Even in its palmy days , there Avas n ^ fhitlgih th ^ ' Times * writing to stir fear in the breast of a patriot nfr&n ; and now , nothing that others can do can render it more dfegi ^ d ^ d , caii heap more obloquy on it , than the conduct of its conductors has done . The editor of the ' Times affects to treat

    Jtthh ' lutebuek with contempt , as a man of neither power nor ittAiteftee , but it is only the writhing impotence of maUce . John R ^ efeuek has po wer , great power ; he is a sound logician and a ^ fftisft of no mean Tepute , and these are two matters for which the ** Sitlte& * editor is by no means remarkable . The debates of the H ( fti « # 6 f Gammons mark John Roebuck as a sound politician

    and > a firm friend to the freedom and advancement of the people ; more than that , an efficient advocate of their progress . The ' Times * editor carps at him by means of his one-sided journal , but (he is no match for him in intellect , and not comparable to him for honesty or morality . But the editor of the Times' has tact , htt £ kn 6 ws * the Weak side of John Roebuck , and , with crafty

    caleu-Wtttrig nctalice , he bestirs himself to excite his irritability . He Write * paragraphs which convey charges in inuendo , and rivals tli ! e trdtfst vehicles of low scandal in personal abuse . When John Roebuck suffers these things to stir his temper , he loses much of hife pdWer , and this his crafty opponent knows . At the Bath electron thfc squabble with Blake Foster was unworthy of a legis-Ufctfr , aild the Times * editor exulted in it , and , so long as John Rttebti&k shall continue to evince an irritable temperament , there

    Wttyfcte ho want of mongrels , both of the press and also of the legtslatto * ' mob , to urge him on to unworth y controversy . John ftOtfetock * paint * Geoffry Stanley to the life , as the creature of fcfiatOcJratlc morgue and petulant irritability ; let him beware that \ M 4 mitlrte not the tnan he condemns . Petulant irritability is not arViCfc of Ttthk alone ; and wherever it may chance to exist , it dtatroVs the feeling of veneration alike in the possessor and hthakler .
