LONDON:
SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 1841.

We, among other journalists, very often blame
the Ministers for not going fast enough and far
enough; and certainly we have at times been
much chagrined and mortified, to see those
whom we had supported for their anti-Tory
opinions, succumbing to their and our enemies.
Perhaps we have not made sufficient allowance
for the influence of Government over those who
wield it, and the influence of the classes who
block up all the avenues to the Throne.
For nearly fifty years prior to 1830, the Tories
were exclusively in possession of the Govern-
ment; during that time the .wonderful inventions
of WATT and ARKWRIGHT, turned to an admi-
rable account by our ingenious and industrious
people, conferred boundless power and boundless
wealth on the nation. It cannot be denied that
great social progress co-existed with Tory domi-
nation, and the Tory Government became
associated in the public Aind with a great in-
crease of wealth and power which it did not con_
tribute to produce, which it squandered in mis-
chievous profusion, and which it did its best to
destroy. It never was popular after the com-
mencement of the French revolution ; but, in the
minds of the upper, and many of the middle
classes, it was associated with great success and
great splendour, and they honoured it as if it
were a system of almost Divine appointment.
Against that prejudice the Whigs, aided by the
people, have had to contend; and we ought, per-
haps, to be surprised that they have, done so
much, rather than they have not done more.
In one of his speeches on Reform, Lord
BROUGHAM, after his accession to office, de-
scribed in his graphic manner the many re-
straints and bonds he felt gradually extending
themselves over him, and fastening him into
the position of his predecessors. That was a
true description of every man who has to admi-
nister a system ; he finds that it masters him;
and the longer he runs in it the more completely
does he becomes its slave. Now, when it is re-
membered that not only the form and the rou-
tine of the Government were completely Tory,
and had long been Tory, but that all the subor-
dinate officers of the State were Tories, who
guided their several departments and places
on Tory principles, it is not difficult to
.conceive how the Whigs, as they re-
, maim& in_..oifice- year after year, became

more and more hampered with the ancient Tory
system, and more and more obliged to move in

the ruts Which it had worn. Nfe find in these
circumstances, when .we remember what the

Whigs have done, an explanation, if not a jus-
tification, of their not having done more.
The Government being practically founded on
the principles of coercing the people into obe-

diencc to a certain system, necessarily corrupts
to its own purposes all who are called on to ad-

minister it. It is not denied that the Whigs

have used its coercive power with much mode-
ration; but, nevertheless, having been obliged
to use it, they have shared the unpopularity

which properly belongs to Tory institutions and
Tory laws. The difference between the two
parties is, that the Tories see in the Constitution
nothing but a system of coercion for
the people. The Whigs see in it also a
means of securing their liberties. They try to
reconcile the two ; the Tories think only hoW
they can make the system obeyed and respected.
They profess to despise popularity—to despise
the people and their opinions, and to care for
nothing but the preservation of the law. The
Whigs defer to the people; they admit the in-
fluence of their opinions; and they do not prefer
a system to popularity, or a theory to the public
good.
Whoever has the Government to administer,
must necessarily be obnoxious to those who, like
the Chartists, demand great changes, which it is
supposed to be the duty of the Government to
resist. But the Whigs have administered it with
mildness, while the Tories would have carried it
out with terror, till they had kindled rebellion.
Though the Chartists may not like the Whigs,
and the administrators of the Government,
they ought to hate the Tories ; and every Chartist
who votes for a Tory is false to the principles of
the Charter.

We had written so far when Mr. WADE'S
pamphlet, entitled " Reforin Government," ab-
stracted from his " Glance at the Times," and
published by EFFINGHAM WILSON, reached us.
Mr. WADE justly states, that—
Since 1830 England has undergone as many and as
great changes almost as it is possible for a nation to
undergo, not only in the form but •in the practical spirit
and administration of her institutions. There is no in-
stance perhaps of a country achieving so peaceably, yet
in the main so efficiently, a reform of old and inveterate
abuses, of effecting so radical a change in every depart-
ment of her domestic policy, without the risk and detri-
ment of a revolutionary convulsion.
In those remarks we agree, and the success of
the Whigs in accomplishing so much, should
readily snake the people fbllow them in their
present endeavour to accomplish more. Agree-
ing, too, with Mr. WADE in most of the follow-
ing remarks, we have great pleasure in quoting
I them :

It is sometimes said Ministers might have done more.
They might, but then they must have been better sup-
ported. Had they attempted more, with the power and
co-operation they possessed, they would have certainly
effected less. -Much of what has been done, has been
done by concessions, by a sacrifice of their own better
sentiments. The default, in truth, has not been in
them, but—for we must speak out—in the apathy and
divisions of the people, which emboldened the Conserva-
tives to defeat or mutilate the most efficient Ministerial
schemes. One thing, ,however, is undoubted—if the •
Whigs have done little, the Tories would have done less,
and that in a reluctant and hateful spirit. An elector must
be blind who does not arrive at this conclusion—who
does not perceive that, if he have cause for dissatisfaction'
with the present Administration, he is likely to have still
greater with the candidates for their places.
The claims of these candidates to national confidence
it will now be fair to notice, having set forth those of the
Whigs. One of the first and greatest pretensions of the
Tories is in, the undoubted fact that they have fearlessly
and throughoUt opposed the Reform Government—have
perseveringly tried first to frustrate entirely, and when
that was hopeless, to delay or impair, the different mea-
sures of public amendment enumerated above, from the
passing of the Reform Bills to the dissolution of the first
Parliament of Queen Victoria.
So much for their past services. Next as to the future.
Of this the most recent testimonial is their opposition to
the budget of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
The nature of the Ministerial scheme may be soon un-
folded. Its necessity has arisen from a deficient revenue,
a deficiency not accruing from wasteful expenditure—no
one accuses Ministers of that—but from concessions to
popular demands, chiefly the reduction of the rate
of postage, of the stamp-duty on newspapers, and
from the twenty millions borrowed to abolish Ne-
gro slavery. If wrong has been done in the adop-
tion of these measures, the wrong has been shared
in by a vast majority of the community ; if there
has been weakness, it has been a weakiess on virtue's
side—on the side of too much indulgence—for which,
we feel well assured, the electors of the empire will not
be disposed to subject the offenders to banishment or
even milder penal chastisement.
As to the principle on which the Ministerial budget is
based, it is not easyto,conceive one more just, apt, and
judicious—more cons*hant to sound economical science—
more generally beneficial—less oppressiVe to the
people—and more likely to relieve the pressure which
has long weighed on national industry. It is not
sought tn increase public taxes, but to make the
wants of the Exchequer subservient to mercantile reform
—to the removal of a great legislative reproach—a
monstrous injustice, long perpetrated by the landed aris-
tocricy on every man, woman, and child in the kingdom.
The objects sought are twofold—to give cheaper bread to
the poor, and open a wider field to manufacturing skill
and commercial enterprise. Against this policy the
Tories are arrayed—prefer high rents for themselves to
cheap food for the people—monopoly to free trade—an
unemployed and starving community to a busy and well-
fed population.

Mr. BOND CABBELL, who, we presume, must
be very rich," by his anxiety to get into Parlia-
ment through such a borough as St. Alban's, in
default of any legislative claims to represent the
borough of Marylebone in Parliament, has had
vamped up and paraded, befbre the eyes and in
the houses of the electors, a list of all the money
he has given, during his life, to public institu-
tions. In one year he gave 101. to a musical
academy, and in another 2 guineas to a Lying-
in Hospital; and now he is making the most cf
his gifts, by lumping them altogether, in order to
charm the electors out of their votes. He spreads
out his several puny donations till he makes a
great show, and then asks to be represented on
account of his wealth. The man and his friends
must be a set of sordid hunxes, and they must
suppose the electors of Marylebone to be as bad
as themselves.

If he had subscribed these sums out of genuine
charity, he would have taken care that his right
hand should not have known what his left hand
was performing—

‘, Who builds a church to God, and not to fame,
Will never mark the marble with his name."

Mr. BOND CABBELL seems to have stamped
every guinea he ever gave in the. cause of
charity with his own name, and now asks the
electors of Marylebone to reward him for his
thumping benevolence. The benefactor of the
poor, as he describes himself, never insults them
with a parade of his gifts. lie who gives
much, and boasts of it, must extort much, as
some of those who are the most constant at
public prayers are the greatest sinners. POPE,
no bad judge of human nature, represents a
City Knight as soothing his conscience, after he
had cheated a customer, by giving alms and going
double tides to church. Let the electors eschew
devotees and money-grubbers.
What they want is, not a man to go to church,
or to subscribe to infirmaries, but a man who
will protect their rights—who is equally ready
in the field and the senate ; who unites the
qualities of the courageous warrior and the fear-
less exposer of corruption. Such a man is
NAPIER. Free, independent, and honest elec-
tors will vote for the Gallant Commodore ; those
who are looking forward for a berth in an in-
firmary or an hospital, will support the puffing
gentleman whose great merit it is to have sub-
scl ibed a few hundred pounds, in' the course of
his life, to some public institutions.

The time for talking and writing about the
elections is almost past, and the time for acting
and voting has arrived. He must be a recreant
Englishman who votes for a bread-taxer. He
will be unworthy of woman's love or children's
affection, for he votes either to doom women to
barrenness, or their offspring to misery and pre-
mature death. All Tories are bread-taxers ;
they will not abate one farthing of their Moloch
impost. The Whigs would abate it, and, if the
anti-bread tax feeling be strong in the country,
would abolish it. Whoever, therefore, votes for

Tory, votes to doom a large portion of our popu-
lation annually to a premature grave.
But there is no time to think or write much
more on the subject. The City election is

already appointed for Monday. Other elections
will immediately follow, and every voter must
be prepared to act like a true man, or be stigma..
tised as a recreant knave.

TooKE having, it is said, retired—there will be
no contests. Westminster is at length startled by
the voice of a Tory candidate. A Captain 11.0175't
who may have been heard of on the waters,
little on the land, has offered himself to he the
man of the Tories. They tried to start Sir it'
PEEL and Sir WILLOUGHBY COTTON,
rlibut tilef
former has run off for his pocket borough
Tamworth, and the latter has not turned 0/the
trump. In Westminster there is no fear O. -be

electors to demonstrate that their zeal in the got).
cause of freedom knows no relaxation. Mr. l'lt,llll.
ER and Sir DE LACY EvANs will be mucli ifs
debted to the Captain for eliciting many Pr°
of the attachment of their friends.
From the City, where the contest will
doubtedly be severe, we hear the most fay °a
able reports. The Tory candidates can say
thing against the Whig measures--theY
jest to the time at which they are brongnt `e-re
ward. They would support such measures, wot
they proposed by Sir R. PEEL; but they willilu,
be allowed the chance of recovering their PO
larity in office by a sacrifice of ccls6teflitel):e.
We confidently expect that the success °L -15 e

to the popular cause throughout the 041"
and ensure a majority of Liberals in the Pe
House of Commons.
