THE CABAL.

(From the Dublin Patriot.)

The subterfuges resorted to by the Cabal since
the frustated conspiracy against the King, are just
in keeping with the spirit which instigated the con-
spiracy. Deserted by all that overwhelming portion
of the British press which faithfully reflects public
opinion, after having reviled that press as corrupt
and venal, and defied its power, the conspirators
have now established several new papers in London,
under their own special controul and patronage, in
order to influence that very public sentiment they
have outraged, through the medium, too, of that
very engine- they have reviled. Never was there,
in the history of parties, one whose iniquity was
rendered so palpable, even by their own showing.
The most unblushing falsehoods stain the very first
numbers of the new papers—the most sicken-
ing cajolery to the King, and the basest per-
sonal hostility to his 'Ministers. But the at-
tempt, by reviving every expression of hos-
tility, at any former period, between any members
of the present Cabinet, when politically op-
posed, in order to sow dissension among its
Members now, is truly amusing. It is also strik-
ingly illustrative Of the opinion entertained of the
seceders themselves, when the very horror of their
return to power, can; of itself, thus unite otherwise
discordant elements. We find persons of various
sects and denominations uniting against Popery. We
find nations who have their mutual differences unit-
ing against some rapacious destroyer. We find the
members of even a disunited family join in repelling
the depredations of the midnight robber. Why not
then public men, even with minor differences, unite
in a holy league to keep out of power one of the
most 'mischievous and malignant factions that ever
threatened any country with the visitation of its
pestilential sway ? This is sufficient to form a righ-
teous principle of union.between the good and great,
even were there not, which there are, other essen-
tial principles of public liberty and happiness in
common between them, upon which they are cor-
dially united.

TREACHERY OF MR. PEEL TO MR. CANNING.

But it is said by the faction, 'Mr. Canning gained
his present station by treachery and intrigue. Yes,
he did. But it was by the treachery of his enemies,
not his ! His genius, his experience, his high name
—made the King and the Nation, with one simulta-
neous voice, call him to the station of Premier. But
it was the treachery of his foes conspiring to remove
him, and overshooting the mark—it was this which
now enables him to fill that high station unfettered
by their imbecility and baseness—to fill it with
power, and upon principles which renders his genius
at last fully available for the service of his country.
How dare the guilty become accusers ? Mr. Can-
ning was not the treacherous party—he was himself
lieset with treachery, and had manliness, vigour, po-
pularity, dexterity—aye, honest dexterity enough, to
defeat the machinations of the treacherous.

Can any man of common discernment glance at
the facts, and not see that he foiled an intrigue, in-
stead of conducting one ? When we speak of these
treacherous intriguers and incapables, we would
always be understood not to wish to include among
them the Duke of Wellington and Mr. Peel. The
Duke's services are too eminent ever to be forgotten
by good citizens ; beside, there appeared upon his
part in the late affair some misconception of per-
sonal . disrespect, which time may remove. Mr.
Peel, too, for whom we have still much habitual
respect, we would willingly separate from the vile
and desperate gang of " brutes and bigo(S," fbr we
like to call things by their proper names ; and if,
indeed, we cannot entirely separate him, it is his .
fault, not ours. We repeat, we have considerable
respect, even yet, for Mr. Peel, but it is a respect
inspired by the qualifications he has, not by those
which he has not. He hag respectable, but he has
not eminent talents. Were lie, for instance, at the
Irish Bar, his abilities would not place him higher
than, from the eighth to the tenth man of the pro-
fession at this moment. Were he a member of
the Catholic Association even, he could be but
about the fifth speaker there ; and as a Member of
the British Senate, he is incaculably inferior in
calibre to many, who, notwithstanding, do not oc-
cupy nearly so influential a political station. Why,
is it asked, does he occupy a station so much
higher than his rank of mind ? We shall explain
the anomaly. We must recall the period when Mr.
Peel first entered actively into political life. Per-
cival had just fallen, and intolerance lost in him
much logical acumen, a debater, but not a States-
man. Duigenan was no more, and humanity had
one creature less to blush for. Dispirited, degraded.
deprived of all partisans of ability, but still teeming
with all the purposes of malevolence, the faction
sought for a leader; and he who had not head to
form for himself a party, became the leader of a party
who were without a head. Then it was Mr. Peel be-
came of political consequence---•and received the ru-
diments of hie migiterial edUcation in the worst
and most perverted school. NAs Secretary for Ire-
land he became the idol of thi aminant party. At
once in communion with the surviving shooters,
burners, and floggers of 98—that remnant whom
conscience had not yet destroyed, or debauchery to
blunt the stings of conscience—what expanded or
statesmanlike sentiments could he imbibe ? No; he
came without knowledge of the science of Govern-
ment, and was placed in circumstances in which he
could not be instructed, because the story of national
calamity was told him by those who inflicted, and
not those who sufered. This is the history of the
station taken early by Mr. Peel in public life—this
is the cause why he is elevated by a party, and why
he has fallen as a statesman.

This much was necessary to show what relation
Mr. Peel bears to the party who have resigned, pre-
liminary to comprehending_ how far he may be con-
sidered implicated in the:; in Mr. Canning has
disconcerted by his spirit and vigour. Mr. Peel has
declared his cordial union with all Mr. Canning's
sentiments but the one; he has also emphatically
expressed his total indifference to office.--Well, we
shall believe him, and if so, the circumstances which
would otherwise have palpably connected him with
a long and deep laid intrigue to remove Mr. Canning,
must have been the work of his partizans, who,
without letting him into the secret, relied upon the
weight of his name, mid he was destined to share in
the fruits of an intrigue in which he was not per-
mitted to participate.
The rock upon which several administrations had
been wrecked, and upon which alone there could
have been any rational hope of depriving Mr. Can-
ping of his natural station as Premier, was the
Catholic Question. Mr. Peel said he never encou-
raged petitions or. any popular excitement upon this
'topic. Be it so. But let us compare this subse-
quent declaration with the previous conduct of his
partizans, and immediate connections. We find his
brother-in-law, Mr. G. Dawson,
actively employed
last summer in acting that very part, subsequently
condemned by Mr. Peel. We find the Under Se-
cretary issuing from the office of the Home Minister,
whe is responsible for, the peace .of the country—
we find this Under Secretary, the brother-in-law of
Mr. Peel, proceeding upon a crusade of disturbance
through the country, unreprovea by the personage

!to whom he was officially- responsible. We
find him 'stirring up every interested incendiary
and senSeless zealot, and using language never
surpassed in violence • by the Catholic Associa-
tion, without his having the same excuses for
political he3t. We find him, too, in correspondence
with the press, which was notorious for reviling
Lord Wellesley, and that portion of the British Mi-
nistry peculiarly attached to Mr. Canning, the col-
league of Mr. Peel. The ribald press is able still to
exhibit letters from Mr. G. Dawson, containing
marked expressions of approbation, and excitement
to that press to proceed in its useful career ! To
proceed in what ? In reviling Lord 'Wellesley and
Mr. Canning. The Under-Secretary of State issues
from the Home Office—Mr. Dawson, a person in
Offie, connected with one of the Ministers, writes let-
ters of encouragement to a Paper, the enemy of that
Minister's colleagues, to proceed in libelling that
portion with which he at the same time acts in ap-
parent cordiality !! ! These letters are in existence
—they have be en shewn to hundreds. Mr. Canning
must have known of them, and it requires something
more than " my Honourable Friend, my dear and
Right Honourable Friend," to convince him or any
man, that there was not treachery on foot.
But Mr. Canning ought to have disclosed, it
seems, his offers of support, to his treacherous col-
leagues, in order, no doubt, to assist them in pro-
secuting successfully their intrigue against himself.
No, it was enough for honour and fairness, that Mr.
Canning did not endeavour to put them out, in re-
turn. His part was to accept the station offered hin,
by his Sovereign, and faithfully endeavour to form
an Administration constituted upon the principles
agreed upon.. He did so. His former colleagues
then resigned, and was it for him to despise and re-
ject the nomination of the King and the voice of the
nation, and permit the principle to be established
in his person, that a conscientious opinion upon a
certain measure, practically disqualifies a man from
holding the highest office in the State ? Mr. Can-
ning was placed in his present station by the King,
in accordance with the voice of his people—the
plenitude of the authority he possesses—he owes
to the hatred of his enemies, counteracting, by an
ill-tempered display of violence, the very purposes
which they had at heart. They first sought to cir-
cumvent him—then to overthrow him—treachery
counteracted its own machinations ; and they made
of him the powerful Minister he is. Manliness,
character, an eye that could not be deceived by
treachery—a spirit that could not brook degrada-
tion—this only was " the witchcraft" Mr. Can-
ning used.—Dublin Patriot.
