THE TORIES AGAIN!

Oh, these wicked Tories! when are they to be
put - down ? When is every man of them to be
tied up from giving effect, in any way whatever,
'to the yearnings of his corrupt heart, and the
designs of his artful mind ? Is it. to be tolerated
for a moment that, so odious a creature as a Tory
shall have the audacity to object to the name of
a Liberal being placed on the List of Electors ?
Have not. the Liberals, as at once the very pillars
and purifiers of the State, a right to be electors,
whether legally qualified or riot? Is any quali-
fication which a mawkish and bigetted conser-
vatism may have contrived to impose, te obstruct
a Liberal,in the exercise of that which he is, by
nature, and by the force of his'own charaeter,=.
by his inalienable rights as a free-born 'English-
Liberal, and -on every ground of Liberal justice.
and truth, entitled to exercise,-tor be deemed
worthy
,of Liberal - regard in- these enlightened
days ? Most certainly not,-4zeording, that is,
-to our respected Liberal contemporary the Mer-
cury ; and hence our friend's indignation and
wrath that a gentleman in Toxteth Park district
should have dared to sign objections against any
Liberal electors, be the grounds of his objections
what' they Might. Of course, according to
Liberal supposition, they are, in• this case,
"frivolous.bbjections." But,.in fact, all the ohjec-
tions- which those shameful' people, the 'folios,
raise against Liberal electorS are frivolous; while,
on the other hand, a Liberal objection is invari-
ably iof such a character as not, only to warrant
its beint, made, but to be, deserying,of our com-
mon gratitude, for-the public spirit,and patriotic
feeling which has induced it. Indeed it is
so e-adent,—in the.estiniation of the Liberals, we
mean,—that the whole machinery of our Parlia-
mcntary Registration has only to be leftin.their
hands, without any Tory interference whatever,
to be made, if not of such a character as the law,
requires, at least such as would insure the -consti-
tummies invariably returning Liberal members to
Parliament,—to the utter discomfiture of the ob-
noxious and odious Tories, -and -therefore, it is
evident, to the promotion of the highest interests
of the country. This, at any rate, would seem to
be not only the opinion of our excellent contem-
porary alluded to, but the great object he has in
view in denouncing any one who may have the
Tory temerity to " render himself particularly
obnoxious by signing large numbers of objections
against Liberal electors. In the Toxteth Park
case, the, gentleman who has taken the trouble to
sign objections against Liberal electors happens to
be in a public situation; and on this ground he is
not only stigmatised on account
,of hiS Tory
shamelessness generally, but particularly because
of his .public position. What that poSition—not
being a political one-71ms to do with the matter,
we are unable to comprehend; bid this is. of no
consequence whatever,—nor indeed is it of any
moment whatever, that the publicity of his situa-
tion in life should be considered in the matter at
all. ' The enormity of- the offence consists in his
objections beinc, against Liberal electors--a body
our fellow-subjects much too sacred to be dese-
crated by the profane breath of a Tory. Had it.
been the other way, it would have been a very
different thing. Had a Liberal Registrar of
Births, Deaths, and Marriages, whether for Tom.-
teth Park or any other district, had the public
spirit to sign ever such large numbers of objec-
tions against Tory electors, no matter how
frivolous, not only would it have been—in Liberal
estimation that is—quite allowable, but most
patriotic and proper in every respect. So truo it
is, that " one man may steal a horse, While
" another, may not look over the hedge."
