Right Hon. JOHN WILSON CROKER Secretary. IN 1827, when Mr. Canning proposed to grant eman- cipation, or rather certain concessions of relief, to the Roman Catholics, which would probably have paved the way for emancipation, his old Tory associates began to desert him in such numbers, that he soon found himself unable to carry on the Government, without having recourse to some portion of the Whigs, and not to refuse even the assistance of those Radicals, who were favourable to his proposed measu...res ; but it must be admitted that, in return, he never gave countenance to any of their levelling opinions ; neither did he ac- quiesce in the reform of Parliament or the Test Act, or in the other liberal tenets which the Whig party professed ; consequently he could not place much re- liance on their giving him a cordial support. The plea of the deserters from his standard was, that if he persisted in mooting the question of Catholic emancipation, he would not be able to keep together such an efficient government, as the exigencies of the country required.
