I SPIRIT OF' THE PUBLIC j LAN ALS.

We prepared our reader's en Tne&day for the result
of the Bridgewater election. When ;Fre learned that
Mr. Holmes and Mr. Croucher had reached that town
amply provided 'with the sinews of war, we knew
enough of .the good folks there to be able to predict
the issue without difficulty or hesitation. Mr. Broad-
wood, a week or two ago, considered his prospects

most unfavourable ; and if Mr. Sheridan had out-
stripped him in the race of bribery he would have been
returned. In most of the Boroughs of England, espe-
cially the old Boroughs, it is well known that about
tithe or so of the voters are ready to sell themselves to
the highest bidder. When the majority of Tories or
Reformers is so great as to outnumber the venal voters,
bribery becomes superfluous ; but when parties are
nearly balanced gold alone gives the victory. In this
case the return of Mr. Broadwood merely proves
that the Tories had made up their mindss to pay
the necessary price. They can not be said to have
corrupted the Electors of Bridgewater, because
they were already corrupted to their hand—and
they are welcome to the triumph of having, by
base means, obtained the suffrages of a base consti-
tuency. Some of our correspondents state that the
corruption can be easily proved ; and Mr. Sheridan
will, in that case, be yet the sitting Member. We wish
such may be the result ; and we know that very clever
people (as witness the late Ipswich election) have,
notwithstanding a considerable expenditure of more
than money, put their foot in it, as the adage says.
But we confess we place little reliance on this source
of hope ; being persuaded that Mr. Holmes and Mr.
Croucher are too experienced in these matters to allow
agency to be proved. The point is to establish the
connection between Mr. Broadwood and the men who

pocketed the money of the Carlton Club ; and though
on that subject there may be evidence to satisfy any
man of sense, there will not, we fear, be.. evidence to
satisfy a Parliamentary Committee.—Morniit Chron.

Our peace-loving Tories, who were nothing loathe
to encourage the great armed gathering atHillsborough,
and to extol to the Heavens the bristling bayonets and
neat pocket-bibles of the Orangemen who mustered in
thousands about my Lord Roden's chariot-wheels at
Rathfriland, have conceived a squeamish horror of a
public meeting attended by unarmed thousands in the
Coburg Gardens. If they could manage to post Sir
George Rich at the wicket, with a discretionary power
of picking and choosing who should enter and who
remain without, their scruples might become less nice,
and their trepidation not quite so affecting. But the
majority being likely to go against them, they have
thought proper to fill themselves with an extraordinary
alarm for the safety of the town. All their journals are
wonderfully of one mind on the policy of being horribly
afraid, and exhorting the citizens to bar their doors and
prime their muskets against invasion. The Evening
Packet of Thursday says—
_ . -

•
" To the Protestants of the city and county of Dublin,
and of the other parts of Leinster, we will just say, arm
for your defence.' The man with the means of protec-
tion within his reach, who, under present circumstances,
should trust himself to the tender mercies or forbearance
of a mob so congregated and so incited, would deserve
neither sympathy nor commiseration. We trust there will
be none such found either in Dublin or out of it. We
speak advisedly, and after the most mature reflection ; and
again we say, Protestants of Leinster, be prepared to de-
fend your houses, your property and your lives !"
The Evening Mail of Friday lets out a little more
of the secret :

" Seeing, therefore, that all eibrts arc fruitless to'rouse
the Government to a sense of the danger to which the loyal
inabitants of this city are exposed, or of the duty incum-
bent on it, as the executive power, to protect the peace
and prevent outrage, there remains nothing for the loyal
inhabitants to do but to take all due precautions for their
own safety. Let every man look to his own fortress and
provide for its security. Let every man furnish himself
with arms and ammunition, both for the defence of himself
and the assistance of his fellow-citizens." _

The Warder of Saturday, taking up the catch, sings
out thus fearfully :
" We consider it our first duty, not only to our fellow-
citizens, but to the country at large, earnestly to caution
the Protestants of the metropolis and its immediate vicinity
to be armed, and prepared for the worst."
And, last of all, the Evening Packet, returning to
the fearful theme, sends its Saturday night readers
quaking to their beds with this lullaby :
" At the list meeting in the same place blood was spilled,
Protestants, blood was shed, and impunity was subsequently
given by Lord Mulgrave to an individual connected with
the;bloody deed!!!
"The Lord Mayor should look to the peace of the city ;

he should cause the troops to guard the avenues to the me-
tropolis, and prevent marauders from the country entering.
He is answerable for the peace of his district, and, as he
loves himself ai;4 his fellow-citizens, he should look to the
frightful event, which is threatened. If the military and pc-
lice be not sufficient, he should swear in special constables,
and the first man he should exercise his authority upon is

the Earl of Charlemma, the leading tool of the Popish
Faction. A word to the wise." _ _

All-this seems to " denote a foregone conclusion ;'
for it rarely happens that such perfect concert is
formed amongst the conductors of those oracles. No
doubt they speak but as they are inspired by instruc-
tions from the Parliamentary chiefs of their faction in
London ; and that if the purpose of this repeated sum-
mons to arms were not to excite a tumult and a san-
guinary collision, it was intended to found a hideous
uproar against Lord Mulgrave upon this factitious con-
sternation of his Majesty's good city of Dublin. No
body, vorporate or politic, has a better strung set of
nerves than your regular Irish Tories : they know
when tt; tremble, and when to be hardy as the Ne-
mean lions. We were fully prepared for a re-enaction
or tha acetic in the Tower, where Richard and Bucking-
ham (reptcoened by Sergeant Jackson and Emmerson
Tennent) come Upon the, stage 6' in rusty armour,
marvellous ill-favoured." The Government took proper
precautions to ensure tai. peace of the city against any
disturbance which might haw: arisen in consequence of
these truculent counsels of the To press. A strong
police force was in readiness, and the :Military power
was at hand, should any tumult have oceurreti it
was the opinion of Alderman Darley, the chief pots
Magistrate of the city, that the appearance of a single
soldier or policeman was unnecessary ; and not a
single occurrence took place to interrupt the good hu-
mour and triumph which this great and splendid meet-
ing diffused through the immense multitucte of
which it was composed. The terrors prepense of the
Orange press have miserably failed even to produce
the semblance of fear upon their own party. We
learn from an intelligent correspondent that the shops
were all open as usual, and the streets crowded more
than usual with carriages and numerous patties of
ladies, who took advantage of the beautiful weather.
No man—Protestant or otherwise—looked as if he
expected his house to be sacked or his blood spilled
that night ; but all of the Tory party who ventured
to look in upon the vast and orderly assemblage by
which the entire spacious extent of the gardens was
covered, and the numbers of noble and distinguished
persons of influence, and talent who crowded the
platform, looked blue enough. They could not help
it—not even the victory of " the great unchanged"
could make their spirits easy under such .a de-
monstration. - From ten o'clock •in the morning
the people poured in one continuous stream into
the gardens, and there must have been at
least 40,000 persons on the around when Lord
Charlemont took the chair. His Lordship was
greeted with the hearty acclamations of the whole as-
sembly, who were indeed delighted to see " his father's
son" placing himself where his family banner should
ever be seen to wave—in front of a great constitutional
battle for the freedom of his country. The Union
flag was very appropriately hoisted at the right of the
chair. The resolutions passed at this meeting are ad-
mirably drawn up, and were introduced to the meeting
in speeches of considerable power by sonic of the most
eminent Reformers now in Leland. Sir William So-
merville, who has declared himself a candidate for

Drogheda, made a very favourable impression by the
manly and graceful manner in which he spoke.
Along with a fund of good sense and tight consti-
tutional feeling, he possesses all the physical re-
quisites of an effective public speaker, and will
be a valuable addition, both by what he brings and
what he drives away (for he will certainly drive away
ltandal Plunket), to the Irish_ party in the House.
The. attentioA of the people, throughout the
proceedings, to everything that was said, and their
well-timed approbation of the most striking passages

in the several speechesiindicated a remarkable degree
of intelligence a 9 well an earnest participation and
concord with the feelings which inspired the sneakers.
In nothing was their concurrence more animated or
marked than in the plaudits which they bestowed
ttpart the beautiful and truly Protestant speech of Mr.
Berwick. Our correspondent was amongst the crowd
while that gentleman spoke ; and though we have long
had good reason to know the liberal disuositions and
opinions of his
,Catholic countrymen of the humbler
classes, he was not prepared for the warm and unaf-
fected expressions of delight with which they testified
to one another their admiration of Mr. Berwick's fer-
vent declarations of attachment to the Protestant reli-
gion. " That's an honest man," " That's a true
Protestant," were ejaculations which ineoluntarily
passed from n-louth to mouth, as his most energetic as-
sertions of devotion to the faith of which he is se dis-
tinguished an ornament and supporter came from his
lips.—Morning Chronicle.
Our thesis 'for many months past has been, that po-
litical sentiment throughout this country, as compared
with what wore its tendencies when Lord Melbourne
accepted office under O'Connell, is in a course of
rapid and deciided re-action; and if the Reform Bill,
which has placed such extensive powers in the hands of
whole classes which formerly were powerless—if that
Bill be good for any thing as a test of the will thi-ough
which such Rowers are exercised—the elections which
have taken place under its provisions, ever since the
accession of this Melbourne Ministry to the Govern-
ment, have, in three cases out of four, demonstrated
the repugnance of the Constituent body to endure the
O'Connell slvay. The long series of Parliamentary
vacancies which within these two years, and after
struggles mote or less severe, have been filled by
Conservative i`tandidates, are too well known-to call for
any recapitulation. The Westminster contest, and the
results of it, are in themselves a volume. Is is the
first instance for perhaps forty years in %71iich the Ra.
dical spirit has sustained from WestininsteNany very.
signal overthrow, and the supporters of the Co'7lstitti-
tion have mustered about seven to six. The citL'dcl
of democracy is thus razed to the earth. The Bridge-
water election has ended like that of Westminster.
The slave of Radicalism has there likewise been chased
out of the borough. The constitutional voters are
279 to 221—in pund numbers, rather better than five
to four. We are told, indeed, that the people of
Bridgewater have ever shown themselves a corrupt Con-
stituency. Then by what process was it that Colonel
Tynte, a gentleman reputed to have a large estate,
and Mr. Leader, a nouveau riche who has no ob-
jection, as we have been informed, to bleed pro-
fusely—how came it that they were returned at the
former election ? 'Were the Bridgewater voters in

1835 corrupt or pure ? If venal, the old and young
Radical, who had the majority of their suffrages, must
have succeeded through corruption. If pure, then
what proof of their degeneracy is afforded by the re-
turn of Mr. Broadwood in preference to Mr. Sheridan,
enriched by the daughter and other property of the
late Sir Colquhoun Grant ? It has been the
feeling of those who best know England that no-
thing would be more injudicious than any posi-
tive or intermeddling efforts, on- the part of the
Conservatives, to hasten the dissolution of the
existing (so called) Cabinet, or the period of
their own advent to power. Were the revo-
lutionary spirit advancing, the prpdent line of conduct
would be directly opposite; were public spirit in even
a questionable state, the policy might be to give it a de-
termined bias by some initiatory movement of the
Conservative chiefs. But the vessel is carried forward
in her"natural course by the free action of the unas-
sisted current : she requires neither steam nor canvass
to accelerate her. When Conservatism succeeds o
office, therefore it will be like a legitimate guardian re-
entering on his lawful trust. The right will be uni-
versally recognized, and things will resume those whole-
some relations which some unrighteous intruder had
forcibly suspended.— Times.
The noisy triumph of tke Tories in all parts of the
kingdom sufficiently marks their sense of the truth of
Burdett's assertion, that his politics are unchanged.
They give the lie direct to their own prot4i. Sir
Francis himself has ended consistently his triumphant
assassination of the cause which he has so long pre-
tended to espouse, by taking his seat among the Peelite
section of the Opposition—the very men whom he
once denounced as enemies of the people, and desig-
nated by the most abusive epithets which his rich vo-
cabulary of abuse could produce. We are convinced
that the people generally will not suffer such conduct
as that of Sir Francis Burdett to pass without signal
retribution. We are satisfied that the Tories will finally
have to laugh on the wrong side of their mouths.
Good always springs out of evil for the just cause.
So just and sacred is the cause of the people, that we
are satisfied that the temporary check which it has re-
ceived—by the most unheard-of treachery, and the
most contemptible coalition—will finally tend to its
more signal and decisive triumph. Taking the view
which we have always taken, that the irresistible drift
of society is towards an infinitely more improved social
structure, than that under which such treacheries and
such collusions as time above can be perpetrated with
impunity, we arc very little affected by time trumpery
struggles of individuals, or sectiosas of factions. We
consider them of very little consequence ; they are cer-
tainly not of sufficient consequence to ruffle the pillow
of any foresighted politician. The mighty crises which
are preparing for the world will soon consign these
noisy squabbles of over-grown babies to oblivion and
contempt. Nay, we think the event is calculated to do
good—it is calculated to open the eyes of the people,
and to prove to them that they must in future trust to
the professions of no man for, the redress of the nume-
rous abuses which grind them to the earth ; but trust
solely to the energy, sagacity, and perseverance of their
own determined will.
" Hereditary bondsmen, know you not,
Who would be free, himself must strike the blow?"
With regard to Sir Frai'cis himself, we shall express
our honest conviction of his conduct in plain terms.
That conduct has tended, more than anything that
been done for these fifty years, to bring political
opinior;'; political men, and political into public
contempt. . Westminster's pride" has wide the very
name of patriot stink in the public nostrits. With
him, according to his own showing, politics are no-
thing but a standing lie. What man of honour who
hates lies and liars "as the gates of hell," can in
future hazard contamination by mixing himself up
with such turbulent brawlers as Sir Francis Burdett
has been ? This vain and weak old man persists in
averring that be is unchanged, and that he has always
been a Tory ? What, then, must his supporters be,
who have been returning him during thirty years for
Westminster ? Either they must have been the great-
est dolts to have been deceived by hint, or he must
have been the greatest of knaves so pertinaciously to
have deceived them. This was the real gist of the
question mooted at Westminster. Shall unprincipled
politics triumph, and shall political honesty be a
mockery and a bye-word ? Shall the people be hence-
forward and for ever justified in withholding their sup-
port from any man who courts them by an external
advocacy of the politics of the people ? By the re•
turn of Burdett a premium is offered for the most
profligate apostacy. The return pronounces all poli-
tical honesty to be sheer humbug. Any rich and vain
fool may in future impose upon and assassinate them
under the May-day garb of tinsel patriotism. Arc
the people never to be relieved from bearing the pe-
nalty of these contemptuous tricks on their good
.na-
ture ? If they submit to it without dashing back their
scorn into the teeth of the scorner, they deserve to be con-
sidered what the two great factions of the aristocracy

ant instruments of their dirty and selfish purposes

The defeat" 41q... Aeridan, the Whig-Radical can-
didate for kiiidgevY'ltear, is the appropriate sequel to
the adventurei-,,,0f:
*the " unfortunate youth," Mr.
Leader, in' eo;llkPister. The latter had declared that
lie never wouiddes
eithis constituents of Bridgewater,
only a few weeks kmefore he declared himself a candidate
for the " most veil
minster. The
, ,ret voices" of the electors of West-
,f.Ormer was sent by the Whig,Radical
party to console. the electors of Bridgewater for the
desertion of ;'Mr. Leader ; but the electors happening
to.have "c will of their own," chose to console them-
selves fr-'
the loss of Mr. Leader by accepting the suit
Broadwood, the Conservative, who had been
-,-1-fen by a small majority at the former election. For
the additional proofs of the weakness of the Whig
Government, recently afforded by the triumph of Bur-
dett in Westminster, and the defeat of Sheridan in
Bridgewater, the Whigs can only blame themselves.
They intrigued with the Radical " rump" to turn Bur-
dett out of Westminster and get a Whig-Radical into
his place. It is true, the ill health of Burdett had
for some time past prevented him from attending to his
duties in Parliament ; but if that were the real reason
for calling on him to resign, why was not Col. Evans,
who has utterly deserted his post for two years past, in
order to earn-some thousands of Spanish piastres, called
upon to resign also ? If Burdett had retired to
Brighton to endeavour to recover his health, he was at
:e ust more innocently engaged than the man who had
got into Parliament upon the ground of being an im-
placable opponent of corporal punishments, and has
since distinguished himself not by beating the Carlists,
but by, vigorously flogging the Westminster grena-
* diers. He was not called upon to resign, and it is clear
the whole thing was a plot concocted between the
Whig Government and the Whig-Radical rump to
strengthen the hands of Ministers by driving Bur-
dett out of the representation, getting a Whig-Radi-
eal iii his place, and thrusting another Whig-Radical
into the vacancy for Bridgewater. In both points
the Milisters have been signally defeated : the plot
has exploded only to cover them with shame and
confusion. They have not the consolation that the
insforttnie was unavoidable, for they have brought it
upon themselves by superior cunning and elaborate
,iir;enuity. They have revealed their own weakness in
v way that it was impossible for their bitterest ene-
mies, w:thout such s contrivance on their own part, to
I.,veal it. Never was Whig blundering and stupidity
Ica la more manifest to the world. By the result of
tirni- own " Westminster plot the Ministers have lust
,a hat is equivalent to two votes ; but what is the nu-
merical loss compared with the moral consequences to
Whiggery of the two defeats which the O'Connell-
e,hourne Cabinet has sustained in Westminster and
rewater ? In Westminster Sir Francis Burdett,
declaring himself t:ie uncompromising champion of
oce• institutioas in Church and State, and denouncing
the Popish patrons of the Ministry, beats the Govern-
ment candidate by a clear majority of 515 ; and in
liridgcvvater, Mr. Broadwood, standing upon pre-
cisely the same principles, though beaten at the former
e;, ctioa by 18, now beats the Government candidate
1;v 58. Are there here no proofs of Constituiional
re- !ction ?-L-Morning fleraid.
Mr. Sharman Crawford has addressed a letter to the
peopie of Ireland, on the subject of the new Irish Tithe
bill. It contains a vast deal of good homely truth ;
amid, though Mr. Sharman Crawford's views are as
flia.netrically opposite to our own as the principles of
Lord Palmerston in 1817 to the principles of Lord
Palmerston in 1837, we find ourselves agreeing with
e,err other paragraph which drops from his pen. Mr.
Sharman Crawford begins upon that.part of the !locus-
pens which promises a bonus of 30 per cent. to the
lithepaver upon the commutation of his tithe ; and he
settles, pertinently and pithily, the question of the
amount of gain to be derived by the poor, ragged,
}hungry peasant from this encroachment on the Parson's
irwoine. " Recollect," says our friendly foe, " this 30
per cent. is offered avowedly as a bonus to the land-
lords. Now, let me ask yon this plain question, how
can it be a bonus to the landlords unless it be levied
off the tenants? When the tenant comes to make a
anew bargain he will find to his cost the truth of
my assertion. He will not only have to pay the
tithes, but let him- rest assured that he will also
have to pay to the landlord proctor's fees. The unfor-
tunate tenants of Ireland may perhaps be taught to
curse the day when they transferred the tithe to this new
taskmaster, to be the proctor for the Established
Church." All this is perfectly true—nay, it is ex-
ceedingly trite. It is obvious that every shilling re-
mitted in the shape of tithe to the tenant will be ex-
acted in the shape of rent by the landlord ; and that
the landlord's claim will be far more punctually ad-
vanced, and far more rigidly urged, than ever the Mi-
nister's has been. The marvel is, that, with this self-
evident proposition staring us in the face, we should
find one knave impudent enough to assert, one knave
credulous enough to believe, that Ireland will be bene-
fitted by a transfer of a certain part of a particular pro-
perty from the Clergyman, in whom we have witnessed
forbearance, and upon whom we may enforce re-
sidence, to the landlord, who is uniformly more
severe, and who has a right to be an absentee.
Mr. Sharman Crawford proceeds to cc the ether con-
siderations connected with this affair," and admi-
nisters to the honest promoters of the " abstract re-
solutions" so sound a castigation that even in Con-
servative hands it is difficult to imagine the lash more
heartily or effectually wielded. " How," he asks,
" did the present Administration put out their oppo-
nents ? The appropriation clause. How have they
held office ? The appropriation clause. Why is it
surrendered ? Because the surrender would now pro-
mote the longer retainment of dice. Former profes-
sions are, then, cast to the winds." Again we assent
to the truth of Mr. S. Crawford's doctrine. We fore-
told, at the commencement of the Session, that the
House of Commons would not this year see the appro-
priation clause, nor any part of the appropriation clause,
nor anything like the appropriation clause. 'We were
not mistaken. The appropriation clause is abandoned,
And since Lord John Russell's resolution, still unre-
scinded, binds the House of Commons to this propo-
sition, that, without the distinct affirmation of the ap-
propriation principle, "no measure upon the subject
of tithes in Ireland can lead to a satisfactory and
final adjustment," we can conceive no cause or mo-
tive for the abandonment but that which the letter
on which we are commenting imputes—the miserable
love of pay and place, which were obtained on disgrace-
ful terms, and are to be defended, it seems, on terms
yet more disgraceful. But, as Mr. Sharman Crawford
justly observes, " Some mask must be-found, under the
cover of which Irish and English Liberal Members
may be called on to sustain this abandonment of prin-
ciples and professions. What is it ? You are first
to_ confirm the title of the Church to all her pos-
sessions, and then you are to .take from the Clergy
a taxation of ten per cent., without any title at all
to demand it. You are first to be spoliated- your-
selves, and then you are to become spoliators in
turn. The ghost of Henry VIII. is to be called
forth, to become the protestor of the religious liber-
ties of the Catholics of Ireland. This Act says,
the Clergy must be sworn to keep schools, to
teach the English language ; but observe, it also
says, that the clergy are to take the accustomed stipend
or salary. How, then, does is give this new title to
taxation ?" How, indeed ! Mr. Sharman Crawford

I, Ord Morpeth will talk for an hour—Mr. Spring
ILi te will talk for two ; but no answer will Mr. Shar-

mail; Crawford receive. He puts another interrogatory
adinits of an easier reply ; and he replies to
it himself explicitly and satisfactorily. " And after

all," says he to the poor peasants, who are promis-
ing themselves ten per cent. out of the vicar's in-
come in the shape of horn-books and primers—
" After all, if you had this ten per cent., what
would you gain 2 Nothing. You already get
this money from the national funds, and you would
get as much more as would be required." * *
* * * It is indeed so, though few, like Mr.
Sharman Crawford, have the candour to confess
it. The English Parliament has shown no reluct-
ance to consider the subject of Irish education,
and to provide funds for its promotion. But the silly,
or profligate men who agitate about the surplus, and
the appropriation, and the Clergy tax, care as little for
the education of the Irish as for the conversion of the
Hindoos. They look with little interest to the pur-
pose for which money is wanted ; but they look with
intense avidity to the source whence money is to be
drawn. Their pretext is to instruct the peasant ; their
purpose is to pauperize the pastor. We are glad to
find points of agreement with an adversary, now that
the advent of spring, and the elections for Westminster
and Bridgewater, have put us into the best possible
temper. We will not, therefore, discuss with Mr. S.
Crawford the matters on which we should quarrel with
him. We cannot admit that one of the objects of the
scheme introduced in place of the appropriation clause
is " to benefit the Church by securing her revenues ;"
but we cordially echo his assurance that another is
"to benefit the expectants of office by holding in a
Government which must serve them."—Morn. Post.
