think.

" From the preponderance of talent we may always infer
the soundness of the commonwealth ; but from the preponder-
ance of riches, its dotage and degeneracy."
In proportion as nations get more corrupt, more disgrace
will attach to poverty, and more respect to wealth. But these
are two questions that would completely reverse this order of
things; what keeps some persons poor ? and what has made
others rich ? The true answers to these queries would often
make the poor man more proud cf his poverty than the rich
man is of his wealth, and the rich than more justly ashamed of
his wealth than th• poor man, unjustly, now is of his poverty."
Extract:

" He ( Sir Robert Peel) may vaunt himself of the share
which he has had in promoting that unhallowed measure the
New Poor-law, if he pleases; the country does not vaunt him;
many of his personal fiiends do not !
" Let Sir Robert Peel understand his position. He is infi-
nitely better than
in Parliament upon all points except this. But he is not a
Canning—he is not a Wyndham, nor a Pitt, nor a Fox. He
cannot, by dint of personal influence or brilliant talents, carry
his countrymen with him to any great extent upon questions on
which there was no union of opinion before, as was the case
with those statesman " born" in " happier days."
" Reflections of this kind would be of great use to Sir Robert
Peel. We respect him, but are no flatterers of him, nor ever
will lye."—The Times, Friday, August 2, 1839.
" It is pleasing to us to observe a conspicuous personage in
our triple state, with was alike unmindful in his day, and of the
posthumous fame of a Prince—Sir Robert Peel has his proper
estimation with a portion of the press." The Tories quarrel
with the Hon. Baronet because of his feeble, shifting, cowardly
policy which has been pursued during several Sessions of Par-
liament. We now find this once trumpeted statesman every-
where inveighed against by those of his own faction, as a slug-
gish and irresolute, if not a feeble-minded, statesman."—Sun-
day Times, October 27, 1839, —The Sun, Jan. 4, 1840.
Letter to Sir Robert Peel and the Tories.—" The Tories
secretly regard you as a shifty time-server, a sort of political
vicar of Bray ; intent on turning to your own account the
great ebbs and flows of public opinion."—Sunday Times,
Jan. 5, 1840.
" Reflections of this kind would be of great use to Sir
Robert Peel"—the Conservative leader !—" this once trum-
peted statesman"—to whom we say, he who could once so far
forget himself by dereliction of duty to be unmindftil of -his
Prince's honour, hide his inglorious head." He who
assumed to himself " the first of his family," should have
thought . . . . it were an easy leap
To pluck bright honour from the mid-day sun ;
Or dive into the bottom of the deep,
Where fathom-line cold never touch the ground,
And pluck up drowned honour by the locks;

But, out upon this half-fac'd fellowship !
" He who maintains a Prince's immortality should tight with
more varied tactics than was ever dreamt of in men's philo-
sophy.' "
