" TWELVE REASONS FOR. NO CONFIDENCE."

(Prom the Argus.)
I. "NO CONFIDENCE" should be placed by churchmen
in a ministry whose whole career has been marked by an un-
mitigated hostility to the establishment, and whose existence
depends upon,the support of the perjured Papist enemies of
all that is Protestant and Christian in the empire.
11. " NO CONFIDENCE" should be placed in the Mi-
nistry by the Chartists, for they have been lured to their
destruction by ,the example of those who are now making the
gallows the reward for the men they urged to " carry out"
the principle of the Reform Bill.
111. " NO CONFIDENCE" should .be placed by the
landed interest of England in a ministry which is pledged to
reduce our farmers to beggary, by the repeal of the corn-
laws.
IV. " NO CONFIDENCE" should be placed by the
humbler classes of the country, or their friends, in a ministry
which has boasted that they would compel the lower orders
of our countrymen to subsist upon " a coarser species of
food."
V. " NO CONFIDENCE" should be placed by the friends
of the Colonies in a ministry which devised the destruction
of the Jamaica House of Assembly, and drove Canada into
rebellion.
VI. "NO CONFIDENCE" should be placed by the
interests connected with the East Indies in a ministry which
has embroiled us with China, and is bringing on a collision
between England and Russia.
VII. " NO CONFIDENCE" should be placed by those
who feel for the honour of the flag of England in a ministry
which has suffered it to he insulted in Africa, in South
America,_ in the Mauritius, everywhere, in short, that other
people chose to make the experiment, with perfect impunity.
III." "NO CONFIDENCE" should be placed by the
moneyed interest in a ministry which has deranged all our
mercantile and pecuniary affairs, and is now endeavouring to
get on with an empty Exchequer and crippled resources.
IX. " NO CONFIDENCE" should be placed by the
members of the bar in a ministry which has declared absolute
war against all that is sacred in the legal institutions of the

country.
X. " NO CONFIDENCE" should be placed by the Peers
of England in a ministry which has so grossly insulted them ;
nor by the Corporation of London, which they have all but
kicked down stairs, and whose Sheriffs they are now keeping
in gaol.
XI. " NO CONFIDENCE" should be placed by the
gentlemen of England in a ministry supported by an alien
liar, covered with a vow in heaven against all consequences
of his ruffianism,—and
XII. " NO CONFIDENCE" should be placed by the
ladies of England, and their friends, who, we hope include
all Englishmen, boasting as we do in our national anthem of
the manly hands that guard the fair, in a ministry kept in
office by the greasy and foetid weight of O'Connell, who made
the public declaration at Cork—that nineteen out of twenty
women in England are mothers before they are wives.
Let this dozen of reasons for " no confidence" suffice. The
honour and the prosperity of England have been outraged
by these people. We have rebellion and bankruptcy at home.
Our Colonies are in mutiny—our Indian empire involved in
war. Filth and fraud are predominant in lofty quarters ;
tyranny and oppression grind down the poor. The church—
the peerage—the corporations—the bar—the gentry—the
paupers—have all been affronted, cheated, slandered, robbed.
