MR. DOULTON, M.P.. AND THE ELECTORS OP
LA BETH.

Mr. Doulton, the junior M.P. for Lambeth,
met his constituents last evening, at the Horns Tavern,
Kennington, on his own invitation, to address them as to
the present state of public affairs, and his conduct and
votes in parliament since his election.
Mr. R. ELLINGTON was Galled to the chair, and having
briefly introduced the business of the meeting,
Mr. Doti:rots, M.P., who was warmly welcomed by a
very crowded room, in the mine of his address ob-
served—He thought the time had arrived when the
question should be seriously considered by the English
government sod the English people whether Italy was to
remain permanently a French province. (Hear, hese) The
American civil war was deeply to be deplored, and be re-
gretted that no break yet appeared in the dark cloud that
overshadowed the American continent. It was strange,
however, that in this land of liberty, which had made such
sacrifices to abolish slavery, sympathy should be anywhere
expressed in favour of the Southern confederacy—the con-
federacy of slaveowners. (Cheers, and some disapproba-
I tioa.) He believed the first reason was the insults that the
North had heaped upon this country ; and the second bad
something to do with material interests. Slavery had
more to do with the civil war than many people
imagined. But while the South openly avowed that the black
man was an inferior being, and must be kept in bondage,
unfortunately the North was totsound upon the question.
Would to God they were, and bad placed their cause on
principle rather than expediency. (Cheers.) Of this,
however, there could be no question, 'bet if the South suc-
ceeded slavery would be strengthened and perpetuated.
(Hear, hear.) Ile deprecated soy interference on the part
of this country in the fratricidal quarrel, remarking
that interference meant intervention, and intervention
war. He made a feeling allusion to the distress
in the cotton districts consequent upon that war, and spoke
of the unexampled patience with which the Lancashire men
had borne their distresses. As to the future he never pro-
phesied. He hoped to see a considerable reduction in the
national expenditure, and a consequent reduction o: taxa-
tion. He knew not whether we were to have a Reform Bill
—but be thought the Lancashire operatives had proved in
their present conduct that the working times might be
safely trusted with the franchise. He did not know
whether the next was to be a sensation parlia-
ment, or that any attempt would be made to up-
set the present government. Looking at the present
state of foreign politics. be considered it would be a great
misfortune if Lord Palmerston were removed from office. It
was true they had heard from Mr. Disraeli two or three
speeches which would have done credit to the president of
the Financial Reform Association ' • but when his sincerity
came to be tested by Mr. Stanefeld's motion, the right
bon, gentleman rode off upon a quibble. In conclusion he
declared that be would continue to act independently in
parliament while they continued to him their confidence.
In reply to Mr. HAYMAN, the hon. member expressed his
readiness to vote for the abolition of the tax on all incomes
under 1501. a year.
Some other comparatively unimportant questions in re-
ference to weights and measures, metropolitan tolls, and
the licensing system, having been asked and answered,
Alderman W. LAWIIMCE moved a resolution of approval
of the hoe. member's conduct and explanation, and of con.
tinned confidseee in him, which wee seconded by Mr. E.
Onorza, sad carried by acclamation.
Atr. Doucrou acknowledged his thanks, and moved the
lung compliment to the chairman, which concluded the
preaselinp.
