extract of the U pas tree, but none have reached
the intended mark. They return, like the Aus-
tralian "Boomerangs," to those by whom they
were dismissed, and only wound the hands that
aimed the missiles.
The speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer
to his constituents was sufficiently •damaging to
the family party who seemed to think that they
had a- " right divine" to place and power, who
could not rest contented in the " cold shade" to
which they had been consigned by their own
truckling and undignified policy ; but its force has
been greatly increased by the wild tactics of the
new confederates. It has again and again bedn
brought forward, and every time with more de,
tided success to the Ministry. On ; Fri-
, day, Lord JOHN RUSSELL contrived once
more to "upset the coach." The castiga-
tion which he they received will not speedily
Or easily be forgotten. He writhed under the
flagellation, so well merited, and so unsparingly
administered. That did not suffice. The veteran
Viscount—the convenient asgociate of a dozen
administrations, endeavoured to come to the
rescue, or rather to follow up the attack. It
seems that the determination was to hunt
in packs —so that what could not be
achieved by individual prowess might be accom-
plished by wearying out the doomed victim.
But the skilful and practised maitre d' armes met
one even more " cunning of fence," fully able to
protect himself, and to retort on his adversary—
and the wild passes of his bottleholders were easily
parried by the accomplished seconds, who entered
the arena after the English M. HYENNE had been
placed hors de combat. Never did the Financial
Minister appear to greater advantage that last
night, and the First Lord of the Admiralty, and
he Attorney-General for Ireland, fully maintained
their well established reputations Poor Sir
GEORGE GREY, and still poorer Lord JOHN
RUSSELL, were not merely castigated, but pickled.
The lash was vigorously applied, and every strin-
gent cut struck home, and made the unwilling
recipients wince.
The operations of Friday and Monday were,
as truly stated, " a combined movement," but
they fell completely to the ground. The Right
Hon. Gentleman against whom they were aimed
was " too cunning of fence," or rather was too
completely armed with the panoply of truth and
justice, to be pierced by such missiles. His oppo-
nents felt and quailed under the scourge. They
yowled under the well-merited laceration, and
may even at the eleventh hour, discover that
" discretion is the better part of valour."
Lord PALMERSTON himself occupied too fragile
a domicile to indulge in pastime so dangerous and
30 unusual. Had there been anything wrong in
the address at Slough, it could not be compared
o the reckless demonstration of the 9th Nov.,
when he cast down his gage before all the great
Powers, or like the excited Hibernian at a
provincial fair, or pattern trailed his "eotasnore"
Along the ground, and defied any one to tread on
the dust-besprinkled skirt. If everything said out of
the House to constituencies or cenviviial
parties—if every postprandial oration was to be
made the subject of repeated and protracted dis-
cussion, the business of the nation will suffer
materially. The Opposition could not sneer at
the alleged shortcoming of the Government,
when they themselves were alone to blame for
the gross waste of much valuable time.
The debates have not, however, been useless ;
the discussions have not been altogether thrown
away. They have exhibited in the strongest light,
the fallacies promulgated by the Whigs—the
absurdity of supposing that either Lord PALMER-
STON or Lord JOHN RUSSELL were the recognised
leaders, or could command the support of the in-
dependent Liberals. On this point, Mr. DISRAELI
made some unpleasing revelations. He said :
" I want to know whether the Bucks speech is
401 to be the subject of the adjourned debate, and
what the result is to be. I take it for granted that
there is to be no division. Divisions are no
longer the fashion. As far as I could collect from
the noble lord opposite (the member for London)
on Friday night, the object of the demonstration
was to exhibit the great Liberal party in opposi-
tion to the Government. That is a legitimate and
constitutional course for a party to take. If the
noble lord is a Liberal ; if he sympathises with the
great Liberal party he is perfectly justified in show-
ing to the country the opinions of the great Liberal
party in opposition to the opinions of those who
occupy the Treasury bench. Bnt lam bound to
say that I do not see bow that clearly applies to the
Noble Lord who addressed us to-night, because I
cannot understand any feeling, sentiment, or
interest that unites the Noble Lord and the mem-
bers of the late Government with the great Liberal
party. I take the operations of Friday and Mon-
:lay together because they were a combined move-
ment, and I shall address myself to the united
demonstration, though I confess I cannot clearly
see the drift of the movement. I cannot see how
the two Noble Lords and the great Liberal party
opposite can act together. The great Liberal party
are in favour of vote by ballot. Are the members of
the late Government in favour of the ballot ? The
great Liberal party are in favour of the abolition of
church rates. Is the late Government in favour
of the abolition of church rates ? The great
Liberal party is in favour of the motion of the
Hon. Member for Surrey for the extension of the
county franchise. Is the late Government in
favour of that proposal? All we knew is that
they opposed it on principle wheel it was brought
forward formerly. There is another subject in
which the great Liberal party are
interested.
It is the subject of economy. Were the
late Government in favour of economy ?
It is my painful duty every day of
my life to be a witness to the expenditure of
the late government, and a more reckless, extra-
vagant, profuse expenditure never existed. The
great Liberal party are in favour of publicity.
They always look for publicity in transactions of
the greatest importance. Now, there never was
a government which exercised such a reserve in
affairs of state as the late government. The only
charges which they were always urging against
those who sit hero were that they did produce
public documents. The only charge against as
was that we published a dispatch ; but no one
can say that we ever intercepted, a letter."
It would be difficult, if not impossible, to
expose the falsity of the pretensions that have
been urged, the absurdity of the claims put for-
ward in mare decided and unequivocal terms.
At all events, we may say, that Lord PALMPRSTON
has taken nothing by his motion, and that neither
himself nor his new friend have as yet succeeded
in Extricating themselves from the " Slough of
Despond" into which they were cast, by the
skilful hand of the Financial Minister.
