LONDON, SATURDAY APRIL 9.

Loan PAL/lIIISTOWS kindly attempt to initiate
thealitelless of Mertes in the intricacies of House
of CUOMO IMAM mast be regarded as highly
anesertfal, and the canoes and character of the late
meesseable Reform contest are mode for ever plain
to the meanest capacity. The noble author is, more-
over, u fair as he is lucid, and seen Sir Joss
Panntorott would find it difficult to discover any-
thing to object to in the manner in whisk the quer
time lately in issue are stated for decision.
And now, since nothing is wanting to the history
of the recent Parliamentary struggle, would it not
be as well if our eminent politicians would address
themselves to the questions of the future, with their
attendant duties and difficulties The country has
now been precisely instructed by the leaders of both

Ades of the Rouse in the circumstances under
which Lord DERBY took office, the oonstitutional

duty of an Administration avowedly in a minority,
and the steps by which both Parliament and the
Government arrived at an impasse. The luminous
dissertation of Lord PALMERSTON, end the passionate
protests of Mr. Dishaatt, will be precious in the
sight of future writers on the theory of Parliamentary
government; but these are matters rather for the
leisure of the closet than the butte of an electoral
oriels. The portion of Lord PALMERSTON'S address
whisk contemplates the future consists of the one
pereireph in which he states the issue to be decided
by the constituencies: ..The question, therefore

m-sotenitied to the jadgmset of the electors of the
J. Baited Kingdom is, whether the Bill proposed by
"the Government wee good or bad; and whether
• the Government were right in proposieg snob a
Bill, or whether the majority of the House of Gam-
mons were right in disapproving it." And is this
all? Are a million of electors to be wooed and
driven from their homes to the poll-booth to decide
is the merits cf a maws which its very authors
Yes abandoned, sad which they loudly dis-
avow? We trove set. No each barren ques-
tion will engage the active mind of Rog;
land at the impending elections. " The Bill'
is dead and buried. Its authors will never disinter
it, and it is not for Liberals to evoke its apparition
to divert men's eyes from the real work and bug-
gies of the day. Many members of the present
House of Commons, proceeding to the hustings,
claim credit for baying opposed the Government
Bill. But a men need not hare been a Reformer to
do that. Let the electors ask honourable gentlemen
what they are for, as well as what they are against ;
what extension of the suffrage, for example, they
are prepared to vote for, when a tangible proposi-
tion is made in Parliament.

Defined alms and fixed objects do not demand the
application of any Procrustean rule in the organisation
ef parties. Reformers differ ea to questions of degree
when they come to apply their own principles. Lord
JOHN Russitt.t, having a view to what is presently
practicable, and desiring to close an irritating ques-
tion, would accept a tenancy of 81 yearly value as a
qualification for the borough franchise, supplying its
deficiencies by a number of supplementary qualifica-
tions. Mr. SNORT, in the letter which we publish
la Darks& velars , goes further in reducing the qua-
IlleatiOn lee the fame franchise. He would give a
eats to all persons rated at not less than 31., or
oseemying to the value of not less than 41. per annum,
whether the rates are paid by the tenant or by the
landlord, and even below that point he would allow
sow wean being a rated occupier to secure his vote
by undertaking to pay and by plying his own rates.
He would, farther, give the franchise to occupiers
et apartments; that is, to lodgers, paying a rent of
not lon than 10/. per annum, subject to the same
period of residence as in the case of rated occu-
piers, and whether the rent be paid half-yearly or
any shorter period.
The difference between these propositions is not
based on any antagonism of prieciples, and therefore
the friends of both of them can act honourably and
efficiently together. But between Reformers and those
who are not of their number the line must be drawn
somewhere ; and is it possible to reckon among Re-
formers those who consider that the measure of which
Lord Joan RIDISLLL gave an outline on Monday even-
ing goes too far fee the needs and deserts of the
people ? The main part of that scheme relates to the
lowering of the borough franchise; and shall we be
told that a measure which, in 1864, received the
approval and even the official sanction of Lord
Asn-
DEE., Mr. GLADSTONE, Mr. SIDNEY 111.1 BRET, and
other Statesmen of equally Cosec wader temper, is
too revolutionary for 1869 ? We repeat, that we are
not for ostracism and proscription; but in the name
of consistency and common sense we ask the Liberal
electors of the United Kingdom to colander well to
what position in the ranks of Liberals those are en-
titled who would thus go back in the destined path
of popular progress.
The divisions of the Liberal party rest, no doubt,
be reckoned among those evils which, according to
Mr. DISRAELI, it is for the country to comprehend
end remedy. Those divisions, however, will
not be diminished, they will be aggravated
and rendered more mischievous by a laxity
of requirement and an indifference to polili-
sal principles on the part of electors. At
a tree when we are assured party government has
prod away for ever, the great Liberal:majority of
the House of Correa, is distracted and weakened
by the operation of personal antipathies and per-
sonal pre/access. It is in the power of the eseeti-
tnencies either to increase or in a very censiderable
aware to abate this evil. Inconvenient as is this
&relation, it is a constitutional appeal to the
°pastry on that subject whisk, hakes all ether,
stoppling a criterion of the political soundness of
emulates, and a basis for the onion ef the whale
Liberal party. If the constitionseles will chains
use to represent them in Parliament for their da-
mn Amino for Reform, their known attachment to
Metal peindpioa of government, and their and-
