LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 20, 1834.

The true character of the PEEL AdMinistration may
be read in the conduct of the Ultra-Tories throughout
the country, who, conscious that their friends are now
in office, are every where creeping out of their holes,
like snails on a sunny-day. At Norwich—at Leices-
ter—at Maidstone—at Dublin—the faction is in per-
fect extaeies. In the latter city in particular, they

seem to think that intolerance is again about to become
Lord of the Ascendant ; and, accordingly, at an ag-
gregatetneeting of the citizens, held there on Thurs-
day last, they mustered in strong force, under the aus-
pices of a fanatical Parson, for the very creditable
purpose of getting up a stiff Ascendancy uproar. We
are assured by a Correspondent, that there were not
less than a thousand' Orangemen present, whose sole
object in attending the meeting was, not to declare
their own opinions, but to prevent Mr. O'CONNELL
from making any declaration of his ! At Maidstone the
squad is equally active, and gives tokens of equal
rationality. At the Conservative dinner given there
yesterday, the guests were unanimous in expressing
their admiration of our "glorious Constitution !" It
was now all that it should be, full of springiness and
vitality, though when their opponents were in power,

was the constant Conservative cry that the Consti-

tution was dead and buried. Such a prodigy as this
Constitution of ours, is, we believe, without parallel in
the annals of plicenomena. Within our own recollec-

tion, it has been killed not less than seven times. The
Duke killed it, when he granted Catholic Eman-

cipation ; yet now, say the Conservatives, the Duke is
the very man who has restored it to life. The Church
(not as it should be, but as it is) was, of course, in
high favour with the Kent segment of the factim i.
The Earl of WINCIIILSEA honestly confessed tha t
the English language was wanting in terms of eulog y
worthy to express his sense of the Archbishop of
CANTERBURY'S super-human merits :—" If :he
were called on to name his virtues, they were
so great, both public and private, that Ite
would be found incompetent to the task I" Mod ast
eulogist I Incomparable archbishop I It is singular,
that while the rich Church dignitaries are ever the
subject of panegyric with the Tories, n 9 one ever ;

heard them pronounce encomiums on the poor curates.
It is beneath their dignity, we suppose, to descend to
such vulgar themes. The Noble Earl went on to
observe, that the " Church was instituted for the espe-
cial benefit of the poorer classes What a burlesque
is this ! Look at Ireland I Look at Wales, where, in
consequence of English parsons being appointed
to administer spiritual consolation to people who can
scarcely speak a word of English, the whole Princi-
pality is at this moment a hot-bed of the sternest dis-
sent I His Lordship's praise of the Church was of
course echoed by every speaker who followed him, not
one of whom could discover in it the slightest blemish;
and, as each vied with the other in the fierceness of his
eulogies on the PEEL Administration, it is no unna-
tural inference that this Administration will receive the
support of the Conservatives, on the express condition
that it meddles as little as possible with the abuses of
the Church.

But the country is far too wide awake not to see
through this juggle, and treat it with the scorn it
deserves. The Sun of this day is filled with proofs
that the Reformers of all classes are linked together in
the bonds of a strict and solemn confederation, for the
overthrow of the common enemy. So far, too, as
we can yet learn, the " Much-ado-about-nothing "
Manifesto of the Conservative Coryphceus has been
everywhere received with shouts of laughter by all but
his rankest partizans. This production is indeed an
insult to the common sense of the community.
Though it takes up the three most important Reform
questions of the day, it does not pledge itself to one.
And is such a jesuitical document, than which MA-
CHIAVEL himself never conceived anything subtler or
more tricky, to be the people's sole reward for their
zeal in wresting the Reform Bill from a reluctant
oligarchy ? But it is impossible they should tamely
submit to such cavalier treatment. The ensuing elec-
tions will show that they rate the Tories at their pro-
per worth ; that they will husband all their resources
—concentrate all their energies—pass an act of obli-
vion over all their partial differences—and sternly,
firmly, but temperately bide their time, in the full
conviction that it is close at hand.

We call the attention of the staunch Reformers of
Colchester to the spirited address of their able repre-
sentative, Mr. D. W. HARVEY, which they will find
in another part of The Sun of this day. During his
past Parliamentary career, Mr. HARVEY distinguished
himself as one of the ablest and most uncompromising
enemies of Government corruption and abuse in every
form, and his retirement from the House of Commons

at the present crisis would be indeed a loss, not only to
the constituency of Colchester, but to the country. We
can readily believe that the Tories will stop at nothing
to rid themselves of so formidable an opponent in
Parliament—that bribery and corruption, in every
possible form, will be resorted to, if necessary, rather
than suffer such a man to be continually exposing the
wad springs which move a Tory Administration.
Mr. HARVEY himself says, that "It may be some
comfort to the champions of corruption to know, that
I am chiefly indebted for the present opposition to the
galling motion I felt it my duty to make, for a revision
of the infamous list of pensioners. That motion an-
noyed the Court, and endangered a Cabinet who were
protected from defeat by the artful intervention of men
who now make up the King's Government." This,
we are persuaded, is the real fact. The Court party
never forgave, nor never can, forgive, his exposure of
the unfledged brood of aristocratic minions, over which
a skirt of the Royal mantle has been parentally spread
at the expense of the country. The loss of Othello's
handkerchief was a venial offence in the opinion
of the Moor, compared with the loyal vexation with
which Mr. HARVEY'S lifting up of the regal skirts was
witnessed by the enraged Tories. But will the Re-
formers of Colchester tamely submit to the punishment
of their zealous representative for such an offence against
Tory decorum ? Will they suffer them Selves now, at
the hour of greatest need, to be deprived of the ser-
vices of a public man, who can say of himself that he
never uttered a sentiment, or gave a vote, which even

now he would wish to retract ? Mr. HARVEY'S own
words are—" In retiring from your service, after an
anxious and costly connection of more than twenty

-ears, I can record with proud satisfaction the cheer

ing fact that I have never uttered a sentiment nor given
a vote which, upon reflection, I desire to retract." This

is every thing ; and let us ask, is this the time
to lose ithe support of such a man, merely
because he declines to ruin himself by the ex-
penses of an election contest ? We cannot think

that any intelligent constituency could act so un-
worthily. The Reform Bill was only valuable in as
far as it delivered the electors out of the power of the
Aristocracy, and left them at liberty to choose proper
persons to represent them without any of the old elec-
tioneering bribery. The Reformers may depend upon
it, that no man who means well to his country will
spend money at elections. Those who are ready to
purchase the representation of the people will be still
more ready, when the occasion presents itself, to sell
'le exercise of the influence derived from such repre-

sentation.

And now let us turn from the electors of Colchester
o the Reformers of the Southern division of Leicester,
and our neighbours of the Borough of Lambeth. Both
these Constituencies are addressed by their present
Representatives, and, ye lkarnestly hope successfully.
Mr. DA WSON, whose address we publish in another
column, is a gentleman of whose principles we ap-
prove, and with whose votes in Parliament his consti-
tuents and the country have every reason to be sa-
tisfied. Mr. TENNYSON is a tried Reformer—a man
of sterling integrity, and much Parliamentary expe-
On referring to the appendix to that
most useful and excellent work, the " Black
Book," which has just been published, we
find that both these gentlemen, and Mr. HAWES,
Mr. TENNYSON'S colleague, voted with Mr. HARVEY
on his motions respecting the Pension List. Need
we say more to show the extent of their claims to sup-
port during the ensuing election ? No I no I In
urging this claim we give a history of their Parlia-
mentary
services.

rience.

The worthy Burghers of Tamworth could not have
been more astounded at the honour of being made the
vehicle of a Premier's intentions in the conduct of his
Government, than the people of England will be sur-
prised at the avowal therein made, when contrasted
with the spirit of the times.

There is an air of such apparent frankness, good
temper, and dispassionate reasoning about the epistle,
that had he written upon velvet, with a pen dipped in
fragrant oil, it could not have been more smoothly
indited. His propositions are all so " candidly "
framed, and so calmly defended, that to superficial
glancera they may may seem neither so really bad, nor
