SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. --~ - -- TIMES.—The Chancellor of the Exchequer is so speech ngthe deliveredeaplaaesitty clever a man that h e constant l y d ece ives himself by upnedeeerhrt he The elaborate signal instance of this self-deceptio n . Th e H ous e of Commons is longing for a settl emen t o f t h e R e form question. It recognises its diffi cu l t i es ; i t i s con scious that it has dallied with a p ro bl em w hi c h b e comes more in o f night others. was a in volved the longer it remains unsettled •, it is ready to welcome any proposals which would redress the glaring defects of our representativersystem without subverting the principles of the Constitution. The country is of the same mind. The course the Ministers of the Crown have adopted is not, the Chancellor of the E xc h equer la s t night confessed, flattering to themselv es . 'This is true, but they might have converted it into a n opportunity of triumph. " An offence handsom e ly ac k n owledged," as Lord Delamere said last week, quoting the most brilliant comedies, " confers an obligation," and if the Mini stry had shown that they frankly recognised the position in which they were placed, and were dis posed to concede freely what it is incumbent upon any Ministry to concede, no ungenerous construc tion would be put upon their conduct, and they might have achieved a distinguished success. It is now probable that their conduct of Reform must be a continued humiliation, and the only practical question is whether the House of Commons must not take the matter into its own hands and use the Ministry as an instrument to register its Resolu tions. The Administration is ready, Mr. Disraeli said, to consult the sense of the house and to accept its suggestions—words which may indicate a desire for real co-operation, or a supineness ready to bend to any fate. The House of Commons is fortunately not called upon nicely to discriminate the mean ing of these phrases. Its desire—and in this respect, as in so many others, it reflects the spirit and intelligence of the nation—is to settle the problem of Reform on terms which may be accepted as permanent for a generation. It has declared over and over again the necessity of an extensive enfranchisement ; it has manifested as often its de termination not to take away anything from its own representative character. But now there is a need of prompt and immediate action, compared with which the fate of a Ministry or the ambition of an &pposition is a matter of trifling consideration. To eject the present occupants of office from the Treasury Bench would delay the solution of Reform for at least twelve months, and too probably for a longer period ; to keep them there is to employ the services of several able administrators, and to con ciliate an opposition which might be too powerful if unloosed.: The highest considerations demand a de termination to abstain from party triumphs. The House of Commons must take the Ministry at their word, and mould the resolutions so as to correspond to the requirements of the case. The house must express the sense the Chancellor of the Exchequer is ready to consult ; it must put forth the sugges tions he is willing, on behalf of his colleagues, to accept ; and so the session of 1867 may not be wasted, and the work of Reform may be accom plished. HERALD—In the fortnight which is to elapse before the House of Commons will be asked to enter upon the consideration of the Government resolu tions, the country will, we trust, study carefully, and consider fairly, the speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. We do not think we allow ourselves to be blinded by our long admiration for the dis tinguished leader of our party when we say that it affords a conclusive vindication of the course which the Government has resolved upon pursuing, and an irrefragable statement of the true principles of Parliamentary Reform. In calling upon the House of Commons to divest itself of that party spirit with which it has usually and legitimately ap proached the discussion of this question, Mr. Disraeli, who certainly is not the man to underrate the im portance of party organisation, or to dispute the benefits of party spirit, summoned the house to i h te oltl eao l b i gt e si eos mrnl settle va a tec e t ra tsnote the Rhbeai be attained . eae nf t a leo tosar longm ngo a e r n i seen n h n e y . ea tnn s Adpe o that spirit i 1131 nay a or havePvi deaasyirfwithouttayhaveeddwhich ° e a;dealing attempted the ell);.tni ets s co operation of the other side of the house, can settle it. The Government does not present its scheme to the house saying, " Tak e thi s resolved to ide by the leading principles of its own or none at all." Whilst plan, which it could not abandon with honour or safety, it will receive propositions coming from the other side of the house with the desire to find in them the means of rendering the measure more complete and satisfactory. In fact, the Government says to the House of Commons—" This question of Reform is one of your own stirring up. By the manner in which you have dealt with it its settlement has now become a matter of urgent importance. We have resolved to do our utmost to bring aboutthat settle ment; and the only way in which we can find a pos sibility of attaining it is to take you into our confi dence, to invite your co-operation. It would have been more agreeable to us to introduce a bill ; but this is not a time to consider the complacency of Ministers or the pride of parties, and our past expe• rience shows the danger of that policy. To effect a settlement of this question we must all give and take. We ask you, therefore, to meet us, to rise superior to mere party spirit, as we have risen above our personal predilections. We want to bring in a bill that will pa ss , and pass with promptitude." DAILY NEWS. —Of all the places of evening en tertainment which a re now open in London there is none more attractive than the House of Commons when Mr. Disraeli is announced to perform. This great actor's British Constitutional Statesman is as clever a personation as his Buckinghamshire coun try gentleman. Both are a little artificial ; but they are not the less a mus i ng on that account. But though amusement i s very w ell in its way, it ought not to interfere with b us i ness. To be put off with a player when a statesman is needed, is as impertinent as a jest out of place. Mr. Disraeli's speech yes terday evening must have brought these reflections home to the minds of his most enthusiastic admirers in the very crisis of their enjoyment of his eccentric history, his whimsical philosophy, and his piquant personalities. The practical conclusion of his lengthened exposition is clear. The Government is determined to keep office, and to let Reform take its chance. It is not, Mr. Disreali has discovered, a question on which the fate of ministries should de pend. It is not a party question, because all parties have tried their hands at it and failed. It is a House of Commons question, because the House of Commons has refused to accept any of the proposi tions of the various Administrations which have attempted to deal with it ; and because the mo ti ons which revived the subject in and after the year 1848, and the amendment which defeated Lord Derby's Bill in 1859, proceeded from private and in dependent members. m in bigproperty basis is for nothing er POST.—lnto the merits o f the resolutions it would be premature to enter a t p resen t. We may, how ever, say at once there objec tionable involved in any of them. Rating fu rn i s h es , t perhaps, a better_ qualification than renta l, and so the m a j or i ty o f t h e necessarily House of Commons thought last year when they adopted Lord Dunkellin's motion and defeated the Government. Again, no one can seriously complain if no boroughs are completely disfranchised, pro vided the franchise is extended to their satisfaction. Those who represent the borough interest may de mur to Mr. Disraeli's figures, and the inferences he would draw from them, but still the general prin ciple of the third resolution would probably be ac cepted by those who were truly anxious about the passingf 1 of a Reform Th eau t which we fancy will be found with t he resolutions is that they carry us a short way on our journey, and that their accept ance is quite consistent with the future loss of the measure they are intended to introduce. The vital issue will not be raised until the House of Commons is asked to decide whether the Government offer a sufficient extension of the franchise. But on this point they are now silent. When the House goes into committee on the resolutions, we conceive it will be the duty of the Government to state the substance of the measure they propose ; as other wise the house may reasonably object to pledging itself to resolutions in total ignorance of the man ner in which they arc to be applied. We did not, however, understand Mr. Disraeli to say that the resolutions should be discussed otherwise than as abstract propositions, and we cannot therefore assume that the initiatory step proposed by the Go vernment will be taken as a matter of course even 167. Bill by those most desirous of seeing a lib. c orin passed. ADVERTISnII.—It is due to the Derby Minist..' to say, that while we do not quite like the visage ofth,2 forthcoming Reform measure, so far as we fancy we can discern some of its features, we are willing to wait until it is Hie and fairly unfolded befog.; we condemn it. Mr. Disraeli again and again assured the house that Ministers were willing to listen at tentively, and to give due weight to any sugges tions which may be made with the view of improv ing the measure. Under these circumstances it would be ungracious to prejudge their scheme, or to assume towards it a hostile attitude. But while we are willing to extend every possible amount of in dulgence to the Government, and not condemn their measure before it has been submitted to Parliament and the public, we deem it right to make some ob servations with the view of indicating what we con sider indispensable provisions in any Reform mea sure which the country can be expected to accept as a satisfactory settlement of the question. First, everybody expects that there will be a large ex tension of tke suffrage downwards. To suppose that Mr. Disraeli will bring in a bill, or resolu tions, having no such feature, is to suppose that he must have taken leave of his senses. But how shall the suffrage be extended? Shall the £7 householders, or the £8 householders, or the £5 householders, be enfranchised ? Somehow or other no one appears to expect either of these conces sions. People have come to the conclusion—we know not on what grounds—that the new measure is to grant, in some way or other, absolute house hold suffrage. If it does so, it will be more libe ral than Lord Russell's bills of 1852, 1854, and 1864, and more liberal than Mr. Gladstone's bill of last year. But then, if such a proposal as this be made, we must expect to find it balanced by some provisoes intended to prevent the utter " swamp ing" of the higher and middle classes. Such pro visoes have been recommended by several noted Liberals. Eighty years ago, Mr. Horne Tooke pro posed a wide suffrage, but he proposed also to give ten votes to each of the wealthier electors. More recently, Mr. Bouamy Price, Mr. Rathbone Greg, and Mr. Mill have given their approval of such a safeguard. Mr. Mill, however, only suggests six votes each for the educated classes. TELEGRAPII.—We are not going to quarrel with Ministers about their motives—we assume good motives; we are not going to question the spirit in which they have acted—we sympathise with the painful plight of so many politicians debarred from the luxury of indulging in the last infirmity of noble minds. Mr. Disraeli may leap into the gulf which he helped to open, and we shall condole with the survivors. But, we ask, what claim have the pre sent Government—except, perhaps, their willing ness to become the clerks of the house—upon that forbearance which they demand almost as a right? Why, for their sakes, should we abandon, even for a moment, that great modern improvement, the salt of the Parliamentary system, the real distinction between the English and the American system — government by responsible Ministers ? 'Why should we repeal responsible government for a session in order that the Cabinet of Lord Derby should re main in office ? The British Constitution and par liamentary usage are no doubt elastic enough to lend themselves to forms of procedure ; but far stronger reasons must be shown for acquiescence in this particular form, if it is to have full warrant. It is no light thing to throw upon the entire house the burlien of responsibilities that properly belong to Government. And for what ? That we may discuss and adopt resolutions which, so far as they have been explained, are alike distasteful to the house and to the country. If, when they are be fore us, the resolutions do not promise a sounder measure of reform than that sketched by Mr. Dis raeli, the Government must then take them back and tell us what they really mean, or take themselves out of office. There is no other alternative. As we Understand it, this Tory plan for the evolution of au inadequate project, intended to " reconstruct the House of Commons," is one that lands us in nothing less than a Convention Parliament and a Provisional Government. THE REFORM DEMONSTRATION. THE SPEECHES AT THE AGRICULTURAL HALL. On the platform were Mr. E. Beales, M.A., Col. Dickson, Professors Rogers and Beesley, Dr. Per fitt, Mr. T. B. Potter, M.P., Mr. P. A. Taylor, M.P., The Donoghue, M.P., Mr. Bradlaugh, Mr. Ernest Jones, &c. The Scottish deputations : Glasgow—Councillor John Burt, president ; James Moir, vice-president ; and Mr. George Jackson, secretary of the Scottish National Reform League. Auchtermuchty, Messrs. John and Thos. Menzies ; Aberdeen, Mr. John Anderson ; Dumbartonshire, Mr. James Nisbet; Edinburgh, Mr. John Grant; Galashiels, Mr. Oliver Rae ; Haddington, Mr. Robert M'Donald ; Kilmarnock, Mr. C. Johnson and banner ; Paisley, Councillor Robert Cochrane ; Port Glasgow, Mr. Alex. Carmichael ; Selkirk, Mr. David Linton. Mr. BEALES, who upon coming forward to address the meeting was loudly cheered, said that he con gratulated them on the demonstration of that day, which had been conspicuous for its observance of law and order, and of which the metropolis might, well be proud. The speaker next explained the rea sons for the absence of Mr. Bright, and read a letter from Mr. J. S. Mill, who stated asone of the reasons for his absence that he considered that " his taking part in any public meetings should be confined to exceptional circumstances." Mr. Beales proceeded to comment on the letter, which he pronounced to be in its general terms very different to the homily which Lord Derby had t rea t e d th em (th e R e f orm Leaguers) e t rs ak ) e to place i, n ; the House of Lords on Friday night, when he s a id th a t th ey wou ld b e h e ld re sponsible for any d es t ruc ti on o f p ro p er ty w hich but it was the law, and not Lord Derby, who would have to decide that question. He (Mr. Beales) would like to know how their demon stration differed from any Royal or municipal pro cessions. He would tell Lord Derby who were the men that were responsible for any breach of law and order. It was the party who foolishly, obsti nately, and selfishly resisted the just claims of the people, and sought to maintain class interests. Why, even Lord Russell was so carried away by class feelings and oligarchical prejudices as to declare that manhood suffrage and the ballot, which had been declared for at large meetings, through the length and breadth of the land, had not a single supporter in either House of Parliament. (Groans.) But Lord Derby had said that such con cessions would be equivalent to revolution. Ile (Mr. Beales) contended that the Government and the Parliament were at variance with the people. (Hear, hear.) To deny the people the rights they claimed was a violation of all common sense, law, and decency—political decency ; and he charged Lord Derby with violating the true principles of the Constitution. Mr. Beaks concluded by deprecating any wish on the part of the Reform League to dis turb the public peace, but said that they would con tinue to agitate this question until the people of the United Kingdom had their full share of political power. (Loud cheers.) The Reform League Minstrels, at this stage of the proceedings, vocally rendered " The Reform League Chorus," which was received with loud cheers. Professor ROGERS, president of the Oxford Re form League, proposed the first resolution, as rd fol lows : " That this meeting consider it their which is not based duty to distinctly declare thatno ofm theetahsourpeefooprlein Parliament will be satis factor y i m p rove ment of the representation upon the principle of the people directly and personally so represented, itea such representation be in g onl y virtual and sectional, and that such direct and real re p resentation can only themselvesus bdein ofg a be effected by means of residential and registered man hood suffrage, protected i n its free and honest exer cise of the ballot." He said that they distrusted, and with good reason, the p ersons who had taunted them in the first place, and who now would mock them with a delusive promise, which, if carried out, would only be a mockery and a sham. The °Ned; of the present meeting was to endeavour to secure those rights for the people of which they had so longi o been Commons unjustly toelected b a y li t e h y e nationwished ; the and h use of with regard to the House of Lords , t he y wished to be deprived.

With regard to class legislation, let them look at the Cati; le Plague Bill and the Night Ponelii:m: Act, by p t , Iple were taxed to find gamekeepers for the.rich. But, crowning wrong of all, let them look at the present state of Ireland, the coun try which had been misgoverned for centuries. After some fartiler remarks on these subjects the speaker concluded by moving the resolution. THE o'DoNoGIICE, M.P., seconded the resolution. He said he had just left the House of Commons, and he could tell them as a matter of fact that the Government had not introduced a Reformßili. (Loud groans, and cries of "Turn them out") The im pression left on his mind was that the Tory party in tended to carry a Reform Bill through the House of Commons without consulting the people. They would see the papers in the morning, and be able to decide whether the impression on his mind was the correct one. The hon. gentleman then spoke at considerable length on the reform question, andcom pared the electoral franchise as at present existing in some of the continental countries, in America, and in the . colonies, with that existing in this country, and asked if the English nation would be content with their present fractional possession of political power. He said that millions of the people in Ire land would unite with the people of this country in advancing the common cause of reform. Mr. T. B. POTTER, M.P., in supporting the mo tion, alluded, amidst considerable interruptions to several of the features of the reform measure pro posed by Mr. Disraeli, which he characterised as wholly unsatisfactory and not of a genuine character. He stated that it transferred no portion of the pre sent overwhelming power of the landed interest, but which was carefully revised to protect them. Mr. TAYLOR, M.P., supported the resolution, and said that he had just come from the Theatre of St. Stephens, and he had gladly escaped from that atmosphere to the Agricultural Hall. At the pre sent time the House of Commons was thinking of how much reform it could give them without con ceding too much of its present interests ; and, se condly, how little they could induce the people to accept. Mr. Moir. (of the Scottish Reform League), in supporting the resolution, said that there was a set of " audacious wretches" in the country, both north and south, who spoke of the masses of the people as having no stake in the country ; but had they no stake ? Why, they were liable to be called upon to sacrifice their lives in the service of their country, and he thought that a large stake. Some time ago he had been asked for what reason he would give a vote to a man who could not write, and his reply was for the same reason that the inquirer would jus tify the punishment of a man for breaking a law which ho had never heard of. put to the meeting an d _ carried l'he r u es n o a l n n i t m io o n us w lyff then Mr. Ernest Jones proposed the second resolution as follows :—" That this meeting desires most ear nestly to press upon the Liberal members of the House of Commons the absolute necessity, as they regard the peace and welfare of the country, of not consenting to any measure of Reform designed to evade the full and just rights of the people to be directly represented in their own branch of the Legislature." He said that the Tory Government was a " Godsend" to many half-hearted Liberals, and would enable them to accept a small measure of Reform and then excuse themselves on the plea that they had taken the most they could get from the Tories. The Tories had saddled the country with a vast national debt, and if they could have had their way we should now have been at war with the United Stetes of America. They were the enemies of progress, and whilst all tie rest of the world was pressing onwards, the Tories were standing still. Professor BEESLEY seconded the resolution. He said be was in no hurry to see the question settled ; he hoped they would not take the advice of those parties who said, take all you can get. They were close upon obtaining manhood suffrage in 1832, and if they had not compromised the matter would have had it granted them. Mr. BRADLAUGH supported the resolution. He said they had shown how many hundreds of thou sands of working men they could take out into the streets of London on this question, and it would show the Government that if they did not give them the measures they asked that they could sweep them (the Government) away from their path. lie advised them not to be content with simply passing these " sham resolu tions." He trusted they would not consent to be governed by the present House of Commons, which was composed of the railway interest, the sons and relatives of the peers, and were the worthless out side gill which concealed the rotten gingerbread underneath which was predominant, whilst the people were prevented from sending true value in the persons of t hose they might desire to choose as their representatives. The Rev. A. O'NEILL proposed the third resolu tion, filled up as follows :—" That, in the opinion of this meeting, the propositions made in the House of Commons this evening, on the subject of the Reform of the representation of the people in Par liament, are eminently unsatisfactory, and com pleted the proof of the present Government being unworthy of the confidence of the country." Mr. Councillor BURT, of the Glasgow Reform League, seconded the resolution, which was car ried, and The proceedings terminated with the customary votes of thanks. A grand banquet took place at Washington on the Bth January in commemoration of the 52d an niversary of the battle of New Orleans in 1815. The Hon. F. P. Blair presided.

The following letter has . editor of the Anglo-American Timev-- Sir,—No two nations are doing so raucltto mkd the character of each other as England and America. To promote between them mutual harmony by mutual knowledge is a truly noble work. This is the work of the Anglo-American Times, and by it many friends of liberty and peace are strengthener-1 and encouraged in their struggles for the rigl i t While thanking you f or your l a b ours I would join . in the sentiment recently expressed by my friend the Rev. A. L. Post, of Pennsylvania, published in. ' the London Freeman, that. England and Amerk a might unitedly advance in wise and just measur es, and become leaders and examples to other nations. I will refer to three historical facts to show the - value of mutual knowledge between England and America. The battle of New Orleans was fought January 8, 1815, but peace between England and America wa s concluded on the 24th December, ISI4. A tele_ gram to that effect by an Atlantic cable—bad one then been laid—would have saved the lives of a thousand Englishmen slain in that battle. In 1811 there were two parties in the American Congress-- one for peace with England, the other for war. The latter party declaimed against England on ac count of the " Orders in Council," which, though framed against the policy and edicts of Bonaparte, injured American commerce. The peace party, an ticipating that very soon intelligence might be received that the objectionable " orders" had be en repealed, asked for more time. A vote Was taken, and it was decided by one majority not to wait. War was declared soon after the expected intelli gence reached America of the repeal of the " orders," but it was then too late. Could a telegram have, been sent to America announcing their repe.l, the peace party would have carried its cau se prepar ing triumphantly and prevented the war. When M ason and Slidell were taken from the 7 rent the Ameri can Government designed to sur ren d er th em if re aqnudesateicnl itloliodno of pounds po ' l r in h d is s w w a e s ro no e t x k p n on ow de n d in in aEulan for war. Could each Government have sent a telegram to the other that amount of money would have been saved. But in commencing my letter I designed to refer to the knowledge communicated by the press in the Southern States, and to show its influence on the future of the Union. The slave party has always been hostile to the liberty of the press. When the rebellion began there were but two free presses in'a l l the slave States. A free press through all the South would have prevented secession. President John son's policy represents the ruling classes of the South unchecked by the influence of a free press. But a transition is going on. The Southern press is obtaining its liberty. This obtained, the inte rests and sympathies of the people will be one, North and South, and the Congress and the Presi dent one in their policy as exponents of the will of the people. When the anti-slavery reform began the liberty of the press, even in the free States, had been de stroyed by the slave party. William Lloyd Garrison published au anti-slavery newspaper in Boston, Massachusetts. For this he was dragged through 4,7 the streets with a rope and thrust into prison; but he maintained his ground, and published the Liberator in that city till the slaves were free. J. G. Birney published an anti-slavery paper at Cincinnati. The press was destroyed, but re-established, and after wards removed to Washington. In its columns in that city " Uncle Tom's Cabin" appeared in chap ters. This was its origin. The anti-slavery press of John G. Whittier was destroyed by a mob in Philadelphia, but the attempt to publish it was re newed with success, and it was continued to the end of slavery. The Rev. Mr. Lovejoy published an anti-slavery newspaper in Alton, Illinois, and for this was slain by the mob. Two friends of the slave, Benjamin Lundy and Zebiva Eastman (the latter now the American Consul in this city) re ' solved, without knowing each other's design, to re establish a free press in that State, and succeeded in doing so. Eventually the whole Northern presa opposed the extension of slavery, and thus enabled the Federal Government to carry out this policy, whatever it might cost. But, passing from the Free to the Slave States, I observe that in all, these either state-law or lynch-law prevented discussion on the slavery question, and no press was free. Mr. Clay, the present American Ambassador to Russia, having emancipated his slaves, established in Ken tucky an anti-slavery press. A mob gathered and determined to destroy it. Mr. Clay resolved to defend it, and having made his will placed a small cannon in the office. A few friends sup. ported him with their presence and aid. Eventually, while he was ill, the mob broke into the office, boxed up the press, and sent it to a free State. Ile maintained his ground, and printing his paper in a free, published it in a slave State. It was suspended in the Mexican war. When I visited Kentucky I laboured to re-establish it, but was compelled to leave on pain of death. Six weeks afterwards Mr. Clay established an anti-slavery paper in that State. It was, I believe, merged in the Louisville Journal; and this, with the Free South, published at Newport, in the same State, were the only free presses in the South, where the rebellion began.. Hence there was no opportunity in the slave States of discussing the questions of liberty and union— secession and slavery. There was no check to the power, and no contradiction of the falsehoods of slaveholders. There was no opportunity of en lightening the people ; of ascertaining the strength and numbers of Union men ; and forewarning the millions of non-slaveholders of the inevitable de struction that must come upon them from the might of the North. A free press through the South would have been a better support to the Federal Government than armies or navies. But the press was subsidised by the slave party, and secession followed. As the Federal military power advanced in the South, free presses sprang up to sink again when ever that power was withdrawn. But the slave system has departed, and with it the chief motive to paralyse the freedom of the press. Both editors and people are acquiring new courage. Wherever in the. South the policy of justice to the black man is fully discussed, it secures the voice of the people. A large measure of power, owing to the ignorance and prejudices of the people, is still in the hands of the ex-slaveholders, and they have still a heavy hand on the freedom of the press. This is but temporary. The North must give character to the Federal Government, and this will secure a free press for the South. in ess formerly ee published a;h e y sym pathised As illustrative of the transition nowg f o u i l n l g on, s J.

He says in his new journal, " If any look to me to foster the fell spirit of hate and revenge that rankles in the breasts and burns upon the tongues of some of our brethren they will be disappointed. . . . What can we effect by fomenting feelings of hatred and malignity, but to sow the noxious seeds in the breasts of our offspring that will and must inevit ably fruit in another harvest of desolation ? As Christians, do we desire to repeat the scenes of the past four years in each succeeding generation ? Are we so earthly as to desire that our sons may find graves upon future battlefields, and devote our daughters to widowhood and sorrow ? Forbid it, gracious God !"
