LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 10, 1865.

The week just opened will be one of the most ex-
citing in the political year, and before its close a
large proportion of the members will have been duly
elected. At the present moment therefore every one
is on the qui viveoclubs and coteries are busy dis-
cussing the chances of rival candidates, and the
general standing of the party which they represent.
Every little nook and byeway of this great metro-
polis bears some trace of the grand crisis now arrived
at, and even those quite suburban retreats whose
very existence is scarcely remembered by M.P.'s on
other occasions are now drawn into the vortex—they
become the scene of animated addresses and enthu-
siastic meetings, and suddenly rise into political im-
portance. In every part of the country the same
scene is going forward, although the chief interest
just now centres upon the metropolitan boroughs,
almost every one being the subject of aid active
contest.

'The independent politician standing aside from
the immediate controversy, and looking on at the
election as a whole, watches with interest the course
which the various constituencies will take rather
with regard to its ultimate effect upon the govern-
ment of the country than with respect to the indivi-
dual triumph of any particular member. Viewed in
this aspect the election becomes more than a mere
temporary excitement, every contest becomes signi-
ficant, and every member must be looked upon
rather as an addition to the strength of his party
than as a representative of any particular locality.
There can be no doubt that the interest usually felt
in the issue of a general election is this year consi-
derably heightened by the present condition of the
Parliamentary parties. The so-called Liberals, or
rather Ministerialists, cannot help avowing that
they are fighting this campaign under some disad-
vantages. The last general election found them
with the war cry of Reform, which they raised loud
enough to drown all other sounds. It was
the great question of the hour, and the Libe-
rals were undoubtedly the fit and right persons
to deal with it. Since 1832 the completion of the
great work was expected from the Whigs by the
innocent and unsuspecting public, who did not per-
ceive that the tide of innovation and improvement
had just stopped short of the Whigs themselves.
A reluctant consent was extorted from the Tories,
and their enforced assent to the march of pro-
gress was favoured by the fact of having one of
the early reformers as their political head, but it was
naturally thought that men with whom the exten-
sion of the franchise, the ballot, and triennial Par-
liaments were established articles of their political
code would be the proper and efficient persons to
carry out a genuine if cautious reform. So that in
1859 the cry of Reform was a potent auxiliary.
The Conservatives had, it is true, redeemed their
pledges by the introduction of a Reform Bill, but
that very fact was against them, Since, although
capable of improvement, it fell short of the popular
wishes and expectations. But the old adage which
defines the comparative value of birds in immediate
and prospectivepossession, was very aptly, if very un-
pleasantly,illustrated in the conduct of our advanced
Liberals. The Reform Bill, once the party were
established in office, melted away into thin air, and
those constituencies who were really in earnest about
the measure were left lamenting their own credulity
and the bad faith and disingenuousness of the
Whigs ! Therefore, not only do the members of
the once triumphant party present themselves at the
hustings without the advantages of their former cry,
but they find it used against them. The Conser-
vatives, grown bolder, do not hesitate to support the
extension of the franchise, and especially the adop-
tion of the lodger clause, if they shrink from its
reduction, but the Liberals have to explain what
they have done with their opportunity. If they
claimed the credit of having.carried useful measures
of internal legislation, they admit that they could
have carried a Reform Bill had they liked ; if, on
the other hand, they try to throw the blame on
their opponents, they must accord them the benefit
