The Globe has had a peep into what is going
on at head-quarters-- tate the following passage in a leading article of that journal this evening.
" Some of the questions on which Reformers differ, perhaps hardly admit of a compromise ; and on these it would be difficult to combine open differences of action and expression in the same Cabinet. Others, however, may be regarded as merely questions of time: what one set of Reformers would postpone, admitting as good ultimately, another would effect at once. With regard to this class of questions, and indeed to most others, we cannot see why they should not be al- lowed to work their way up as they can, by the votes at least of such of the persons connected with Government as stand pledged to their constituents to give effect to their mutual sentiments."
Bravo ! Members of the Government, then, are to be graciously per- mitted not to misrepresent their constituents in respect to questions on which they stand pledged to them. There is a most excellent reason for this—the constituencies will not be misrepresented, after the next elec- tion; for they will turn out the pledge. breakers. Yes, Mr. Pouterr THOMSON, they will discard all such, whether they are in or out of the Cabinet ; although the Globe would fain cry mercy for the delinquen- cies of Cabinet Councillors.
