Then came the proposition of Mr. Hume, founded on a recommen- dation of Sir John Campbell, in an election speech at Edin- burgh, to stop the supplies. Mr. Hume gave formal notice of a motion to that effect, and he was encouraged to persevere in it by a considerable portion of the Liberal press, and by a very large proportion of the Liberal members of the House of Com- mons. Lord John Russell saw that the result would be the very reverse of what Mr. Hume and others had anticipated that instead o...f a majority for such a motion, there would be a considerable majority against it. He saw clearly that many Reformers would vote against it, on the ground that they were anxious to avoid everything which could be construed into a factious opposition to Sir Robert's Government ; while others would be equally adverse to it, from an apprehension MR. SPRING RICE. 109 that, if carried, it would be attended with serious conse- quences to the credit of the country. Sir Robert himself saw the matter in the same light; and hence, to use his own words, he " panted" for either motion being brought forward, as the rejection of it could not fail to be the salvation of his Government.
