Early WS year, there roe i sorry sari. with

of desists were =premed not oaly by their sasses, but
be,,. sorry so soy also by many of thar Muds, u
to whether Parlianssot would laat out the elloien. And
I anl bound to admit that I thought it quits on the
cards that I amid hare to some down to Weymouth

tion and for • very different object than The,. tad.

thia as sae man should tawards another ; and to real-
oleo the &dimities thus are for the men who hare to
rule the destinies of this country.
