Two thirds of these noblemen are avowed ene-
mies of all reform ! We see a father and son, Lord
Powis and Lord Clive, the rulers of nearly a hun-
dred miles of England and Wales. Lord War-
wick, the head of his county (which returned its
six members to Parliament all pledged advocates
for the Bill,) signs a declaration against it, and con-
tinues the omnipotent disposer of all the county
patronage contingent on the Lieutenancy ? Earl
Talbot, in the same station and opposition in Staf-
fordshire, we have before had occasion to Blade
to. The Duke of Northumberland is dominant in
the county of the Premier, and the most active,
though silent, opponent of Ministry! Lord
Lonsdale, like a German Prince, reigns powerful
in Westmoreland, • .ere Lord Brougham, the
fountain of the Magistracy, is powerless and de-
fied ! The Duke of Rutland, defeated in Lei-
cestershire, with the sanction of ministers punishes
his political opponents. Lord Westmorland rules
the county of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.—
The Marquess of Exeter in Rutland l In Scotland
the picture is much the same, Toryism rampant
and paramount in an eminent degree. The follow-
ing are the Lord Lieutenants across the Tweed :

In Ireland, the Government, by the introduction
of a municipal system of most doubtful policy, but
of undoubted imperfection, has the opportunity of
appointing to the intended Lieutenancy noblemen
and gentlemen of enlightened patriotism, and
where non-residence, we trust, will be an insuper-
able objection. But ministers must " take the
bull by the horns," to use a vulgar, but homely
phrase. A crisis is approaching in dr fate and
in the destinies of the nation. "He that is not
for me is against me." The legitimate power of
the Premier must be boldly and magnanimously
used. A majority in the House of Lords can only
be achieved by the most decided and courageous
course. We will further remind Lord Grey, that
the Reform Bill, if passed by the pressure of pub-
lic opinion, will, nevertheless, expose him to the
certain and vindictive future opposition of the Tory
party. To punish him, but above all, to defeat
the ends of Reform, will be the combined and
le-united plot of the Anti-Reform Aristocracy.—
Lord Grey's Adwinistation can only stand on the
foundation of the people. The Whig party as a
, country party, is extinct. The magic nick-
! names of faction and family intrigues have passed.
away. No more management of the House of
Commons. The rising generation of all ranks are
illuminated, and are rescued from the delusions of
prejudice and ignorance. The curtain of liberty
in Europe is but just rising from the stage, and the
sun of freedout as yet dawns only on the edge of
the horizon. Lord Grey must go on ; he must fill
every office under the influence of Government
with men attached to his principles. Those who
have disinterestedly and generously sacsificed their
worldly interests to independence and patriotism,
in the forlorn days of Toryism especially, have a
light to participate in the fruits of arduous and
generous public exertions. Public opinion has
called Lord (irey to his present responsible and
merited power from respect for a long life of poli-
tical wisdom and integrity; let him deal out the
Beale measure of grateful justice to those who,
fighting by his side, have promoted his reward,
and let not the black stain rest on his Premiership,
that he who was not indifferent to provision for
his own family was yet insensible to the claims
of the friends of liberty, who placed him in power.
We could say much more on this subject, and
state many astounding facts which have been
communicated to us, but we shall by this time be
fully understood, and we repeat, that justice,
policy, self-preservation, the vital interests of the
country, demand from the Ministry more confi-
dence and trust in their real friends, with less fear
and deference for their enemies and double-faced
partisans. Why should Ministers fear the Peers ?
They may and must dilute the opposition of the
Lords with a yet more copious addition to their
numbers. Lord Grey has to manage them after
the reform bill is carried ! Let him publicly avow
that all those not with him must retire from office;
we know of old what a small proportion would
avail themselves of the privilege of retirement.
But it is intolerable to witness the undisguised
opposition of the Tory possessors of the Magistracy
and Lieutenancy of the country, who are not only
undermining the Government of the King, but
re-constructing their old and base domination.
The effect of this absurd toleration and truckling
