adopting a bill printed and laid before parliament by the reform ministry, by a fear that it may throw the sway in most corporate towns too much into the hands of their own friends? Surely not.
How plain and easy, then, is the path which lies before the new administration. What should prevent Church-Reform and Corporation-Reform from being both laid on the table of the House of Commons on the first day of the coming session?
But with these manifestations of the greatest willingness to amend, there should also be given a clear and distinct avowal of a determination not to abandon the fundamental principles of our institutions. If we are to maintain our Protestant established church, let us do it consistently, and with a firm adherence to that protest which lies at the very root of her existence. On civil grounds, we must tolerate the Papists among us; but on religious grounds we can have no intercourse, no dealing with their ecclesiastical polity. The least alliance or connexion with her priesthood—an idea obviously entertained in some quarters-would put an end to our Protestant character; and when this had been abandoned, there could be no pretence for maintaining a Protestant church a single twelvemonth longer.
We dwell upon this point, because we are quite aware that the project of allying the Irish priests with the state is a favourite one in some quarters. But, if it be ever attempted to be carried into effect, it will assuredly ruin the statesman or the party that undertakes it. The Whigs felt this; and while their wishes were decidedly in its favour, their prudence held them back. But for a Tory administration to make the attempt, would be nothing less than downright suicidal madness. At least five-sixths of the Tory party among the people are men of some religious principles, or at least of some religious notions and prejudices. All these are opposed to Popery. The ruin of the Duke of Wellington's last administration was sealed on the day when, by carrying the Roman Catholic Relief-bill, he had disgusted and alienated these, his best support. His own forces were divided and scattered by his own act. The hollow friendship of the Whigs kept his ministry up, with a kind of unnatural life, for a single session; but the moment an excuse was given, this hypocritical support was withdrawn, and the Whigs triumphed in his fall. But it cannot, surely, be possible for the same error to be repeated. If it were, its punishment would be even more immediate. Repel and alienate the Tories of England once more; you will not find a Whig party so willing now to support a Tory ministry acting on Whig principles," even through a single session.
We have indicated a sufficient outline of the policy which common sense would dictate under present circumstances. There are some, however, who would urge an immediate dissolution of parliament without any previous public declaration of the policy of the new ministry. We cannot think this wise. It would compel the country to decide before the real question at issue was well understood. And if the experiment failed, or a majority too small to enable the new ministry to carry on the public business was the result,-what remedy would remain? A second dissolution could not be resorted to.
No! let the cabinet rather resolve to meet the House of Commons with such measures as may carry with them their own recommendation, and the good wishes of the country. Opposition will thus be neutralised. And what, indeed, is there to fear? The last great division of the House, in July, was 235 for Althorp and Spring Rice, and 171 for Peel and Stanley. Is a majority like this insurmountable? Surely not.
Commence, then, with propositions which may be at once Conservative and ameliorating. Prove to the country, by acts, that the Tories are not AntiReformers; and then if a factious and carping opposition rears its head, dissolve without a moment's hesitation, and the country will do its duty.
IV. The Final Song of XXXLV.
WE have not quite come to the end of the year,
But a new one we'll have ere our next will appear;
We think 34 to the dust should not pass
Without one last toast to illumine our glass.
And what is the toast that events on the wing
Should suggest as the first? It is-GOD SAVE THE KING!
And what is the toast which events on the wing
Should suggest as the first? It is-GOD SAVE THE KING!
And God save the Queen, too-no treason, we think,
If the health of that lady we venture to drink.
Lord Durham and Co. they may hoot at her name,
And his Countess look on, and not blush at the shame;
But such blockheads and brutes to the winds we may fling-
Here's the Queen, my good fellows, with GOD SAVE THE KING!
But such blockheads and brutes to the winds we may fling--
Here's the Queen, my good fellows, and GOD SAVE THE KING!
God save him, because at a moment of need
Our country from fraud and oppression he 's freed,
Has sent all adrift the impostors and quacks,
The church-robbing rogues, the economist hacks
Broughams, Palmerstons, Rices, Grants, all in a string,
(Would a string were their fate!) so here's GOD SAVE THE KING!
Broughams, Palmerstons, Rices, Grants, all in a string,
(Would a string were their fate!) so here's GOD SAVE THE KING!
The rogues are now out to their own fitting tune,
And England looks gay as the roses in June:
Who then should we thank for dispelling the crew?
Why, who? Royal William, sure no one but you!
"Twas your nerve, sense, and spirit, that settled the thing,
And got rid of the rubbish. Then, GOD SAVE THE KING!
"Twas your nerve, sense, and spirit, that settled the thing,
And got rid of the rubbish. Then, GOD SAVE THE KING!
All the honour is yours-not a mortal can doubt
That your foot all unaided has kicked the Whigs out;
And out let them stay, there to murmur and sneer
At him whom their praise has bedaubed through the year,
While all else in Old England shall merrily sing-
Here's a health to the Queen, and may GOD SAVE THE KING!
While all else in Old England shall merrily sing—
Here's a health to the Queen, and may GOD SAVE THE KING!
