the present Whig Government." .Surely
es not become so purse-proud as to look down
upon his old friends who have not had the good luck
to be paid for their services as he has been ? The
" Great paid Patriot" cannot be so utterly devoid of
sympathy as to sneer at the shoal of small " tin-paid"
because they arc a little impatient ? Let him recollect
how ill he himself used to bear the monkey's allowance
of more kicks than halfpence, which was all the Whigs,
till very recently, thought of bestowing upon him. As
to the Irish Radicals, whom Daniel reproaches
with their " ignorant impatience" of empty pocket's,
we suppose that, for the present at least, he may treat
them as insolently as he pleases. He has ,still 'power
enough in that part of the empire to provide for them
by means of deaths' heads or cross-bones ; and as they
happen to be quite aware of the fact, he will probably
have little trouble in reducing to subjection whatever
joint of the " tail" may turn restiff. Still we think
Daniel is rather hard upon his former friends and con-
federates ; and we should not be surprised if this con-
duct of his went far towards opening the eyes of the
Radical party to the real character of the man. In
the mean time Daniel certainly has it all his own
way, and a precious prospect Ireland presents for the
winter. The police appointments, which were to rest
exclusively with Colonel Kennedy, are said to be
pretty generally within the patronaue of Daniel or of
his " tail"—while Lord Mulgrave, who has been sent
through the country upon a tour, visits all the prisons
on his way, and has liberated so many of the inmates
that the Irish papers say " he seems disposed to make
a general gaol delivery !" Besides this reform of
the police and of the prisons, Daniel has declared
his intention of improving the magistracy. To that
end he intimates that somebody must " saddle and
bridle, and mount and spur " Lord Plunket, who
lie says, " has become an incubus to the Ministry."
We have heard of many remedies for the nightmare,
but the suggestion that it might be got rid of by means
of a saddle and bridle is quite new to us ; and as to
mounting a nightmare, why, except in Ireland, it is
customary, we believe, for the nightmare to ride, not to
be ridden. However, Lord Plunket cannot fail to
understand the hint. The rebel Repealers are to ap-
,' point the police, and if the Lord Chancellor will not
,put into the commission of the peace magistrates to
match, the sooner Lord Plunket looks out for another
berth the better for himself. His Lordship will not even
be able to repeat the excuse, that there are magis-
trates enough already. Lord Mulgrave, by making
a clearance of the prisons, has taken very good care
to obviate that objection. Indeed, we suspect that
in any case it will require all Lord Piunket's inge-
nuity to prevent being bitted and bridled and trotted
clean out, for Daniel is evidently not contented with
the nomination of a Master of the Rolls and an At-
torney-General. He has declared his wish to reform the
bench, as well as the magistracy and the police. That
must, of course, be a work of time; but the first step
will obviously be for Daniel to get a Chancellor more
completely his own creature than the father of the
Hannibals. 'What abominable blockheads the Peers
were not to give the Agitator the power of reforming
the Corporations too I What absurd "jealousy" in
them to reject a measure of the House of Commons
framed for that very purpose I We heartily congra-
tulate the Ministers upon the moderation thus displayed
by their master, and we wish the Protestants of Ire-
land joy of the sort of " justice" they will experience
from an O'Connell magistracy and an O'Connell po-
lice. While upon the subject of congratulation, let
us not forget to congratulate the Leicester people
upon the truth of that letter, in which O'Connell de-
clined to dine with them ; nor, presenting our best
compliments to Mr. Grote, and the rest of the vote-
by-ballot gentry, fail to felicitate them upon the new
argument O'Connell adduced at the " General Asso-
ciation" on Friday in favour of that mode of election.
"Gentlemen," said Daniel, showing the whole of the
cloven foot at once, " the importance of the principle
of vote by ballot is best proved by the adoption of
it by the Jesuits, who elected all their officers by that
course."—Times.
The emphatic statement made by Lord Wharncliffe
in the House of Peers, respecting the position of the
present Government appears to have given great un-
easiness to the more moderate portion of Ministerial
advocates. We can feel no surprise at this—a state-
ment, the truth of which is so obvious to the Public,
and so discreditable to the Administration, is very
likely to remind those most interested in the continu-
ance of the present official arrangements of the very
precarious ground on which they stand. We allude
to the speech of the Noble Baron, in which he found
it necessary to recall to the recollection of the Noble
Viscount at the head of the Government, that his
Administration did not really possess the confidence of
either House of Parliament—that the Noble Viscount
had no power whatever in the House of Lords, and
that in the House of Commons his power existed
only through the support of persons who wished to go
much further than the Government was prepared to
go—of persons who desired, and openly avowed their
desire, to bring about organic changes in the Consti-
tution. The position of the Government then is this
—that in one House of Parliament it is in a mino-
rity ; and in the other it would be in a minority, but that
certain persons who do not concur in the political senti-
ments of the Ministers give them their support. No man
at all conversant with political matters can deny the truth
of this statement. The votes of the House of Lords
prove it, so far as that House is concerned ; and with
respect to the Commons, who does not know that but
for the support of the O'Connell tail, together with
the Hume, Warburton, and Wakley school of English
Radicals, the Ministry would be in a minority there
also ? But it is notorious that the political views of
both these sections do extend to organic change of
a very sweeping character, to which the Ministers de-
clare their opposition. Therefore of Ministerialists—
that is, of persons agreeing in the political views of
the Ministers, there is but a minority in either House
of Parliament. The more the country contemplates
this fact, the more will sensible men be persuaded that
a Government so circumstanced ought not to continue
to exist, provided it be possible to obtain another
which shall have a real, bona, fide Parliamentary sup-
port. It is contended, in opposition to Lord Wharn-
cliffe's statement, that a majority of the House of
Commons does place confidence in the present Ad-
ministration. Now, in this case, as in many others,
where apparently contradictory propositions are affirmed,
it will, we think, be found that the contradicting parties
use the same terms in a different sense. Many people
think that, to have the confidence of the House of Com-
mons, and to have majorities in that House, are but
different modes of expressing the same thing. If they
who contradict Lord 'Wharncliffe mean nothing more
than this— that the Government obtains majorities
there, his Lordship and the public will not dispute the
matter with them, for the thing_ is evident. But to
assume from thence that the Government possesses
the confidence of that House is to beg the question,
for the question, or case affirmed, is this—that though
the the Ministers have a masjoarsityc-ohntritdlerencHe o; ufsoer

pose a Bill as the settlement of some important public
matter, and they are supported by a majority, it is true,
but not by a majority who agree with Ministers in con-
templating the Bill as a settlement. The persons who
make up tile majority consent to the Bill as a step
forward towards that point at which they wish to arrive.
They look upon the Administration as a convenient
political instrument to carry on revolutionary principles
—a certain stage of their progress. The Ministers know
this well enough ; for the adversaries of the Church
and the aristocracy are at no pains to conceal it ; but
notwithstanding their knowledge of the fact, Ministers
arc content to go on existing by the support. of those
who thus use them as a temporary convemence,an
and
exclaiming that thus to exist is to possess the con-
