The factory !viten= Is pawing over, es I have before

position to persevere is • very vigorous attempt
to prolong the discussion of the question in public. In the
aitaattme the leaders are nearly all te London, closeted by
turns with my Lord Ashley, Lord John Manners, and °them
of the protectionist party, on whom their chief hope GI
success appears to rest, although Mr. Fox, Mr. Brothertya,
and some other liberal members of the House of Commons
advocate their muse.
