LONDON:
MONDAY, APRIL 8, 1639.

i We have been a little struck at perusing the
locubrations of some of our Contemporaries, to
-.. find some elaborate.calculations of what the Tories
ll will gain, and what the Radicals will gain by turn-
1, ina out the Whigs, while not one word is said of
I
l ssliat the country will gain. We, however, pretend
to be of the party of the country, we look to the 1
I whole public, and we want to know what the public
I will gain by the change which some Radical
1 Journals, mid not all the Tory Journals, are most
anxious to bring about ? This is the question
-which we propose briefly to examine ; but first we
:-east express our astonishment that al y Journalists
purposes in statesmen, who can gain much by
s'Ludying their own interests, and gratifying their
own ambition, when those Journalists, who can
i gain nothing by partizanship, continually overlook
Ithe country in their piny zeal. Somewhat more
i honesty, and somewhat more boldness, must per-
' vade the Press, before it will be qualified to inspire
. •- the Whigs with moral courage, and teach the Tories
a love of justice.
What will the country gain by turning out the
present Ministers ? is the question to be solved. Of
every such change nothing is more certain than no
person can tell where it
will stop. A change of
7'ilinisters is the displacing a great variety of sub-
ordinate persons, and bringing in new hands to the
riblic offices to carry out new measures. All such j
chancres produce apprehension and alarm ; and they
. chancres
excite, till the new Ministry be fully installed, and
particularly if there be any doubt of its stability
and of its power to carry on the Government, a
general feeling of uneasiness. We make no account
of the individuals who are in office, for as many
i claimants are satisfied as there are persons dispos-
-1 tressed, but a change in the Ministry is a change in
the mode of governing a country ; it is the adop-
tion of other principles as well as other men, and
should not be recommended, so far as the public is
concerned, whatever may be counselled by indivi-
dual ambition, unless required by very strong reasons.
If the present Ministers be displaced, it is gene-
rally admitted that Sir ROBERT PEEL and the
{
Tories would succeed them. Even the Weekly
Chronicle, which points out the necessity of a new
combination amongst the Whigs, has no doubt that
the Tories would come in if the Whigs were to be
banten. We have to look, therefore, at the Tories as
- the successors of the Whigs, and we ask our readers
.a wtiat respect that would benefit the country ?
The landlords might then *feel convinced that the
. Corn-laws would be safe ; they might even hope to
get from the Legislature, if they should require it,
additional duties. The Church would be at once
secure. No means would be taken to relieve the
Dissenters from Church-rates, or to place Church
property on a more rational foundation ; but
Charch extension would be fostered in Scotland,
and large additional grants would be made to the
Church in England. Sir R. PEEL has emphati-
sally said, mor• than once, that he regards it as the
first duty of the State to provide religious instruc-
tion for the people. What is done by the Dissenter
is for him nothing : it must be provided by the
state, and in connexion with the national Church ;
and he would be bound by his own declarations, as
es4l as forced by his allies, to give us more of that
Chinch of which the Times has already told us we
have too much. He would be compelled by the
rftrty for whose behoof and by whose votes he would
!
ee carried into power, and whose abominable perse-
eoting doctrine as to the Catholics, and as to
hy'Ei •
,Dissenters,; 1.0 has never disclaimed, to
give effect to the principles of the anti-DENS
and other bipts. He and his friends, too,
are determinedly opposed to the Chartists, and,
being 113 05:.te, they must either come over to the
W tug dporige concerning the meetings of the peo-
pLa, or they must put down the Convention and its
suprmters by the strong hand. They must begin
a career of political and religious persecution, or
they mist forfeit all claim to consistency. Some
advantage results front the character of public men
being preserved unsullied, and much more from
the public peace being maintained, and one or other
ssould be endangered by the accession of the Tories
to power. We should look for no inconsiderable
n.' cainiotion in England, and Ireland would be thrown
into a fever by their success. We should have at
least a year's turbulence, perhaps turbulence
would ex Cite the use of force on the part of
the aathorities, and we should have bloodshed,
if not civil war. Would that serve the public

cause ?

One of the reasons continually assigned by some
Ralical Journals for their wish to turn out the
Wnigs, is that then they would be able to raise the
Enthusiasm of the country, and obtain another great
reform. They avow, therefore, that they seek
Political improvement through commotion. We
y--it honestly state that we do not go with them.
deb as we desire to see, our institutions improved,
v, doubt whether that is to be accomplished during
period of great political excitement ; and we know
political institution so valuable as the preserva-
of peace, and the encouragement of the kindly
