Sir Henry Bulwer seems desirous of filling the vacant place
in the Radical party, that of a commoner capable of filling the office of Foreign Secretary. He is standing for Tamworth, has taken all Radical pledges, apparently with perfect heartiness, and is, we think, the solitary candidate who has as yet appealed to the latent impel ialist feeling in the elector, the feeling which one of these days will explode with a violence our "peace democrats" do not expect. "I have this object," the conciliation of Ireland, he says, "so near my heart, because—I will not disguise it from yon—I am of that school which is proud of the glory and power of Eng- land, which does not wish that she should descend in the scale of nations, and cannot look quietly on and see others advance while we are dragging after us the heavy chain of former prejudices and past misgovernment. Look abroad I Other countries are pursu- ing their career of conquests. We have our conquests to make ; let them be over the hearts of our Irish fellow-subjects." We need not say that Sir Henry is the popular candidate for Tamworth, and that his rough appeal to the thirst for power is as effective as any appeal to justice.
