Bill of 1815, however well intended, has certainly con-
tributed to aggravate the present distress. It was passed
under an impression of the inability of this country to
raise corn for its own consumption." This v.-as said in
1822; and in 1841, almost twenty years after, we find
peripatetic preachers holding out as an axiom not ad-
mitting of dispute, the truth of that " impression" the
'acknowledged cause of having passed a law which " how-
ever well intended. certainly contributed to aggravate the
distress of the country." This opiniori he repeated long
afterwards.'
POST.—The great distinction between the Whig and
Tory parties has always been that the latter in or out of
office are equally loyal to the Crown, equally faithful to
the Constitution, equally anxious to promote the welfare
and secure the tranquillity of the country, while it is the
constant p)licy and invariable system of the former
whenever they are out of office to create as much public
confusion and calamity as they can ; to inflame the pas-
sions of the people as much as possible against the estab-
lished institutions of the country, against the Throne,
the Church, and the laws ; to employ all their eloquence
in preaching sedition, and all their influence in exciting
revolt ; to regard it, in a word, as their chief or only ob-
ject to embarrass and weaken the actual Government,
and to pursue this object by any means, how-
ever threatening or detrimental to the safety and
welfare of the State. This has always been the
essential distinction between the Tories and the
Whigs, and the Whigs of the present day seem
determined that they will not degenerate from that
selfish, sordid, traitorous spirit which instigated their
sires to become the abettors .of the French reign of
terror, with all its atrocities and horrors ; the encouraging
encomiasts of Bonaparte in his scheme of universal do-
minion ; the promoters and pittrOns of every English
riot and every Irish rebellion, The Whigs are not yet
out of office ; but the late election having made it clear
that they must soon be out, they have lost no time in
,recurring to their established Opposition tactics. It
might not unreasonably have been expected that so long
as they continued. to receive their pay as Ministers
and servants of the Crown and nation, they would
have continued to make at least some show of loyalty
and patriotism. Whoever expected this, however, would
have been miserably diva ppointed. The Whigs stand
upon no such scruples. Their doctrine plainly is this,
" Let us take the money of the nation to the last penny
that we can get But, as our places are virtually gone,
let us, while we are taking the nation's money, not lose
a moment in trying to produce as much public confusion
and national calamity as we can, sincx those evils hold
out to us the best chance of once more forcing ourselves
into place." We do not make these charges lightly, for
we are prepared with proof that both in Great Britain
and in Ireland the friends and connections of the present
Whig Ministers of the Crown are at this moment ac-
tively engaged in the attempt to excite the ignorant
classes of the population to revolt against the Queen's
Government.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

n_-,‘..

Now we believe the truth to be, that the re-election e'
Mr. Shaw Lefevre was not forced on Sir Robert Peel by
his followers, as the Times asserts, but was his own pro
posaL According to the story of the Times, however, Sir
Robert Pcel has ceased to be the leader of his party be
fore he has crossed the threshold of his office. But whe-
ther the re-election of the Whig Speaker was his free
choice or not, it is written in the Times that it indicates
the neglect of the best interests of the party;" that Sir
Robert Peel, in consequevice, " will not be Minister at
the end of the first session;" that "he will have deserted
his post and his friends;" that he and his party are
" false to the principles of the British Constitution;" and
that he had but one course to pursue, rather than acqui-
esce in such a mischief, " to toss up the Premiership and
retire Into private life ;" but that not having done so, he
has falsified the good opinion which his sponsor in the
Times had entertained of him. This arrangement upon
the Speakership question suggests nothing for particular
notice, beyond the two facts incidentally recorded above;
first, that petty altercation with him whom the " united
party" regards as its leader has already occurred-=al-
ready, before Parliament has already occurred—already,
before Parliament has actually assembled—and next, that
any question in dispute, involving the loss of between
twenty and thirty of the Peel party on a division, is con-
sidered by the leader and the, leading journal to be
" doubtful, if not hopeless."—Examiner.

The plain truth of the matter is, that the Duke of Wel-
lington placed his thumb upon the movements of Sir
Robert Peel, and the furious ultras of the Tory party,
even as St. Peter placed his upon the haddock, and left
an imperishable mark thereon; and that the former was
obliged to receive the impression as the wax cloth that of
.the seal when it isleated. However, let the Times and
the Post settle this matter between themselves—all we
have to request is, that when they and others avail them-
selves of the excluSive intelligence of the British Queen,
they will have the common honesty to acknowledge the
sources from which they derived it.--.-British Queen.
