[ ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
An infallible remedy for bad legs and all kinds of wounds.
The surprising sale of these invaluable medicines in every
part of the civilised world is the most convincing proof of
their efficacy. They speedily cure bad legs, old wounds,
scrofula, and diseases of the skin. Thousands of persons
suffering from these dreadful maladies have been cured by
them after every other means had failed ; and it is a fact
beyond all doubt that there is no case, however obstinate
or long standing, that may bo quickly relieved and ulti-
mately cured by these wonderful medicines. Their united
action is irresistible ; more need not be said in praise of
these celebrated pills. Let tho Fie who doubt their excel-
lence give them a trial.

(From the Scotsman.)
It is understood that Mr. Disraeli has now virtu-
tually accepted the invitation to a political dinner
in Edinburgh on the 29th proximo, got up by some
of the more zealous though neither most discreet nor
most exalted of the Scotch, or rather Edinburgh
Conservatives. We shall all be glad to see and
hear a public man of so much distinction, and there
is no need for saying that there is neither class nor
party in Scotland that would dream of exhibiting
anything but courtesy towards such a visitor. But,
viewing Mr. Disraeli with reference solely to his
present politicalkosition and recent achievements,
a serious question might be raised as to which is the
political party that owes him gratitude and can fitly
pay him honour—the Scottish Reform League, or
the Conservative Committee. He has been doing
Radical ploughing with a Conservative heifer—and
it seems at least fully as fitting that he should be
paid by those whose work he has done as by those
whom he has made to do the work. But somehow
there is no competition—the Scotch Bealesites take
the goods the Conservative demigod provides, and
incline to say nothing about it. The question,
therefore, as to who are the proper entertainers does
not practically arise, and the merely abstract ques-
tion is not very interesting. Behind that, however,
comes another questiolis—for what merit or achieve-
ment is it that the Scotch Conservatives, having
neglected Mr. Disraeli so long, are bent on doing
him honour now? That is not only a natural but
an irrepressible question, and one which, pending
explanations, the more it is considered seems the
more unanswerable. It is now a very long time—
almost a generation—since the Scottish Conserva-
tives have seen fit formally to honour any Conser-
vative statesman; and it is just about as long since
Mr. Disraeli, now to be complimented for the first
time, began his career in Parliament. It is exactly
30 years since Sir Robert Peel was entertained at a
really great banquet at Glasgow. Is this his right-
ful successor who is now to be entertained at Edin-
burgh, and is this entertainment to be given for
the same kind of services ? Sir Robert Peel was
entertained at Glasgow when, after having unsuc-
cessfully though strenuously resisted Parliamentary
reform, he had, by the skilful management of other
questions, brought back the Conservative party
almost to an equality of strength, and had " con-
served" some of those institutions, such as the
Irish Church, of which the Conservatives then
claimed to be the special guardians. In a word,
Sir Robert Peel was emertained because he had
resisted the £lO Reform Bill, and had defeated or
impeded some of the legitimate consequences of that
dreaded measure. It might seem easy to say that
it is for quite opposite services or disservices that
Mr. Disraeli is now to be entertained ; but in truth
it is not easy to say anything about the matter till
we are told which is the part of Mr. Disraeli's very
variegated political career for which the Scotch
Conservatives have contracted a somewhat sudden
admiration. During the 40 years that Mr. Disraeli
has been a public rnau, and the 30 years that he has
been a Parliamentary man, the Scotch Conserva-
tives have never until now thought of doing him
honour, or indicated any desire to behold his face.
He has, in his time, played four distinct political
parts—and it is desirable to know for which per-
formance he is now about to receive that applause
which, in a purely histrionic view, he has pretty
equally deserved in them all. He began as a It Ldieal
under the patronage of Joseph Hume and Daniel
O'Connell ; but pass that over, because it may
pretty safely be assumed that this is not what the
Scotch Conservatives mean to commemorate, be-
cause Mr. Disraeli has obviously come back very
nearly to the place whence he started. There is
indeed cause for pathos rather than for jeering in
comparing Mr. Disraeli's earliest past with his pre-
sent—in seeing him, after a long, arduous, excited,
and exhausting career, coining back in the end to
where he was at the beginning—

-- as a hare whom horns and hounds pursue,
Pants to the place from I•hence at first he flaw.
Then he became a faithful though ambitious fol-
lower of Sir Robert Peel ; but he did not in that
capacity attain such eminence as to render it sup-
posable that it is for that either that the Scotch
Conservatives are honouring him 20 years after date.
His eminence first came when Sir Robert Peel first

left his party, and Mr. Disraeli undertook the task
of punishment and revenge. It must be admitted
that, with the distinguished exception of the D uke
of Buccleuch (is he to be chairman of the I)israelite
dinner?), and also of one or tyro other magnates,
such as Sir George Clerk and the late Lord Had-
dington, all the Scotch Conservatives were in that
case with Mr. Disraeli. The English Conservatives
split into Peclites and Protectionists, but we knew
almost nothing of such distinctions here—with the
Scotch Tories, Peel was a traitor, and Mr. Disraeli
an instrument of divine justice. There was, by-the-
bye, another great Conservative dinner got up even
so late as 1851, by pretty nearly the same people
who are getting up Mr. Disraeli's dinner at this
time—the late Lord Eglinton presided, and, Peel
being then beyond the reach of wrath, the very Duke
of Buecleuch was rebuked, though with all the
gentleness due to a duke. But even then Mr.
Disraeli was not thought of—the opinions were
endorsed, and the denunciations echoed; but the
man was not invited, and but slightly complimented.
Is it meant to repair this mistake at this late hour
and under these present circumstances ?

it can scarcely be—for, besides lapse of time, the
circumstances have so entirely changed that Mr.
Disraeli is fresh from doing more and worse than the
Scotch Conservatives accused Sir Robert Peel of
doing the last time they " greatly daring, dined.',
Peel confessedly changed his opinions on a certain
question ; he resigned in order both to abdicate the
leadership of his party and to let his newly adopted
opinions be carried out by their older advo-
cates ; and he consented to carry out his
new opinions when their older advocates had
failed to form a government, when he had
separated himself from his old party, and had the
promise of support from his former opponents. Mr.
Disraeli, without confessing any change of opinion,
has acted in the teeth of his former professions, and
has pulled his party after him to illimitable lengths
in a course in which he and they had previously
refused to advance one inch. Is it for this that the
Scotch Conservatives are about to honour Mr.
Disraeli in 1867 ? If so, why did they not much
more honour Sir Robert Peel in 1846 ? Rather,
why, on the contrary, did they then revile Peel, and
revile him through Mr. Disraeli as their organ ?
Why do our Scotch Conservatives give Mr. Disraeli
a dinner for stealing a horse, while they declared a
halter too good for Sir Robert Peel, who only looked
over the hedge? Mr. Disraeli made a good hit by
denouncing Sir Robert Peel, and also by implication
the Duke of Buccleuch, as having " caught the
Whigs bathing, and stolen their clothes ;" but Mr.
Disraeli has now caught the Radicals bathing, and
has run off, not merely with their clothes, but with
their skins. And the Duke of Buccleuch (or if not,
everybody will understand the reason why) is to be
the head and front of a compliment paid to the man
who was both funny and furious upon him for an
incomparably smaller breach of fidelity to party and
principle. Of course, returning good for evil is a
fine thing, and all the finer that it is so very rare.
But the case of the rest of the dinner company,
though a still more rare, will not be nearly so fine
a thing—for they will be complimenting a man for
doing a thing a hundred times more evil than the
thing for the doing of which they employed this
same man to revile and persecute another man.

Turning from men to measures, and from prin-
ciples to results, perhaps it is gratitude for the Re-
form Bill that is meant to be expressed by the Dis-
raelite dinner. Well, the bill either is Mr. Disraeli's
or it is not and, in either case, the Conservatives
