mid as remarkable an audience, as he himself nonfamed,
as be had ever witnessed. His speeches, masterly
orations as they were, have met with but low
opponents, and his subotantial arguments oa the Irish
question cannot with justice be refuted. Of the Con.
servatine, their general attitude during this Yorkshire

submissioa to the inevitable." Yoe his masterly
