To describe his conduct under three heads, it has been this: he has uniformly supported Pitt and the war; he has uniformly distinguished himself as an opponent of Parliamentary Reform, and was one of the foremost in reprobating Mr.
The latter had abandoned his Radicalism in old age, and was foolish enough to sneer at the 'cant of patriotism. 'I quite agree, said Lord John, 'with the honourable baronet that the cant of patriotism is a bad thing.
