At the annual meeting of the .Xew townards 'Farming
Society, the MarquiS of Londonderry, who presided,
warred his hearers to Oppose all
:interference with the
Corn-law;, adding, " Yon do not know what a Government'
fliciY do, Watt furred to it. I wish you to place your's-
, aches beyond the power of any man, or of any Governs,
ment, and whatever they may do." It is clear from this
that the Nob!e Marquis has no great idea of the con-
sistency of Nlini4ers. Their refusal to give hiM a place
has wondrously sharpened his sagacity, anti lie evidently
thinks it far from unlikely that they may play the same
game withm
the Corn-hats that they did with Catholic
Emancipation. There is no an who so soon detects
faults in a Government its a disappointed placeman. He
has a hawk's eye to their iniquities.
