THE POOR-LIENS' FitiEND.—The Morning Herald
claims to be the especial friend of the working classes
It rejects the repeal of the Corn-laws, because that
would lower wages. Yesterday, however, it quoted
long accounts of the extreme distress of same French
workmen to justify the submission of cur people to si-
milar distress. Say any thing against impressment, and
the assertion is made that others than sailors are liable to
be balloted for the militia. So one monstrous injus-
tice is defended, or bolstered up by some other in-
justice, and the Herald teaches patience to our impo-
verished, degraded, half-starved labourers by showing
that the French are also suffering and half-starved by
a Corn-law. If the French choose to be slaves to a
bad system of legislation, why should wd?
JONATHAN'S OPINION OF THE LONDON "STANDARD."
—The New York Express of the 19th of March, in tro•
duces a story of our Contemporary, with the important
heading—" Rumoured Resignation of the Ministers," in
these words We insert the following from the Stan-
dard, with a thorough belief there is not a word of truth in
Ir.". After quoting the news from the West End Cor-
respondent of the Standard, the samo Paper adds—
" The Ministry on Thursday were defeated on an un-
important vote respecting the pension of Sir John New-
port, the vote being 240 to 212—majority against Mi-
nisters 28."
