Tie M et GRANBY, LP., said he felt ware
that it would be quite eansesseasy for him to mere the
waft al re great 'roarer= which it would give his
father to proems their petition to the Home of Lords, and
it wield, be rid reere then, be as pleasing a duty ter him

has eland *Masse who attended those meetings which,
he wee happy to my were extending throughout the length
and beselth of the land—were doing an injury to the inn
by OW etatemente Whisk they were snaking. He asked then
writer they were &kg aa injury to their cause by endsr
nuke to anise at the truth, sad looking their difficulties ,
Is the has • he theseM they were sot only taking the meet ,
straightforward ass resat curse, but at the same tints
the most polies en. (Rear, hear.) The question
they had to emakke was, whether the land of England
could be cultivated while wheat was at 40s. per qr. That
quotas had bees pretty well answered then that day, as
some of the speakers had said that if they had the land
fee socking, they could sot cultivate it at present prices.
(Roar, hear.) Bat the newspaper which was the organ of
the government has rid, " If the twat farmers cannot cul-
tivate the land at the present pries, they must go about their
boeires" That might do eery well hr the Times, but it
would not suit the leaded Interest or ths tenant (snare.
(" Rear " sad Risers.) It bad bees said all that was re-
quired was a reduttioe of rent. By lowering the rent the
power of the landlord to ley out money to improve ths soil
was decreased to the extent of the reductions. Again, it
was said that they would be able to most their difficulties, if
they would farm highs:. Thom who were practically se-
quieted with sericulture knew that those who had farmed
the highest were now sufkring the resale diaries. (Hoar.)
Bat suppers it was as advantageous as it had been
mid to be, it was sot nay for the farmer to
farm high ; capital wee required, and could a fanner And
capital kr low pekes sad diminished Monte t (Heat.) He
hoped he should be able to eonvinc• the free trade advocates
that the only snmuns to high farming was to get high prices.
Rs hoped the free trader would learn a Meson from the
ph which he was then going to reed ; they were the
trao274 the greatest political economist that ever existed :
the sun whom Sir R. Peel called the Sir Isaac Newton of
political soonoiakts—Adam Smith. (Laughter.) Hs said
• Of all the considerable allnateges which Scotland derived
from the anion with England, the rise in the price of tattle is
perhaps the grostest—(now mark that—the rise, nothing
about lowering.) It has sot only raised the prices in the
Highlands, but has improved the whole country." After
some further resaerks against the free-trade policy, the
noble Marquis coachoded his speech by saying that he con-
sidered that every brush of industry an this country ought
to be protected. (Cann)
Several other parson addromed the meeting, and the pro-
median then with the customary compliment to the &sk-
ates.
