laws, remarks as followa :—" The Duke ,of Wellingtonhats,
has, to- use a familiar phrase, • let -the cat-out of the
bag.' The old warrior, though ready to March along
with the faction on general occasions, is too li versed
in dtipN.city.to become a direct actor in the yam' of de-
lusion."
The Northern Advertiser says:—" The principal de-
fect which the new Ministry have exhibited is their de-
termination to keep the country in ignorance of their
views respecting the Corn-laws. This is a subject upon
which extensive disappointment has been experienced
:euf expressed, and yet we are not aware that they have
'been less explicit or more reserved in their sewiments
uppn this point than upon any other."
ON the subject of the present distresses of the people,
the Leicester _Mercury remarks as follows :—" To them.
selves—and themselves only, must the distressed look
for help—and their first effort must be to strike down,
to smite to the very earth, every lie—every delusion—
eVery misrepresentation—that falls from the lips of their
ruler*, whether they relate to penury, want, disease,
Sasia-ss&' Banks—whether they be uttered in utter igno-
rancis of the truth—or whether they are the wilful and
uncandid misstatements of the accomplished and po-
lished, but not the, less malignant and black-hearted
sophist—it is their business to track out the calumny
and refute it. The working men
,of this kingdom have
the whole of the Liberal Press at their command, and
yet how rarely do we read an article that touches the
public heart by the boldness and truth of its colouring—
by the fidelity of its minuter touches."
The folhnsmg observations are from the West Briton:
—" 11linister3 say they have not been long enough in
office to make, themselves acquainted with the actual
condition of the country, and that they require four or
five-moirths to do so. But does it need that men should
be placed upon an officia elevation to look clearly around
them for such evidence ? If the members of the present
Government knew nothing of the state of the country
when the late Cabinet propounded its remedial measures,
why did they oppose those Measures ? They admit by
such confession, that their only object was to embarrass
and oppose the late Government. Their main purpose
was to get into place. Self first—country second."
