Yesterday one of the most numerous meetings we hove ever witnessed at Guildhall, rock place for the purpose of fleeting a Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. The Recoeorat and Cosmos Senn tor having explained the object of the kleeting, and the usual formalities being gone thr-sah, Mr. Htrc u uss stood Coward to prf•prisc , the re-no min itam r.f Om present Lord Mayor with Aislermax Go , dh..here, and the moment his purpose was under stforf, it was hailed with ardent, general, and long continued acclamation. Mr. Harmon then oh. ' served, that he did, not feel it n..cestary to recur to the election which took place last year. For the cir enmstances and the result of that election could not be unLnown to those whom he had the honour to ad dress. and t!,rott.di whose exertions that important result was attained. But who could, on that occa sion, have anticipated the events which had since tic cu. red, and which were of so much moment to this city—ta the country at large, and to the world—who could have anticipated the various misconduct of the Govarnmeet, or that such dark and diabolical trans actinos would have taken place—that liberty itsidf would have been immolated to gratify the thirst for power and oppression w!,ich marked the character cf Ministers, at once the most imbecile and arbitrary that ever afflicted this, or perliaps any other civilizA I nation—(Loud plaudits. mixed with some hisses.)-- He bad, indeed, no hesitation in saying, that through the machinations of tlio-ie Ministers this country was subjected to an absolute despotism—(Applauses, with some cries of Off, off, off 1 no politics").— That the admirers and retainers of Administration should not like the word despotism, however much Viey valued the power which that despotism caider. red upon their patrons, was a thing perfectly natural, because they were well aware that despotism must revolt* the feelings of Englishmen. Therefore the ad vacates of Government disliked a charge which they' must know to be just, lest the repetition and prof:ill of that charge should lead to consequences to them unpleasant ; and perhaps the appiehension was nut altogether groundless—(Applauses, with some hisses) Perhaps the people would yet universally feel their condition, and that the restoration of freedom was nearer at hand than Ministerial tools would wish to believe. Such, indeed, was his hope and calculation, for the country was so situated that it was quite im possible the people of England would shrink from any necessary struggle to recover their Constitution, sinless they had utterly lost the spirit and the judg ment which distinguished their ancestors. For there was a maxim in politics always held so sacred in England,- that even the admirers of Ministers could not refuse to recognize its force, namely, salus /ha sultrvasa lag, that is, that the health or welfare of **people was the supreme law. But how was this maxim consulted by those who took immense sums out of the pockets of the people, to supply the es travagance of the Court, and yet such was notori ously the case in every arbitrary monarchy ? The monarchy of this country was no doubt nominal, and professedly limited, but it was obvious that through the corruption of those who called themselves the Representatives of the People, seconded, in some de gree, by the apathy of the people themselves, that monarchy had become as arbitrary and as corrupt as any in Europe—(Applauses, mixed with cries of " Off, off, nff l").—He appealed to candour, to common sense, and to the evidence of history, whe ther any Government on earth, however armed with the engine of arbitrary power, had ever drained so much money from its unfortunate subjects as that of Great Britain had done within the last fifty years. Yet all this money was squandered in profligacy and war-ain undermining the civil rights and moral prin ciples of our own people, or in overturning the berty and independence of other nations—( A pplauses, with some hisses).—Was it possible that such profu sion and criminality could be viewed without indig. nation by any but those vultures who fattened upon the blood of the people--(Applauses, with cries of ' 4e Question, question").—Here The Sheriff (Dmartom) called the speaker to or der, observing, that that Gentleman was wandering from the question, as the Meeting was assembled to elect a fit and proper person to serve the office of ' Lord Mayor, and not to enter into political discus sions. He therefore thought that on such an occasion there ought to be no allusion to politics—( Hisses and cries of No partiality," with some plaudits.) Mr. HITCHINS resumed, and expressing a disposi tion to treat the opinion of the Sheriff with all due deference, maintained the relevancy of political dis cussion, and his right to enter into it upon this occa sion. The character and qualifications of a Magis trate were, he submitted, of the utmost importance in the present circumstances of the country, and it was incumbent upon the people to exercise a vigil int jealousy is scrutinizing the pretensiuns of those few among the Magistracy whom they were permitted to elect. Such jealousy, indeed, should peculiarly ap ply to the political principle of any candidate for the Magistracy who sought his election through popular favour. For the people must be aware of the extra , ordinary authority of a Magistrate, especially eaten ded as that authority had lately been by a decree of the executive power. The people must also be aware how liable the authority of a Magistrate was to gross abuse, from the case of Oliver, whom a Magistrate had permitted to escape, while lie committed the un happy victims of that Ministerial spy's nefarious arts lice to the horrors of a dungeon—(Loud applattses, with some hisses and a cry of 4 4 NJ politics. " ) But it was particularly material at the present crisis to select alit and proper person to fill the important office of Lord Mayor in this great city for the ensuing year. For it was to be remembered that a General Election must be looked for within that year, and the influence of our Chief Magistrate upon such an occa sion was notorious. What then was tube apprehended should that influence be committed to the hands of any ton advent to the civil liberty of his fellow•citi sans. and he felt it unnecessary to characterize the probable consitlzt of Mr. Alderman Christopher Smith, that Gentlenial was decidedly rejectel by the Livery at the list el...ction, in con , equence of '•is political principles, which were aggravated by his notorious apostasy—( Load allituue, with some h%tres). —And had this Alderman since the last Election manifestei any disposition to change his conduct, and to return to good principles? On the contrary be had, throtteh thick and through thin. supported the Minister in ail his exertions to suspend the Constitutional freedoiti rf Ills country, while the struggle of the Worthy Magi strate whorl the Livery Ltd so laudally pre :red the last Election. and whom he trusted they wall 1 also pref. r on this occasion, were unifi l mly on side of liberty —(Coat atolavre).—ft b..came th • Livery, indeed, in a peculiar d :erre, to guard :spina: the election cf Alderman Smith, if tf.ey wished to testify that opinion of his conduct which he fiend e believed to be universal—if they di:sired to assure ti.e Minister in the most impressive mano-r, that his pro. ceedings were disapproved of by the Eieciort of cli.i Weill Metropolis —if OCT were alitZiC:th In rescue country hoot eppresAon—if not to save it ftorn mate ruin—(Amlaure).—Therefore he would reco nieed the Livery to rceurn the na ne of Aiderrne Goodbehere with that of the Lord M,43-..r, t, tiee B lard of Aldermen, in order that one nt thn.e Worthy Magistrates shetill be chos-n. whose e v ttinn to pct. pular principles was p:oved beyint all doubt. lie hoped and trusted that such would be th. clacistoo, and that instead of attending to th it system or routine which the Aldermanie Board had, in his opini .n, most improperly and even arrogantly established for its own advastage, the Livery would assert its rights by selecting their Chief Magistrate, from a consideration of his merit and cap iaty to discharge the duties of that important office— (.1/01asues1.—That such selec tion would be the r esu lt of a pol, if that were de. minded, he could not allow himself to doubt, unless the Livery had loo: that spirit of resolution and acti. vity by which it was so nobly distinguished at the last election ; unleis, indeed, they were disposed to acquiesce in the system of oppression and corruption which at present afflicted the c :untry. Aker ob serving, that if the Livery were true to their own in terests on this occasion, he could not suppose it pos. sible, whatever might be the corruption or pertinacity of the Court of Aldermen, that the wishes of the pub lic could be disappointed. The Worthy Gentleman concluded with moving a Resolution, declaratory of the opinion, that the name of the Lord Msayor and Alderman Goodbehete should be r.-turned to the Board of Aldermen, as fit and proper persons to serve the office of Lord \layor fur ear ensuing year. But this resolution being deemed irregular according to usage, it was not pressed. Mr. HITCIIINS then put in nomination the Right Honourable Matthew Wood, Alderman and F;.h. monger, and Samuel Goodbehete, Eq. Alderman and Needlemaker. Mr. WooLEn presented himself to the Meeting, in order to second this nomination, and teas immediately asked by Sheriff Desauges, at the iastence of Mr. Si. mud Dixon, whether he was a Liver y roan ? T • which Mr. Wooler answered in tile affirm olive. Mr. Wouler then proceeded. After the reception, he obkrreed, which the last speaker had met well, he could n )t entertain any doubt of the result of the motion ; and his confidence was in no degree ah.iteJ by the symp toms which had appeared of a difference ci opiiiine. Fur it was natural, that in so large an assembly, and upon an occasion so important, some such difference should exist. He did not then intend to complain of or to reproach those who differed from him ; but to exercise the right (which belonged to him, in common with every one who heard him) of delivering hit; in• dividual opinion. That opinion, he assured his bro. ther Liverymen, he would declare with frankness, and it would be for them to judge of its merit...— Public assemblies of this nature he thought always of great importance ; but peculiarly so at the present crisis, when the ordinary means «if public discussion and communication upon political questions were prohibited by law—(dmlatuer) ; —when Englishmen were forbidden to meet, as they were once accustom ed, to consider and decide upon the interests of tha s ir country. The public voice, therefore, ought, upon such occasions, to be more decidedly expressed ; and it became the duty of every man, who telt an interest in the fate of liberty and his ceuntry, to promote that expression. From that consideration, he had been induced to offer himself to the attention of the Meet ing. The present be could not ceeeede as a mere question with regard to the comparative m-tits of two or three individuals ; but as an important ern test between a great portion of the British People and the Minister of the Crown. The system of that Minister was but too well tteown. It was most sen. sibly felt throughout the Empire ; and the distress it had predoced, as well as t!.e evils it threatened, were obvious to (seer)* man. It had scattered misery through the land, and menaced the ultim ate ru i n o f the country—( .Imlauttr, :one tract of ~No Poll. iki') ;ais l e s d b il ;eeim person s , ( . i aeeirslo Politics" a oli(sicst' was very nat ua rally h ' e political system of our Ministers could not endure investigation. Fos that system was radically bad ; but although so bad for the nation, it we: good for many individuals— for those who httetted upon its corruption—hir thete who participated oh the Wives and fishes. But tMs begged even those persons to reflect upon the condi tien of the country.—to consider, that aidtoligh this vicious system afforded wealth to tlicio, it ihri•atened to entail misery.upon their dtec id:lms. He hoped, therefore, that these pets 115 teOttlel care anc ye beyond the circle of their own enjoyments —*mild lock around them, and feel somewhat for tram. Here Sheriff Desalloes called the speaker to order, deprecating political discussi-in, and his opinion was seconded by several voices. Mr. Women maintained that was order, as the question before the nutting cally political.
