lain 011,1110 there and spoke of matter+ that were not
altogether congenial or in touch with the meeting,
they mine expect some adverse remarks now and then.
(Hear, bent.) If any gentleman addressed them, he
hoped they would give him every attention, and think
it over for themselves. They were not afraid to have
both sides put before them, for they did net fear as to
which way their opinions would be formed. (Ap-
plause.) There was in theme matters a motto which
lw should like to call their attention to, and that was
to recollect that noise, confusion, and row did not
make a political party either way' it was not argu.
mat to yell and to shout. Let them recollect the
motto of one of the principal landowners of
that place—" Meaner' =OM the man." (Loud ap-
plause.)
Mr. CART BATTIN, who Was enthusiastically
cheered, first expressed the pleasure he felt at seeing
such a splendid meeting. It showed him that they an :
Piddkerenthide were not more backward than
the other voter' in the Western Division of
Bonet. He might tell them, having been in
Revival pests of the di viaion, there was an
extreme interest taken in political questions, and
there war • knowledge shown by all those who were
for the first time *bout to exercise the franchise
knowledge which was hardly credible, and which
until be saw it he should not have believed. (Hear,
hear.) It did hiin a greet deal of gond, and it
encouraged his a great deal to find them take an
intense is these matter*. He was glad to find they
had studied for themselves massy at the questions
which they maid he called upon to decide, and he
found there were • great many questions which they
already knew a great deal about. But let them not
forget they uniald all learn something ; don't forget that
in politica as in other matters they. wanted to beer
both sides. He asked them to take his advice; when
they went in November next to record their vote.,
record it exactly as they liked; let them teU no man
how they were goirig to vote, but keep it to them.
selves. The Wren protected diem, foe no mortal man
could upll how they voted. (Cheers.) In the coming
election there would be no law than two million new
votem added to the roll, and they did hope they would
make their voices heard faithfully throughout the
land that they would vote not accordieg to the dic-
tation of anybody, but acowding to their own
individual opinions alterthey had considered both
aides, and after they had Inokeil into the gumption* for
themselves. (.tipplause.) In deciding this question
they should remember the 'privileges they were now
est thr Metres. and reform that had been
ac jettid in the peat, and the difference, if he might
nay in, in their own state now And y
it was half a century ago. (Hear, herrj
There had been one question that
beim brought very prominently before them
04 Late% and that was the question of Free Trade
and Fair Trade. Their must recollect that question
was gone into thoroughly many years siro. Many of
them were old enough to recollect the discussions that
took piece on that question. Many of them were ohl
enough to remember what their wage* were previosta
to that Trek= being settled. (Hear, hear.) He had
had the privilege Lindy of looking into wove of those
debates in the Mown of Omenione, and be found it
there stated that the agricultural labourers' wageeu in
the wort of *mimed were as low as fe. a week. and
many had Wren and families to keep out of it. At
that plineilld was something like Is. a loaf. They

Ilk. 1. instead of (Lnod systemic.) If this
reward was true let them look and see under which
system they flourished most—Free Trade, or Protec-
tion, Fair Trade, Reciprocity, or any other name they
liked to call it. (Cheers.) He knew perfectly well
there were many who told them they would not eu
back to the days of Protection, hut would go in for
what they oaUed Fair Trade--(laughter)—but they
should not forget that a few weeks ego some gentle-
men were advocating pretty strongly • protective duty
on ocern—Protection pure and aim*. (Hear, hear.)
That being so he would ask them to look carefully
at their utterances now. Watch Mr. Fano-
lhareon's words, and see whether the change
that had come oyes him lately WY • change that
they could depend upon, or 'imply a change of name,
and thee wed truly be was now as undoubtedly
wilml hes as be was tiro. (Applause.) Mr. .

Farquharann lately had an opportunity of .peaking at
Lyme Regi., and there he appeared rather repentant
on thie *object (Laughter.) He eeid he did I.nce
advocate a duty OA awn; he advocated it at Wiin•

Batten then explained the ciromintanoes if the
Govermuent dehmt, pointing out plainly that it had
littl.• to do with the " poor man's beer," but that it
rather turned on the death dutite. lie Ago alluded
to the apiendid stixteemannhip of Mr Gladatene
in surmounting the Russian difficulty. (The
audience rose in binsa( and cheered Mr.
Gladstone enthwilastically). He expreneed the
hope their leader would nom be back to power, and
he had the confident hope they would be able ui give
him one vote from the Western division of I)oreet.
(Cheers.) Mr. Batten experased hie regret that in the

(Applause.) With regard to the Hone, of
