Tnz HoN. C. I'. VILLIERS, M.P. for Wolver-
hampton, gave notice, on the advent of a protectionist
ministry to office, that he would place on the paper of the
House of Commons, on en early day, a copy of a resolution
pledging the representatives of the people to a continued
support of the free importation of food. This resolution
yid be adhered to, in fleapit.. of the remonstrances suit the
misgivings of some over-caution-, timid people who do not
likc it, and whose statement about its probable abandon-
ment has no other foundation than their own anxiety that
it should be so. " Thu wish is father to the thought."
Mr. Villiers is one of the last men living to be driven
easily from a purpose in which he conceives bit public
duty to be involved. His motion may be troublesome. Mr.
Villiers originated sorn: troublesome annual motions be-
fore now ; but he never was discrted from his purpose
until his efforts were crowned with complete sums.. The
food of the people is again threatened with taxation, and
Mr. Villiers is naturally the first to come to the rez-eue, in
the new parliamentary struggle, with which the country Is
threatened. It may possibly be that certain dilettangi free
traders, who sit for doubtful county or university seats,
may not like the inconvenience to which they may be
subjected—but surely the principles of free trade and cheap
provisions for the poor are not to be put in competition with
the courtesies or the Coll•Citil'ACC of half-a-dosen honournble
gentlemen. No, no. The crisis is too important for such
fastidiousness. The House of Commons will be newly and
solemnly pledged to the policy, which has scattered peace
and plenty through the 1 sad. To such a pledge no honest
free trader can refuse his assent. Even if unsupported by
false, professing friends, it will test all men ; and in spite
of trimming desertions, should such appear, it will be car-
ries! by an overwhelming majority.—Observer.
