have enough to resist. If they attempt to advance, they will assuredly give their enemies a greater advantage over them, and Lord John will again be able to quote the triumphant exclamation of the great Whig of the Commonwealth at the indiscretion of the Tories- The Lord hath delivered them into our hands.'
We well know how irksome such a line of policy must be to men of honour and spirit, indignant at the treatment they have experienced, and alarmed at the danger with which the Constitution is menaced; but it is the imperious necessity of the state of parties and the country.
Sir Robert Peel, it is evident, means to assume the convenient station of arbiter between opposing interests: he means to sit apart in the cloudy recesses of his own Olympus, and weigh in his supreme scales the fates of contending parties. We warn the Tories to allow him no such a position-to dethrone this mock Jupiter-to provoke no conflict which he can come forward to decide-but, on the contrary, to take up themselves that neutral position to wait to see how Sir Robert and Lord Johnwho cannot long go on like the two kings of Brentford smelling at the same nosegay-dispose of their respective pretensions. Let the Tories maintain, as we think it possible for them to do, the power of arbitration between those parties. We have said that in the most important points of danger to our institutions there is a likelihood that the Whigs and the Peelites may be allies-but they must also be rivals. Lord John will not submit to Peel's supercilious protection, nor Peel to Lord John's ministerial dictation. There will probably be many occasions in which the only true Conservatives, even if unable to carry good measures, may prevent mischief, and will at least have the choice between bad and worse. If they will be satisfied to bide their time,' and to wait their opportunities with prudence, steadiness, and discipline, they will find that, even in this strange-looking House of Commons, they are in numbers greater than any other distinct party, and that it is only by a combination (too probable, we admit) of jealous and discordant factions that they can be on any point overpowered. They may be assured that, in spite of the influence of the Government of the great accession of strength which the Radical and Dissenting factions have received-and of the defection of Sir Robert Peel-the old true-hearted party has still such a superiority of weight and influence in the country at large, as must give them both intrinsic and extrinsic strength in resisting all threatened innovations of serious moment; with every fair hope, when this tyranny shall be overpast,' of replacing substantially the government of the country on its ancient principles, Commercial, Constitutional, and Christian.
