LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2G.

ME. NEWDEGATE is experiencing the common
fate of members of the House of Comm ma who
take pains to ascertain their duty by the exercise of
their own faculties. His independence has become
inconvenient to the leaders of his party, his preten-
sions to judge for himself are found intolerable,
and accordiLgly an attempt is made to damage him
in the estimation of his constituents. The com-
plaint is not that he has failed to serve North
Warwickshire faithfully and well, but that he has
not served L'ird DERBY and Mr. DISRAELI better.
On nine questions out of ten he has voted as other
gentleman of decided Conservative opinions have
done. But this is not enough : it is required of
him to think with a party mind, speak with a party
voice, and on divisions give a party vote, and to
do so always and without faiL Even neutra-
lity in difficult cues is not permitted, for it
is noted as one of his offences that he left the
House without giving his vote before the division
on Mr. EI:IA:LAKER celebrated amendment. It ap-
pears that in North Warwickshire a large portion of
Conservative voters have their thinking done for
them by others, and it is natural that they should
resent a greater degree of independence in their
member. None of them tell Mr. NEWDEOATE that
his views on the subjects of his votes are wrong ;
his fault is, that some one or two of those votes
have not had a tendency to bring Lord DERBY
nearer to office. He withheld his aid when the
great party fight on the Danish question came off
last summer, and by opposing the Prison Ministers
Bill he coat a reflection on the Protestantism of the
Tory leaders.

Mr. NEWDEGATes short and aimple reply to
these charges is, that in respect of his political
convictions he is the same man now as when North
Warwickshire sent him to Parliament seventeen
years ago. If his relation to his party chiefs has
been mollified, it is not because he has changed, but
because they have departed more or leas from their
former professions. He knows the value of party
organization and party discipline ; he has even been
a whipper-in; but he thinks that parties exist for the
sake of principles, and not principles for the sake
of parties, an opinion which Colonel TAYLOR
must consider perverse and unpractical. " No-
" body," says Mr. NEWDZGATE, " worked harder
"than. I did so long as I was confident of one
" thing—that there was • strict union between
" the principles which we had advanced to the
" country and the action of the party for which
" I laboured as the representative of those
"opinions." The hon. gentleman, it is well
known, has been driven below the gangway of the
House of Commons, where he sits as an indepen-
dent member. There are some things that the
Tory leaders permit themselves to do which he
cannot stomach. He declares himself ready to
support Lord DERBY for any constitutional pur-
pose and in any constitutional mode of action, but
he will not throw away the consistency of a life,
or belie the principles which first recommended him
to his constituents. If North Warwickshire has
cast off its old convictions--and he is not insensible
to the changed circumstances of the times—then
he is ready to obey as the proper time an intima-
tion to that effect. But be rather hopes that his
old supporters will have the courage to stand by
their faithful member even if he aeemsto be isolated,
and abide by the principles which they long since
appointed him to advocate.
It is a recent practice of the Opposition leaders
—that of coquetting and trafficking with the
Ultramontane Irish Catholics for a factious
purpose that has mainly caused the breach
between Mr. NEWDEOATZ and the leaders
of his party. He is not the only good Par-
liamentary Conservative who has been disgusted
and driven away fro-n an important division by
that policy. It is probable that for every Irish
member gained to Lord DRRRY'S party in this
way a sound Conservative is led to aasert his in-

tural an alliance. Certainly, we shw tiffs eff4
produced on more than one attend .11eitFion
session. Whatever truth there mayliaie been
in the stories of a special and express delegation
from Rome, charged to direct the voting of Ca-
tholie members, it is certain that at the last great
park, division in the House of Commons a number
of those members were prepared to vote without
the least reference to the merits of the cue before
them, and solely with a view to the interests of the
Papacy, which it was supposed would be served
by the overthrow of • Liberal Government that
had stood by the cause of an independent and
united Italy. Mr. NEWDZOATE observes that the
leading organ of the Papal party in England is re-
commending Catholics to hold themselves free from
party connexions, and vote not as British inte-
rests may demand but as those of the POPE may
require ; and he thinks that, in order to prevent
them holding the balance of power, by taking ad-
vantage of the situation now of one party and now
of the other, it is necessary that • few Protestant
members should keep themselves free to act as he
has done, so as to counteract their efforts. The hon.
gentleman's course of action stands for the judg-
ment of the Conservatives of North Warwickshire,
and it can make little difference to those who must
necessarily regard him as an honourable opponent
whether it is one of approval or rejection. But
from this disinterested standing point we may ob-
serve that it would be strange if Mr. NEWDII,
GATE'S former supporters should determine to
withdraw their confidence from him on account of
his too great fidelity to a cause with which the
Conservative party has always been proud to iden-
tify itself. It must be for the advantage of Con-
servatism at large, without regard to the accident,
and anxieties of party warfare, which are only
temporary, to be able to bout of one and another
member of Parliament whose constancy to its
leading principles is ennobled and rendered more
conspicuous by personal integrity and independence,
even if those qualities should now and then be
displayed at the cost of a vote on a party division.
