From the London Courie,, Jan 81.
The Morning Post is very apyry with tho Courier
for stating that the Duke ri Wellington ond Sir Ro-
bert Peel are ton wise and honorable to risk
volslon IN tho country, by placing themselves ut the
head OF tac:lon tor'ucd upon the principle of oppo-
sltion TO Parliamentary Reform of any description.
There may be persons wicked enough, and foolish
enough, TO oppose plan of moderate Reform, but
we repeat that 1t Is more SANDER to say thnt the
Duke Of Wellington and Sir Rob, 1T Peel have n

The Duke free-free in every respect 10 do his
duty in Parliament, and 10 serve his country. We 10
say that he will support Lord Gseys plan of REFORM
Tor we do not yet know what that plan is. whether
ought to be supported but will say that the Duke
Of Wellington cannot. and will not risk a convul.ion
by opposing reform altogether. A convulsicn Vas q
