FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 2, 1841

It was a great acquisition to the Polish wheat and
cheap bread men to have the name of a Peer as a
patron of their favourite project. We have most of us
seen a letter from the Earl Fitzwilliam, advocating the
policy of these gentlemen. The Manchester fraternity
took good care that we should see it, as they had it
printed on a broad sheet, and thrust it into every body's
handlike the advertisement of a quack doctor, at the
time of their descent upon this town. In this way a
copy of the noble lord's epistle came into our pos-
session. We were induced to look it over, but a more
flimsy and contemptible production, in point of argu-
ment, it never was our lot to dip into, and nothing muld
be more plain than that it was not the argument, but
the authority, that was valuable in the eyes of the " dic-
tation." It was a grand thing to have a land-owner
and one of the hereditary countenancing the views of
the Anti-Corn-Law league, and the noble lord's letter
was circulated freely at the• expense of the club, just to
familiarize the community with the fact. Now we
know not what weight some persons may attach to the
mere name of Lord Fitzwilliam ; but, for our part, we
estimate it at a very small price. He is a Whig and a
Liberal, and a Liberal in.religion as well as corn. Now
just take a specimen of his doings in the former ca-
pacity, furnished to us by the Dublin papers of last
week.

His lordship possesses large estates in the county
Wicklow, and almost the entire of the parish of Car-
new, of which the Rev. Mr. Moore is rector, belongs
to him. There is a school-house in the parish which
was built by an ancestor of his lordship ; but the school
being of late conducted on that new and enlightened
I system which Whigs delight in encouraging, and which
refuses to inculcate any particular form or creed in
religion, the Protestant parishioners did not like send-
ing their children there, and craved of his lordship a
piece of ground whereon they might erect a school-
house for themselves, in which, of course, the Bible
might be permitted and instruction given in accord-
ance with their non-liberal Church of England preju-
dices. But his lordship, like a genuine Liberal (who
is generally a tyrant in his own domain), refused. No
ground would he give to such parties. If they would
not send their children to his liberal, latitudinarian
anything-arian school, they should have no other.
Well, Lord Fitzwilliam had a right to do as he pleased
with his own. We quarrel not with him on that head ;
but mark the sequel. Mr. Moore, the rector, finding
that there was no ground to be got from Lord Fitz-
william, nor any elsewhere more suitable for the pur-
pose, commenced building on part of the churchyard,
comprising a space 64 feet by 30. This he did at the
request of 177 heads of Protestant families out of 202
contained in the parish, and with the consent of the
Ordinary. The Liberal Lord immediately took fire at
this defiance of his will and pleasure; and, resolved to
convince the world of the mild and tolerant character
of Liberalism, filed a bill in Chancery for the purpose
of having the rector restrained from proceeding with
the building. The matter came for hearing before the
Master of the Rolls, in Ireland, and the noble lord's
bill was dismissed—the learned Judge, on giving
judgment, being forced to observe, that "he could con-
" ceive no more odious tyranny than the tyranny at-
" tempted in the case before the court—an attempt to
"force persons to act contrary to their consciences, or
" to debar them any education at all unless they and
" their spiritual guide acted in violation of their religi-

" ous feelings."

This is a specimen of his lordship's liberalism in

religion ; and it is no bad sample of the true character
and spirit of the system. Professing universal tolera-
tion, and indifferentism towards all sects, it sets up
latitudinarianism as its standard ; but once established,
does it practically act upon the grand article of its own
creed ? Not in the least. Once established, it insists

upon a monopoly in its owia way as rigorously and
sternly as Popery itself. It will then bear no rival near
its throne. It becomes intolerant, tyrannical, and per-
secuting; and all who will not worship at its shrine
are made to feel the bitter fruits of its supremacy.
So much for the free-trade peer in the article of
religion. With regard to his Liberalism in corn, we
look upon it as quite a safe speculation. It was an easy
way to gain a little popularity, and there was but little
fear of the project being realised : he could take such
liberties with his order and his class, well knowing that
both would be secure against his indiscretions. On
the whole, we see nothing to boast of in such an
authority, and we shall cheerfully permit the free-trade
folk to enjoy a monopoly in it.

Sir Robert Peel has much reason to congratulate
himself upon his foresight with regard to the reform
bill, and the sound advice he gave touching the best
mode of counteracting its intended operation. In his
nominationspeech
alluded to thesubject; ontheehustings at Tam
but it
orth,on
Monday, he briefly is
one which others will gladly dwell upon. With that
unerring sagacity which characterises the mind of a
great statesman, the right honourable gentleman for-
saw that the time would come when the reformers
would have little cause to exult in their own work, and
be as unwilling to regard it as a final measure, as the
Tories themselves had been to assent to it in the first in-
stance. His dictum on the occasion was, that the battle of
the constitution must be fought at the registries. The
battle has since been fought at the registries, and now
we may fairly say that it is won. The reform bill, as
the right honourable baronet has so well observed, ex-
tended the basis and widened the foundaaNt,ieondsonoof tshoe

but it replied to e
the call. We look back upon the reform bill as a
wild, a rash, a most dangerous experiment. If it were
to be done again, we should deprecate it as much as
now, with all our experience, as we did whilst it was
yet in the womb of time ; but the, evil has been over-
ruled for good—the end is better than the beginning:
The reform bill gave a wide extension of enfranchise-

ment to the people,

and the conacquent danger was,

that the people might use their newly acquired liberty
injuriously to the constitution. That was the danger.
Sir R. Peel is, we are sure, no enemy to popular li-

berty no enlightened statesman can be so. If the
people be prepared foi it, their enfranchisement is the

strength of the Conservative principle, and we care

not how much they are enfranchised. The authors of
the reform bill did not calculate on the extent and the

strength of the Conservative principle in the people of
England, and their own weapon is now wielded with

irresistible power against them. Conservatism, taking
the hint of Sir Robert Peel, soon made large acquisi-
tions at the registries, and now it is striking the deci-
sive blow at the elections. This is a cheering spectacle
to every true lover of England and her institutions. It
is a very glorious triumph. 'We dwell upon it with
unmingled satisfaction. It is like daybreak after a
long night—like sunshine and calm after gloom and
tempest; but there is one point, and it is, in our mind,
a most material one, to which the right honourable ba-
ronet does not advert ; it is, as to what constitutes the
essential element of Conservatism ? It is good Con-
servative practice to vote for Sir Robert Peel at Tam-
worth, Lord Sandon and Mr. Cresswell at Liverpool,
and so on ; it is highly proper, right, and Conservative
to protect the English farmer, the English shipowner,
the British colonist, and so forth ; but these are fruits

and results—excellent in their kind—of a principle. We
ask, what is that principle, or that which is most impor-
tant to it ? The answer is religion. Without the religious
principle, there is no security, no stability, scarcely even
vitality in Conservatism. This is a position which we
cannot too often advert to. We have no doubt but
that so just a thinker as Sir Robert Peel must conceive
that it is one of very great moment, though he scarcely
adverts to it in the speech to which we now allude.
We wish we could persuade ourselves that he esteems
it of that very high degree of consequence at which
we certainly presume to think it is worthy of being
estimated even in a political point of view. We re-
gard it as the palladium of the British constitution,
and, therefore, as something whose preservation is of
paramount importance. The reform bill widened the
foundations ; but it was the renovating—redeeming—
salvatory religious principle which went in and built.
A reform bill widened the foundations of the constitu-
tion in Ireland as well as in England ; but what went
in there ? A religious principle certainly, but, unfor-
tunately, not the religious principle of the state, but its
great antagonist, and there, in consequence, Con-
servatism has made no rally ; there democracy has
gained all—the constitution has sustained so much
pure loss, and recovered nothing back; there was no
Protestantism, no Church of Englandism there, pro-
portionat6 to the demand, to go in and occupy, and
reform became revolution. With the most profound
respect for every opinion enounced by Sir R. Peel, we
do say—and in so saying we should rather hope for
his concurrence—that it is vain to think of rightly
administering the affairs of this country irrespectively
of the religious principle. See what consequences
follow from extending the same system of legislation
adopted in this country to Ireland. Most mischievous
they have been in every point of view, and for the
reason already assigned : there was an attempt to shut
out the religious principle from consideration. Here
there was a vis mediatrix in the constitution capable of
bearing it up against such wounds as the reform bill
inflicted upon it; but in Ireland—where Popery has
got so firm a grasp—there is none—none, at least, of
sufficient pdwer to overcome the injurious tendencies
of such sweeping innovation.
These remarks will not be deemed unseasonable at
the present moment. We shall soon have a Conserva-
tive Parliament and a Conservative Government, and
unless these principles be fully recognised and acted
upon, we will not say that the nation will receive no
benefit from the change; but we do aver that Con-
servatism will be exceedingly blind to the advantages
of its position and to its true interest. It is not enough
that, after a severe and arduous struggle, the Con-
servative party, at length, recover their ascendancy ;
nay, unless they follow up the blow, we count it as
almost nothing. The foundations of the constitution,
recollect, have widened ; or, in other words, a large
measure of enfranchisement has been given to the
people. Upon the people, then, all depends. Leaven
the masses with the Conservative principle, and you
will he safe; neglect that indispensable measure, and
all will be lost. Let us, then, have Church extension
and sound religious education. Without these your
walls are without cement—your Conservatism a mere
rope of sand. We have now just barely gained a
victory ; we have yet to secure it, and profit by that
esson which adversity so clearly pointed out, and, we
:rust, has taught us.

Liverpool again contributes its quota to the Con-
servative cause, and under circumstances which prove
that it does so with increased good will. It is most
agreeable to be able to say, not merely that the Con-
servative electors have achieved a great victory, but
that Conservatism has here become decidedly the popu-

,ar cause—popular with all ranks. This was evinced
in every stage of the late contest—in the canvass, at

public meetings, in the streets, at the nomination, and,
above all, in the polling-booths ; and the result is to
place our Conservative members in such a position as
must make the Radicals bitterly lament their folly in
exposing their weakness by attempting to substitute
others of a different stamp in their room. The gross
majority of the successful candidates over their oppo-
nents, it will be seen by the official announcement, was
most overwhelming. It was, we acknowledge, even
beyond what we had ourselves looked for—sanguine
as were our hopes of a glorious result from the first.
Her Majesty's Ministers have thus got their certificate
from Liverpool, and we wish them joy of it. Here
there certainly is no confidence in them ; their arts
have failed to produce any effect upon us, and we
rather think the people generally are too knowing in
the way of business to take bad government in pre-
senti in exchange for a vague promise of worse bread
in future. The short of the matter is, that Liverpool
is Conservative—unequivocally Conservative ; and
everything we see in progress and process around us
leads us to the conclusion that it will become every

day more and more so.
And now, having said these few words in the way
of congratulation, we are at liberty to do the civil thing
by our opponents. A second phantom is now added;
and these dim forms of uncircumscribed shade may at
this moment embrace each other on equal terms.
Charon has done his office with 'the knight as well
as the lord, and landed him safely at the other side
of Styx. May they converse together in Elysian fields
supreme in all the happiness which a phantasm world
can afford them ! It would be pleasant to over-hear
their conversation, as they walk about, recalling events
and things once done upon this upper surface. If
there :was any possibility of sending a reporter after
them, how exceedingly amusing it would be to peruse
these new dialogues of the dead ! We must keep the
matter in view, for we by no means despair of being
able to furnish our readers with something extremely
original and refreshing in this way. Meanwhile, it
it was kind of Sir Joshua, before his final flitting, to
leave us a bit of writing as a token of remembrance.

Remember thee?

Aye, thou poor ghost, while memory holds a seal

in this distracted globe

Indeed we did not need any such mark of consider-
ation to keep him in mind; it would be hard to forget
him. But since he has left us a last will and testa-
ment, it is only respectful to his memory that we
should examine the contents. And first he begins by
thanking us all for the great kindness, and even
" thusy musy" which we evinced towards him during
life. The judge that tried and condemned him; the
party that convicted him, and even the sheriff that
conducted him to the place of execution, all, all have a
share in his grateful recollection. We acknowledge
that even we who were his political opponents, ever
treated him with the "utmost courtesy." In short,
never did man depart in more perfect charity with all
the world—which must be a great consolation to his
relations.

But secundo, there is here a dying declaration which
will be very inspiriting to some of his old associates,
particularly those who are known to be of a deter-
mined; desperate character. Whether it was right to
communicate this fact to the world in the first in-
stance, or not, we do not stop to inquire ; with that we
have nothing to do ; but that we may correctly ap-
preciate the character of the deceased; it is due to him

say, that he certainly " died game—true to the
y! There is a long and affecting passage on this
!ad. It would be too much for our nerves to go over

it all-again in this place. Suffice it to say, that he re-,
mained unconvinced, and unrepentant to the last.
His last breath was an aspiration after the black bread
of Russia, and foreign grain of every kind, and a
prayer that the eyes of his deceived and benighted;
yet, alas ! now knightless countrymen, might be opened
to a full perception of their advantages.

There are one or two passages however in this testa-
mentary paper which puzzle us, and which we very
much fear may prove the occasion of its being brought
into Doctors' Commons, or Chancery, and ultimately,
perhaps, cause it to be disputed as fiercely as the last
will of old Anthony 'Wood of Gloucester. It would
seem that the testator, at the time of writing this do-
cument, was under a strange delusion, that he might
possibly come to life again, and be heard of among
us ! He says in one place, " I regard the present
contest, which, so far as I am concerned, shall NOT BE
THE LAST--as but the beginning of a series of con-

,ests."

And he concludes in these words :---

On other questions, I have nothing now to say ; to these,

when the excitement of the struggle has ceased, I may have
other opportunities of directing your attention. Meantime,
though I have not obtained the houour of serving you as
your representative in parliament, I will still labour for the
promotion of your welfare in other ways. If I cannot serve
you as I would, I will at least serve you as I may."

'Phis is one of the strangest hallucinations that it was
ever our lot to meet with, and may possibly raise a
question as to the soundness of the man's intellect at

,e time of committing such extravagancies to paper

To talk of this contest not being his last—of his having
other opportunities of conversing with us after the
excitement of the struggle has ceased—of his promoting
our welfare in other ways—of his serving us as he may,
ft nut as he would—alas! this is really a touch of stark

-- What may this mean,
That thou, dead corse, again, in complete brass,
Shouldst revisit thus the glimpses of the moon,
Making night hideous; and we fools of nature,
So horribly to shake our disposition,
With thoughts beyond the reaches of our souls ?
We must speak to Father Butler about it. He, per-
haps, could lay the ghost, or get up a mass for his

repose.
We would subscribe ourselves to have the job done;
and if his reverence will send, the first bad half-penny
we meet with shall be at his service.

In the account of the election proceedings for this
town, will be found a return of the voters polled in
each ward, together with the candidates in whose fa-
vour their suffrages were recorded. This is highly
important—as exhibiting a fair criterion on which to
found an opinion as to the result of the forthcoming
municipal election. In every ward—with the exception
of one—a majority is shown for conservative principles,
and therefore, with a little management and exertion,
all the radicals who in November strive to represent
any of these districts, may be treated with a defeat
similar to that which has deservedly fallen upon Sir
Joshua Walmsley and his phantom colleague. We
also give the number of votes tendered by the re-'
nowned members of the Protector Society, in favour of
their munificent contributor. This, we understand,
was a device of Mr. Teapot Atkinson, a gentleman
who has rendered himself sufficiently conspicuous
during the recent contest, but whose adherence to Sir
Joshua contributed, we have every reason to believe,
very materially to swell the majority against him.

It is with extreme reluctance that we ever notice the
conduct of any gentleman occupying a seat on the
magisterial bench, in terms of censure, but the inter-
ference of Mr. Rushton, on Tuesday, during the pro-
ceedings at the nomination, has been represented to us
as so extremely partial that it would be almost impro-
per to let it pass without comment. The presence of.
Mr. Rushton might or might not be required at the
hustings ; but surely, when there, he should not have
shown the feelings of a violent partisan—in suffering,
without the slightest emotion, the grossest outbreaks
of the radical faction, and endeavouring to keep down
by force any exhibition of enthusiastic feeling on the
part of the consevatives. It was unbecoming—to say
the least of it—for a stipendiary magistrate to suffer
the superior display of the pally opposed to him so far
to get the better of his judgment as to hurry him into
petulant language and uncalled for interference. The
cheers of his opponents must have been annoying, but
in future if Mr. Rushton cannot comm and his temper,
he had better refrain from attending any similar de-
monstration. We believe the only return made to him
for the foolish attempt to exercise his " authority" was
to turn him very quietly from amongst the conserva-
tives, in whose ranks he had flung himself, in the hope
of terrifying the constitutional supporters by the sight
of his portly person.
