He remern- that the building bered that the principal promoter of the undertaking was a person who acted as the agent for a member of Parlia ment, who, from that time to the present, had corres ponded with him (Dr. B.) When that gentleman was informed of the prominent part taken by his agent in the undertaking, he was shocked, and proposed to take mea sures which would have been unpleasant to the party con cerned ; but he (Dr. B.) interfered to prevent any such course : he showed that it would be attributed to him, and he implored the member of Parliament to leave the contest in his hands, as he had no fear of the issue. Speaking of the determined persistence in their fallacies by the Socialists, he said that when Robert Owen himself was compelled to give up some of his strongest arguments, would find uld commit be f;tal to his argument ; if they only applied the entum ad hoininem, they would find his reasoning recoil to his own overthrow.
