It will, I know, be accepted, but it will derive its chief value from being the certain means of extorting fresh concessions, all of which might now be named, and none of them, I am persuaded, will be long withheld, notwithstanding the new pledges of those who have so nobly redeemed their old ones. I say, Sir, the present is the worst of all the times in which the measure has been hitherto proposed, for granting this Bill of Relief, as it is called. If it be a measure just in itself, and safe i...n its consequences, it ought to have been granted from the first ; and, 1 repeat, Ministers are deeply responsible for not conceding sooner, if they meant to surrender at all. " Aye, but we are now told that there was previously a divided cabinet on this particular measure, and that it could not, there- fore, be carried. Here, however, the reply is still plainer and more forcible. Never was there so superficial an excuse put forth. Divided cabinet !
