JOHN WILSON CROKER

There are two great antagonistic principles at the root of all government, stability and experiment. The former is Tory, and the latter is Whig.

I have never and never will do anything for the sake of popularity; he that steers by any other compass than his own sense of duty may be popular, but cannot be an honest and ... useful public servant.

We are now, as we always have been, decidedly and conscientiously attached to the Tory, and which might with more propriety be called the Conservative, party.
