FROM A CROAKER IN THE COUNTRY.
• • to• • • ***** • • "You seem to have a pause in pulities ; but it is not really so. The Whigs are losing ground, sloWly but surely. And then only think of their managing so that England is govetmed by a series of revolutions! Every-measure, it appeatss is to be carried Unconstitutienally—that is, by a revolution : first, Reform ; now, the Assessed Taxes: next, other taxes ; and then, I suppose, the Cora laws. Stupid, wooden-headell WEI.I.INGToti began the srstem, to be sure : he would have produced a great mash by this time, if the Whigs bail riot taken his place ; and now they continue the system of lesisting as long as possible, and then Yielding —to force : they will produce a crash, if they go on in his way. And I have no hope of them, no hope in ignorance and pride. But I would rather have the Tories batik, rather go back to the times of HENRI! the Eighth, than be governed, as we soon shall be, by associations led by men RS ignorant as the Whigs, and worse than proud—that is, reckless, revengeful, and violent. My God ! think of a system being established, under which Mr. SavAnE of Marylebene takes - the lead in repealing sonic important taxes, by a process wholly illeaal ! What a way of governing! and in what cant it end but dire confilsion? We want a party, with same good newspapers, that should be a real piste milieu—that should declare war to the knife against Whigs and Demagogues; attacking Lord GREY and COesear, Lord ALTOORP and O'Cosocate, in the same breath ; describing your imbecile i rd and your political linendraper as equally dangerous leaders—as revolutionists equally, who play intoeach other's han-is for the ruin of the country. Is this croaking, i sir is t true? I cannot help thinking it is true. We shall see."
