I have now to state the natural result, not in my own
words, but in those of my Lord Stanley, who, at the
meeting of the National Reformatory Union held recently
at Bristol,remarked that about one-tenth of the whole
population of the United Kingdom consisted of youths
between the ages of 15 and 20 (horn into the world
since the establishment of the Church of England schools
in this town), and that one-fourth of the whole detected
crime in this country was committed by youths between
the ages of 15 and 29 ; and that in the year 1853, 11.513

after all'is only the clearinc, away of obstructions. (Ap•
planse.) I have, now, gentlemen,b only to thank'you for
he very kind and patient attention you have given to this
somewhat imperfect expression 'of my sentiments on those
s ibjects I thought moat likely to interest you, and
before I sit down I will do what I have been asked
to do—sbow my political colours. lam not one of those
who think that politics have little or nothing to do with the
Tdwn Council. I think that politics are so interwoven
a d mired up with our social, civil, and municipal institu-
ions, that we cannot altogether ignore them. What are
If we refer to any modern dictionary, the
words " statist," " politician," "statesman," are synony.
maul, and the word "statistics" is explained as a system of
municipal philosophy, by which the strength, resources, and
means of a nation are arrived at. I can quite understand
that a man may be a strong political partisan, and yet, if he
be a man or correct mind and straightforward principles, he
may faithfully and efficiently discharge the duties of the muni-
cipal office. Still, I think it better for all parties that the
political bias of a representative should be in unison with
that of those whom he represents ; and in order that there
may be rfo mistake as to my political bias, I will now
unfurl my colours. They will not be "red," they will not
ba " blue," and I am very sure they will not be " orange."
Some or.e has slily hinted that a "tea colour" would be
appropriate ; others, a " quiet drab." One kind and highly
prized friend has suggested 'a "neutral tint;" but, gentle-
men, I can adopt none of these. The banner I raise to-night
is of a pure '• white," fitting emblem of the purity of my
motives in accepting the trust you are pie- sed to offer me
but it will not, cannot be mistaken, for the standard a fear
or for the flag of true or compromise, for on it will be
emblazoned one word—a thrilling, mighty word, pregnant
with meaning, and indicative of social, civil, commercial,
nd religious advancement : that word will be " Peogress."
