An ingenious argument, advanced in the course of
a masterly article in the Telegraph of the 23d inst.,
closes with the assertion that " from Lord DERBY
immeasurably more is expected than Lord JOHN at-
tempted "—reminding ua cf the impracticable policy
vaguely sketched out for themselves by the members
of the present Government. Upon the utter im-
practicability of that policy no two opinions can—by
a. rational man—for a single instant be entertained.
What the ex-PREMIER attempted he failed in, alto-
gether and sometimes ignominiously. Yet, what he
did not venture to attempt Lord DERBY is
expected to accomplish. Such, in reality, is
the difficult task devolving upon the Tory
PRIME JISIsTER, and which it will be
perceived our contemporary has boldly indicated on
the very eve of the dissolution. No wonder (such
being the case) that the Cabinet has refrained as long
as was at all reasonable from explicitly declaring
their intentions as to any definitive system of
administration. No wonder Ministers have shrunk
instinctively from proclaiming the precise character of
the principles upon which they have determined to
carry on the business of the Government. The enor-
mity of the things required from them by their sup-
porters was sufficient, in all conscience, to deter
them, at least during a considerable interval, from
announcing their views to the population. Little by
little the truth has oozed out, however, already,
so that the electors of the United Kingdom can con-
jecture what still remains hidden, from the nature of
those piecemeal revelations. They can judge accord-
ing to the old classic phrase, ex pede Herculem. Or
rather they can detect the peculiarity of the entire
policy accepted by Lord DERBY for the future guid-
ance of himself and his colleagues from the little
even now actually visible—as CUVIER was enabled,
from a solitary member or a single bone, to build up
in his imagination the whole framework of some
antediluvian monster—a mastodon or an ichthyosau-
rus. At this opportune moment the Telfgraph asserts
plainly enough the character of the measures which
will be required from the existing Cabinet by its
upholders, in the event of their obtaining anything
like a working majority in the ensuing Parliament.
"From Lord DERBY immeasurably more is expected
than Lord Joliet attempted." More of what ? The
Legisleive endeavours in which the Ea-P2EMIER was
defeated were very peculiar. The reason of the de-
feat demonstrates this sufficiently. That reason was
nothing less than a recognition by the Tories that
the proposed changes went too far, and by the Li-
berals that they went not far ouough. In proof
of this—look at Lord JOHN'S outline of Parliamentary
Reform introduced by him to the notice of the House
of Commons in February. It was discarded at once :
and why ? Because the advocates of Parliamentary
Reform saw, at a glance, that it was inadequate ;
and because the opponents of Parliamentary Reform
conceived at the same moment that it was dangerous

most prominent leader of the Tractarians, fd, h e became
an

r
of the celebrated tract No. 90, that produced such ex-
traordinary results among the Puseyiteparty. Like Dr.
AcnILLT, he abandoned the creed in which he had
been educated, and having formally professed the
doctrines of Roman Catholicism, was admitted as a
priest of that Church.
It is much to be regretted that the defendant per-
mitted hie zeal to induce him to make the grave end
serious accusations against the character of the pro-
secutor, of the truth or accuracy whereof he could
have had no personal knowledge. The cause of true
religion can never be promoted by coarse invective or
virulent abuse of an opponent. How could con-
flicting doctrines be tested by the morality
or immorality of an individual ? If every
one of the issues taken by the defendant had been
clearly established, if the jury bad decided that Dr.
Acareu had been guilty of all the matters laid to
his charge, how could it have advanced the
interests of any Christian church ? The open
and unblushing infidel, or the smooth tongued
hypocrite might exult publicly or privately
at the filthy and disgusting details brought
under the consideration of the Court, and
circulated throughout the entire country, but every
man of religious feeling, whether Protestant or
Roman Catholic, must regret the melancholy
exhibition, which, whatever might be the verdict,
could not benefit any cause, sect, or party.
Dr. NEWMAN was unquestionably the aggressor.
He deliberately made the charges which, with a vast
expenditure of time, labour, and money, he endea-
voured to sustain, but which the jury (with the
single exception of the 19th charge—that relating to
the judgment of the Inquisition, so far as it went)
declared not to have been proved. And yet, we have no
doubt that Dr. NeweLter,when preferring these charges,
believed them to have been well founded, and that
he was not actuated by malice in the ordinary sense
of the term, that is to say, against the individual
Acrnam; but rather conceiving—erroneously con-
ceiving—that he was serving the creed he had adopted
by exposing a seceder from its principles, and
doctrines. That he acted rashly and indiscreetly is
beyond question, but certainly the case is very dif-
ferent, so far as the motives of the defendant are con-
cerned, from the ordinary libels that occupy the atten-
tion of courts of justice.
Again, as we would not have considered it
any defeat of the Protestant party if Dr.
Acneem had been found guilty of the immorality laid
to his charge, we cannot look upon his acquittal as
any great cause of triumph to Protestants, or con-
fusion to Roman Catholics. There are good and bad
men in every sect, and converts have been influenced
occasionally by unworthy as well as by laudable
motives. A man may be mistaken. He may
abandon the better and purer faith on strictly
conscientious grounds, while he may seek it for very
different reasons. His character and conduct cannot
affect the doctrines of the church he has chosen, or
that which he has deserted, for good or evil. We,
therefore, earnestly hope that henceforward such
matters may be avoided, and that, if polemical dis-
putes cannot be eschewed, care may at least be taken
that they should not be suffered to infringe the just
limits of controversy, or trench upon the sacred do-
main of private character.
