Lord JOHN 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
_ _

_ -
candour in his appeal to the electors of the City o
London. If he consented, as he said, to rescue the
Government from drowning last year, it was simply
because he had not patched up his little differences
with Lord PALMERSTON, and could not hope to
have personally profited by their ejection from office.
When, however, a satisfactory agreement was con:,
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
fora series of years.
The resolution was artfully contrived, and,
unfortunately, it answered the intended purpose,
by capturing stray votes, and thus shelving the
question of Reform for the present year. Con-
sidering that Lord JOHN was the advocate of
finality for a score of years, and that he cer-
tainly manifested neither zeal nor energy
In Pressing forward the stinted measure
which he was compelled to bring forward, we
must, while giving him credit for former
ehxl.s ertions, decline to repose unlimited confidence in
futu
re intentions, and more so inasmuch as he
has declined to give
,
views save any indication respecting his

at stake, and the
citizens of London should not, by their votes, re-
turn one, however eminent in other respects, who
has ever been; and will still continue to be, one of
the most formidable opponents of the privilege of
secret voting.
LOTCSTANLEY is not thus disposed. Ile 0

favour of THE BALLOT, and so longs
continues a Cabinet Minister the
prospectgas of its
ay ad
adoption will be
materiadvanced. Should he be
chosen by the people of London, the Liberal cause

will Parliament, and in the country
be greatly promoted, Every sincere Liberal

metropolis of England—has invited him as well
as London, and there are many -which would act in
a similar manner if there was any chance of the
requisition being accepted.

Lord JOAN RUSSELL asks the electors of London
"not to proscribe men who are opposed to TILEI
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
indifference that the repeal of the bread tag c—,--the
abolition of the monster monopoly that para-
lysed the energies of the industrial po-
