2691. ENGLAND, Tory principles of.—

To judge from what we see published [in
England], we must believe that the spirit of
toryism has gained nearly the whole of the
nation; that the whig principles are utterly
extinguished except in the breasts of certain
descriptions of dissenters. This sudden change
in the principles of a nation would be a
curious morsel in the history of man.—
