Ever si>os Lord Painerstoa tumbsei hsadong from
pswew three months snoe by the unlocked Tor deser
ton Il bis own followers he has made tho most strenuous
erss 70 get again 70 the much desderAsed post Of
Prime Minister His tactics have ovinoed the skill and
perisacs Of man who has been member Of tho House
q Commons for fifty years. Instead OF firing daily
broadsdss Of urgd defamation into the present
paas Of the Downing street CITADEL he has remained for
most part SILENT and has enforced the system
upon his chatting euenants. He has been watchful,
though, w, and only waiting for his opponents 10
give hin dnase TO get up . good "cry" against them
when he means 70 let loose his whole pack OF political
hounds 10 yep loud enough to wake up the nation He
thought his time had como when Derby and Disrael'
brought In new India bill about month ago, which
was adjusted then, and Palmerston gave the signal for
YELL but 70 his intense chagrn, Lord John Russell his
rival for ooe stepped forward and suggested 10 Drael
that he bad better drop bis India bill at once which he
coaseutcd readily do and escaped the danger which
menaced him.
Ater this was pretty clear that Dsrae at the head
q the conservatives aided BY Lord John Russell 1t the
head Of strong liberal aossn, were too much even for
the willy Pamerston So with the pliaucy Of an old pou
Cia. whose principles about par with those OF
lOvste proposed 70 Lord Johc 70 mako friends and
divide the spois. His offer accepted aud the Times
laisrncd the world this week that Sunday Inst these
Eve old political sagers had met, kissed, and joined
agaiA This done Pamerston Get - work with renewed
Vigilance, logging the cautious steps OF the prosecuted
Dsraei, always In the anxious hope Of finding chance to
raise 'cry" and turn out the Derby Disrael govern.
nen Providence has thought ut to favor him at last
aad The hubbub that the Times tho ally Of Pslmerston
and all his smaller ours has been making all the week
Is enough 10 frghten the isle from her propriety
You know the richest gift in the possession Of the
British government the Governor Generalshp Of India
and get hold OF the present administration sent out
despatch the other day casting Lord Canning
whom PAmerston sent 10 India. The Sepoy rebellion
broke under Canning but Il is nearly extnguished
people homo inclined 10 give him the credit due TO
him ipudicious at the moment Of his success
for Lord Derby to utter word Of censure against him.
No sooner did he do than Pamerston his chance
and he ordered Of his satellites Mr.. Cardwe, to
bring forward motion 70 support Lord Canning The
debate 70 take place TO night the l4th and the Derby
msna utention of 10. Fully sensible Of their danger
Derby ID Dsrasn induced Lord marlborough the Minis
ter who wrote the despatch In question: to resign which
he did Immediately and the trembling tenants OF Office
hoped this Ingenious would take the cry out Of
Palmerstons mouth But the Prime Minister, repeating
the chorus Of Chrstys Minssres sung out "a" will
do 70 give Mr. Brown and he is resolved to have
a wreste with his antagonists To night not knowing when
he may have another chance, and remembering that
man u can't afford 70 waste any time This is an i'm

And now for the moral.
THIS violent vulgar struggle for the spos OF office
Is something quite in the history OF England at least
for the last hundred and fifty years. because the
try for that time has been divided between two great

how dfncu has become for any Get OF Ministers TO
