THE SUN.
LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 26, 1860.

Mr. DISRAELI has made a very clever move.
When he headed the deputation from his own
party to Lord PALMERSTON, he incurred not the
slightest risk himself, since if he failed he would
lose no support ; at the same time he tempted Lord
PALMERSTON to commit himself with a very active :
section of the Liberal party, and, marvellous to say,
the bait took ; the wary old Premier was caught.
Ho saw a phalanx of Tory strength, headed by
Tory leaders, consistently on their part, offered
him, if he would persist in a little scheme which
had (it is now said at his instigation) been issued
from the Cabinet workshop. The temptation was
too strong. Now, he seemed to think, I shall get
my way after all : every man shall record his reli-
gious profession and that of his household, de-
spite these Dissenters and Radicals; Mr. DIS-
RAELI doubtless withdrew, pretty sure that he had
at once served his own friends and irretrievably
damaged Lord PALMERSTON with his.
It might have been all very well for Lord PAL
MERSTON to stick to his Census crotchet and his
" Religious Profession" column in the census
schedule if he could do without the " Radicals and
Dissenters." He knows, however, as well as Mr.
DISRAELI, that in the present state of politics
neither party can have a majority without them.
But Mr. DISRAELI has this advantage—the Radi-
cals will not be angry with him for asking Lord
PALMERSTON to stick to a High Church scheme
after the latter had proposed it; all their anger
will centre on the man who not only proposed the
obnoxious column, but who gratefully accepts
Tory aid against his own supporters to en•
able him to maintain it. We have observed
that many of his " advanced Liberal " sup-
porters are already remarking that it would have
been better for them if-the Tories had been in office !
Mr. DISRAELI, they say, would never have insulted
them, never have teased them on a most annoying
point, by proposing a " religious profession" column.
They do not blame him for clutching a godsend from
the Liberals, but they affirm that he would not have
done the thing himself. They are comparing
the fair treatment they experienced at his
hands, for perfectly independent. support, when
he was last in office, with their present mal-
treatment, as they consider it, by the leader
of the party whom they are expected to
support. Already we observe that a list of mem-
bers, much larger than the Government majority, is
associated with a committee for resisting the " re-
ligious profession" clause to the uttermost, and
they seem to be determined either to conquer or to
throw Lord PALMERSTON overboard.
We do not wonder at this. We have warned the
Cabinet that it might, and probably would be so.
A co •
nsiderable number of the Liberal members
and their Sthe upporters are exceedingly annoyed by
impertinence of the question to be put to them ;
and all persons of common sense must see that it
is a clear scheme to magnify most irrationally
the Church of England against Dissenters, by
a return which must give it a most un-
just preponderance of numbers. Between the
annoyance and the injustice of Dissenteu without
whom the Liberals cannot return fheir members,
the tide is running strongly ; it will certainly
tell on the next election, and we should think
on
Some of the divisions, even at this period of the ses-
sion. Unless, indeed, Lord PALMERSTON beat a
timely retreat we should not be. at all surprised if
he find our warning to by true—that men will re-
sent a gratuitous insult in a small matter, far more
bitterly than difference of opinion on a great one.
The same earnest Liberals who would give Lord
the ballot—Din
PALMERSTON, for instance, time on
