Illicitly, first, whether he will maintain the bill it
self; and secondly, whether he will act upon the
spirit in which it was conceived.
With respect to the reform bill itself, 1 will re
peat notv the declaration which 1 u ade when I en
tered the house of commons as a men.her of the
relormed parliament,—that l consider the reform
bill a final and irrevocable settlement of a <mat
constitutional question, a settlement which no
friend to the peace and welfare of this country would
attempt to disturb, cither by direct or by insidious
means.
Then as to the spirit of the reform hill, and the
willingness to adopt and enloiee it as a rule of go
vernment. If by adopting the spirit of the reform
hi!! it be meant that we are to live in a perpetual
vortex of agitation, that public men can only sup
port themselves in public cslim rtion by adopting
every popular impression of the day; by promising
the instant redress of any thing which anv body
may call an abuse; by ah indnning ail togethei that
great aid oi government more powerful than either
law or reas >n, the respect for ancient rights and
the deference to jyescripitve authority—if this be
the spirit of the reform i>i!i I will not undertake to
adopt it. But if the spirit of the reform bill im
plies merely a careful review of institutions, civil
and ecclesia-iiie ,!, ttiulei taken in a friendly temper,

rmative,
ei rights, the correct i-.m of proved abuses, and the
redress of real grievances,—in that ease 1 can, lor
myself and colleagues, undertake to act in such a
spirit, and with such intentions.
Such declaration* of general principles, are, I
am aware, necessarily vague; hut in order to tie
more explicit, I will endeavor to apply them prac
tically to some of those questions which have of
late attracted the greatest share of public interest
and attention.
I take, first, the i:tq fry into municipal corpora
tions.
It is not my intention to advice the crmvn to in
terrupt the progress of that inquiry, or to transfer
the conduct of it front those to whom it was com
mitted by the late government. For rnyscllT gave
the best proof that I was not unfriendly to the prin
ciple of inq iiiy, by consuming to be a member of
that committee of the house of commons, on which
it was originally devolved.
No report has y« t been made by She conunis-
8 oners to whom the inquiry was afterwards re
ferred, and until that report be made, 1 cannot be
expec-led to give, on the part of the government,
any other pledge than that they will bestow on the
suggestions it may contain, and the evidence on
which they may be founded, a full and unprejudic
ed consideration.
1 wiil, in the next place, address myself to the
questions i:i which those of our fellow-countrymen
who dissent from tlie doctrines of tiie established
church, take an especial interest.
Instead of making new professions, I will refer
t) the canrie which f took upon those subject,
when out of power.
In hie first place, I supported liie measure
brought forward by Lord Alihorp, the object of
which was to exempt a!! classes from the payment
of church rates, applying in lieu thereof, out of a
branch of ihe revenue, a certain sum for the build
ing and repair < i churches, f never expressed,
nor did I entertain, the slightest objection to the
principle of a bill, of which Lord John Ilusseli was
the author, intended to relieve the conscientious
scruples of dissenters, in respect to the ceremony
of inarriag'. 1 give no opinion now on (he parti*-
ctibir mea-tires thein*e!ves. They were proposed
by mmisters in whom the dissenters had eonfi-fence:
t hey were intended to give relief, and it is sufficient
fir my present purpose to state, that I supported
the principle of them.
1 opposed, and 1 am bound to state, that my
opinions in that respect have undergone no change,
the admission cf dissenters a* a claim of right into
the universities; hut J expressly declared that if
regulations eu to reed by public authorities superin
tending the prof ssiotis of law and medicine, and
tiie studies connected with them, had the effect of
conferring advantages of the nature of civil privi
leges o:t one class of ihe king’s subjects, from which
another clasr was excluded, those regulations
ought to undergo modifications, with the view of
placing ali Hie king’s subjects, whatever be their
feligi ins creed, upon a looting of perfect equality
in respect to any civil privilege.
Titppea! to the course which I pursued on those
several questions when office must have been out
of contemplation: and 1 ask with eonfi fence, does
1 fiat course imply that I was actuated bg any f !:
bera! or intolerant spirit towards the dissenting
body, or by an unwillingness to consider fairly the
redress of any real grievances.
In the examination of other questions which ex
cited public feeling, I will not omit the pension list.
I tesiste !, and with the opinions! entertain I should
again resist, a vetro.sp( c ivc inquiry into pensions
granted by the crown at a time when the discre
tion of the crown was neither fettered by law nor
by the expression ol’any opinion on the part of the
house of commons. But I voted lbr the resolution
moved by L>rd Alihorp, that pensions on the civil
list ought for the future to be confined to such per
sons only as have j ist claims to the royal benefi
cence, or arc entiiie.l to consideration either on ac
count oftbeir personal services to the crown, or of I
th? performance of duties to the public, or of tfftfir
scientific or literary eminence. On the resolution
which I thus supported as a private member of
parliament, 1 shall scrupulously act as a member of
the crown, and shaii advise the grant of no pen
sion which is not in conformity with the spirit and
intention of the vo:e to which I was a parly.
Then, as to toe great question of church reform.
O.i that head I have no new professions to make.
I cannot give my consent to the alienation of the
church property in any part oi the United King
dom from strictly ecclesiastical purposes. But I
repeat now tfie opinions that I have already ex
pressed in ptrliainent in regard to the church es
tablishment in Irehind:—that if, by an improved
distribution of the revenues of the church, its just
i if! tencc can lie extended, and the trno interests of
the established religion promoted, all other con
sider at ions shaii be made subordinate to die ad
vancement u! objects of such paramount import
ance.
As to church property in this country, no person
has expressed a more earnest wish than I have
done, that the question of tithes, complicated and
difficult as 1 acknowledge it to be, should, if possi
ble, he satisfactorily settled by means of a commu
tation, founJcd upon ins! principles, and proposed
sifter mature consideration.
With regard to the alteration in the laws which
govern our ecclesiastical establishment, I leave had
no recent opportunity of giving that grave consi
deration l« a subject of the deepest interest, which
could alone justify me in making any public defia
nt ion of opini in. It is a subject which must un
dergo the fullest deliberation, and into that delibe
ration the government will enter with the sineerest
desire to rent ive every abuse that can impair the
efficiency of the establishment, to extend the sphere
of its usefulness, and to strengthen and confirm its
just claims upon the respect and affections of the
people.
It. is unnecessary for my purpose to enter into
further dclail*. 1 have said enough with respect
to general principles, and their practical applica
tion to public measures, to indicate the spit it in
wliic.bshe king’s government is prepared to act.
Oar oliject will be the maintenance of peace: the
scrupulous ami honorable fulfilment, without refer
ence to their original policy, of all existing engage
ments with foreign powers; ihe support of public
credo; of strict economy; and the just and impar
tial consideration of what is due to all interests,
agricultural, manufacturing, and commercial.
Whatever may be the issue of the undertaking in
which I am engaged, I ltd assured that vou will
mark, by a renewal of your confidence, \our ap

that measure: indeed, it was declared by the acting chairman
that he did not heheee that a single tneinher of the committee
uas in favor of r.ow resorting tothe measure of reprisals.”
From this it would seem that a majority of the

dissent from the views of the president’s mes

“The day arrived which had been appointed for the rati
fication of the test oath bill, and the pomp which always at
tends on power, with all the pageantry of aristocracy, was
displayed, by the rattling of wheels and the ringing of bells;
which announced that something more than ordinary was
to lake place. One o’clock being ihe hour fixed on for the
consummation, the senate hall vvas filled to overflowing be
fore twelve, with all sizes, sexes, and conditions, to witness
the august spectacle of the confirmation of an act to dishonor
and disfranchise a large and respectable portion of their
fellow-citizens. During the progress of these events, the
Union party met every night, and the districts which had
no representation in th? legislature, sent delegates to advise

kept what was called the party ofilie juste milieu, of which
he vvas the h®ad. This parly, hy the talent of its loader, not
only preserved itself f rom disastrous divisions, but silenced
all opposition to the government. It put down effectually
for the moment the movement party, of which Lafayette and
Labile were Ik* prime movers. It lad the confidence of
the monied and commercial classes. ButCasimer Perier
died, and immediately several parties or sub-divisions of par
ties rose on the ruins o( ’the juste milieu. Thedoctrinnaires,
one of these sub-divisions,got possession of t he government,
with whose notions of rule and those of Louis Philippe there
is a natural sympathy. Another of thise, the Tiers-parti,
nextexpelfod thed jetrinmires, who by the turn of the ta
bles hove got into power again. A fourth party who have
no specific designation that is intelligible, hut who are in
France called the non doctrinnaircs, take part with the Ti-
ers-parli or th? doclrinnnires ns suits their interest. This
party lias a man of great cl ®vern®ss atlh ‘ir head, 31. Thiers,
as the ostensible leader of the doctrinnaircs is M. Guizot.
It vvas owing to th? dissentions of these two polilicans that
the Ministry of Marshal Girard was broken up.
Now these parties are all brnncht s or divisions of but one
party, tint of the juste milieu, and who all profess to he guid
ed by the principles of Casimer Perier, but the doctrinnaries
are the advocates of arbitrary measures—they are for the
adoption of harsh instruments of rule, such as domiciliary
visits, severe restraints on the press and the rigorous pun
ishment of all political offences, while the Ticrs-parti, which
comprise among its conspicuous members the two Dupins,
31. Patsy and Cousin, ifcc. are fur governing hy th® princi
ples of legal order as propounded and developed during tho
administration of Perier.
The party ol’ the old opposition or movement, the Lafay
ette and Lafitte faction, of whom the most distinguished
supporters are Mauguin and Barrot, still subsists; but it has
little or no parliamentary influence. This party corresponds
nearly in opinion with the ultra radical party in England, as
the non doctrinnaries appear to constitute a similar division
to that called the semi whigs in Ungland, headed hy Lord
Stanley, somewhere in a medium between the liberals or
tiers parti, and thetorirsor doctrinnaries.
'J lie result lias therefore followed from the breaking up of
tiie two grand party divisions in France, consequent on tin
revolutionof July, (to wit. th-? movement anil thejuste\milieu y , . . .
the latter lias become split into three branches, and the effect j excellency , m pulling fort!
of which separation has been that the most violent of the j party J. V. e profess not to
nd honorable to both. We ullimate-
meant n,Tilling more “than that
-glance vvtncli every citizen owes to the State, con-istent
~:.u rhp constitution of the United States,” and that if their
party, or a majority of them would vole for it, vv?, on our
part, would not urge our protest; and would, moreover, vote
for their report, under tho consideration that they withdraw
both the treason hill and the mil to reorganize Ihe judiciary.
There vvas no difficulty in getting their leaders to ass-mt to
these measures. But, if report can he relied on, these had a
desperate struggle to get their troops in ihe line of march.
They took three days to get matters right among them. Ru
mor says, their leaders were very severely handled at t heir
night meetings by the discontents. Th-y were told, that
when danger vvas at a distance they were courageous, hut
now it had approached, they intended to skulk. They at
length succeeded in obtaining a majority to vote for the com
promise—notwithstanding they had refused the same propo
sition w hen offered previously by 3Ir. Alfred Huger. Here,
then, stands this vexed question.—The chivalry of tiie south,
which was to have thrown round a wall of living fire, un
less the tariff was abandoned, and the principle given up, is
now appeased, with a drawn battle, and the jarraing ele-
m-nts of discord are in the sluinb-’rs of death.
The fact is, they had passed ih<> Rubicon, and could make
no better retreat; and vve could not have gained, hy demand
ing more. About thirty oftbeir number, in the popular
branch of the legislature, voted against them, and gave no
tice that they intended to offer th®ir protest. But finding
themselves too weak to constitute a third party, they eventu
ally sent in their adhesion. If vve h ive not gained a tri
umph, they have certainly lost one. You must believe me
when I tell you, that the reign of Tiberius never furnished a
more profligate, abandoned, anil more unprincipled set of
men than those who figured in this drama. My heart sick
ens at the recollection of scenes which are past, and I had
almost lost confidence in the government under which I live,
when the spark which glimmered in the west cheered us in
our gloomy path. The elections in Alabama and Georgia
electrified us, and gave us new life. They undoubtedly
paralyzed the nerves of our tyrants.”

Governor M'Dujjiu's Inaugural Speech.—The intelligence
of the alleged compromise, between the two contending par-
of I liis State, lias now become rife among us The tid-
northern States, will pass by rapid transition, through an
archy to despotism; and i am t hoi bug lily convinced, that do

books, such as Jefferson’s life a :d opinions,either totally ex

profusely circulated, of a character far from being conducive
to a republican education; finding, at tiie sain : tim®, liiat
there was an increasing inequality b-tween man aim man,

The Election.—The die is not yet cast. 3Ir. L ’igh is not
yet re-elected to the senate of the United States, against tho
wishes and instructions of the people.
The reader will perceive, that on Thursday, a resolution
was submitted U) the house of delegates for an indefinite
postponement of the whole question. After some debate
the motion vvaN rejected hy a vote of seventy-eight to fifty
six; and then the usual m ssage was sent up to tli® senate,
ersol'the staunch federalists in that body—indications w nicii
were both amusing and instructive. A communication trom
th ? governor ol Georgia, accompanied th® governor’s speech.
His excellency was pleased to say, with a sneer not alto
gether b ‘coming gubernatorial dignity, that he did not know
that the Georgia resolutions required any legislative action,
and upon this hint th? house echoed liis sneer.
Y\ ithont hearing the resolutions, or so much as knowing
the subject matter lo which they related, a motion was
made to lay them on the table, ’[’his was a little too bare

be read.
