The Leicestershire Mercury contains some disclosures
respecting the receipt of money from Tory agents by
certain Chartists for political purposes, which need no
explanation. A Mr. Markham, one of the parties im-
plicated, confesses to having received money for his
services at the Nottingham election, from a leading Tory,
and confidential friend of the Duke of Rutland ; and
Mr. Cooper, another Chartist, states, that at the con-
clusion of an Anti-Corn-law meeting in the market-place
of Leicester, he received from " a Conservative gentle-
man" the sum of twelve pounds, ten shillings, every farthing
of which he paid to the working-men for the services they
rendered, on that day. Truly these are edifying disclo-
sures, but they reflect far more disgrace on the wealthy
and unscrupulous Tories, who offered the bribe, than on
the poor working-men whose necessities tempted them
to accept it. Not that these last are to be held justified
for what they did ; far otherwise ; their conduct deserves
to be severely reprobated ; but, after all, it may. be con-
sidered venial, compared with that of the Tories, who
had no stern, stringent necessities to plead in excuse for
their behaviour ; and who were quite shrewd and enlight-
ened enough to foresee its demoralizing consequencep.
We consider a genuine Tory, in his political capacity,
as the most unmitigated rogue in existence. Not only_
is he deficient in public principle himself, but he seems
actually incapable of appreciating its value in others.
In fact, he appears to be wholly destitute of what may be
called the moral sense. To , promote his own party in-
terests, he will not hesitate to sacrifice—as in the
flagrant instance before us—the peace, the self-
respect, the happiness, and the integrity of hundreds
of his poorer fellow-countrymen. , And yet when a
question of bribery is brought before Parliament,
who is so loud in his denunciation of it, as your
thorough-going Tory ? Who so shocked at the flagrant
character of the crime ? Who so forward to suggest
measures to prevent its recurrence ? In a word, who
combines the most drivelling cant with the most
un-
blushing effrontery in so disgusting a manner, whenevt r
circumstances compel him to deliver an opinion on the
subject of bribery and corruption ? There are Metho-
dists in politics as well as in religion, and we consider a
Tory to be a political Methodist of the first water.
