THE LIVI

RPOOL CONSERVATIVE DAILN
PAPER."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DA.ILY TIMES.

SIR,—To do an act beneficial to an individual
is commendable—to perform one of utility and
kindness to a-family of individuals is worthy of
praise-r-but -to originate; and consummate a deed.
influentially and universally. advantageous to a
whole community,' and an entire state, is surely
to challenge at once the admiration and the gra-
titude , of that community, and of that state ;
evincing, as it does;, benevolence capable of being
ethicil.beyond self; stepping forth out of its Own'
innate personality into an enter world, and there'
requiring liberal support, and generous encourage-
ment. Such an act—such a performance—has
been executed by the Northern Daily Times, over
which you so. ably preside, in Liverpool, where it
was so urgently required: It is now, however, a
broad and, palpable fact, and to yourself ,is due,
that meed of praise which I would, though-feebly
and inadequately.; essay to place on record in the
columns of your own patriotic print.
It required no small confidence in your own
powers—it deManded no inferior amount of
patriotism, and no little or unintelligible commer-
cial risk, to enter upon a field that was so pre-
occupied by weekly, semi-weekly, and daily
papers, that .were serving :ont_ in. rich abundance
the Radical pabulum that-Twos to poison the
patriotic; and overthrow the wavering. mind.
The Northern Daily Times, however, boldly
stepped 'forth, and 'gallantly threw down
the gauntlet into the arena, where it now
holds an unflinching and undaunted position

and such is the apparentr result-that it requires
Roll/host', from the_ grave to assure:us of a suc-
cessful issue, that shall reward the heart that
conzeiVed, the courage that dared, the patriotism
that haiarded the..capital required for so great-
an experiment, and the confidence that could
itiffor the commensurate return,—a return that
should yield a commercial equivalent for risks
incurred, and the patriotism, so boldly placed 'on
the altar of ConStitutionali3m as a. counteractive
those
to peripatetic firebrands that have so long
Uogbled the Israel of our loved and noble country,
playing, as those. firebrands, did and ,do, on the
ignorant, . tampering with- the uninformed, and
paving the way to a democracy through the fiery
channel of revolution, by seducing the patriot
from his 'allegiance to the monarchy, and trans-.
forming..him into the dissatisfied'and ever-
giiihbhngßadical, ready for any mischief.

Sir, I dared not attempt, if I Could adequately
perform, an act of justice to yourself for the
introd.uction of a daily. Conervative paper 'where
it was so much wanted. It is for an enlightened
Liverpool Conservatiye
,cominunity, gratefully
and liberally to perform, that necessary act. But
when we consider first, that Liverpool holds
the ;,foremost place in loyalty ; and secondly,
that it was ever highest in exertion for
the,ti promotion and support of those. prin-
ciples that have made us the admiration, as
well as earned for .us • the jealous enmity of
the world, well may we ask the reason! for its
declension so far into Radicalisni as to succumb
to a disgraceful devolution of our parliamentary
representation. Alas ! the cause is obviouS.
Fancied security of possession of the citadel,
which.had been,„raised by previous and prolonged
exertionS,—repase en, the conviction that a bar-
rieruhad been raised impregnable to either overt
or covert attacks to sap the foundation of that
soluid -.Constitutional political morality, which
once pervaded the entire of our Liverpool com-
munity. The'' leaders who had so nobly origina-
ted, and so triumphantly led those principles to
victory at the hustings, at last settled down
aeon their oars, refired, laden with wealth, to
tlie sift, enervating pillow of enjoyment in their
riednetive suburban residences, leaving the camp
nnafficered, and the trenches unprotected. The
iesti' it was inevitable; the enemy entered the
citadel, and sowod tares, which grew and waxed
retttrim&--thoseloyal leaders of a loyal popula-
tion awoke ,to find the successful teachings of
years—humbled to the dast, _and an attitude_of
equality .assumed' that threatened ';ascendancy.
That ascendancy, to Our shame be it said, exhibit-
'ed itself first in weekly, then in semi-weekly,
and now in daily antagonist prints, which,
howcy,er 'ably conducted, 'are but too prone to
teach, political doctrines that unsettle and disturb
the mind of the hard-working, artisan, making
iridifferent'servant, a; worse subject, " and
the easy tool of the designirig.
This state of things continued so long, that
little may we wonder that the • Whig-radical,
and revolutionary. Prints were left' in uninter-
rupted possession of the field to indoctrinate igno-
rant and partially educated` minds With principles:
Awitiehowhen massed, into phalanx, were not only
calculated to engender, but likely to mature into
practice, conceptions trenching on national safety,
—that lead to national disruption, place us at the
mercy of the foroizner, and iiltimately make the
greatest nation,the World has yet seen the mere
province of,,allither empire. Such was the re-
sult of that supineness which, `74:bPued in the
luxury of its own self-created. Nvetath, left the:
former field of honour for the decadefice of present
ease, when, to our gratification, the counteraction
showed itself' lit the Northern DAILY Times--:,
gloriously emphatic)--...
(yes, let me say "daily"
which shot . like a meteor across our political
by
horizon, at once delighting and instructing,
its well-written leading articles, itsrable editorial
management, and its patriotic principles. The
C.Cl2.lA9riigtiyes;,of Liverpool may,, therefore, well
exult in a claiiy journal that will' fairly stand
side by side with its metropolitan contemporaries,
nor fear a comparison in either literary qualifica-
tionforin early and Copious intelligence.
Let us, then, hope that your patriotic paper
will meet with support from :'.the wealthy,
the respectable middle class, the tradesman,
arid'' the huMble inquiring artisan ; but espe-
cially of the first of my enumerated class,
the ivealthy,--let them, abote all,' look to, and
sustain it in its preserit efficiency, nor drive
it to seek more saving, but humbler and less qua-
lified ability to give currency to principles that
are to sustain the fabric of our Constitution, pil-
lared as it has. hitherto been on the affections of
the people. The utility of a Daily Conservative
paper cannot be over-rated. If the Liberals haie
two, surely it is incumbent on the Conservatives
to support one. The call upon our gratitude, as.

Conservatives, is strong. The cause itself: is
noble. The result—the sustainment of our glo-
rious 'Constitution in its integrity, and the pre-.
servation of our religious and ipolitical freedom
in their entire fulness : surely there is here suffi-
cient to demand our protection—to open the
channels of sustaining liberality—to draw the
public mind around a long desiderated attempt to
redeem us from a disgraceful apathy, that pen-
ultimately ,rencouraged the successful attempt
to establish an adverse press; and ultimately flooded
our-previously loyal townsmen with principles
leading to anarchy and revolution. From which
may. God preserve us !—Yours, gratefully and
truly, BROOKVAL E.

doubt Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co. adopt the
most effectual means of giving publicity to these
particulars,, and ease of access to enquirers ; and
by sending these particulars to the press, I wish
to • explain, that it. is not with any object of

particulars as ought to lend to identification, I
trust that, in asking you to publish it, in extenso,
you will, under the circumstances, allow me so
much space in your valuable journal:—l am, dear

BRITAIN'S MARITIME INTERESTS

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES.
"Her march is o'er the mountain waves,
'TIM' home is on the sea." ~.,,,, • . ,
Sig,—The Times, in its late sneering article on
the subject of the depression in British..shipping,
admits that it is an interest of "immense national
importance."
This is an unequivocal admission from an
adversary. The vital, importance of that main-
stay of our commerce and our safety, the British,
Mercantile marine, is thus acknowledged on';a11
sides.
ln an evil hourt however, the maxims of Adam
Smith and the voice of experience and of ivisdOin
were disregarded, and our whole ocean carrying '
'trade was thrown:open to,the foreigner, who was '
allowed to-keep his own trade closed against us,
-so that he has, at least, two strings to his bow '
wilile•wii,have but one: - ' . .
The British shipowner is lertherdigadvantage-
ouily placed by being oppressed iwith, an- accumu-
lated 'burden of over-legislation, from the chief

-It is ' evident- that;- if the- existence and pros-
perity 'of British Shipping 'are necessary, tePs
must be taken' o give it relief, or rather o'doit •
justice, and, grant the ihiOwner that "freedom
of trade " which they crave, and which every
other great branch of industry enjoys.
Another session of Parliament fast approaches..
In many seaport towns meetings have been hey,i,
and action taken, in aid of the suffering Shiprring
Interest. - It appears odd that such secv.nig
apathy sb.ould prevail in Liverpool (of aik other
places) on such a subject. It is true she has
spoken out 'through her delegates in London, on
Tuesday last. Let her speak at home, where
