TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—The sun of Toryism has gone down for evert Spring-
ing, originally, out of that ocean, whose billows at the close of
the last century lashed the shores of every European country,
it has soared with a dazzling splendour, and is now entombed
with those who grew, and who basked beneath its genial
rays. The future historian will have a theme worthy the
great Athenian's concise and energetic pen in describing the
birth, progress, and decline of Tory influence ; in childhood,
fostered by abuses, insidious and slanderous ; in maturer years,
proud, contumelious, blind and blood-thirsty ; in old age, half-
inclined to repent, hesitaing. seeing, but eager to avoid its
fate, until at last, worn out and covered with woun,ls, is leas
been hurrie,d off the stage by one small firm stroke of public
opinion. -11 ever a man could have kept together the crazy
materials of the late Cabinet, it was Sir Robert Peel—clever,
cautious, backed by long experience and by much personal
worth, he was pre-eminently Atted for the leader of his party.
Let us, too, give him his due—he has fought well, leaving no
stratagem untried, but opposed to an enemy numerically and
morally stronger, he has fallen, and his defeat will assuredly
" point a moral," although his campaign be not brilliant
enough to "adorn a tale."
There are many instances on record of battles having been
fought and won, and the conquerors, in the exultation of the
moment so given themselves up to revelry, that the defeated
party have rallied their forces and reversed in their favour the
wheel of fortune. We must take care that this be not our
case; the great day is over, but the foe, unable to collect en
army, is still hovering about in all directions, ready to take ad-
vantage of any division or want of discipline in our camp.
Men of different opinions have united to effect one grand desi-
deratum, but let them remember that if they now split into
separate parties, and will not coalesce to carry out these mea-
sures, the means of performing which they have now in their
own hands, they are opening a door through which, one day
or another, the wolves will again enter. The friendship that
has existed between the Liberals since the accession of the
late Ministry can only be severed asunder to the peril of the
nation. No private feelings, nothing that has happened in
times past ought to obstruct the continuation of this good un-
derstanding. I am convinced that the salvation of the country
depends on this, as that real Patriotism merges all minor con-
siderations into one all-important point. Division is weakness
and, with the political as with the physical frame, weakness is
the forerunner of death. To suppose every man a Patriot who
professes liberal principles, would be about as absurd as to
look for- honesty in•a. Norwich or a Cambridge Corporation ;
interest is the primuni mobile of mazy, and habit forms not a
few ; but in enforcing the necessity of union allusion is; of
course, only made to public men. Let the officers of a re- -
giment understand each other, and the rest will not be in-
clined to mutiny, because they will see no gain to be derived

from it. Ido hope, Sir, that you will lend your powerful aid
for the purpose of impressing on all parties how absolutely in-
dispensable is unanimity of sentiment, on important questions
at least. For the attainment of it every selfish feeling must
be resolutely eradicated from the mind, for so long as
weed rankles in the soil, it will twine round and (1;-%oie., if
not entirely conceal every fair plant. the imrne-
diate extirpation of this base pirzion no rational hopes
of success can be entertained. There must be a ge-
neral cancelling ; these who hold what are called ex-
treme opinions must yield to measures more gradual in their
course, and the timid who are fearful to put their feet forward
must walk boldly out, and meet views confirmed. in their na-
ture, and fixed on a wider basis. Rely upon it, if this be not
the rule of conduct, before we are six weeks older, the Tories
are in office • in other words, the confusion, no iv confined to
the few, will extend to the many, and then when the waters of
agitation are running.mountains hiqh, when the vessel of state
• is pitching and straining her masts and cordage--whose voice
will be heard in the storm?—whose hand will gu'dc the
rudder ? When the ship is driving fast on the rocks, and all
hands are called to work her, where is the man with power
enough to command the multitude, and ordain the manoeuvres ?
Fellow countrymen and fellow reformers I if UNANIMI rir be
not your watch word—if you indulge in idle speculations—if your
impatience will not allow you to watch the thick fog of igno-
rance and superstition, clearing up as it is pierced by the steady
unerring beams of education—if you are clamourous without
reason, and deaf to the voice of experience, or the wisdom of
history—you are committing suicide. You are desecrating the
cause of liberty, which is founded on justice and morality_
you are promoting the views of your enemies—you are alie-
nating every heart that beats with love of country and detesta-
tion of tyranny—you are pandering to the basest vices, and
removing the only bar that separates immortal man from the
perishing beast. _ But I feel confident that-you will not bring
these fatal consequences upon yourselves, you will belie your
slanderers, and frustrate their wicked designs. You will NOT
open the bags of Xolus—you will NOT suffer that tree, which
is taking root and whose sap is spreading through the branches,
to be darkened by the gathering. clouds, and torn up in the•
hurricane of a convulsive revolution.
