FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT.

MONDAY MORNING•
ONE of the dearest chartered liberties of Englishmen is

the license to abuse their governors—the right to grumble,
to criticise, and cast hard words at the men in authority.
They pay them their stipulated salaries, and therefore
they assume that they have an equitable as well as a legal

right to

blow them up ;" and, in short, to treat them
according to their humour. Her MAJESTY'S present
Ministers have no reason to complain of the conduct of
Her MAJESTY'S people throughout the united kingdom.
I cannot call to mind an Administration against which so
little opprobrium has been uttered by the public in their
assemblies—one towards whom the popular bodies have

shown greater respect and moderation, than the existing
one. They promised to give Lord DERBY'S Government
a fair trial, and they have kept their promise religiously.
But, if the people have been remarkably considerate, re-
spectful, and well-behaved, the people's organs—that is,
the half dozen trumpetters who usurp the office of pro.
claiming the vox populi—have been unprecedentedly ma-
lignant, scurrilous, and ruffianly. Stung to the quick at
finding the multitudes quiescent and disposed to wait, in
order to judge the Government according to its intrinsic
merits, the several Opposition factions have become
frightened and furious, and have given instructions to
their mouthpieces, the aforementioned journals, to dis-
charge at it incessant volumes of vituperation, and to
keep up a constant fire of slanders, of lies, and of foul
language at its members, individually and collectively.
The journals have obeyed their orders with a zeal which
demonstrates that they take delight in such work.
Generally speaking, the inventive faculty is not strong in
this foggy clime of ours, but this command to sing dirt
At the Administration has wonderfully quickened any little
imagination which the roarers in democratic newspapers
possess. This mode of proceeding has been reduced by
practice to a kind of system. One insinuates that an
intention exists to have recourse to some dishonourable
trick or paltry expedient ; the other takes it up, changes
the insinuation into a well-founded rumour, and opens a
battery of abuse on the assumed perpetrators of the
supposed intention ; a third audaciously declares that it
knew all about the design long before it was disclosed to
the public ear, and then peppers away with might and main,
treating the monstrous fabrication as an established fact.
Instantly the whole pack take up the note and disgorge
their vile railings, night and morning, with still accumu-
Aess and venom. It does not signify to them
whether their falsehoods be flatly contradicted or not

g bitternes

they go repeating their slanders with the most brazen-
faced assurance—and ignoring the contradiction—their
principle of action being, that, if dirt be flung thickly and

without intermission, some c

t must stick, somewhere,

and at some time, and if so their object may be attained.
It would be a waste of time to enumerate the several
fables that have been thus circulated since the elections.
No sooner had the ridiculous conceit about the revival of
Convocation—the gigantic lie of last week—been exploded,
