That this known temptation has been so risenuously resisted, is more creditable to the honour and pride of individual writers than to the good sense of statesmen and politicians, What reward was ever bestowed on the men who fought the hard and doubtful fight of Conservatism in the columns of the press through the memorable years of 1832, 1899, 1884, 1895, and 16861 If any and force more than another destroyed the Whig ministry in 1841, it was the press, and yet how has it been rewarded? The man whose un ceasing exertions stamped odium and disgrace pon the Whigs, passed wholly unnoticed by those whom they substituted in their places. The egot ism of Sir Robert Peal was as ungrateful as the nepotism of his predecessors. And so it will con- nue to be till every politician in Parliament, from the premier down to the youngest lordly expectant, is convinced by facts too startling to be paltered with, that there is some danger in contemning a power which has already virually abolished mili Mary flogging, and bids fairly to abolish the new poor-law.
