London Northern Star, is expressive of the
general feeling which prevails throughout
nearly the whole of the European Continent:
no THE RIGHT HON. LORD JOHN
RUSSELL, NJ. p.
Ny LORD: At this critical period of
my life, / cannot rest any longer without
addressing few lines to you, sincerely
hoping that they may find you in good
health and spirits as they leave me. But
now to business. as do not wish to de-
tain you any longer than | can help.
knowing you are Prime Minister of the
United Kingdom an Office you have
fulfilled much to the dissatisfaction of ev-
cry sensible person in her Majesty's do
minlons. | understand you are therefore
to be dismissed from that honorable and
profitable situation in April next. must
say, think this is coming rather too hard
upon you, considering at that time you
must deliver In your accounts, and you
have long and awful settling with con
science how you Will balance | can form
no idea, although | am an accountant by
profession. For, iD the first place, your
sell and your predecessors have been rob-
bing millions of people for years, and you
have only told US how part of the money
has been spent, and that has been divided
between your royal mistress, yourself and
your colleagues. Now, my Lord, do be
kind enough to tex your memory In the
same manner you have Gone the people.
ana no doubt You will be able to inform
me where part of il IS gone to. II YOU
do not comply with this request IN the
next number of the Northern Star, shall
begin TO think you deserve prosecuting
for obtaining money under false preIeh-
ces it will also lead others TO think that
their money has been applied 10 private
purposes Ii is an Old saying, you should
lay by for rainy day, and | fancy your
poor old grandmother has Ia Ight YOU that
very lesson = and if >he did, she was nonl
too honest, otherwise she would have
taught YOU how to have taken care OF
your own, and not to have robbed nations.
Consider, again, my Lord, that millions
have sunk Into their graves IN the prime
and yigor OF youth, from no other cause
than bad legislation. Does not our biood
run cold In your VEINS, when you tank
of these horrld murders Think again.
there are thousands OF tatherlt s. ana mo
theress children, left unprotected on the
wide world, and all through that wicked
government of which YOU are the head.
Although, my Lord, you cannot deny
having literally pined millions to death,
You had the audacity, the other night, to
stand up in the house, and In reply 10 an
honorable member, respecting the hospi-
tally shown TO that eXecrable tvrant, now
christened King Billy Smith, TO say
that YOU should always sanction that hos
pltality and sympathy towards an unior-
Iunate individual tor which England had
for ever been famed. Ny Lord, hope
you will excuse me for debating to YOU.
but YOU made a mistake It was not BIZ
ly's misfortune, bat misconduct. | should
have thought man OF learning, like YOUR
self. would have been able 10 distinguish
the difference between those two w ri,.
and also the merit and demerit 10 which
they are respectively entitled but, how
ever, time Is precious TO US both, Just now,
for you are at the head of government
and | expect to be IN few weeks, for al
experience you are quite incompetent to
govern tins empire; II Is a pity did not
take the office of Prime Minister wears
ago as il would have been the means OF
saving millions OF poor wrttches from
starvation, and have been millions of
pounds IN the pt ckets Of those left be-
hind. Now, my Lord | shall oaly dissect
one speech OF yours, which think viii
be sufficient 10 shcw YOU, That am as lit
for that honorable office, ana even more
so than yourself. This speech YOU made
on the 18th OF March, IN rep.y to the
learned and hon, member for The West
Riding of lo,k, (Mr. Cobden) on the In
come tax question: In the first part, YOU
observed, That YOU had heard The most
opposite and strauCest reasons urged for
the support OF an amendment which en-
bodied no principle, but winch was an a.
mendment merely for the purposes OF en-
barruSsmenr.' PRAY, my l. nd, on what
