votes Of members entertaining ultra or

combined With the exception Of free trade questions
respecting which there Is great gulf fixed between the
liberal Peelites and the protectiouiss II will be

unpledged and unfettered, turning upon the great
cause Of public liberty and involving the rights OF the
people against the arstocracy, then II will appear
whether the present feeling of the protection
list party against the Peetes would survive the trial.
such question would test the integrity and consistency
Of the Peetes The present distinctions of party cannot
be OF long duration Either Sir Robert Peel, with such
