(From tlio ObsirPer.)

We have now, at one of the most critical and alarm-
ing periods of our history, an Administration formed by
a Wbig Leader, on pure Whig principles, and number-
ing among its ranks almost all of talent or of influ-
ence which could be cellected on such an me:l:skim The
event must he one of satisfaction to all t.luoti who Wye
for sonic time felt it necessary that the principles and
professions of that party should he fairly put to the test.
Hitherto the distinction between Whig and Tory hiss been
nearly this—that the NYhig, out of office, promised every
thing, awl in office did nothing ; told the Tory,:tet..
of office, contented Ititneelf with poitithet out the hollow-
ness and hypocrisy of the Whig, and in office follow .41
that course, unfettered by pledges and unstained by Khan,.
(liniments of principles, which expediency pointed out to
be necessary. We arc now, however, in a new era.
The former vices, and failures, and follies of tilt
Whip, proceeded, we are told, front the deceit prac-
tised behind the throne ; from Owir touderielet for
the underlings they found in 44fii.e, and frequently
from the treachery of pretended friends. They tabe office
now, however, we are assured, under very different nos-
piece. They take office, according to the Globe, "to
carry into effect understood anti declared prineipleo, saute.
tioned by the voice of the majority of the nation et de-
lete elections ; they take office under a /clue frank awl
cordial, beloved by his peopk, Ind desiring t oily to be
beloved by them; and if they are betrayed or,impeiled by
clerks and tnelerliugie it will be a piece of gratoitae, cde;
of which we wilt not prematurely believe them gitdry"--
nous cartons. They bike office, wu center, with
a prospect of usefulness, and we admit they show courage
and devotion in its acceptance ; but if they perfoate bite
one-half they have promised when out of office, they wilt
do uuye than the best friends of the country desire, or thou
we conscientiously believe they intend ; and if they per-
form less, it requires no spirit of prophecy on our pat to
predict that the tlissatiafaction of their present sup-
porters will he great in proportion to their eXpeatt-
tiiifill, and that they will once more he cotripellerl to
' Mire from outraged public opinieu. We take this
view of their course, if the members of the Ailministra.
tion, should prove united iu their views awl opinions;
but when we call to our recollection the divisioes
which prevail on the subject of Reform—of Foreign
Policy—of Trede—of the Currency—anti of the state of
the Agricultural interests, among the prominent penult,'
of the present Cabinet, we vial' bold it little less than
miraculous if they do not fall by their own weakness
within three months of their appointment, and without
suffering even front the efforts of that powerful bed). of
Liberal and Ultra-Tories, who must now be bound togs.
ther by the motualliy of exclusion, We shall nut, ion
looking over the list of the Members of the Caltitiet, pause
to ountast the general efficiency of those who are to fill
office now with that of their predecessors, but there hone
appointment which must fill all who have listened to the
professions and declarations of past times mid seasons
with the -utmost astonishment. Mr. Brougham, after
deeteiming for years ageinstr the presumption, which car-
ries a Common Law Advocate to exhibit his ignorance
in presiding over a Court of Equity, hes himself" yieldeel
to the dear delusion," and accepted the Lord Chancellor-
ship of England and a Peerage. Two days of delibera-
don on the one hand, and of persuasion on the other,
have been rendered as a tribute to the freeholders of York.
shires and the new Lord Chancellor now takes his place on
the Wooleauk free, we suppooe, from all obligations re-
*eating the Slave question (for that no Mioistiy time
tauela as he proposed), and unfettered by any pledges of
supporting that " large and comprehensive ellenge in the
system of represeutetion—that thorough restoration of rho
ancient purity of the Conatitution—whielt wits to /*talo-
as all interests unit combine all °pinkies in its favour."
If Mr. Brougham Abandon') thole Vedgee, he brings, like
his predeeess,r, Lord Lyndhurst, no character to the Ad-
mintstretion. If he vontinuea to uphold, and desires to
fulfil them, his alliance must prove hasardouti.
