ABSTRACT
During the arduous contest between the people in conjunction with Earl Grey's administration and the Whig party, on one side, with the enemies of all Reform on the other, the authors have not ceased to advocate the just cause, in season and out of season. The authors have fought the people's battles with all our might; and with the single object of the people's good. The people have gained the measure of Parliamentary Reform so ardently sought; and behold, in the seats of power, that administration which aided them in obtaining the Reform Bill. But the important questions whether the Parliament chosen under that Bill, and whether the Whig Ministry, will fulfil the just expectations of the people, are yet undecided in the affirmative. The circumstances of the country are too critical to make it probable that the trial of the present Parliament, and of the present Ministry, can be a long one.
