licentious principles, he and the patriotic band
of friends who discerned the peril to which
we were exposed, quitted the ranks of Opposi-
tion in order to strengthen the hands of Govern-
ment. And why does he now desert the latter to
strengthen the helots of its bitterest opponents
and revilers. That the dismissal of Earl Fitz-
william will be considered by many as a strong
measure we entertain no doubt ; but by all who
rightly appreciate the value of those institutions,
which have so long distinguished this country be-
yond all others, and who regard with meri:ed
ab-
horrence the insidious efforts now exerted to
overthrow them, this event will he viewed as
one of the most imperious necessity. For it can-
not be denied, that the eff:ct of his Lordship's
giving countenance to the Meeting, the Reso-
lutions of which eonveyud a strong censure
against the Government tinder which he held
hit office, most inevitably have been to en-
courage a perseverance iu those very proceed-
ings, which his official station should have led
him to suppress by every means int his power. in
fact, (tinier all the circumstances of the case, Mi-
nisters could not have acted otherwise ; and more-
over, all those members of the opposition, who
have recorded their disapprobation of meetings
like the one which his Lordship patronized, have
thus virtually pronounced their coincidence with
his Majesty's Mitlissters in the course which they
have taken. The subject may, perhaps, be illus-
trated by the tollowiug comparison: Suppose any
of those that censure this measure to be engaged
in extensive mercantile concerns, requiring a mill-
tiplicity of workmen in various branches of ma-
nufacture, what course would the principals pur-
sue, if their superintendent, possessing their con-
fidence, and ittvested with extensive authority,
should betray the interests ot his employers by
taking part with the men, when they chose to
neglect their word;, or to strike for an advance of
wages, instead of remonstrating with them; and
exerting his authority and influence to bring them
back to their duty ? The principals would surely
think themselves frillyjustified in discharging him,
and especially so, it he was known to have fo-
mented the discontent ot the men by reflections
upon his masters; who would he looked upon
by all their neighbours as chargeable with the
grossest tolly, if they still retanied him in their
service after such conduct.
