"a conciliatory course TO work reconciement,"
according to Lord Brougham :" must be accompa
MED not only by concillatory acts towards your OPP
ponents, but also by no lack OF good faith towards
your own friends for if in losing your own natu-
raj supporters, you do not conciliate your foes,
what is the result? If you gain both, II is well;
but if you lose your friend by your conciliatory
practices, you turn him, in all probability, into
foe, and make your former foe despise and con-
denim you.n Now, in order especially to concil-

In adverting to the debate in the House Of Lords
on Tuesday last, it is impossible not to congratu-
late their lordships upon the appearance once more
amongst them of a noble and learned lord, whose
manly and energetic remonstrance against the
enactment of the Canadian Legislature exhibited
no sign of mental decay-no evidence of the natu-
raj effect of honorable age. In his 18th year, Lord
| Lyndhurst indicates the cause of the loyal, and

quent and fervid tones with which il was our
| delight to listen TO him when he formed one-not
| the least onspicuous-ornament of compact and
noble army, combined for the great and chivalrous
| purpose of maintaining the legitimate authority of
the crown-the integrity of our valued Institutions,
| and the true Liberties OF united and still pros
porous people--when he struggled not unsuccess-
| fully TO expose the weakness and to denounce the
wickedness of faction who, not reverencing the
mighty achievements of their ancestors, cared as
| little for the requirements of posterity, and lived
only with the object of providing for their own
paltry exgencies in the present Ii is impossible
10 hear again the denunciations Of the EXCHANGED
lor, and not TO become deeply sensible Of the fact
that, but for the rupture of the great Conservative
party, brought about by his immediate friends, the
scandal which evoked his indignant remonstrance
would never have been perpetrated, and the hu-
initiation after humiliation 10 which the throne
and the country have of late equally been doomed

feet upon the consequences Of act, IN deplorlng
which do not stand alone. Lord Lyndhurst
afhrms that he presented himself 10 the House of
Lords with reluctance on Tuesday, and that in all
probability, he then addressed th'r lordships for
the last time. We trust that such will not be the
case. Although divided from many who formerly
voted upon all questions with him, cannot but
believe that, whenever the dignity of the crown
and the honor Of his country IN question, Lord
Lyndhurst will still give his voice and vote 10 those
who are inspired by love Of their native land,
when they resolve To take step that shall, IN any
way, detract from her greatness.
