Orlial was succeeded, the King gave as a toast, in

Aalt is a vain attempt for the Tory faction to with-
; the public anxiety from the reception of the
tna Bill by the House of Lords. The object
:deed is manifest, and is twofold. They would
ithirniaister, if they could, a composing draught to
Le country,—first, with a view to persuade the
fnt/rds that the people had become indifferent to Res
L'1.111; and, secondly, that the people might be taken
JBlll-p rise, and prevented from moving or acting
bigorousl uon the ouse of Lords, until the fatal

"e down which they were plunging.. Now this
must
not be. The nation must be made aware
that if the House of Lords be the ostensible instru-
ment
ent by whose intervention the Bill is to be ma-
tured into a law, they themselves—the nation—are
n-sier Prime directing power, by which alone the House
Lords can be restrained from diverging to pin poses
subversive of Reform. We are convinced, from all
we have seen and heard, that the libel upon our
"ontiY, which was at first but whispered and
bsteoti.:iy
"it insinuated, has of late been loudly and
to dlv affirmed,—to wit, that the House of Lords
ill'ght be as conservative (of the rotten borough) as
eY pleased, for that " the people were tired of the
li `f,°llll question !" It is true that there never was
titsjcered a more daring falsehood. It is obvious to
who know the real condition of the public mind,
that it is confidence, not indifference, to which the
the
tranquillity of the United Kingdom, as regards
'"e fate of the Reform Bill, is owing. Nothing can
