Opposition with credit to himself or advantage to the
country. Nature never intended the Noble Lord to
play any prominent part on the stage of political life.
He is at a crisis like the present intellectually, as well
as physically, unfit for the leadership of a powerful
party. When the Tories were prostrate and almost
extinguished as a party by the heavy blow which the
Reform Bill, immediately on its passing, gave them,
the leadership of a person of Lord John's calibre
might have been tolerated ; but the moment that a re-
action had commenced, and every successive 'week
saw the Tories swelling their minority of 150, it was
high time that the Whig Lordling should be uncere-
moniously thrown overboard, and a person chosen to
succeed him, who, in addition to moral courage, supe-
rior talents as a debater, and enlarged views as a
statesman, should possess a strong sympathy with the
people—one, moreover, who, instead of lagging be-
hind the spirit of the age, should be prepared to lead
the nation, as well as the Liberals in Parliament, in
the onward road to further and far more extensive
reforms."
