A NOVEMBER SESSION ! Tbplt appears to us to lie the obvious policy of tile party : wliicb ^ standing , Independent , of "Wliig and Tory connexions , and ; enduring rather than supporting the O / oalitacHaj to may denominate fclie National Party . A recess is aconstitutional arrangement , no doubt . It waa necessary to haye a short session and a long recess when all the members , pf ! parliament were country gentlemen , and when , cotnaaunication betwieeii . the aaetror
polls and Yoi \ kshire "was an afiair of arTKeet . Burt in these days , when the country gentlemen are only a class in Parliament , and when country gentlemen do not cultryate their own estates , and when railways and telegraphs enable Yorkshire , or Corksliire ., or Aiberdeenshh'e , gentlemen to reside in London and yet carry on Yorkshire , or Corkshire , or Aberdeenslm-e , business > a recess should be merely a vacation . By November , members of Parliament will have had adequate relaxation .
At any period it would be a logical view that " a self-governed country" ought aiot to band its affairs over to an . irresponsible Oabinet for so long a period ae six months-At the present period , with a war raging , and great diplomatic movements in . progress , it is simply silly in . the nation to allow Court and ¦ Cabinet to put the House of ; Commons on one side .
Oranted that , in the last session , Parliament did not greatly interfere with the Cabiuet , and that the Radical party were alarming Ministerialists . The question is not whether or not the the Gov-ernment is entitled to £ he confidence of the country ; we are not contemplating a November session in which the national party would oppose the coalition . We anticipate that the Tory press will hasten to take up the cry of a . November
session—and fia a cry . Our present view is , that the national party has a mission , to rocal to the Ho vise of Commons historic toiditiQus , and to remind it of its old constitutional rights and functions . We do not oppose the Government : we merely insist that the House of Commons is bound to aid tbo Grovoriiment iu carrying on the war , and to represent , in action , the people , by conditioning tho character of the war .
Members of the Government are , we know , disgusted and indignant that so large a portion of tho press continue to comment in toxins of suspicion and inuendo upon their conduct of tlio war . It may bo thai ; Lord A . ierdeon , sagaciously comprohonsivo in his views , and despising what lie regards as the
impossible liberalism which is urged b ^ those wlio requiro that tho war again » fc llutmia bo lvuido a war for Hungary nnd Poland , daily ooutompltitcd resignation bo lore tho ( storm ol reproach lovolleil against him for tho long delay at Varna . Ho is a vory stoical , cynical , Pjremior ; but ho cannot bub groim in pvetjcncc of the huinilialing fact that a
cohbhWable number of her Majesty ' s sub j ects regar ^ him as acting under the combined influences of imbecility and treachery ^ But the position of the Grovernuaent illustrates the failure of the attempt , so palpable in a Uecess , to reeoncile secret diplomacy with free institutions . Lord Aberdeen ' s objecir in fcMa war may be the only possible object open to Cfcteat Britain to accomplish . But what he means is essentially different- fr-om what tha ^ English people means : and hence suspicion arising out of unconfessed antagonism . The House
of Commons was greatly wanting in its duty last Session : Mr . Disraeli , as chief of a Dory opppsitibn , very adroitly took advantage of the popular suspicion , to lead in the assailing criticisms on the Ministry ; and , in consequence , the Radicals , refusing to be so led , backed into the abject illogicality which was in so melancholy a manner represented by Mr * Hume . Yet the House of Commons ' debates on the war did something ; they induced revelation after revelation until Xiord John Russell waa one evening tempted , by the sure popularity prepared , into speaking
out boldly about the destruction , of the Black Sea Russian , fleet being a necessary condition of permanent peace . "We believe a November Session would develope still further Ministerial conceptions ; and we the more earnestly entertain this conviction from , an assurance that the Government has at present no x'esolutions beyond the assault ; on- Sebastopol , while the resolution , of Russia to fight to her last rouble and her last man remains unmodified by the fact that the French army of the Bast has lost 7 O 0 O men , and the English , army of the East 3000 men , by the cholera .
Our House of Commons represents only indirectly the people—represents , in the first instance , the classes who have an interest in the maintenance of the exclusive system of government which JLord Aberdeen finds so incompatible with popular pretensions— -and we dp not anticipate that " next session '' is to annihilate secret diplomacy . But secret diplomacy would be , in many respects , tempered just now by parliamentary debates . Austria would not prosper so completely , by our undertaking to defend civilisation and uphold the cause of national independence , it Parliament were sitting .
A November Session , then . It is not a bold prediction that if November be lost February will not be of much use to English liberals .
