The cause of Re►oass ought not to lose one inch
of ground, nor one ounce of weight from she little
differences among Reformers. This waist of Union

of the complainant, to remedy ow w sudden what is
become so intolerable. The same thing ever did and
ever will occur; the friends to the present corrupt
system will and do mil themselves of the sootiest
bickering, among these classes against whom they
have declared war, which very war, by the cruet and
insulting manner it is tarried on, is likely to
become a war of elleratioation ! I We wilt not shock
either party by saying with which side the victory is
sure to repose. It h dreadful to think of the pro-
spective: but the &elevation has taken riser, the
gauntlet has been thrown down in the face of those
who have renounced further entlsr•nce, and the in-
terforesice only of something vent, pot:crful, and
respectable, can avert • dismal carnage. It is in
vain to mince swords and phrases. The trans-
peters of the Household Troops have sounded
their brazen instruments; they stem [eager " to
grapple with" their foes --Would the deter.
minstion of the contest rested oa the courage, end
lay with the fete, of those bombastic heroes of the

the bloody war to be waged by others; in a word,
they are indeed comp; t the beads of their
columns, but they are columns on paper, not co.
limns in the field. They like to grapple with the
pockets of the Secretaries end the Treasurers of :he
Public Beards, who satisfy theta for the silver-
lisements they have published in the columns
of their tainted field. These witty, not warlike,
Gentlemen are pleased with the occasion, first of the
concentration of the patriots, now with their sliver-
ivory. On these circumstances they may amuse
themselves and, perhaps, some few of their readers;
hut we will take care to prevent these 'filling Drees-
tenets from letting down the dignity of the object at
• kids the honest moil sound part of the British
lie are aiming. It is, we must allow,enoogh to create
a smile, that the veteran in both war sod polities, the
unbending Reformer, Major CARTWRIGHT, should be
suspected by even the most enthusiastic Reformer, of
bending to circumstances. The Major has too much
knowledge of sea sod things, and too mach tearer
to allow this to do mere thaw for a pnoment contract
the muscles of his face; it will not contract those of
his heart, which always "spend with benevolence to
his epppressed countrymen.
The same may be said of another greet and distin-
guished friend of the People, Sir F•AMeu BURISITT,
whose mind (as well as heart) is too enlarged to abate

least in our esteem," is Mr. llostioust, who, though
disappointed by inadvertency, which neght not to
base happened, and which never will again happen,
la his sieve of serving the same cause es Member for
Westminster, is not on that account displeased with
