DAVID 110DGSON,-ESQ., AND HIS .RADICA
POPISH DETRACTORS.

We are happy to find that the unflinching integrity dis-
played by Mr. David Hodgson, and the honest support by
which those efforts, on a recent occasion, were niet by his
fellow conservatives in the council. The following resolution
adopted at a meeting of the committee of the Toxteth.parlc
Protestant Operative Association must be highly gratifying
to that gentleman and the conservative councillors generally,
as indee it has been well and hardly earned :

chat this meeting regards with deep interest
proceedings of the Town Council with especial reference
to the education question, and be,, to express -their high ad-
miration of the conduct of DavieHodgson, Esq., and here-
by beg to tender him and those who supported him their most
sincere thanks, and pray that. God may always support and
defend them against the vile abuse and malignant attacks of
the enemies of our Protestant principles.

" Resolved,—

In connexion with the debate in question, we may revert
to an insulting remark applied to Mr. Hodgson in the
,Coun-
cil, by Mr: Alderman Evans, to the effect that Mr. Hodgson
dared not make use of certain language to him " out of that
place." If has, we understand, been made a subject of
some chuckling by the radical faction, that this significant
hint of pistols and daggers was not at once taken notice of
by Mr. Hodgson in a -fighting. spirit, If we are not mis-
taken, however, the reply of Mr. llodgson, which was not
loud enough to be heard accurately by the reporters, was
perfectly satisfactory to his assailant, with respect to
the reason why no provocation could induce him to
notice the irascible a.dermau " out of doors." As the
admirers of the latter gentleman have not the advantage of
knowing what was the reason alleged, we favour them wit
the reply of Mr. Hodgson which• •

I utter

what. ;oho voce, was rievertheless r;Cro7t upon either the
Alderman or ourselves. It was to the effect that Mr. Hodg-
son " was not likely to notice Mr. Evans elsewhere as a
reminiscence not very gratifying to that gentleman's self-
complacency or manners would suggest to him. He had been
guilty in times past of an obset vation personal to himself and,
—entirely unprovoked and wholly uncalled for ;--so low,
gross and ungentlemanly as, whilst it made him ashamed of
being acquainted with any one capable of it, taught him
studiously to avoid future communication." Perhaps Mr.
Alderman Evans, indiscreet Friends will be satisfied with
the explanation. Their idol was satisfied on the spot.
