LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MARLS 19.

Tna Derbyite candidate has been returned for New
Ross. It is the fortune of war to meet with occa-
sional checks and 'oversee; but it is particularly
annoying to owe them to those who are as much
damaged by them •s ourselves. We ban to thank
the Government for this addition to the Derbyits
ranks in the House of Commons. Sir THOMAS
Rem :soros may have many qualifications for a seat
in the House of Commons, but he was eminently un-
suited for the constituency of New Ross, being per-
sonally distasteful to a large proportion of the
voters. Two other Liberal candidates were
put in nomination. One may be co•sidered
as the representative of the principles of the late
member, Mr. DUFFY ; the other was a Roman
Catholic gentleman, of decidedly liberal priselpies,
bat entirely independent, and anxious to promote
the reconcilement and co-operation of all real
Liberals. If a candidate of the politics of Mr. Dum
was too much for Lord Patmasrox, his lordship
had the option of one who might have bridged over
the differences between Mr. Du=n's class of politi-
cians and the moderate Liberals. But Lord PAL-
WILOSTON would hear of no concession ; the
Liberal party must take his man or • Derby-
ite; aid accordingly a Derbyite has bees
forced upon them. The same unwise game has
been played at Sligo. Any man acquainted
with the state of opinion is that borough—any one
acquainted with recent parliamentary history—could
have told that for a candidate like Mr. P. Somme
success was out of the question. Bat there, too, Lord
P•t.mmsrox would force his friend on the electors;
and there, too, the consequence hes been that, rather
than base an ineligible candidate forced down their
throat, even Liberals have voted for the Derbyite
candidate, as the lesser evil of the two; and the
Derbyite candidate hes been returned. By his unbend-
ing and unconciliatory policy, Lord PALMILINTON has
contrived to lose four voles in the coarse of two elec-
tions; and, what is worse, the aggregate Liberal party
has lost as well as he. In the position occupied
by Lord P•xxxfuror, there is no object for which
he ought to strive more earnestly than the unity of
the Liberal party. In a popular government per-
sonal combinations must always count for something;
bat in England no mere personal combinations can
command a sue working majority in the House of
Commons, unless they are identified with one or
other of the two great motion Sato which public
opinion is divided. The personal combination of
which Lord PAt.Mxurox is the ostensible head ap-
peals for support to the Liberal section of public
opinion. That section embraces individuals of all
shade, of liberality ; sod it is the duty of
the chief of the personal combination which
aspire* to be the nucleus of a great Liberal party to
endeavour, by every means In his power not tacos-
sistect with sincerity and adherence to principle, to
conciliate and keep together its partially !meanie-
log elements. To this end It is his duly to consult
the predilections and wishes of Liberal conatita-
',cies in the choice of their representatives ;
to rest satisfied if men of intelligence sad is-
tegrity, hee from crotchets and waywardness, are re-
turned to the House of Commons. He has no right
to expect that free Britons will consent to be men
puppet electors, dutifully returning the nominee
of their Palma& If he expects Liberal
electors ocessionally to allow the coesidee-
Min to have weight with them, that of
two candidates, whom alai= an otherwise
equally balanced, the one, if saythisg, is more
friendly to the existing Government, be mast in his
tern be prepared to make similar ecoosesioes to the
personal or local leanings of constituencies. In no
aliases of independent men can concession be all
on one aide. By forgetting oe neglecting this
maxim, Lewd PALKIIITON is diminishing the am-
ber of his own eapporters is the Home of Com-
mous, and at the Name time endangering the
harmony sad weakening the paws, of the great
Liberal party. He is doing this at a moment whim
symptom' premed themselves en every side of the
approximation and mentos of the two sections
of the Conservative party which have main-
tained antagonistic positions ever slam Sir
BOSOM' PEEL'S conversion to the dootriams of free
trade. He is doing this at a time whoa asinasre and

growing desire for reammilement and remake per-
vades all eeedosa of the Liberal party. We have
frankly avowed oar adhesion to this amoiliatery
policy I we are determined to penman la it—let
individual statesmen cc perils@ stead or U—boat=
we believe that only by union among Liberals aaa
the mune of freedom and program be esenred at
present from hamisent dawn Bat all alerts to
meets the Liberal party suet fail if leaden of
important madam persist la displaying seek a Mo-
nitorial tampsr—eore indoidal silt-will—es that of
which the boners! results have forged from as them
remarks.
