. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC 'JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OP THIS DAY.
b
941 GLOBE.—It is a curious reflection—but those who
perpend it may, find it true—that the greatest dancer
from Toryism is—not Toryism —but mawkish and
morbid. Liberalism. What has this Ministry been
driving at, ever eine° it came in ? What but—like that
actor, who had not got the true pig under his cloak—to
squeak more naturally piggish, than even the true' pig
itself ? What but to catch up every sucked and thrown
away Liberal orange, and suck it over again ?
__What
but to figure as the true Amphitryon, by dint
eof a ten times • , cooked-up banquet--compensate
ing, by its trashy variety, for its want
of the solid substance of sound policy ! The
foreign and commercial policy atiche by this
Government especially illustrate its. claptrap . spirit.
Peace with all the world and his wife ; and a fig for our
naval forces! Free trade through all the letters of the
alphabet—and a fig for cheap bread, or commercial reci-
procity ! Now we may be wrong, but we are strongly
persuaded that this dew-in-borrowed-feathers policy is of
all policy the very worst. We prefer infinitely the Op-
; position of 1838 to the Ministry of 1844. In striking
the chord of national sensitiveness to defence and honour,
they struck the right chord. In placing protective
policy on the ground of the interest of our workpeople,
they -placed it upon the right ground. So far as deli-.
ciency of force t xisted, the Opposition was useful in
provoking its increase. So far as protection was
given to chsses producing other things than the ne-
cessaries of life—so far—as against rivals, refusing
reciprocity—it was rightly given. The policy of de-
fence, and the principle of protection, within such
limits, Were not things to be whistled down the
wind,—not things to be ceded to vague Liberal cem-.
mon-places, whether Whig or Tory. National defence:
—plenty, and protection, for national labour—open com-
merce to supply deficient' necessaries—commerce open
or chised, as foreigners thought proper, in all articles of
which, not the raw material, but the labour on that raw
Material, formed the main value.. These are the
pOints on which a . Conservative Government might'
have ' preserved its character beneficially. Bectuiste
importation, of raw produce decides the ques-
tion of plenty for all. Importation, or non-importa-
tionsof finished goods decides, in many cases, the d;s-
tribution of that plentye-the question whether the la-
bour •of the country shall enjoy it less or' more. It is
quite idle to deny that indiscriminate free trade in
manufacturee, with nations which will not open their
markets reciprocally, exposes the labouring chieses of the
country conceding it to all the inconveniences of excessive
foreign production of particular articles (where such arti-
cles happen to be also produced by the native labotirers), .
without the counterbalancing advantage of admission to
these foreign markets. This is a gratuitous hardship
inflicted on native labour—or at least the only advan-
tage derived from it is the greater cheapness of certain
non-necessaries—a greater cheapness, which is, no a-
tional .object to be placed in comparison with the more
liberal distribution of the means of comfort to labourers
;at home.. Such is our creed in the_ matter Of coin-
Tereial reciprocity. The Opposition of 1838 professed to.
uphold protection for the sake of labour. The- Ministry of,
1844. made one Of its first acts the gratuitous breakkm
down of that protection—the admission, not of the
Main commodities of which. greater abundance ties
necessary-ebut of those countless" minutiae, admis-
sion of which affects the distribution of• comforts
among et our own labouring classes—commodities which
from its all foreigners were loading with restrictions--
ail foreigners except the Brazilians—and with them
these llinieters have succeeded in picking a quarrel
since! This .commercial policy of Ministers comes under
review curiously, in with their foreign policy
in the course of discussion last night. Sir Robert Peel
said—". I wish the Right lion. Gentleman would bear in
mind die feelings of this country if the French Govern-
' merit had proposed -a Select Committee of the Chambers
to* inquire- into. - the mode in which we got possession
of Hong-Kong, and how far it was consistent with
the interests of France that we should extend our posses-
sions in the Chinese seas. I wonder what the Right
Hota Gentleman would have thought of such -a motion."
A British Minister might have remembered • that
lhitain would rejoice to meet such inquiry ; and to place
her conduct in proud contrast to that of any other con-
quering Power. For whom have we conquered Chinese
exclusiveness ? For -the whole world ! FOr whose
interest is- it, that • our Chinese position (coupled
with. our Chinese - policy) should be maintained ?
The • interest • -of • • -the whole peaceful and ethn-
mereial - world ! • Now turn to French condttet.
Mr. Sheil asks (and asks of those whom ParliaMent has
a right to ask). whether our neighbours are, or are
riot, allowed to proceed in Africa in a manner rnilitatlng
with our legitimate and commercial interest ? What
is the first- fait accompli, which at once obtrudes
• itself in answer b the question ?.. Why, the. _feet
that duties, amounting to prohibition, have been
posed on our ships and manufactures at all the ports
seized in Africa by the French. How many more ports
is she to be allowed to seize, with the effect of farther
exemplifying the same entente cordiale with our com-
merce ? We are far, however, from thinking the
immediate commercial question the main question
concerned. The question is, have we men at the
helm who have any idea of acting, when England ought
to act ? Mr. Manes thinks the time has arrived
when Christian civilisation must extend itself to Africa.
Good .words are ever commendable; and Christian
civilisation are very good words.. We may perhaps be
doubtful whether France is precisely the centre .of
-Christian civilisation ; or whether the conductors of the
razzias are precisely its apostles. On the whole, we
should like to have the -terms defined ; and as we often
talk of assisting that laudable object, we hope we shall
so contrive our c>-operation in. th.e Christian civilisation
of Africa, a; to take especial. tharg,e of the points bear
ing on our Mediterranean commerce and Indian empire!
STANDA Rl:).—Lord Beaumont's character, and his
conduct in Parliament, entitle him to the respect 'of
the public, and fairly claim a _favourable conaideration.
for whatever proposition he may make. We must, how-
ever, confess that - his Lordship's Bill in its
pal shape' altogether exhausts this demand upon our
candour and our disposition to be pleased.. • In its
first ferni • the Bill s would go a considerable
way towards the re-establishment of Roman-
ism in the United Kingdom. The Bill, in feet,
purposes to repeal whatever remains of about forty .
statutes, i:lcluding pretty nearly all the statutes now in
force for the protection of the Protestant Church, -and
the Protestant religion, against the aggressions of the
Church of Rome, not omitting even the " security
statute by which the law of 1829 was accompanied.
Such a Bill may no doubt be amended, but it can
be amended only by enormous curtailment. Practi-
cally, Roman Catholics are as free as any class of the
Queen's subjects ; and there can be no objection what-
ever to repeal in form, anti directly, those laws which
such practical freedom proves to have been repealed
either by desuetude or indirectly, as is the case of pro-
bably three,fourths of the-statutes recited in Lord Bean-
monee Bill. Lawyers will tell'us that the theory of the
English law, unlike that of the Roman law, allows
of no repeal of a law by desuetude ; but .0 e:
need not ge further than the Bill before us to
shore that, whatever the theory of the law,
the practice is to treat obsolete statutes as repealed.
Now, ae fir as Lord Beaumont's Bill can be made to re'
concile theory anti practice, in this respect it wig be net •
merely unolijectionelde but useful, for where there is e
multitade of 'awe upon a particular subject,. or. a par-
ticu'ar class of subjects, the majority of which
laves have Leen. suffered to sleep, or to die off front
lethargy; there is a perfect certainty that the rest
will he infected, and glide into the same • destiny.
This, however, is plainly not Lord Beaumont's view..
He wishes to have all the laws protecting the Pro-
testant rel7gioe and Truteetatit• Church repealed,
chiefly- .w;th .the porpteee of getting rid of such a,
are still operatiie aria still necessary. The 'amend-
ments which the Lord Chancellor has undertaken. to
• make will, however, we trust, be made in:not iiierely
a different, but in en opposite spirit.' The Noble
and Learntd Lord, the Chancellor of 1829, can„
for example, he zrarcely expected to' stultify
the Goveinritent- of which he was so diatinguishedo
Member fifteen vears ago, by proposing;s the repeal of
4.‘ the security" -Bill. On the other bend, he-may be ex-
pected to give snore freedom of operation and efAciericy.
to that law, by as4sting to remove " thech ad dr alee Ping
under whose weight it and some 'other' laiv
directed to the came end have, up to the present time,
been smothered. We will, however, withhold all ftirther
comments until w e shall see the amended Bill.
In the meantime we must protest against the assumption
of L rd Beaumont; that no Romanist cOnepiracy can
exist in our day. What is- the Repeal Association, if not
a Romanist conspiracy ? Surely not the lest a Romanist
conspiracy because a tew insane or self-Seeking
.indivi-
duals calling themselves Protestants are enrolled among
its members ; the very same thing having happened
in the case of all the conspiracies against Elizabeth.
What is the Ribbon Society but a Romanist conspiracy,
when its first obligation is one of fidelity to the Church
of Rome ? Lord Beaumont is himself an honourable
proof that a Roman Catholic can hold apart from and dis-
countenance sech conspiracies ; but were there not many
such illustrious proofs in the reign of Elizabeth, in which,
as his Lordship admits, such conspiracies existed ?
Lord Howard of Effingham, w hose name is early made.
known to every schoolboy, and gratefully remembered
by every nglishman,
was, like Lord Beaumont, a Ro-
manE Catholic, and many Roman Catholics as brave and
as loyal, if not as distingushod, as the great Admiral,
