Mr. Gladiola's is rejected from Oxford, and that such •
rejection, although it may well be • disappointment to
every liberal in the United Kingdom, may yet be to South ,
Lancashire the opportunity for a great triumph and •
peat deliverance. With such an opportunity in view,
with • fair prospect of electing such a man as Mr.
Gladstone, every liberal in the constituency ought to re.
fresh his hopes and redouble his effort'. Mr. Heywood
and Mr. Thompson have been throughout sensible of
the difficulty of doing justice to the liberal cause in South
Lancashire hi a three weeks' canvass. None but men of
groat eminence and of commanding reputation could wisely
aspire, in so short • time, to work the magic change, and

overcame the effects of a long submission to tory represeo-

took, more for the satisfaction of the iroostituency than
for themselves, to attempt this formidable task. Oomplete
