THE SUN.

TUESDAY. DECEMBER 14, 1838.

We often hear of the contrast between Lord
DERBY and his justly popular son—are we to have
another contrast between the Whig Lord Chief
Justice and his son ? On Tuesday we had the
veteran judge at Fishmonger-hall warning the
Tories not to be too radical ; if they dared to be so,
the Whigs were ready enough to act the Conser-
vative, and to prevent the good old Constitution
receiving an irreparable shock. On the following
Thursday, however, we had the son of the noble
lord, at Taunton, proving to a crowded audience
there, that the Ballot was the one reform of all
reforms, which Whigs and all professsed
reformers ought to be ready to concede. We
shall, however, till we receive advice to the
contrary, prefer to understand that the noble and
Learned Judge himself is a friend to the Ballot.
It may be that, like Sir ARTHUR HALLAM ELTON,
he deems it a Conservative measure, or it may be
that he agrees with Lord MACAULAY and Mr.
GROTE, or it may be, that being an aged judge,
and presumably filled with a strong sense of jus-
tice, he approves from his best moral judgment of
Fotectins the right of every elector to an un-
biassed vote.

Whatever be Lord CAMPBELL'S own opinion that
of his son is row before the world, and it is no more
than justice to the Hon. W. F.CAMPBELL to say that
on a subject so repeatedly pronounced " worn thread-
bare," he has made a really interesting speech. Our
readers will, we are sure, if they commence its
perusal, not turn from it till they have concluded
it; not at least if they are, as we all should be now,
interested in the Reform question. Mr. CAMPBELL
reviews the political bearings of the subject in a
very impartial manner, and recalls opinions of
great statesmen which probably have been for-
gotten by most, on both sides, and shows very
fairly their present relevance or the contrary.
After all that has been written most will find some
instruction from his remarks, and we may hope
that few will be able altogether to resist
his beautiful Peroration on behalf of the
independence of the voter—" The indepen-
dence of judges had long been a com-
mon theme of pride and exultation. Since 1688
no court had dared to attempt the coercion of our
representatives in Parliament. It was, therefore,
an anomaly, as well as a misfoi tune, that the elector,
by whom the whole machinery of government is
called into existence, should be oppressed in his
performance of the duty the Reform Act had
assigned to him. They knew, for well-authenti-
cated figures had explained to them, that a very
large proportion of electors in the country lived in
houses between the valtes of £lO and £l5.
Such men, however honest in their characters,
however sound in their political opinions,
were cut off from the various excitements
of which wealth and ease were indispensable condi-
tions. It must occasionally happen that rent and
local rates pressed with too much severity upon
them. Unhappy speculation might embarrass
them. Debt might choose them for its victims.
And these evils undoubtedly received a cruel aggra-
vation if at the very moment the elector would
seem to be enabled to dismiss them from his
memory—when he was called upon to do his duty
to the public, to assert the tenets which he held,
and which perhaps his forfathers had left to him—
he found himself compelled, as he advanced towards
the hustings, to balance the reproach of sacrificing
his convictions, and the fear of ruining his home."
Freedom of election, as established by the Ballot,
would still leave them a national establishment as
they had at present. The voter's free use of his
own judgment would in no way affect the retention
