the fact, that the probable result of the success tf the Amendment
would be to drive, prematurely, from power, an admiMstration incompa-

alarm at the prospect of men with such opinions as the honourable
member for London and the hen. member for BritipOrt succeeding
to the powers of Government in this country; and he had teartosily And

c,,nscienticusly done his duty xgainst the Amendment. The ai.
pointment of such men would carry dismay and doOlation
into the heart@ of the people of England. 'lt would announce the tie-

struction of that nice eq. uii,olse of the constitution so much boasted by
politicians. It would announce to the agriculturiSts the abolition or
the corn-laws; to the possessors of wealth it would bespeak the destrun.

member of Oldham (Mr. Cobbett)—the equitable adjustment of the tia-

attacks, and steadily persevere promoting the success of those princi.
ciples which he had formed in his boyhood, confirmed in his riper years,
and which he never ceased to cherish.

Mr. HUME explained. He had merely stated of the hon. member
that he was a member of Lord Stanley's committee. If he was not,
then he (Mr. Hume) had misrepresented the hon. member. If, •on the
oth,r hand, he was a member of that committee, he knew not what
grbitad of complaint there could be against him (Mr. Hume.)
Mr.• YOVNG said he was not in the house when the allusion
was made, but he hall been informed that the hon. gentleman had repr.,-
sented him as a wolf in sheep's clothing. "
Mr. HUME denied having spoken of the hon. member as a Noll is

upon his side of tie house.
