MORNING, NOJ

28, 1848.

THE aspect of political parties is just now a
somewhat singular one. The old Whig family—
the Holland House clique—is confessedly in arti-
cub° mortis. The Premier is reported to he sick of
the cares of office; sick of the incapables he has
around him ; worn out alike in mind and body by
the difficulties which meet him on every side ; and
—sure sign of an approaching change—the Greys
have set about providing for their friends. The
party have literally nothing left them to fall back
upon—nothing, at all events, which they can call

their own, or upon w
tion; for even helm
,often, would spurn tr

eh they can found an agita-
, which has helped them so
rn now and henceforth.

Still more pitiable is the position of the ultra-
liberal, or free-trade party. The Brights and Cob-
dens, the Kershaws and the Bowrings, have be-
come dumb dogs. We hear of no great gatherings
at Free Trade Hall, or Covent Garden ; no blow-

ing of trumpets, no
their pet projects. (

it those results have not
promised; groping in the dark for
excuses for their failure, and tilting at imaginary
windmills in every direction. They have been
awakened from their dream of self-glorification,
and find themselves friendless, the scoff of the
masses whom they deluded, and themselves the
victims of the blow which they imagined, in their
selfishness, they were inflicting solely upon others.

)n the contrary

Stockport has just shewn the estimation in which
she holds her former idol, and his friends; and the
West Riding, we feel somewhat confident, is about
to throw itself into the arms of Conservatism.
Another few months of the pressure and prostra-
tion, under which we are now suffering, and the
entire nation will boil over in indignant anger
against the incapable meddl
