since Lord Palmerston,s .cces.;o. n osBce
there had been sort Of torpor In public sifaip,--
torpor which Palmerston bad endeavorcd to en-
tend to the public mind bis first act a. premier hav
ing been an attempt 70 stihe the committee OF in
qury into the Encouragement OF the war. Lord
Palmerston had been placed at the bead Of the
government, on account of his presumed expert
ence Of military matters, supposed TO have been
acquired by him while Secretary at War. The
Duke Of Wellington once expressed to Lord Ellen
borough, his opinion OF Lord Palmerston by say
ing It not worth while to lire great guns at small
birds, Implying that Palmerston was very small
bird. Perhaps the +" small bird" has since attained
to the larger Dimensions OF the eagle. At all
events the public took the idea that Lord Palmers-
ton was the only "msn Of the situation" in the
recent crisis, and he was made minister.
Nations win sometimes indulge In that unfortu-
nate weakness which occasionally AFFECTS indi-.
vidusls-they viii crafty fancy. Repentance
soon followed on the indulgence of the weakness.
The people have become gradually disappointed In
their choice. While Parliament has been In
state of torpor the people have been sinking and
have arrived at the conclusion that Il Is necessary
IN selecting individual Is for public employmcnts, to
regard their fitness and not 10 act by favor.
