Memoir of the Chisholm

CHAPTER XIII.
PROPOSES THE MASTER OF GRANT.— HIS PEELINGS TOWARDS
THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND, — AND THE CHURCH OF ROME.
The Chisholm was now most anxious that the
important public interests, which he had en-
deavoured to support, shouid not suffer from
the resignation, which he had been compelled
to make, of his seat in Parliament. As soon
therefore as he was able to leave London, he
hastened to his native county, and made
every exertion in his power to secure, as its
representative, the return of one who, he
was well assured, would pursue a line of con-
duct in perfect accordance with those prin-
ciples which had made himself twice trium-
phant. Nor was he disappointed in this effort ;
for the Master of Grant, whom he proposed as
his successor, was elected without opposition.
