Lord John to answer. We shall, however, refer here to only one-the paltry allusions to the glorious cause of Protestantism. Alas! how does he now roar like any sucking dove! How completely has evaporated the spirit of the famous letter to the Bishop of Durham, which so lately kindled the country from one end to the other! To the eye of a zealous Protestant, the one little meagre paragraph devoted to this subject speaks volumes, to prove that the interests of Protestantism are not safe in Lord John's keeping; and that shall we add it?-because he foresees that to uphold Protestantism vigorously would be to interfere with any possible alliance with Sir James Graham and the Manchester and Radical party. If there be a contest for the city of London, we suspect that Lord John Russell will appeal in vain to the Protestant electors; while the mercantile electors will look with smiling contempt at his newly-developed anxiety to revise the existing intolerably oppressive Customs arrangements.

The country has now plainly before them, as far as we can briefly put it, the Great Question, whether they will uphold Protestantism and repel Democracy. We await the issue with unspeakable solicitude. We have no fear, if the constituencies

will do their duty. Let them ask themselves the plain question, What is to become of us, if Sir James Graham, and Messrs. Cobden, Bright, and Hume come into power? DESTRUCTION would be upon us!

When too late,

We implore, therefore, every Conservative elector in the kingdom, every true Protestant, every loyal subject of the Queen, to regard himself as INDIVIDUALLY of importance during the ensuing ever-memorable struggle. Let no man rely on his neighbour, or undervalue his own exertions, capabili ties, or influence. hundreds of thousands may lament and curse an infatuated apathy: for if even a downward impulse be given, it rapidly acquires an irresistible force. Before we again appear, the Great Question will be discussing in every constituency in the kingdom; and it really resolves itself into AYE or No-Conservative or destructive? Everything is at stake-our national character, our independence, our civil and religious liberty. Let those only succeed who are likely to make desperate exertions in order to inaugurate organic changes, and the crown will quiver on the sacred brow of her that now wears it, and on the temple of our national greatness we may woefully write-ICHABOD! The glory is departed!
