Conservative Prospects-Ten years of
the Reform movement having proved
that it was undertaken with the view
of only strengthening the Whig party,
and the evident policy of that party
being the yielding up all the institu-
tions of the country to uphold the
revolutionay movement, the desire
gains ground for a Conservative Go-
vernment, 406-the reasonableness of
this expectation may be shown by
a consideration of these two particu-
lars, 1st, the reality and the urgent form
of that public necessity which at
present calls for the return of a Con-
servative Government, may be seen,
first, in the public danger of the con-
nexion between Mr O'Connell and the
Ministry, 407-regarding which there
are strong arguments for rejecting his
co-operation; 1, in his power over the
government existing in defiance of
that general horror lurking through-
out the public mind; 2, in his power
existing in defiance of the most solemn
records, emanating from the Whigs
themselves, in denunciation of its cha-
racter and its application; 3, in his
project of the repeal having now be-
come seditious; and 4, in his agitation
having hitherto operated upon Ire-
land pacific, but in the probability of
its operating soon on Ireland bellige-
rent, 412.-and, secondly, in the elec-
toral innovation of Lord Morpeth's
Irish Registration Bill, 414.-Sir Ro-
bert Peel will resume office amidst

Whig Ministry, the--the announcement
of this Ministerial project has aroused
the indignation of the most important
classes of the community, 705-the
events of the last five years con-
vince us that the Conservative feeling
is more deeply rooted in the country
than superficial observers imagine, and
the reasons why, stated, ib.-the recent
proposals of the Ministry have thrown
into the shade their previous conduct
on the Irish Registration Bills, 707—
their vacillating conduct in regard
to those bills described, ib.-in order
to regain the lost affections of some
of their adherents, the Budget was
brought forward, 709-when exten-
sive changes are proposed for our
adoption, they are received by the
country either on the personal confi-
dence reposed in the men who pro-
pose them, 710-or on the propriety
of the measures themselves, ib.-it is
difficult to tell whether the Budget
has been brought forward with the
special view of restoring the revenue,

or the relief and prosperity of the
country, ib.the financial difficul
ties are attributable to three causes,
1st, the rebellion in Canada, which
the Ministry evidently fomented by
a false and factious Liberalism, 711-
2nd, the Chinese question, which, by
the appointment of Captain Elliot,
they have grossly mismanaged, 712
-and, 3d, the post-office affair, by
which they have relinquished a safe
source of revenue by relieving those
of a tax who were quite able to bear
it, ib.—an unmeaning cry has been
raised on one or two points; the one
is on the remodelling of the tariff,
which would require much abler heads
than those of the Ministry to adjust, to
existing circumstances, ib.-the other
is the declamation about free trade,
and what the true meaning of that
term is, explained, ib.-are the pro-
posed changes then certain to be inno-
cuous to the interests of the com-
munity? the burden of proving the
affirmative lies with the Ministry,
713-the manufacturing classes, alone
appear to be consulted in the matter,
714-but it is the young only even in
those classes that countenance the

reckless prosecution of free-trade
commerce, to the manifest injury of
the other interests of the country, ib.
the working classes have not the slen
derest interest in the matter, 715—
there are special grounds on which
these projects should be condemned,
as inequitable and mischievous, in so
far as they affect our colonial posses-
sions, and first, in regard to the West
Indies, 716-next in regard to Cana.
da, 718-and as to the corn-laws, the
fixed duty proposed by the Ministry
is only calculated to injure the home
grower, without conferring any bene-
fit on the consumer, on an average of
years, ib.-may such a Ministry be
never again entrusted with the admi-
nistration of this country? 719.
