The Political Campaign in England.
LONDON, March 26.-Lord Harrington, the
Liberal leader, speaking at Padiham, Lanca-
shire, last night, pointed out in what respect
power, would differ from the present policy
He said that they would not stake the inter-
ests or honor of England on the maintenance
of the Independence and integrity of an un-
reformed Turkish government They would
not treat the relations of the Turkish govern
ment with its Christian subjects as matter of
interest only to Russia and Turkey. They
would not try to disturb the concert of Europe
If it was united as to what should be done,
they would do all in their power to promote
that concert. & ID.
The Times commenting on the above saws:
Harrington, in discussing the Eastern policy
of the government, avows that it would be the
policy of coercing Turkey at the cost, if neces-
sary, of war. The announcement of such a
policy seems to deprive the opposition speakers
of all right to denounce the government for
undertaking distant and arduous enterprises.
