Of dorso, the burning passages of the electionneringspaecbes of the Liberal londors are relied on to prove these syring charges, nor will they be relied on in vain. Since the doctions at Liverpool and Southwark continead the Liberal party that the constituensfer were against thora, a obeago Las come over the spirit of their dream.. Rabid ocusorial denunciation has given way to temperate language and calm judgment, and if dirt has not actually beanston,dust and ashes have been sprinkled on the head.

The point in Lord Bescorefield's manifesto, which scearts the absolute necessity for the as cendancy of the English voice in the Councils of Europa, contains neither more or less than the leading questiop of the day in reference to the whole world at large. The Premier does not mdan interference between one nation and another. nor against one or more going to war with any other or others, England has had quite enough of that sort of thing, and the days have gone, navor to retara, when the old style of diplomatic folly would be tolerated. The Premier means this that Rassin is bent de orashing Austris and Turkey to the end that she may be snpromo la the Balkan peninsula and he sible to help herself to the Bosphorus, and auth parts of the Ottomaa territory in Asia Minor as may suit her ambi tions last for aggrundinement. The Framiar! means that Russia tay go to war with when she way please, but that she must raekon with England before she appropriates the districts which it is her object to acquire by going to war This pohay haing endorsed by the British nation at large, will effectually prevent Russia from going to war ab all, because it stands to reason that eren should she be over so success. fal. against Acatria or Germany for instacoa, she will be in no condition at the end of the fight to encounter the full might of England.
