TOPICS OF THE DAY.

THE REFORMERS RALLY TO THE HUSTINGS.

peceocaTivE has done its worst, or its best. The People's Re- prese,atatives are dissolved. The black flag of Toryism is again unfurleal : the enemy's troops are in the field, prepared to do battle with all tt'.'e fury of despair. On the other side, the victorious banner of 11,:lform floats proudly on the breeze : in front of the pirate and renejado band, appears the united phalanx of the TRUE MEN of ENGLANO. disciplined and ready—strong in their right, determined in their furpose, calm in their resolves. One struggle more between the friemis of good and the abettors of evil govern- ment, and the victory is 1r us and for our children for ever. Our rallying-cry finds an echo a. yid an answer throughota the Three Kingdoms. Down with the Tories! is the watchword—Down with the Tories ! the battle-call f an empire of Reformers.
