1. Peel. We may easily, the-,e!fore, conceive how
cordially these personages labour for the hone, -

Robert knows, that while he himself is indispenable
to no party, Lord Lyndhurst is not of the same poli-
tical magnitude, however usc_il he may be to the Tory
Lords to manage their eppeition. One word 7)i‘c
.
we conclude with respect to the wonderful e-
tween the different classes ef Tories. Our ev4rlHL
Contemporary the Standard does not hesitate to c - -
sider all possible schemes interwoven with the very :--
sence of the Catholic religion. It seems to
itself with Mortimer O'Sullivan, M'Ghce, Crc
and Co., and to believe—in good earnest—that le.
price would be too great to pay for tile el:-
tirpation of the Catholic idolatry, in every
part of the world. Lord Wharncliffe, on fe:eee
hand, would rather see Popery the establishe::.. et.'eeeen
of Ireland than the prevalence of the syste'n of •
Protestant Dissenters. And the Morning Post,
lowing his Lordship's lead, tells us. that Popery, when
it has full scope, is by no means such a thing as
some people suppose
" The parish clergy (says oar Morning Conto .nporary of
the fashionable world) have le', influence in anF•one pro-
vince of' the Peninsula than t..e pastors of the Estoblished
Church have in Great Britain. Since the '4V:rt of Inde-
pendence the public mind of Spain has underc,:e

maintained even a due ascendancy. There is a frier y
intercourse still kept up between the secular d
their parishioners ; but there is not one-tenth
same submission which is exidbited by the p,
Ireland."

ultimately, without civil strife, and without bloodshed, all
ids legitimate claims on behalf of that devoted country, the
conquest of which has been succeeded by centuries of reek-
. I hss plunder and of frightful oppression."
:i This distinguished speculator most consistently
au-
ticipates success for his party, out of the very elements
• of their weakness. He says—

" The public look forward to the approaching session
with intense interest. The Tory legions are everywhere.
on the alert. In the flush of the spring, and in the fall of
the leaf, they are alike active. We, the Reformers, on the
contrary, are confiding, circumspect, and busied about many

things. '
We hope to be acquitted of any irreverence if we
carry out this expression to its full sense :—The fac-
tion arc, indeed, " busied about many things," but in

all humility we believe that the champions of the Con
stitution have " chosen the better part which shall not
be taken from them."—Times.
The Morning Advertiser was the first journal to
caution the Reformers against the tricks of certain per-
sons calling themselves Radicals, and arrogating to
themselves the character of being more sincere and
hearty in their attachment to the Liberal cause than
any other men. We assured our readers that a num-
ber of these persons were at this moment actively em-
ployed in coHcerting measures by which they could,
with the greatest chances of success, play the game of
the Tories, through means of a split among the Re-
formers. We first adverted to this subject about three
weeks ago. Since then, all our statements have been
confirmed to the letter, and all our warnings proved to
have been too well grounded. First came, in proof of
our positions, the interruptions to the proceedings at
tlc. Lambeth meeting, by some half-dozen of the parties
r.::ferred to. The abettors of the Tories, on that occa-
:on, displayed a rudeness and recklessness, coupled
-ith a pertinacious persistance in their efforts to pro-
!tice mischief, which have certainly no parallel within
:)tir recollection of public meetings. In a few
clays afterwards came a pamphlet by Mr.FeargusO'Con-
nor, the professed cliiect of which is to destroy for ever
the public character of Mr. O'Connell ; but whose
real object is to strike at a Reform Ministry and the
cause of Reform through him. And it was only the
other day that at a public meeting at White Conduit-
house, Mr. D. Whittle Harvey thought proper to labour
through a " mortally heavy speech," as an Irishman
would say, of upwards of an hour's duration, to alienate
the affections of the Reformers from those very leaders
who alone, at the present crisis, can be of any service
to them. Of the reception which the factious junta at
Lambeth met with from the meeting, we have on pre-
vious occasions spoken at some length ; and we see
by a letter the other evening in Mr. Harvey's paper,
that they have not yet recovered from the mortifica-
tion caused by their signal defeat at that meeting. We
yesterday, and Wednesday also, expoSed the failure of
Mr. Harvey's projects to divide the Reformers, that
he might by that means consign over the people of
England to the tender mercies of a Tory oligarchy.
Let us now make one or two observations on the posi-
tion in which Mr. Feargus O'Connor has chosen to
place himself. But first of all, let the important fact
be. kept prominently and steadily in view by the Re-
formers, that all these efforts to scatter firebrands
among them have been made simultaneously ; and
made, too, by persons professing themselves Radicals.
Is not this presumptive proof that they are acting in
concert to play into the hands of the Tories ? But
we have something still stronger than presumptive
proof. We beg the people of these realms to weigh
well this other fact, and to deduce the proper inference
..from it ; to wit, that Mr. Harvey's evening journal
',has over and over again lavishly praised Mr. O'Con-
nor's paniphlet, and has opened its columns to the
abuse of the Lambeth meeting by the mortified persons
who in vain attempted to defeat the objects it had in
vier; We ask any reasonable person whether this
could all be the result of accident ? If it be, the coin-
cidence is certainly a most singular one. We were
among those who have always until now given Mr.
Feargus O'Connor credit for being a sincere Reformer.
It is his own fault if we think differently of him now.
His pamphlet shows the cloven-foot most clearly.
There should have been on the title-page the motto—
' An enemy bath done this !"—an enemy, not so
much to Mr. O'Connell personally, as to the Re-
formers of the United Kingdom. It is impossible to
read the pamphlet, coupled with the fact that the pre-
sent moment should have been chosen for its appear-
ance, without coining to the conclusion that the au-
thor is a complete tool in the hands of the Tories.
Will Mr. Feargus O'Conner undertake to say that
his production 'has not been written with the view of
aiding in the restoration of the Tories to office, by dis-
tilacing a Reform Ministry? If ally one could have had
'!oubts as to the ulterior designs with which the ex-
-,lember for Clare indited his leaden pamphlet, the use
Ilich the Tory journals have made of it—the ecstacies
which they have hailed it—and the compliments
:ley have lavished on the author, ought surely to re-
move such doubts. Mr. O'Connor has the unenviable
distinction of being the " ejected" for Clare, and the
rejected" of Oldham, and one or two other places.
We predict that his pamphlet will do him the service
of insuring his rejection by any other constituency
whose suffrages—unless, indeed, he should trust to
Tory suffrages—he may have the cool effrontery here-
after to solicit. Will Mr. O'Connor answer us this one
question—it is a very simple and natural one :—Flow
comes it that, with all the indignation he affects at the
alleged selfish views and purposes of Mr. O'Connell,
of which he professes to have been aware for so many
years, he never, in the plenitude of his matchless
patriotism, exposed the man, as he calls Mr. O'Con-
nell, before now ? We are curious to know what the
pamphleteer's answer will be to this query. Out upon
these wolves in sheep's clothing ! Let Reformers
have no political intercourse with them.— Norning
Advertiser.

The meeting held yesterday at Aylesbury, of the
Conservative Association of the county of Bucks, was
one of the most valuable and splendid of the numerous
Conservative manifestations by which the loyalty, good
sense, and patriotism of the people of Great Britain
have recently been proclaimed and demonstrated to the
world. We have the satisfaction of laying before our
readers a full and faithful report, received by express,
of the animated proceedings of this important assembly.
Of the speeches delivered upon the occasion it is need-
less for us to express any opinion.Ve lay them
before our readers, in the conviction that they are
eminently calculated to diffuse throughout the country
the opinions which were upon this occasion announced
with a power of eloquence and sustained with a clear-
ness and force of argument seldom, if ever, surpassed.
The meeting was such, indeed, as could not fail to
inspire the accomplished orators who addressed it with
more, if that can Le imagined, than even their Usual
vigour of thought and felicity of expression. There
were assembled upon the occasion upwards of 1,000
gentlemen, of whom it is scarcely too much to say that
they comprehended alltwho are eminent in the couaty
of Bucks for personal worth, political integrity) or
social importance,-- Morning Post.
