General Johnstone, one of the representatives of the
distressed operatives of Oldham, has presented a petition
front them to the House of Commons, in which they state
that the Corn-laws are contrary to every principle of mo-
rality and religion, and pray for their total repeal. Ge-
neral Johnstone and Mr. Fielden, by shirking- the non-
confidence diVision, allowed Sir Robert Peel; the head
of the monopolists; to dafeat Lord John llos,e11; - who
has brought forward two great frien:onires for the relief
of the lower and middle classes, and who had -fixed a day
for exposing the ruinous effect of the Corn-laws, and
rousing the country against all monopolies. These pre-
tended friends of the poor have thus. inflicted the great-
est injury on'their distressed constituents, out of hosti-
lity, as they say, to the new Poor-law, which 'Sir Ro-
bert Peel supports as strongly as Lord John Russell.
Will the electors of Oldham thank their two Members
for thus sacrificing their best interests, without any ra-
tional okject?
MERCHANT TAILORS' ANNUAL IlAggrET.--...LORD
STANLEY.--At the grand annual entertainment given
on Friday in Merchant Tailors' Hall, Lord Stanley, wbe
was present, threw off one of those- intemperate pal•ty
speeches which prove how utterly dovold his Lordship is
of even the most ordinary tact and judgment, After
observing that "'that was a place in which no politics
were to be spoken;" he proceeded to prattle upon poll=
tics, in a spiiit which even those whO were of his own
way of thinking, must have telt to 130 As disgusting'as it
was inappropriate. The public virtues of the Tories in
general, and of Sir Robert Peel in particular, formed the:
sole burden of his speech. Not a word about the scho-
lastic proceedings of the day ; these the " driver of the
Dilly" treatel as things of no account. Perish literature
—perish education—perish all that elevates and refines
humanity—provided only Toryism gains the ascendant !
Such, if not in so many express words, was the sub-
stanee or Lui'd t..4tailley/6 speech, which, delivered on
the hustings, would have been perfectly in character ;
but, delivered at a grave, decorous assemblage of the
Masters of Merchant Tailors' School, and the Presideot
and Senior FelloWS atat-tit. John'a College, was irrele-
vant and repulsive in the highest degivo. His Lordship
is a clever man—though of a Weathercock order of intel-
lect ; but he has not one atom of discretion. He acts
upon no settled principles., but is uniformly the slave of
temper. God help the Cabinet' in which he holds a con-
spicuous station! He wreck it before it is six
months old. None knows this better than Sir Robert
Peel, who agrees 'about as well with Lord Stanley—
despite the latter's cajolery—as oil with vinegar.
CITY ELECTION.—Mr. Horsley Palmer, the Chai-
rman of the meeting to promote the election of ConServa,
tives for the City of London, is the same person who.
moved resolutions in the Guildhall about nine - months
ago in favour of a fixed duty on corn. ''He is, therefore,
at one and the. same time favourable to the Conservatives,
who are for a sliding , scale, and favourable to the fixed
duty. What influence ought such a weather-cock to
have on-public opinion ? Or is it that the Conservatives
in London are obiged to show free trade colours, in order
to seduce the electors to follow them ? If such be the
case, our cause must be nearer success than we dared to
anticipate, for our opponents are obliged to come with us.
EXPENDITURE OF THE TORIES AND WHIGS.—The
Tory Journals have of late been boasting very much of
I the reductions made by the Tories previous to the Whigs
getting into office. That, however, is an old story ;
but, singularly enough, that very circumstance which is
now used to detract rom the merit of the Whigs, was
formerly stated to their honour. It was not only that
they made great retrenchments, and abolished many
taxes, but they did both to.a great extent, after the ecii
nomical Government of, the Duke of Wellington had, it
was said, left nothing for them to retrieve, and no taxes
to abolish. It was precisely because the Whigs came
after the Tories, who had made some retrenchments, and
were able to make more, that they are so meritorious.
The more, therefore, that the Times and its compeers
Low enlarge on the reduction made by the Tories, and
greater is the merit of the Whigs who came after and
went much beyond them.
