by personal or party conelderetions, I have supported gas ;
mond reading of toe Reform Bill introduced by the present ;
administration from a desire to effect, without further delay,
• settlement of tilt' questicet, the oont limed agitation of
which Is so prejudicial to the best interest, of the state, and
in the belid that all necessary amendments might have been
made In committee. A majority of the House of Commons has,
however, preferred the Weftite postponement of reform by
rot ing in tavour resohttion designed indirectly to defeat the
seam% which a direct negative would have failed to do,

core miserly reserved for dlectimion sad consideration In a
enksegiant map of the bill. Stich a coarse appearing to
see M be alike monovalent end objectionable,— I did sot
WNW* in my place in parliament frankly to express ay
minks span it. What will be the issue of the int
struggle It la now impossible to foretell, but of tbrrt
011setred--thst ft Is the duty of all who love their country,
and who value liberty, the security of property, and the
perinmenee of our inetitutiona, to join in retie, mg demo-
cratic changes in the constitution, and to endeavour to
offset the speedy atittlemest of this question of reform ow a
