have hitherto sat on different sides of the House,
but of men who, although they may differ on cer-
tain questions, yet upon great public questions have
found their opinions the same. My right hon.
friend simply suggested that that is more probable
than many men imagine from the eagerness with
which Mr. Bright deprecates any such course, and
seeks to place an impossible chasm between that
party and their opponents. He says that if mode-
rate men of both parties can be brought to act to-
gether the game of those who seek extreme mea-
sures is gone. (Hear.) He talks of a coalition,
but what can be such a coalition as an union be-
tween himself and those whom he calls Whigs,
whom he has been for years systematically abusing?
(llear, hear.) He does this because he fears that
moderate men would forget party ties, and, looking
only to the interest of their country and the settle-
ment of those great questions, will say we have
been long separate, but for common interests and
for the attainment of one common object let us for-
get what is past, and unite over an effort jointly to
support the throne, to improve the Constitution,
and to extend the representation as far as we can,
so as to admit the working classes to the benefit we
ourselves enjoy. (Cheers.) Let us unite for these
purposes, and I believe that if honest men do so
combine the member for Birmingham will not long
enjoy the authority which he now possesses. Mr.
Fitzgerald resumed his seat amid loud and general
cheering.
Several other toasts were given, and the proceed-
ings were not brought to a close until a late hour.
