SPIRIT 'of the'POBLIC 'JOURNALS'.

F4Oll TEE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
(Prom the piintS.)'
That the Ministers/ to use a .homely phrase, are on
their last le.s, is clear coongh from the tone of their
journals, their only organs and representatives (beyond
the walls of Windsor Castle). during the recess of
Parliament -• 'I he Landon papers are given up to
speculation upon the. speedy adverit, of Sir Robert
Peel to office; and' of that speculation the unvarying
character is peeVish and querulous despondency. They
no longer calculate the delays or difficulties which
ite.set a Conservative Government on its actta road
to power—no, that halcyon season . is past ; but their
scanty gleams of hope are drawn from the remote and
uncertain prospect of those contingencies through
which a Conservative Government, now recognised as
inevitable, may hereafter possibly be undermined
and shaken, and through which.sonte.generation of yet
unborn revolutionists may recall to sight
,and memory,
after a lapse of Sears, the all but obliterated vestiges of
their now dying predecessors. We cannot desire any
change fur the_better in this chart of the land which lies
before us. A sate and sheltered port is still ready to
.receiye the majestic
.British rrian•ofwar. Fraud and
villariy, and rampant Popery-a-the essence of both—
have spent their entire!force on the sacred vessel. The
shark O'Connell has for years been snapping his serried
taws as she laboured through the sea of anarchy, but
while the State, recovering its balance, glides once more
steadily forward in the course of law, arid peace, and free-.
domithe monsterof revolution, with the Government which
ix supported, plunges and fllunders in despair. Words
have begun to recover their natural meaning. Lies
no longer pass fOrs truth, nor sounds
.for things. The
oeoplb of England have riot now to learn that political
Popery is another naive for perjury,, and that O'Con-
aellism is an amalgam of avarice, cowardice, and trea-
son. the late: movements of the Irish :traitor
have been but writhings of his mortal agony. With
redoubled fury the powei-s of life are fast evaporats
tog. lie 'halloos on his. hounds against whatever is
most-true,. healthy, and. energetic in The empire ; but
the cry of the bloodhounds is feeble, their spirit flags.
and their pace falters.' England herself is put under
ban by this persecutor of the word of. God, and
practical. excommunicator of all honesty and virtue.
He sees in England nothing but what provokes the
refined palate. of a bog-trotting ruffian to ." disgust !"
Such is his declaration-. .We are denounced by this
favourite pupil of St. Omer's 'as a "disgraced people
of passive slaves." Great, oh Popery, is tiny zeal for
freedom ! The humbugging beggarman falls foul of
the Times for having defended the Lord-Lieutenant of
Glamorganshire, the Marquis of Bute, from his reviling-s.
We did so deliberately. We do it again. Lord Bute
was a sound and righteous Protestant for refusing to
Deli a. part of his estate to 'a priest. The pretext on
which the demand was made appears to have been the
erection of a Romish mass-house -under the nose of the
Lord-Lieutenant. We honour Lord Bute for his in-
flexible frustration of this at once impudent and insi-
,
dious project. The Noble Lord was thereby rescued
from the risk of having a master over himself and
hottseholif, and a horde of spies and incendiaries planted
at his own threshold for ever. He never could have
got rid. of them. His Lordship further saved the
whole Protestant community of that-district from the
visitation 'of a Perpetual- nuisance, 'in the shape of a Po-
pish colony. fixed. upon. them,_p and yiding them like a
nightmare. There ;la no end'ita the machinations of
these areign slayes„.Pushed on, 'as they are, to every
imaginable encroachment upon Protestants, and offence
to their .tranqUillity, by a despotism the most un-!
relenting that ;the world : ever saw, with future
lanination as the alternative for those recusant
members of the Church of Rome who . flinch
from the execution of her most criminal mandates.
sir. Daniel O'Connell- denies that the Irish priesthood
arc what the 7'imes-hus represented them. No doubt
he gross falsehood of his denial is one which has amply
secured its own' absolution, and a plenary indulgence
for as many more such sins against the God of truth as
it may serve the temporal interest of O'Connell and of
the priesthood who confesses him to propagate. But a
very slight acquaintance with even the recent and public
transactions- Of the Irish priesthood must have well
satisfied the Protestants of Great Britain how just and
true, and far within reality, were the statements of this
journal as to priestly practices, and the mean and base,
the sinister and treacherous ways by which the
.Romish
Church never fails to seek the extension in all quarters
of the influence and doMination of. her Ministers.
Why, Stonyburst has spread the plague of Popery
throughout circuits containing scores of miles. Vast
sums of money, it is well known, have been dedi-
cated by the College of the Propaganda to the sole
purpose of restoring the ascendancy of Romanism in
England. The Englishman, therefore, who exerts
himself to ' stop or retard this torrent merits the
gratitlale of all Protestants who lay their faith,
to heart. As for thiti—Mr. Daniel O'Connell, thii
coarse disturber of the public peace and safety; whose
whole life is one alternation of bullying and skulking,
we should have laboured to little purpose had we not
long possessed ourselves of his hatred by our hearty
manifestations of contempt for his character and abhor-
rence of his sordid, base, and treacherous- intrigues. He
is a bad man, redeemed by no one virtue—false zo
Popery itself, which, on more than one occasion, he
would have betrayed and sold ; and now it shall not be
our fruit if he fail to reap the abundant fruit of his

(From the Morning Chronicle.)

The announcement of the advent of the Penny-post
seems to have deprived the Tories of all powers of utter-
ance. The Times, which fought so valiantly the cause
of the Penny-post last spring, cannot afford a whisper
of Congratulation, -now that its lahmirs are about to be
crowned with success. It prints, indeed, the Treasury
Minute ; but in an insignificant part of its piper, and
without a syllable of comment.: The Post, which, in
the teeth of declarations to the contrary, continued, with
brazen assurance, to assert that the Penny-post was
abandoned, promises, indeed, to say something—a some•
thing likely to prove as veracious and correct as all its
lucubrations on postage since the Tories were baulked
of carrying Mr. .11,11's plan themselves. The country,
in general, or we are much deceived, will receive
the news with feelings far different. . The promp
titude of the Chancellor urthe Exchequer gives ex.
cellent augury for his subsequent career in office,
He has acted, we think, wisely not to wait until the
stamps were prepared. - Stamps have been decried as
unnecessary ; but we shall be much surprised if the pub-
lic demands do not become urgent for their introduc-
tion ; and certainly it is politic to let the publiefee) Ole
want of that which has been sneered at. The speedy
coming of this great measure must doubtless 'be some-
what attributed to the suecessfril issue of the uniform
fourpenny rate, in simplifying the Post-offloo manipulav
tions. We believe that the general conviction amongst
the Post-office authorities is, that the principles of
uniformity and weighing are so advantageous to a rapid
despatch of letters, that; oven-with a finiPpenny rate a
great increase of business might have been undertaken
without any increase of force. • The Queen and the.
humblest maid.2n will in future equally commuaie.ate
their thoughts in a penny stamp ; .se that ,tae highest
personage in the realm has now
'no advantage in this
respect ovetthelowest

row the Morning 44(iverlistr.)
• lOrr.e provincial jiieirialist is " happy to learn" (and
his happiness Is shared hy the metropolitan Tory pres 3)
that the f‘ chiefs of the Conservative party have, at, last
determined to adopt, what the country has 'long
called for, a vigorous course of action on the meeting of
P:irliament." So that this joyful journalist anticipates
the bliss of "congratulating his readers ere long on the
overthrow of the traitorous Ministry, as it has been fitly
termed by tho Duke ofiluckingbam." This announce-
ment is only worth noticing, perhaps, for the sake of
the borrowed epithet which adorns it. The " traitorous"
Ministry, The cry of " treason' raised 'by the Tories,
is the last desperate remedy of the detected knave when
he calls out " thief." We shall next have Min;;(ers
accused of " flat burglary," in, virtue n( the- indo-
mitable resolution of their antart:ists to break into
Doivning-street. 'This s,nrem of retort has been a
trick among scitLipl and depredators, rather more
respectable than some who now adopt it, ever since
the hisliday of roguery. The Tories have for some
! genres past been utterly unscrupulous, and 'not allege-
tiler unsueoessful, in their use of it. In 1835 they,
commenced the work of damaging the new and auspi-
cintrs GoVernment. by Imputing to it—their own
practices! They are assuredly not deficient in self-
knowledge they know their own vices ; and thus
know the Ode ingredients whereof they are themselves
composed; they are aware, too, of the ill-odour that.
follows them ; being keenly alive to the fact 'that no
man is so sure of incurring, by any contrivance what-
soever, political odium in this country, as by deiignat-
ing him Self a Tory. To a government this' applies in
a far stronger degree than to individuals. Accordingly,
when the enemy looked about them for the means of iu-
juring Lord Melbourne's Ministry in public estimation,
what was the worst word they could say of it ? It was
in effect, to all intents and purposes, a " Conservative
Government"---a Liberal Cabinet controlled and
governed by oppositio.l—a Reform . Ministry, 'at the
mercy and under the management • of anti-Reformers!
There was no certain way of ruining the
but by imputing to it., however theoretical',
Liberal, practical Toryism us a consequettc!
This
game was played over and over again, some'
of r Ra-
dicals aiding tho more with far more ' ,
decency. "
al ay after day,
afte-..uexteirty tnan
° boast
tre-echoed,
-«~ ministers were held
rsilessioinn, was the
complete
check—that Sir Robert Peel was virtually Premier,
having a Liberal for his /o:unz tenens—that the Tories
in reality ruled the country,-that the Government was
a " Conservative Government." All this 'served, its
purpose for a' time ;' but 'everylie haS 'its limit ; and
when it was seen that in spite of the " dead lock," and
the " ripeness of the pear," practical reforms tvere the
result of the Liberal union by which the Ministry was
sustained—that the. public service n-as gradually be-
coming petrified by 'the introduction of 'tried friends
of Abe, people into' every- department of the State—
that. such -gaud fruits as- education grants and penny

postages, valuable in theiriselves, and .equally so
as 'promises of more, were "
attainable under
this. " Conservative" Administration, which Was to bring
forth Toryism 'only—a new turn of the old trick became
necessary, and accordingly the Government which but
'the other day Was (virtually) a " Tory Ministry," is
now, by a most felicitous synonyme, converted into a
" traitorous Ministry." The Tories began by imputing
-to the • Liberal 'Cabinet their old
.practices of being
faithless and treacherous to the people ; they end by
imputing to it their new habits, of being " traitorous"
to the sovereign. " The chiefs of the Conservative
party haveat last determined to adopt a vigorous course
oraction," &c.. Have 'they ?' Then observe—if the To-
ries are thus to be banded fer a course of action which
is to overthrow the Government, the Tory chiefs adopt
the views and sentiments of their followers. Sir Robert,•
like the junior Absolute, must' " take the estate with the
live stock on it as it stande--he must take his Brad-
shaws, speeches included. 'His union with the Ultras,
if formed, is formed with a full knowledge of all that,
they have said, done, and written ; he takes them to his
bosom with a foreknowledge of the political leprosy
that renders them loathsome, and from that instant
must abandon every hope orpretence of being personally
uninfected and unspotted. "If there is to be no line of
separation, but .all are to 'make common cause for a
common object, then kthe united Tory party becomes
the " traitorous" party indeed, and Sir Roberi Peel
must be the founder of a traitorous" Ministry. If it
were not disgusting it would be diverting to observe
the gravity of the Tory attempt to fling the odium of
treason upon the representatives of Liberal principles,
and to repel in their own 'persons the charge, after
they have been convicted of it... 1 The Chartists' have
drawn ,a line, which the Tories affect to be one of ac-
quittal to themselves. Tories have not yet taken up
arms; they are not traitors, 'because they only speak
treason, like the good villager of Braybrook,' " who was
not an ass, but only brayed like one." There is no ter-
ror in this threat of a " vigoroUs course of action." No
Reformer in his senses can suppose that, although the
Tories should attain their " majority" ih the spring, they
would, therefore, have " sown their wild oats ;" and no
Reformer in his senses will ever• put a moment's faith
in the sincerity of their reformation, or their fitness for
the government of this moral and enlightened nation.
We read of an animal whoi with an instinct as cowardly
as his thirst for blood is acute, invariably ascends a tree,
from the sheltering.branches'of -which he may drop 'down
upon the neck. of his prey, as it passes unsuspectingly
beneath. .The instinct of -Toryism prompts it to
ascend to power for the indulgence of appetites not
totally dissimilar. • How silly must be its victims it they
should resolve to help the gorged; but still ravenous
brute into the tree, which he.mnst .otherwise attempt to
climb in vain.

enough to chuckle at the poli4iil schisms in the ranks
of the friends of trade and rOdstry, arc blind to the

their eyes to the truth tkitfthey are not so united,
