represented BY man who had shown the possibility OF
reconcilng interests apparently the most adverse, and
uniting classes habitually the most jealous, And such
man has been found in the peaceful agltator OF free
trade Mr. Cobden at present an absentee OF some stand
ing re elected for Stockport without canvass pro-
posed for the West Riding without his consent Honor to
the hero OF tranquil revolution may have been one OBJ
ec in the minds OF the constituency but another and
that the predominant one, doubtless was thorough and
enthusiastic devotion TO the principles which owed Their
popularity TO his unadoned eoquence" Yorkshire can
not afford to have its opinions misunderstood or mlsrep
resented.
While Mr. Golden is proposed without his consent at

stiuences free and speak out their appo9auon
of " the great and comprehensive measure which dis,

Nor is this an unmporant inconsequental matter:
1t is sign of the times. 1t shows that men have studied

the undipomatized but unacknowledged nternuncio

zeal and devotion for principles which are as yet only
beginning to CLEAN the rugged Alps and the Pyre
nees OF continental protection.
