ABSTRACT
The tone and language of our Ministry is not quite in common with that of those parties of men to whom we owed our Elevation and continuance in office. Lord Grey naturally and laudably looks to closing his career and leaving the country in tranquillity and prosperity. He is consequently averse to the agitation of any great questions that are not actually forced upon him … [but] the language of such among our party as are by nature more Tory than Whig and more conservative than reforming …produces an appearance of unpopularity and encourages Hume, Cobbett, O'Connell, Attwood and Whittel Harvey to ferment discontent and turbulence. 1
