TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 29, 1843

The session of 1843 has now concluded, leaving

as the result of the labours of Parliament a large
amount of legislation—some of it but half-consi-
dered, we fear,—whilst scarcely one great question
has been satisfactorily settled. Education, factory
regulation, Church Extension, with many other
measures remedial of the social condition of the peo-
ple, are left unprovided for. The pacification of
Ireland can scarcely he said to have been attempted.
An extensively-organised system of outrage in Wales
is left to baffle the efforts of a handful of military
for its suppression ; and the causes, acknowledged
to he many, which have driven that proverbially
peaceable and loyal people into acts of almost rebel-
lion, are handed over to be discovered by the acute
vision of a Bow street magistrate. And in what
state is Great Britain herself? A widely-extended
conspiracy is directing the passions of the irritated
masses of the manufacturing districts to the de-
struction of the property of the landowner, as the
remedy for the existing distress of the community.
Turn-outs of labourers meet us on every side; and
are seized hold of with avidity as food for the
spread of the noxious principles of Chartism. Re-
peal of the Union is rearing its threatening front in
our large towns, wherever an Irish population is to
be found. In fact, to whatever quarter we turn
our eves, the

see tiad►cal organs chosen almost exclusively as the
medium of conveying to the public the advertise-
ments of the Council, to the exclusion of the faith-
ful supporters of loyalty and Constitutional prin-
ciples, men of all parties are disposed to doubt that
that body is a Conservative body at all, whi h acts
with such mistaken and suicidal liberality !
It is from no desire to advocate the principle of
exclusive dealing that we make these remarks, but
only from a conviction that the present policy of the
Council is damaging seriously the Conservative
strength in the borough. We detested the exclusive
spirit practised by the late Radical Council ; but we do
not see that, in members of a Conservative Council,
it is wise or right to carry their fear of being termed
favourers of their own party to an extent which in-
volves the committal of injustice towards those who
have deserved favour at their hands. A mistake so
great was never committed by their opponents when
in power; and we fear that the approaching elections
in November will show that it has produced a
dangerous alienation of Conservative feeling through-
out the town. Indeed it is much to be doubted
whether the defeat, which the Conservative party
have sustained in the election in Toxteth-park dur-
ing the past week, is not " the straw thrown up,"
which shews the tendency of future events in our
political atmosphere.

We live indeed in changed times. Could any
Englishman over whom the grave has closed but
twenty, or even a dozen years, look back upon the
scene of his earthly toils and struggles, and mark
the altered position of his country and the changed
feelings of its people, he would start back amazed
to think that a revolution so vast could have been
accomplished, in a time so brief; and that a nation
could have looked on calmly, and even approvingly,
whilst its institutions, its honour, its security, and
and most deplorable.

This is a disheartening state of things to contem-

Unhesitatingly we maintain that it is, and that ra-

against all assaults from without—powerful as is her
army and navy, magnificent her empire, and mighty
her commerce—she is, in her internal position,
filled with the elements of weakness, decay, and ulti-
mate convulsion. An insidious poison has entered
into her once unequalled constitution ; and if the
working of that evil principle is not checked by a
prompt and a vigorous cJunter effort, we fear that it
