We lately intimated that the Caie'rVative faction
and prints have two esptail objects in view ii the line
of tactics by which their campaign is governed. One
is to tty up Sir Robert Peel as the only iii'All:capable
of conducting the affair! of this great country, and the
other to cry dtMl the two greatest and most effectual
(bcmns'e not Ministerial) supporters of Ole Mel-
bourne Administration in the Upper and Lower
House. We have taken some pains, as our readers
are aware, during the past week, to coitnteltact both
machinations. We have shewn what r, •gearcecrow
cheval de bataille" is brought forwa7d+lby faction in
the person of Sir Robert Peel. Wo have done
justice with frankness and good faith the popular
deserts of Mr. O'Connell. We hart not, indeed,
seen occasion to say more than wc have done in
favour of a political man, who, with few more faults
than can be alleged against most political men, has
obtained an influence respecting 'rewind and Irish
affairs which alone attests extraordinary talent ; and
who has exerteti that influence beneficially, by proving
himselt to be the redresser of his couttry's wrongs.
If he had more faults than his calumniators could espy
or invent, the rancour of the attacks upon him would
be almost sufficient to redeem them ; their motive
would, indeed, whitewash the darkest character. We
may leave him safely in the hands of his abusive an-
tagonists. If their intention were to write him up,
instead of writing him down, they, in fact, could not
adopt a more certain method of effectirg that design
than by a scurrility of personal abuse unprecedented
either in the writings or the co-nversation of any well-
educated person, and which unites the vulgar slang of
St. Giles 's with the raving incoherencies of Bedlam
and the loose-tongued vituperation of drunken prosti-
tution. They do, indeed, in Hamlet's self-reproaching
language—.

" Unpack their hearts of oaths,
And fall to cursing like a very drab."
We shall not indicate the organ of this coarse
phraseology; but readily quit the nauseating theme.
But the attacks upon Lord Brougham are of a
different complexion, and they are worthy of con-
sideration by the ptiblic, to whom his character
especially belongs. Scarcely was our ink dry where-
with we unmasked another attack upon him—
scarcely had we ceased to celebrate his single-
handed triumph over the pertinacious system of
detraction adopted by his Lordship's opponents—
scarcely had we proved that each blow at his Lord,
ship's honour and influence as a public man, was in
reality a blow directed at the people and their cause
by the anti-popular faction—who feel him to be the
great impediment in the way of their coveted return
to power—when an example was given of the truth
of what we alleged, and of the real tendency and
drift of these attacks upon this steady and effectual
friend of the people. In an evening print, in most
respects anti-Conservative, but in one respect (that to
which we refer) decidedly Conservative in its sym-
pathies—there appeared on Thursday an impeachment of ,
his Lordship in his intellectual character—(where we
should think he was least vulnerable)—and it was
greedily seized upon and copied into the Conservative
prints of the following day. It is probable our readers
may have seen and put aside with a contemptuous
smile the frivolous charge against his Lordship, accom-
panied as it was with a grotesque phraseology of over-
strained inculpation, which defeated itself by its ex-
cess ; it at once resembled in absurdity and malignity
the denunciations of the French Revolutionary Tri-
bune, where to be " suspected of a suspicion" was a
sufficing recommendation to the guillotine. His Lord-
ship, it is alleged, or some one for him, had committed
the awful crime of copying a passage or two into the lec-
tures on political economy, supplied by him to some of
the local Mechanics' Institutions, and nothing short of
" hanging, drawing, and quartering," will satisfy the
vengeance of this " Fouquier Tinville" of the press, who
takes upon himself, with ludicrous ferocity of impa-
tience, the task of " public accuser." We shall make
short work with this trumpery charge. If it were in-
deed true, the outrageous contortion of the assailant
in attacking a friend of the people in a popular task,
while affectedly labouring in the cause of the people
himself—would overshoot the mark, and cause the
bench of public opinion to pass with a laugh from the
accusation to the " order of the day"
" Solvuntur risu tabula ; hic missas abibir
But the charge is totally untrue ; we have taken some
pains to certify ourselves of the merits of the case,
and distinctly state that the allegation against his
Lordship--or his collaborateur—of having copied
passages from an anonymous pamphlet, without
owning the source, is false. The fact is, that the
passages are expressly quoted, in the original lec-
ture, as from the pamphlet—and the omission of
the passage indicating the quotation, had either been
carelessly made in the Journal publishing the lec-
ture, or wilfully, collusively, and wrongfully imputed.
The public, in fact, must have laughed at the very idea
that an extensive mind like Lord Brougham's—expe-
rienced in every kind of composition, and successful
in all—a mind the elastic activity of which is its most
extraordinary feature—a mind decidedly one of the
foremost, not only of Europe, but of the age—should
break down in an elementary lecture on political eco-
nomy, and should suddenly become so decrepid as to
require a crutch, and be compelled to lean for support
on some unknown pamphleteer. We have taken more
pains than we should have done in disproving this
trumpery allegation—only that we believe it part of
the plot which we have before asserted to exist—of
running down per, fas et nefas the most formidable
friend of the people which the Tory aristocracy have
to encounter—who " stands among them, but is not
of them." The first blush of the charge indeed mania
fests its antipopular design. If it is not done to please
the House of hereditary legislators, it is well calcu-
lated to pander to their proud and haughty seclusion
from popular sympathies and popular institutions.
Mechanics' Institutions have done and will do infi-
nite good ; they have educated and disciplined the
public mind to such a degree by the diffusion of sound
information, that Tory manucevre and machination
have no longer the old chance of prevailing over it.
They have studded the whole land with entrenched
posts devoted to the spirit of enlightenment and human
improvement. Their tendency, moreover, is to bring
the pretence of hereditary wisdom to its real worth,
by making mind the only criterion of merit, and intel-
lect the best patent of nobility. Hinc illtelachryme.
Lord Brougham has contributed to their original esa
tablishment, and their successful multiplication. This
is a great offence; but he has rendered it unpardonable
in the eyes of the exclusive caste, by not only supply-
ing these bodies with lectures, but by lecturing himself.
In this nutshell lies the source—the cue bond—of the
whole malicious indulgence of detraction, It is not
against Lord Brougham as a Peer, or Minister, or ex-
Chancellor, from which the charge derives its most
perverse venom ; but against Lord Brougham as a
friend of the people—who having been one of the
chief agents in founding Mechanics' Institutes, and
in diffusing popular information by means of philoso-
phical lectures, does not himself disdain to take a part
as a member and a lecturer in institutions of a pe-
culiarly democratic character. Although ennobled, he
shows by this means that he does not lose sight of the
popular virtues of Henry Brougham

T,
FIRE AT LORD CLONBROCK
S.—rrmay night a
destructive fire broke out in Lord Clonbrock's residence,
near Castleblakeney, by which the left wing of the building,
and several valuable articles of furniture were destroyed.
Had it not been for the activ assistance of the tenantry and
police the entire fabric must have shared the same fate.
The damage sustained is calculated to be not less than
2,001. The accident is supposed to have occurred by the
dropping of a coal from one of the grates in an upper room,
which set fire to the flooring, and thence communicate His
o
the adjacent apartments before it was discovered.
Lordship is at present in §99tland.—A/tldone independent.
