1•• • • We can easily believe that this is possible, as we also believe
that we 'night add to the list of couservative successes, if we

- 20 But this has not been in our power, and we must therefore be
content with offering to our readers as full and as accurate an
••• • ••• • ••• account as we have been able to prepare, and that by a very
462 19E 264 laborious search through a large proportion of the provincial
journals.
~..

211, 52 course, must be out the question. This was well-shown in the
Middlesex case. We first published a statement of the objec• .••• • • • • •• • • tions taken and sustained, giving a clear majority to the con-
-198 7; 121 servatives of about 200 on this point only, " Ay," " but," said
the radical editors, " you tell us nothing ahout the claims; and .• •••••• • • • • this is of far more importance." We then replied, that out of IS • 5 •
10 6000 new claimants, in the last two years, nearly 4000 were
known to be conservatives. "But what does, that matter?" Said
. • •
388 •• • • • • •

139 register them, how can you answer for it that they will be con-
servatives when the election comes r To such reasoning as this

'l'2 But we must add one word to the conservatives generally,
The foregoing list will show very clearly. that wherever any
well-directed efforts are made, their success to the conservative
cause is almost sure to. follow. Why then,' we ask, are there
districts of England in which the friends of the monarchy ale •
still supine ? Why do we hear nothing of Sussex, South 'Dur-
ham, North Wilts, North Hants, and several other counties?
Let this question he seriously taken to heat by the gentlemen
of those districts. Let England be aroused as one man , against
the O'Connell tyranny.

8 31 58 constable of Darlaston, charged with attempting to cut his wife's
24 18 6 throat on the preceding night. The prisoner is a shoemaker.
Jaines Donaldson, a lodger in his house, stated, that soon after
he had gone to bed he was suddenly awoke by his brother, who
••• 4 ...„ desired him to get up, for there was some dangerous work going
•
on in the next room. He bounced out of bed, and instantly
went into the next cdamber, front whence a low groaning noise
proceeded I ' There he found the prisoner kneeling on his wife,

48 2. 27 in his hand. (The knife, which was covered with dried blood,
was produced; it was one such as shoeutak ers use, and seemingly

63 30 33 but he made no reply. The woman went down stairs. She was
25 12 13 dreadfully cut across the face on both sides of the mouth, and
her hands were severely cut. (It was supposed she received

FRIDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 16, 1836,

Some subtlety is displayed in the perpetration of every
.56 252
..........2104 crime—some palliative circumstance, upon which the de-
-1 linqirent may fall back when pressed home with guilt—
some "contingent remainder," where the fee of honesty
is first not alienated—some "if you said so" to shelter
it—all of which add to the malignancy of offence—and
it is in this way that corporation foxes have endeavoured
to have one hole by which they can enter the municipal
• •••• •24' ••• -,

••it • •1-•3 prosperity or destruction of Liverpool to their private
conferoces 7 Impossible ! We cannot be sunk so low
!in apathy—we cannot be so fallen from prudence—poli-
tical madness cannot vet have brought us to this ! To this?
Aye, more. Let us proceed. Mr. R. says, "they did
agree, certainly, among themselves." Liberal. exam-
' pie of liberal principles! "Among themselves!" Not
one dissentient was there—each bad regularly passed
through the municipal sieve—the current of radicalism
ran smoothly—it met with no obstacle.
Why these forty members might have come to any
conclusion they pleased upon any question they -chose to
entertain. They might have lighted the lamps of Liver-
pool at noon in the dog-days, or have voted the Bible a
superfluous book in moral education at the national
schools, for they were screened by walls which prying
curiosity could not penetrate ; and however adverse such
measures, or others like them, might be to the welfare of
the town—however subversive of sound principles, po-
licy, and good--if these forty men had but "agreed,"
each stood Exonerated of all personal responsibility ; for
the overture would only need to be proposed at a meeting
of the Town Council, and SILENT VOTES be given, and
the act would become the act of a corporation in which
individuality is always lost.
Oh, Mr. U., you have proved a blessed traitor to the
municipal conspiracy. • Surely you slept at the late meet-
ing of the Town Council, and this which you divulged
was. in a dream. But we will neither garble nor abridge
your golden sentences—they ought to be printed in let-
ters a foot high, and circulated throughout every town of
the kingdom. Mr. 11, subjoined—" if we saw nothing
better transpire for the community, we did agree to sup-
port that list." What means this macula upon the mid-
day sun of Alr.R.'s confession ?—what "better" thing was
so toc
likely to be born than that which sprung from the men-
tal loins of radicalism?....-what babe
rished as their,owa- PirsPring ? Bes oide likely
they
Jews n
aonu,.
Samaritans have no dealingS with each other. " Can
any thing good," say these forty—we had almost com-
mitted ourselves, though we are not now play-going
folks—councillors, " come out of conservative Naza-
reth ?" Oh no ! the roost monstrous birth of radicalism
would he preferred before it. We put it to the plain
sense of Liverpool, whether there was a shade of proba-
bility that any name not found upon that " angel" list
would be approved by the Town Council ? We appeal to
the•same plain sense, and ask, whether they are willing
to commit all the business of the corporation to these
forty radicals, to be conducted in the same way ? We
think not.
But Mr. U. disclaims the imputagon that he came
"bound hand and foot" to the Council-chamber. Why,
so did Casio that he was drunk; and both have left evi-
dence against themselves of unqualified guilt. We say,
that every one of the forty came bound " hand and foot"
—morally bound to a particular act in the Town Coun-
cil- How would Mr. R. have looked any one of his forty
colleagues in the. face ?—how would they have stared at
each other, if such an one had offered comment upon, or
objection to, any single name on that list ?—and would not
such a colleague have felt that lie was violating an en-
gagement ? We unhesitatingly affirm, that men who
could meet for so sinistrous, so dishonourable a purpose,
would'bind themselves to the issue: It we.,;are asked for
Pr 96/.• we. prcduce the issue itself; .t,lpiarfend the exe-
