flinching from, or hesitating in my advocacy of, those principles
on which I stood in conjunction with my late deeply-lamented friend
Lord George Bentinck, I authorise you--one and all of you--to assure
those whom you represent, that in me they will find no hesitation,
no flinching, and no change of opinion; that, attached as I have
ever been to the principle of Protection, that attachment remains
unchanged; and I only look for the moment when it may be possible for
us to use the memorable words of the Duke of Wellington on the field
of Waterloo, and to say, "Up, Guards, and at them!" (Loud cheers.)
Mr PAUL FOSKETT.--My Lord Stanley, I know I speak the universal
sentiments of the delegates who have attended our meetings this
week, when I say that the address you have just delivered to
us has penetrated our heart of hearts, and has made us feel
that under your leadership our triumph is secure. (Cheers.) We
shall now return to our several homes, and "agitate," "agitate,"
"agitate," until our object is attained. (Hear, hear.)
After a few observations from Mr Newdegate, Mr Box, (of
Buckinghamshire,) and Mr Malins, (of Derbyshire,)
Mr LAYTON expressed the gratification he experienced at the
result of the interview with Lord Stanley. They might all take
comfort that they had such a leader and friend; and on the part
of the delegation and the tenantry and labourers of the land, he
begged to convey to his lordship his unqualified admiration and
thanks for the manner in which he had received the deputation,
and for the encouragement and hope he had held out to the
various suffering interests of the country. (Hear, hear.)
Lord STANLEY in taking leave of the deputation, hoped that on
their return to their several localities their efforts would be
crowned with success. They might depend upon it, that whilst
they kept up the pressure from without, if they would authorise
him, he would not fail to keep up the pressure within.
The deputation then took their leave; and upon re-assembling at
the King's Arms,
Mr LAYTON briefly reported the reception which had been given to
them by Lord Stanley; and amidst the enthusiastic cheering of
the audience, the following resolution was unanimously adopted:--
"That this meeting cannot separate without recording their
grateful acknowledgments to Lord Stanly for the courteous and
satisfactory reception he has afforded them this day, and their
high gratification at the encouraging approval he has expressed
of the steps they are taking; and they beg his lordship will
receive the assurance of their perfect confidence in his
powerful and talented advocacy of the cause of Protection in the
House of Lords.
"That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Lord Stanley."
It was also resolved,--
