censure and contempt. Treated as Mr.n Napierr had
been, he thought the house would sympathise with him.
Still he was of opinion that Mr. Napier had been overcome
by a- surplusage of sensibility, and that he would have
done n-ell, before he had made this appeal, to have asked
the opinions of his friends, Had he asked his opinion, he
(Mr. Disraeli) would have earnestly dissuaded him from
this course; and, if he had put to him that the Govern-
ment was one made of squeezable tnaterials, obliged among
themselves to make each other withdraw bills in violation
of solemn pledges, and that, without a coalition Cabinet,
business could not be carried on without mutual perfidy,
Mr. Napier would have hesitated before he made this
appeal to the country.
Lord J. RUSSELL upbraided Mr. Disraeli with departing
from the direct and straightforward course of bringing
the question as to the title of the Government to the con-
fidence of the house to the issue of a vote, and lying in
wait for stray motions upon which he might hope to put
them' in a minority. This was a conduct, he observed,
somewhat new to him, because he had been opposed by
leaders of parties who had never adopted such a course,
and he now called on the right hon. gentleman, if he
thought he could succeed in a rote of want of confidence,
to take that course, and he would be prepared to meet him.
Mr. DISILLELI rose to disclaim any necessity of seeking
out the Government in a minority, the principal duty

been to require some leading independent member, who
supported Government, to bring the question of confidence
to a formal: issue, and this was the course which he
called on Lord John Russell to adopt. He concluded with
