While the provincial press has been employed in the manner
the passages above cited show, the Morning Chronicle has con- tinued the series of papers commenced last week ; and which, as the Morning Post rightly conceives, were not praised in our co- lumns for "effete and offensive Whiggery," but for the opposite qualities of vigorous sense and an independent tone. The Morning Post seems to think that the Morning Chronicle and the Spectator have shaken hands and row in the same boat but there is, appa- rently, this difference,—the Chronicle professes a desire to keep in the Ministry by reorganizing the Popular party, the adoption of a more Liberal policy by the Whigs being the necessary preliminary to
such reorganization ; while for our parts we firmly believe that all is over with the Whigs, and that there never can be any thing like a rally of the Popular party till they are out of office. Nevertheless, for the sake of Reform—not to help the Whigs, who are past helping—we rejoice at the course the Chronicle has taken and. maintains with so much ability.
