MILLOM AND ITS UNIONISTS.
 
 
    In political centres, where agitators keep up a  high pressure, and in 
certain sections of the press, where editors are compelled  to cater for that 
class, who, like the Irishman, in New York, are "against the  Government every 
time" the sound of dissatisfaction is naturally to be  expected.  Throughout 
the country, however, where the Radical Press, and  the ranting agitator have 
but little influence, the feeling is one of general  satisfaction in a way that 
the nation is at present being governed.
 
This fact was plainly demonstrated at Millom, on Monday evening, when Mr.  
LEWTHWAITE, the president of the conservative Association, had the gratification 
 of making the statement, that the Unionist cause in Millom was improving,  
and in a much better state than ever it had been before. This is a condition of 
 affairs that is pretty general, where common sense and cool thought have 
full  away.
 
The recent speech, made by Mr. DUNCOMBE, M. P., at Millom, together with  
that gentleman's zeal in obtaining benefits for the town and his energy and  
industry in attending to the duties of the Parliamentary representative of the  
division altogether tend to impress the public with the idea that Mr. DUNCOMBE  
is the right man in the right place, and that under Lord SALISBURY's guidance  
the country is being safely governed.
 
As Mr. LEWTHWAITE remarked at the meeting this is a critical period in  
history of Europe, and the outcome of the war in the East might be a large  
European outbreak. To prevent such a dire calamity the people of Millom and  
elsewhere can rest assured that Lord SALISBURY's Government may be depended upon  to 
act in such a manner as to reflect honour on this great country of ours at  
home and abroad. The steady revival in trade, and the better feeling that exists  
owing to wise government is testifying even to people of Radical tendencies 
that  there is more safety and stability in the party which endeavours to build 
up  instead of demolish, and the young men of Millom and elsewhere who think 
at all  must conclude from the experiences of recent times that it is a duty 
and a  privilege to support a Conservative Government.
