Mr. Lams, in the absence of Mr. Junes Burdett, then
stepped foto ard. Ile observed, that the state of the

alontlav was a favourable day for his opponent. He
ad beets reproached un account of what he had said in

fir meant nothito,e disrespectful when he said that nei-

/Vbitbreati's success, he could not arco ttttt iodate him in
the manner which Mr. Hobhouse seemed to expect. Be-
tides, by his untimely resignation, he would prevent the
manifestation of that spirit amongst the electors, the
operation of which was to place Mr. Hohlionse in so tri-
umphant an attitude at the dose of the contest. He had
Levu c:larged with inconsistency in his expressions re-
. puling the character of Sit I. Borden. He would
meet the charge by a specific denial. But how could
Mr. llohliouse himself deny a charge of a similar incon-
r:.stency with regard to the Whigs. At the last election
that tireless in had heaped upon them the utmost re-
proaches. Bit at the present election the tone was quite
altered. Those Whigs who were lately so vilely- stigma-
tised, were upon this occasion presented to thepitbhc as
worthy of approbatiou, and he might with justice sac.

disdrited but himself. This reformation of sentiment
