government from the Whigs. It is true that amongst them there is one
very great man, Lord Palmerston, who is indeed the sword and buckler, the
chariots and the horses of the party; but it is impossible for his
lordship to govern well with such colleagues as he has--colleagues which
have been forced upon him by family influence, and who are continually
pestering him into measures anything but conducive to the country's
honour and interest. If Palmerston would govern well, he must get rid of
them; but from that step, with all his courage and all his greatness, he
will shrink. Yet how proper and easy a step it would be! He could
easily get better, but scarcely worse, associates. They appear to have
one object in view, and only one--jobbery. It was chiefly owing to a
most flagitious piece of jobbery, which one of his lordship's principal
colleagues sanctioned and promoted, that his lordship experienced his
late parliamentary disasters (G. B.).
