ham, on Tuesday, February 10, in the afternoon.
lie was accompanied by Sir r. Bateson Harvey,
Mr. Richardson Gardner, NJ. P. for Windsor, and
Mr. Montague Cory, his private secretary. There
was a very crowded attendance. and among those
present upon the platform and in the body of the
hall were many ladies, most OF whom wore the
conservative coiors.
The Hon. Percy Darlington was in the chair.
Mr.. DIsRAELI upon rising was greeted with loud
and continued cheers. He said
ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF BUCKINGHAA-I
was very much honored and grati1ed at hearing
that you wished 10 me before the election took
place OF your representative. This was on your
part natural feeling and can assure you on
my own 1t was always my intention, before the
general election took place which we have
been anticipating now Tor some time, to visit
the principal towns of the county, and to
communicate freely with my constituents. came
TO that resolution IN consequence OF the change
which took place under recent act, which ter
minated the existence OF nomination days / did
not myself agree with the measure for terminal
lag nomination days. think for nomination days
much may be urged in their favor. In this county,
at our county hail. at elections men or different
opinions attended, and from all parts Of the coun-
nv on the day of nomination. | am bound to
say having had a toerably long experience Of
these days, that the general result was one, l
thlnk satisfactory to both sides. There was tull
communication OF the opinion of the country so
assembled and represented in all its parts. l am
told the nomination DAYS were scenes always OF
turmoil and OF turbulence. can only say myself
that nave met the assembled county, fairly rep
resenting all parties IN IL, and that l was always
treated with respect ana listened to with at

therefore, regret the termination of those
days. 1t is very hard case for many
characters who those occasions came forward
and represented the various moods and humors
OF the country. With our septennial Parliaments
he had seven years to prepare his jokes, and 1t
seems very hard that ne should lose such an op-
portunlty OF visiting his sharp shafts upon his
representative. (''Hear, hearV1 However, gentle
men, the result has been that all we can do now,
in order TO meet our constituents before general
election, TO visit different districts OF the
try, and place ourselves in communication with
our constituents; but the fact is, gentlemen, the
present dissolution mas been sudden and the
whole oil the arrangements have been so pressed,
that 1t has been impossible to make those arrange
ments on our side wnch would nave been deslra-

myself-Qaughter and cheersl-it does appear 10
me that the third conservative has not as much
chance as perhaps he might wish in the county Of
buckingham. tLaughter.) Weil gentlemen, am
told that when this ingenious candidate was pre-
seated to you ne said that, although a conserva-
tive candidate, he depended mainly upon liberal
support lLaughter.) Well, now, gentlemen,
really do think that II the liberal party, IN mo
ment OF amiabe generosity, are anxious 10 vote

ceive that support from them. (.Hear, hear,n and

Now. gentlemen, DO not come here TO make
political speech, or political manifesto. NV views
have been freely placed before the country, and
there many reasons which deter me from Oh
truding them on public attention; but, cannot
meet my cOnstitueDts--who have cOnfided TO ME

years, and who, trust are going to continue
their confdence-I cannot, or course, meet them
without adverting in some degree to political
affairs. said that the general election was viz
tually over, and must say the conclusion of it,
without any reference to party interests or party
triumphs is one very satisfactory to myself; and,
think, on reflection, 1t VIII be so 10 you:
{CaeersJ In this general election for example,
have seen nothing OF the hostility between capital
and labor which mas been dinned into one's ears
Tor a considerable time past by demag0gues, as
probably being the OF the future destruction
OF this country. On the contrary, taking gen.
eral view, have seen a very good understanding
between the employers and the employed, and the
employed generally have elected for their repre-

general adaptablty TOR the position which
they sought. There have been instances where
the workingmen OF this country have elected men
OF their own order TO represent them, and,
80 far as can Judge the instances are rare. Those
instances have been selected with great dis
erection. The member FOR Stafford believe per-
fectly qualified to fulfil the public duties which
await him. He is not UNKNOWN to the members Of
the late Parlamen I, because ne gave his evidence

ton, the results OF his own experience, in a man
ner which showed he was a person perfectly
worthy OF the position which he has attain ed.
Again, in distant county, the member for Nor
peth. do not know personally so much OF him as
OF the gentleman to whom have adverted but
believe, from what have heard, that ne Is man
entitled TO the post which he occupies. But all
sham workingmen's candidates, all the trade
