OSTRACIZATION OF LITERARY PARLIAMENT
TARY CANDIDATES.

The elections of members of Parliament in England
have unfortunately, thrown of the best the
last Parliament and brought very well disposed
in, if not for their yet in others places.
The rejection of Mr. Micauay (who il might have been
imagined sufficiently liberal for the aspirations of con-
sttuency who had previously honoed themselves than
him by eecting him to Parliament may sigma in
stance of the unregulated state of feeling which, the
excess of such popular phrenzie always developed En
ourgh poverbaly called the British Athens pity that she
has given strength the parallel by the ostraczaton
her Arstdes may she redeem herself by still further emu
laing her prototype in his recall Never has political event
caused surprise and regret than the rejection Of Ma
cauay by the people of Edinburgh, under the influence
strange cougomeraon Of party odds and ends To
throw him the sole end am and object for he
statesman to be feared by those who differed with him poll
tics An unknown man. obscure have either many en-
emes or many iends-a up by some five hundred
excise traders for particular end of their own-a very respect
able person, engaged in the business OF paper making
taken up by the combination ps aer and into Par
lament over the head Of Macaulay, the infinite shame Of
city one of whose poudes boasts for years has been that
she represented by such man.
In the farewell address he made his late constituents
ter his defeat this distinguished scholar and statesman spoke
thus
" stand before you defeated but neither degraded dis
pned Our political connexion has terminated forever "
There was great sensation when Mr. Macauay said this
and cnes OF "no no. were heard elf return, and
hope often TO return TO your city, will be solely for the
purpose OF seeing the beautiful of British cities and Of
meeting IN private intercourse of those valued friends
whose regard hope, will survive political separation
lCheers TO those who have constantly and kindly sup
ported me return my hearty thanks If there thing
to be forgotten forgiven, have forgotten and forgiven
and will carry with into private life lasting and CRATE
iu recollection Of your generous confidence, disturbed last
by causes TO which will not refer. But is my belief
that hereafter, when calmly you review the history
our connexon you will admit that least meant and en-
deavored we'll"
There consolation, however in view Of the fact that this
rejection of MacauIay by the electors Of Edinburgh will
dound to the gain Of the world, well his fame
being announced that in his retirement he is devote
himself to the task Of writing the Modern History Of England
Sir Edward Buwer Lytton, who has before been in the
House Of Commons also rejected at the polls at the late
election does not very clearly appear from the unusually
confused accounts in the English papers, how his defeat was
effected.
Mr.. Warren barrister, well known the literary world
the author Of "fhe Diary Of Physician" "Ten Thou
sand Year. and several legal works of celebrity undertook
stand for Finsbury the canvass but retired from
the contest. The noted Wakley (,he same man who de
nounced William Wordsworth no poet came out in hi,
paper the London Lancet and in address the electors
~ fIusbury useu language regarding Mr. warren OF which
the following paragraph is fair specimen
fThis Warren informs that he is on the FORK circuit
That where he gone to- looking out for the pence Of som
poor devil locked up York CASTLE foagng for some fell
low fool enough to give him brief There's not such block
head in the county Of York, can tell him. He's writer 70
the magazines he has scrubbed trash that he calls h
Diary Of late Physician. Why, if he has got any brains
why does he write for his profession, instead of talk
ing nonsense about physic. III the fellow does
know dose Of rhubab from dose Of EPSON salts He ha
also written hing-a nove-entled Ten Thousand Year
II easier TO write about ten thousand year 10 max
it, and rather think Sam Warren knows that much"
Mr. Warren, having character to lose, and some do
nestle and social associations keep up to have fol
lowed the instincts Of gentleman and retired from contcs
IN which scuty substituted for argument and persons
insolencc for political discussion.
In view OF these and other incdcntspf the late elections
England which have before called attention. We citizen
Of what British brethren soHetmes with IRONY esanat
this country, the model Republic" may take new comic
under our deprivation Of the blessings Of monarchca nsr
tons OF this at least that English example in the
fort Of regulating popular representation is by any near
such as TO claim the very emulation OF feIoyycour
