Cynic, Laugh at Thyself.
Sir Robert Peel laughs at English Volunteers. Yet he has not been backward in boldly coming forward as a Volunteer in loyal defence of Savoy. Is it more ridiculous to be an English Volunteer than a Savoy one? We might as well accuse Sir Robert of being a “sweep,” because he has turned Savoyard, as his treating Englishmen as fools, because they have chosen to turn Volunteers.
A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
The late Sir Robert Peel was the first to throw open the British Ports, and Gladstone is about to open for us the French Clarets.

Swift defined a “Nice man” as a “man of nasty ideas.” Louis Napoleon has taught us to define a “nasty policy” as a “policy of Nice ideas.”
