NOVEMBER 1, 1859:

OUR BOROUGH MEMBERS. •
It
somewhat odd to catch " the leading journal',
tripping in matters of political fact. But, in its leading
article; yesterday, on the Derby Banquet, it does trip
ost decidedly when it
•thesays, that "-the very borough in
.BanquetWhiCh•
took place is represented by two of
of those Liberals whom the assembly, overstepping, as
441, the moderation of their leaders, were- met to
toen(nince." Can the Times really be so ignorant, as not
knew that one, at least, of the members for this
borough is a staunch Conservative ? Surely the writer
:not have been, wide awake at the moment. He
patt have been called upon to write something dis-
4:Plg of the Liverpool Conservatives, on the arrival
the
reporters at some unseasonable hour of the night,
en
t. net only his eyes had to be rubbed, but his wits
be gathered together. Why, there' is not a sounder
t-har racire decided Conservative in the House of Commons
po °l4 excellent member, Mr. T. B. Horsfall. Liver-
in submit to be represented by two Liberals ! No
,
aa deed! It were bad enough to have one,—an evil and
b tre iscredit which the Liberals may depend upon it shall
tatiredressed at the very earliest opportunity. But to
wh does the Times, about " the very borough in
tu„-T' the banquet took place," being represented by
-L'iberals—the very idea of such a thing is revolting.
Political Lord D2rby, we " say boldly, that the
•
eks,.., 0 Pinions of Mr. Ewart are not, those of the
will "ey of Liverpool, and that as South Lancashire
col ot hereafter be satisfied without retaining its two
tatt9. ervative members, so Liverpool ought not to be
a.ssl4ed without obtaining two," and two, we may res
ewilled) She will obtain, at the next General Election,
'ue when it may.

taut, Liberals, not the Conservatives, had no ticket to the
