      The Treason Government. "Thereis But A S...

      THE TREASON GOVERNMENT . "Thereis but a step between tbe ridiculous and the sublime . " It is not our intention to swell bull-frog Whig Felony into sincere and patriotic Treason ; no / their treason merits no , such distinction ; but having traced them from felony to rebellion , it now becomes our duty , as loyal subjects to the constitution , to arraign them before an unprejudiced tribunal of Hi gh Treason , undistinguished by the high attributes of devotion and patriotism . In the case of Cuffey and others , the evidence of their

      coadjutors , the cunning of their official , and the energy of their Judge , convicted them of the crime of Conspiracy and Felony ; while the evidence of Dobbins and his associates , at Clonmel , convicts them of having fomented the Irish R ebellion ; and , to their shame be it spoken , the letter of Tom Young , of the Home Office , and Private Secretary to Lord Melbourne , Prime Minister to William' IV . addressed officially , and no doubt written officiall y , to General . Napier , convicts them even beyond the hope of mercy , of High Treason .

      Can we write without a pang—can we think without ablush—of the position to which those unhappy rtiscreants have reduced not only themselves , but the disrepute they have cast upon the administration of justice in this country ? Our readers will bear in mind , tbat the disclosure of General Napier , so timel y , so honourable , and so damning to the conspirators , was not a secret to us . This gallant officer not only refused to become a party to Whig Treason in 1832 , but he used his knowledge of the mode of carrying the Reform Bill as the means of saving Frost and his

      aviates trorn the ga lows . The present Chief Baron , Sir Frederick Pollock , who defended Frost , at Monmouth , urged b y compassion towards his client . made three unsuccessful appeals to the Whig Minister } when Lord Brouaham , still clinging to hope , ' . induced him to make a fourth application , which , however , was equally unsuccessful ; when , by a l uckv accident , an express arrived from General Napier , informing the Whi g Minister that i the sentence upon Frost ms executed he would then divulge the act of Whi g Treason , iSSf a secret until its disclosure ZmSimT' by the treacher r

      To General Napier , then , and not to the Whig Minister Frost and his associates owe their hves-to General Napier , and not to the merciful consideration of the Ti pperary Protesantjury , Smith O'Brien will owe his life ; and to the same honourable and gallant general the people of England will owe their gratitude as the destroyer of that faction which ! for the ast 160 years has kept this country and Ireland in a state of incipient revolution , or open rebeUion , for their own gain and aggrandsement . However , the awful disclosure made by General Napier may but constitute ffr «„ nHa

      fortheirnpeachment of the treasonable Whigsttie insulted people will be ^ s active in searching and procuring evidence for their conviction , as their menials and officials have been to procure evidence for the conviction of , Cuffey , OBrien , and others ; and although the Dead Letter-office has not become as fruitful a source of information as the illegally stolen portmanteau of Smith O'Brien .

      The Treason Government. "Thereis But A S...

      nevertheless , the ghost of the self-destroyed Colonel Brereton , of the 14 th Dragoons , must haunt the traitors , as many of his most intimate friends are well aware that that gallant officer was forced to the commission of suicide by the neglect of duty , to which he was urged by the traitor Whigs when Bristol was in flames .- ,,- ,, * How often , and how truly , have we charged these traitor conspirators with fostering the power—the delusivcpower—of Daniel O'Connell as long as that power was made the instrument of Whig strength ; and how indignant were the traitors , when Sir Robert Peel and his Government , not haunted by the dread of the living Napier or the ghost of the

      departed Brereton , sought to make the archconspirator amenabl . to the law ; and how their majority , in the last appeal , declared the law to be " a mockery , a delusion , and a snare , ' ' when wielded against their own coadjutor ; while , now that they fill the Treasury Benches , we find every official , from the judge to the informer , not only active , but zealous in the suppression of evidence calculated to convict their patrons . The Irish Press has been all but annihilated ; while , in 1832 , the chief organ of the , Whigs recommended the embodiment of a National Guard to carry the Reform Bill ; while , with characteristic prudery , but miserable tact , the same treaaon-fomentor in 1848 assures us that what was meant bv a National Guard in 1832

      was to consist , not of a Garde Mobile , but of & juste milieu corps , to be armed , and hold tbe balance of power between the aristocracy and democracy of England . They were to be bottle holders to the Whigs , and umpires between the head and tail of society . Their duty was to take the necessary precaution that the artistocracy should not revolt against the national will- —that the national will should not revolt against the oligarchy ; but , according to the old school-boy custom , tbey , as umpires , should hold the garter , and the belligerents should fight it out without closing . However , tbe one sentence quoted from the " Times" by Mr Whiteside , will serve but as tbe index to the volume of" Times" treason in

      1832 , as we propose to furnish our readers . with a more complete hash from the cold larder of Printing House-square . Our readers will peruse the letter of General Napier with surpassing interest ; while , mayhap , Powell—like the present Prime Minister—will deny all participation with the antiquated Melbourne ; and a greater latitude of p leading will be allowed to him than in the English felony , and Irish treason cases . But if , as laid down by the Judges , the whole evidence is to be taken in connexion , then , we would ask , how tho present , little gentleman , will divest himself of responsibility ,

      criminality , and conspiracy , when he reads his letter of thanks to the 150 , 000 Brummagem sympathisers , who were also ready to take the field ? And how will the gallant General , tbe member for Westminster , translate his words to a Whig Jadge and a packed Jury , in which he declared his readiness to march a hundred thousand armed men upon London ; of course a detachment of the ^ National Gu ard , to act as umpires between the democracy and the oligarchy ? With these startling facts now staring us in

      the face , inculpating men filling the highest offices of the State , it is almost needless to comment upon the evidence upon which Smith O ' Brien has been convicted . We have set it forth at length , together with what the " Times ' ' calls the impartial charge of the Chief Justice ; and we would ask the most partial—nay , the greatest Whig partisan , whether , throughout , the Bench has not acted as the tool of administration rather than the impartial administrator of the law ? and we would especially call attention to the fact to which we

      have before adverted—namel y , the difficulty , if not the impossibility , of refuting the evidence of a hired perjured informer . A respectable man , upon seeing the evidence adduced against Smith O'Brien , and conscious of his ability to refute it , was about to start for Clonmel when he was arrested for high treason . Such was the treatment of Mr Tranton , who was allowed to remain at liberty until the eve of his departure , although , if at all implicated in the Whig rebellion , his criminality must have been known to the Arguseyed officials of Dublin Castle , who , nevertheless , as in the case of Cuffey and others , did HESITATE until his arrest was considered necessary for the conviction of O'Brien . Asrain .

      with regard to the evidence of Dalton , with whom the villain Dobbins was confronted , can anything be more satisfactory than the character , the evidence , anddemeanour of that young gentleman ? while the "Times '' would throw disrepute upon him in consequence of the shabbiness of his dress , and because so great was his excitement tiiat he frequently required a drink of water . This young gentleman produces the most unquestionable character from one of the Jury , in whose family he had lived as private tutor for two years j he gives the most faithful and simple account of his every day , his every place of lod ging , his means and mode of life—but his dress is shabby , and he required a drink of water !

      Now , let ns see if we can furnish the Times" with a precedent for wardrobe and thirst . Plunkett , the late Chancellor of Ireland , was a pensioner in Trinity College—was educated , fed , and clothed by charity . M'Gee , the late archbishop of Dublin , was also a pauper student . Curran , the luminary of his country , was what is termed in Ireland " A POOR SCHOLARj - ' -he tramped the country barefoot , and begged the means to procure pen , ink , and paper , and lived upon charity ; and when he became Master of the Rolls , neither his former thirst ' or garb was urged against his efficiency . Eldon was a butcher ' s son , and subsequently became the keeper of his

      King ' s conscience . Sudden was a barber ' s son , and subsequently became Chancellor of Ireland . Sir John Elley was a barefooted peasant , when he enlisted in the King's army , and afterwards became a General officer . Cobbett was a labourer and private soldier , and became a Member of Parliament . It was the boast of John Fielden in the House of Commons , that he had worked at the loom in infancy ; and has it not been the eternal boast of this new organ of Whig Treason , that the course of promotion is open to all u nder our free constitution , while a young gentleman of unimpeachable character and admitted acquirements , is damned for his povertv and his thirst ?!

      We have only cited instances of men having sprung from mean attire to the ermine , the woolsack , and the uniform—and now turn we to the grave and more oft-repeated charge of THIRST , " "MORE WATER , " "ANOTHER DRINK , " and "WATER AGAIN . " For this we can also furnish a precedent . When Ravens , the Poor Law Commissioner , was examined before the Land Committee , a Page was appointed to supply this burning official with water . His examination was constantly stopped till a fresh supply arrived ; and , instead of thirst being made the grounds of suspicion , the impartial Judge Advocate attributed it to LAUDABLE EXCITEMENT .

      But one was a faithful witness for the traitor , and the other was a faithless witness for the tool . Whatever may be the fate of O'Brien , the traitor Whigs may rest assured that they have not yet heard the last of their Felony , Rebellion , and Treason , either in England or Ireland—as the English and t he Irish , once goaded to vengeance ; by acts of such deep and damnable treachery , will rise in their majesty and

      might , and set themselves but one task—all other business for the present being laid aside —and that is the utter annihilation of the Whig traitors . They may gloat over their victims—their Chancellor of the Exchequer may hug himself in the fond hope that he has established good grounds for another appeal to the loyalty of John Bull-but we have made but a wrong estimate of the representatives of that animal , if they do not insist upon aa ex-

      The Spy Davis. Our Attention Has Been Di...

      THE SPY DAVIS . Our attention has been directed to a portion of the examination of Davis , at the Old Bailey , on the 2 / th ult ., which had escaped our notice . The following appeared in the " Times" report , and we believe only in the " Times : *'The resolution respecting the " Luminaries " was adopted on | the 14 th , at the Orange Tree . * * At the same time tbe editor of tbe Nobthibw Stab came to make a statement in . consequence of a charge said to have bean made against him of being a spy . He was turned out .

      Either this story about " the editor of the ' Northern Star'" is a lying invention of the fellow Davis , or the reporter wilfully , or by mistake , * has mis-stated the informer ' s words . Neither Mr O'Connor , nor anyperson engaged editorially upon this paper , was ever at the Orange Tree , nor knew anything of the meetings held there until the evidence of the spies appeared in the daily newspapers . About the time of the arrests a person employed by Mr O'Connor to take reperts of meetings in the metropolis was accused of having some connexion with the police , and was thereupon

      discharged from Mr O ' Connor's service ; perhaps that person is the party spoken of by Davis . But if so that person was merely connected with this paper as " a reporter , and could not have called himself editor of the ' Northern Star . '" The "Editor ' ' is an invention for which either Davis , or the careless , if not unscrupulous reportef ^ of the " Times" is responsible . The Editor of the" Nirthern Star" never was at the Orange Tree ; never to his knowledge saw Davis ; and was totally ignorant of tbat person's infamous proceedings until divulged by himself .

      It may be well to add , that the person we have alluded to as having been employed as a reporter for tbe " Star , " is not Mr Stallwood , against whom suspicion has never breathed a word of dishonour .

      State Of Political Parties. Lord George ...

      STATE OF POLITICAL PARTIES . Lord George Bentinck ' s sudden death will most probably cause considerable change in the future construction and relative positions of parties in Parliament . While he lived to animate the Protectionists by his unswerving adherence to principle , undaunted courage , and unwearied perseverance , there was no chauce of a reunion of the severed sections of the j great Conservative party , formed by Sir R . Peel . The much-lamented Protectionist leader had almost all the qualities that could be possibly desired for the situation , whatever may be thought of his

      general knowledge , or his lacquaintance with matters which are all-important to * the school of official red-tapists , who presume to call tbemselvessta / ff # He » . There was a thorough and hearty honesty—a straightforwardness of purpose , and a frank and fearless manner of calling things by what appeared to him their right names , which peculiarly fitted him for leading an English and a " Country Party . " His very prejudices and crotchets—his dogged

      obstinacy when once he made up his mind to take any particular course , —his instinctive detection of anything mean , dirty , or lying , and his scorn of all tricks of expediency , were racy of the soil and people . lie was a capital spe cimen of the virtues and the failings of honest John Bull ; and , as a consequence—notwithstanding the incessant attacks of his political opponents , he achieved more popularity and general respect than was ever before secured by any public man in so short a time . '

      Some time before his death , the " Morning Chronicle , '' which is understood to be the organ of the Peelite section of the Conservatives , made evident overtures for a reconciliation , which were promptly repudiated by the " Herald" and " Post , " on behalf of the adherents to Protection ; although they admitted tbat the state of the country , under Whig misrule , was such as to render the driving them from office a matter ' of national importance and necessity . There the matter apparently rested—no progress towards a junction having been made . Since the decease of Lord George , however , renewed signs of an agitation with this view are observable , and it is not improbable but tbat it may be ultimately attained .

      We infer this from the very earnestness with which the more extreme and honest members of the Protectionists disclaim all idea of again serving under the Parliamentary leader who , as they think , betrayed thejj cause into the hands of the Free Traders . At a recent agricultural meeting in Essex , Sir J . Tyrrell and Major Beresford , the Members for the county , both alluded , at great length , to the irreparable loss which Lord George ' s death had inflicted on the Protectionists . Sir John

      said" It is impossible to say what will be the result tojthe Country Party , " , ' and to ' the country generally , | in the endeavour to fill up the void created by that loss . All I can say—and I do so individually—is , that no earthly consideration shall ever induce me to rally again under the head and leadership of Sir Robert Peel . " This'declaration was received with loud cheers ; and when Major Beresford—after giving some interesting ^ details as to the w ay in which the late leader of the Party devoted himself to his

      work—stated his ' coincidence in the views of his colleague , the applause was renewed . The very fact of the necessity for such open declarations , shows that something is stirring in the straw , and that a re-construction of Parties is'probable . This may take place without causing Sir John Tyrrell , and members of that class , to falsify the statement that they will never again " rally under the head and leadership of Sir R . Peel . " It ^ is generally believed , that the ex-Premier has no wish to resume the

      active duties of office ; but the junior members of his Party are not ' , equally disinclined to occupy the Treasury benches . They possess , as a body , »* considevable business talent and aptitude , and if they could prevail on the other section of the Conservative Party to join them , the Whigs would speedily be driven from place . But , though Sir R . Peel might neither have a seat in the Cabinet , nor a place in the Government , his would be the ruling mind , in the case of such a combination , He would

      pull the strings which moved the puppets , and virtually the Protectionist Party would again come under his leadership . This is the more likely to happen when we look at the composition of that Party , and the few men in it who hiivejshown any official aptitude , or power to form and direct Party combinations . Mr Disraeli is , and was , unquestionabl y , the ablest man , intellectually | speaking , among them ; but he neither . possesses the personal and hereditary standing required by tbe Party in its leader , nor are . his political opinions of that

      plain and fixed character which are peculiarly required for the "Country Party . " They admired him as the brilliant orator and friend of Lord George Bentinck , but they will hesitate long before they instal him in the vacant place of that nobleman . In the forthcoming Parliamentary campaign , therefore , the Protectionists must either submit to carry on a guerilla kind ^ of warfare , in which every man will , like the Smith in Scott ' s novel , " ; fecht for his ain hand , " or merge into the more compact , better disci plined , and reall y more able , though small , section of Peelites .

      Anything which in the remotest degree pro- 1 mises to emancipate the country from Whig despotism and misrule will , we are certain , be joyfully hailed by the nation at large . Whatever defects any other Government might have , it would have this crowning excellence—that it put an end to an Administration which fi * as shown itself throughout powerless for | good , and strong only in its capabilities and disposition to do evil . As for tbeWhig-Radical and the Free Trade sections of Parliament , we have no hope

      whatever from them . They are too much split up into coteries , and isolated from each other , to be capable of effecting any practical change ; and if they were not so , the nature of their crotchets , and the selfishness of their principles , would only cause them to do more mischief , in additionjto what they have done already . The great and crying want of the age is , a representation of the people—a party in Parliament representing the people—not classes , and particular interests , The Landed Interest , the Bailway Interest , the Colonial Interest , the Banking Interest , the Manufacturing Interest , the Commercial Interest , the Lawyer Interest —• all are represented in Parliament save one- ^

      the Labour Interest , which supports all the others . Until this monstrous anomaly is remedied , we shall neither have just nor cheap government , nor will discontent with unjust and dear government be put down . The Whigs must not lay the flattering unction to their souls that , because they have secured verdicts in the recent trials for political offences , that , therefore , the spirit out of which these offences ^ originated is destroyed , Not so . The social and political evils which generated disaffection , yet press with intolerable severity on the great bulk of the community , and until they are removed , no verdicts—no amount of mere repressive force , can give peace or security to society .

      The Revenue. The Quarterly Official Stat...

      THE REVENUE . The quarterly official statement of the Revenue , issued this week , shows an increase of receipts , as compared with the preceding quarter , of £ 772 , 296 . The last quarter ' s tables presented a decrease both on the quarter and the year . In the return just issued the decrease on ' . the year , as compared with 1847 , is . £ 388 , 183 . Last year , however , it will be

      remembered , was a peculiarly disastrous one , and therefore , though the revenue is , this quarter , nearly three-quarters of a million more than the corresponding quarter of 1847 , it ia still more than half a million under the same quarter of 1846 . The increase arises from tha Customs , Excise , Taxes , and Crown-lands , in all of which the receipts piave augmented , while there has been a considerable falling off in Stamps , Property and Income Tax , and Miscellaneous , The Post Office revenue is less by

      , £ 1 , 000 . More than one-half of the ^ augmented revenue , this quarter , has been derived from duties levied on the importation of foreign corn , under Sir R . Peel's Transitional Act . This duty will cease on the 1 st of February next , when the foreign corn grower will bring his grain to market on the same footing as the Kent or Yorkshire farmer , and that source of revenue will be cut eff ; whether our own heavilv taxed farmers and labourers will

      be able to make up the deficiency , when they have to enter into a more keen competition with the lightly-taxed foreigner , we leave to the common sense of our readers to determine . One thing is quite certain , that when the present duties on foreign corn are taken off , there will ^ be a reduction in the produce of Customs duties of probably a million and a half or two millions per annum , and that , added to the deficiency announced by Sir Charles Wood in his laat Budget , will make a very pretty item for John Bull to look at . Our inimitable

      Chancellor of the Exchequer Bill then have to borrow at the rate of five million . ) a year to make up the deficiency , instead of two mi'lions and a half . - In the meantime , the Ministerial journals make the most of the improvement in the quarter ' s revenue , and venture on predictions aa to future prosperity , which seem to us very like moonshine . They say , we are at the end of this period of commercial depression , and about to commence one of steady and gradually increasing prosperity . For our own

      part , we jee no symptoms of this in the accounts as to . the state of trade in all the principal industrial districts . Trade seems smitten with a general paralysis , and appears to us as if it would grow worse , instead of better , for some time to come . As to our foreign prospects , it is admitted even by the Free Trade journals , that they are anything but cheering andjthat , in the meantime , the Home Trade is the best one for Manchester . By and by , perhaps , our manufacturing Solons ' and great financiers will learn the ABC of true national economy , and the country will get better balance sheets .

      Oastlerfor The West-Riding. A Vacancy In...

      OASTLERFOR THE WEST-RIDING . A vacancy in the representation of the West-Riding has been caused by the death of the Earl of Carlisle . * and the consequent elevation of Lord Morpeth , his eldest son , to the House of Peers . It will be interesting to see whether that great constituency still holds by the economical creed which induced them to send Mr Richard Cobden to Parliament . Short as £ the time is ^ which has elapsed since his election , it has been sufficient to show the

      fallacious and injurious character of the policy of whi « h ^ Mr Cobden has been the chief advocate and upholder . Whatever may be the dependence of Manchester , and Lancashire generally , on foreign markets , the trade of Yorkshire is mainly dependent upon a good home demand , and that has not been created b y Mr Cobden ' s measures . They have failed , and the fiee trade Coryphaeus has brought forward nothing better to supply their place . He seems to have had but one idea in his head , and that disposed of , he is " used up , " and practically laid on the shelf .

      We observe by an article in the " Morning Post , " that an intention exists of contesting the Representation of the Riding with the Free Tiaders and Manchester men who have foisted Mr Cobden upon Yorkshire . Our old friend Richard Oastler , the " King Dick'' tof the Factory child , is talked of as the man selected to head a movement in favour of native industry and common sense , in opposition to the "buy-cheap and sell-dear" policy of Messrs Gripeall and Co . It is unnecessary to say , that on many vital questions we totally differ from Mr Oastler , but we do believe that the honest and hard-handed Labourer would

      find a true and warm-hearted Representative in him , and on that ground alone we should be happy to see him in Parliament . Besides this , however , it appears to us that a period of re-action—adverse to the false , foolish , and mischievous theories of the Free Trader—is fast approaching , and it would be of immense value to have an exponent of the reasons ? and grounds of that re-action , so well qualified to do justice te Jthe subject , and so full y acquainted with it in all its bearings , as Mr Oastler . We shall watch with deep interest the progress of that contest , if it brings into direct collision the representatives of two princi ples so completely opposed to each other , as those represented by Mr Cobden and Mr Oastler .
