LONDON, FRIDAY, JAN.. 6, 1865.

-

The Conservatives have had a large gathering at
Leeds, and in spirit and style it has contrasted not
unfavourably with those of their political opponents.
The presence of Mr. FERRAND insured an animated
and interesting discourse, and the hon. gentlenian
did not fall short of expectation on this occasion.
He vehemently denounced the course pursued by
those members who had departed from their pro-
mises and proved false to the trust reposed in them
at the time of their election. Certainly the name
of such is " legion," but they will soon find that,
as Mr. FERRAND told them, the day of reckoning
draws near. Truly did he observe that " men
within the walls of St. Stephen's who betrayed
their trust, insulted the electors, and betrayed their
interests." It is to be hoped that the prediction
here made will be realised, and that many who have
compromised themselves will be weighed in the
balance and sent to the rightabout. Perhaps there
never was a Parliament that contained more who
have failed in fulfilling ti4ir avowed intentions at
the Period of their election. It is very convenient
to push away the consideration of awkward subjects,
but such subterfuges should not be suffered to avail,
and the electors of England have a duty to perform
which it behoves them not to shrink from. It is all
very well to descant upon the extension of the suf-
frage and other desirable changes at Reform meet-
ings, but it might be suggested to those who talk so
glibly that their party has been the one of obstruc-
tion, and that had Earl. RUSSELL and his coa-
lition not been so active, by this time we should
have had a very different state of things. Had
the Reform Bill of Lord DERBY'S Govern.
ment been suffered to pass, as it
ought
and certainly would have done had there been any
real desire for improvement on the part of profess-
ing Liberals, something would have been gained in
the right direction ; but nothing can excuse the con-
duct of those who professed such indignation at its
incompleteness, and then did nothing themselves
when they had the chance. Now that its end
draws nigh, it is but natural that we should recall
the circumstances that attended its opening. Earl
RUSSELL has taken care to put himself out of
danger, and he will have to render no account of
stewardship, but his confederates may find their
task not so easy as they imagine. In his amusing
manner, Mr. FERRAND criticised the course pursued
by the Liberals, who, he said, were going to try
