A prepos of "German bands," how kind and
considerate it was of that individual who engaged
those minstrels to serenade the Liberal camp. I'm
sure the Liberal host, although they reckoned upon
the full house they got, did not for a moment imagine
their political enemies thoughtful enough to enliven
their proceedings with musical honours. lam afraid
we under-rate the liberality of the Tories sometimes.
It is certain that when they were ensconced in the
adjacent stables the soft strains of "Grandfather's
cloak" blended most melodiously with the practical
lessons we were learning inside, but when the
triumphant cheers went up for our worthy
" President" and "Mr. Gladstone" the "Symphony
austere' was utterly lost. The " tick " reminds me
of the condition of somebody's "bi 11..

—Carried.

Two remarks made at the Liberal meeting rather
Interested me. One was an intimation by a respected
townsman, which implied that a move was on the
board to oust the worthy Liberal Councillors and
Aldermen in the November Election. I have,
personally, many reasons for supposing that this is on
the cards, and the Tories are nursing the vain hope
that it will succeed. I should like to say more on this
subject but space is limited. I will content myself
with "We shall see." Let the members of the
Liberal Association remember that in one of their
resolutions they are pledged to carry the same
measure as our friends at Poole, viz., "to procure the
return of Liberal members to the Town Council," not
forgetting that a clause vIC4 Mr!, will be inaerted in
the Tory proposition should they follow in our steps.
The other remark MY made by a gentleman, whose
office on that occasion I confess I envied. When he
observed be ca.cupied the post of door-keeper, I
thought how much better it was "to be door-keeper
in the house of the Liberals, than to dwell in the tents
of the Tories."

In the Briciport Liberal Association the Liberals I
have laid the main groundwork—the foundation stone,
a their future power and conquests in this borough.
The seat has been snatched from them by the °mei.
64i, at moment when they most wanted to cast in
tiler item representation with the proud and
F. 1114 conquest made by their ancient nation. But
the good Liberals he warned that the foundation
ol what promises to be an impervious structure be not
,s4kew. by want of unanimity and amalgamation, by
•"^wmg themselves to remain lax and unanxioua
low an idea of fancied security. I have read of an
elm, insidiously spreading dissensions in the camp
of the foe, and avail themselves of their success by
deetroYing the victims piecemeal. The application is
not far to seek, a. let the Liberals of Bridport beware
lest their temple be rent in twain. It is etrwrige—
tiring "tranke—that the town which had rejoiced in
lag represented during the part 40 years and more,
by three of the most consistent members who ever sat
on the liberal side of the House (I refer to the late
Mr. 11.4.50 n, Mr. Mitchell, and the esteemed Mr.
Rani) shoold have allowed itself to become the scene
of a disaster, at such an important era as the present.
1 said it 11AS strange, but it is now easily accounted
1.. r. I firmly believe that the liberals were, in a
"treat nieasure, ignorant ,d the questionable means
brou,:ht to bear upon certain portions of the consti-
lererV by the pim.ition, or they would have laboured
wore industriously to counteract such effects, which
such men were only too successful in pm-lacing. The
Cmservatives, who see dangerous " breakers ahead"

Member? mark you the high compliment to

walority. \% hr, they don't believe it themselves—
they don't look as if they did. I warn the working men
of this town. —who are no longer to be cajoled by beer,
led to take faith in false promises, drawn aside by
ridiculous inducementa—to beware. Could those men,
who disseminated such promises, fulfil them? It is
'UTe..ILIT to go into any abstruse calculation, in
:Idet to discover their ability to do so. They knew
they e"old not, and they knew their candidate could
IVA. The working men of this borough, if ever they
have learnt a lesson, and • bitter one, have learnt it
SOW; but they will not so easily again be deceived by
wbbOwring flatteries or the bombast of puffed person-
ig" who endeavour to stand against the rising tide of
a great nation's convictions. They are not again to be
„d",lved by men who fancy they can set their defiant
against the edge of rising waters, and, on the
Principle of Tory prescription, order them to recede at
,_their feet. The working men are showing their will-
