LETTER L
TQ THE RIGHT HON. LORD JOHN

RUSSELL.

---
" I for one will n,'tt pass under the yoke."—Extract from Lord
John Russell's
~."'eech on Irish Corporation Bill, Lords'
Amendments.
MT Loan,— It was with th greatest pleasure I read the
above extract, for I did think that the good genius of the house
of Russell had prevailed, and that one, not the least renowned,
of her descendants, clearly perceiving the' snare which had been
laid by a perfidious opponent and by treat:bet-pus allies, had
manfully resolved that your party should not yield and become
the laughing stock of an insulting enemy and the scorn of the
future historian. I hoped this, and will write these !eq., rs for
the sole purpose of calmly hieing before your Lordship and
the Whig aristocracy, cf wteem you may be considcrect the
nresent leader, the exact situation in which the Whigs st end
as a party.
Your _Lordship and the aristocratic Whigs, who supported
Lord Grey A:tad the Reform Bill, are now upon their trial.
Your accusers been skilful in their attack. Ti.eir Fabiaat
policy has been purstted with true Tory subtilty, an,: they have
so drawn the indictment that. the accusation itself alm..st
pliesdishonour ; and yet upnri verdict given on that =cu.
We,ather the name of a Whig
saiion will depend the question,
shall be reverenced, or shall be loathe,: by ourselvea end ; re-
terity ? The accusation made by the Torees, not only 'en ea
avowed organs of the Press, but by their otetors rud
s el 5-
men in both HO'iSeS of Parliament, is this—
" That the Whig Government in 1830 1831, an; the Whig
Nobility, introduced and supported the I?cfornt .o'll under
• the pretence of supporting popular rights, in orde?: to t
• • their party into place and power, whereby they have de-
• ceived the people of these realms."
This- Accusation naturally resolves into two eropositions:--,
1. Have the people been deceived by the representetlone
made by ti';-,e Whigs in 1830. 1831 ?
2. If so, was such deceit wilful, and for dishonest purposes?
Now, nothing is meta' clear than the first proposition, " that
the people have been de..-eived by the repreaent,tionis made
to them by the Whigs in 1830' and 1831," bet only in isolaten
points, such as the promise made that no Member should be
returned by less than 300 constitueiNgt but in the whole tenor
and effect of the Reform Bill. I catenot put this in a mere
striking and accurate point of view ti,-en to suppeie that
yout Lordship, when introducing the Re.(onn Bill to the
notice of the people of England, through their ,Tpresentati",s,
after having stated the leading features of the ate; sure had
said—" The Government, Sir, have now proposed for Ole con-
sideration of this House, and the people at large, a plena Re-
form which will undoubtedly remove many anomalies in our
Constitution; it will secure to the people for two or three
years a fair choice of their representatives, when bribery anti
corruption will be extensively practised, judicially proved, and
yet Parliament will apply no remedy. intimidation will be so
openly avowed and resorted to that many of the electors will
be obliged to vote contrary to their opinions, at:d others will be
ruined because they will not go to the hustings with a lie in
their mouths. Parliament will recognize the evil, but will
refuse to adopt the only remedy proposed. Votes will be
manufactured in conformity with the letter, but contrary to the
spirit, of the Reform Bill ; and a host of pauper or servile de-
perjents will swamp the honest votes of independent electois•
pavnam,:t will admit the fact, but will apply no remedy. As
the natural coi:..sequences of these thii:gs, the Whigs will find
their numbers, at p:esent amounting to three-fourths of the
House of Commons, dwindle away to a bic'e majority, and
even that majority composed of many who hate their conduct
only less than that of Tories ; and to crown all, numerous bo-
dies of the working classes, justly disgusted with such results
from a measure which they had strongly supported, and which
they fondly hoped would have produced better things, will
organise themselves in an independent manner, with the avowed
determination of overawing the Government by a display of playsle
cal force: These are the fruits which the Government believe you,
will gather from the Reform Bill, and, therefore, they propose
it for the acceptance of the people of 'gland, therefore they
call upon the out-voters throughout the kingdom to sacrifice
their birthright and their privileges upon the altar of our com-
mon country." Did your Lordship, did Lord A Itborp.--honest
Lord Althorp—did Lord Grey, did, last not least, Lord Durham,
address the British people, or their assembled represeantatiyes ?
No. Have these things not occurred? I will not so ins:zit your
L'ordship's understanding or integrity as to suppose for a
moment that you will hesitate to reply, " They have hay-
pcned, and I am sorry for it." It is then clear that the
people have been deceived. It is equally clear that they
have been deceived by the. Whig Government, and the
Whig Na:bility, who introduced and supported the Reform
Bill. Event have flowed from that measure which were
or were not antiZipated by those who introduced and sup=
ported it—such evetit.s are diametrically opposite to the ho-
nest expectations of the people, and to the avowed .'eels-
rations of the Government. If a few striking enemalies
have been removed—if Gatton and Old Sarum, and other
Tory Boroughs have been disfranchised, others remain where
the franchise is notoriously sold to tlite highest bidder, and
others where the constituency is so small that they (hire :tot
exercise the right of voting according to their cenaci •
once, for fear of bringing ruin on thin elves tanitiee
Now what would be the conduct of an English N-.bic.rtinit.

if, in private life, he had held out expectations. eitio7r to
strangers or to tenants, that certain events would flow from
the adoption of a Pleasure which he proposed ; upon the
faith of such assurances; the measure was adopted, but the
expectation not only .unrealized, but unforeSeen and weer-
tunate circumstances arise, bitterly disappointing to those
who had .confided in him. I ask you, my Lord John Rus-
sell, what would be your Lordship'., conduct under such
circumstances? Would you not immediately say--: Tree.
we have been disappointed, but it was because tie could
not fores,e such and such events—now we have seen them,
I will immediately apply myself to prevent their recurrence."
My Lord, that which is just and honourable in private life
is also just and honourable in public affairs. The Reformers
of England trusted to the Whigs, they shouted " the Bill, the
whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill," and each Reformer laid
at the feet of Government his ()sin plan—how have tbay been
rewarded ? I pause for a reply.
The first proposition then being proved beyond a doubt, let
me examine !lie second. " Did the Whigs wilfully deceive
the People of Lngland"—for of course if they did it must hove
been for dishonest purposes. lam sincerely anxious that the
Whigs should come out of this inquiry as clear as men of
honour could desire—l should be a hollow friend if I were
not honestly to tell your LorchiLip that appearances are against
them—that your Lordship's conduct in refusing to amend
the Reform Bill, which you adm:t has produced results
not contemplated at the time—that the knowledge
that three Members of Lord Grey's Cs!binet, Lord Gotle-
rich, Lord Stanley, and Sir James Graham, now openly
gone over to the Tories, and boastingly declared there is no
difference between them—that the knowledge of these things
has made many and many a sincere Reformer curse the name
of \Vhig, and, indeed, thousands of our artizans to bind them-
selves together. and, contemning alike both Whigs and Tories,
look to themselves alone for redress. Appearances are against
the Whigs—that is against the Whig aristocracy—for all
honour and praise be to those Whig gentlemen who, on the
question of the Ballot, sacrificed their private wishes and voted
on public principle. In the minority upon that question were
gentlemen who never before voted against your Lordship—
who have for •years freely expended their influence and their
wealth in the support of Whig principL.s—who had supported
the Reform Bill—but who were too hones,: and too just to re-
fuse protection to those to whom the ft anchis.9 had been given,
and who declared they could not exercise it openly without
bringing certain ruin to themselves and fami;;es- My Lord,
the future historian will mark this honourable abandonment of
party—arid, in judging of the conduct of the Whigs lor com-
paring their professions in 1830.1831 with their cerlt:!uct in
1838-1839, will turn with pleasure to that bright spot in party
history. Yes, my Lord, the Whig aristocracy will be
judged by the future historian by comparing their pro-
fessions when askieg for the confidence of the people with
Vicir actions when they had obtained it, and were raised to
wealth and power. Your Lordship has declared that you will
not pass under the, yoke, and it is still in your Lordship's power
to maintain untarnished the honour of your party. Give to the
people that which was promised them—according to the spirit
of the promise—and all will yet be well, and Reformers will
again cheerfully serve under the banners of the Whigs.
Refuse this justice, at.d you and your p.trty will be de-
graded infinitely more than bending under the Caudine
because the stigma will not be imposed upon an bent-aped p-
ponent by an insolent enemy, but it will be self-inflicted. I
trust that your Lordship and the Whigs still yet arouse aed
head the Reformers of England. In my next I mean to show
to your Lordship that Household Suffrage, Vote by Ballot,
end Triennial Parliament,, are not •onlv i i eceordenoe with.
every principle of the Constitutjon, but arc absolutely reeA-
sary to ensure to the people the promises held out to there by
the Whigs in the Refoi m Bill.
I have the honour to remain,
Your Lordship's most obedient servant,
TR UT If.

It is painful to see the poor horses in coal-learns,
and drawing other heavy loads, slipping about and struggling
with so much increased difficulty to keep en their feet and and
draw the load behind then, owing to their heads being tied up
in the air by bearing reins. The horse can draw most by
putting his head down, and can do everything better by have g
his head at liberty. Many stablemen lift pails of water into tl e
mangers for horses to drink, without observing that this posi-
tion diminishes the horse's power of
.swallowing, and that Na-
ture's plan of drinking with their heads down opens the throat
to its full width and gives the water a free passage. At Li-
verpool, where single horses are put to draw heavy casks out
of cellars, the carmen, in cases of difficulty, get on the horse's
shoulders, by which his power is increased, the bin, l egs Lee
ing the fulcrum, and the fore part of the horse being the heer.
It will amuse an idle spectator to watch the eonius:en that
arises from the ignorance of foot passengers as to which is tho
proper side for passing each other its the crowded Wroets of
npdaroauatox by
quite,t he lines—
this bustling town. We imagine that the same rule holds for
a
them as fTorhecalrarwiagoef th
s. which
ad is s
p iosite
For in orderly passing along.
If you go to the left you are surer to be right,
But if to the right you arc wrong."
Now the contrary rule for foot passengers is established b
the absolute necesity of drivers of carts, and teams of all sorts,
being bound to keep the curbstone contiguous to their teams.
APPREHENSION OF ONE OF THE MEN CHARGED
WITIT THE MURDER AT CoßllAM.—Sakers was apprehended
last Wednesday afternoon at a place near Basingstoke. He
was in a most miserable condition, and Ile afterwards stated
that he had subsisted by begging about the country since he
had absconded. Chester immediately conveyed Sakers to.
Kingston, where he placed him in the custody of Mr. Dow-
sett, the inspector of horse patrole, who procured a post-chaise
and conveyed Sakers to norsemongcr-lane gaol, under the
Coroner's warrant.
