WESTMINSTER ELECTION.

Mr. Beal has received the following letter :
Rodborosah Mawr, Stroud. April .10.
" Sir,—l bs to acknowledge the receipt of your letter,
and to Nodose a: subeciriMion to Mr. Mill's election fund.
Perhaps I rosy take this opportunity of szpieming the
pleasure which I should feel if you could snowed w seourim
dos election of so distinguished • candidate. It is a choke
which would do men pester hooter to the esestitasscy of
Westminster thee to Mr. Mill himself. Mr. Mill has
already attained the highest distinction to which my rasa
coolsepire—that, namely, of exercising • marked inflame on
European thought. While, however, heel/silos sa your re-
presentative could add little to be own reputation, it mold
hardly fag to raise ham/easily the respect of the public for
the ionatituatiey of Weetadaster. Even those who differ
most widely from the opinions of /Ir. Mill would be coin•
pilled to recognise the Minterested conduct of the electors
in choosing him, and their respect both for the embed
talents sad the coaaskatioci adhereace to priosiple by
which be is so especially The fee that Mr.
Mill has abstained from all soave solicitation of votes, and
that his expenses aredi br subscription, will imams' the
value of the exam that would thus be set to other
electoral bodies. I ere weroosely hope thet,your exec.
hem will end in the rebus of use so pre-smineully worthy
to be your member.—l am, do.,
Mr. BeaIANSE/UST,

In the address forwarded to tha United Stetes minister in

that trputdic in which the great men are not conquerors who
violate the law and tie sovereignty of the people. but the

struggle, moderation in victory, respect for liberty, always
and everywhere, such are the qualities of the sleet of
the American people. What greeters by the side of the
littleness of those elect of God whom ignorant or servile
historians point out as examples to oar old world. To kill
such men is to kill the law itself."
