SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS
TIMES.—A seat in the Lower House is not altogether
the transcendental luxury it is supposed to be by imagi-
native persons whose enthusiasm may have taken a po
litieal turn. This is the happiest Moment of my lite"
'3s's the grateful candidate in whose favour the plurality
of the electors of Rottingdean may have just record( d
their votes. He looks forward to a long career of dis-
tinction, and to ample share of those honours which
usually fall to the lot of a enceessfal statesman. Shall he
begin operations I:ke the late Sir Robert Peel, and con
tent himself at first with setting the House right upon
a few points of hueines• P—sh 41 he burst upon his asto
niched audience in a set speech, which may either prop
the fortunes of a telling Cabinet, or wrest the reins o
Power from a presumptuous Premier? It matters but
little. Whether he adopt the more wary policy, or boleti:,
disclose himself in all his strength. there can ea no qu
Lion as to the dazzling destiny which awaits him. We
need scarcely say that ere two months of the session have
elapsed, the young M P. finds that he is singulsrly mis-
taken in his estimate of the character of the House, end
of the pert which he himself may hope to
perform. He is bullied by the Whipper-it,
of the Treasury, or of his own party, if he
be in opposition. He is draughted into a Com-
mittee-room, and compelled to f all day like a do;
The night only brings a change, not a cessation of labour.
He is under the obligation of listening to tsdious speeches.
live-sixths of which might be stereotyped for constant
use. He finds that Lord John, and Sir James Graham,
and Mr. Hume are not made of very inflammable mate-
rials, and that he is called upon to contend, not with
Men in the ordinary sense of the word, but with sections
Of politicians whose minds are made up without refer-
ence to any oratorical rockets that may be discharged on
either side. Nor is he left quite at peace by his en-
lightened supporters of Rottingdean. Could he obtain
the patronage of all the small berths in the Customs and
Excise, they would not satisfy the rapacity of his disin-
terested constituents. Then there is a certainty of
some knotty question which will shake his chances of re-
election, whichever way he may give his vote. The
Squire thinks Mr. Cobden little better than a humbug.
The Quaker corn-merchant and apothecary in the High.
Street hold Mr. Sturge to be something more then a
1144. All three recorded their votes for our young
friend at the late election, and now the Members are
passing out into the lobbies on the question of cutting
"Iva thersupplies for our national armaments. Without
that further, we think we have said enough to show
'eat there is a set-off against tee outward splendour of
a senatorial career, even after the embryo Premier
has been chaired and the oaths duly taken. But
all this is nothing. We have hitherto been speaking
of the triumphs of a successful man, not of the strug-
gles it may have cost him to attain the object of his am-
altion—of the Member, not of the candidate for Parlia-
mentary honours. Let us see by a practical example the
depths
to of meanness to which a man will descend in order
secure the fruition of the luxuries we have just de-
gibed. There has just been a gap in the representa-
ti," of Limerick, and various candidates had offered
_eemselves for the suffrages of the constituency. The
c_cecessful one among them is Lord Arundel, the eldest
rith and heir presumptive of the Premier Duke of Eng-
land. Fate and fortune would appear to have done all
that •
fate and fortune could do in behalf of this young
-11eleman. Whether politically or socially, his rank
Places him in a position which it would cost the best man
lira the country the labour of a life to attain. There are
e7,„Ettglish constituencies which would not have been
sake; to give him an ample trial for his name'.
-1-et there is none by which he would not have been
Sato
with respect and consideration. What had
do with Limerick ? How is it we find him
en
oYing the political mendicant on the Atlantic
a" of Ireland ? Why should he doff his coronet
etie
e with bated breath for the Parliamentary leav-
e- g,a Of Daniel O'Connell's broken-down son? In all pro-
y, there there is nothing thee would have justified such a
'op but the clearest expression on the part of such a
,I3cstituency son desire to be represented in Parliament
the eldest of England's premier peer. Unless he
e°aISI make out good cause for the intrusion, and clearly
prove that he came forward as the representativoof some
Pelitical principle, which, but for him, might have gone
unrepresented, what had he to do with the suffrages of
he constituency on the remotest shores of Ireland? Is
tc outherod Herod now that he is returned, and
serve the cause of Ireland by outdoing the follies and
;Itraragances of her most unfortunate representatives?
are inextricably involved with those of the constituency
sad the country, they were in a fairer position than
Lord, Arundel when they asked the support of the
electors for one of their own number. If,
"'en, Lord Arundel's pretensions break down
ea, an Irish candidate before the claims of
iirlshalen, how does the matter stand upon re-
l'ous grounds? Let us assume it as a fact that the
It4h4jority of the constituency of Limerick is opposed to
5e recent legislation against the extravagant preten-
,ll, 5 of the Papal See; and that Lsrd Arundel's address
sin °died his determination to resist that enactment by
to the means in his power. What then? Were they
en" Roman Catholics as well as he? Were they not,
e?4,aellY with him, prepared to give effect to the wishes
teethe constituency, had one of their number been re.
thiacd.to Parliament? That is so; but it was just at
eel; Point that their just claims ended, and Lord Arun•
ovka Pretensions began to take effect. These Roman
to '°lles were willing to honour their Church, but not
ehilbase themselves. With Lord Arundel, to honour his
leeellreb is a matter of duty—to abase himself, a labour of
pet:* Will it be credited that, in order to secure the
the'r,,Y honour of representing this Irish constituency,
the uuke of Norfolk's eldest son has been seen on
ete„tailway platform of Limerick to throw himself
le,;"44is knees, and fawn like a beaten spaniel before

raMatter of business, between the Bishop and the
ng nobleman on their way down to Limerick by the
eisevy:y train. Lord Arundel was to fall down and

steee.,;"alf. However it was arranged, when the train

Reece of °f the Howarth! the next moment your de-

the ettor's tail have done more, with all the terror of
freel'mulsbailiffs before him, if he ventured to shrink

kese to believe that he wallowed in the mire from the
