On the subject Of this meeting the London Globe
says
The victory Gf victory it can be caled) was the
fruit OF superior activity The Intolerants worked
with the zeal OF an advocate who is conscious III at
he has bad cause, and that bis success in address
ing those who 10 decide upon il will mainly de-
pend upon preventing the OF light TO their
understandings. The Liberal party, on the other
hand, relied too implicitly the strength of their
cause, and assumed too indolenty that reason
would lind its way TO The minds OF men more con-
versant with ploughs than with polemics and
better able TO decide on the merits Of a bullock than
of an argument.
