suspicion and distrust have long been in the camp;
some murmur, some storm, many are sick, and not
a few disguised.
What, then, is to be done The old wing party,
as Mr.. Cayley has proved, will not support Lord
day, but he never committed SO much upon himself,
he did by his recent declaration against all pro.
tective duties upon corn. Lord Morpeth has sold
himself by means OF a E5 note. The split, there

land, and those who are landless-between the
welfed and the hungry wing, Is immense, and lrre-
parable.
Our opinion is, judging by the obscure light in
OF Parliament must be the result, followed mmedi-
ately by general election. In this case the nation
at large will be called upon to decide the great
question at issue. Much inconvenience to many
parties must ensue particularly to those connected
that the inconvenience of delay for SIX or eight
weeks, may not be salutary to the country gene
rally.

that, notwithstanding the manifest difficulties which
a single glance assured him must inevitably bese

her Majesty with determination to allow no con
sderaficns OF a merely party nature to interfere
esty and the country at the present juncture. What
obstacles are now interpreted in the way OF fl

visable by Lord John and those who may be pre-

without reserve upon the right shoulders
