many millions of people in this country, there are many farm. '•
whose comfort depends upon their power to purchase that which
was formerly a luxury, but which the improved habits of me- ,
dera civilisation have made almost a necessary of life even to
the poorest and humblest members of the community. For
whose bniefit was it, Gentlemen, that we were told not to
pas a measure that woad let in foreign sugar ? Why the

voted 20 millions—for whom we are paying annually 800,0001.
interest, and after having given them full and complete
compensation for the emancipation of their slaves ; and
after having told them, as every body did, and
truly and justly told them, that slave labour was dearer
than free labour, and that by emancipating their slaves they
would be no losers, because the freeman who worked readily by
his own fice will would do more than the slave urged by the
lash, and restraine.l by the nianacle.—(Cheers. ) After hav-
ing given them this magnificent compensation—( A Voice—" It's
a pity they should ever have had it")—we have been called upon
to make the industrious classes cf the country submit to the
privation by not being able to purchase the sugar which they
want, and the cause has been unblushingly admitted to be the
interest of the West Indian p'anter.—( Hear, hear.) Now,
Gentlemen, I do not think we have forfeited our claim to the
confidence of the country, because we have preferred the mil-
lions of independent and hard-working Englishmen to the
sin ill number of the already sufficiently compensated planters
of the West Indies.—( Great cheering.)
An ELECTOR here interrupted the Noble Lord by saying,
" Now tell them, my Lord, if they will not permit you and the
Government to reduce the duty, they shall not get the interest
of the twenty millions."--( Cheers. )
Leed PALMERSTON-1 believe, and firmly believe, that if
that alternative, so shrewdly put by my friend below, could be
offered to the majority who voted against our proposition, it is
most probable that its decision would have been reversed, and
we should have found ourselves in a majority.—(Cheers and
laughter.) Well, Gentlemen, lam really ashamed of keeping
you so long. —(Cries of " No, no.") The Noble Lord next
proceeded to advert to the advantages conferred on the coun-
try by the Reform Bill, and especially on the borough of Tiver-
ton. He referred to the particular mode in which the late cor-
poration managed the elections, which appeared greatly to
amuse the audience. He contrasted the present mode of elec-
tion with the former, exhorted the electors to use their privi-
lege honestly and manfully against mo2epoly in every shape,
and concluded a speech of two houf? length amidst great
cheering. The Noble Lord stated that he would be recalled,
by the nature of his duties, to town on )Monday morninar, but
he would be back again with them on the day of election.
