SIR JAMES GRAHAM.

(Fro. the Dublin Ecening
Ministers chuckled for a season over the exclusion of
Sir James Graham from the House of Commons, but
they will not enjoy their triumph long. We publish
this evening the address of the right honourable baronet
to tlo boro':zhs of Pembroke, T,:triby, Weston, and Mil-,
ford, (a. nut ou,) racantlw the resignation of Col. Owen,.
from %hie!): it trill be seen that we mac calculate on seemg -,
".bonnie Sir Jamie" in his place in the house, be. '
fore. Lent; near as it is—and seathing with the flashei'.of,
hiS indignant eloquence that. Upit tree (if auadruinis-.
tration which now sits brooding evil.over the face of the
country. Str James's political creed,is briefly and beau-
tiffi'llY summed tip by himself in the fiAlor.ing lines of
his address:7—"'From my votlll I have been the sincere
friend of civil and religious ; but
the only liberty I i»eun--is.a liberty connected with-or
der; and order, and peace, and religion, and security of
life and property, are, I am persuaded., in this country
identiqed'lyitli the maintenance of the rural prerogative,
of the pri, lieges of the House of Commons and the
House of Lords, and of the .Established Church in con-
nexion with the State.".:

Those-are noble sentiments: they are the 'sentiments
,
of every conservative in the: empire. We hare reaSpn
to blieve them the sentiments of that constituency to
which Sic James appeals ; and we rejoice to find, that the
country is about to reap the advantaae of the advocacy
of a statesman so-able to maintain and enforce them.
We subjoin the address :-
TO.THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGHS OF PEMBROKE, TENBY,
WESTON, AND MILFORD.
",Genilemen,—Mv friend Col. Osten having vacated his seat,
for reasons which lie has stated to von, but on which I cannot
dwell, since they are too flattering 1 venture to offer
self as a candidate for the h4:ti honour of representing you in
parliament. When the ministers of the Queen are in close al-
liance With 'radicals and repealers, it is itide'ed necessary that
.the friends or. eons,ervatiVe policy, of the form of govirommeilt
under which it is our happiness to live, ',nit 'of the protestant
institrit;ons of the uniteilking.dorn,,shonldcooil,ioe and rorrlia,liy
Co-0 pv r;:1,!, Without regarrt past difTe'rences aril distinctions.
The promi,es of united support, rerstiligiti these puhtic
which I have already received in •pour neiglihotirhood, lead 'die
to believe that these principles predominate among,-nu os'er
every other consideration, and it is oh these principles alone
that I preswre to present myself to our notice.'
My public *conduct is not,unknown to wait, and from past
official connection with yrorr local interests 1 ain nit personally
a stranger. In the present crisis of public affairs, I an:
willing. to remain excluded from parliament,gestl-Shoold ap-
pear toshrink from the responsibility of the part'whieh I'have
already taken; and l'shall gladly owe to your favourthe oppbr-
tuuity of rejoining thit great conservative party in the'llouSe
of Commons with vt hit+ verur late 'member was united,' and
which, while it sanctions the reform of every proved abuse, is
opposed to, revolutionary change, and to further democratic
intimation.

" b rout my youth I have been the sincere friend of civil and
religious liberty; but the libetty—the only liberty I -is- a
liberty-connected with order; and order, and pace, and reli-
gion":and 'security-Of life and'pronerty, are, lam persuaded,
m this country identified with the maintenance or tke royal pre-
rogative, of the privileges of the House of Cerrtimms and the
• House of Lords, and of the establi4hed church ma'connekion
with the state. If you send me your repfesentatite to parlia-
ment, there are the principles which will guide my conduct;
and with' regard to the peculiar Ail Ideal interests ofyour bo-
longis, gratitude will command my best httenlinti, and duty
impel me to promote them to the nithostor my Power, consist-
entiv with the general interests of the"united kitrgilom.
"I have the honour to he, gentlemen, your obedient servant,
"JAMES R. GRAILINI.
