the able st supporters too. I speak from experience. I have
ststed on the floor in the House of Commen., and I know
what debating is. I know thst without Mr. O'Connell,
Mr. Daniel Whittle Hervey, an/ Mr. Shell, the Go-

Yet there may have been mere 11 irked Geveremetes ; ti-re
may hare been more powerful and dangerous Governments,

to future time will tell posterity that it was worthy on'y of
the contempt tit a great people, that, whilst clinging to oillec

saw him once the Lord Chancellor of England, the keeper of
the IVng's conscience, the first law adviser of. the Crown, I
saw him standing at the foot of the Throne, when his
Royal Master, by advice in which Lord Brougham par-
ticipated, hurled defiance at him %bon his Lordship
justly designated as the mendicant Agitator of Ireland.—
( Loud and long continued applause.) I have seen this
same Lord Brougham, who boasted of his daily correspon-
dence with Royalty, writing a letter, a mot obsequious letter,
to some Chairman. of a meeting at the Crown wild Anchor
Tavern, apologising for his absence and eegreiling that 'he was
not present when that very Mr. WOeimeli proposed at that
same meeting the establiiiintent in England of an Association
to be formed oh the ntodl of that Irish Association which Lord
arougham concurred with his colleagues is, wideavouring to
put down by statutory enactments 1,..,e1•0nd the reach of the

" 0111 aticat a fall was there, my countrymen !"
a fall linire v,:eirees, never' to rise again. __(Cheers.) Since
the 14e., of t4urd Damn I know no example of such a fall.
ai quite eahamed of having detained von so long—( No,
no)-..bit there is one point to which I wish to advert ; I mar
bo asked to What we should ascribe the sudden change which
has come over the dream of the Government—bow it has
happened that all at once the Government has declared
against the Ballot, when, during the elections, Lord John Rus-
sell eoneealed Lie hoitility to that measure. I speak advisedly ;
I believe that the cause which has arrested the downward pro-
gress of Government, in radical change leading to revolution,
is the firntners, the judgment, the good sense, and the vir.
tuous and religious educatinn, of our maiden Queen. I be-
lieve Ilia has distinctly told Ministers that their Radical expe-
riments shall not be tried, that the Colonies shall not be sur-
rendered, that the property and ju:t rights of the Church shall
not be invaded, that the command of the atmv shall not be
wrested from her. " I have, (said her Majesty), do predilec-
tions for party men, but to principles I sail! adhere; and ifyou
continue in office, it is oet those principles you must ad ninister
the affairs of the country."—( Loud cheers.) This I believe
is the real situation of the conduct of Government. I have
made up my mind to make in my native county a bold stand
with those who think will me that the crews should not be
" called in to peek the eagles," and I am prepared if necessary
to join with my bitterest pe.sonal enemy--I hope I have few—
against my dearest personal friend, in order to uphold the sa-
cred institutions of
.my country. The Birmingham Political
Union have put forth a declaration of their principles. This
declaration is very short and expressive. It says that the
time is arrised when the government by numbers must su-
pereede the government by property. lam for the govern-
ment by property against the government by nembers. Mr.
Roebuck adverting at a public meeting to Loral J. Russell's
declaration that the object of the Reform Bill was to give a
preponderance to the landed interest, took occasion to oh-
serve that the two Members fur East Cumberland were the
only two County Members returned to Pa.lianieet who were
opposed to the agricultural interest.—(lloar, hear.) lam a
meanhoe of that agricultural interest, lam for the Govern-
ment by property as opposed to the Government by numbers.
The Right Hon. Baronet resumed his seat amidst cheering
of the most enthusiastic: description, which lasted for a eon-
siderahla time.

The CLIAIRMAN proposed the fullowing toasts, which were
drunk, as they deserve to be, with acclamations of applause :--
" The Duke of Wellington, and the House of Lords."
" Sir Ruhert Peel, and the Conservative Members of the
1-101po as Commons."
Sir J. Gastissi returard thanks for his Right lion. Friend.
He said that, when a eanaervative Cove:ll:nem was formed,
Sir Robert Peel must be at its head. If they lo.iked at his
prudence, his great experience in puhlie affairs, hie pre-r.n:i-
ntmt provers in debate, the spotless integrity of his private life,
and the sour.dneu of his religious principles, lw was every
way entitled to that poet. lie then paid an elegant comp i-
ment to L-ird Stanley, and siid thA he never would despair
of his ouisntty while Sir &Alert reel and his 'Nuble Friend
wort united; anal he believed that the union no,/ was indisso-
luble. He concluded by proposing Lord Stat.ley's health,
which was druid( with three times curer.
The company then retired, after spending an evening which
will be long remembered in the eastern divisioa of the county
of Cumberland.
There was 4 profusion of everything of the hat kind, and
the wine ass excellent.
