Aberdeee. The Reformers are contesting the shires;
of Midlothian, Roxburgh, Renfrew, Peebles, Stirling,
Wigton, Lanark, Caithness, Banff, Orkney, and In-C-7
verness, and also the Inverness boroughs. Do they
expect any gain from this speculation ? We suspect
they must wait the succeeding dissolution. In the N
meanwhile we would ask where the old " whippers inl
Sir George Clerk, Mr. Ross, and Mr. Bonham, mean
to take refuge ; or whether their retirement into pri- ,
vate life is to be compensated by the return of " Billy ;
Holmes " to his old duties of huntsman of the
,party ? The Tories may play the game of covering -
the country with locust candidates ; but at the
hustings, dozens of them will be missing, and
many more dozens will be shamefully defeated.
slf the approaching contest is to be one of profligate••
expenditure we advise the Reformers to give the Tories
•:the benefit of the retaliation—to put in nomination
'candidates in every close county, at the mere cost of
the " legitimate" expellees of the poll, never exceed-
ing two hundred pounds—to contest every borough-
:seat, however hopeless—in brief, to carry the war into,
the enemy's quarters. Above all, we counsel the!
! r Liberals to keep an accurate record in every county,
' city, and borough of the- united kingdom, of all the
ibribery, coercion, and corruption practised, by the To-
ries, and to crowd the Parliament with petitions, set-
l.
ting forth the existing imperfections of the representa-
five system. We shall soon see how much the Tories
will gain by their threatened corruption of the consti-
tuency. The constitution of the House of Commons
has yet to be further reformed, notwithstanding the
vaunted exertions to the contrary of the Carlton Club.
If we desired " revolution," " anarchy," and " a ge-
neral soramble," we should wish to see the Tories in
power ; but the nation is too wise to admit them.—

it. He accepted the office without much further con-;,::
sideration, with the understanding that his doing so would
very much facilitate the formation of the Government. He
said, subsequently, " he thought that those who defended
the appointment had the best of the argument ;" but he
also said, that " if it were to do again he would not do 4."!,

Lord BROUGHAM considered the narration of the
Noble Baron exceedingly interesting and satisfactory, and
ithat it reflected great credit on his noble father. Instead

opinion he had expressed.

of the House of Commons have become at once
so onerous and offensive as to deter many persons from

'the duties of their station in society imposes upon them.
Never were those claims more strong than at the pre-
ts:ent moment, when, perhaps, the fate of the whole .
}empire depends upon the next House of Commons-,
!being composed, unlike the last, of a majority of pet-
sons resolved to maintain the Protestant institutions of
the country, as the tried and only safeguard of civi;
!and religious liberty. One such candidate, in the ...
;person of Mr. Horsley Palmer, has, we see, come for-
award. His example, it is to be hoped, will soon be'•
followed by others. We repeat our confident opinion '
that it only requires a like number of sound constitu-
tional
candidates to drive the present four mis-repre-
:senters of London from the field, now and for ever.---1
!Morning Herald.
Legislation has proceeded lately at a very rapid
pace. Of the few Members of the House of Coin-p
mons who have been " making the House" duringo
the last few days we question whether half-a-dozen`
;could tell the titles of the two scores of measures
, which they have been forwarding through their several
mstages. As we have still a House of Lords we trust
no great mischief can arise from the precipitate in-
dustry of the House of Commons. The Peers will
),take care that nothing very iniquitous or very absurd
shall be tendered for her Majesty's assent. The re-
presentatives of the people may have voted all sortsi
of enormities unconsciously and indifferently, but the
''Lords will take care that none of the numerous Bills!
1
; which have been so comfortably carried shall acci-'
..dentally repeal the Act of Settlement, or casually abo-;
lish the writ of Habeas Corpus. We presume, however,
"from the dispatch with which the Ministers have disd
posed of their work, that it is their purpose to dissolve
;the present Parliament on the earliest possible day]
And, considering the amount of business yet remainingi
• to be transacted in both Houses, and the time which its
'transaction is likely to require, we think that a pro-1
rogation, to be followed by an immediate dissolutiond
may be expected about the 17th instant. No time,'
,therefore, is to be lost. The exertions which the Con-
servatives are making in all parts of the kingdom
;.should be redoubled, and every nerve should be strained;
to the utrpost, during the short interval which yet re-
mains before the final choice is made between good and
':evil. The Ministers have an advantage in the power of
selecting the precise moment at which the appeal
!to the country shall be made, and we suppose, from,
their apparent impatience to make it, that they dot
not think their claims to popular support such as
prolonged consideration would confirm or extend.
In this they are probably very right. After the;
' failure of all their policy, both foreign and domestic,
the Whig-Radicals have nothing to rely upon butt
the temporary popularity which they hope to steal'
from the asserted confidence of their youthful So-1
vereign. This is an illusion which will not last
long. " Hume and Loyalty 1" " Wakley and the
Constitution 1" " O'Connell and the Protestant Sue-;
cession 1" are watch-words which, if used at all, must
1
be used without delay. In a week Gateshead Ivili
laugh at Mr. Cuthbert Ripon's inviktion to "rally
tround the youthful Sovereign ;" and Boston will ex-
plain to Mr. Wilks that whatever may be his other
title to support, he is likely to benefit little by " the
i attachment of the people to the Queen I" These ap-
prehensions will drive the Government to an early dis-
solution of Parliament. It will avail them nothing.
We hear from every quarter such accounts of the suc-
-4 ec ss of Conservative candidates as place the result of
t
1 this important struggle almost beyond doubt. We
have only to recommend to the friends of our righteous
cause perseverance in their noble efforts. The toils of
a few weeks will be richly rewarded in the permanent',security which these toils will achieve for our Estab-
lished Church, our hereditary Peerage, and our Con-
stitutional Throne.—Mornzng Post. 1 1
