DiSraeIi.

LONDON, Jan. 26---Rght Hon. Benz. Dis,
rac liz an address to his constituents 10 Buck
iugham, seeking reelection to Parliament
strongly condemns the course OF the govern
meut. The Premier is charged with having
violated the constitutional law, by persistiug
for several months iu the occupation Of. a seat
to which he was no longer entitled; aud the ac-
ton of the Ministry in iuaugurating the Asian
tee war without communicating with Parlla-
meut on the subject, is severely denounced.
DisrarE says he finds nothing definite in Glad
stones address regarding the policy Of the lat,
ter, except that he intends to apply large
surplus 10 the remission of taxation, which
would be the course of any ministry. The
principal measures oil relief spoken OF by Glad
stone have always bseu favored by the couser'
natives. 1t would have been far better for the
country it. within the last five years, the Tor,
eign policy of the government had been little
more energetic.
Dis,acIi characterize the argument for
the exclusion of household suffrage to the coun.
ties as faIlacious and says that no one has
more strongly opposed the contem dated asslm'
ilation Of franchise than the Premier.
