The Emperor Of Austria had endeavored to make the
constitution Of that country hearty like that Of Eng
land As possible he had made House of Lords
'use OF Commons and had gone beyond our con-
SllJulon, ne he'd distinct
constitutional ana muscrai 5orcfnttet; and when
WAS said that the Emperor OF Austria had only Welded 10
pressure, he (Mr. Roebuck) knew what yielded to
when we gave Catholic Emancipation. He recollected
that fierce demaggue OConncl dccianirg against the
Union and what said our great that occasion the
Duke Of Wellington? clear, hear He said-'l will
not face civil war, because l know the mscrcs which
granted, and has been acted upon and you
united people? (iiear, hear) Again, who made the
arstocracy give up the corn laws. Why, Mr..
Golden made u proposition to the landed interests
or the country, and he dragged from tho hands Of
Sir X Peel the emancipation Of the country from
the dominion Of the laws. (Apparsc. This also
bad been acted upon, and should be said that the
Emperor of Austria taught wisdom by Solierino,
about to go from his word after having given
toh TO his people Looking to the past then looking
the future, and looking to ourselves, out to believe
that he an honest and wise man would act up
ms word, which he had not only said, but printed.
