But the odium for tho proroga-t-ion.of Parliament.-docs, not rest with : iha Prime Minister, but upon- each and every member of the. .45 who supported, the proposal. ''■ They represent tens: of thousands of' electors, and surely they will' not bo able to. satisfy, tlieir. eoustituemts.. for thoir action.
