persons seem to think. Sir Robert Peel. il is
rumored. differs from the msjoriiy Of his COL
leagues on a measure that touches the vitality
of the county: and finding himself SO siiua-

would have almost insurmounta0le difficulties

views.
Our opinion is, that dissolution Of Parlis-
meni must be the result. followed Immediately
/ By general election. In this case the nation
at large will be called upon to decide the great
question at issue. Much inconvenience 10
many parties must ensue, particularly to those
connected with railway ti.s; but we are far
/ from believing that the ine convenience Of delay
for sir or eight weeks, may not be salul,ry to
