THE STIN - i LONDON; SAVURDAY EVENING, JULY 26 ) 1.856 ( horst I"elmesrhon) is concerned, does the utmost credit to his spirit and promptitude. (Hear.) There is oh the part of the house great w illingness to discharge its functions of supply. - Whatever money is for the public service is cheerfully granted. If the noble lord, when at war, wants troops, they are given to him. If he is erigegerl in negotiations and requires forbearance, it is yieleemt with equal readiness. Whether he prosecutes war or makes treaties, he can °aunt upon the support of the house ; but when you come to the other functions of a Minister in a legislative assembly, I say that the measures of Govern ment, when prepared, are not intrusted to such a confiding majority as can only exist in Psis house when founded upon traditional connection or identity of principle. The noble lord and his colleagues, when they introduce mea sures upon these great subjects, are never sure that those measures will succeed. There are two conseqUances of the most injurious character which result from that circum stance. It is a great evil that Ministers who think it ne cessary to legislate upon subjects of paramount importance should fail in their attempts at legislation ; but, there is another evil inevitably consequent upon this to which I attribute much of the present disaster. The moment that a Government is habituate 1 to defeat, the moment that its members find that the eh anew are that the measures which they propose will not succeed, that moment their measures cease to be prepared with that scrupulous exactitude, that fineness, that finish and maturity of preperatioa, which character i , o the measures of a Government which upon the intro !action of a measure to Parliament feels all the respon sibility of legislation. (Hear.) Thus it happens that it ends in the Mini try so circumstanced obtaining momentary po pularity or making a transient reputatioue-if reputation you can call it—by dealing with a variety of subjects, so that the country may say, Here is a Government of men of btisiness ; see whet they deal with ! These are the men * that we wanted. They are going to construct a court of appeal. All the questions which 3)0 years have not solved are about to receive their solution from these practical men. Tha law of di , iorce is to be reformed. The law of matrimony is to be improved. The law of partnership is to be adapted to an enlightened age and the wants of a great commercial community. All those great subjects to which I have adverted at the commencement of my obser vations, and with which the thought of the country has long been engaged, are at last to find a settlement and -a solution from men of business, who, irrespective of party consideration, are determined to show what can be done by , those who are animated only by a desire to pass wise and satisfactory measures. When Parliament met, it was an nounced by a high—although anonymous—authority, that a new era had set in in the history of the English Parlia ment ; that struggles for power and place were to cease, and that we were to have a body of Ministers who were essentially practical men—men of business, who were to deal with the difficult questions which had baffled all pre ceding Ministries. We were told that " measures, not men," was to be, in future, the principle of our political life ; and very shortly after that we had an illustration of the new system in the introduction of the Partnership Bill of the right hon. gentleman. (A. laugh.) But, Sir, in what does all this end ? After six months of idle phantoms and of empty visions it i 3 no longer " measures, not men," but, enfortuoately, men without measures. (Laughter.) If it be true—and I cannot believe that, when pondered over, there will be many who will doubt its truth -that this un fortunate state of affairs arises from the Government being unable to command a Parliamentary majority, what is the remedy which is before us? In the first place, I shall be met with an objection which is perhaps not much raised in this house, but which is heard in every part of the country, alike in the saloon and in the market-place— " this is all the con sequence of the Reform Bill." (Hear , hear.) One of my friends near me says, " Hear, hear," and that shows hoe• popular and how plausible is this idea. 'Well, is,the Re form Bill the cause of this state of affairs, because, when there is a great difficulty, there aro always many specious explanations afloat, and the question is, although specious, aro they true ? It i 3 24 years since the Reform Bill came into operation, and certainly during 14 years out of those 24 you have had the affairs of this country administered by Ministries of almost every shade of opinion, who have commanded large and compact majorities. Lord Grey, who represented the high Whigs, had not only a large and commanding majority, but a majority of which the only fault was that it was too large. Lord Melbourne, who re presented what was called " Whig Radicalism," but which in more courteous parlance we will now call " Liberalism," Lord Melbourne for five years carried on the affairs of this country with a sufficient majority, even in a Parliament which had been called together by his rival. Certainly the 6th and 7th years of his administration were not distin guished by great strength, but that was attributable not so much to the want of a majority as to a circumstance which I am sure the friends of Lord Melbourne have now lived long enough to regret—that he clung to office beyond the time at which Parliament would tolerate it. When he left office Sir R. Peel appealed to the country as a Tory and Conservative Minister. Was there then no command ing majority ? There was a considerable and ample majo rity, which allowed Sir Robert Peel to carry on affairs ; and, therefore, it does not appear to me that there is any truth whatever in the popular statement that the Reform Bill is the root of all this evil. (Hear, hear.) But, then, it may ba said that this state of things ie to be attributed to the fact that parties are broken up. It is a favourite topic to talk of the "dislocation" of parties. " Parties," they say, " no longer exist because there are no longer distinctive principles among public men." That also is a very current opinion ; but is it true? (Hear.) For the interest of the country and for our own honour, let us pause a moment to inquire whether it is true. Sir, I shall not venture to make any observations on hon. gentlemen who are members of this house. It is my kappinees to thick that I have personal friends on both sides of the house, and the question is of too great importance to de pend upon the opinions Of individual members on either side. But, if I look to the country; if I look to society in the genuine 801133 of the phrase, I moan to the society of classes in this country, I do not find that parties aro ex tinct- (Hear, hear.) When I listen to men who have paramount influence with great masses of the community, I do not find in their conversation anything to lead me to ,the conclusion that distinctive parties have ceased. I find two - great classes and bodies of opinion which I think I may fairly represent by epithets which, though not very happy nor very precise, have yet passed into popular ac ceptation—the epithets Conservative and Liberal. I hold that those are two claSses of opinion which are perfectly distinct, and in most instances entirely opposed the one to the other. Let me, that I may the more clearly explain my meaning, briefly advert to some points in which I think that that distinction is particularly manifest. I wish to speak with perfect respect of both classes, fur each is repre sents lin this country by numerous bodies of men. Each is supported by numbers, intelligence, property, and, in a word, by "respectability" in the true and legitimate mean ing of that phra e. Bat the dissimilarity of these opiuions is very peeceptible. For Example, I hold that to be a con servative-principle which regards the Parliainehtary settle ment of 1833 as a satisfactory settlement. I hold that to be a conservative principle which, without any blind or bigoted adherence to the doctrine on all possible occasions, believes that tampering with the suffrage is a g reat evil to the State. (Irouicarcheersfrom the Aliaisterial benches.) I believe I am right in maintaining that that is a conser vative principle which holds that the due influence of pro perty in the exercise of the suffrage is salutary and bene ficial. (Ironical cheers from the same quarter.) I think it is a conservative principle which holds that in any representative scheme the influence of United property ought to be sensibly felt. I hold that to be is conservative principle which would mrisatstiu in violate the union between Churca and State—(a deri sive cheer from Mr. Redfield), and which would net only preserve but expand the ecclesiastical institutions of th.s country.- I hold that to be a conservative principle which maintains that the establishment of the Church ,hould be respectel, an 1 that' the Church itself should not be the stipendiary of the civil power. I hold that to be a conser vative principle which would maintain the Esteblidatd - Church in li' hurl—(ironical cheers from the Min soerial benches)—believing that it is perfectly reconcileable with respect for the rights and privileges of all cl asses of her Majesty's subjects in that kingdom. I hold that to be a conservative principle which would cherish and protect all hereditary influences, because they are opposed to a crude ceutralisation, and because they are the source of a power at once beneficent and econo mical. I held that to be :a conservative principle which would respect venersble corporations—(laughter from the same quarters)—and up hold a free magistracy throughout the country. The ironi cal cheers of the hon. gentlemen opposite convince tee that I am right in this estimate, and that there is a body ,n this country which, though I had scarcely expected it, is even represented iu this house, and which holds opiuioes . exactly the reverse of what I have stated. ("Hear" from the Mieisterial benches.) The cheers from the Ministeriel benches reap e that there is in the c,;untry, and even in this house, is body whe believe that the Parliamentary settle ' merit of 1832 ought nut to be maintained, seeing that it arrests the 'progress of a cause in the advancement of which they feel an interest —a betty who believe that what we regard as the wholesome influence of property on the sef frage ought to be prevented—a body who, instead of che rishing a:'d encouraging, would check and repress the netu, ral influence of landed proportyon P arliamentar y tepresen titian. I have no fear of inisrepresentiutethe opinions of ebonageutleinen opposite where I say that there are among them those who look with suspicioe on the union between Church and .`State—who, if they bow toit, dose beca.useitis edreadyest rbli rhed—who are not in favour of expautiog, and . scareely in favoair of Maintaiuing Ourecclesiasticel institu tions—who Would b",:e glad to see the Church the sdpendiary of the ci, it pow it -who are opposed to hereditary influence -.- who, instead of a free magistracy, would have a e:agistrricy construelee 1 open principle which they regard as more pre cise and rational, but which, in our opinion, are not so favourable t) the preservation of public liberty ie this country. Ido not fall out with hon. gentlemen for inter tabling these opinions ; but their assent to my exposition of them shows that I am right in the supposition that in this country there are two great parties, and that ..those parties -have distinct principles. (Hear.) And if Igo to Another great brarrehef public life- to a subject which years ago did not attract much. ol the attention nt l'Aliatoent, but which now absorbs it, to the in) nu, . ,as many believe, of those measures of internal improvement to which her 31,jesty masie allusion in the Spe,:ch from.the throne—l mean • the g,•neral question of foreign affairs, I find, if not in this house, at least throughout the c,untrY, opinions quite oppoSed to eaeleothere (Rear.) Nor is this en unimportant ceeside ration, f,)-,-upon the prevalence of one or other of, thane clevee of opinion the whole form and aspect of the history of this country may be sail to depend. I have always thought with respect to foreign affairs that there wore-three . great questions on wh i c h it became many man who aspired to be a statesman ire England, as well as any Parliarepro Vary party which incurred the responsibdity of supperting such a man, to have clear- and precise ideas ; and these three are—the Russian empire, the Austrian empire, and our relations with the United States of America. There is, uo doubt, a class of persons who have always lorelted wiil great je lousy on the existence and policy of the Itussiau empire, and when we went ha war the object ec —the avowed object of that party—which they u.. aa WI energy, el lenience, an d earnestness, was the diemern berrnent of that empire.' (Hear. hear) For my own parte I have over been - of opinion that the dismemberment of the Russian empire ,was not an object which any states man ought to propose to himself—that such dismember ment, even-supposing it to be attainable, c ould not he at tained otherwise than by - one of those ong wars which must fatally exhaust the energy and indelialv tarnish the character of this country, and that, even if such dismem berment did take place; wo might find that the ultimate result would be to disarrange the belance of power in Europe in a manner prejudicial to our interests. On that question, howeveret here are manifestly taro of haloes, each. supports Iby a powerful party. Take again the case of the Austrian empire. It is a conservative opinion to hold that the maintenance of the Austrian empire is necessary to the indopmdence of Europe, and, if so, essential also to the c CiVilisatien, and even to the liberty of Eur o p e. But surely, there is a. ontrary oiriniore. (Neer.) Surely there is in this country a great party who tol [that, through the disrnem e bermeet of the Anstriansempire, very. great political a4.l' vantages might be obtaittert, not far this country only, but for the world and for mankind.

They are not only among the the house, because it is of the utmost importance most grave that concern a State, but they involve the very t tat we should accurately know the data on which the principles upon which society itself is base.l.

I willnow proceed to a depast sicleration. There were four measures, or, I would ratheraay meet over which another officer—the President of the four series of measures, which, in the heat of war, her Ma- Beard of Works—presides.

Are we to her told that upon these subjects there is no distinct policy in the coientryT . Do we not know that to-:.sorrow we might ,bp called upon in this house to give our votes on questions attar as these, and that upon them depend the-position and influence of the nation? (Hear.) I het lit to be a conservative opinion that, if we or any other Power should forcibly interfere-in the affairs of Italy with the view' of changing the political settlement of that country, the result would be one of those protracted wars which would fatally exhaust this conntry,and which, even supposing it to besucceredul, would le Lye Italy, very possibly, not in the possession of Austria, but under the doinini , n of someother Poweraslittle national. Look next to your relations with the United Stites. What is your policy with respect to that country? There are those who view with the utmost jealousy, and regard in a litigious spirit the progress of the United States of America —who think that any ad vancein their power or any expan sion of their territhry is opposed to the commercial inte rests, and perhaps also to the:political influence of England. Sir, I am not of that opinion. I am of a contrary opinion. (Hear, hear, from an hon. gentleman on the Ministerial si le.) I don't mean to say that on the question of the United States there is a division of opinion equally well defined with that which prevails on other questions. I can therefore understand the cheer of the hon. member; but he will hardly deny that there are distinctive principles hel I by two dill - et - out parties on this importaett subject. While nothing can be more monstrous than attemptson the pert of the people of the United States to attack the posses cons of ci' ilased Powers—attempts, for example, to appre piiate a Canadaor a Cuba. while such violations of interna tional law would, in the case of the United States, I do not doubt bring the same retribution and the same punishment as would visit infractions of public law by any other coun trya-yet I cannot forget that the United States, although independent, are still colonies, and still influenced by co lonial tendencies ; that where they come' in contact with large tracts of territory either wholly uninhabited or but sparsely occupied by an indolent and unintelligent race of mon, it is impossible—and you find it, impossible—to resist the expansion of those States, and that, moreover, that ex pansion is not in any sense injurious to England, but con tributes to her wealth—while (le: me say this in a whisper, lest it shouldcross the Atlantic) it diminishes the power of the United States. I am, therefore, opposed to the policy which looks upon the extension of that country, and the advance of those young communities with an eye of jea lousy and distrust. I apprehend, then, that with respect to these three subjects of foreign policy, on anyone of which we may at any time be called upon to act, there are dis tinctive opinions ; and that it is idle to pretend that parties have ceased, because on all political subjects men are now united in their sentiments. When lam told that parties are broken up, I say that the Conservative party in this country retains the opinions which ithas always professed, and is prepared to vindicate those opinions. I take it for granted that those who hold other opinions are equally earnest and equally ready. If I may be permitted to refer for a moment to a personal topic, I don't think that I am misrepresenting the feelings of hon. gentlemen who sit on this si le of the house when I state that in the observations which I have from time to time made, both on our inter nal and external affairs, I have generally expressed their opinions. But if there is such a thing as a Conservative party—if there are such things as conservative opinions, I should like to see where and by whom in this house are liberal opinions represented ? I really don't know whe ther her Majesty's Government represent them. (A laugh.) As far as I can form a judgment of the opinions which tho noble lord has generally professed—and I take hini .to be the chief and the- ablest exponent of his political associates cannot believe that he is not as ready to stand by the Parliamentary settlement of 1832 as any member who sits on this side of the house. The noble lord has frankly and explicitly told you that he does not disap prove of the just influence of property on the exercise of toe franchise—that he would resist any endeavour artifi cially to restrict it. He is net opposed to the land having a sensible influence on our representative system. This very session he announced his intention to support the Irish 'Church Establishment— he cannot be supposedto be adverse to our ecclesiteticel institutions—he has never been hostile to traditionary influences—he has on every occasion che rished and promoted them. The noble lord has never joined in any attempt to pull clown the free magistracy of the country; on the contrary, he has in several instances upheld them. But I may be told that, although in domestic politics the noble lord does not differ from gentlemen on this side of tee house, it is in his external politics that he is so danger ous—that he reserves all his Liberalism for foreign affairs. (" Hear, hear," from an hon. member on the Ministerial sole.) lam glad to have my statement borne out by a fol lower of the noble lord (A. laugh.) It so happens that during the present session, if not the opinion, the feeling of this house had been tested upon the three great cardinal points on which the foreign policy of England must depend —the Russian empire, the Austrian empire, and our rela tions with the United States. Let me for a moment recall what was the popular feeling this time last year respecting 'the first of these questions. The dismemberment of the Russian empire was then regarded as not only a probabi lity, but a-necessity by a great party in this country ; and men high in office, colleagues of the noble lord, sanctioned those opinions. Gentlemen in office publicly announced that no peace could be accepted by England which did not restore the independence of Poland, and at least, wrest the Crimea from the Emperor of Russia; and no doubt there was a general impression that, in regard to the great Power with which we wore lately at war, the noble lord entertained very extreme convictions. It was, in fact, with reference to that very subject that T took occa sion, in one of our debates, to lay down what I conceived to be the conservative principles on which peace should be negotiated. I maintained that the dismemberment of Rus sia, if possible, was, perhaps, not desirable, and, if at tempted to be attained, would lead to a struggle of a duration which I could not venture to estimate. I also indicated what I - deemed were—to use the epithets of another-the wise and statesman-like conditions on which a pacification might bo based. The views I then expressed were snot 'sanctioned by those who surrounded and fol lowed the noble lord. But when the hour of practice arrived, when the &elution of the question had to be effected, the conduct of the noble lord with respect to the Russian empire appears to me to have been as conservative as any conduct that we could have wished to see pursued. He agreed to a peace which recognised the integrity of the Russian empire, and the terms of the treaty were framed very much in accordance with the policy that I had sketche 1 out. Therefore, as far as his views concerning the Russian empire formed a test of his opinions, the noble lord is as little a votary of Liberalism as he is on the wide range of questions of internal interest to which I have ad verted. Then, turn to the Austrian empire. That un questionably was a subject on which -notwithstanding our recent experience of the conservative policy of the noble lord in regard to Russia—the greatest hopes are en t :rtained by the sincere supporters of liberal principles ; and the protocol of the Paris Conferences cot tainly seemed to authorise those expectations. What, then, has oc curred ? Although but a few weeks tow it was sup foxed that a violent interference was to take place in Italy, al though alteratiens.of the greatest magnitude were antici pated which would have totally changed the balance of power in Europe, yet, as far as I can gather, there is no chance whatever of these dangerous courses being followed by the noble lord. On the contrary, in a truly conservative spirit, he is endeavouring, in conjunction with our great ally, to obtain those temperate improvenlents in the con dition of Italy that all desire, by the aid and influence of Austrian authority. Let us come to the third case. A great many persons—and probably in this instance on more colourable grounds—believed that the noble lord would never have been content with less than a war with the United States.. We were told that he was prone to re sent an injury or insult without so much as asking or wait ing for expl mations—that he was bent on picking a quar rel—and a quarrel he .would have. Well, what happened? A very lamentable ch eemstan e occurred, if, indeed, a very great insult was not offered to the Government of this country. I may be permitted to soy that, when Mr. Cranipton received his letter of departure from the Presi dent of the United States, I from the first strove to dis courage nay discussion of our relations with the United States upon the narrow issue of the enlistment dispute. I thought that if over that grave debate took place it ought to embrace the main principle on !able% our policy towards that country ought to be founded. I - was persuaded that, if that discussion had been held in time, the people of Eng lend would have adopted a tone on this subject that would have relieved the American mind from the only cause which keeps alive any feeling of jealousy or suspicion to wards this country—namely, the mode in which we pre ' sumo to deal with Rusir appropriation of lands. How did the noble lord behave when the Minister of the Queen was may way—rudely expelled from Washington ? It was expected that this country mielit be involved, if not in war, at least in a bitter and protracted controversy ; but, on the contrary, the uaild dignity of Conservatism was never more adequately represented than it was by the noble lord on that occasion. After that occurrence who can suppose that the noble lord is the firebrand the world for some time assumed him to be? (A.laugh.) Well, Sir, under the cir cumstances, I cannot suppose that the Government of which the noble lord is at the head is the representative of liberal opinions. Whether I look to subjects of internal in terest, or to the great quit lions of foreign policy, the Go vernment, seem to me to be pursuing a course which is in harmony with Conservative policy and. Conservative prin ciples. But, because the Government are pursuing such a coarse, are we justified in saying that parties are broken up? It ,may be very convenient for some persons to promulgate this theory. It may be vary convenient for some persons that each ramours should be circulet 3 I j' but I protest against their authenticity. If the noble lord and his colleagues are pursuing a conservative policy, it is an erroneous assumption that the Conservative party is there• fore extinct. What party is extinct it is not for use now to say. I would rather leave it to the country to determine. I know it may be said that it would be more fair and straight forward, and more in accordance with the habits of the people of this country, that a consei vative policy should, be cerried out by theme. who are avowedly conservative states- Mon. That may be so; but I would remind those in the 'country to maintain conservative opinions, and who de-- phi - re the eousequeuces of a Parliamentary session like that now closing, that they have two sources of consolation in the present strata of affairs. In the first place, whet I think should be, and what, I have no doubt will be, the greatest Consolation to them is tip s ea their opinions prevalent in high places. T h ey may also find COll9 dation in what will of r e t t t h e e ir in; i v va it l z s tb , l t e h c e o t n i s b e te:aelnpcearyotf.the existing system — the deleterious is) flOeu ce which it will exercise upon the posi t i on The Liberal party can notexistwhe i its chief and selected men are in power, and continue to boll office, net only without carrying liberal principles into effect., but without even avowiog frankly their profession. ( Hear, hear) I see before me many gen tlemen, 'Member§ of the Government, who have obt Lined their seats in this house by their protestations to their constie uents-- . -by their liberal engagements with the great Liberal party, and who, by obtaining seats in this house, have also obtaineil seats in the Administratien.

The Conservative Indy will find upon reflection that from the competitive emulation of 'great political parties lies sprung that as ise and temperate system of Government which has so long c';aracterised the hietoreaof this country ; they will cherish with still great 2r interest; and they Nfill value still more highly the disitinctive principles which make them a party; and when they are told that the present lamentable state of public affairs is occaeiened by thebreak-up of paetieS, they at least can 8, . , Y) “Thatallegation does not apply to us; vse are a con e servative party ; a o hold conservative opinions; we are pre pared to meiutain them ; anti .
