The result of the elections IS thus summed " by
the Morning HYeh, government organ
We have gwen our readers, from time to time,
the best view that il wac il power to give Of the
progress and actual results Of the elections. But
those who, in clubs and reading rooms, are ir the
habit of seeing various daily journals viii have cb
served some disag5eements among them on these
subjects. The liberal journals" as they are
called, viii not admit, if they can help il, that
q majority Of the members returned ara not
unfavorable, to use the mildest phrase, to Lord
Derby's government. They endeayor to obscure n
very ploln question, by making class Of what they
call free traders, under which class they embrace
alike Mr. Golden and Mr.. Denison, lord John Rus
sell and Mr.. Masterman. And thus, by a very
transparent device, they coutrFe to perplex very
simple issue-whether there will, will not, be p
majority against Lord Derby. The only way Of
dealing with these statements is, by coming to close
quarters. Let rs take, then, the summary OF the
only wing daily journal. which sums up the whole
matter in the. following way.
The fnai result may be expected as follows -:
Free TRADERS and liberals. .................. 329
4lnisteraists. ...'....'....''''.. .'....'. ~
Doubtful -. ........a... 80
Now first, let Us observe, that this last class,
Of :" doubtful, consists almost wholly of men about
whom there il no doubt whatever. Some of the
best supporters Of Lord Derby comprised in this
list. Those members of the house who are really
" doubtful" ore al appropriated to the 8 free
traders" class. Thus, in fact, the three classes
from the best wing authority, viii stand thus
Free traders and liberals. 329

One obvious remark TO be made on this division
is this The Irish returns 10 ministeriasts and
62 oppositoniss. Deducting these, the results
from Great Britain viii be -

Let it be remembered that we are merely using
the figures Of whig journalist But even whig
"a yprtiip If
Great Britain, on the question of confidence, is in
favor Of Lord Derby s government. But now let Us
lock little closer, and shall find that the facts
favorable than our wing friend liked 10 a5
init. Under his column Of .'free traders and
liberals he sets down these names
Sir b. Dering. Kent; Mr.. Heathcote, Boston; Mr..
West, Denbigh; Mr., Tolemache (read Lord
Grahaml, Grantbam; Sir R. Ferguson, London
derry: Mr., DraX, Wareham; Sir @. Heathcote, Rut-
land: blr Denison, Yorkshire; and also. Mr.. Tom
line, Shrewsbury; Lord Jermyn, Bury; Mr.. ACourt,
Wilton; Mr., Talbot, GlamoIgan; Lord H. yane,
Durham; Mr. LANG, Wick, &c.
Nov the first eight were returned as supporters Of
Lord Derby Most Of them stated thisin the painest
Who Of 81 ps SS xSS a. se
late elections, uttered not word Of opposition to
Lord Derby
These fourteen votes ought to be taken from the
" free traders and liberals column, and eight Of
them ought 10 be added to the ministerial. This
would make the whole return for Great Britain

Now, object Of a general election, or ut least
one result which inevitably follows, is this-to give
the public general idea Of the estimation in which
the government is held. IL the present case the
question has been put to the country, and the YER
dict is in favor Of Lord Derby. There is another
way Of testing the same queston-nainely, by OBJ
serving how the leading men, the official men, on
both sides have been received and treated by the
ID
plainly on this point, Three parties, the wings,
the Peelites, and the members Of the present 90.
