LONDON, THURSDAY, OCT. 18, 1866

Mr. BRIGHT has bad a few last words to say in
Glasgow, and yesterday morning was entertained
at breakfast by a body of the Scottish National
Reform League. On this occasion the hon. meta-
jeer for Birmingham seemed to be more moderate in
his tone than he was on the previous evening, al-
though there was still an under-current of bitter-
ness in his discourse ; but we believe this has grown
so much to be his habit by this time that he can
hardly avoid indulging in this strain when he
gets excited or interested in a theme.
At the commencement of his speech Mr.
Brower dwelt chiefly on subjects more inti-
mately connected with Scottish interests. 0j
course he interpolated a little abuse general and
particular into his summary of the affairs relating
to national representation, and he told his hearers
that " he could not believe that the tenant farmers
in lladdingtonshire would submit to be long repre-
sented as they now are." Worse than that, how-
ever, is to be the doom of Lord ELCHO ; for Mr.
BRIGHT does not think that until the Scottish people
are wholly changed that there will be found any
county in Scotland, " any population, or electoral
body even, that can be in favour of repre-
sentation by such a gentleman." This sweep-
ing condemnation is thoroughly in unison
with Mr. BRIGHT'S mode of judging. If any one
differ from him, no matter how great or influential
he may be, how much respected for his private cha-
racter, how much admired for his talent or energy,
he must be set aside as useless lumber not worthy
to come before the public. Until all men are
born with the same tastes and feelings, with
similar opinions and like convictions, we
do not see how this theory of one voice
can ever be reconciliated. The best and wisest
differ continually, and it would be great
presumption on the part of any politician to decide
who is or
who is not useful, and who has or has not
the welfare of the country and the true interests of
the people at heart.
Mr. BRIGHT Pays a well-deserved tribute to the
intelligence of the people of Scotland, and especially
records his opinion of the good order maintained by
those who figured in the display of Tuesday, but we
beg to assure him that such merits
.s feelings, wouldand
not long
be theirs if they were actuated by la
shared his views in respect to their superiors in
station.

The true greatness and real glory of the lower
classes of Englishmen and Scotchmen consist i
u
t heir exhibition of those qualities which arc the very
reverse of those Mr. BRIGHT imputes to them. They
were never further removed from a desire to pro-
ceed to violence than they are at present, but that
does not exculpate him from constantly referring to
the nation. lie amuses himself by asking what
would become of the United Kingdom if
the men of these classes re to be sud-
denly taken from us, an wed
then replies,
" Why, the nation would dwindle into
no nation at all, and those men who from the heights
of their wealth look down upon those multitudes
'whom) buguefoi alone it is to labour and to obey the
