GLADsroSE's BATTLE CRY.
Mr.. GladstoRe's election address is az follows;

The constant growth of sound opinion. testi-
fed % by the result OF a multitude Of bS-eiec-
tions, has shown that the British people now
thoroughly comprehend how irresistible are the
claims of ireland in all honor aud Justice. and
hope n settlement sia Open a direct road 10 .lle
saisfastion Of British interests long held in sus-
pense.
The government Of Ireland bv the past
parliament has utterly failed in every re-
spect, except that of enabling the Irish agri-
/ caltarist 20 improve his condition bv the at u
/ 1857, the main provisions OF which the ministry
denounced In 1856 a. immoral aud dishpnor-
able and thereby drove the people 10 the plau
of campaign and became the true authority OF
whatever dargers and hardsilips were thus pro-
duced.
Ireland. indignant at the broken pledges q
the Tory-Disi indet coalition. is moe than ever
hostile TO the methods of government OF Dublin
Castle. but calm and peaceful in reliance Wi.h
the electors of Great Britain.
The sentiments already prevailing between
the Birth and the Irish supply happy omen
of the reciprocal affection which must follow
frank confession OF home rule. sheltered by i'm
perial supremacy. Even In the two counties in
the north, where Acne alarm prevails over
calm reason, have no doubt experience will
quickly bring the population back to that sense
OF brotherhood with the rest az Ireland which,
before tic Union, SO honorably Distinguished
their fathers.
Mr.. Gladstone here reviews the government
legislation dwelling upon the imperfections in
the English. local government bill and small
holdings bill which. he says, the majority. e.
pecially the ex-ibersls. prevented the liberals
from bringing 10 a toierable standard vi eili-
cheney.
He then proceeds 70 enumerate the chief
items Of the Newcastle program. He says that
the proposed payment Of labor members q par
lament and similar measures will render labor
the greatest possible seryice b. placing il in a
condition to help itself. Regarding shorter
hours of labor. he says that much has already
been done by legislation. and voluntary arrange
ment constitutes guarantee of future progress.
but he impresses upon workers that what is
achiese is founded lpon Just appreciation u
personal liberty. with which the true strength q
the working classes is essentially allied.
The manifesto closes with these words; "In
the sixiieth year of NV public life necessarily
feel that this is the last general election at which
can expect to solicit your suiirages. Oniy a
small special share can belong 20 me in the
work which have sketched. I am sincerely
grateful for your past confidence and hunb!y
trust that have done nothing 10 forfeit it.
Even now, closely circumscxibed a. Ia the space
before me. / trust that shall still be permitted
through the Almightys bounty, 10 render for
awhile to you my imperfect, but devoted
services"
