LORDS LYNDHURST AND

RUSSELL.

It is indeed a lamentable thing that faction can so
blind a man to the perception of right and wrong, or io
sear his conscience, as to lead him to act in the way in
which Lord Lyndhurst has acted. He speaks repeat-
edly of Lord John Russell's speech having liecn made
at a public meeting, when it is impossible he could fail
to be aware that the fact was directly the reverse. The
speech was made at a private dinner party, given by the
Mayor of Liverpool, to about forty or fifty gentlemen
of various political opinions, at which not a single news-
paper reporter, nor even, we believe, a single person
connected with the Press, was present. - The dinner
took place on Wednesday the 3d October ; and
the Liverpool Chronicle of the 6th says, in a paragraph
referring to it, " We regret extremely that we have
not been able to obtain anything like even the skeleton
of a report of his speech." In the Liverpool Albion
of the Sth October, such a skeleton did appear ;
having, as was stated by the editor at the time,
been drawn up from the mere recollection of a
gentleman who had been present -at the dinner.
This report was introduced to the attention of the
London world in the Morning Chronicle of October
9th, accompanied by a distinct statement that no re-
porters had been admitted at the dinner ; and therefore
it is impossible for us to conceive, that Lord Lyndhurst
can have been mistaken in representing Lord John Rus-
sell's speech as having been delivered at a public meet-
ing ; he must, we fear, is so stating the case, have been
guilty of a known and wilful misstatement. Nor is he
more correct in asserting, that the report " had never
been disputed ;" for, at an early period of the present
Session of Parliament, Lord John Russell, upon being
twitted with the speech, distinctly stated in the House
of Commons the circumstances under which it was
Rude (at a private dinner party), and under which the
report was published (from the mere recollections, seve-
ral days afterwards, of a guest), and informed the House
in what points it was incorrect.
These are matters of which it seems to us quite out
of the question to suppose that a keen and busy politi-
cian, like Lord Lyndhurst, oould be ignorant ; the
course he took, therefore, we can only refer to a reck-
less
