THE JEW BILL

IT
would appeal. that every attempt of Lord JOHN
RussuLL to thrust his Jew colleague into Parlia-
meat; is becoming less hopeful of success, as in his
,tst endeavour he only succeeded in the pre-
liminary step of getting the bill introduced by
the small majority of 236 to 207. We are
compelled to admit, that so long as Roman.
fists, Socinians, and Infidels, are admitted into the
House of Commons, there must be less contamina-
tion from the addition of a Jew to the list; but, at
the same time, it must be remembered, that the
measure now proposed is not only a virtual but an
avowed repudiation of the Christian character of the
Legislature. It is not necessary to utter a syllable
against the social character and even the moral
worth of the Jews, as such ; but they pride them-
selves on the denial of the Saviour of mankind, and
would thereby be placed in an anomalous position,
in being called upon to legislate for a country, the
constitution of which is especially based upon its
recognition of Christianity. No honest Jew could
desire to be so placed, for he must either deny his
own creed, or prove an enemy to the State ; and
nothing has yet been shown to justify, or call for
such an alteration. As for the argument of his
being deprived of the rights of citizenship, it is

pue4le, and altogether untenable. He claims no
other country than the land from which he was
banishes by a Higher Power, and considers himself
everywhere else but an alien. His distinction as a
Jew is not oda/ in religion but in family, owning
no allegiance bir, temporarily during his sojourn ;
and, by his own showing, has no claim whatever to
the privilege which Lord JOHN RUSSELL is SO

anxious to confer upon Nil% ROTHSCHILD, for con-
siderations with which we acP not acquainted. Nor
is his exclusion from Parliament a peculiar hard-
ship; for it belongs equally to the Clergy, to the
Judges, to Government, contractors, to femtles, to
aliens, however long their residence here, ant to all
persons who do not possess an income of £3OO
a-year ; so that in this respect the plea is d no
value whatever. We do not believe that word
JOHN RUSSELL was ever sincere in bringing for—
ward this measure, and it is to be hoped that the
smallness of the majority at its first stage is signfi,-
cant of its ultimate defeat.
