The first thing ne said to me the other day when l met him in the street was, that he hoped I was a Panoptician ; and the second, that he had had a long conversation about you with Charles Fox ; so that you may see that he has formed a party for yon — has given it a name, — and is canvassing for the ablest recruits to it.
