      A fortnight ago , "PoffrMr . "Baine 3 ' ' endeavoured to balance a his present ujipopvlarit */ " "with Ms -former supporters , hy a refarance to Ms '' nnpopalar" opjio-Btion to "the " . -violent BadTc&ls of 1817—1813- * he legitimate progcEitors . of the Chartists and Socialists f acd so the " unpopular Mr .

"When '" Poor Mr . Baines" first undertook the management of tbe Leeds Afercufy . abunt the hegiri

      ningof the present century , the earlier stages of the Prench Revolution had been succeeded by an apparently Jtepahliean formof Government , to the result of which the attention of Europe in general , -and of Engla-d in particular , was directed with-an intensity of interest proportioned to its importance as the rallying point of dissatisfaction and disaffection in all countries , llr . Baines was then just -estabfishiughimself as a trader in pnblic grievances , and here "was s stock-in-trade ready mad * to his liands ; he had only to hold np ihel ' reneh regenerated farm of Government to public adEiiration , and tiato nnregenerated English form of Government , became not only a grievance but a nuisance by the force of «> ntrast ; he had but to keep np the excitement of this state of feeling by the force of"

      damnableltertation , and money flowed apace into the ilercurial treaarrr .: Herewas an end to be achieved ; indin * liberal , * as in Jesuitical practice , " the end ioth sanctify the means . " Bat it was not necessary that Mr . Baines should commit himself by the direct encouragement of EnglishrevohiUoafromthemoiiaTchical to the Republican form of Government , after the French model : it was the English Executive only that was always-wrong , and she French Executive that was always right . Jfapoleoa Bonaparte , tho . child of the Revolution , fras just then assuming that influence and power of command under the mere forma of the Republic , Tvhiehni&nately placed , him on the throne of Imperial despoasm ; and . Napoleon Bonaparte became not only the grand foil in the hands of Mr . Baines

      for abuse of the English Government , but the neverfailing theme of his slavish adulation . ¦ : - To what extent , and in what strain of language ibis double Appeal to the passions of his readers was earned at that time , and for a dozen years after-¦ wards , Teaders"wouM form a very inadequate notion from " the comparatively tecond-childaood strain- of the Ltcds Mercury of the present < lay . Mr . Baises is now a mere Tfthig supporter through thick and thin of a WMg-patronage dfepensmg Government . What he -reas then , before the contnuations of his disciples and dupes had found their way to a SuS-< aeni extent into his own pocket to make him feel that he had something to risk by public convulsion , - we might hardly venture to descrioe ; but 3 Whig of that Civ , ihe hUo George Tierney , in his character of the Heformca-sin 1803 , tas saved us the trouble : —

      "It was tnfiT ueeue to raise a popular ferment by telkiBg of abuses which often had no existence . It was tSeir pim to raise & cry by "whitJs . ihe . infoftialed yeop ! e * ti $ ht bs hurried on io their new , by hinting ^ j cor . rnpfions -Krlrich never had existence , and rousins expectations whidi aever could bs gatifiod . " Ill 1809 , ill . Baines professed himself one of itstt clas of l&e&rmers to whoca this l&r-gaage this applied ; and wail did he merit his share of the distinction . 1810 sad 1811 witnessed no abatement of his zeal , and no moderation in hi 3 tone » In-1812 , -the excitement came to its height : the privations ol the working classes , arising from general causes , ¦ were a 3 gmenKHl in this district by the introduction of Cloih-dresshig Machinery ; the " suffering parties toot the redress of their grievances into thevr own

      liands : they murdered one of their employera . destroyed the property of others , and threatenea alL The ratcral consequences followed : tho ringleaders -were tried by special commission at York , and seventeen ^ lives were imominioaslv sacriScea to the offenaed majesty of the law . 2 We know very well how anxiousl y Mr . Baincs ¦ vroald now , in 1839 , xepudiats the charge made agam £ S him in 1812 , that these proceedings were ths rataral Tesah of his otth system of agitation for Tears up to that time . Wo know very well that Mr . JJainea has Jearnt sbiee 1812 to rcsognisi a distinction between the crime of-iaKrderingaTory ^ gentlexoan , and'the atrocity of charing aTRcforiEr wiih xcastinghiB Bible ; although at that time , the " Religious Intolerance " of the atrocity was held bv the JieroiTif to be just feiriy . balancea bv tho political

      Justice of the crime . We can well imagine the anxiety of Mr . Jnstice Baines ^ Tvhen he mounts the bench of West-Biding magistrates in 1839 , to forget—and to make others forget : if-he conld—that &om tuai Terr Bench , Sir Joseph Radeliffe , the most active magistrate of 1812 , and ih « one most conTerant irith ihe history of these outrages , denounced the Leeds Mercury as the cause of all the mischief ; and , ** iast not least , " we cannot be surprised if the 1 LP . for Leeda , in 1839 , should stili attempt to . throw discredit cpan the dying declaration attributed to Mellor , the Luddite , at York , in 1812— "had I suecer read the Leeds J ^ fercury I should not have been Itere . " '" Poor Sir . Barnes , " M . P ^ -when you itext P&y ? occasion" to denounce Chartism and agitation in 1839 , pray do yonr very best to sink all remembrance of the Mercury and agitation in

      Bat weiave not yet done with Mr . Baines in his former character of an admirer of Bonaparte—a character which he sustained just so long ^ s it was Bkelv to pay , and has since changejl for that of ultra-Puritanical defender of conscientious relipous scruple , particularly in the matter of marrfageforms . Some time about 1809—we have not the ex-» cs data ai hand—the areh-enemy of England ^ and ther € ibre arch-object of Mr . Barnes ' s most eulighteced and patriotic aduladon , got tired of his ¦ ffife Josephine , and longed for a young Princess of the Imperial House of Austria . Of course , Napoleoa had but to will and to command : Josephine vas cast 0 % and Maria Louka reigned Empress in her stead . Pretty strong practice , this , one would -thai , &t the approbation and digestion of a parti-. colarly scrcpulons and delicately sensitive cdnscienes . We quote , then , the commentaiT upon the fact which appeared in the Leeds Mercury of the

      time : — *• The alleged , and we belieVe ihe real cause for ihis separation , is a wish on the part of Napoleon to have a son , that ,, educated under his paternal instroesion , may inherit all his father ' s virtues , and enter into all his views . Whether Josephine ' s surlender of the Emperor to the arms of another is a ¦ voluntary or compulsory act , we do not stop to inquire . The Emperor wills it , and the happiness of France , to whicn he is ever ready to sacrifice the aweetest affections of his heart , requires it ?'

      THE CONDITION OF THE RADICALS . An unusual hush now stills Ho wotM of polities . On mere party qu ^ tions , the ma » y-niouthed politician—thopeople—is omiaously siient . In England , only a few dropping shots from . the retreating O'Connorites mark their whereabouts ; while in Ireland , a solitary growl to the " hereditary bos » dsmen " betimea comes out from Derrynane Abbey , to let us know that its tenant yet lives for rent and repeal . Reformers of all shade 3 are alike stilled . ** Thinp as they are , " did we judge merely from present appearances , bid fair to remain so . The questions which filled the pnblic mouth four years ago have , one by o . e , been allowed to drop out of aght—Peerage Reform , Church Reform , Irish Municipal Reform , Vote by Ballot , and many more ; they have all ceased of late to occupy any prominent share of public-: attention . Tho ohief questions whieh now aj > i > car to be interesting are Bocial or religious oaes—the Anti-Corn Law movement is an instance of the first , the pro and Anti-Catholic movement of the second .

      The Tories , have vot been inattentive observers of thisappareut political suspension of parties . They perceive that the Whig cry which usod to operate eo magically—^ Kiey come ! they come !"—is now of little or ao avail with the popular party . TL « more eager of their faction shout " reaction ! " and can scarcely be restrained from rushing in upon office , and carryiag it by storm . The more wary and experienced , however , see in this very silouce somethisg extremely omiaous of danger ; and fearful of / rousing the people by a forvrard step , into action , pursue the more safe and expedient course of politicalqaie ' ude and inactivity . The truth is , a strong under current of opinion at present pervades society , of a far more portentous nature tsan the msre surface agitation of factions

      aad parties , which float and sink by turns , as the tideor the eddy of events may bear thorn . There is aground -ETrell Of opinion , if we may so « peak , which is felt , more or less , by all parties , and indicates the presence throughout society of a mighty though invisible agent . Tac relative position ofpartiesrwiU not affect it , because it exists and operates independent of them . Party is its consc-quence , not its cause : it is bat one of the straws which serve as if to measure the Torse and rapidity of the current—not a ' power dtaer to direct or controul it . And whence arises this commotion—this power which so agitates society to its very centre ! It is the fruit of knowledge—of tho p ^ roce ^ s of opening the eyes of the masses , which has De « u taking place at so rapid f rate duriag th 9 last twenty years or more .

      It arises from the consciousness growing upon them of their hoeing minds ; and of tiieir being entitled ' to equal rights as men , and equal rights as citizens . Tho strife that is now going on , is between the new and the old elements of power—between mind on the one hand , and wealth and hereditary privilege on the other . It is a struggle between the majority seekicg to rise i-a th « scale of society and the minority striving to keep them down , for the effectual preservation of their monopolies of wealth and power . The former are the Radicals iii society—the latter are the Conservatives or anti-Reformers . It i = a most vain notion , however , on the part of those who think that any re-action towards lVryism is takbig place , because of the present lull in

      political agitation , ine producing causes ot Radicalism are every day accumulating inintenaity aud number ; and till the-ehe removed , it must of neccssirv go on a < iaing to its strength and stature . The trua mode of measuring its power io society is , to compare ihe number of the privileged with that of tho unprivileged ; and as the one or the other prepoideratc in number , so will their relative strength be . li"he unprivileged are , and will always be , tho natural Radicals of every country . Their power will be proportionate to their knowledge , and their success proportionate to both . A glanco at the cou > tituent parts of the Radical body—aJ the elements which go to form it—will sufficiently indicate the sources of its strength—a strength everpoweriug , when united , to every other party which cau be brought agaiiis-t it . Its iirsx importance element lies in the middle class . Although political agitation has left them almost undisturbed of late , it must not therefore be inferred that their inactivity proceeds from anything

      like "re-action" on behalf of Conservatism . The great majority of tbe middle ranks of all degrees and conditions are on the side of Radical ClUXGE . They Lave nothing to gain by Conservatism . They have no community of interest with the privileged . Almost all of them fed uneasy . They are sensible of numerous oppressions which they -wish to get rid of , did they know how . They are conscious of the iniquitie 3 of the present aristocratic governing system ; and feel its pressure too unreinittuigly , not to be keenly alive to the necessity of a Radical Reform . But here they stop . They complain , sometimes urgently , of the abuses in Church and State : but they will not , or dare not , appl / the remedy . They are Dissenters and Voluntaries , yet will not move a peg to rid themselves of that jviammoji-nionster , the State Church . They are Badicals , yet will scarce stir a finger for the removal of those aristocratic institutions which oppress and afflict all the industrious classes of the community .

      Much of this is probablv to be referred to the . novelty of their position . They are yet afraid , as it were , to exert iheir energies . They were trained to the exercise of their pre » # nt functions in slavish obse < juiency to the aristocracy ; and as yet the old fear clings to them , clogging their independence , and restraining their freedom of political action . Nor is it to be concealed that a great proportion of , the middle classes are as yet excessively ignorant , as well as superstitious . Their new notions are perpetually coming into contact with their old prejudices ; their respect for freedom clashing with their obsequieney to rank and birth ; thsir consciousness of newly acquired strength merging into their

      old habits of servitude and submission ; their external liberality contrasting strongly with their conscions weakness and meanness . Tins is especially the case iu those country towns where the middle classes yet aflow themselves to serreas the mere tools of the aristocratic cmlomers' which hem them in on every side . When they perceive that profit and&bject subserriencyarepiaeedin theonescaie , and independence and pecuniary loss in the other—who heed wonder if the base consideration often preponderates , when the ingredients which go to foriniheir characters—ignorance , credulity , aristocratic superstition , and foolish vanity—are duly weighed and estknated ? " ¦ . "

      ..-Yet even with these drawbacks , the great body Of ihe middle classes is o j the side of the . Radicals , The thinking part of them , the really independent , the bold , and the honest , assuredly are—those who value freedom , j and are prepared to make sacrifices for it—those * who know their duty , and knowing ,, dare , to do it ; these _ are all Radical in heart and spirit . ¦ " Their fault * and errors are in a great measure . incidental to their position . They 'are in a stats . of mental asweil as political transition —frem " servitude -to freedom , from Ignorance-io knowledge . yMany of them will cure , and those who will not , will dieout—their places beinjf . ' niled . upVbj a new race ^ more ardent and hopeful ^ n behalf of the good - cause than thesiselves , ' and with Ies 3 of the old mud of class prejudice an * political

      Bnbsernency clinging to their free Tsouls . y Ihat the middle dasses have already made the . most rapid progress , no one can deny . Their minds , are now just shaking themselves free of prcjndice ; unmeaning words have lost much of their wonted 'influence . over them ; and the baitedj hook of ignorance afid credulity ceases to catchvthem as it used to do . rhey have already shot far a-head of the political finality notions ") of the Whig Lord who , assumes to be their mouth-piece . ' -It is precisely because aheir opinions are . leaving the old polhical track of party and faction , " that-they are now as if luliedinto quiet and inaction . And-events vrill ere lone : prove that this is neither to be attributed to Torv reaction ,-nor political Tetrocession . Opinion 13 merely ripening , and this is necessary ere we can gather in its fruits in an abundant harvest .

      But the great mass of the Radical Reformers is to be found among the Operative classes . They are , and erer will ba , the natural Radicals of er « rv —mm

Every day they are becoming more intelligent— . morp conscious of their claim to the birthrights of men—and more capable of organization and co-operation for their mutual advancement , than before . Nature iB oh their side too ; every proclamation of the banns in church proclaims the iacrease of their strength ; orery marital engagement is a pledge to add to tho number of tho I ^ adical Reformers .

      empire . . _ . ... ... . It is a gross error , therefore , to imagine that the present Ml among the working classesis to be attributed to any thing liko " reaction" towards Conservatism . The fawaiag toadies which form the tilings , called "Operative Conservative Associations , " are the dregs of their class—no matter what the estimation in which they are held by their Tory employers . They have all the meanness of the slave who would oifer the whip to his drivor , for the punishment of a fellow serf . They are soul-loss bondsmen , wanting in the innate nobility of ths-maa , but like the patient ass licking the tend that smites them . Not eo are the mass of tho educated artisans , else should wo blush for them indeed . Their present inaction is the very reverse of Conservatism . They are brooding in silence over their wrongs , but not in despair . Opinion is ripening among them : thev are but taking a breathing time which will avail them-when the day of trial comes . —Times .
