• BCTION PROCERDINGS AT KENDAL. ;This town (Kendal) is now involved iti ell the beetle of a contested Election. The friends of rho; present Members for the County, have indeed, for o we weeks been engaged in an active canvass, the ; • smelt of which, they have slated to be such, as to take away every chance of a successful opposition. I• 7 ' They appear , to have persuaded themselves that no , periods_ attempt would be made to disturb the tree.- ' with which these things have been Managed la this Coenty ever since the memorable year 1768.. In this, however, they have been mistaken. Mottilar, the 26th instant, James Brougham, Esq. arrived here to annoence his brother as a new Candidate to represent the County of West. modem) in the ensuing' Parliament. On approach. jug the town, he was greeted by the bells ringing and by loud acclamations from An immense cat-. course of people, who accompanied him to the, Zing's Arms Inn. Soon after his arrival there, such an ebullition of popular feeling took place, as perhaps • was never before witnessed in this town. With an irresistible impulse, numbers burst into his apartment, and insisted on chairing him through one of the principal streets. Averse, as . Le evidently was, to sods en eahibition of himself,' compliance, under all the circumstances of the case, leas unavoidable; and accordingly, be was chaired • a Conaiderable way down Highgate and beet- lie the • inn, accompanied by the Kendal Union Bondi and continually cheered by the enthusiastic shouts of his numerous attendants. On his return, he addressed them by stating that he was net come, as the hand. ann ounced, to commence a canvass on the part of his brother. He came to have some cootrienica. don on the subject or the Contest which they bad all• so much et heart. Finding matters as they now stood, be wished that a Committee shootd.impeasliatela. be fortned, and a cents* comm t enceti-oolte part or, the Independent interest, to support whig t h, they had been pleased to nominate his brotbk Hoerr 13rooghate, as ik . ..Capikdote, end that hie utmost zeal might be depended - on in this laudaitte tautest. "Butt, Gentlemen (slid fdr. J. II.), the cause in !hick you ate now embarked is not Mr. Brougham's, it is -yones; it is the Freeholders of Westmorland struggling not for this Alan , or that, but for their Independence. It has no political object in view, it is a simple question, which comes'home•to you all— Wilt you be contented to 'allow one Man, however exalted in rank, or however respectable,to name both your • Representatives?—{Loud cheers.)—By the present abase of our Constitution, seeml great, and rich individuals name the Members for Boroughs, which are called Rotten Boroughs; hut it remains with you to say whether the County of Westmorland is to continue to be treated like Cockermouth or Appleby, and to have its Members imposed upon it at the !Amami( nny great Msn.—( Loud Cheers.)— ht is now nearky,lifty years since you have been called upon to exercise your Elective Pratielike, during which time the County has been treated lilte one of these Borough,. I Cannot believe this to be the unbiassed wish of any Freeholder. _.• " The opposite party have, I am infec4ed i been sec) , active in their canvass (Shorts They hare ,bad no success') all over the couta, akwglll4in this place, They have hail the start, Gentlemen, but the .stafind spirit will, I trust, be with is, and we shall soon leave them hehind."—( Load cheers.) • The cheers almost shook' the town. Such scenes : are quite novel here ; and, thooghit rained lacessant- Jy, the crowd continued for several hours. The win dows were filled with [Mies, and favours with " Oroughans anti Independence," were flying in all directions.—To the above account we have only to 'add, that after some little irregularities and disturb ances, which, however unpleasant, are not unusual . upon these occasions ; the town is now quiet and . orderly,—Mr. Brougham's Committee have been can vassing Kendal for the laat three days. The result (we are informed from gond authority) is fist beyond the most sanguine eapectations of their party.— ( Kendal Chronicle.) 13owarwitves Cuirassiers were formed and armed with ,weapons to destroy the independence of nations : Mr. Bun's Cuirassiers are formed end armed with manifestoes to secure the independence of every Reader, who is invited to purchase Tickets or Shares of the Time Prises of £30.000, or of any other part of the 100Chpitoli• in. thiik Lottery ; and as the Ten Fittt..d9.lvn.,Priscs tn. the 4th of Mauctb most he all Capitols Wt z emo t li,ooQ,‘ &c, bealdes ; poor Pipes of Port fit; - tilitairit-Ithistns"Dlink,4ll.; venturers have now en oppotterillOwtribtaitsi late: single hour, vitae for life, and independenteelmelter..: . .

MENACING TUMULT AT BRIGHTON. • •-At the Sitting of Magistrates at the Town-hali so Thursday, the Supervisor, Mr. 1101011 P, Mr. Charles Wrentmore, an &cite Officer from Alfriston, and a Mr. Haynes, belonging to the Excise also, from Sea ford, attended for the purpose of lodging informations, *ad punishing certain individuals in this town, fur selling spirits, to the detriment of the Revenue r and the injury of the fair trader, without licences. Of fear cases, one ooly was pursued to toovictioe r that of anelderly woman, named Ilasuivell, in the Wei peed penalty of live pounds ; one was &misted for an error in the information, anti two stand over for. isseetigat ices end decision hereafter. During the pro ' ceedittgi of the Bea* an immense confluence of . mantis Sad .collected without, .aod es ,the Excise Officers retired from the Hall, the behaviour of the populace became insufferably rude end insulting. In Market-street, rotten eggs, and othet offensive might Biles, mud, turnips, &c. disfigured the 'versional of the individuals named. and • the. reproaching, epithets " Common Informers," were rife with the assailants. Near the Chimney's Inn, the ~ Supervisor was separated from Mr. •Wrentmori, against whom the popular fury seeined more pars titularly directed. The latter . endeavoured to reach the King an'! Queen Inn, by a route through Castle-square, errors the Steyne, &c. but found the task Impracticable. lie several times petitioned to'i mercy, but it. *as not grated to him ; io the agony be suffered, he sneght refuge in several houses, bet was either expelled, or drugged from them by hie pursuers, while his supplications were soswered only by renewed discherges of mud and rotten eggs, until it 'was impossible to distinguish ,arc particular fea ture in his face. At the Segue front of the Palace, he. sought the protection of the centinels, but the Many hundreds assembled rendered the interposition of two men as nugatory ; and after rootting the gauntlet of scattered filth and itidiscriinioate. assanits, the sufferer, nearly ethausted, presented himself to the centinels of the Pavilion south-gate. Here the soldiers again tried to shield him front . the rage of the rioters, which now was at its climes, and heavy stones and fragments otbrick, hurled with desperate force, menaced frightful danger, wounds, and death. At this time the High Constable, Mr. John Williams, 'add his posse of Ileadhoroughs, forced their way, 'with greet difficulty, and at the rick of their lives, through the crowd, to Mr. Wrentmore's assist ance, and at last succeeded in bearing him Welt to the Town-ball dreadfully disfigured and bruised, and delirious from alarm and pain. The High Coe stable . washurt by the flying missiles, in the spirited, I humane, and successful efort, he and his posse had made in the execution of their ditty, but, pro. dentially, neither materially. The condition of poor Wrentnaore requiring the immediate aid of s surgeon, Mr.Battcock was sent for, who bled him, and erdeted that lie should be put to bed. 'He complained mecli - of his head, and was for some time nearly insensiltin.., No bones were broken, but the surgeon, from the violent siteeks he had sustained, could t i nt positisity say that no stternal hurts had been 'received.' Int the Weill!). Mr. Hams had.escapettahe fury of the ' . 414b by mating his wiriest* Stschretrbeisse -of Mt. er to*-44ettege.street, and Wheece, by letting ,Ilderself. sot of. the back part of „the premises, slcollog a wall or two, he contrived to escape. •Miggittietear 3.

LIH.E L. . • LET PER It. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STATESMAN. Ste,—lt Ms not been went of good »HI, lint want of leisure alone that has prevented me from replying sooner to the Letter of your Correi *pendent under the signature of a COUNTRY MA• alma**. The opinion entertained by that Gen. Oman is, I am sorry to say, much too common:— , - •iie seems to think that whatever comes under the general denomination of Law Is entitled to an equal degree of attention and respect from i Juryman; sod that a person discharging that important office is to totally exonerated from the necessity of making any investigation respecting the due application of the • Law, which it is the duly of the Judge to point out, whilst that of the Juryman is implicitly to receive it, and on that confidence to ground his verdict ; so that if the dictation of the Judge should prove wrong, still he (the Juryman) should be held blameless, not merely in the public estimation, bet also free from any reproaches of his own conscience. To this doctrine I cannot subscribe, because I hold in very different estimation those ancient Laws which con stitute the franchise of the land, or were enacted by otos general consent of the People—Cot/mins utentium, as Bnacrox espreisesit —and thor se judi cial constructions which, however various and con- tradictory they may be, have all beesbeld to be Law at some time or soother. 1 beg leave to refer your Correspondent, who calls himself aMagistrate, to his own sob of office, by which Ise promises to " do equal justice to rich. and poor after the hest of his rewiring, wit, and power, and after the Laws and Customs of the Realm and the Stainteethereof made." That is, after the Cour mon Law and the Statute lAlif f because thaw lowa, and those Laws only, have received the consent of the People, and fur that plain reason the People are bound by them. The preamble to an old Statute, when Acts of Parlismesst were written in Norman French, says, " Na! Li La) oblige le Ample Lague ceo que est fait par consent del People," is, •‘ no Law obliges the People but those made with the consent of the People." IVhert we hail Justices in Eyre, the oath they rook was, " Ye Justice shall swear that well and truly ye shalt de right to your power, to all people, as well to poor as to rich ; and that for highness, nor for riches, nor for hatred, nor for good deed, gift, or promise of anypersen, neither by craft nor by maligny, the right of any per son ye shall not disturb nor respite against reason, nor the Lewes of the Land, but without regard of any estate, or person, truly ye shall do right to every person after the lames and customer of the land."— , See the look of Ouths, p. 235; see also the Oath of ' a Justice to hear and determine, p. '233 and VG...-. The Judge most swear " well and truly to serve the King AND lIIS Peort.s in the office of Jestice.".-‘ Mind, Reader, he is to serve, not only the King, but the PEOPLE likewise well and truly. And how is he to serve the People ? Why, by well and truly ad ministering to them, that Law which has heels very properly called the Law of the Land (Lex Term), in consequence of having received its sanction from all the People dwelling in the land. This sanction is given two ways—at the Coronation, when an Oath is proposed on the part of the People to the King, that he will maintain their ancient laws and customs ; or in Parliament, where all the People are supposed to be either in person or by representation. And on, the same ground it is, that the preamble to another ancient Statute declares. that " the People of Eng land are governed by no man's lairs." Such, iss• deed, is the Constitution of our Government—an Eeglishman being obliged to conform only to his own laws, that is, to those by which he has volun tarily bound himself. In fact, it is essential to the condition of a free also to be bound only by such laws as have been submitted to his approbation.— To be governed by laws proceeding from the will, or the caprice, or the professional construction of an other man k the essence of slavery ; and of all she many different forms and modes of slavery, that, in my opinion, is the worst which proceeds from the arbitrary construction of a Jutlge ; as un the other band that I conceive to be the beet, •r rather the least oppressive, which proceed, from the absolsrie will of some Sultan, Mogul, ley, or other despot ; because these " gods upon earth," give People warts ! . log ; their thunder precedes tt.eblow ; they ausiounre their will before they strike; and they strike only those who rebel igaiest it ; they do not indeed coo• ceive it necessary to assign any reason for that will, dot pro ratione coluntas. Like the ancient Bour bon shivery, before the Revolution, it is sufficient for them to say, Car ninsi me plaitit—car lel est mon.bon plaisire, &c. But the man who falls a sa crifice to the arbitrary construction of a Judge, has no warning of the blow that carries with it his destruction. lie may be conscious of basing given no offence to shose.Laws,which alone "oblige le Peuple" brooms quence of having been made "par consent del Peo ple." The Common Law and also the Statute Law, be has not, we will suppose. trenagressed.. No; his transgression only exists in the quibbling. Ocoee !courtly Judge, who, by forced constructions wishes like Chief Justice Weisner, in drams of the Seven Bishops, or Levi trlitaseurt.n in that of the London . Rioters, to give • greeter estenstio to the Lsw of Libel, or that of nigh Treason. Sir W. BLAIIKSTONEhAS asserted dialed'. titles of England emanate from the voice of the Peep?", every man is punished by Laws to vs hicb.he has given hie consent. This is sound Constitutienil doctrine; but all the ingenuity of this plausible Commentator would have failed him, had be attempted "to apply to those punishments unknown to our ancestors, and which have originated entirely from the new inter pretations of the Law set op by qiiibbling Judges. A modern Poet bas compared Law too forest, where, says be — The twelve liferberrne every day Are changing still the peNtr Yet if we mho our ease, and - • We itkevatis penalties ;gar." It is very true that the veraterers here allotted to The to; 'iciest time past .wecopied themselves in making skews, changes in the public way ! gist it has hew become gloriously tar:certif., and the led guides hate become quite useless. ' A famous Old Bailey Pleader, now on the Bench, not long since , declared that BLACKSToNE Meisel( could no longue, be considered a safe direction pest. Certain it is that many a hapless traveller, who never intended to commit a trespass, has been grievottsly Punished_ for . mistaking bis way in this horrible labyrinth. , Now this is really abominable, because the officers brtill alluded to, ere designed to be the conservators Vas ancientroads, and not the makers of new ones. By forming seinen' , mazes they betray that trait for which they are so liberally remunerated by the Pub lie, who are, in fact, the proprietors of thesejoada t and without whose COlisPnt they ought nOt 'to be Mitred in any chaps. In short, the People base a right to go Abe way their ancestors went before them.

As it is the offive of the ' Jury to 'apply the law, and that of the Judge to es i•lain it to *him, it necessarily follows that the Judge ought to explain it to their entire satisfaction, fot unless that satisfaction •is fill and complete, they cannot eiply it--inasmuch as they must well and - truly try and give a verdict on their own conviction, not upon a mere belief in any man's Opinion Or as. **siker, however respectable the party making such au assent 'n may be. Without. therefore, meaning any thing like pet sonal disrespect to the Judge pre . . siding on this cause, I find it nee:lslay to say, that my sense of duty requires some better foundation for a verdict than that of a dictum announced from ' the Bench, unattended with any reference, reason. Ing, proof, or espnsition, to support it. If your Lordship can satisfy us.that the ancient Common ' Law of Euglaud, or the express enactment of some ' Statute; has made Truth a Libel, it will be our im perative duty to apply that law to the party, because 'he was bound to obey it. But if this disclaim of truth being a libel is law derived only from the con. striittl;et Of a Judge, or the practice of the Courts, and from no other origin whatever, the party a& cured 'was not bound by the Constitution of this land to obey it, and we should be traitors to the British Constitution, and violators of the oath we base taken, -if we delivered him over to punishment for t breaking a law, which, not having been made with the COMSEaT OF THE PEOPLE, can have no 0111t.IGA.
