    such a commutation as will shift the pressure to the part where it can best be borne . How oddly , how disgustingly , does the idea of a reformed Parliament and a real representation of these petitioners , associate with the facility with which the bonus to the West Indian interest was transformed from a loan to a gift , and from fifteen to twenty millions !

    The singularity of the last petition in the Table , baffles our principles of classification . We cannot just now ascertain whether the one subscriber of the one petition for the impeachment of Ministers , was the chairman of a meeting , or represented only himself . His prayer is gone to the limbo of vanity . It would be a sight for sore eyes , to see the House of Lords sitting in

    judgment on a whole Administration ; and such a House on such an Administration . « Leave them to Heaven / good man : as Hamlet did his mother ; and if they have indeed , like her , played false , and been made traitorous to reform , by the blandishments of Aristocracy , a heavier retribution than impeachment before the Lords ( Polonius , we suppose , to fill up the parallel ) will assuredly be their destiny . Even now , they must be lost to all sense of honourable fame , not to feel the difference in their position which one short year has made . Should the hereditary fatuity to which they truckle jostle them again from office , where now are the enthusiastic multitudes that once bore them back triumphantly ? The Globe and the Times may cry ' Wolf , ' but who stirs ? There is no echo . Their firmest friends have long been reduced to

    apologies for what they cannot justify , pleas of difficulty and embarrassment , and petitions for procrastination of the judgment . They have made hosts of enemies ; and many are those who would gladly have continued the confidence which they generously reposed , but who have been forced to its withdrawment by repeated disappointments , forgotten professions , violated promises , and the insane attempt to retain some hold of the people , and yet propitiate the vain and rapacious interests that can never be atone with the public good . The great object of all who aspire to public usefulness , must henceforth be to teach the pecfple ( in the pursuit of whatever promotes the real and permanent improvement of their condition ) to rely solely on themselves , and to qualify them for that self-reliance by the dissemination of political wisdom .
