" Mr. O'Connell entered the room at halt-past five, and was
received with loud cheers, which continued for a considerable
time. The Chairman was supported on thg right by lAr:

Dr. Epps of London, itoV. Nisbett, touncillors
Richardson, Mendell, and Councillor Mitchell of

Our readers Will 'Peie k..liVe that in this list of names
there it Weil hsillgteWhig, and, what is more remarkable
that among the very few, who are ,kupWit to a 03,7:
body, there is not a single flediChlUan, with the exception
of Mr. Tait citd Gillon. There are Dr. Bowring and
Dl. Ipps, Mr.Ruthven and Mr. M. O'Connell, noneof
them Scotchmen, we believe. The rest are all obsonie
Edinburgh Radicals, We should have been happOse a•
lebrate the praise of the Edinburgh Whigs for withhold-
ing their presence and sanetion from this dirty and con-
temptible set-out,- were it•not evident from their Oirt
statements that their absence arose from feelings and
motives more dirty and contemptible ever), if that
be possible, than the jubilee which they refused to
partake. We will quote no hostile or suspicious
authority for our assertion that the Edinburgh \ '
thus insulted Mr. O'Connell, not for the purpose of
upholding any public principle (they are, we believe,
incapable of such an idea), but in order merely to
pose upon the people, and to give themselves a better
chance of success at the next election. An Ediu,
burgh correspondent of the Courier, described by that
paper as " a friend," shall explain the conduct of the
Whigs :
" Most sagaciously did the Whigs act in keeping aloof,
and whatever leaning you have towards a contrary opinion
I think in time you will admit 3,011 P Qettt: Had there been
no Church of Scotland question I think the Whigs would
have acted most absurdly In looking coldly on O'Connell,
but in the prosent of that controversy frig do se would
result to their political sway in the Scots counties had they -
joined in welcoming him to Scotland: Thu WhierS tdlitibt
shut their eyes to O'Connell's itillnenot fttid power ; they
cannot conceal from thoinseivet that but for him Lord Mel-
Lourne's uhnitahle Ministry could not have existed a week t
but tilt), know that, as the head of the Palsts, he it tie=
tested by the mass of the Presbyterians throughout the
counties. Some will say, why offend so very powerful ,a
person in the polities tit the country by your coldness?
The parson who asks such a question should know that
the amour propre of the great agitatOr may be somewhat
ruffled by the secession of a segment of the Whigs, but
such a line of conduct, deeply grounded in prudence, can
never influence him in great and beneficial political mea-
sures brought before Parliament."
This is the apology offered by a friend of the Whigs
for their insulting neglect of Mr. O'Connell, by whom
their party has been kept in place throughout the ses-.
aion, it involves a confession. as disgraceful to the
Whigs as it must be gratifying to all honest men.
There is nothing in the painciples or conduct of Mr.
O'Connell which they dislike so much as to have been
induced thereby to renounce his dinner. But the people
who make Members of Parliament in Scotland do not
afford Mr. O'Connell their confidence or esteem ; and,
therefore, although the Edinburgh Whigs trust the
Honourable and Learned Gentleman most entirely, and
entertain for him the most ptofound regard, they cannot
be seen at a banquet given in his honour. It would be
fele do Se—a crime which the Edinburgh Whigs are
of all men most cautious not to commit. The voters
of Scotland are not O'Connellites, therefore the
Whigs who are O'Connellites must be careful not
to show it. It was not disapprobation of Mr. O'Con-
nell's conduct in Parliament, although, on the floor of
the House of Commons, he invoked the Deity in at-
testation of a known falsehood ; it was not the belief
'that the possession of forty votes in the British House
of Commons by a single individual is plainly repug-
nant to the British Constitution : it was not the know-
ledge that Mr. O'Connell had exercised his dominion
over the Administration to promote Roman Catholic
objects, and to destroy the Protestant Church, that
made the Edinburgh Whigs absent themselves from
the dinner. They absented themselves simply because
by being present, they knew they would lose many
thousands of votes at the next general election. We
had intended to conclude this article by quoting some
of the more prominent passages of Mr. O'Connell's
morning and after-dinner speeches at Edinburgh; but
after a careful perusal of those productions, we confess
we cannot find any thing in them that deserves a place
in our columns.—Morning Post.
