Brougham, after mentioning the Right Hon. Gentle-
man's solemn appeal to Heaven, that he had con-
sulted with no one when he came to the famous re-
solution of the 29th of November, put it to him to
say, whether he would add that no one had consulted
with him. What said Mr. Herries to this ? Surely,
when his own character was so deeply at stake, no
petty punctilio should have interfered to prevent him
from giving an answer to a plain question ! Had he
been indignant at the, base suspicion which such a
question might have seemed to insinuate—although
all intention of any improper insinuation was So-
lemnly disclaimed—we could have easily excused
his anger, hut he showed no symptoms of such
indignation; he contented himself with objecting
to Mr: 'Brougham's right to put the question.—
It is granted he had none-;-no one has such a
right—but what is that to the purpose ? Although
Mr. Herries will not make any farther communica-
tions he is quite willing that others should. Those,
he says, who know about the. operative causes—
that is, the plot—should tell all about them. But
the Right Honourable Gentleman forgets that every
one on whom it has been put to explain it, except
himself, has denied that there was any plot at, all.—
Mr. Tierney, Lord Goderich, Mr. Bourne, the
Marquis of Lansdowne, Mr. Wynn, all who have
spoken on the subject declare that but from the
Right Hon. Gentleman they never heard it. The
Master of the Mint would follow the rules of the
inquisition with those whom he has accused. When
any poor wretch is brought before that gloothy tri-
bunal, the first •question asked of him is, " What are
you eat); of ?" So, Mr. Herries, having dragged
Lord Goderich before the bar of the country, instead
of adducing his proofs, calls on his Lordship to de-
clare to the public the mysteries of the plot—who
formed the plot—where the plot was hidden-.what
were the objects of the plot ? It is in vain that
Lord Goderich declares he knows of no plot, and
calls on his aqcuser to throw some light on the sub-
ject. No, says Mr. Herries," I will make no farther
explanations." Now, really this is not that sort of
conduct which the public and those honourable men
have a right to expect from the Master ofthe Mint.We
would give every latitude to political warfaie, but it
is inconsistent even with its laser laws to charge
men with a great offence, and when challenged to
the proof, to refuse either to bring forward the evi-
dence in the accuser's possession, or to retract the
accusation, which he dare not attempt to establish.
We have put.it already, we would put it again, to
• Mr. Herries' good sense and candour, whether the
course he is pursuing be consistent with either ?
whether, if he have hazarded an assertion hastily
and unwarrantably, the•best and only atonement he
can make be not frankly to confess it; and if he
have real and solid grounds for what helms said, if
it be not due to himself, to his Sovereign, and to
Parliament, manfully, and at once, to bring them
forward ? If he persist in his silence, -we rather
think that more than one will adopt the blunt but
honest language made 'use of by Sir Joseph Yorke
last night :—" It does appear to me, Sir, (said Sir
Joseph, addressing the Chair) that the Cabinet was
broken up by a little jealous struggle between two
of its Members ; and I can only say, that if my
Right Hoi. Friend (Mr. Herries) was the party
who broke up the last. Cabinet, and who means to
explode the present, by :such another cabal, the
sooner the Duke of Wellington turns him out the
better."—New Times.
