school, and were learned in the same politics as
Lard Liverpool hismicif, and who have all (at least all

set this unities, Administration, emir "bluespirits and
grey," these " black spirits and white," are to be helot
up to the ridicu'e and scorn of the country, as a
Whig-Adissinistration, in order to blast the character
of those few amongst them who were Whigs, and to
brit* into dittrepute th. principles of Whiggisne. lint
let the Noble Lord who leads the,Ministerial phalant:
and dirmts the Ministerial auxiliaties he told,—and
let the country know, that it is not even the incon-
sistent conduct of the supporters of any political prin-1
ciples, that ought to vitiate those principles in the
public estimation; munch less the insidious covert at-
tack of pretended friends, or the artful insinuation*
21 avowed ramie*.
That Earl (irry and Mr. Fox ever took office with
such men as*ere assigne.l to them as their coadju-
tors is a circumstance err, to be regretted ;—that there
Rust bare been a constant struggle between principle
anti interest ought to hare been foreseen ; an I that

hut partial awl doubtful good whilst they were
held together, was certain iron the b..ginning.
It it high time that the conntry shouts) be disabused
on this snhject. It never in the course of the late
long reign hail a fair trial of a real consistent unmixed
Whig-Administration. It has been brOught down
front the peerless height to which it had been raised
by the Whig Counsels of the great Lord Chatham,
whom the late King found in office. to its present state
of devlolation and ettisrrt, by Tory Councils—or,

or ittis!ed by names. lie those called Whig or
'fury, or loav, sacred or profane, who build iv
the real interests of the Empire on the ease, the
comfort, and the happiness of the people ;—who con-
WO alike f.)l the legal prerogatives of the Crown,

those are the tu-n who will have t,ur warmest support,
larragre they ire the hest friends of the country. and
of every honett, hutortraltle, and industrious matt in
it. Such men (let them be called by w!iat names
they will) are real practical ; but should liey
1w hotter pleased to be called by any otht r name, God
farbitil we should quarrel w'.lll them about snub Irides :
! we would rather, with emelt men, and for the s.dtt.uf
sacA principles, consistently and earnestly supported,
be called by any 0:Ilse DAMP also. True, however,
it is, that ,the Aaisniatiatration, of which Lord Grey

and his friends formed so small a portion,
passed in a few months what the Pitt and Liver-
pool M.iool did not effeet in an egoal ttttt ober of
years.—the ahnlition of the detestable slave-trade ; and
egnally true it ;s they did that whirl. no administrat'att,
desirous of ruling by military power, ever did or
would do : they red.-cute I the soldiery of the
country from degradati In and servitude for life. That
they did not do all that they might have done we
allow ; that they di,' things w.hi-la they ought tint to
have done we admit ; hot that they did more than
could reasonably have been expected from them, under
existing circumstances, we also c tnten-I. When it is
cough's-red how unwillingly the Foxites were admitted
into 0t!...;• at all---huw heterogeneous was the ton;,uni-
tion of tne Adminiqration of which they farmed so
small -t port--how eager and panting matey of their
rolleag,nes were for place, honour, and emolument--
and, above all, what an impure atm-spherf war. assign-
ed them to hreathe in,--how could it he expected that
the fatal errors of their predecessors could be correct-
ed, or that the Attrean stable of Corruption could be
cleansed in a few intends., ? That this was not done,
however, formed no part of the ground-work of Lord
Liverpool's attack on Lord (trey ; and, to leave been
consistent with his own less perfect practice, he should
have praised Ilya Noble Earl for the foibles of hi,
unworthy associates, and not have contributed all i;t
his flower to increase that inlisariminate distrust of
!midic characters which alrea .y proved the mi
fortnite, and which may eventually consolidate the
ruin of tht- conntry.
