fairs having been reelected for the borough of
Kings Lynn, presented himself before his conBtitu-
ents on the llth ult., and made lengthy speech
After abiding to the reform question, he made the
following important statement in regard to the
foreign policy of Great Britain
Now, gentlemen, do not know that should
have troubled you further had it not been for that
old charge alluded to two days ago by Lord Derby
in the House Of Lords-a charge utterly abandoned
but perpetually reproduced-that conservative
government is disposed to involve England in war.
have never understood on what historical basis
the assertion rests.
Only one European war has taken place in the
last fifty years in which England has taken an
active part, That is the against Russia; and
that war was made and carried on, not by CON
seryatiye ministry, but by two successive liberal
administrations. 1t is going back a very long way
to refer to the wars Of Pitt in 1882. cloud
iaughter) have heard it said that ii Lord Derby
had continued in power in 1850, at the time the
Italian war broke ont, you would have been
involved in a war with France. / was member
of the government of Lord Derby, and can say
with perfect confidence that the very last idea
that entered into tue mind of the cabinet was the
idea of quarrel or misunderstanding with France.
(Hoar, hear.1 Again, have heard it said by my
impatient friend down there daughter that the
conservatives dislike the United States; that they
dislike republican institutions, and they sympa
thzed with the Confederates against the Northern
States, and that if they had been in power during
the An erican civil war they would have recog
nizcd the South and encouraged them actively IN
their quarrel.
do not stand here to deny that a great many
foolish things have been said in the House and out
of The House relative to that civil war but I'M
luckily, as many of these foolish remarks nave
been made by distinguished liberals as by their
opponents. When Lord RUSSELL at the time for
eign secretary, told the country that the North
was fighting for empire and the South for indepen
dence; and when Mr.. Gladstone, then the leader
of the House of Commons, used the celebrated
phrase about the Southern President having not
only created an army and navy, bat created
nation when, the other hand You recOeCt
that neither the leader of the conservative party
in the House of Commons nor ] myself shave never
used one phrase throwing feeling in favor of
either side in that quarrel the other, because
we thought it inconsistent with our duty SO to do
/ say. when you bear these facts in mind it seems
to me little cool, TO use no stronger term to as
sumo that liberals alone were capable of conduct
ing affairs with the American government at that
crisis and that different and less prudent course
would have been taken by the conservative party
had they been in power.
In point Of fact, have no doubt whatever that
if any proposal for the recognition Of the South in
the quarrel had been made in Parliament, that pro-
posai would have been rejected, not merely by an
immense majority of the House Of Commons, but
by a large majority of the conservative party
itself (Gheersl Indeed, If the matter required
serious argument one might ask What can the
landed and wealthy classes of the country have to
gain by war?'i Is it their interest that the ma
tonal debt should be increased (Hear, hear.) Is
it their interest that the taxes should be heavier
(Hear, hear) Is 1t their interest that the demands
of war should increase, and that labor should be
come dearer? (Hear, hear.) War has its chan
