tution. He decleres that he has abjured constitu- I
tion-mending for ever, and that he will stick to his
last tilt the latest day of his exi.tence. He never
adopted a wiser resolution : we trust he will adhere to
it. Another hero of the quondam Convention, who
rejoices in the honorary title of Doctor, has returned to
the practice of physic—that is to say, whenever he
can get a patient who will swallow any of his nostrums.
For a time he entirely forgot his patients in the pleni-
tude of his anxiety to administer such medicine to a
disordered Constitution as he deemed essential to its
salvation. His patients have now, it would appear, en-
tirely forgot him. Very probably they nave come to
the conclusi that :II his medical skill in the case
of the Cooste iit;eo he country lets been U.ifiled,
there is every reason t.) belie, t tli:.t nest rums wi-iuld
have no better effect on their constitutions. How
mortifying must it prove to the Doctor to rtfloct that
instead of benefiting the health of the English Constitu-
tion by his various prescriptions—and they were cer-
tainly of that class called powerful medicines—he
should have only made matters worse, and lost his
flesh-and-blood patients to the bargain. Poor man!
he has abundant reason to rue the day when he formed
the wild resolution of throwing physic, as his patients
had doubtless often done before him, to the dogs. and
commencing business as patriot in Bolt-court. Another
member of the defunct Convention is a preacher. He
is said to be a Baptist minister. There must be a
mistake here. We are quite sure that no B tptist mi-
nister—none, we mean, belonging to the particular or
Calvinistic branch of that body—could ever have
b come a party to such absurd and unprincipled pur-
poses as those contemplated by the Solons of the Na-
tional Convention. There Was a Unitarian preacher
among the quondam legislators who assembled in the
head-quarters, in Bolt-court, of the " Ancient and Ho-
nourable Lumber Troop," and he, we presume, has
by some mistake or other, been called a Baptist mi-
nister. But be the origin of the error what it may, it
seems the Rev. Gentleman has announced his intention
of delivering a funeral sermon over the remains of
the departed Convention. He has also, it would appear,
intimated his determination to delineate, with a bold
and tearless hand, the character of the defunct ; which
simply means that he will pourtray the characters of its
leading members. Well, if he adhere to his resolution—
if he fulfil his promise—we shall enjoy some rare sport
in these dull days. A faithful portraiture, " by one of
themselves," of the restless and reckless spirits that
figured in the Bolt-court Legislature, will be such a
treat as can only .be enjoyed once or twice in an age.
Of course the sermon will be published. It will go
through edition after edition with an unheard-of velo-
city. The Rev. Gentleman, we warrant him, will make
more from the proceeds in one little week than he re-
ceived from his Chartist constituents during the three
months he performed his part in the National Conven-
tion farce. Then, there is Feargus O'Connor. Feargus
was so chagrined at the ludicrous termination of the
Convention's labours, or rather the circumstances under
which its dissolution took place, that he at first resolved
on summoning another, and supporting the members
out of his own pocket. That resolution, however,
seems to hare been no sooner formed than abandoned.
Not only has he relinquished the idea of a Convention
of his own, but he appears to have given up the idea
of Conventions of any kind or under any circumstances.
He seems to have lost all partiality to Bolt-court Par-
liaments, and to have been suddenly seized with a des-
perate fondness for the rival Legislature assembling in
St. Stephen's. And in the overflewings of his affec-
tion for the House of Commons, he has already started
as a candidate for the representation of five or six
places. We do not pretend to remember the names of
all ; bat the first constituency which he wooed, was
that of the West Riding of Yorkshire, and that to
which he is now paying addresses is the constituency
of Cork. We sometimes hear of people having two
strings to their bow—that number will not satisfy the
ex-conventionalist—he must, at least, have half a dozen.
How many more he has in his eye, nobody can tell.
We can fancy we hear him, when thinking of the
various constituencies on whom he has matrimonial
designs, humming to himself, like Captain Alacheath,
in the Beggar's Opera, I, How happy could I be with
either!" But we fear that no such bliss is in reserve
for him. And yet, why should we say or think so ? If
the brave. be the persons who deserve the fair, why
should not Mr. O'Connor succeed in alluring into wed-
lock with him some one of the many constituencies to
whom he is making the most devoted love ? For the very
fact of his making advances in so many quarters at
once, proves that he is a man of no ordinary bravery.
To be rejected of all would, we are apprehensive, be
attended with those ugly consequences which are so
common in the case of unsuccessful suitors in the pri-
vate walks of life. Though we dislike the Learned.
Gentleman's politics, we could almost wish, in consi-
deration of the boldness and perseverance with which
he besieges constituency after constituency, that some
of them would, out of pure pity, if from no other mo-
tive, take him under their special patronage and pitch-
fork him into the House of Commons.
(From the Morning Post.)
Those politicians who call themselves the great pro-
moters of improvement desire not only to do away with
the hereditary right to take a part in legislation, but
also with all the legal privileges of promigeniture in re-
spect of property, and thus to provide for the breaking
down of the large masses of real wealth which exist in
this country. They would abolish the aristocracies of
the Church and the Universities, and compel all who
enjoy the learned leisure arising from. Church and Gol-
lege endowments to be workers for their daily bread,
and dependent for support upon pleasing those whom
it would be their duty to instruct. They would
take away from even the doubtful endurance of
septenial Parliaments, by making them triennial
or annual. They would repeal the Corn-laws, and
grant every possible advantage and facility to doinmerce
and manufactures, or what they suppose to be advan-
tage, even at the expense of destroying the value of
lauded property in this country. In short, they would
demolish all the things, except (for the present) the
throne, that distinguish the institutions of this empire
from those of the United States of America. They
who would do this call themselves, we say, " improvers,"
" friends of the people," and so on ; and yet what is the
social condition to which, after the convulsion of revo-
lutionary change had been suffered, we should under
their auspices arrive? Why, that which is described to
exist in the commercial cities of New York and Boston.
Would that, we ask, be a desirable change? Is it for such
a consummation as that that we should pay the price of
years of agitation—of public strife—of deadly hate be-
tween opposing parties ? Who can belies e it ? And yet
the persons who struggle to promote such changes in
our public inst;tutions are they who tell us that they
are " iu advance of the country," er, in other words,
that their wisdom seas and determines better for the
country than, in the dullneF,s of general perception, the
country can see and determine for itself ! These, too,
are the persons with whom the Meibourtie Geo, ernment
is obliged to ally itself, because 'Aia Nobility and Gen-
try, and the mess of the people of England, despise
that Government. The members of the existing Go-
vi rnment, whose delight it is to flutter amid the frivo-
lities of the Court circle, would certainly not of their
own will promote such changes as we have enumerated ;
`liUt still they ally themselves with those who do promote
such' changes, because they want their assistance to
keep in place, and they know that the present social in-
stitutions are at all events likely to last their time, let
what will be done towards their overthrow.
(From the Morning Herald.)
The new Poor-law has been upheld by a great ma-
jority of its supporters among the middle classes, from
a belief' that in its operation it would be found less
costly than the old. Each succeeding year proves more
strongly the unsoundness of this opinion. The expense
of enforcing the Act of 1834 is already found to be in
the greater number of parishes in England, more con-
siderable than the expense of the old system. This
result, too, has been evolved, despite the anxiety of the
functionaries, who administer the new law, to keep
down, in the first instance, at all events, the expenses
connected with its working, to the lowest possible point.
These worthies have sought to evade, as far as possible,
the searching influence of public opinion. They have
sought to administer their cruel law in the way least
fitted to excite popular indignation ; and yet, 'despite
the obvious policy of such a course, the inherently-cruel
nature of the measure has baffled their attempts to es-
cape censure of the most withering kind. The new
Poor-law has always been odious in the eyes of Chris-
tians, from its unchristian character. It has always
been obnoxious to sound thinkers, from its obvious im-
policy. It will speedily, as we believe, be universally ob-
noxious to the middle classes, from its terribly-expensive
character. The old Poor-law system was justly charge-
able with many vices and defects. Its administrators,at all
events, did not sufficiently discriminate between voluntary
and involuntary idleness—did not sufficiently guard
against imposture on the part of applicants for parochial
not, systematically, i xact from able-bodied re-
cipients of pie ish aid, equivalents in well-directed labour.
After all these coteassious shall have been made, how-
evi r, thespirii of the old law will till remain unsusceptible
of judicious c, usure , while, on the other hand, all the
objections which might be urged against the old poor-
law, may "with a difference" be urged against the new.
The new law, at least as certainly as the old, fails
to distinguish between the various classes of applicants
for parochial relief—fails to distinguish between impos-
tors and involuntary idlers ; but decides the matter, in
the most summary way imaginable, by regarding all as
impostors, and treating all, as only impostors ought to
he treated ! The expense of the new system will, if
the ;u not mistake, lead, ere long, to its subversion !
