LONDON, THURSDAY, 0070BBR 17.

LORD SUNLIT WOO% earrasier at ellserstici. As
far as the griped cease of war is snared, he nese
dearly enough that moose@ is past paying fee. For-
tune is napropitioss. " The deserters," as ut IM6, the
isinority who followed Psat wen went to be ladled
by the balk of the tory bout, " the deenters," have the
best of it. The country thrives older hoe trade.
Eno agriculture begins to Peek up comer, and
rubbing its eyes to ark what was it that looked is for-
midable P Trade is rod; prime are Wig the ro
venue is steady ; and Mod (except ia odd's)
is not gone oat of cultivation. What clan Lad &UN-
LIT think tut that the gams of pretestios is up P
What ma he say but that be won't my so in as msay
words for within P
No man having been ridden down once, liltssi:to
incur the risk of being Addeo ever amsead time by
the same party. For thief IMO dims me Gam rea-
son, Lord STARLRY IS ad diegisne4 to art his own
colours, sad do suit and aeries to the Oladdendas.
He is ready to make theta oedemata that he and his
followers are open to sa oar : beam tbe spew& at
Bary. Bat be is also determined set wily to make
terms, but to show the world that be is aisle to en-
force them: hems the parleying letter from Lows-
ley. The exultation at the Morning Modell was
premature. The neck dal angler who so long bad
toiled and taken nothing, 'Maly ionised he had
caught a mighty flab, when ia troth Its bad had bat
a tantalising nibble.
To give up all serious thoughts of nemeting a
sliding scale of duties upon foreign earn is one
thing ; but to tell the deladed opine and farmers so
is gamete soother. To let the hops of a retort to the
old system die out in their hearts by slow decline has
hem part of the Dieraelite policy during the lad
two years. But to shorten the safe and silent process,
and to throw away thereby so much political capital,
before the time for say attempt at regaining dila bad
come, would be a wanton manifestation of ausdour
not to be looked for. And to afford "the deserters"
a long winter's chuckle, before the painful recantation
could be turned to any possible amend, weed betray
a levity of character hardly to be looked for seen in
the heir of Derby.
Accordingly we fled abundant proof in the hasty
epistle addressed to Mr. G. F. Your*, that the im-
pulsive and ont-spoken leader of the country party has
no micd to be paraded se a convert by the Jesuitical
section whom he is much more disposed to take into
pay as useful auxiliuies than to follow se Peahen, or
penitently propitiate as offended oracles. The tory
majority want the aid of the tory minority, sad are
not unwilling to sacrifice say amount of mere am
'latency, abstract theory, or stale vows and pledges
in order to secure it. Bat they are fully sionadoes of
two things—Bret, that the tory minority are quite as
much in want of their amistanes ; and. secondly, that
in England there is no sanction which a party may
with so little impunity violate se that at decency.
Semblances must be observed sad emeetional
shame kept up. If no necessity for turning
right round extsts—a necessity must be invented.
Thus were the whirl ones driven by a combined
attack of their antagonists to throw up elles, the im-
perative duty of not leaving the country without a
government (as the phrase is) would be gravely
stated as the sudden justification for &beaming all
kinds of professions and all sorts of obligations.
Posey ite politicians would acquiesce in a low-church
policy, and farmers* friends would agree to recognise
ism trade as sea fait accompli. Thee is nothing. in
short, which, on the doorstep of Downingetreet, may
not be settled. Bat six months before the emergency
arises, to barn your banners and break your drums,
were a piece of superfluous selfeamillos—an act of
uspuelleled folly, and one exceedingly likely to
render abortive the high-minded scheme for Nike of
which it may be supposed to be dose.
Lord STANLLY is fond of racing, and is said to
enjoy the Ulmer of winning a fairly contested
match, rather for its own sake, than for that of the
stake which is ran for. Politics are to him another
Led of excitement, but the feelings of the man in
both are the mum If there was no competition for
power among these whom be regards as equals—
power when WC would foe him lope ball its shames;
and there are few who have listmed to one
of Lord STANLEY'S vehement orations, and marked
the essentially combative toss and =proem
of his most eloquent efforts, who does not
feel persuaded that such a man has infinitely more
gratillo.tion in wielding the meal form of an enthu-
siastic opposition than in the constrained and eons-
promising exercise of ministerial authority. A walk
over is no fun at Demister, but lead of all to the
owner of the horse that is withdrawn after having
been mitered to rm. And Lord STARLIT shows that
whilst be is too shrewd to penile' against unequal
odde—be has ao stied to be cajoled or cowed by an
Warier competitor.

however, will bee that on., the orestitation (rebid-
ding it to extend beyond the 4th el Match ; a Auto-

as otherwise it might exceed in dandies the Cheat

a lacy, it has ales been so eventful sae--eventful
alike as regards the tar:ideate which marked its pro-
gress, the crisis which it braved, and the meunres to
which it has given birth.

valent to it, would pass. The proposal was, in its
totality, rejected, but the measure which were after-
wards adopted, contained, in piecemeal, neither more
nor Mss than Mr. Clat'a scheme. They were the bill for
the admission of California a a state, that for settling
the Texan boundary, the acts fat the erection of
Utah and New Mexico into territories, the Positive
Slam Bill, and the important measure for the aboli-
tion of slavery in the district of Columba. We may

of slavery, but that they also tend to circumscribe

had kept than for the whole of the melon
from broaching with seeress their favourite sebum
of restoring the high tariff, which was so inereilemly
dealt with in 1846. They, therefore, wished it to be
wholly disposed of this session, so as to have a clear
field fora dub at the tariff seat session, at the beck
of the hungry protestionista of New Neglead. They
require the field dear for the doable reason that,
whilst the next session is the short one, they too have
everything to fear from the wreathing asmodancy
of the West. Now or never u their tame, foe they
must dip their heads for ever under the free trade
wave which will inundate Coignes front the
