Doctor JoullsoN has his disciples. It is related
him by that unconscious master of mnemonics,itor
biographer, that while one day talking of the
of GAAT'S " Letters," the Doctor exclaimed in
tone of crowning condemnation—" MASON'S a Whig.,,
Whereupon a lady
who was present, and had not pre-
cisely caught the expression, inquired, " What, sir
a prig ?" " Worse than that, Madam," said JOHNSON,, "
he's a Whig. But he's both." There are very
many in those islands now-a-days, who are disposed
to criticise the newly-elected representatives as Doctor
JonrisoN criticised the author of the " Garden." They
know that several men recently returned to the House
of Commons are prig, that others—worse than that—
are Whigs, and that some are botb. They are
disposed, moreover, we believe, to give the
prigs, of the two, the preference. Never, perhaps,
since the history of Parliament commenced has any
party "gone down" more rapidly, end, for the time
being, more irretrievably, than the once powerful and
P°Pular party constituting the late Government.
