BRIGHT'S MANIFESTO.
John Bright has issued the following
manifesto TO the electors of Central Bir-
mingham:
Misunderstanding you for having
elected me in November last, l am now most
Unexpectedly forced to again address you q.
Since November a single question has Oecu-
pied the attention of the House OF Comm ons
and the country. It relates to the future gov
which were thrust upon Parliament and the
country by the government. One of those
bills was rejected and the other WaJ with
drawn. We are not told by Mr.. Gladstone or
by his colleagues how much or how little OF
those unfortunate proposals VIII reappear
in the next Parliament. We are asked To
pledge ourselves to a principle which may
be innocent or most dangerous as may he eX-
planned in future bulls. l cannot give such a
pledge. The experience of the last three
months has not increased my confidence in
the wisdom of the administration or in Its
policy respecting the future government Of
Ireland. We have before US a principle
which Mr. Gladstone and his supporters do
not explain. l will not pledge myself to what
1 do not understand aud cannot prove.
DANGER IN TWO ASSEMBLIES.
2 In 1872 wrote letter 20 an irish GENTLE
mau from which L extract these short SEN
tences: ITO have two legislative assemblies
in the United Kingdom would work intolera-
BILE mischief. No sensible man can wish for
two such assemblies who does not wish that
the kingdom shall become two or more ma
lions, entirely separate from each other" /
still adhere to the opinion, If possible more
firmly than before. / do not oppose the
views OF the government on account
of England more than on account OF Ireland.
No Irish Parliament can be so powerful
or Just as the united imperial Parliament at
Westminster. cannot trust the peace and in
terests of ireland, north and south, to the Irish
parliamentary party to whom the govern
ment now proposes to make a general surren-
der, MY SIX years experience OF them and
their language in the House OF Commons and
their deeds in Ireland makes IL impossible for
me TO hand over TO them the industry, pros
perity ndrights Of 100000 of the Queens sub
iects Our countrymen In Ireland-leastways
two mill Ons-are as loyal as the people of
birmingham. / will be no party TO measure
thrusting them from the generosity and JUS
tice OF the united imperial Parliament.
has written so that nobody may be ignorant
of my views. Ny vote in the recent division
have given great grief, but my judgment and
conscience mado any other course impossible.
For forty years have been friend or Ire
land, for long time before any Paruellite
now in Parliament or any member OF the
present government opened his lips TO Oppo e
and condemn the wrongs OF Ireland. spoke
for her people in the House Of Commons and
on the public platforms, 1t 10 because / am
still a friend OF ireland that | refuse TO give
her up to those to whom the recently defeated
bill would hage subjected her. IL you re-e ect
me shall 20 the utmost Of my capacity seek
only what conceive to be for the permanent
and true welfare OF our country. Sincerely =
and gratefully thanking you for your past
kindness, remain JOHN BRIGHT.
