Thomas—who is now an octogenarian, was • friend el 11
elder Wilberforce, and is one of the most wealthy sad'
tunable of English gentlemen—is the last of genersdoo
a tory family. Forty years ago he was the leader at
tl
conservative party in Devon, and uniformly detest
the liberals who fought great political contests Ind
the Fortescue family. Although greatly liked for
1
private virtues, Sir Thomas had at one time to be guardrs
by constables from the populace through the 'gu
ard
the city of Exeter, for his advocacy of the eon la
during an election. An ancestor of Sir Thomas Aids
assisted Charles the Second in his escape from Deg

Tnz Blvd' NOlR.—There is a homely old art
that too much of a good thin; is good for no
'a
much worse, then, is too much of a had thing, such
perpetual harping on Mr. Bright. The fly in the r)1
ointment is always Mr. Bright. In former times, la'
very long ago, onmes were ascribed in indictureau
instigation of the devil ; and now-a-days Mr.
railed or sneered at as the instigator of all
proceed in reform step by step is wrong, c.",
he thought it right ; and it is ruled absolutely'
he must be marshalling the way to row'
because he has spoken well of American institutions
government is unworthy of confidence because Mr. Br
has faith in it. In short. the rule of right would'
be simply opposition to Mr. Bright, though Bacon tel]
that to judge oy the rule of contraries is to make snarl
folly the master of one's own wisdom. We have often
occasion to differ from Mr. Bright, but what we Po
against is making him bete noir for perpetual &Mad
sickly sneer or spiteful invectives. It is stale, fiat, an
profitable, and it is becoming what the Housl e
Rend
of f
mons moat hates, • bore, by force of damns
What the monotonous ' Perfect Cure' is in the haun
the vulgar, resort to the topic of Mr. Bright id la Pi
meat. It stops every gap in argument, and is a roe
never failing for the empty and dull. "In default of
case, abuse the plaintifFs attorney," might be ce u
!
inatructions for an occasion ; but here we have the
sant abuse of the plaintiff's attorney, which is Wale!
wearisome in default of a case. Ind if it taxed W 4
to hear Aristides called the just, how much move Is
portable it is to hear Mr. Bright so perpetual °blurt'
ap
What if he deserves it' some one may ask, and we
then do not give him his deserts if the soiled of the
be far more sickening to the bearer than the stroke
painful to him. At all events let there be a truce, an
some apace of time let it be understood that sneers,
and tirades at Mr. Bright are to to be interdicted likr
tarn hackneyed quotations, threadbare allusions, and
out jests— miner.
