Elections-Reported Resignation of

LONDON, February THE Daily Tele-
graph says: 1.-The opinion of the country
has been pronounced. and it is strongly adj
verse to Gladstone. He will comply with
the decision, as he is bound to do, and
Will follow the constitutional precedent
set by Peel, Melbourne and others under
similar circumstances. They met Par
hament With a royal speech
and either resigned therefrom, or
submitted to formal defeat. Not only is
the field lost, but it is lost most decisively.
The result is to be attributed to Mr..
Bruce's unpopular licensing act; the divi-
sion OF the liberal party on side issues,
such as the education act, female suffrage,
the permission bill, &C.; the deep and not
unnatural displeasure at the violent Ian
guage against society used by the supports
ers of the workingmen's candidates, and
lastly, the want of tact and sympathy
shown BY several members OF the admin

LONDON, February 1.-THE Post saws
1.-The plumbers of the government has been
far more than average. It's exercise of
power has been as absolute as it has been
indiscreet. " is immaterial whether the
adverse results of the elections are due to
the dissatisfaction of the country at the
past or the uncertainty regarding the policy
OF the government in the future.u ~
The Times says: sit is now evident
tnat the country has returned an adverse
answer to Gladstone's appeal. The cleo
tons in Ireland may show unlock ed for
results, but nothing is likely to restore the
losses OF the Liberals in Great Britain.

The mission OF the republican party is therefore

men who sympathized, more or less with tn e
Old federaiists, but also men who were originally
democrats, bnt who were induced by their oppo
