Seríate is attracting attention in all paris of ihe nation : and it is no flattery of him to say tlmt he is rapidly rising in tlie estimation of men of all parties. He bas proved himself able to stand in that most rlifficult of all posilions - alone, as the advocate of an unpopular cause, and yet surrounded by a host of veteran and enlo-eyed opposers.
