Is this enough ? We have extracted so much in

order not to leave a doubt on the subject. The circulation of the papers from, which the extracts have been made, is already very great, and is daily increasing. Why not "put down" those papers? First, you cannot put them down : they are published now in defiance of the law, and your efforts to " put them down " have greatly added to their circulation. Secondly, if you could extinguish these papers, would not the result probably be action instead of' reading, and in the sense of these papers? The danger is not in the papers, but in the disposition of the people to read such Tapers; That disposition springs from a belief amongst the readers, that the Government is lending itself to a defeat of the Reform Bills ; and the belief arises from the delay. This, the delay, is the original source of the many evils which threaten the whole country. When the worst evils cone, it will be a poor consolation to see those who blindly created those evils the first victims.

In the name of the well-disposed middle classes, we call on Ministers to break up the HUNT and PEEL Coalition by one act of vigour. If they feel unequal to the occasion, let them resign. In that case, the King may appoint, as the ,great majority of the national representatives would surely support, a more energetic Ministry. A Ministry of better intentions than the present, eou/d not, perhaps, be formed: a set of weaker men than they are now showing themselves to be, never placed their country in jeopardy.
