JOHN RUSSELL'S address -to -the electors of

London :
The plan of Lord John Russell is skilfully conceived,
and, if perseveringly followed up, and - none of his

embarrassment for the future Tory Ministry:— A

the Whigs were perpetUally driven to coaimmi,,erS
times by yielding to the Tories, at ether times 0-
Radicals, satisfying nobody, and eventually tindiiik the
yo-
ries and Radicals united as their enemies. The. 11'. big
party has no 'longer any ,of these concessions t°
make. In opposition it can say what it 13 es.
Lord Russell clearly lays down the Progr11,11";::,
" Civil, Religious, and Commercial liberty.' 'Pus -
fine theme, and what is passing in England sufficiently in-
dicates the reforms which are still necessary for securing',
the triumph of this principle. The Tories who are not
terrified at the idea of political liberty, because, with thh„e
habits of the country, power is the inevitable prey 01 tr.:
richest and most ssilful, have not the same toleration 1!)r_
religious and commercial liberty. Whatever may bet.°
moderation of Sir Robert Peel, he will, on religious of

Lord Russell will not therefore be in want of occasion_
for a struggle, and the griefs of Ireland will

The measures lately proposed-by the Wings' 01

the harvest should be bad, the mass of the peepol
