LORD PALMERSTON,

(From the Cork Constitution.)
" We are glad to perceive (says a Liverpool liberal paper)
that Lord Palmerston is taking a most prominent and active
part in the opposition to the tory ministry."
Glad to perceive ! Why what. elsewas to be expected ?
With all his indifference to principles, he cannot adjust
himself to places with the easy equanimity of Lord Mel-
bourne. Salary no whig, ancient or juvenile," likes to
lose, and though it were wiser to repress any manifestations
of disappointment, allowance must be made for a man in
whose official achievments wisdom seem,s, to have had any-
thing but a " prominent and active part . The opposition
of Lord Palmerston is thus naturally
.accounted for ; but it
would be more prudent were his admirers to suffer him to
sink silently into forgetfulness. There are few men who can
gain less by retrospects. His opposition " speaks more
for his sensitiveness than for his consistency. There is
scarcely a measure of " the tory ministry " of which he has
not been at one time or other the supporter ; and had he
been fortunate enough to attract attention in the late arrange-
ments, he would be neither " active " nor " prominent " in
" opposition" now. Poor protocol ! he slumbered long on
the sunny side of the hedge, and finding it hard to content
himself with the cold and comfortless shade into which he
has been cast, lie is endeavouring to obtain a little warmth by
the unsual activity he has of late displayed. If he confined
it to the limbs (and he is about, it seems, to "tour " it
through Ireland) we could have no objection ; but the tongue
" is an unruly evil,"
and needs a check. His censures of
others are condemnations of himself.
