ekeiee, which km not yet terminated, and I •onld lay •

woolcm;that subject, u be ham retorted to it, bemuse, so

. .
far as I can form an opinion from what I road in the public
journals, it is one en which soma considerable misrepreeen-
laden exists. I cannot sae myself that the result of the

iweeestelsotion, so far sa it has yet gr nis, is one which should
seam say diraientioa of °addends in the great coaservative
party in this coon'ry, and U we calmly consider the matter
thick I shall be able to offer tenons foe that °pinker. I
will net cavil about number., I will not ester intoosptions
criticism as to whether some noksowe iodiridnal, returned

parliareeet fee the Ant sad probably for tbo last tine,
liberal or • eaeservative. I will take • large sad

rieersl view of the subject ; I will secept the returni and
the =wants of our opponents. Accepting the

robins of our opponents, and taking our own
ultimate of the 100 mats not yet decided,
bat the result of which, generally speaking, is pretty well
known, I hare so hesitation is saying that the oomervaties
party in the new parliament when it meets will sot be in-
ferior in numbers tothe nimbus that supported Lord Darby
sitar the general election of 1859. (Cheers,' And, gentle-
we, that alone would be DO inconsidei able result, sad if we
examine the =Mist with a little calmness you will see that

there is a very good foundation for the opinion which I have
given. f think that in the last parliament there
were 310 vette:see who acknowledged themselves, at
beat formally, as members of the conservative party.
Well, that is very true ; and some may have su►posed that
if the general election had gone in favour of the coo.
euvative party, they might have biome so numerically
st!eog that a change of government would have instantly
occurred. Now, if we had obtained some moderate acces-
sion to our numbers, as greet as was possible under ordi-
nary circumstances, it is not likely that weahould have had
as absolute majority. I for one should be very sorry to see
the ooaservative party 'llia forced into power without
being in possession of an absolute and decided majority.
BoR gestlemen, there is a very great difference between
numbers on paper and numbers in practice. It is
very true that in the last parliament nominally there were
perhaps 310 members who acknowledged themselves mem-
bers of the conservative party, but whenever any question
arose which celled into doubt the existence of t►e govern-

meet, whenever the cooservative leaden merle an appeal to

their follower, to ask the opinion of parliament on some
important question of policy, there were perhaps 15 out of
the 310 who invariably voted against their friends and sop•
ported the goverment. Therefore, although on paper we
had this large form of 310 members, we redly had not,
whets we came to practice, more probably than 295.

But it is a very remarkable th;ng at the promat
loveliest that almost all them gentlemen who while cord-

sally eoaservatives, while sitting on the conservative
Usable of the House of Commons, yet whenever there wee

any important issue voted for the government, have lest
their rear. Now we are told, and I tribe the figure' of the

governmeat, that ministers hive pined shady Mates
members, mid that they will gals more. They may or they
may sot. It is possible that they may gain a few more
members. Let us admit, for argument sake, that they
. .

gale twenty members io thew elections. Well, at they gain
twenty you will God really that the slate of parties is much
the. same when parliament has met, end whet

thialionao of Commons has kilos into shape, to what it wan

when parliament was dissolved. In the first place it takes
some time before parliament gets let* shape. There are
such things se petitions. Thee must all be decided oe. In
the lest parliament the connervative party gained ten seats
merely by petitions. As far aa I cam fern a judgment
from what has t ,ken plan•, it is not likely that the petitions
will be it "lament'. in the present parliament than in the
last ; and, so far as I have obsaived from my experience in
public life, the majority of petitions will always be decided
against the liberal party ; and naturally so, bemuse the
exiservative party en rally—not sliraym—depseda oe local
iefteences, while the Ile& party, from the time of Wal-
pole, has depended on influences of another kind which are
sot acknowledged to be constitutional. The cooeegoenoe is
that you will probably have a conederable accession to
your numbers by this time next year, when the Rouse of
Commons has fallen into ite natural and legitimate
_ .

oh ape. I believe that it will be foaed that the
position of pasties is almost identical, so far as numbers
are emmeraed, with what it was Ia the last paella.
meet In the last parliament we met, I think, with
a from of some 295 members. We gained about ten m•m-
bese by petitioes, and about ten by the iodated molests
during the six years of the existence of parliament. That
is the way in which the numbers of the conservative party
at the termination of its career were formed. Well, retie-
atm, the practical result will be, that when the House of
Commies has met, and has fells* into its true shape, the
political position, to my mind, will be identical, so far as
the balance of parties is coacermid, with what it was about
two mouths ago, before parliament was dissolved. Well,
I My, without the slightest hesitation, c ,nsiderieg that
the liberal party hsvi been for many yeses is one form or
another in a position of authority, masidering that the
present government has itself had the &demise of all t►e
patronage of the country for the last six years ; conaid rag
that the administration (I have never denied it) bas been an
able:mid stioomfal administration, it is wonderful a paella.
meat being &evolved by gush a 'overarms*, it is a remelt un-
precedented in the parliamentary history of thiscouetry, that
under such circumettincee a conservative and coustitetiocal
opposition should be returned amounting to timely 300
members. Gentlemen, the very case of the government
proves that there must be some strong reason for thin.
Grant for a moment that they are the ablest ministers;
that their finance is triumphant ; that foreign affairs have
been carried on with ammo sod ability ; that the country
appreciates their efforts; that they are in possession of
power and patronage, arid likely to remain so—for that is
their ease ,—how is it that so great a party is Murata in
opposition to their members! That is the question
of the day. Because the wintry, though not
&axiom, perhaps, to distort, the present government,
although torridly willing to ascribe to the merit of the
government "Mat, perhaps, might be ascribed to other
cans a, although willing to give the government credit fur
eonductieg affairs on the whole in a satisfactory manner,
the country yet feels that there is danger ahead—danger
from which it is the interest of the administratioo todisert
public attention, bat which the English instioot recognises
anti feels. The Enlists people know that there are princi-
ples afloat, advocated by peruses of talent and authority,
hostile to the institutions of the country, though not openly
avowed by the ministry. The people of this
country, by their martial; instinct, know that the
advocates of these opinions, which are hostile, though
not avowedly hostile, to the exiatiog iastitutioos, are the
allies of the very government which, while not openly maw
tioning. recognises and sympathises with them in theme
principles and °plait as. That is the danger ahead whisk
Iffoglishmite understand, and although they give credit to
the government for a policy which is ',repotted by fia•
harvests and {rent commercial eeterprise—although they
lave no wish to disturb the present government, they will
at the same time take the Met security that the institutions
of this country shall not be indangered by those who de-
clare their intention to remodel them, and them,
too, persons on whose patronage and support the
present government depends. It is the nowisest thisg
men eon do to undervalue their opponents. Thesupporters
of the present administration tell us—" It is absurd to say
the institutions of the country are in danger. Who is
attacking the church? Who is threatening us with demo.
efatic innovation' Do not for a moment allow /WI gloomy
ideas to prevail in your mind, but remember that oar taxa.
