THE SUN.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15, 1859.

So the Great Reformer is to be our Minister for
Foreign Affairs, his successful performances at
Vienna being of course the reason. It does seem
at first sight a rather unlucky omen for the happy
reunion, that he, having formerly offended Lord
PALMERSTON on one question of foreign policy,
and subsequently having had to quit Lord PAL-*
MERSTON'S Ministry on another, should now rejoin
bim in the very department in which he could not,
either as chief or subordinate, agree with him before.
However, at their forgiving age byegones ought to
be byegones; let us hope they are so. So far as
parlour secrets have been divulged, backed indeed
by all appearances, we must confess that Lord
PALMERSTON seems to have evinced a spirit of
" dignified conciliation," and to have been ready to
make any reasonable concessions to his uneasy
colleague ; but unless rumour be altogether at
fault, Lord JOHN has been as exacting as any
tyrant beauty in the full bloom of youthful charms.
The senior Lord doubtless makes every allowance
for the restlessness of a man who, though not
asked by his Sovereign to be first, cannot be
easy without a virtual premiership. Unluckily
there can be but one Premier, and still more
unluckily, if that Premier be in the House of
Commons, he must lead it ; and most unluckily
of all, if there be one post which the junior
Lord desiderates more than another, it
is that of Leader of the House. How is
a stable equilibrium to be found for such
conflicting forces ? How shall the centre of
gravity be determined ? We hope events may
falsify our fears, for we cannot afford to be always
changing Ministers and throwing away sessions,
and establishing a practice of biennial Parliaments.
When the new Ministry is formed we shall be
ready to give it a fair trial : it is the due of any
Ministry; but the new Ministry must give us what
is fair according to the mode in which it took office.
It is to be remembered that the indulgence which
was fair to Conservatives in a confessed minority,
who took the Government at the request of the
Sovereign after the fact of its being in a minority

was pointed out to her,—who took it because her
MAJESTY stated the plain truth that the Liberal
sections were too hostile to co-operate, and that she
had no alternative but to resort to the largest of
three minorities—the indulgence fair to a. Ministry
thus situated, from a House which had created the
situation, cannot be extended to the present Govern-
ment. They take office on the avowed ground of
being in a majority, and of being united. Majority
and uniotrwere the watchword at Willis's; majo-
ity and union were the cry of the debate. If the
Liberals were not sufficiently amalgamated to make
their union efficient, it was gratuitous folly to turn
out their opponents. No one pretends to deny that
the late Ministry did many things for which
Liberals are thankful. Indeed, ha..d they not
adhered too pertinaciously—chiefly, we believe,
because their taunting opponents had almost
made it an affair of honour—to those points in
their Reform Bill, which, at the wish of the coun •
try they are now ready to concede, they might have
been securely in office yet. We did not spare those
errors at the time. We acknowledge them to have
been great errors ; we urged them to give them. up.
They were wrong and unwise in not doing so ; but
they confess this now. The country gave them
some thirty seats, and they in return have conceded
the points objected to by the cowatry. A Miniitry,

therefore, is ejected which, as the blue-book now
shows beyond dispute, was a sincere
_Neutrality
Ministry, and which was ready to give us a Reform
Bill freed from the objectionable clauses. If these
things were sure under a minority Ministry, what
are we to look for from a majority Ministry ?
Two things we must look for at least. In the
first they must imitate ; in the second, surpass the.
retiring Ministry, or they had better have refrained
from a vote of no confidence. They must imitate
them in their freedom from exclusiveness ; they
must surpass them in the popular character of their
measures. Truly enough was it urged, that what-
ever the faults of the Tories, it was not one of them
to make government and administration the
appanage of a limited circle of great families. If
the Liberals really look as favourably on the
plebeian orders as the Tories, then let them show
it by following the example of the latter. No one
denies that wherever they found talent or
genius at leisure for the public service, they
were ready to avail themselves of it. They
cordially welcomed all classes and orders
of the Conservative body ; ability had, at
least, the encouragement of knowing that it
would not be postponed to aristocratic noodleism.
It may be said that they merely wanted to use it.
Of course they did. But to be used by a Govern-
ment in the public service of the country, is just
the ambition, the honourable ambition, of aspiring
minds. We believe that the whole Liberal Party
both in the House and in the country, acknowledges
that the Tories set their own leaders an example in
this respect ; an example, which if not followed in
a spirit as frank and ungrudging as theirs, will soon
show the evil consequences of neglecting • it.
The Liberals have numerous able men outside the
old routine squad, who, were they among Lord
DERBY'S three hundred, would have honourable
posts offered them at once in any Ministry formed
by him.

The second point is the sequel of the first ; as
the first is the pledge for the second. If we are to
have from a Liberal Ministry measures which sur-
pass in liberality those of their opponents, then we
must have in the Cabinet and in the Ministry a
much larger proportion of acknowledged—Radicals,
we may as well use the word. Of men whom
Whigs, as well as Tories, concur to honour with
that uncourtly, but expressive designation. It will
not do merely to have a single Sir W. MOLES-
WORTH, neutralised completely by ten to one hos-
tile to his views ; we ought to have a sufficient
number of men devoted and pledged by all their
antecedents to the popular cause, to insure
that popular demands shall be listened to in the
Cabinet itself, and shall modify the measures it
initiates in Parliament. Austria herself governs
for the people ; at least professes to do it. We
want Government through the people. We want
to govern ourselves, and to do it by the Cabinet to
which our representatives agree to give their con-
fidence. More popular measures therefore imply
more popular men in the Cabinet itself. The
,new
Ministry can hardly go wrong in foreign affairs.
They find them in the right groove at their entrance
on office ; they have but to keep them there. It is on
home policy—on Reform—that they, as well as the
late Ministry, will be shipwrecked, unless they can
by a bill which will rouse the country show cause
for turning out their predecessors. It will not do
to bring in Mr. DISRAELI'S Bill minus the errors of
which Mr. DISRAELI himself proposed to strip it.
The country will indignantly exclaim, No thanks
to you for that. Mr. BRIGHT must not suffer his one
hundred and fifty seats taken from paltry boroughs
to be sent into oblivion. Above all, the two hun-
dred and forty members favourable to the Ballot
must not allow the Reform which all Liberal con-
stituencies demand to be forgotten. And Now is
the time to insist on such things. If a Ministry be
formed which ignores them, it will be left by the
people to the tender mercies of the Tories. It will
be no concern of the people's to keep it in office.

The enthusiasm of the Italians has proved equal
to our expectations. It would have been marvel-
lous indeed if it had proved otherwise. There, at
least, the pear was in truth ripe—the first breeze of
insurrection might have shaken it down. How
much more, therefore, when the roaring hurricane
of war was storming through the great boughs
of that political banyan which has, during these
last few centuries been covering all the Roman
peninsula as with a forest of larger and lesser
nationalities—a sudden whirlwind of battle carry-
ing off a branch here and there in its passage, and
making the roots vibrate to their uttermost foun-
dations. Could CHARLES ALBERT but have fore-
seen the events now occurring on either side of the
boundary line between Piedmont and Lombardy
it would have consoled him for his lost crown, and
his broken sword, and his shattered sceptre on the
field of Novara—it would have carried solace even

his lonely death-bed at Oporto. Could PEPE
have looked securely enough into the future to
have recognised the foreshadowing of the victories
won over the Austrians,.in 1859, at Montebello, at
Palestro, and at Magenta, it would have sweetened
the bitterness of that frequent draught of hope
deferred,which during his long and agitated lifetime
he had so often occasion to quaff to its very
dregs—only to have the cup again and again re-
plenished. Could ORsINI but have beheld in
prophetic vision from his dungeon the triumphal
entry into Milan of the Emperor of FRANCE and
the King of SARDINIA, he would have cursed
the hand that in the frenzy of a mistaken and
fanatical patriotism had hurled the deadly missile
uPon, theicause-,vay of the Rue le Pelletier. The
bugle note which is the signal (GOD grant it!) of
Italian emancipation, is sounding now no less
earnestly
from the ranks of the Zouaves and the
Tureos, the
stalwart Grenadiers of France, and
the little red-legged soldirs of the Line,
from the squadrons of the Chasseurs d'Afrique, and
from those of the Chasseurs de Vincennes—no Jess
earnestly, no less enthusiastically, from these than
from the Piedmontese army under King VICTOR
EMMANVEL, or from the heroic free corps of hitherto
exiled Italians under the terrible banner of GARI-
BALDI ! It is like the echo, in these times, of
the trumpet-call of RIENZI. It is as moving, hs
thrilling in its tones, as the note wound upon the
horn of ROLAND in the pass of Roncesvalles. It
has already wakened the Italian people, north and
south, from their hopeless apathy, and their pro.
longed and apparently interminable degradation.
Tuscany has thrown off the yoke. Parma has
risen. Lombardy is rising. Venice waits only
for the hour and the man. The States of the
Church :have already recognised the, opportunity
which identifies the cause, even in a constrained
neutrality, with that now maintained at the
point of the sword and the bayonet, at
the mouth of the minie rifle and the
cannon of precision in the allied Armies of Emanci-
pation. Even Naples and Sicily, we cannot but
feel assured, hearken with profound solicitude to
the distant reverberations of the sound of that great
war which is now being waged in the name of
Italy, not of a part, but of all Italy, at the opposite
extremity of that glorious and beautiful peninsula.

A little better this bold conflict than the nomadic
diplomatic mission nearly a dozen years ago of
