We are a little surprised to find in the new
Dublin paper, the 31mi- for, a systematic misrepresentation of our qualified and conditional sup- port of Lord Durham. Here is a specimen- " The Spertatnr—(and while we write we feel all the pain of him who sat in judgment on his friend and kinsman. and gave hi, vote against him for the safety of his country)—the Spect,dor, that has so often chargtd u- in Ireland for nimjudging submission to the:will of Mr. O'Connell, recommends the Liberals of the whole empire to take as their leader, with implicit reliance on his abili- ties and integrity, a man whose services to his country, compared with those of O'Connell, mast make himselfand his advocates blush while they name them."
The Italics in the word "implicit" are those of the Dublin Monitor. We have never recommended to the Liberals of the empire " implicit reliance" on any leader. What we have said in reference to Lord Dur- ham's present and possible future position in the Liberal party, may he found in the last four numbers of the Spechuhur, and need not be re- peated. it is perfectly intelligible to all who take the trouble to read with ordinary attention and unperverted aim.
