Fox and North had commit- ted a fatal error. They ought to have knotvn that WILI. IAM I'lTT. 243 roalitions between parties which have long been hostile can succeed only wlien the wish for coalition pervades the lower ranks of both. If the leaders unite before there is any disposition to union among the followers, tlu probability is that there will be a mutiny in both camps, and that the two revolted armies will make n truce with each other, in order to be revenged on those by whom they think t...hat they have been betrayed. Thus it was in 1783. At the beginning of that event- ful year, North had been the recognised head of the old Torj' party, which, though for a moment prostrated by the disastrous issue of the American war, was still reat power in the state. To him the clergy, the universities, and that large body of country gentlemen whose nil lying cry was " Church and King, " had long looked up with respect and confidence. Fox had, on the other hand, been the idol of the Whigs, and of the whole body of Protestant dissenters.
