THE SUN, LONDON, SATU4tDAY EVENING, JUNE 2, 1855.

VLSCOU.NT GODERI(H AND HIS
COIVSRITUENTS.

Viscount Goderich was on Wednesday entertained by
his Huddersfield constituents at a banquet in the Gym-
nasium-hall, and afterwards addressed his constituentA in
a much larger gathering at the Philosephical-hall in the

evening.
At the evening meeting Lord GODERICH spoke for up
wards of three hours to about 2,000 people, and in the
course of his address said—We were arrived at a period
in the history of this country the events of which must
have the greatest weight on the future course of Eng-
land, and he felt that no ordinary responsibility might
attach to words falling from a member of 'he Legisla-
ture, however humble his position. It behoved every
man, however, to speak boldly his opinions. (Applause.)
He was thankful that the great question of the corn laws
was finally settled at the first meeting of the present
Parliament, for he trembled to think what might have
been the fate of England had we entered on the present
struggle with Russia with the corn laws still existing.
Reviewing his Parliamentary career since returned
for Huddersfield, and justifying his votes, the noble
lord congratulated the meeting on the progress which
the church-rate question had made, but regretted t hat
the ballot was not in a more advanced position, and that
Parliamentary reform had been again postponed. He
believed it might have been well if our statesmen, with
a wise foresight, had given a reform before the present
war commenced • for, though it was true there was now
a valid excuse for pausing and hesitating at int rna
changes in the midst of external disturbance, yet if our
affairs were carried on much longer in the manner in
which they had been recently administered—if the people
of this country did not find that the House of Commons
was determined to have only in office men who were wil-
ling and who were able to carry on the business of the
country—(cheers) and whose hearts were in the work,
there might come a demand for Parliamentary reform
that might be resisted, but which would be dangerous.
(Hear.) He for one should not shrink from advocating
the necessity of that reform under any circumstances,
but he did feel that the time might not be far distant
when that which was not conceded to the demands of
reason might be yielded to a popular clamour which
might be just, indeed, and might be needed as the only
means of obtaining for this country government by men
who were determined to bring our affairs to a successful
issue, but which might have been better accomplished by
timely wisdom. He looked upon war as a great misfor-
tune, and regarded it in this age, and in a country like
this, as a far greater evil than ever it was before ; and,
however difficult it might be in the quarrels of nations,
as in the quarrels of individuals, fairly to distribute the
blame, he did believe that there was always somewhere
involved a great crime. He was bound to say that he
did not believe this war to be a contest simply about cer-
tain holy places at Jerusalem, for that quarrel in itself was
settled before the real struggle began. Glancing at the
origin of the war, and at the concessions made by the a'lies
to Russsia in order to avoid war, the noble lord said it was
only after the failure of all these attempts that France and
England took up arms. In order to find out why we went
into this war—for he did not think we engaged in it
upon so chivalrous a principle as merely defending the
weak against the strong—(hear)--we must consider the
nature of the aggression of Russia, and the character of
the power which made that aggression. For, however
noble it might be, he did not think it would be safe to lay
down the principle that we were always to intervene in
an unjust war. We must look to other considerations—
to questions of policy ; and it was to these questions he
now addressed himself. In doing this he must go a long
way back, and remind them of what had been the policy
of Russia since the year 1700. It was since that time
she had acquired Finland, Poland, Bessarabia, Georgia,
the Crimea, all her territory to the south of the Cau-
casus, and all her ports of the Black Sea. When
the great cloud of the French revolution burst over
terrified Europe, and in the midst of those difficul-
ties which overthrew Governments and shook mo-
narchs from their thrones, in the midst of all those
horrors that startled mankind, who was it that sat
calm in her isolation and profited by it all ? The
Empress Catherine of Russia. At the congress of the
Conservative statesmen of Europe— not Revolutionists
or Radicals, not even Whigs, but men like Castlereagh
and Metternich were struggling to obtain from the Em-
peror Alexander the recognition of the freedom of Poland.
Those statesmen had left on record their opinions on that
subject. Could it be supposed their opinions were founded
on the love of liberty or a love of Poland ? Surely not ;
but, with the eye of statesmen, they saw where was the
Power that in the future would threaten the world, and
therefore it was that they persisted, almost to the point
of breaking up the conferences, and fought and strug-
gled most ably in order to obtain a barrier between them
and Russia. But in 1815 the man whom they most
dreaded, Napoleon, returned from Elba ; their Bourbon
friends were swept by the tide of French enthusiasm
from their ill-gotten throne ; and then, in fear of the
French Emperor, they consented, in order to obtain the
support of Alexander, then indispensable, to give up the
question of the re-establishment of Poland. All they
asked, and it was conceded, was, that there should be
a sort of nucleus in the shape of the miserable republic
of Cracow, and that the Emperor of Russia should not
take Poland as an integral part of Russia, but as a sepa-
rate kingdom, with a distinct and guaranteed constitu-
tion. He believed it was provided even that a rebellion
should not be held to confiscate the constitution, but
when the Emperor Nicholas put down the rebellion of
1832-3 he abolished the constitution of Poland, and thus
swept away the feeble barrier of 1815. Meantime
Russia was always advancing in the south, and obtaining
concessions from Turkey. For what was Sebastopol made
so strong, and for what purpose were those immense
granite fortifications erected on the worthless isles of
Aland, in the Baltic Sea ? Lord John Russell had told
us, too, that in the petty Courts of Germany Russia ruled
supreme ; so that, if Russian power stopped at the Vis-
tula, her influence only stopped at the Rhine. Russia
had spread her other arm over the south and east, and
was doing all in her power, not to raise the condition
or increase the intelligence of the Greek Christians, but
to exercise a religious and fanatical protection over
them. It might be asked, could that be of any harm to
us ? To answer that question, they must look at the na-
ture of the Russian system. It was not that Russia was
a despotism—we had a despotism in Austria, and one
even across the Channel—but the Russian system was
something more than a despotism—it was a despotism
the principle of which was retrogression. The policy and
influence of Russia had always been exerted to stop the
onward progress of the world. (Cheers.) It was not
merely political, but intellectual progress to which he
alluded. Was there in any part of Russia any outlet for
free thought or free writing? Should we, the western
people of Europe, at the head of civilisation, in the front
of the great battle of thought which had burst upon us
since we laid aside the swaddling clothes of the middle
ages, return to a system which would throw us back
again to even worse than this, and would not even leave
us the blissful right to labour and to think for our
own homes ? (Loud cheers.) Was the industrial and com-
mercial policy of Russia one to which we should like to
submit ? The question was, then, whether Russia was
not attempting to put the crowning stone to her policy
in 1853. If Russia had accomplished her object, and
got to Constantinople,• either actually or virtually, he
believed it would not have taken two years for her to be
either at Konigsburg or at Berlin. Therefore it seemed
to him (Viscount Goderich), if ever war was just—which
was intended to resist dangerous aggression and encroach-
ment —if it was a saving of human life to resist while re-
sistance was possible, instead of struggling vainly when
you were in chains—that the war in which we entered
last year was a just and necessary war. (Prolonged and
enthusiastic cheering.) He believed that if we had made
the crossing of the Pruth a easus belli in the onset, then
Russia would not have crossed it, and he feared that the
war had been occasioned not by a. love of peace, but by
timidity. The admission of the Austrian troops into the
Principalities without a declaration of war he believed to
have also been a fatal mistake. The noble lord then dis-
cussed at some length the Four Points lately forming the
basis of conference at Vienna, and concluded by saying—
it is needless that I should enter into the horrifying de-
tails of the mismanagement of the war. Most of have
bad letters from the Crimea which have corroborated
ninny of the statements in the public press ; and the evi-
deuce before Mr. Roebuck's committee seems to me to
have fully borne out the general character of those state-
ments. We have found that Ministers were not fit for
their places ; that clerks did not do their duty ; that
some surgeons—and those the chief ones—neglected their
patients ; that some generals in important positions a ere
wanting in the qualities needed for their commands ;
that some admirals were not of a character suited to the
important trust in which they were placed, till at last we
are reduced to find it difficult, nay. impossible, to lay a
finger upon one or two men out of the whole lot of them
upon whom the blame really rests. Gentlemen, this is
a despairing picture, but I do not think it is overdrawn.
(" No, no.") There is one comfort in the midst of
all these scenes to which I may be permitted for one
moment to allude, and it is impossible to speak even
casually of the hospital at Scutari without re-
membering the name of her who has changed the face of
that establishment, until order has arisen out of chaos,
comfort has succeeded to misery, and the wants of our
soldiers have been supplied. (Cheers.) The name of
Miss Nightingale has been assailed in some quarters by
calumnies which I need not mention, but which have
been met by the people of England with the reprobation
and contempt they deserved ; and that name will go
down in history—when the name of the Aberdeen Mini-
stry is forgotten, when perhaps, the came of Lord Rag-
lan not recollected—Las the name of one person who
has stood out pre-eminent among them all as the right
woman in the right
came to our place. (Cheers.) When these things
knowledgema we were startled from the proud
belief that we

vital question of the present moment. The watchword, it
6to 1 agst Hospodar (taken freely)
seems, is to be, "The right men in the right places ;" and
that, indeed, must be the watchword of the future. The 6to 1 agst Mortimer (taken)

essence of all good government, and of all success in pub- r
lie or in private life, consists in this—that you put, as 10 to 1 agst Quince
far as you are able, the right men in the right places.
I admit that it may seem a -Utopian object. I admit
that whenever you have got the right men in the right
places you will have secured good government and
perpetual felicity ; but if you do not pitch your
ideal high you will never get on at all. What is
true in morals is true in politics ; unless you strive after
high and noble objects you will never do any good. There-
fore I say that there is the deepest truth in that cry.
True it is that it is not easy to know when you have got
the right men, that it does require those who are to
choose them to be the right men themselves ; and, there-
fore, this I must say, that, however imperative is admi-
nistrative reform in the lower branches of the public
service, the first and last of the whole matter is this, that
you should have in the Government able and fit men.
Make the head able and fit, responsible for the manage-
ment of its subordinates, and it will choose them well.
It is very true that there is a great deal to be done to
carry out administrative reform in every department of
the State—in the army, the navy, and the civil service.
I myself made a slight attempt in a matter of army re-
' form. (Cheers.) I took the point I did then, for this
reason, that it seemed to me it was a practical test, a
thing which could be done at the moment, that it would
prove whether or not the House of Commons and the
Government were ready to give up the principle on which
they had hitherto made these arrangements—not hastily
but in a manner I believed would bear more fruit in fu-
ture than in the present, but which was applicable at
the moment. I failed in a manner that I confess was
gratifying to myself, from the amount of support and
countenance that my proposal received. Other things
might be done—things more extensive in that depart-
ment. Great things might be done in the civil service,
and you have now ample materials in the blue-books
laid before Parliament for commencing changes of that
kind ; and lam bound to say that in the last few days
the Government seems to have awakened to some con-
ception of the matter, and to have issued certain orders
with respect to its regulations that I trust will be useful.
But, after all, it is not merely the Government who have
something to do in this matter ; we have all something to
do ; constituencies in the country and their representa-
tives have a great deal to do with this question. We
are told that the civil service is filled with unfit men,
and how has that civil service been filled ? It has been
filled by the exigencies of party, and at the request of im-
portunate M.P.'s. Now, let me tell you this, that if you
mean to have administrative reform, to have these changes
made in the mode of carrying on the business of the
country, and of appointing men to discharge the duties of
that country's service, we must ourselves be prepared to
take the necessary steps on our side. We members of
Parliament and our constituencies must be prepared not
to wait in the anti-chambers of Ministers to ask for favours.
I am told that the most importunate in these matters get
most ; but the most importunate are not likely to be the
best judges of men, because they are quite certain to be
the most shameless. It is no pleasant matter to have to
ask a favour of a minister ; and I, for one, have now to
say that, as I desire administrative reform, and, as I be-
lieve, at this moment it is peculiarly necessary that mem-
bers of Parliament should maintain their independence
and free judgment, I for one am determined that Mr.
Hayter's office shall never again be darkened by my
shadow. That is the way to prove we are in earnest.
As long as constituencies send to Parliament so-called
Liberals—and there are plenty of them who din into the
ears of Whig secretaries of the Treasury that they want
places for this man and for that—so long as that goes on
you cannot and will not have administrative reform.
There were times when places were bought simply and
plainly for so much money, and there are times, I sus-
pect, when men are bought by equally efficacious, if less
patent means. I don't mean to say that members of
Parliament are open to corrupt bargains. I should be
unworthy of my position in the House of Commons if I
lent my soul to calumniate my colleagues ; but
this I say—that men are kept in good temper
by the places that are given to their friends. A
member of Parliament keeps his constituents in good
temper by the places he gives them ' • the whipper-in
keeps members of Parliament in good temper by the
places he enables them to give to their constitnents ;
and so the whole thing goes on until by pres-
sure upon members of Parliament and upon Mini-
sters, the public service is filled with incompetent
men. Add to that all the influences that are brought to
bear by persons of high position and great wealth, who
may support the Government, and then, I think, you
will find that, after all, the share of blame which falls
upon the wretched Ministers is not so great. Those who
talk about administrative reform are scarcely, perhaps,
aware of the wide bearing which their words have. I
think I have shown you, by what I have now said, that
the task of carrying out effectual reform is not sa easy
and so simple ; that it is not to bo done by arraigning
administrators at public meetings, but by the earnest
co-operation, I may say, of every man in the country ;
and I believe, if what you mean is that the administra-
tion of the country shall be carried on, as we often hear
the phrase, in the manner in which a private business is
carrie4 on, before you arrive at that condition of affairs
you will find yourselves called upon to make far deeper
and far wider changes than perhaps now are contem-
plated. I, for one, am prepared to face the conse-
quence of my opinion. I believe, if this country is to
maintain her high position, and we are to show that free
government and good administration are not incompa-
tible, we must pursue this object fearlessly, withersoever
it may lead us, though cautiously and temperately.
(Cheers.) After some concluding remarks, Lord Gode-
rich sat down amid prolonged and enthusiastic cheering
