The :Warning Chronicle is a Paper of great re- ,1 spectability, because c on d uc t e d u p on very h onout -I able grounds: but whose fixed attachment to the Whig Aristocracy presents it from serving the public cause, so much as its great circulation and I literary influence might otherwise well enable it to do. The above journal of to-day exhibits, in so striking a rght, the personal inconvenience felt by its Editor, and the thraldom in which its poli tical reasoning is involved, by 'its attachment to the views of a body of men, that we cannot help noticing the matter in our own Paper, as the circumstance of our so doing may be productive of some public benefit, and cannot, as we trust, give rise to the smailest private aversion or incon venience. The Chronicle, then, treats of the result of the Staffordshire election with great delicacy, but; whose example, it very properly affirms, should' animate the exertions of every Freeholder of Eng land. It adds, too, in a language which pleases vs, that " it is a symptom of the spirit which per vades the creat constituent body of the kingdom, and an indication of the success which that spirit. when displayed, can never fail to obtain." It then asks, " Where could base been found a more un exceptionable Candidate than Lord GOWER r We answer that question by saying, that a more excep tionable one could hardly be found. As the son of a man'of immense wealth, who espoused a prodi giously rich wife, and represents his order and his family in the first House of Parliament, it is highly improper any one of his sons should be another Representative of a different order of the social compact. It is from that unna tural conglomeration of wealth and influence that all our evils have sprung : and we will con tribute. to the utmost of our power, to cry it down: whetber the candidate for popular favour be Whig wish to see the distinctive term abolished but we wish still more to see the principles which the WHIG* entertain against the DEMOCRACY of the country (the aow►dest and Most lawful part of the Constitution of the State) softened down, and, in fine, their conflicting views and interests better incorporated for the general good of the country, in which the 'one party is powerfully struggling to maintain its ascendency, 'and the other, ifs propetly as it is pertinaciously, employed to regain ifs lest weight in the scale or constitutional libratiou. If our cotemporary should become a little less the stickler to Whiggism, obr *lends may be a little More likely to escape the twitting or Radicalism. Not that we have ever belt one fibre of the body disturbed by the imputation ourselves ; but we must and wilt stand up for those persons who have less of nerve; by whom, and with whom, we expect to see this unhappy country, at no great distance or time, set to rights. We again repeat what we said a few days ago, that we advise the constituent body of Electors to reject for Candidates the sons, and particularly the eldest cons, of Noblemen, whether they class them selves with Tory or associates. They are improper Rtpresenialires of the common people of their country. We do our cotemporary ready justice in saying that he speaks with complacency of the cause of freedom in Staffordshire prevailing, and that the partizans of the late measetes have been best/6011y dy'ealed ; but he adds— "4laay thing enia.slasap our joy at this snanifestat of public feeling, it is, that this repulse has met been Wised by some more forward and violent champion of the Ministty. If a man could have bred &end, who had made a boast of his readiness to do military execution on his rountryinen, such a person would have been a fitter subject for popular castigation than the mild and unoffending herd Gowan." Now, the concluding paragraph is the sacrifice that pore Whiggism exacts from the writer who wilt tout consent to tell an untruth, but who feels it incumbent on him, from connexion or friendship, not to tell the whole truth. We, without any bias,: but pore patriotism and troth, would say on the eon- i eon tray, that, if a marked distinction should be model by the undue meddling of a Tory or Whig family in the democratic movements of the country, it should be in one, the Wild of which is of a hw eeergrowns /wham. 4110 who was, by right owoorghip, driving his poor tenants so quit their hovels, and seek shelter .n the woods (at the Cape of Good Hope), or where they can ; that his views of territorial sovereignty may be accomplished, and his (states less *pecked by that appear ance of i.overty which this leviathan appetite of aggraodizement has occasioned. Let not, above all, such Tory conduct find Whig de fenders in this conntity: less still among Same Moms, for lording it thus over poor Scotch tenantry.— The history of the Sutherland estate administra tion loas shocked our feelings often and often. The City Election terminated yesterday, on which much might be said. We shall, however, dekr our general remarks thereon till to-morrow, with a view of making them useful, es far as Elections on similar iews and grounds may be still undeter mined. We have this morning received a Alcor American Papers; their contents, however, are wholly unim portant and without interest —We have riven two or three extracts. DURILLII COUNTY ELECTION. Mr. Lambton, the Hon. Mr. Powlrtt, and Mr. Whar ton. were pitt in nomination at Durham on Monday last, when a •hew of hands was declared be the High Sheriff in favour of the two foroirr Dentlenien, ishrti Mr. Whar kis demaded a poll, which was granted.

(Vltti)l THa 101:111.1:1 EVENINO POST.) ‘II:ItON . 4 torNTY.—It seentX that the friends oT Sir Charles Conte have endeavonred to create an impression unfavourable to Sir lknry Parnell, on acrooint of the salutary and necessary Act which lie carried throng!' Parliament, to regulate the elections of this part of the United Kingdom. With respect to assessing the county fur the expenses of a contested election, the tsx will be a nicer berate le, and should not, even if it were heavier than it is, be put, even for a moment, into e petition with the 'manifold advatitages arising from the law. It limits the duration of the election by the multiplication of booths; it obviates the difficulties in taking the polls; it pots a stop to specehting against time= it mikes the contest between the long-pulse and public ho nesty more (vial than it has been; it secures the fair operation of public opinion in the selection of a candi date; it will have the effect of putting a stop to bribery, to perjnry, wool all the vices which are let loose in the gettersd agitation of a great county; and, finally, it strips officers anti agents of the power of mulcting an unfortunate candidate; for, as the expenses are to be presented by the Brand Jury, that body will take rite that no c than the honey spent shall be levied on the county - niR NSW P4RLI4MENT. muiszal arruaxad. . .
