Now that the Parliamentary campaign has com-
menced, it may not be uninteresting to take a view of
the opposite champions now. buckling .on their armour
for the fight. In the Lords there will be, on .the ohn
side; Lord Eza.llllloltoUoH, the only debater. amongst
the Ministerialists, encountered by one not less• keen,
cutting, and pertinacious, than himself —we mean Lord.
DUS‘AM. The more regular and systematic speakers
\ oft the right hand of the throne, are Lords Anal:man,-
Duntay, and BATHURST, Which last is, bating
.great
deficiencies of manner* .a very; sensible,aisd dignified
speaker. On the left are, 'Lord floi.t.ants, the most
impetuous; Lord GRIM the most elriquent r and Lord
lAnsoowx, the smoothest, of the Whig orators in the
Upper House. "Among the auxiliaries the former Wilt
have the Earl of MALMESRURY, Lord COLCHBSTSR, and
several others—the latter will have Lord KING, perhaps
the Earl of LAUDIRDALE. 'the Premier does not pre-
tend to speak, and will not, we are inclined to believe*,
attempt' it. His brief addresses; however, cannot fail to
carry great weight, not only from his station, but from
his high character. In the Commons the lead will, of
course, fall to Mr.Pw, and it could hardly fall to one
more able to take it. He is not only an able debater,
bat his exquisite command of temper renders him admi-
rably adapted for soothing the.stnrms of opposition. Mr.
Grunt is no debater, nor is Mr. Husztssos. Mr. Goole
Bunn and Mr. BLRRIRS are no speakers. The task of
supporting Mr. PM will fall principally to Lord PAL-
UTRATON. The Opposition Bench is strong in speakers.
In replying on financial questions, Mr. Tears,/ is
singularly felicitous, and his talents in dry, cutting
satire, are unmatched. Luckily, Mr. FIEL's course has
been so arniahle and consistent—he has done his minis-
tering in every office which be has successively filled, so
gently, yet so firmly, that there are very few joints in
his mail that satire can hope to pierce.. On general
questions, Mr. BROUGHAM is, perhaps, the most pow•
erful speaker in either HOW, and there are Sir F. Ulm-
DITY, Sir JAMS, MACILINTOMI, and a host of others.
