There can be no doubt that the meeting of working men last evening in reference to Mr. Wakefield's conduct was a mistake. Not that there was not very good cause for the indignation expressed, but it was a wrong step to elevate into the utterances of a statesman the babbling of a man who has neither respect for his position nor the common sense or discretion of a schoolboy. Mr. Quick put the matter before the meeting very tersely, and it was a pity his remarks were not listened to with more attention. Upstarts of the Wakefield stamp are but encouraged when notice is taken of them.
