KR. BASS AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.

On Wednesday evenin3l.adinner was given at
the King's Head Hotelthe ex-mayor. Mr. Ro,
e -rb y, to Mr. P. Clarke,
themayor, presided. In
reply to the toast of the'
~ Borough and County
Parliament Members," Mr. Bass said that

would of the comforts and necessaries of life must meet
with approval. He hoped that they oe fol-
lowed next session by others of an equally bene-
ficial character, and that he and ethers similarly
situated might be relieved from a tax inflicted
upon them which, in his case, amounted to from
£6,000 to £7,000 a year. He deeply deplored
the struggle in Poland, but he did not think
that this country would be justified in
going to war with Russia upon that questions
He did not expect that any good would result from
the French proposal of a European congress. With
regard to America, he thought no man of right feel-
ling and of judgment would say anything in favour
of slavery ; but it was impossible to deny that
slavery held the same position before the separation
as it did now, and even President Lincoln had de-
clared for the preservation of the Union with
slavery, rather than that there should be a separa-
tion of the States. He did not agree with Earl
Russell that the majority in this country were in
favour of the North, nor was it true as declared by
some that the aristocracy took part with the
South, and the democracy with the North. Earl
Russell, who was looked upon as a friend of the
North, was not a democrat; nor was Mr. Villiers,
who had recently, at Wolverhampton, justified a
comparison between the war in America and the
disturbed state of Ireland 10 years ago, when the
repeal of the Union was agitated. He (Nlr. Bass)
denied that there was any analogy between
the cases. Ireland had been for 700 years part of
the British dominions, and though the people
wished for a Parliament of their own, they never in
his experience wished for a separation. But, still,
if the Irish had been fighting two years for separa-
tion, and were prepared to fight till they obtained
it, he would let them go. Mr. Bright, Mr. Schole-
field, Mr. Roebuck, and Mr. Lindsay could not be
called aristocrats, and yet, with the exception of
Mr. Bright, they were all in favour o f the South.
It was a mistake to let opinions be circulated that
it was a mere matter of feeling between the higher
and lower classes. Mr. Bass then dwelt on the
vast size of the United States, and expressed his
conviction that a separation d
the whole world. was for the interest of
the North, the South, He
could not conclude without saying how much he
approved the neutral course taken by this countrv.
