Lord JoRN RUSSELL has put forward his address
to the citizens of London, stating the grounds on
which he asks for a renewal of their confidence,
and to be again honoured with a seat for the British
metropolis. We cannot, however, recognise
perfect
the City of
candour in his appeal to the electors of
London. If he consented, as he said, to rescue the
Government from drowning last year, it was simply
because lie had not patched up his little differences
with Lord PALMERSTON, and could not hope to
havepersonally profited by their ejection from office.
hell, however, a satisfactory agreement was con;
W eluded, he willingly abandoned " the pole and hook,
and, by a most factious and unjustifiable resolution,
attempted to throw out the Ministry who had done
more for the nation, than any of their predecessors
for a series of years.
The resolution was artfully contrived, and,
unfortunately, it answered the intended purpose,
by capturing stray votes, and thus shelving the
question
in tion of Reform for the present year. Con-

finality for a score of
tainl years, and that he cer-
y manifested neither zeal nor energy

which he was compelled to bring forward, we
must, while ; ;
gnyLng him credit for former
exertions decline to repose unlimited confidence in
his future intentions, and
more so inasmuch as he
has declined to
give any indication respecting his
views, save that he is, as evcr, opposed to THE
BALLOT, the Alpha
and
Reformer's heart. Omega in every true

strove to play off the dodge practised with so much
success by his brothers on the last election. Let it
be discussed, and the truth will prevail. Of
course it will be discussed, while HENRY
FITZHARDINGE BERKELEY and his consistent
and honest disciples retain seats in the
representative branch of the Legislature,
and so long as the people of this country are so
strongly interested in obtaining protection. for the
humble voter against every corrupt and debasing
influence. A great principle is at stake, and the
citizens of London should not, by their votes, re-
turn one, however eminent in other respects, who
be, one of
has ever been, and will still continue to
the most formidable opponents of the privilege of
secret voting.
Lord STANLEY is not thus disposed. He has lon
been in favour of g
THE BALLOT, and so long as he
continues a' Cabinet Minister the prospect of its
adoption win be materially advanced. Should he be
chosen by the people of London, the Liberal cause

and there are many which would well
act in
a similar manner if there was any chance of the
requisition being accepted.

Lord ToHN RUSSELL asks the electors of London
"not to proscribe men who are opposed to THE
BALLOT". But it is one thing to proscribe and an-
other to give confidence, and elect as representative
a man who totally differs from a large proportion
of the citizens, on what they believe to be a matter
of vital importance. It was not by such lukewarm
intlifference that the repeal of the bread tax—the
abolition of the monster monopoly that para-
lyted the energies of the industrial po-
