| ,et fourd it out But Of one thing there can
be no doubt; and that is, that Tory Administra-
ton is far more favorable 10 every kind OF progress
than any other For the last fifty years all popu-
lar movements have either been initiated or con-
summa ted under Tory rule 1t was Tory Min
isuy which passed the Catholic Emancipation bill.
1t was under Tory Ministry that the Reform
movement grew irresistible. The imposition of an
Income tax, which, however Inc ongruOus in its
pre- sent state contains the germs of proportional
taxation, ia the work Of Tory Ministry. The
Anti COrn-Law League, weak and timld under
| the Wing Administration, assumed revolution
CRY dimensions under the Tories; and while Rus
SELL in bis mort audacious flights, never yentured
beyond the limit of fixed duty, as mod
crate az himself, Peel could not but con-
sign the Corn Laws to the grave of all the Capuets
So too il is the Tories who have, 30 to say popu-
larized the aristocracy by bringing plebean Vigor
and talent to reinforce ts energies Through the
Tories, Canning, the son .of an actress lorded it
over the old landed aristOcracy Of England 80 did
Peel, the son Of parvenu cotton spinner, who had
originally been hand-loom weaver; so does Dis
raeli, the son of simple literary man, and Jew
into the bargain. Lord Derby himself converted
the son Of small shopkeeper Of Lewcs into Lord
High Chancellor of England, under the name Of
Lord ST. LeOnards. The Wings, on the other hand,
have always proved strong enough to bury their
pebean tools in vain decorations, or to drop them
by dint of naughty insult. Brougham, the soul of
the Reform movement was nulli6ed by being made
over to the Lords and Golden, the chief of the
Anti-COm. Law League, was offered the place OF
Vice President of the Board of Trade by the very
Wings he had reinstalled in Office.
In point Of mere intellectual ability, the new
Cabinet easily bear comparison with its prede-
cessor Men like DisraeH, Stanley, aud EIenbo-
rough, suffer no harm when matched against peO
pie of the stamp of Mr. Vernon Smith, late of
the Board Of Control, of Lord Panmure, War
Minister whom nothing but his "Take care Of
DOwb," can ever make immortal, and Of Sir c. c.
Lewis, of EdinJurgh Rrjtr dulness, or even against
such moral grandeurs as Clanricarde of the Pnvy
Seal. In fact PamerstOn had not only replaced
the Ministry of all parties by Ministry of no party,
but also the Cabinet of all the talents by Cabinet
of no talent except his own.
There can be no question that PalmerstOn bad
no idea ID the fnality Of bis ruin. He believed
Lord Derby would decline the Premiership now as
he had done during the Crmean war; Russell
would then have been summoned to the Queen; but
with the bulk Of his own troops serving under Pal
merstoD, and the bulk of the hostile army arrayed
under Disrael, he would have despared Of forming
Cabinet especially as he, Wing could not re-
soit TO the ultimate reason Of dissolving Parla-
n,ent elected under the Wing banners. Palmerston's
return to office, after weeks oscillation, would
thus have become inevitable. This fine bit Of cal
culston has been nullifed by Derbys acceptance.
The Tory Ministry may hold Office for longer or
shorter period They may go on for several months
before they are compelled to resort to dissolution
"A measure they are very sure to employ before
they finally resign their power. But we may
be certain of two things, namely: that their
career will be marked by the introduction OF
exceedingly liberal measures in regard to social
reforms Lord Stanleys course thus far and
Sir John PakiDgtons education bill, are
pledge of this) and above all, that in foreign policy
they bring with them most beneficial and cheering
charge. 1t is true, many shallow thinkers and
writers argue that Pamerstons fall Is not dam
aging blow to Louis Napoleon, because several OF
the new Tory Ministry are personally on good
terms with the French despot, and England In no
condition TO wage war with giant Continental
power. But il is precisely because England IS In
no state 10 embark in a new war that We deem the
answer given by Great Britain to the bullying
menaces and exactions of Louis Napoleous satraps
most significant 1t was not because Mallnesbury
and Disrael were to como into the Ministry that
the Independent Liberals in Parliament, rejecting
the undoubted aud emphatic sentiment OF the Ma
ton. answered the dispatch of Walewski by throw
ing out Pamerstons Conspiracy bill. Lord Derby
may stumble and fall, but the vote which carried
Miner Gibsons amendment will live aud bear fruit,
nevertheless.
We do not believe 10 any cordial and lasting alli-
ance between British Toryism and French Bona.
partisan The instincts traditions, aspirations OF
both parties revolt at it. We do not believe 1t
possible that the new Cabinet will take up and
press Palmerston's Conspiracy bill as the Paris
Journals so confidently anticipate. If they do, 1t
will not be till after they shall have answered
Waewski and De Morny, and answered them in
the spirit of Pitt and Castereagh. To1ism, with
all its faults, must have changed its nature to be
ready to change the laws of England at the beck Of
a BonspaTte.
Bat the significance of the late vote is unaffected
by any presumption of speedy feud between the
two Governments. 1t is as . proclamation to
Europe that Britain has ceased to play second to
French imperialism that we deem it most import
