THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 18.35

the last five months, the people have been familiarized I
with doctrines respecting dismissals of Ministers, and
dissolutions of Parliament, which in other times would
have excited much alarm and indignation. It has been
broadly asserted that the King may dissolve Parlia-
ment again and again, until, by corruption and intimi-
dation, and exhaustion of popular energy, a House of
Commons may be obtained ready to support the Mi-
nisters of the King's choice—in other words, the Re-
presentation is altogether a nonentity. The Edinburgh
Reviewer admits that when a Ministry has been dis-
missed, their successors are legally responsible for the
act ; but this he contends will still leave the evil in a
great measure unremedied ; " for suppose (he says)
one Ministry displaced, and that no one agrees to
take its place—suppose this suspension of ministerial
functions to continue for weeks—who is answerable
for that ? Indeed, if the King have once dismissed
his Ministers, as he is left without a Government,
hardly any practical responsibility could ever be in-
curred by the men who only entered into places made
vacant long before they were consulted. No assembly
would ever impeach them for a change which they
knew nothing of, till after it had been made ; and yet
that change is the origin of the whole mischief. But
the case may be put of the dismissal causing an inter-
regnum of weeks, and yet followed by no permanent
change, the former Ministers resuming their places
—now, who is answerable for all the dangers of
this ?" There is no doubt that this is a very
ticklish part of the Constitution. The Reviewer sug-
gests that the Crown should be bound in all cases to
have the advice in writing of whoever recommends a
change of Ministers, if it be effected by the address of
either House of Parliament. But individuals may al-
ways be obtained to give a recommendation in writing
whose responsibility would be worth very little to the
country. Though, as the Reviewer has shown, the
responsibility of the successors can hardly be so far
stretched as to apply in cases where there has been a
suspension for weeks, and some persons must take
office, still as the successors of a Ministry must be of
some standing in the country, their responsibility would
be solilothing at all events. The recommendation of a
certain number of Privy Councillors in writing might,
perhaps, be some guarantee. We agree with the Re-
viewer that it is impossible to over-esernte the mischief
occasioned by the late dismissal and dissolution.
" The evils," he observes, " of such temporary changes of
Government as we have been considering, and such as the
late desperate intrigues have produced, are far greater, both
in extent and duration, than at first sight appears to the eye.
They derange all the measures in progress at home; they
shake men's confidence in the monarchical system ; they bring
us into contempt and distrust abroad ; they sow the seeds of
revolution, by unhinging the public opinion respecting our in-
stitutions. Can anything be conceived better fitted to make
men question the benefits of a monarchical constitution, than
to see their whole concerns plunged in confusion, because some
political intriguer, some private friend, some banger-on at
Court, has persuaded one individual in twenty-two millions to
try a rash experiment, supposed to be for his own ease, and
really calculated for the personal gain of his secret adviser ?
Who can doubt that such feats of regal activity are calculated
to make men count•the cost of royalty—not in pounds, shil-
lings, and pence, for that is its least expense—but in human
happiness destroyed, and human improvement delayed ? That
our beloved Sovereign, towards whom so deep a sense of gra-
titude is but strict justice, and can hardly be called loyalty,
has been imposed upon, nobody affects to doubt. Nor can any
one question the kind of creature that has deluded him, who
saw the outrageous transports into which the success of the
plot threw all the intriguers during the first days of their
t. iumph ; above all, to mark the eyes of certain expectants
glistening at the prospect of jobs, and pensions, and gewgaws
unmerited, to them and theirs; and of a death-blow given for
ever to the reforms which are the right, and the luxury, and
the glory of the people. But that people will not again suffer
such a blight to assail their dearest hopes ; it will set vigor-
ously about such improvements of our system, as may give us
security against the evil spirits of the Court seizing upon the
patronage of the Government as soon as Parliament is pro-
rogued, and revelling in the public spoil until the dawn of the
approaching session, like the crowing of the cock, sends them
once more away to skulk in their congenial shades."
This is strong language, but the times demand
strong language. The friends of our Monarchical
Constitution ought not to allow it to sink in public
estimation, from such mad experiments as have lately
been made on the patience of the people.—Morning
Chronicle.
Now that a Melbourne Administration is all but
constructed a second time, the great and absorbing
question with every well-wisher to that Administration
and to his country is, what are the means which must
be employed to insure its durability? It is clear to
d,monstration that the mere formation of a liberal
Ministry is not the only duty, at such a crisis as the
present, which devolves on the head of the new Go-
vernment. Nor will it suffice—supposing such to be
the fact—that in selecting the materials for the con-
struction of the new Cabinet the greatest judgment
has been shown. The Members of that Cabinet may
be individually unexceptionable,—nay, they may be
the very best adapted for their respective offices of all
the men of character, talent, and business habits with
whom this country abounds ;—the new Ministry may,
in other words, be individually and collectively the
strongest that ever was formed, or which it were pos-
sible for men to form, and yet it may be destined
only to enjoy a very short-lived existence. Does this
sound paradoxical in the ears of any of our readers ?
Then they must have forgotten the instances with which
the history of every country abounds— and few snore so
than our own—of the triumphs which corruption and
intrigue have achieved over the most gigantic moral
and intellectual power. Is it possible that the events of
the last ten months—,-to go no farther back—can already
have been blotted from the memories of any of our rea-
dcrc ? Was not the Melbourne Administration at
that time one of great unity of feeling and purpose—
realizing in the expectation of the country, in that re-
spect, as well as from the distinguished talents which
were enlisted in its support, the fable of the bundle of
sticks which could not be broken ? And yet did it not
in one little moment, and without having had the
opportunity of making even a show of resistance,
fall an easy victim to Tory intrigue? We,
therefore, adjure Lord Melbourne and his col-
leagues not to let a lesson so pregnant with in-
struction be lost upon them. Their course is clear as
the noon-day sun. There must be an immediate and
clear sweep of the Tories out of every office in the
State whence they can be constitutionally ejected.
Every department of the government at present
swarms with them, and no Liberal Administration,
however morally or intellectually strong, is for a single
clay, or even hour, safe while they are suffered to re-
tain their situations. To suppose that they have the
power to do mischief, and yet remain inactive, were
to argue an ignorance of human nature, as embodied
in the Tories, with which we are sure there are but
few who can be chargeable. To do the dirty work of
intrigue is one of the resistless necessities of their
nature. Unless, therefore, Lord Melbourne be
prepared for becoming a second time the victim
of Tory intrigue, he must at once let in
the waters, without mercy, upon the Augean
stable. He must not listen for one moment
to the suggestions of a false delicacy. If he
do, he and his Government are a second time
undone—fallen, never to rise again. And why should
he hesitate for an instant to remove the straw and let
the rats scatter themselves, if they please, to the four
winds of heaven ? Why hesitate to cast the foul de-
mon of Toryism out of the Government ? Did the
Tories show any such squeamishness towards him ?
Did they extend any of their tender mercies to the
Administration of which he was the head ? Let the
events of the fourteenth of November last answer the
question. But may not the Tories be conciliated ?
Conciliate the Tories I As soon might we think to
tame the hycena. Lord Grey is qualified to speak to
this point. He attempted the game of conciliation—
we all know with what success. That was the fatal
error of his impolicy ;' the more he conceded, the more
they demanded ; the more friendly his disposition to-
wards them, the more bitter their enmity, the snore deadly
their hate towards him. They proved themselves to
be insatiable as the grave. They bit the very hand
that fed them, and turned the concessions lie made
them into the instruments of further annoyance of
himself. Conciliate the Tories I the thing is morally
impossible ; they and a liberal Government are as irre-
concilable as light is with darkness. Away, then, with
all further attempts at conciliation. The only way in
which the Tories can be dealt with with effect is, to
proclaim war to the knife against them, and that will
only be fighting them with their own weapons. Their
hostility to a liberal Government, and liberal institu-
dons, are of a deadly nature. The feeling must be re-

ciprocated on our part. ;They musenot only be rooted
out of the snug offices in which they have ensconced
themselves so long, but they must be disarmed, and
tied hand and foot, so as no longer to be in a condition
to do mischief. We repeat, therefore, that the course
of Lord Melbourne is clear. If, from any feeling of
false delicacy, or other consideration, he shrink from
the application of the only remedy which can meet the
magnitude of the evil, equally disregarding the lessons
of his own experience and the advice of the country,
then he will not only forfeit all claims to the support of
the people in the hour of need ;—but----on his
shoulders wilkrest the responsibility of whatever conse-
quences may follow the second overthrow of his Go-
vernment.—Morning Advertiser.
