POST.—We are now no longer in the dark. We are In possession
of the-Minister's new confession of faith. Sir Robert Peel last night
declared, "It Is impossible for me to contend that protection to
native industry is right in principle." It is not necessary just now to
inquire by what process he arrived at this conclusion; he himsel
ascribed It to his close attention to the working of the Tariff. But
the met remains, "native industry" is not right in principle, accord-
ing to Sir Robert Peel At the time of the last general election the
thing was otherwise. Then "native industry" was considered worthy
of being protected; then the constituencies of the country returned Mem-
o hers for the purpose of protecting it ; then agricultural representatives
supported Sir itobert Peal, because, up to that moment, he had pro-
fessed himself friendly to.domestic industry. These elements formed
a great combination that was irresstible. The constituencies remain.
true ; Sir Robert Peel has deserted them ; of the Members elected in
1,811 some have followed their leader, some are lukewarm or waver-
ing, and some are still faithful., The pungent sarcasm, the cutting
irony, the powerful arguments of Mr. Disraeli—the manly indigna-
tion of Mr. Miles—were received with an entlyisiasm that leaves us
lull of hope for the future. It behoves the honest electors of the
kingdom, then, to hear in mind, especially three things:—That Sir R.
Peal • ' finds it impossible to contend that ' pr. section to native industry'
Is right in principle." That there are still in the House of Commons men•
who prove, by their present faithfulness, that they may safely be
- trusted in future. That upon the electors themselves rests the re-
sponsibility of seeking;and securing the return of such Members to a
new Parliament, as shailnot only be willing, but able, to defend the
cause of native industry against the assaults of Sir Robert Peel and
the League ; and that it especially behoves the constituencies to hold
themselves in readiness, at a moment's warning, to petition the So-
vereign that the royal assent be not given to the Ministerial
measure of tree trade until an appeal shall have been made to the
country.
II ERALD.—We are naturally under a great temptation to enter
at once upon the question of the Ministerial intentions—to indulge
in surmises and inferences; and .to urge our own views of the best
policy to be pursued. But we restrain ourselves, from a sense of
what is due to the Government. Sir Robert Peel, although he made
a lengthened speech, declared his " firm determination not to anti-
cipate discussion," although he was aware trot "what he had said
might give rise to some misconception." Untfl Tuesday the plans of
the Government must remain unknown. All that can yet be asserted
with safety then, is, that it isintended to make a considerable change in
the corn-laws. We regret this; .we- see no sufficient cause for it.
With the Duke of Beaufort and the Marquis of Salisbury--staunch
supporters of the Government—we express Our dissent without hesi-
tation. Still, however, it wont bsurd to heap blame upon the
Administration, until we know kind of a change is to be pro-
posed. Certainly, the tenor of a jesty's Speech gives no coun-
tenance to the idea of a rash efffeeping alteration. For four days,
then, let us suspend our judgnicht. , When the proposition is fairly
before the country, we shall not be backward in dealing with it in a
tune and spirit consistent with our frequently recorded opinions on
the question
