A JOB FOR THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.
The following inflammatory placard is stated to have been posted in the City. Lek Sir CHARLES WETHERELL look.to it. "Englishmen ! when a Government attempts to alter the Constitution, it is ipso facto dissolved, and society has returned to its first elements. There is at this moment no King,-no Houk of Lords, no Commons and no Sir Richard Birnie. The laws upon dissection shall never be altered, -without a full and impartial appeal to the sense of every member of the people. Our vital interests, the very limbs that were bestowed on us by the exertions of our glorious fathers, are at stake. Britons ! if you have hearts, arise ! If you have livers, be on the alert!
"Will you see those dearest to you smothered with pitch-plasters?
Shall your wives be cut in quarters, and your little boys injected with black sealing-wax ? Have you forgotten history, and is the ex perience of past times lost upon you in the insane desire for Reform ? Shall Radicals beard you in your families, and the Westminster Reviewers alter Acts of Parliamentt Shall Exeter Change be moved to Regent's Park, and your almost worshipped monkeys sit on poles in the Zoological Garden ? This, and much more, shall be, unless you rouse' yourselves without delay. The wisest and the noblest in the land are ready-to -put themselves at -your head. Fear nothing, and you shall suffer nothing. Flinch, and you
are lost for ever." . - .
