DLrEAT OF GEoRGE THOMPSON. =

DLrEAT OF GEoRGE THOMPSON
Americans are not apt to take special
1T res, in the local politics Of Grea,
Britain, or the success oi individual
candidates at general election but
we DO not doubt that many will rejoice
at The deirat OF George Thompson, the
late member for the Tower Hamlets.
The ground Of his defeat is plainly
stated to be his desertion of his post for
an entire session Will he was endea-
voring to get up a seditlous agitation IN
the United States. Better renson could
no, bc given and VIC rejoice that the
English voters have seer f, TO rebuke
such conduct and elect new man in
the place thus dishor ored. II any good
could have been done by George
Thompson on his American mission, we
could have excused it in measure.
But il was, rs all sober-Ininded men
Predicted, a complete failure. He added
no, one to the ranks OF the Aboli,lonsts,
aud he loosened moi shackel from the
Southern slaves. The most that he
did was to stir up several riotous scenes
IN New England, and 10 cxasperate the
S uth.rn Shareholders, while not a
convert 10 bis Cause MAS made, that we
have ever heard of. lIs English con.
sliiueucy have, no doubt, the same
views Oh American slavery that he has,
hut they have determined not to tolerate
his dcserton Of home du:ics for the sake
OF work SO entirely out ct his sphere
and so ,rnlitss oi erylh.rg hut bad
irelmg and disorder. Our only tear
now is that George Thompson, exM.
p, being relieved OF lis Parliamentary
duties, may see fit TO come again TO this
country, aud enjoy he small glorl6ca-
ton from certain quarters that was be-
slowed upon him during his last visit.
We ART much better oil iilout such a
citizen as he woud make Phil Buiie-
