PORTRAIT OF CUFFEY .

THE TREASON GOVERNMENT .
"ThereIs bat a st-p between the rldloulous and theiabllma . " It is not our intention to swell bull-frog Wljig Felony into sincere and patriotic Treason ; no , their treason merits no such distinction ; but having traced them from felony to rebellion , it now becomes our duty , as loyal subjects to the constitution , to arraign them before an unprejudiced tribunal of High Treason , undistinguished by the high attribute of devotion and patriotism . In the case of
Cuffey ann others , the evidence of their coadjutors , the cunning of their official , and the energy of their Judge , convicted them of the crime of Conspiracy and Felony ; while the evidence of Dobbins and his associates , at Clonmel , convicts them of having fomented the Irish Rebellion ; and , to their shame be it spoken , the letter of Tom Young , of the Home Office , and Private Secretary to Lord Melbourne , Prime Minister to William ; IV ., addressed officially , and no doubt written officially , to General Napier , convicts them even beyond the hope of mercy , of High Treason .
Can we write without a pang—can we think without a blush—of the position to which those unhappy rriscreants have reduced not only themselves , but the disrepute they have cast upon the administration of justice in this country ? Our readers will bear in mind , that the disclosure of General Napier , so timely , so honourable , and so damning to the conspirators , was not a secret to us . This gallant officer not only refused to become a party " to Whig Treason in 1832 , but he used his knowledge of the mode of carrying the Reform Bill as the means of savins' Frost and h \ a fla < j « pj .
ates from the gallows . The present Chief Baron , Sir Frederick Pollock , who defended fZrA ° ? ! ' ! f ty impassion towards his client , made three unsuccessful EL ™ * Si T * Mini 8 t « H wtn Lord Brougham still clinging to hope / . induced him to makea fourth application , which , W ™ , was equally unsuccessful ; when , by a lucky ^ accident , an express arrived from General Napier informingtheWhig Mini thaUf the sentence upon Frost was e _™ Ll 2 Vf would then divulgelthe act of WKg ? teLon which has remained a secret until ffiiscC

^ - fc—1^—_¦_^ M ^ gaily stolen portmanteau of Smith O'Brien , nevertheless , the ghost of the self-destroyed Colonel Brereton , of the 14 th Dragoons , must haunt the traitors , as many of his most intimate friends are well aware that that gallant officer was forced to the commission of suicide by the neglect of duty , to which he was urged by the traitor Whigs when Bristol was in flames . How often , and how trul y , have we charged these traitor conspirators with fostering the power—the delusivcpower—of Daniel O'Connell , as long fas that power was made the instrument of Whig strength ; and how indig-.. . ____ __ 1 ] < ' I ! ' ,
nant were the traitors , when Sir Robert Peel and his Government , not haunted by the dread of the living Napier or the ghost of the departed Brereton , sought to make the archconspirator amenab ! eto the law ; and how their majority , in the last appeal , declared the law to be " a mockery , a delusion , and a snare , ' ' when wielded against their own coadjutor ; while , now that they fill the Treasury Benches , we find every official , from the judge to the informer , not only active , but zealous in the suppression of evidence calculated to convict their patrons . The Irish Press has been all but annihilated ; while , in 1832 , the chief organ of the " , Whigs recommended the embodiment of a National \ ; ' '
Guard to carry the Reform Bill ; while , with characteristic prudery , but miserable tact , the same treason-fomentor in 1848 assures us that what was meant by a National Guard in 1832 was to consist , not of a Garde Mobile , but of a juste milieu corps , to be armed , and hold the balance of power between the aristocracy and democracy of England . They were to be bottle holders to the Whigs , and umpires between the head and tail of society . Their duty was to take the necessary precaution that the artistocracy should not revolt against the national will—that the national will should
not revolt against the oligarchy ; but , according to the old school-boy custom , they , as umpires , should hold the garter , and the belligerents should fight it out without closing . However , the one sentence quoted from the " Times" by Mr Whiteside , will serve but as the index to the volume of" Times" treason in 1832 , as we propose to furnish our readers with a more complete hash from the cold larder of Printing House-square . Our readers will peruse the letter of General Napier with surpassing interest ; while , mayhap , Powell—like the present Prime Master—will deny all participation with the antiquated Melbourne ; and
a greater latitude of pleading will be allowed to him than in the English felony and Irish treason cases . But if , as laid down by the Judges , the whole evidence is to be taken in connexion , then , we would ask , how the present little gentleman will divest himself of responsibility , criminality , and conspiracy , when he reads his letter of thanks to the 150 , 000 Brummagem sympathisers , who were also ready to take the field ? And how will the gallant General , the member for Westminster , translate his words to a Whig Judge and a packed Jury , in which he declared his readiness to march a hundred
thousand armed men upon London ; of course a detachment of the ^ National Guard , to act as umpires between the democracy and the oligarchy ? With these startling facts now staring us in the . face , inculpating men filling the highest offices of the State , it is almost needless to comment upon the evidence upon which Smith O'Brien has been convicted . We have set it forth at length , together with what the " Times'' calls the impartial charge of the Chief Justice ; and we would ask the most partial—nay , the greatest Whigipartisan , whether , throughout , the Ben « Vas not acted as the tool of * i « is -- •• ' -yt . } . v . ortip
sdnunistratoi . n ~* ^ ^ e . cially call attbuiion to tne A » o V is s * . ica tic have before adverted—namely , the difficulty , if not the impossibility , of refuting the evidence of a hired perjured informer . A respectable man , upon seeing the evidence adduced against Smith O'Brien , and conscious of his ability to refute it , was about to start for Clonmel when he was arrested and tried for high treason . Such was the treatment of Mr Tranton , who was allowed to remain at liberty until the eve of his departure , although , if at all implicated in the Whig rebellion , his criminality must have been known to the Arguseyed officials of Dublin Castle , who , nevertheless , as in the case of Cuffey and others , did
HESITATE until his arrest was considered necessary for the conviction of O'Brien . Again , with regard to the evidence of Dalton , with whom the villain Dobbins was confronted , can anything be more satisfactory than the character , the evidence , and demeanour of that young gentleman ? while the" Times '' would throw disrepute upon him in consequence of the ahabbinesp of his dress , and because so great was . his excitement that he frequently required a drink of water . This young gentleman produces the most unquestionable character from one of the Jury , in whose family he has lived as private tutor for two years ; he gives the most faithful and simple account of his every day , h {< » every place of lodging , his means and mode of life—but his dress is shabby , and he required « drink of water !
Now , let us see if we can furnish the " Times" with a precedent for wardrobe and thirst . Plunkett , the late Chanceller » f Ireland , was a pensioner in Trinity College—was educated , fed , and clothed by charity . M Ghee , the late archbishop of Dublin , was also a pauper student . Curran , the luminary of his country , was what is termed in Ireland " A POOR SCHOLAR ;" -he tramped the country barefoot , and begged the means to procure pen , ink , and paper , and lived upon charity ; and when he became Master of the Rolls , neither his former thirst ' or garb was urged against his efficiency . Eldon was a butcher's
son , and subsequently became the keeper of his King ' s , conscience . Sir John EUey was a barefooted peasant , when he enlisted in the King's army , and afterwards became a General officer . Cobbett was a labourer and private soldier , and became a Member of Parliament . It was the boast of John Fielden in the House of Commons , that he had worked at the loom in infancy ; and has it not been the eternal boast of this new organ of Whig Treason , that the course of promotion is open to all under our free constitution , while a young gentleman of unimpeachable character and admitted acquirements , is damned for his poverty and his thirst ? :
We have only cited instances of men having sprung . from mean attire to the ermine , the woolsack , and the uniform—and now turn we to the * grave and more oft-repeated charge of THIRST , " "MORE WATER , " "ANOTHER DRINK , " and "WATER AGAIN . " For this we can also furnish a precedent . When Ravens , the Poor Law Commissioner , was examined before the Land Committee a Page
, was appointed to supply this burning official with water . His examination was constantly stopped till a fresh supply arrived ; and , instead of thirst being made the grounds of suspicion , the impartial Judge Advocate attributed it to LAUDABLE EXCITEMENT . But one was a faithful witness for the traitor , and the other was a faithful witness for the tool .
Whatever may be the fate of O'Brien , the traitor Whigs may rest assured that they have no £ yet heard the last of their Felony , Rebellion , and Treason , either in England or Ireland—as the English arid the Irish , once goaded to vengeance ; by acts of such deep and damnable treachery , will rise in their majesty and might , and set themselves but one task—all other business for the present beiner laid aside
—and that is the utter annihilation of the Whig traitors . They may gloat over their victims—th « ir Chancellor may hug himself in the fond hope that he has established good grounds for another appeal to fcthe loyalty of John Bull—but we have made but a wrong estimate of the representatives of that animal , if they do not insist upon an explanation oi Napier ' s letter , Russell ' s letter , Brereton ' s

ever from th&n . They are too much split up into coteries , and isolated from each other , to be capable of effecting any practical change ; and if they were not 80 , the nature of their crotchets , and the selfishness of their principles , would only cause them to do more mischief , in additiofl |' -to what they have done already . . : ;"' The great and crying want of the age is , a representation of the people—a party in Parliament representing the people—not classes , and particular interests , The Landed Interest , the Railway Interest , the Colonial Interest , the Banking Interest ,, the Manufacturing Interest , the Commercial Interest , the Lawyer Interest —all are represented in Parliament save
onethe Labour Interest , which supports all the others . Until this monstrous anomaly is remedied , we shall neither have just nor cheap government , nor will discontent with unjust and dear government be put down . The Whigs must not lay the flattering unction to their souls that , because they have secured verdicts in the recent trials for political offences , that , therefore , the spirit out of which these offences originated is destroyed . Not so . The social and political evils which gen erated disaffection , yet press with intolerable severity on the great bulk . of the community , and until they are removed , no verdicts—no amount of mere repressive force , can give peace or security to society .

OASTLER FOR THE WEST-RIDING .
A vacancy in the representation of the West-Riding has been caused by the death of the Earl of Carlisle , and the consequent elevation of Lord Morpeth , his eldest son , to the House of Peers . It will be interesting to see whether that great constituency still holds by the economical creed which induced them to send Mr Richard Cobden to Parliament .
Short as 'jthe time is ' which has elapsed since his election , it has been sufficient to show the fallacious and injurious character of the policy of whioh » Mr Cobden has been the chief advo « cate and upholder . Whatever may be the dependence of Manchester , and Lancashire ge . nerally , on foreign markets , the trade of Yorkshire is mainly dependent upon a good home demand , and thai has not been created by Mr Cobden ' s measures . They have failed , and the free trade Coryphwus has brought forward nothing better to supply their place . He seems to have had but one idea in his head , and that disposed of , || he is " used up , " and practically laid ob . the shelf .
We observe by an article in the " Morning Past , " that an intention exists of contesting the Representation of the Riding with tht FreeTiaders and Manchester men who have foisted Mr Cobden upon Yorkshire . Our old friend . Richard Oastler , the " King Dick'' £ of the Factory child , is talked of as the man selected to head a movement in favour of native industry and common sense , in opposition to the " buy-cheap and sell-dear" policy of Messrs Gripeall and Co . It is unnecessary te say , that on many vital questions we totally differ from Mr Oastler , but we do believe that the honest and hard-handed Labourer would find a true and warm-hearted Representative in him , and on that ground alone we should
be happy to see him in Parliament . Besides his , however , it appears to us that a period of re-action—adverse to the false , foolish , and mischievous theories of the Free Trader—ia fast approaching , and it would be of immense value to have an exponent of the reasons ] and grounds of that re-action , so well qualified to do justice to ( the subject , and so fully ao quainted with it in aU its bearings , as Mr Oastler . We shall watch with deep interest the progress of that contest , if it brings into direct collision the representatives of two principles so completely opposed to each other , as those represented by Mr Cobden and Mr Oastler .

STATE OF POLITICAL PARTIES . Lord George Bentinck ' s sudden death will most probably cause considerable change in the future construction and relative positions of parties in Parliament . While he lived to animate the Protectionists by his unswerving adherence to principle , undaunted courage , arid unwearied perseverance , there was no chance of a reunion of the severed sections of the ] great Conservative party , formed by Sir R . Peel . The" much-lamented Protectionist leader had almost 'all the qualities that
could be possibly desired for the situation , whatever may be thought of his general knowledge , Jor his ^ acquaintance with matters which are all-important to ^ the school of official red-tapists , who presume to call themselves statesmen . There was a thorough and hearty honesty—a straightforwardness of purpose , and a frank and fearless manner of calling things by what appeared to him their right names , which peculiarly fitted him for leading an English Jand a " Country Party . "

' . \ '• -- Jr « v e tf-Mi if . 80 bkMu a time . Some time before his death , the " Morning Chronicle , " which is understood to be the organ of the Peelite section of the Conservatives , made ^ evident overtures for a reconciliation , which were promptly repudiated by the " Herald" and '' Post , ' on behalf of the adherents te Protection ; although they admitted that the statejof the country , under
Whig misrule , was such as to render the driving them [ fronf office a matter ' of national importance and necessity . There the matter apparently rested—no progress towards a junction having been made . Since the decease of Lord George , however , renewed signs of an agitation with this view are observable , and it is not improbable but that it may be ultimately attained .
We infer this from the very earnestness with which the more extreme and honest members of the . Protectionists disclaim all idea of again serving under the Parliamentary leader who , as they think , betrayed thej cause into the hands of the Free Traders . At a recent agricultural meeting in Essex , Sir J . Tyrrell and Major Beresford , the Members for the county , both alluded , at great length , to the irreparable loss which Lord George ' s death had inflicted on the Protectionists . Sir John said"It is impossible to say what will be the result tojthe Country Party , " ; and to | the country genetally , ! in the endeavour to fill up the void created by that loss . All I can say—and I do so individiially--i 9 , that no earthly
consideration shall ever induce me to rally again under the head and leadership of Sir Robert Peel . " Thia'declaration was received with loud cheers ; and when Major Beresford—after giving some interesting ^ details as to the way in which the late leader of the Party devoted himself to his work—stated his ' coincidence in the views of his colleague , the applause was renewed . The very fact of the necessity for such open declarations , shows that something is stirring in the straw , and that a re-construction of Parties is'probable . This may take place without causing Sir John Tyrrell , and members of that class , to falsify the statement that they will never again rally under the head and leadership of Sir R . Peel . " Iftis generally believed , that the ex-Premier has no wish to resume the
active duties of office ; but the junior members of his Party are not- equally disinclined to occupy the Treasury benches . They possess , as a body £ considerable business talent and aptitude , and if they could prevail on the other section of the Conservative Party to join them , the Whigs would speedily be driven from place . But , though Sir R . Peel might neither have a seat in the Cabinet , nor a place in the Government , his would be the ruling mind , in the case of such a combination , He woul < pull the strings which moved the puppets , and
virtually the Protectionist Party would again come under his leadership . This is the more likely to happen when we look at the composition of that Party , and the few men in it who havejshown any official aptitude , or power to form and direct Party combinations . Mr Dis « raeliis , and was , unquestionably , the ablest man , intellectuallyjjgpeaking , among them ; but he neither / possesses the personal and here * ditary standing required by the Party in its leader , nor are , his political opinions of that plain and fixed character which are peculiarly required for the " Country Party . " They admired him as the brilliant orator and friend of
Lord George Bentinck , but they will hesitate long before they instal him in the vacant place of that nobleman . In the forthcoming Parliamentary campaign , therefore , the Protectionists must either submit-to carry on a guerilla kihd ^ of warfare , in which every man will , like the Smith in Scott ' s novel , " ; fecht for his ain hand , " or merge into the more compact , better disciplined , and really more able , though small , section of Peelites .
Anything which in the remotest degree promises to emancipate the country from Whig despotism and misrule will , we are certain , be joyfully hailed by the nation at large . Whatever defects any other Government mirfit have , it would have this crowning excellence-that it put an end to an Administration which has shown itself throughout powerless for fgood and strong only in its capabilities and disposi . tion to do evil . As for theWhig-Radical and the Free Trade sections of Parliament , we have no hope what-

THE REVENUE .
The quarterly official statement of the Revenue , issued this week , shows an increase of receipts , as compared with the preceding quarter , of £ 7 / 2 , 296 . The last quarter ' s tables presented a decrease both on the quarter and the year . In the return just issued the decrease on , the year , as compared with 1847 , is £ 308 , 183 . Last year , however , it will be remembered , was a peculiarly disastrous one ,
and therefore , though the revenue is , this quarter , nearly three-quarters of a million more than the corresponding quarter of 1847 , it is still more than half a million under the same quarter of 1846 . The increase arises from the Customs , Excise , Taxes , and Crown-lands , in all of which the ] receipts { have augmented , while there has been a considerable falling off in Stamps , Property and Income Tax , and Miscellaneous . The Post Office revenue is less by £ 1 , 000 .
More than one-half of the ' augmented revenue , this quarter , has been derived from duties levied on the importation of foreign corn , under Sir R . Peel ' s-Transitional Act . This duty will cease on the 1 st of February next , when the foreign corn ( grower will bring his grain to market on the same footing as the Kent or Yorkshire farmer , and that source of revenue will be cut eff ; whether our own heavily taxed farmers and labourers will be able to " make up the deficiency , when they have to enter into a more keen competition with the lightly-taxed foreigner , we leave to
the common sense of our readers to determine . One thing is quite certain , that when the present duties on foreign corn are taken off , there will , ; be a reduction in the produce of Customs duties of probably a million and a half or two millions per annum , and that , added to the deficiency announced by Sir Charles Wood in his laet Budget , will make a very pretty item for John Bull to look : at . Our inimitable Chancellor of the Exchequer Bill then have to borrow at the rate of five millions a year to make up the deficiency , instead of two miilions and a half . In the meantime , the Ministerial journals make the most of the improvement ia the quarter ' s revenue , and venture on predic-«* V * - "s tc f' ^' T * rrsfflwity , wbicJ ?«? et * t

For our own part , we lee no symptoms of this in the accounts as to the state of trade in all the principal industrial districts . Trade seems smitten with a general paralysis , and appears to us as if it would grow worse , instead of better , for some time to come . As to our foreign pros * pects , it is admitted even by the Free Trade journals , that they are anything but cheering , andjthat , in the meantime , the Home Trade is the best one for Manchester .

THE SPY DAVIS . Our attention has been directed to a portion of the examination of Davis , at the Old Bailey , on the 2 / th ult ., which had escaped our notice . The following appeared in the " Times" report , and we believe only in the " Times : " The resolution respecting the » Luminaries" w ? s adopted on ' . the 14 th , at the Orange Tree * * At the same time the editor of the Northhm . Star came to makea statement in oonseque-ce of a charge eaid to bare bean made against him of being a spy . He was tuned out .
Either this story about " the editor of thb ' Northern Star'" is a lying invention of the fellow Davis , or the reporter wilfully , or by nustake . thas mis-stated the informer ' s words . Neither Mr O'Conner , nor anyperson engaged editorially upon this paper , was ever at tke Orange Tree , nor knew anything of the meetings held there until the evidence of the spies appeared in the daily newspapers . About the time of the arrests a person employed by Mr O'Connor to take reports of meetings in the metropolis was accused of having some connexion with the police , and was thereupon
discharged from Mr O'Connor ' s service ; perhaps that person is the party spoken of by Davis . But if so that person was merely connected with this paper as " a reporter , and could not have called himself editor of the Northern Star . The " Editor'' is an invention for which either Davis , or the careless , if not unscrupulous reporter of the " Times" is responsible . The Editor of the" Nirthern Star , " never was at the Orange Tree ; never to bis knowledge saw Davis ; and was totally ignorant of that person ' s infamous proceedings until divulged by himself . It may be well to add , that the person we have alluded to as having been employed as a reporter for the •« Star , " is not Mr Stallwood , against whom suspicion | has never breathed a word of dishonour .
