    and the Const&buUwy Police Bill ? And , although it was post poned at the desire df Lord Melbourne , yet was not the state of things produced by the Tory opposition the real cause of delaying lx > rd Brougham ' s Education Bill ? ' Darkness' has done *

    pptetty well for one short session . Here is power enough in all conscience , and success enough too , for a party to boast of , against public opinion , and over public opinion . And to those who hate dared so much your Lordship holds forth encouragement to dare more . You tell them , in effect , to continue and

    aggravate their fantastic tricks , for not a hair of their heads shall : be touched , not an inch of their space for the disgusting exhibition shall be trespassed upon , not an atom of tneir abused power and privilege shall be retrenched , not a shadow of re- * sponsibility shall cloud their triumphant visages . You leave them to public opinion . You may as well leave them to the day of judgment .

    Your Lordship seems to forget that your party , the Whig Reformers , is at present , practically , in a state of coalition with another party , the Radical Reformers . There may be no formal arrangement or express compact ; the cooperation may be entirely unconditional ; it may be proudly elevated above all former junctions of political bodies by the absence of any

    stipulation for place , power , emolument , or even for any particular measures of public policy . But a support thus characterized by purity and generosity altogether unexampled in formei * unions of political bodies , only demands the more imperatively a spirit of courtesy and conciliation in the leaders of that section which reaps the undivided harvest of place and patronage . Not thus has it been in the previous coalitions of your party . Lord North treated

    in a very different way with Charles Fox . Harder bargains were driven by the Grenvilles and the Windhams . Nay , to come closer , something more was sacrificed in the formation of the Grey Administration , for the inclusion of the Richmonds , the Pahiier 9 tons , and the Grants . Without any shame , nay , as a principle of party morality , there has always been , in addition to

    the distribution of place and influence , a concession , at least to the point of silence ,, on the leading political tenets of your coadjutors . This concession ought surely to have been made in the present case : you might at least have avoided a declaration of future hostility against your present supporters .
