them. " A Constitution," says the Globe, "re-
garding numbers as the sole basis of power, is
pro tartto an approach to the anarchy which
results from giving legal weapons for the war of
the poor with the rich," and it continues the ar-
gument to the conclusion, that " the passions
and instinct of subversion lurk in the multitude,
which their delegates must necessarily sa-
tisfy." If such be Whig doctrines, their old
toast of the sovereignty of the people was a
fraud, and they have as complete a distrust of
the multitude, and are as ready to calumniate

them, as the Tories.
The Globe, and those who think with it, are
afraid of giving " legal weapons" for the war
of the poor with the rich ; but they make no
scruple, of which the multitude, now awake to
their rights, justly complain of giving legal
weapons for the war of the rich with the poor.
While the aristocracy deny an extension of the
suffrage, lest the poor should use legislation to
plunder the rich, they establish as limited a suf-
frage as possible in order to enable the rich to
plunder the poor. The sad and even revolting
condition of the industrious classes in this coun-

try who, by dint of the utmost skill and labour,
can scarcely obtain the coarsest means of sub-
sistence, while idle rent-owners and tithe-
owners, idle sinecurists, and pensioners, and
public servants, who are much better paid than
the people they serve, wallow in abundance, is
a clear and unanswerable proof that the rich
have actually made use of the Legislature to
oppress the poor, which they only fear the poor
might do to them were they armed with the
suffrage. This mistrust and dread of the multi-
tude, as if they had not as strong an interest in
the welfare of society as the select few, arising
from a consciousness of having injured them,
are at the bottom of that denial of political
power which the Globe now advocates, and which
power the Whigs must concede before they can
be again placed at the head of the people.
Considering that a powerful opposition in
Parliament and in the country will be ne-
cessary to inspire the monopolists with re-
spect for free trade, and keep them
from inflicting more bad laws on the
country,and considering, too, that the opposition
in Parliament can only be formidable, inasmuch
as it is supported by the multitude out of the
House, we saw with pleasure the toast given at
Brentford, and we saw with equal alarm the ar-
ticles we have referred:to in the Whig journals.
The two things indicate a complete schism, on
principle, in our party, which must he healed
before it can become powerful. It cannot be
expected that the unenfranchised should be con-
tented, nor can their support be obtained with-
out contenting them. The Whigs must, there-
fore, as a party, go for the extension of the
suffrage, whatever may be the opinions of the
Globe, Chronicle, and Leeds Mercury, or leave
the Government permanently in the hands of
the Tories, and see the country exposed to the
continual increase of starvation and discontent.

We call attention to our reports in another
part of The Sun, of the successful attempts made
last night, at two different parts of the Metro-
polis, to establish Anti-Corn-law Societies. At
both the attendance was most numerous, and
the persons present were most enthusiastic. At
both the Chartists interposed, sufficiently to
show that they take a lively interest in political
matters, and wished that a preference should be
given to their own scheme for relieving the
public distress ; but at both the greater number
preferred aiming at the immediate abolition of
the Corn-law to procuring an extension of the
suffrage.
We are inclined to think that it is not wise to
put the objects of the Chartists and the Aboli-
tionists in opposition. Both seek the welfare and
improvement of the people ; but the former de-
mand an organic change first, while the latter
require first a free trade in fond. The Chartists
only ask for an organic change as a means to an
end, and that end is precisely the same as the
end proposed by the Abolitionists—the enact-
ment of just and good laws. So far, then, from
the objects aimed at by the Chartists and the
Abolitionists being hostile, they are the same;
but the Chartists would change the Houses of
Parliament to obtain the good law—the Aboli-
tionists would at once obtain the good law.
The practical question at issue between the
parties is, which is more likely to be successful.
The Chartists are of opinion that the abolition of
the Corn-laws cannot be obtained without first
re-modelling the Legislature; the Abolitionists
maintain that it can, by the hearty co-operation
of the people, while there is no chance at pre-
sent of obtaining a great change in the Consti-
tution. The Abolitionists, it is said, may succeed;
the Chartists at present cannot; and as the
abolition of the Corn-laws would hasten the re-
modelling of the Constitution, it is not wise, it
is said, in the Chartists to abstain from cordially
co-operating with the Abolitionists. We, of
course, should recommend all classes first to
direct their energies to the abolition of the Corn-
law, and rely on that as a means of obtaining a
great extension of suffrage.

The Dublin Evening Mail, after objecting to the ap-
pointment of Lord Eliot, and stating in pretty broad
terms that he is an apostate, goes on to remark:—
" We have every disposition to give Lord Eliot, and
the Administration of which he forms a part, our fullest
confidence—so far as we shall be justified by their actions.
With respect . to him in particular, we. shall 'make
every just allowance for his position, and credit him for'
a desire to repair his'fault—until the contrary shall have
been distinctly manifested. By-gones shall be by-genes;
and we do assure his Lordship and all those friends to
whom our strictures may have given
.pain, that beyond
the few words in which we indicated our original distrust,
neither he nor they should have heard from us on the
subject, had it not been for the injudicious conduct of
hose advocates, whose conversion is perhaps too violent
;o be very rational or quite sincere."
