The Reform Movement.

The New York Herald, of the 17th.
says:
A despatch by tho cable, yesterday,
informs us that the Tory Government
of England is preparing a plan to
flank John Bright's reform move
ment. 1t is announced as a brilliant
scheme for battling the reformers, in
the coming session of Parliament, by
introducing Il Government reform
measure, which is to be laid on the
table until the succeeding session, the
Ministry generously Offering the
House of Commons an opportunity
OF considering it in the meantime.
Whenever the Tories obtained power.
they were always accustomed to make
a higher bid for popular favor than
their predecessors in Office; but their
attempts IN this direction were usually
confined to promises, which were
rarely, If ever, fulfilled. In the pre-
sent advanced condition of public in
telllgence, quickened. as it is, by the
agitation of Bright and his colleagues,
1.-The Tory Government dare not go as
far as the people are prepared to de-
mand IN the matter of Parliamentary
reform. 1t is one of those moment
Gus crises in which an aristocratic and
land-owning Government is placed in
most embarrassing position, be-
tween the popular clamor for the
right of suffrage, which they canrot
accede to without signing the death
warrant of their own order, and the
desire to retain tenure of Office
which, without. some concession,
must, in the existing state of affairs,
be very brief.
The object Of this new movement
IS doubtless to gain time and to
weaken the effects of Bright's agita-
tion by some assurance of q compro-
mise. We hardly think, however,
that the Government will succeed in
thanking John Bright, and we are
morally certain that no reform mea-
sure which the Tories dare introduce
will satisfy the demands of the British
people, with the present high-strung
sentiment that prevails in the three
kingdoms.

The National htelzigencer says:
"The Southern people were educated
in the school of States rights. They
denied the sovereignty of the Federal
Government. They held it to be the
creature of the States, and that the
power which made could also un-
make. They, therefore, subordinated
their allegiance to the Federal Co.
vernment to that due their State,
and pride themselves more in being
Virginians or fAlabamians than citi-
zens of the United States. What
ever others may think, therefore,
they justly scorn the idea of being
perjurers. But laying this consider
alton aside, they entered into a revo-
luton for what they deemed a just
cause, or when begun, supported it
as choice between two evils -
