Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Dockyard Politics and Patronage: A Collection of Memoranda to Assist Future Enquiries Public attention has been of late directed not only to the efficiency of our Dockyards, as departments of the Public Service, but to the position of those occupied in them; and the time is approaching when this numerous body of energetic and skilful men ought to be rescued from the political tyranny and caprice to which they are at present exposed. The Chatham Election, and the Dockyard Promotion Committees have disclosed many singular and pertinent facts; yet the latter tribunal, by limiting its enquiries to the alleged misconduct of one party, instead of exposing the actual intrigues, persecutions, and jobbery so long pursued and sanctioned by successive Whig Ministries, has weakened the effects of its Report by its obvious party bias. Mr. Keating´s subsequent attempt to force the subject upon the House of Commons at midnight, on July 5, 1853, was so pure and officious a "manifesto of spitefulness," as it was then designated, that the subject, though of such importance, was again sacrificed through contempt for the feeble rancour displayed by its introducer.
