The acceptance of Office by noblemen, in whom the
agricultural interest places unbounded confidence, is
CO nplee answer to the insinuation of which we
have lately heard much that the champions Of that
interest unwilling to assist in such a modification
Of the present laws Sir Robert Peel has init
mated his intention to propose for The purpose Of re-
medyng the abuses and evils connected with the pre-
scale OF duties. We never gave them credit for
being 50 unreasonable; and We in their ac-
ces-Ion to the government most satisfactory security
for the accomplishment Of those necessary changes,
without the slightest disturbance OF the union exist
ing between all branches Of the Conservative party
From the London Morning Chronicle
The question is whether, by their acceptance OF Of

Sir Robert has got them They have taken Office no

does not follow that he Is TO give the law to them and
the presumption rather Is that, the Duke OF Rich

brought him in if he does do their bidding Sir
Robert Peel is in and he will obtain fair trial Ii
the nded interests become Modified by their triumph
over Queen and people and in their generus suffer
Sir Robert TO obtain credit for little hberaIiiy by

the Reform Bill, through the Chandos clause has

their Queen 10 be forever enihralled by the landed

prosperity OF the country to the most sordd, however
