catholics down to
these latter days of the Emancipation of the Jews,
the protest of the NEWDEOATE party has been loud
and vehement that the progress we were making
was incompatible with political safety, was a bass
surrender of constitutional duty, and a flagrant vio-
lation of religious principle. It I. bat the other day
that the gentleman who yew so saliently desires
" to see all classes of the community advance," de-
clared the Legislature to be irredeemably disgraced,
and the House of Commis hopelessly unchrls-
tiaaiwd, because a certaic,class of the community
were freed from an odious restriction which deprived
them of civil rights on the ground of theologic
differesoes. It has been the same in all other de-
partments of progress, civil and social. The convert
of Coventry, in his unenlightened or ante-official
Asp of existence, has bean a very fogleman of that
stubborn phalanx who, in defence of what they were
*NW to call the Constitution, have always bass
reedy, Wag after the legs of argument have been
kuseked away from under them, to fight on upon
the stamps of prejudioe. Parliamentary Reform,
Musisipal Reform, Church Reform, Industrial and
Sisial•Reform, have each and all been denounced and
ballad against, as instances of advance incompatible
with safety. " When others tell you that a Comer-
" retire has no right to speak of Progress, pay no
▪ attention to them," exclaims Mr. NEWDEOATE at
Ceventry. We disclaim all wish to abridge any-
body's rights, and listen to a Conservative with
more pleasure than when he finds himself compelled
by the irresistible course of events and the silent
growth of sound opinion, to extol that benelisent
" Progress " which he has spent the misguided
activity of years in vainly endeavouring to oppose.
He has a right to give fall expression to his im-
proved opinions, bat those who wish to gouge the
depth and test the value of his changed convictions,
have at least an equal right to refer to the uniform
tenor of his peat political coin2ncl.

Judged by this test, fse--.1 that the
eccentric confessions of faith in n!‘ich one or two of
the hitherto untainted Tories have been ".CentlY
indulging are not greatly to be relied on either hY
friend or foe. Does anyone expect, for instance,
that they will stand the rough wear and tear of a
real Reform Bilt—of each a Reform Bill as alone
will or ought to satisfy the unrepresented classes
at this country ? The fact is, such professions
mean nothing and prove nothing except the
speaker's sense of the necessity of accommodating

of compliance, to

Programs ; IMO those who are least inclined really
to aimelerate that magnificent development which
party combinations did nothing to generate
and can do nothing to arrant,--even these
men are obliged to learn the shibboleth
of the true believers, and affect to participate in a
movement they are powerless to oontroL It is well
enough when there is no enemy in sight, bat it
remains to be seen whether they will remember their
watchword at the perilous pas of Parliamentary
Reform, or retain their new zeal for progress whoa
t►e nation is pressing on to make its next stride in
the onward path which it has hitherto trodden with
so much prosperity and so much safety.
