NOTOING BUT MGM',
Since the " National l'olicy" cry has
resulted SO favorably to tho Coneeree-
tires, there is already a noticeable dis-
position on theie paeb`tO Say veYy little
about it, and the leading papaya that
were .so Fiore° in their, deminciation of
Mr. Mackonzio's policy, 'are now actual-
ly adopting. tho utterances of Deform
papers in sulhort of his policy: Ono
would 11441111y suppose that snail a
freed as this would: be so epreteent to
alltheir readers as to act as a -check,
against their so doing, but iPdoes not.
The only ieferenee that can be drawn,
from their very incetnsistent coerse, is
that now, having eecnred a restoration
to power of Sir John, they will cest
overboard all their previoefirpeefessions,
and accept the eircutnstanees as they are,
end let 'there remain without material
• change.
Against this, we protest, and, we are
glad to sty that Iteform journals are
going to hold the Conservative party *to
all its utterances on the subjeCt d pro-
tettion, told as the people have declared
