Then we hive a enabler the quotation, what am web do
with those who, is socoust of educoloo, or want of Ware*
in political mattees, are as yet 'matted far die attendee
of the trembles? That is a difficult question, sad I have
not disguised from you my opinion that it might be

Wear, hear.) Tbst I semesive to bon
far
of a couesevative ss of radical deseriptisu ; for if it woos
nips
to a logical oosolndos tt would lead to strap
meats ; and I should be iodised to warn emenensikee
how they amept it. Let me ask you to fix your attention
for embeds as that is and respected bay,
the Bowe of Lords. If you look at the Rouse
of Lords you will find some, so doubt, who
am able rasa sad admirably for the seats Wry
have in that body, but I am assured you will lad others
who come into their sesta simply by hareditaiy right Ida
are not so fitted. (" Roar," and laughter.) Yoe will lad
moon who have so political amotios worthy el the nem
—who moot be said to have an political essvietiems, be-
came they simply adopt the opiates el the family, ami
cannot be aid either from their talents or from say er
reason to be fit for the exercise of the great privilepe el
sitting la the Roues of Lords. Yet tame ma, whose ramp
of political ideas is oonfieed withia narrow limits are per-
ailed to sit and von in the bap, and obstruct the ails-
kilos of the dandy. (Cheat.) Gentlemen, you will have
been able to gather from the remarks I have now addressed
to you tied I am not ose of those who roma the lasso*
of democratical opinions with partioslar alarm. That them
are dasgas in democrstio govesument, as there are in every
form of goverment devised by man, I am willing to allow.
Nor do -I
say that it will be possible to dispose with ,
every kind of safeguard spinet the errors or enomess
into which a democratic poveranseut may fa ; but
I mama look os the abolitioe of those diedmakas al
the lam of densarosike which hitherto have subsisted W-
I twelve the arias clams of men—l say I cameo' look ape
1 them with displeasure or regret. I believe you will find
that those didactics. which demaaraisy teas to gets
are not real sod ward distinctions, but atlas's'
tions created by easety. You may pt rid of that dis-
tinction which subsists bateau different men solely as
account of birth, bat you menet get rid of those differences
which spring from character, talon
or education. cos
would yourselves perceive it to be a false and unnatural
condition of society which asserted Idleness to be on a level
with industry, folly to be on a level with wisdom, or igno-
rance and incapacity on a level with knowledge and
ability. (Hear, hear.) Now it is my opinion that
distitielleas will act be got rid of by one form of
government, but will still subsist. A Wes distiactioo,
and one which prances aerial rather than benefit, will,
I hops ad believe, gradually diappear and vanish from
among us,but one of those evil didiadioos which I trust Imo
disappearing in the course of tins* is that shish is still
eituirt in than country between the governing chews sad
the classes which are goateed. It is a course absolutely
essential that we should have men set apart for the
work of the executive government, and to conduct the
busie' of the public oases, but when I say I dislike the
distinction hearses the governing clue sad the class to la
governed—l mean that Ido ea believe in that date of
society which gives some OHO facilities for entering epos a
political career and makes it more difecult for dims to
walk in the same line, although perhaps the ability al those
who are panda may be pater than that of many
who ere eerily admitted. It is desirable that there should
ofsome facilitiee for all to exercise their talents. The idsel
a representative government requires that every elms of
the community should be equally intended, and • equally
concerned in the maintenance of order, in the proservation
of freedom, ad in the adoption of such laws as may be amt
conducive to the welfare of the community at lama. Pr.
lament to be a repreentative institution should always
tend to such an ideal as I have described. And
this is an ideal towards which you especially may
combine with us in bringing this country parer sad
NAM, for although it may be possible to prove by theo-
retical arguments that the working claws of this country
should be admitted to the exercise of the suffrage, it is
Nab!, for you, you who belong to that class, you which
have hitherto been unropreeesta, to add an argunisat
more cowhides still—the argumeat of your own wand
(Chan.) It is for you especially to refute the error
that you are unfit for the exerose of that implant
and responsible duty. It is for you to prove, both that
you are earnestly and truly dames to be admitted to that
trust, and that you saW if admitted, edema it wisely
and well, and with a due and serious sense of the responsi-
bility it brings. It is for you, in furtherance of those ob-
jects, to combine tangy with pada" neolutioa with
disoretion, and a are and uoswervlog adherence to Jour
demands with *nary and charity to thole who still re-
gard them with =spades and dislike. (Loud cheers.)
Thus, although you may eddy leave it to the eloquesoe
aid talents of others to urge your claims upon the Renee of
Comma and tics country, it is for you to add the final sad
crowning proof of the juatise of your cause. (Repaid
