Furthermore, the gazette AYERS that the

Mr. BRIGHT On Parliament.

In a recent letter to a reform meeting, held
at Birmingham, that demsgogue and agitatOr,
Mr.. JOHN BR1GHT, thus speaks of the British
Parliament: PARLIAMENT is never hearty for
90 reform or for any good measure. 1t hated
90 the reform bill of 1881 and 1882. 1t docs not
" like the franchise bill now upon its table. 1t
q is, to large extent, the offspring of landlord
50 power in the counties, and of tumult and
. corruption in the boroughs and it would be
q strange if such Parliament were in favor of
&c freedom and of an honest representation of
&c the people," Of the party opposed to the
reform bill, Mr.. BRIGHT says: 81 think a
90 more dirty conspiracy has not been seen in
" the House Of Commons during many genera
&c tons. 1t is directed against this bill, and
&c not less against Lord RUSSELL, by whom the
" liberal and popular policy Of the Govern
" ment has been determined" He thus in
vOkes mob violence as a means of intimidating
the opposition elf Parliament street, from
q" Charing Cross to the venerable Abbey, were
" filed with men seeking a reform bill, as it
80 was two years ago with men come to do hon.
&" or to an illustriOus Italian, these slanderers
d" of their countrymen would learn to be civil
g" if they did not learn to love freedOm."-
When Mr.. BRIGHT talks so glibly about the
enfranchisement of the oppressed" and calls
upon the people to set apart a day for ga firm
" assertion oftheir rights in great meetings or
{" in one vast gathering" and thus " beat down,
" as with one blow, the power that threatens
&" to bolt the door of Parliament against the
" people," we can almost imagine that it is
CHARLES SUMNER appealing to the negroes and
his fellow Radicals. They use the same catch
phrases, and resort to the same means of agi-
tation. 1t was from BRIGHT, that curse of this
age, that the American Radicals caught the
fell spirit that has led to their excuses. With,
perhaps, twenty years of mischief still in him,
he will be the pest of the next generation of
Englishmen and Americans, as he has been of
the present.

commencing in 1867 and ending 1873, are
Mr.. Sherman, of Ohio, and Mr.. Cole, of Cali

Mr.. Foster is in doubt. The successorship of

are candidates. Mr.. Trumbun will have an
exciting contest. General Logan, Governor
Oglesby, Mr.. Washburne, General Palmer and
others are candidates. Mr.. Lane, OF Indiana,
is not a candidate for reelection If the Re
pubhcans are successful next fall, Governor
Morton will be elected. If the Democrats car

aid, whom Morton beat for Governor two years
