The general election is over, at least so nearly
SO that its history may be written, and its character
ascertained Its character was one of decorum
and quietness very little of the usual elements of
party strife were called into play, old party watch
words and party names were forgotten, and very
few new ones were made use OF. The Protection
lists have not abated one ot of their dspleasure to-
wards Sir Robert Peel, but they appear to have no
unkind feelings towards Lord John Russell. Many
of them, with Lord G. Bentinck and Mr.. DIsraeli
at their head, speak of the Administration with re-
spect, and hint at giving to 1t their measured sup
port Nearly all say that they wish :" the expert
ment' of repeal of the corn laws to receive
fair trial. evidently thinking that the peculiar cir
cumstances of the last harvest, and the very amply
remunerating prices which the farmer received for
his produce, did not test the question: but that an
abundant harvest, low prices, and unlimited mpor-
tation will teach the agrcultursts that Sir Robert
Peel's policy is bad one, and rouse them up from
John o. Groat's House TO the Lands End in favor
of protecting duty. AS your venerable neighbor

You will hence perceive that the Wings do little
more than outnumber the two sections of the Con-
servatives and could these two sections be brought
together they would leave Lord John Russell with
out majority to be depended upon. His real
strength, however, and an unconquerabe strength
is, consists in the perfect political hatred which
these two sections have of each other. Fire and
water, oil and vinegar, the National Intelligencer"
and the " Union" may enter into combinations and
coalitions, but the Peetes and the Protectionists
never can; they will each and sometimes both
agree with the Administration upon particular ques
tons scarcely any question is likely to arise which
will not receive the support of many of these two
parties. Lord John Russell must sklfully avail
himself Of their aid, keep upon good terms with
boh but avoid all sorts of enangling alliances with
either The Wing party has Chartists and Re-
pealers in its ranks; they will be troublesome but
not unm manageable.
