LONDON.WEDNESDAY AUGUST 4, 1852.

A WORD TO THE GOVERNMENT.
What England has long required, and
.
what she
requires more than ever at the present
ni
juncturerecog, is a
strong Government. Those will be
the
true patriots', those will be the statesmen recognized
as
invested
with the national confidence, who first secure to
people of these islands the advantages of % the
Brume-
tricot and vigorous Administration. It matters little
whether the Prime Minister call himself a Liberal
or a Conservative—it matters little whether he be-
long to this party Or to that party, whether his
" colours" be the colours of Toryism, or the
colours of Whiggiiin, or the colours of Radicalism—
so long as he contrives to establish a powerful
and energetic Government, he will assuredly com-
mand and inevitably receive the evidences of the
popular gratitude. While we speak thus distinctly
and advisedly, we must of course acknowledge that
one eor two sections at least of our leading politi-
cians have been " weighed in the balance and found
wanting." Nobody thinks seriously of aiding the
Whigs to return to power—a power to which they
