been brought forward on the strength of old times, and
times memorable, but these are too remote to bring forward
two novices, who have no experience whatever in
in parliamentary business. But; apart from the question of
commercial interest and immediate reform, and progress at
home, there is another issue that Lord Derby and his
party have now put before you. (Cheers and hisses.) That
issue is, that they are the only parties competent to rule the
destinies of England. (Nonsense, and cries of " Yes, yes.")
Now, what have we of. the experience we have had of
Lord Derby and his party. (Interruption, during which the
name of Lord Malmeshury was heard.) I doubt that the
sentiment expressed by Lord Derby the last night in the
House of Lords will be the sentiment that will rule during
the neutrality of this country. Ile has given us another
version of it, but that is a second edition of what he said,
and au amendment on his speech. (Cheers) We cannot
tell what eventualities may arise; hut we see despots banding
together, and we know that Louis Napoleon and the emperor of
Russia put together do not care a straw for the protection of
nationality. The thing is absurd ; and looking forward to
becomingthe possibility of matters worse, what will be the
con lition of this country, unless she has a Parliament that

safe in the hands of Lord Derby ? (Yes, yes ; No,
no.) I for one would be exceedingly sorry that we should
be rednud to such an extremity. We have no faith in
in him, and it now becomes our duty to appoint one who
will represent our feeling's, our interest, and our sympathies.

had now to propose a gentleman to them as a fit and proper
person as one of the representatives for the southern division
of Lancashire, Mr, John Pemberton Heywood. (Applause.)
They would permit him positively to contradict a rumour
that had gone abroad, which was injurious to his friend
It had been stated that he had been dictated to by, and was
a nominee of a leazue, and had been nomifiatedby a clique
in Liverpool. What were the facts ? The clique was
summarilly dissolved many years ago, and, he believed, at
that moment, they would find, probably in the ranks of the
opponents, as many gentlemen who then belont,ed to the

Heywood, and he said it would give him the greatest
pleasure, for he did not know where they would find a
gentle-non so well fitted as Mr. Heywood. Mr. Heywood
had received a monied education in London, and he had
received a ny,mied education in Liverpool. He represented
the mercantile community, and the united interests of the

country. He had ever been a free trader, and anxious, as
far es his means could afford, to contribute to the social
position of his fellow countrymen. He had on every occa
sion endeavoured to discharge his duties and contribut,
towards the support of the established religion. If t
. _
looked through t'

..ae contributions towards the building o,

staunch supporter of the established religion. At the
time he held liberal views. Tic thought the antecedents of
Mr. Heywood were greatly in his favour. Mr. Heywood
had excellent parts, and had no visionary desire to carry re-
