If Lord Brougham, in honesty and simpleness of heart, returns
to devote to the cause of Reform his restless activity and powerful oratory, none will be more ready to welcome and praise him than ourselves. Most gladly will we allow "bygones to be bygones." But we must have evidence, in the steadiness and straightforwardness of his actions, that this is his sole purpose. If he return to pester Lord Melbourne as before, with a series of intrigues—if he only come back to tell its again what he told the honest burghers of Inverness in 1834, " My own opinion is, that we have rather done too much than too little ;" and "if we have done little in last session, I fear we shall do less in the next,"—why, then we must send for Lord Durham to keep him in order. If Lord Brougham resume his place in Parliament next session, watch him narrowly ; and, above all, watch the words and actions of his agents throughout the country.—Glasgow Argus.
