The ''addresses of support from various bodies throughout the provinces,
and other steps taken for the public acknowledg- ment of Sir Robert Peel's services, are evidences of a just and wise feeling. It is not.less wise than just to give merit its due, especially where the merit consists in a generous abandonment of recognized cleans in order to perform a mission which is dic- tated by conscience, but which may not equally be recognized.
