mean no harm—he may only wish to obtain an electoral
sanction to a good principle; but folly sometimes effects
more injury even to those whom it loves than guilt, and
we trust Mr. Wilkes, particularly if he possesses all the
claims on popular support he lentions in his address,
will see the propriety of not forfeiting them, and wall
withdraw from the ridiculous situation he has thrust;
himself in. If he do nut, the assertion which we have
heard, thathe is acting under the influence of the Tories„
will appear credible, and will receive general credence.
One of the impudent and lying assertions of the bread-
, taxers is that for every quarter of foreign corn intro-
inced into consumption in England, a quarter of British
co:4 would be driven out of the market. For several
years past we have imported on an average netudy'
900,000 qrs. of foreign grain. Has there hi that time
been 900, ()Ci° qrs. of British grain driven out of the
market ? :ins a field been left uncultivated in conse-
quence of the importation ? No. The assertion, then,
is a bread-taxer's tie. It might be true if wheat
down to 30s. per qua:'_vter—if the people were fed
in
were sitting in idleness--"-And wheat Ivere to be sold

THE SHERIFF'S AND SIR ROBERT PEEL.—SOITIe O. 7
City wits, renowned for practical yokes, have shut up 0. °
dolls in a cage, dressed like the Sheriffs ; and with till,'
emblem of the insulted privileges of the City, they Won
the electors against' voting for Lord John Russell, who
asserted the privileg se eof Parliament. Unforttinately for.
the party joke, Sir Robert Peel boasted in the goo he
of
Commons in his speech on the sugar question thci.t
had stood by Lord J. Russell throughout the privilege
question. The Tory wit tells, therefore, against the 'VT
chieftain. Sir Robert Peel, who commanded the OpP°s_,'-
tion, and controlled the Government, was the real
author of the imprisonment of the Sheriffs, as lie has
always been the assertor of the privileges of Parliament,
and the enemy of the privileges of the people. The
caging of the Sheriffs, and the passing of the Poor-law,e
which for an electioneering putpose, are ascribed to the
Whigs, belong quite as much to the Tories as them.
The sins of both are now brought home to them.
BOROUGH OF FINSBURY.—A meeting of Mr. Wakte.,
friends takes place this evening, at seven o'clock, at the
White Conduit House, when the Hon. Member will be
present.
TRICKS OF THE TORIES.—The Standard last nigbt •
published the following placard which it received flys"
Bath :—" Cancel the national debt ! Free trade, cheo
bread, and plenty will be the result. Let the peoolef.
therefore, establish ' Anti-National Debt Leagues.; I°
every town, for the purpose of accelerating that eve,nt-
Vote for Roebuck and Duncan ! No national debt. .04°
Corn-laws." It is plain, on the face of such a preposter-
ous notice, that it is the invention of some Tory, wiwi
expects by it to damage the popular cause. The nationa,
debt will soon be cancelled if the bread-taxers be alloweo
much longer to plunder and irritate the people. The
Anti-Bread-tax League have proclaimed again and aru'l
that the people Cannot pay the national debt anfthie
bread-tax, consequently the real enemies of the fun'''.
holders are the bread-taxers, and their real friends aim
those who seek to put an end to the bread-tax in orderf.
that the nation may be able to continue the payment of
the debt. The placard is obviously an invention of the
Tories, and even the bold and ingenuous Standard does
not venture to imply that it emanated front the Co of
mittee of the Radical candidates, or was known to any
their friends. It is an insult to the understanding of °A
reader to suppose that he will be taken in by such a bal.'.
artifice.
