Russell and Carol - hayle and hearty

As a politician, it is well known that Lord Falmouth belonged to the tory party; he was in fact brought up in the most bigoted and corrupt school of toryism. It cannot, however, be said that he proved an apt pupil, for he certainly never displayed any very flagrant marks of the bad political training which he must have received from his father.  His indolent temper probably disqualified him from becoming a keen partisan. His generous disposition would recoil from the meanness of tory maxims. And his sound understanding would raise him above its bigotry and its narrow views. He may have retained some speculative Toryism in his head, but his heart we suspect had half-abjured its creed. We understand from unquestionable authority that no one bore a more friendly feeling to MR. ROBARTES, or was more anxious to see him returned for East Cornwall at the late election, than the Earl of Falmouth - a fact, we think, which can scarcely be regarded as strongly symptomatic of any very ardent attachment to Tory principles.
