seen the constitution • he didn't understand it. (Cheers).
It was a thing not toned in • day, and was no doubt full of
anomaly ; but what two things in the universe were there
exactly alike. What two men were alike ? And so it as
with the constitution, it contained inequalities; but worked
notwithstanding for the good of the great mare of the com-
munity. (Cheers.) The oonatitution of this country bad
gradually adapted itself to the characteristics of the people,
and it wse the move to be cherished from the fact that it was

could. (Hear.) Thus much, however, be did know, end
would say to his Birmingham friends there—be bad done
much this cession towards preserving the rights of the small
freeholders. The hon. disowned at some said)
greater Bright's theory ofgentleman reform. Under his plan (he said)
greater inequalities would be created that at present
existed ; whilst some of the agritioltund constita.
molts were to be swamped ; in Set, instead
of correcting, Mr. Bright would aggravate whatever enema-
ties now existed In our museentative system. The bon. gen-
