      The Ministerial Crisis. We Were Not Imbu...

      THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS . We were not imbued with the same reliance upon Whiggery wliich led its adherents to an easy belief in the power of that party to form an administration , while we were fully impressed with the awkward position in which the manifesto of Lord John Russell would place Sir Robebi Peel . Very early in the contest , we announced the impossibility

      ofpatching . up an occasional Ministry out of the fragments of worn-out Whiggery . The times and circumstances in which they have hoped once more to clutch office from the chance presented by famine , are not of their ' creation , nor are they the party to control the one , or govern the ether . The public mind of this country has made a bound within this last five years that will render it difficult for any administration to keep it within the limits of party .

      The breaking up of any government , and especially of so strong a one as that of Sir Robert Peel , of itself inspires new hope , leads to new action , and requires new men , or men who are susceptible of new impressions at such a crisis . The altered circumstances in wliich the country now finds itself are mainly , if not wholly , attributable to Sir Robert Peel . His legislation cannot be judged by one isolated measure , or by one portion of his policy ; all his measures , and the whole of his policy , must be reviewed at one and the same time . And as well may the Duke of Wellington have said to an inferior

      officer on the eve of the battle of Waterloo , here is my plan , such ia my policy , I resign the command of the combined forces to you—win the battle , " as that Lord _Joun Rossell should now take the command of Sir Robert Peel ' s measures and his policy , with the same prospect of success that Sir Robem Peel had a right to anticipate ; but not with the same strength of forces that Sir . Robert Peel commanded . Let us for a moment presume an impossibility—that Lord John Russell could induce the Commons to repeal

      the Corn Laws . If he had got so far his difliculties would have only just commenced , and we know that the Noble Lobd , during that period when Whiggery was strongest , avoided as much as possible any collision with the House of Lords . Upon tho other hand , let us presume that Lord Jons Russell has recourse to a dissolution of Parliament , if beaten in the Commons . The result of such an experiment , at the present moment , would be an increased majority against the measure ; and the inevitable appointment of a Protectionist administration would be the .

      consequence . To one of three conclusions we must come . Either that the country will back Lord Johk Russell , and overa we both Lords and Commons as it did in 1832 , or that the protectionists , emboldened hy public apathy , will consider _tkemselves warranted in resisting what , in sueh cases , would appear as the mere clamour of a party ; or , what i 3 still more probable , that a strong manifestation of public opinion would induce the protectionists to preserve that portion of their property which would not destroy their position in society , rather than hazard all for a mere temporary triumph of party over the people . In the latter case they would recal Sir Robert Peel , and this , we believe , would give thc greatest amount of

      public satisfaction . In any case we hold it to be an impossibility for any government to repeal the Corn Laws without the aid of such an adjustment as of itself must derange society , and must be followed not only by new laws , but by a completely altered system . It must not be lost sight of . that the free trade party is mainly composed of enthusiastic expectants , some of w hom base their notions upon the slight loss to the revenue , and others who base their opinion upon great gain to self . We would remind the first class of free traders , that it matters not what the amount of revenue may be that is produced bythe Corn Laws , whether a hundred thousand pounds or a million , either sum constitutes the standard by which the great scale of fiction throughout all social $ tnd mercantile arrangements is regulated , It re-

      gulates the price of wages , it regulates the money price of every article in use , it _reeulates the rate of salaries , the rate of taxation , the rate of interest on funded debt , the rate of land , the rate of pay td soldiers , sailors , and policemen ; and , once disturb the base of fiction , and the whole superstructure must inevitably tumble to the ground . While others have been theorising and speculating upon the measure , we have been arguing it precisely as all sane minds now begin to view it . We have called attention over and over again to tho fact , that however proper adjustment may hereafter grow out

      of chaos , that unless that adjustment preceded the change , chaos must assuredly come . If the Tory landlords of England ever do consent to a repeal of the Corn Laws , it will not be under the administration of a party who would ereate confusion first , and then trust to the chapter of accidents that order might result from chaos . The landlords must be dull indeed , if they have not observed the move of Sir Robert Peel towards the necessary adjustment . His tariff of 1841 ; his Canadian Bill , nay , foolish

      as it may appear , the presentation of a bull to his tenants , the permission to kill game on his estates , the calling together of practical agriculturalists for the purpose of conference , were of themselves , one and all , hints from which the landlords must have drawn the conclusion , that the Corn Laws were doomed ; and that they should put their house in order for the event , while the reduction of interest upon the funds was a significant hint of the adjustment by which Sir Robert Peel hoped to preserve the same position in society for the landlords ,

      under altered circumstances . We would remind those parties who whimsically anticipate great g ain from the repeal of the Corn Laws , that from their anticipated profit must be deducted the means of equalising society ; as from their arguments one would suppose that there was to be a general scramble , and that they were to have the selection of the best standing room . Such a result , however , would not meet even Lord Jonx Russell ' s notions of adjustment . Sir Robert Peel , who is a shrewd man , must have calculated upon the necessity ofgetting rid of the refractory of his cabinet before

      he jeopardized the peace of the country by so hasty a resignation ; and he is therefore bound to repair the damage , and to make good the breach . It is folly to suppose that tho mon , whom public opinion has stamped with infamy and branded with reprobation , can realise those hopes of progression now so universally entertained ; and yet we learn that the motley Whigs , of all things dread the infusion of democratic blood ; and to such a calamity they would prefer a compromise with their old opponents . This was the rock upon which Whiggery split before ; and the vessel is not stronger now to bear the shock that shattered it in 1841 .

      If Lord John Rossell was a man for the times he would have formed such a cabinet in forty-eight heurs as would havo carried out the spirit ofhis manifesto . If bread ia necessary , why stand upon the brink ? Why hesitate , if Ireland is threatened with famine ? And if Lord John Russell has ascertained the fact , as we believe he has , that foreign aid is necessary in such an emergency , and after the Queen , cognizant of his intention , had entrusted him with her confidence , why did he not open the ports ? and trust to an indemnity which a starving people would have forced from a pampered aristocracy . It is

      evident that he is afraid of his own thunder , and that he has merely used the God-send of famine as a stepping-stone to power . Peel had not declared for a repeal of the Corn Laws—Russell had ; therefore , what in Peel may be virtue and consistency , in Russell is weakness and hypocrisy . We believe , in the present state of the public mind , that the whole people of this country would bear any infliction rather than again submit to the tyrant rule of a pure Tory administration , and we feel convinced that their apathy alone can lead to so horrible an infliction .

      Perhaps Peel relied upon moro excitement than has been evinced upon his resignation ; but if he is disappointed upon the one hand , he may console himself upon the other with the reflection that the Whigs could not have insured one day's tranquillity without the existence of a government . It is a bitter pill to have but the poor choice of swallowing , Russell or tho Duko ; . tvnd yot we are prepared for the alternative , because the country ' s good demands it , because the necessity of the times requires it ; but we would infinitely prefer Peel to either or both .

      »,*Aas ¦Flllfr Bid Again, Lord John !!! ...

      » , _* AAS ¦ _flllfr BID AGAIN , LORD JOHN !!! Since we last wrote under this head , Lord JonN Russell has been placed In a situation that enables him to bid fairly for the power that can sustain him in the struggle . The organs of Whiggery , in order to enlist recruits for one particular service , are damaging the "Whigs more than they are serving them . Their policy , once more , is to deceive the aristocracy by an assurance of the little that Lord Jon's Russell will attempt to effect beyond a mere repeal of the Corn Laws ; and to this fact , in a great measure , is tobe attributed that popular apathy which prevails throughout the country , as far as Lord John Russell is concerned . True , there is an

      excitement in the manufacturing districts ; but that excitement arises from the dread of old Toryism , rather than any love of Whiggery . There must be a deep-rooted hatred of pure Tory principles in the country , when the working-classes can be _brought to tolerate their old oppressors , and to mitigate their hostility to the League . Nevertheless , so it is , and , for ourselves , we are pleased to see it ; because , from it we learn the glad tidings that , afc length , Toryism is doomed , and must perish . And as we have often declared that the existence of three political parties in ihe State is incompatible with the existence ol " peace , law , and order , " we rejoice at the opportunity that now presents itself of destroying oneot those parties , and thereby confining our future struggles to the oppressors and the oppressed .

      . We have no other anticipation than that the hatred of Whiggery , made now moro manifest by the impossibility of that party forming an administration , will lead to one of two results—either the restoration of Peel , or thc supremacy of a pure , unmitigated Tory faction . Should the country be cursed with the latter alternative , we believe , in our conscience , that Ireland would rise as one man , while England and Scotland would not look tamely on at the scene ol confusion that must follow . A Whig government may govern Ireland by conferring patronage upon the Irish people . Sir _Roueri Peel , with one exception ,

      has governed Ireland by attempting to do justice to all ; while the Tory administration would look to their Tory brethren as their greatest strength . The foundation of the great changes made by Sir Robert Peel will be ripped up , and the Welmkg . toks , the _Wincuelseas , the _Buckikoiums , the Inglis ' , the M'Niels , and the _Maokes , would once more establish in its place the temple of Protestant ascendancy . While we highly approve of Mr . O'Coxkell ' s not consenting to surrender the Repeal question , or to put it in abeyance , we must dispute his

      policy in making the single question of a repeal ' of the Corn Laws tho condition of the restoration of the Whigs to power . Does he not see that thc bitter foe of England , Ireland , Scotland , and the world , is in the field , and does he not sufficiently understand their tactics to know that no _stono will be left unturned to secure their supremacy ? And does he not further know that there ia not _Bhflieient charm ia the name of "Whiggery to arouse the public mind to the extent necessary to save us from the tender mercies of Toryism ?

      "After a storm comes a calm , " and we would caution all parties who are now bidding for power against the dangers of re-action . We cannot undertake to say how the announcement of a Tory administration would be received either by Sir Robert Peel or Lord JohnRtosem ; but this ive do know , that it would be taken by the people as a declaration of war ; nor do . we rightly see our wayout of that labyrinth into which the resignation of Sir Robert PEEh has led us . The resistance of the landed aristocracy to a repeal of the Corn Laws is not to be measured by the feeble resistance they offered to the

      »,*Aas ¦Flllfr Bid Again, Lord John !!! ...

      Reform Bill . Ia the one ease they found perfect protection for what they now possess in the Chandos clause , and their majority in the Lords , while in the other case they will calculate that the repeal of the Com Laws is but the beginning of the end . In the one case they could estimate their loss with arithmetical precision , in the other case there is no scale by which they can measure their loss or their danger . We are sorry to be prophets when we foretell evil , but we adhere to our prophecy , a thousand times repeated , that the landlords of this country will hazard revolution rather than surrender the Corn Laws . The danger that we have ever ascribed to the change we still see . It is tho long period of confusion that must precede the settlement of the measure . We have asserted , and reasonably , that if the _^^ _^^ _•»• . T . __ JI . _ . _ . ___ . _ . __ . _ .. _¦ Xl _ . __ h _ . _ _. ___¦___¦«¦* _> J ____ . ________ _r __ . _»___ .

      price of bread does not fall , the measure fails in its effect . If it does fall wheat must fall ; and if wheat falls , land , that produces it , must fall , andthe free traders must not "lay the flattering unction to their souls , " that the landlords who have so long lived upon the plunder will not be able to estimate its loss . We believe that a repeal of the Corn Laws would bo followed by a tremendous fall in rents , until the question was finally settled * , while we also believe that , when settled , agriculture would progress with ten-fold rapidity . Why , then , do we dread the chaos , if so much good is to be thc result ? We dread it , because the parties , who anticipate the greatest benefit from the change , would be able to livG in idleness as spectators during the struggle ; while those who would ibe the immediate sufferers are

      unable to sustain a single week of idleness ; and yet , strange to say , notwithstanding the many phantoms that the storm presents to our minds , wc would bear them all with resignation rather than witness the ascendancy of a pure Tory government , or hear the howl of hunger ringing through this sea-bound dungeon . Therefore , if hunger does threaten us , and if the monster can be stayed in his march , and if there is still a greater monster ready to take advantage of the calamity , we say

      " Bid again , Lord John , " and , if you are not afraid of your own thunder , arrest the famine , and stay the monster's hand , by calling the people , instead of their oppressors , to your aid . Rely upon popular support , or depend upon it you will march out of office as quickly as you marched in , and a defeat now would seal the doom of you and Whiggery for ever .

      The Ministerial Crisis. [From The Globe ...

      THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS . [ From the Globe of Thursday evening , Dec . 18 th . ] "ffe regtet that we are not yet able to relieve the public anxiety with respect to the one great question which now fills every mind and occupies every tongue . Lord John Russell and tlie Marquis of Lansdowne arrived in town from Windsor about two o ' clock , and were shortly afterward ' , joined by several of the leading members ofthe Whig party . Nothing has as yet transpired as to the course wliich Lord John Kussell has decided on taking ; but it is still reported that the result will be an administration of which his lordship will be the Chief .

      The conduct of the retiring Ministry seems to strengthen this impression . Extraordinary activity has been exercised in all the government offices in providing places for expectants , by pensioning off the present occupants , wherever a decent excuse for doing so could be set up . This has been the case from the Lord Chancellor to the lowest official who had any place at his disposal . [ From the third edition of the Snn of Thursday evening . ] Lord John Russell went to Windsor at eight o ' clock last evening , accompanied by the Marquis of Lansdowne . Itwas generally understood that the visit of the Noble Lords was by the special command of her Majesty , and had reference to a communication made by Sir Robert Peel in the course of the day , that he was _wialle to reconstruct his Ministry if Lord John Russell should not accept office .

      Lord John Russell returned to _Cbesham-placo this morning , at twelve o ' clock . He was there met by the majority of the friends with whom he has been in communication for the last few days . A messenger was forthwith dispatched for I * rd Cottenham to 1 _' utney . The ex-Lord Chancellor speedily arrived , and until a quarter past three the whole party remained in consultation . Lord John Russell left shortly after that time for the Great Western Railway , en route to Windsor . A Queen ' s messenger has been in attendance to convey dispatches to her Majesty , but thc Noble Lord carried his own message .

      Lord John Russell returns at seven o ' clock this evening , and the result of his mission will then be _announced to hh friends , who are to re-assemble at that hour .

      Formation Of Awhig Ministry. [From The M...

      FORMATION OF AWHIG MINISTRY . [ From the Morning Chronicle . ] _Lonuon , Fiuday Morning , Dec , 19 th . —We are at length enabled to announce that Lord John Russell has undertaken the task of forming a Government . After theintervlew wlthhis friends yesterday , Lord John Russell went down to Windsor to communicate the result to her Majesty . Two or three "lists" of the New Ministry were handed about last night . It is enough for us to say that the Cabinet has not yet been formed . T hero are some of the appointments which may , of course , he anticipated with sufficient confidence , there can , we infer , he no doubt that Lord Cottenhara wiU be Chancellor ; Sir Thomas Wilde , Attorney-General ; that Mr . Pigott and Mr . Rutherford will re-oceupy their respective positions in Ireland and Scotland _; that Lord Palmerston will be foreign Secretary . Rumour assigns the Colonial-office to Earl Grey , and the Home-office to Lord Morpeth ; but none of the appointments referred to have yet , we believe , been actually made , while onl y some of ihrm can be considered certain .

      A Whig Ministry Not Yet Certain. Norther...

      A WHIG MINISTRY NOT YET CERTAIN . NORTHERN STAR Office , Saturday Morning , Deo . 20 , 18 t 5 . The Chronicle of this morning seems to be no way confident that Lord John Russell will be able to form a Ministry . The Chronicle says that even could the Whig leader " calculate upon the cordial support ofthe late Government , and upon the hearty and generous co-operation ofthe whole of his own party . It must stiU be a matter of grave doubt whether his lordship had such reasonable prospect of success as could alone warrant him in encountering the difficulties of the present crisis . It is only as the formation of a Cabinet progresses that these difficulties come to be full y developed ; and it is altogether uncertain whether they may not even yet terminate in Lord John Russell ' s abandoning the task upon whieh he had already entered . " The Times of this morning is still more explicit , and announces , that it is uot at all improbable , that the Queen will yet be obliged to send for Sir R . Peel again !

      The Times says : — " Lord John Russell has found the difficulties of his position greater than , even after a week ' s consideration , he had anticipated . At a meeting yesterday , at which all the chiefs of his party were present , so much disunion prevailed , and so much doubt as to the ultimate success of an Administration which would have at the outset to encounter in the House of Commons an immense adverse majority with the assistance only of the precarious support wliich Sir Robert Peel could afford , that it remains until this morn _, ing in doubt whether or not Lord John Russell will , after a more exact calculation of his strength , persevere in tintask he has undertaken , or resign the trust onee more into the hands of her Majesty , "
