LONDON; FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 1866.

Another night of long and somewhat tedious
debate has been spent over the Reform Bill, and
the arguments pro and con have been gone over

again and again, leaving, one would suppose, little

to be said on either side of the question. The chiefs
of either party did not come forward last evening,

but left the battle to be waged by their supporters.
Mr. MILNER GIBSON, Mr. HCGIIES, Mr. GRAHAM,
and Sir W. HCTT on behalf of the measure, and
Lord ELCHO, Mr. DOULTON, and Mr. GATHORNE
HARDY in favour of the amendment, were the

who opened the campaign, boldly declared his
belief that, with regard to the majority of its sup-

speakers, and endeavoured to infuse a little
variety into the debate by the introduction of a
little recrimination and personality. Mr. GRAHAM,

porters, the amendment might be described as the
lurking place in which the enemies of Reform lay
in wait to assassinate that which they shrank from

openly assailing. Mr. GRAHAM devoted himself
principally to answering the arguments brought
forward by Sir HUGH CAIRNS, which he grouped
under three heads. The first was that personal fit-

ness constituted no title to the suffrage; the second
that the reduction proposed by the Bill was preci-

pitate and reckless ; the third that the division of the

scheme of Reform was unconstitutional and im-
proper. Mr. GRAHAM drew his answers to these
assertions principally from the speeches of the

right honourable member for Buckinghamshire
in 1860. Mr. GRAHAM himself brought a very

sensible argument forward with respect to the
dreaded preponderance of the working classes.
That, he said, was a danger very much talked
about ; but nothing was said about another danger
—that of the preponderance of the middle classes.
This is an evil, in fact, which- we are actually suf-
fering from at present, though it is unfashionable
to talk about it ; and to the overwhelming influence
of the commercial classes we are indebted for the
somewhat materialistic policy which has gained upon
us of late, and which, in the long run, tends to defeat
itself, pwifoFt,T --mar, by its abject devotion to peace.
No one at the present day wishes to rush into war for
every difference of opinion, still less to undertake
the equivocal and ungracious task of forcing a
particular rater or dynasty on an unwilling people ;
but it is unquestionable that the timorous and
selfish conduct of England in several recent ques-
tions of international justice and the faith of treaties
has not only weakened her influence, but has done
damage to the cause of freedom and national
independence in both hemispheres.
Mr. MILNER GIBSON, in supporting the mea-
sive, which he did as a matter of course,

nail awed the question to a very small corn-
The real question before the II
011 SC,
to Mr. GIBBON'S mode of putting it,
according'
was whether there should, or should not be, a re-
duction of the franchise. Ile warned the house
that if the bill were rejected, the country generally
would believe that the House of Commons had
answered the question in the negative. The public
would not understand the technicalities of the
Parliamentary regime. They would all say if the
amendment were carried, that the House of Com-
mons had declared against the extension of the
franchise. " The country," continued the right hon.
member; see that this is the time for
RfN IffBti 8i tiißB
action.
