WESTMORLAN!) ELECTION. - --....-- [PROM OUR OWN REPORTER.I At length the day to long looked forward to with anxiety by the freeholders of Westmorland has arrived, and the battle has actually commenced. At as early hour on Thursday morning the bands of the eon. tending parties paraded the streets, cheered wherever they appeared by their respective friends. Flags in abundance, blue and ydlow, added to the imposing effect produced by the enthusiasm which marked every movement or expression of the assembled multitude, The ladies too made their appearance, adorned with the colours of their essay, in the windows opposite and adjacent to the hustings, and added not a little to the animation of the scene. Ao amusing anecdote is related of Mr. J. H. Lowther, son of Sir J. Lowther, who, it Is said, entered one of the inns where the Yellows have taken up their quarters. Ile had just returned from Yorkshire, where he had been aiding the return of Messrs. Buncombe and Wilson, whose colours he of course wore. Their colours were blue, and he had therefore a blue watch.riband. Upon entering the inn one of the Yellows attempted forcibly to e ject him. Mr. Lowther indignantly asked him what he meant, or if he knew whom he was insulting? He replied, that he neither knew nor cared, it was enough fur him to know that he was a Blue; and without further ceremony, fairly forced him into the street. At a quarter before eleven o'clock the Sheriff appeared upon the hustinge; and in the course of a few minutes the Candidates also presented themselves to the notice of the electors, amidst very general cheering. As soon as the usual forms had been gone through, the Sheriff declared that he was ready to hear any tree holder who might 'WI to put a Candidate in nomination. Mr. C. tVILSON then stepped forward fur the purpose of nom:. amass Viscount Lowther as a candidate to represent the county of liVestmorland in Parliament. (Cheers.) They had met together upon that occasion for the purpose of exercising the most important duty which belonged to Englishmen, that of returning two Knights of the Shire to represent the city of Westmorland in Parliament. (Cheers.) In discharging that duty, they would of coarse look to those whose characters had been already well tried, and whose con. duct had been under the observation of the county while acting in a public capacity. The present were such limos as should induce the electors of Westmorland to look for men who would sup port the King and the constitution of the country, both In church and state. (Cheers and hisses.) They must, there. fore, look to those whose conduct they had tried, and whose principles they approved, and in doing so they could nut fail to select the Noble Lord, and his honourable and gallant brother as their Representatives in the ensuing Parliament. • (Cheers, and hisses from the Blues.) Their characters and their exertions were known to the Meeting. and from those exertions they would never shrink. (Cheers.) It would be their constant endea vour to preserve the constitution unimpaired—they would support every real improvement which could safely be introduced ; but they would also resist every dangerous and speculative innovation. (eteers from the Yellows.) Therefore it was, that he felt the greatest satisfaction in recommending to their notice, and in accord ingly nominating Viscount Lowther. (C h eers, and hisses from the Blues.) He would not say much in praise of the Noble Lord in his presence; but thus much he felt bound to declare, that no man was more Industrious than he was, nor was any more zealous or persevering in his exertions for the benefit of the country in general, and more particularly fur that of the county of IVestmorland. From present appearances he augured that they would have enough of work to do by and bye (cheers from the Blues); therefore he would not take up any more of their time in words, but content himself with merely nominating his Lordship. (Great cheering from the Yellows, and some hisses from the Blues.) Mr. E. Irt agog then presented himself to second the nomina tion, and was received with mingled expressions of applause and disapprobation. He called upon the freeholders of Westmorland to do their duty upon that excision, as the Noble Lord and his brother bad done theirs in Parliament, by supporting the Protes tant Constitution of the kingdom, and by attending to the rights and privileges of the freeholders of %Vestmorland. (Cheers and hires.) No one could possibly have the imerests of the county more at heart than the Nohle Lord who was then before them, to ask for a continuance of that support which they had formerly given to him, and which he was sure they would not refuse him upon that occasion. (Cheers and hisses.) lie had twice already beaten his opponents, but it appeared they were anxious to be once more defeated, in which wish they would of course be gratified. (Cheer...) This, however, was the time for work, and not for words; and he would therefore only detain them while seconding the nomination of Viscount Lowther, as a tit and proper person to represent the county of 'Westmoreland in Parliament. (Cheers, and some biases from the Muni.) ' Colonel Wtesow, of Ballet)] 'rower, then presented himself to the attention of the freeholders, but found it fax some time I ex tremely difficult to gain a hearing. He assured them repeatedly that he would not keep them long ; if they would not hear him, he coalil not help it. At length, however, after pledging his honour that he would not detain them five minutes, if they would hear hint, which declaration was not a little aided by his evident good humour, he obtained silence. In rising, he said, to propose a second Candidate to their notice, ha was not actuated by any am bitious or interested motives, he was only anxious to do his duty as an independent country gentleman (cheers), and to do t: - tat duty in such a manner as might tend to promote the welfare and inde pendence—he wished it to be remarked that he said independence— of the county of Westmorland. (Cheers and hisses.) The Hon. and Gallant Colonel whom he was about to put in nomination had had the honour of being sent twice before to Parliament as one of she Representatives of the county of Westmorland, and wholly unconscious of having since then given them any offence whatever, he now again solicited a renewal of that confidence with which they hod favoured him upon former occasions. (Loud cheers.) He then proposed the lion. Henry Cecil Lowther as a Candidate, because he thought him entitled to their support by his former con due'', and he felt assured that they would not then refuse him three cheers for his success. (Great cheering front the Yellows.) To those who objected to the Honourable and Gallant Colonel upon pal tical grounds, he (Colonel Wilson) would say, that however he himself might agree in opinion with the gentleman whom he loud put in nomination generally, yet there were points upon which they differed; but that did not render him at all the less anxious to support him to the utmost of his power. (Cheers and hisses.) To thole who had no other objection to him titan his good name, and a fear that his election again would stamp the influence of the family in IVestmorland, he would say that he did not believe his election would have the effect of at all increasing that influence. Powerful as that family might be, he disclaimed the right of any branch of it to nominate the Representatives of the county. (Cheers.) The fact ' was, however, that in the present instance, the sense of the mnjority ' of the freeholders of the county went hand in hand with that power. (Cheers.) Nothing could be further from his wish than to say anything against the merits of his honourable opponent, or against the influence by which he was supported; but he would fearlessly assert that the sense of the county, or at least the sense of the resi. dent freeholders of the county, was in favour of their former Repre sentatives. (Cheers and hisses.) Ile would not in conclusion thank than for the patient hearing which they had given him, but he would thank them for not having completely drowned his voice. 'Abs Honourable Gendemun then withdrew amidst great cheering. Colonel MAUDE next presented himself to the electors, and said that in seconding the nomination of the lion. H Cecil Lowther, as whose friend lie had then the honour of appearing on the hustings for the third time, he had again the satisfaction of appeal ing to his past conduct—to his ready attention to the local interests of the county, and to the wishes of his Constituents. (Applause and some hissing.) He appealed to his honourable support of every measure likely to contribute to the support and security of our excellent Constitution in Church and State. (Cheers and hisses.) To these put services lie appealed as pledges of his future Parlia mentary conduct, and as proofs of his fitness for their Representative. (Cheers and hisses.) He would go a step further, and declare. that not only had he claims upon their gratitude for his past services, but that, in proportion to the attachment which the free holders bore to our venerable and unrivalled Constitution and to true Protestant principles, in that proportion would they COMA forward, to /return u one of their Knights of that shire, by a triumphant majority, his esteemed friend, the lion- Henry Cecil Lowther. (Great cheering, and hisses from the Blues.) Mr. IVeseitott then came forward, and was received most enthusiastically by the Blues, and with some marks of disappro bation from the Yellows. As soon as silence conld be obtained, he said that he was sorry to to again called upon to oppose the re. turn of the sitting Members, but he felt it to be his bounden duty to propose Henry Brougham as one of the Knights of the Shire for the representation of the county of Westmorland in Parliament. ( Much cheering from the Blues.) In his opinion, by returning Henry Brougliani as their Representative, they would stamp the independence of Westmorland, rather than by pursuing the course recommended to them by Ale Wilson. (Cheers and hisses.) Ile thought that a broad hint had been given by the 1,349 freeholders who had voted for Mr. Brougham upon the last occasion--a hint so broad, he thought, as to have induced the Lord Lieutenant of r r the county to wi•hdraw one of his sons from a contest so monopo. Meng in its principle and so expensive in its proceedings. (Cheers from the Blues.) Ile had, however, found himself wofully deceived, and he now felt convinced that if the county of West morland, like that of Y or k, were to r ece i ve th e privilege of re turning four 3lembers to Parliament, the insatiable ambition of the house of Lowther would have stomach for them all. (Great cheer. ing and laughter.) Their opposition to the Noble Lord and his brother did not proceed from any motives originating in personal 11.AreipeCt—at least he could say so for himself—but they had been a good deal puffed off by their friends. (Cheers and hisses.) They had had four friendly trumpeters, and it must be confessed that these gentlemen acted well their parts. (Great laughter and cheering.) And yet he doubted if the voices of the Noble and Honourable Candidates were ever heard beyond their hustings. (Cheers and hisses.) He, foe his own part, had never heard them elveabere, nor had he ever read of them anywhere else —no, not even in that most Intelligent, impartial, and independent news. paper, the John 8011. (Great hissing, and ch eer i ng f rom t h e Bl ues .) Riney Brougham, however, required no trumpeter—his talents and acquirements were net only known upon those hustings, but over the whole county—not only over the county, but over the whole 1 Itingdern—nay, not merely over the kingdom, but throughout all Europe. (Great cheering.) They might depend upon it that the aunt of Henry Brougham was as well known in the Courts of the holy Alliance as in the yellow corridors of Lowther Castle, and h e could too assure th em , that it was just as unpopular in the oze place 1 as in the other. (Great laughter.) He was ready to admit that the result of the contest ought not to depend upon the personal merits of the Candidates. He was ready, for the take of argument, to ad mit that Lord Lowther Wass wiser man and a deeper politician than Henry Brougham. lie would also admit that the Honourable' Colonel Lowther was possessed of deeper erudition, and that in the' art of speaking he as tar surpassed Henry Brougham as he did the periwig who had then the honour to address them. ((hells, laughter, and hisses.) Still, if all this were the case, Henry Brougham ought to be the object of their choice for one plain reason—he came to them recommended by 1349 freeholders of the county. Ile would not say independent freeholders, fur their opponents did net seem to like the word ; none of them, with the exception of Mr. Wilson, having mentioned the word indrpottlence. He had no wish whatever to give offence, and he would therefore say, that he came to them recommended by 1,349 unbiassed freeholders who voted for him upon the occasion of the late contest. (Cheers and hisses) Übe was asked what he meant by unbiassed freeholders, he would reply, that he meant freeholders who did not give their votes on account of favours already conferred, or in anticipation of favours to come, and who were not deterred from voting according to their principles by any fear of the Lord Lieutenant's indigos. tion, (Cheers, and great hissing from the Yellows.) Those tree holders had given • broad hint, as he had already stated, of their wishes as to the representation of the county. Mr. Wilson had stated that he thought that the majority of the resident freeholders were in favour of Lord and Colonel Lowther. He differed with him in that opinion. If no votes were received but those of the resident freeholders of Cumberland (great laughter, and hisses from the Yellowe)--he meant of course Westmorland, but they were sister counties. The Noble Veer to whom he had alluded sent one of the Representatives for Cumberland also, and if lie would be content to do the same by Westmorland, and send only one, the independent freeholders would be contented. (Cheers.) lie had been informed that a new race of freeholders had sprung tip from the coal-pits of Whitehaven (great cheers), and he believed those coal-pits were of a most prolific nature. (Cheers and hisses.) He remembered a contest which took place a great number of years ago for Carlisle, in which he was himself a counsel for one of the Can. didates. Upon that occasion the Whitehaven colliers overpowered the freeholders of Carlisle; but although they gained the poll, the House of Commons eventually declared them all to be illegitimate. (Here there was considerable impatience manifested by the people.) He perceived that some of them were in a bad humour, and he would endeavour to put them into a good one, by an anecdote which he would relate to them. At that election a friend of his composed a song. He was a wicked wag—a very wicked wag. He had for. gotten all of the song except the burthen, but that was soapplicable to the present occasion that he would give it to diem— " !forum sconon, mushroomoruni ; Harum scarum. all oh ; Tag rag from Whitehaven, Colliers in and quorum, Hic hoc horum, come to poll, oh ! (A great deal of laughter followed the repetition of these lines.) He asked the pardon of the Meeting for jesting upon so serious a sub ject. He would conclude, however by recommending the freehol ders of Weetittorland, if they wished to preserve their own honour and the honor of their county—if they wished to keep the two branches of the legislature distinct flom each other, and if they wished to preserve the independence of the House of Commons, to support has Hon. Friend .Me. Henry Brougham. (Cheers.) In deed, unless they wished to leave that House,' in the words of the first Lord Lonsdale, without any thing but the name, they would stand forward upon that occasion and rescue the county from the domination which ruled it. (Cheers and hisses) Although he had had the honour of proposing Mr. Brougham as a candidate for the representation of their county then for the third time, yet lie had never taken the liberty of asking them for three cheers, but he was certain they would then give them without his asking. (Great cheering front the Blues, but not so numerous a display of hats off as for the Yellows.) Mr. CRACRESITHORTE then stood forward to second the nomi nation of his Hon. Friend, Mr. Brougham. He regretted that the duty of doing so devolved upon himself. and he the more sincerely regretted it because it had so devolved upon him in consequence of an accident which had happened to Mr. Wakefield, to which alone his absence was to be attributed, and which he was sure the Meet. Ling would lament as deeply as he di.: himself. (Cheers.) He was aware that he was not so well qualified as that gentleman for the task he had undertaken, but he was equally s ncere and equa lly anxious for the success of the gentlemen whose nomination he was about to second ; and, under these circumstances, he was sure that they would give him every indulgence while he performed that duty in the most efficient manner that his abilities would allow of. (Cheers.) It was to him a source of the greatest pride and gratifi cation ;to have his nanie associated in any way w i t h the Inde pendence of the county of Westmorland. (Cheer..) He had long lamented the thraldcm in which the c nutty had been enchained, and he thought it was an imperative duty upon him to take the earliest opportunity of lending his assistance, in conjunction with that of the honest grey.coats of Westmorland, to shake off a domination which would be content with nothing less than a monopoly, and which sought to degrade die county of Westmorland into the situa tion of a close borough, like those of Ceckerrnouth and Haslemere. (Cheers from the Blues, and cries of " Winehelses" from the Yellows.) Would the honest freeholders of Westmorland sub. writ to such a degradation ? (Cries of " Hear, hear.") He was sure they would not—they h a d fou g ht two aulm already for their ind pendence, and they would enter upon the pre sent contest, conscious of the goodness of their cause, and de. terrnined not to be overpowered by the influence, nor b ought nor corrupted by the wealth, of those to whom they were opposed, (Great cheering, and hisses from the Yellows.) He felt confident that their spirits would rise, and their energies increase, in propor tion to the difficulties which they would have to struggle with. (Cheers.) Ile was aware that it had been said that their opponents had gained something by being early in the field, and indeed the host of agents whom they employed could not have exerted them. selves wholly without effect. He had heard of their operations, and also of the exertions of the clerical freeholders in every house, ham. let, village, and town in the county, and he could not bring himself to pass over the conduct of many of the clergy without a comment. (Cheers and hisses.) He did not think that it was consistent with I the duties of a clergyman to lend himself to a party—to enlist him. self in the canvass, and, in order to serve the purposes of that party, to raise the war-whoop of No Popery—(great cheering from the Blues, and almost as great hissing from the Yellows) to work upon the bigotry of some, and to impose upon the ignorance of other,. (Great uproar.) The cry was raised that the Church was in danger —but he would ask, how was it endangered ? Could it be endan. fedby extending the right hand of fello ws hip to or 7 millions of th er iMajesty's subjects. Sur e ly ca n vass i ng all day and carousing all night, could not be reckoned amongst the functions of • Cler. gyman, and he sincerely hoped it would be the last time he would have to remark upon such unseemly proceedings. (Cheers and hisses.) The present contest had not originated from any personal motives, and it was continued solely from the sacred principle of rescuing the county of Westmorland from its thraldrom. He would defy M. %Wilson, with all his ingenuity, and he was blessed with a considerable share, to prove that his cause was that of indepen. dente. So much for Westmorland; and he would next pro. teed to( say a word or two as to the Candidates to whom he was opposed. Ile had not been 1. ductal to oppose them from any per. 11011111 motives whatever, but yet he objected to them bra h (hisses j from the Yellows) ; and he would st a t e hi s o bj ect i ons f a i r l y i n t h e fate of the county. Me objected to the Noble Lord, because in j the first place be was the son of the Lord Lieutenant, and h e thought it unconstitutional for hint on that account to appear there at all. In the next place he was a pensioner. He knew that the Noble Lord was independent of his place, but nevertheless his opi. Mons must naturally have an aptitude to be biassed in consequence of that place. His place was that of Lord of the Treasury, and they were all aware that the Tr easur y was t h e p l ace i n w h ic h the alphabet of polities were taught. The Noble Lord, however, al. though it was seven vearesince his introduction, was still like an idle school-boy, at the bottom of his cleas..(('heers and laughter, and hisses from the Yellows.) He had expected that he would have risen to some important office in the Administration. (Here the noise was so great. that we could not hear for some moments). It VAS not the case, however, and at the termination of seven years he wsaprecisety where he was at first. When the Noble Lord was placed its competition with Mr. Brougham, he was sure they would Immediately perceive that his qualifications ill-fitted him to be. come their Representative. (Great hisses from the Yellows, and cheers from the Blues). He had no wish to speak in disparage ment of the Hon. and Gallant Colonel; but it could scarcely be supposed that his profession could fit hint for • seat in Parliament. He had no doubt that there was not a more gallant officer in his ; Majesty's service, but a camp was by no means the best school for j politics. (Cheers and hisses). lie wou'd, however, call upon him to profess his political opinions, and also his opinions upon the question—the important question of the Corn Laws. (Great con. fusion). He would call upon the Electors to come forward, under these circumstances, and give plumper, for Henry Brougham. (Cheers and hisses). It was unnecessary for him to enter into a a detail of the merits of that gentleman ; but he would say, that if ever there was a man who had iipappled—who had successfully grappled with the greatest difficulties, and who possessed an ardent desire to relieve his country from die burdens under which it was labouring, that man was Henry Brougham. He would also say in conclusion, that if ever there was a time when it was abso. lutely necessary to watch with a vigilant eye over the expenditure of that country. the time was the present. The Hon. Gentleman then withdrew amidst great cheering from the Blues. Lord LOWTHER then came forward, amidst very general cheer ' ing. As soon as it had in some measure subsided, he said that he had experienced the favour and confidence of the freeholders of Westmorland in three successive elections, and he felt no sort of distrust that that favour and that confidence would not then be re. newed. (Cheers.) He would then waive all declaration as to his public principles, which had so often before been discussed, and which were already so well known to the freeholders. (Cheers.) He felt extremely proud of the support which he had given to the em tlemen who ruled the nation, because of the splendid talents which many, and the strict integrity which all of them possessed. (Cheers.) All their measures were prompted with • view to pro mote the honour, the prosperity, and the character of the country. (Cheers.) He was happy to say that the energies of that country were unimpaired, and that there yet existed a spirit within it, which if insult were offered, would annihilate any country inEurope. (Cheers.) Since peace, order, and tranquillity, had been restored to the country, the Government had been assiduously occupied in modifying and consolidating the laws, and in rectifying those abuses which in the course of time had crept, and always would creep, into the hest Institutions. (Cheers.) A time of peace was of course that which was best calculated for examination into those abuses, and for putting upon a solid footing those Institutions which we designate as our excellent Constitution. (Cheers.) Since he bed the pleasure of meeting them six years ago, the Go- THE BRITISH PRESS. vernment had relieVed the country from taxation to the extent of nine or ten millions of money, besides ether imposts which were trivial in - their amount, but which were most vexatious in the col lection. (Cheers.) Surely no man could with less justice be ac rutted of a love of taxation than t!.e present Chancellor of the Exchequer. He was sure that his amiable disposition was a au Hicient security against any thing of the kind. (Applause ) lie was will ng to admit that those to whom he was opposed had proposed more sweepill reductions t but it was easy for them to do so, when they could share none of th e res ponsibili t y w hi c h utight result from such measures. This gave them, it was true, a momentary popu larity, while it tended not a little to embarrass the Government. (Applause.) Ile was happy to see hie old friend, Mr. Wybergh, there upon that occasion, though he was somewhat surprised at the bashfulness with which he began, intimating that that contest was interesting not merely to the people of Westmorland. but to the whole world. (Great laughter.) That gentleman had alluded to the new voters who were expected from a part of Cumberland ; but lie would aid: him what wits the majority in the first election, and what did that majority consist of? (here were no mush room freeholders upon that occasion. (Cheers front the Yellows.) The majority was 300, and the voters were the bona ildc electors of the county. (Cheers.) This was the time when those men from Kendal marched with blue ribands in their hats to the Crook-yard. (Cheers.) Yes, to the residence of the High Sheriff (Cheers.) What breach f the Constitution could be compared to that upon the part of the High Sheriff of the county? (Cheers.) And yet these were the poisons who thus met fur the purpose of making freeholders in every possible way—who talked of breaches of the Constitution. (Great cheering.) And if freeholders were thus brought forward, whether they were colliers or weavers, signified but little. (Great applause.) It was not merely the sister county that they sought to get within the pale of their association—all England, nay Scotland, too, was ransacked. Counsellors, re viewers, barristers--nay, even down to the printers' devils—were all pressed into this amociatios to Settler the independence of West morland. (Cheers and Imaginer.) He begged to congratulate Mr. Crackenrhorpe upon the itiaeOenderee of Newbiggen. (A laugh.) Notwitwithstanding hie reproaches against the clergy, and the many hours during which he had devoted all his eloquence to convert them, he had succeeded in producing no effect whatever. (Cheers.) He should have so many opportunities of addressing them in the course of next week, or the week after that, that he would detain them no longer. (Cheers and laughter.) He felt perfectly confident in the zeal of his friends; and although, as upon a former occasion, the show of hands might be against him, that should not deter him from going to the poll, knowing, as he did. that he possessed, if not their hands, at least their hearts (cheers); and he felt quite assured they would return the Lowthera again as their Representatives in Parliament. The Noble Lord then with drew, amidst loud cheers Mr. Wirantoit rose to explain; but so great was the noise, and the incessant cries of "Spoke, spoke !" "The Colonel, the Colonel!" that we could not catch a single syllable of what he aid. _ Colonel LOWTHER then came forward, amidst loud cheers and some tokens of disapprobation. He said, that being once more nominated as a candidate for the honour of representing the county in Parliament, he for the fourth time offered himself to their noticer (Cheers) It had been said that the third Candidate would have the majority of the resident freeholders in his favour, but that would very shortly be seen. (Hear.) He was prepared to deny that he could have the majority of the resident freeholders of the county In his favour. (Cheers.) It was very well for him to flatter him. self that such was the case ; but he would remind hint that when at the last election the numbers had been sent to the Assessors, when he found that he had no more voters, he was off. (Cheets and laughter.) If he would take the trouble to look over those votes, he would find that he was then, as he would be upon the present oc. vision, at the bottom of the poll. (A laugh.) If his (Colonel Lowther's) friends would now stick to their promises, he should be again successful. (Cheers.) He had visited the greatest part of the county, and he found his friends in every quarter most anxious to come forward and assist him. (Cheers and hisses.) Mr. Wy. leirgh talked about two of the family, and also introduced the old story about the hoed Lieutenant. He was in hopes that upon the third occasion of their meeting upon these hustings, he would have something new ; but no. he had turned that story over and over again, until, like the shirt, it was worn threadbare. (A laugh.) He had received assurances of support from all parts of the county, and therefore it was by no means likely that he should take to his heels and run away. Mr. Wybergh, in his usual witty way, had descanted upon his (Colonel Lowther's) eloquence. lie had not been brought up to the Bar, nor had he been in the habit of prac tising in Courts of Law ; he was educated in another profession, and perhaps Mr. Brougham might be as well acquainted with that profession also as he was. (A laugh.) It had been said again and again that they had bem first in the field ; but such was not the case. How, he would ask, had the present contest been got up ? By attorney's clerks, running about the county. endeavouring to obtain signatures to requisitions, and having, for ought he knew, the requisition paper in one pocket, and a subscription paper in the other. (Cheers and hisses.) These proceedings were backed up by a meeting at the City of London Tavern, at which Mr. Crackers thorpe was present. He was certainly a resident freeholder of the county, but whether there was any other than himself he knew not. (A person in the crowd cried out, " a few shipwrights.") There were besides some two or three gentlemen, who were never in the county except upon occasions like the present. What became of the Chairman at the Meeting ? Why, he weut to Beverley and was kicked out. (Cheers and laughter.) He would detain them no longer than to thank those who had given him their support and assistance. Ile had also to observe, that the independent Candidate (31r. Brougham) was already in Parliament, and what more did he want ? But they might have perceived that he was not satisfied with kicking up a dust in lVeettnorland, but he must go to the Land's End and have a turn at them there. (Great laughter.) Whether their old Representatives were at the head of the poll to-day or to-morrow was of little importance; he only entreated that they would adher e to their promises, and they might feel confident of success. (Much cheering.) Mr. BROUGHAM fien tame forward, amidst great applause. As soon as we could hear him, he proceeded as follows:—Ile had been told by the Gallant Colonel that he was already returned to Parliament, and he had been asked why he wanted any thing more ? To this he would reply, that in fact he wanted nothing for himself. (Cheers.) It was not to advocate his own interests that he then arid there came forward—he had no more interest at stake in the present contest than the humblest freeholder in the county. (Great cheering.) lf, however, the Gallant Colonel wanted to know what more he wanted, he would tell him, at the same time that he told them, though they already knew it., that he wanted to see the county of Westmoreland independent. (Cheers and hisses.) He wanted to see an end put to the domination of the Lord Lieute nant, by which one man, a Peer, a placemen and a pensioner, is enabled to nanfe two persons from his own family to represent the county In Parliament. (Cheers.) Having thus given a plain answer to that which lie admitted was a plain question, and hoping that his answer was fully comprehended by the Gallant Colonel, he should proceed to matters of greater importance. He had heard from Mr. Wilson, of Hallam Tower, at the close of his sh (and here he might be permitted to observe that the speech or th at pe Gen tleman formed a remarkable contrast to those of the Gentlemen who had preceded him), that the sense of the resident freeholders of the county was against the Blue cause. lie observed that they had twice taken the nence of the freeholders, and finding it against them, they ought not to have come forward again to disturb the hace of the county. That the sense of some portion of th e f ree . olsters was against the Blues he was willing to admit. The resi dent Clergy of the county were opposed to them, and the sense of a more powerful, though by no means a more active body, was also against them—he meant the resident attorneys. The sense of the resident placemen and resident pensioners was also against them, as was the sense of the collectors of taxes and of the distributors of stamps. These persons were all extremely active, although they knew that, by lea, they were prohibited from voting. (Cheers and hisses.) The sense of the majority of the resident Gentry might also be against them ; butall these did not constitute the red dent fre!hulders of the county. What, were none but the Gentry allowed to vote? Were not the honest grey coats of Westmoreland to express their opinion ? (Loud cheering.) By the re turn of the number of voters in the year 11120, it would appear, if the lists were compared, and the nun-residents deducted, that the majority, and he would pledge himself to the fact, were with the Blues. (Great cheering, and cries of "'No, no, with the Yellows.") If they doubted us to the fact with respect to the last election, they could surely have no objection to try the experiment again. (Cheers from both parties.) Let them make a bargain to poll none of the non-resident freeholders. (Cheers.) Let them agree to refrain from hurrying men to vote at a contest fora county with which they had no connexion, nor property neither, unless the forty shilling freehold through which they exercised their right. (From the commencement of itir. Brougham's speech, the band of Colonel Lowther had been very strenuous in their marks of disapprobation, and at this moment were more than usually vehement.) lie per. ceived that in a quarter of that meeting the sense of the people was also opposed to liiin—he meant that quarter where (be band was situated (Cheers and hisses) ; and truly a more harmonious band, or one that appeared to play in closer conc ert , h e h a d se ld om w i t . messed. (Laughter, hisses, and some cries of " N o P opery .") Aye, no Popery! It was upon such occasions as that, that that base cry was raised by those who knew better. (Cheers.) He ne ver saw an election at which the Candidates had not blushed to see that base, that hypocritical cry, blazoning in flaming characters upon their colours. (Cheers and hisses.) And by whom was it used in the present instance ? By those who pretended to be friends to the principles of Mr. Pitt, and who owed to him all the honours which decorated their house ; and yet Mr. Pitt was the very per son against whom that cry, base and senseless as it was, was pointed (Cheers) ; and he had resigned his office because, in con sequence of that cry, thus levelled at himself, he was unable to grant liberty of conscience to a large portion of his fellow-subjects. (Chaves and hisses.) Was any man requited to be a greater friend to the Constitution in Church as well as State than Mr. Pitt? and yet he was at the very head of the question called Catholic Eman. cipation, and to the end of his life continued to be its firmest sup porter. Was it necessary that any person should be more firmly attached to the welfare of the Church than the University of Ox ford ? (A perm in the crowd cried out, " We will have a Pro- testant Goveronient.") " So you will, My friend," exclaimed Mr. Brougham, " let who will be returned." (Cheers.) Yet the Uni versity of Oxford chose foe their Chancellcr nn leas a person than Lord Grenville, who went out of office with Mr. Pitt ppon that very question in 11101, and again in 1807, in conjunction with hie colleagues, and who was in fact always the stead and consistent friend of Catholi c E manc ip at i o n . (Cheers and hisses.) But it was still more remarkable that the I.Tnireetity of Cambridge had beaten down that infamous yell, and returned Lord Palmerston as their Representative in Parliament, expressly upon his principles with regard to that question. (Cheers, and also some cries of " No, no," from Colonel Lowther snd those near him on the hurtling/4 That cry, thus drawn from all its strong holds, had at last sought refuge in Westmorland, and there too, he trusted, the . , were about to give It its fi nal blow ? (Cheers.) No Popery ! it hat did it mean )lid it indicate any fear of the safety of the Established Religion of the country ? No such thing. DA it mean that there were fears abroad of the poor old Pope's coming to England ? (A laugh.) No such thing—it meant that there should be no in quiry into the abuses of charities--(Cheers and • laugh)—it meant no indepentletiee and no Bl ues i n N' estmor l an d. (M uc h c h eer i ng from the Blues.) What was meant by the cry of the Church in danger ? it meant that "my place is in danger, my pension is in danger" (Cheers and laughter), and, as applied to the Lord Lieu. tenant, it meant, " my domination in the county is in danger, and I may not be able to reduce it. according to my wishes, into the situation of a close borough." ((treat cheering, and cries of " Win. chasm." from the Yell - rms.) He had mentioned instances of several persons who were undeniably friends to the Constitution in Church and State, and yet who were favourable to the Catholic Emancipation. Ile would name one other pc:son, and that person was the King himself. (Cheers.) His Majesty had declared by a public proclamation to his Hanoverian subjects, that no civil right should be affected by any difference of religious opinion. (Cheers.) If the principle were true in Hanover, it could not be false in Eng. land ; and it his Majesty was of that opinion with respect to his foreign subjects, it would be a grant libel upon him to suppose that he was of a different opinion with regard to those at home. (Cheers.) They had heard front Mr. C. Wilson that his (Mr. Wilson's) friends were likely to have work enough upon their hands, and in truth work enough they would have; for he should not be dealing candidly with his opponents if he did not tell Stem, that if they had not enough of wotk this time, they should the next time—if not enough of work then, they should have enough another day. (Chem and cries of " bear, hear." from the Yellows.) He fully expected that the justice of their cause and their own exec. tions would give them the victory then, but If theyalosaht Via li - third time, they still would renew the combat—the Btu* cause would be fought until it triumphed. (Cheers and hisses.) He hoped, how ever, that it would not be necessary to come there a fourth time, and he called upon the Blues to effect the victory now, and to show the Gallant Colonel that in spite of their No Popery, their parsons, their tax-gath eeeee , and collectors and attorneys. and placemen and pensioners, the honest (Ircy Coats of West morland, call them gentry or not, were determined to oppose his father, and rescue from his grasp the independence of the county of Westmorland. The Honourable Gentleman then withdrew amidst very general cheering. The Sheriff then put the names of the Candidates respectively to a shew of hands, and declared the election to have fallen on the Hon. Henry Cecil Lowther and Henry Brougham, Esq. A poll was immediately demanded by Lord Lowther, and it was announced that the polling would commence at two o'clock and close at four. A few minutes, however, after the polling commenced, Mr. Bitouutta at objected to the manner in which it was carried on, upon the followir.g grounds:—Each party is allowed three agents in each polling booth. a Counsel, an A:corney, and his Clerk. Of course Lord Lowther and his brother each appointed their own agents, by which means they had in effect two agents to Mr. Brougham's the. The polling was immediately stopped, and the parties repaired to the Assessor's Court, where the matter was argued at some length. The Assessor finally declared that, as long as Lord Lowther and his brother fought under the same colours, he could allow them only the same number of agents a? the opposing Candidate. That, he said, was not a novel objection, it having been recently made at the Iluntinxdon elect'on, and it was there decided upon the same principle as he was then acting upon. Mr. Fellowes and Lori' Mandetllle had united their colours against Lord John Russell, and the same &lee ion hail been consequently taken and similarly decided upon. Lord Lowther, as we understood, objected to proceeding with the poll further that day, and it was accordingly closed until Friday morning. Prior to the commencement of the polling, • call had been made by the people for Mr. Curwen to speak, and he did at last come forward, and spoke for a few minutes. The noise was so great, however, that it was impossible to hear him. We understood him. from the little we did catch, to say, that he was there in support of the cause of independence, and not in support of any particular in. dividual ; and that if Mr. Brougham were to seek to impose his father or his brother upon the county in the same manner as was done by the Lord Lieuteaant, he should be amongst the prat to oppose him. The lion. Gentleman, after a few more observa tions, withdrew, amidst very great acclamations. At four o'clock the Sheriff announced the state of the poll to be as follows : Lord Lowther - - 10 Mr. Brougham . 6 Colonel Lowther . V I The Candidates were not upon the hustings when the state of the poll was announced, but they appeared in about half an hour afterwards, and severally addressed the freeholders. Lord Lowvsma said that it was only at that moment that he heard that the state of the poll had been declared already, but he had to return his sincere thanks to hi. friend. for having, few as were the numbers who had voted, placed him at the head of the poll. They might easily judge of his astonishment when he was informed, that by the manceuvting of his opponent die polling had been put a stop to soon after its commencement. He had not the slightest doubt but that there was a very good understanding be tween the party who had had recourse to the expedient, and the party who had given judgment as to its validity ; but it was to him altogether incomprehensible. The ground taken he under. stood was, that his interest must necessarily be amalgamated with that of his brother, and the attempt consequently made was most extraordinary and unprecedented. The Honourable Gentleman, however, might perhaps find out his error if, his and his brother's interest being now pronounced one, they should refuse to pay be. tween them more than one half of the expense of the hustings. (Great uproar.) Whatever defects might be attributed to himself; he was sure that that of making long and tedious speeches was not amongst the number. (Cheers, and a laugh.) Much had been said of his furthering his cause by means of meddling country at tomies. But from whom did this charge emanate Who had had the advantage that day amongst the lawyers ? (Cheers.) Was there any lack of them in the enemy's camp ? (Cheers.) Did they not see that very morning, and at the very moment that his opponent was objecting to his lawyers, a carriage load of them ride past the Meeting ? [Alluding to Air. Alderson's passing in his car riage while one of Mr. Brougham's friends was speaking Their arrival no doubt had a great influence upon the day's proceedings. (Cheers.) He had no doubt but that the business had been pre arranged ; nay, he would not say that the decision had not come down upon the point of law ready made up by the mail from Lon don, for it was moat certain that persons had been speaking of it out of doors long before it had been officially announced. (Cheers, and some hisses.) They might talk of the influence of the Lord Lieutenant, but what was his influence compared with that of the hereditary High Sheriff of the coun , y—that officer, wyose duty it was to choose Juries, and whose impartiality was so essentially necessary to the proper administration of justice. (Cheers and hisses.) He did not mean, however, to insinuate that any abuse had been committed by the High Sheriff in the choosing of Juries, for in other respects than electioneering mat. ten he gave him full credit for being an honourable and an im partial man. (Hear, hear, hear.) He would ask if the very cir cumstance of their resorting to such expedients did not betray the weakness of their cause? For his own part, he disclaimed such subterfuges—all he wanted was fair play. (Cheers.) He had always offered to submit such questions to some eminent Barrister, who should act as the Sheriff's assessor, and to whom not a sha dow of suspicion of partizanship could be by possibility attached. But these offers had been rejected, and this was a material disad vantage which he had to contend with. His friends had been re probated for inscribing certain mottos on their standards ; but he rejoiced, if the sentiments there expressed were indeed those enter tamed by his friends, that they had the courage to avow them. (Cheers.) With respect to the cry, as it was called, of ' No I)opery," what was there dishonourable or disgraceful in uttering it ? (Hear, hear.) Surely the advocates for freedom of opinion ought to be the last to persecute them for avowing any set of opi nions which they sincerely entertained. (Cheers.) Upon the question for giving political power to the Catholics there was a great difference of opinion, and there was no reason why persons might not hold conscientious opinions upon the one side as well.aa upon the other. (Cheers and hisses.) By the Hon. Gentleman the support of Popery had been made synonimous with reform ; but it was the first time that he (Lord Lowther) had heard of any thing liberal as associated with the Papists. Let them look all over Europe, and ask themselves whether liberal institutions were either promoted or permitted by the spirit of Popery. If they looked to France, they would perceive that its best institutions were in danger of being overturned by the ambition and the intrigu ing of the Jesuits, whose proceedings were enough to spread alarm throughout all Europe. (Cheers and hisses.) Their objects were undoubtedly to subdue the Press, to stop the Trial by Jury (cries of " No, no," from the crowd) ; and, in short, they had entered into a general conspiracy against the liberties of mankind. (Cheers and hisses.) The Hon. Gent. had said, that the party which ground ed itself upon the " No Popery" cry was everywhere beat down at the present elections; but how was he borne out in that aster. than ? Let them look to Yorkshire, to which the right of election had been transferred from a rotten borough in Cornwall, because the electors suffered themselves to be bought. In Yorkshire the new Members were professed enemies to the Papists. He believed that the ensuing Parliament would be the most complete " No Popery" Parliament which had ever sat since the year 11)06. At Exeter, Lincoln, York, Norwich, and indeed at all the princi pal towns of the kingdom, public opinion preponderated in favour of those men who were opposed to that which the Liberals termed concession to the Catholics, but what he called giving power to a set of men who held a divided allegiance between the State and an Italian Priest, whom they called the Pope. (Cheers and hisses.' He had no opinion of such loyalty. In private he was ready to accord to many of the Catholics such tribute as was justly due to their worth ; but, so long as he had a voice in the Public Assem bly of the Nation, he would keep up an unyielding and an uncom promising opposition to their -ins. (Cheers.) It had been said that the principles of that religion were changed ; but was it not amongst the boasts of its profanes, that their principles were not clanged? Let their past coodnet speak for them. Was not a Catholic King expellsi bon the Throne of yai g land in 1688, and were the Bill of Nights, mid the ether advantages which liberty gained in the Revolution,* berm basal y given away to men who, true to their immutable pelltelploo, would emit all Me liberal in stitutions of the country, if eenidnnee win get them w i t hi n their grasp The Noble 1 dray .4 nest adverted to the circumstance of a paper having been pet bee hie Ikeda that morning, after his leaving the hustings, *ad by the Hen. Member for Cumberland (Mr. Curwen), in which paper Me expressed his disapprobation of any contest for the county of Westmochuid. After such a doctors don, ii seemed rather late in the day for him to come iorwaseow4 pronly to support a contest; but as there was seldom smoke nigh.: out fire, it might, upon investigation, be partible to find an ea: planation for his conduct. By withholding his name from Mr. Brougham's requi.itton—popurly so called, as not being that of the county—the lion. :tienther reelared his disapprobation of a contest. Bdt it appeared that he bad received softie Load hints for writing . that letter, and he (Lord Lowther) much doubted if lt woo erer intended fur publication. It, however, P trongl Stayed the spirit of the party which claimed to act i ently, for an intimation *as clearly conveyed to the Hostemillid Member, that careless he wrote that letter an oppoteition would be created against bier in Cumberland. He could not take leave of this subject without observing. that for the Honourable Member for Cumberland he hail the highest respect, and of all man upon his (311 r. Curwen's) side of the House he believed him to be the most independent. lie had often seen him quit his party and vote with Ministers. lie regretted, thinefore, that he should here made a speech upon that ' , maims which was so inemssisterit with his first impression, that there ought to be no a:boost for the musty. (Cheers.) Colonel LOWTHER then said thane result of the day's pell war to htunhug him. It was one of the mach*** things that had ever been done by any parrot.. Their tricks, however, chewed their weakness. They wished to bring up the same bad votes as they had upon the last oe mum ; and of cottrse they could not be ex., peewit to remain quiet, while they (Lord Loutherand himself), had a due number of persons to examine into those votes and to quash them. Mr. Brougham had stated that he had a majority of the resident freeholders at the last elation. Such was not the case. At the first election, himself and his brother had a majority of 230_ and that majority would have been still greater at the last election if the votes were atrictly looked into. Who, he would ask, begets the system of out-voters? Mr. Brougham talked of collies from Whitehaven. but who was the first person thatismoght colliers No that county ? Was it not his friend Mr. Lanabton, of Dothan, whoqualified himself, and made his Colliers do the same, to order to vote for Mr. Brougham. But with tome people, that which was right in one care, was wrong in another, if that other happens/ be against them. They should see to.tworrow, what masse be meant to take, but they were prepared for hint in any war. They were not to be frightened. (" Oh ! wait till Saturday," from a person in the crowd.) They would stick to the pall to the last, and he hoped their friends would exert themselves to keep thew at the heath of it. (Cheers.) Mr. Bnovonem, on presenting himself, was received wide three cheers. He said that he felt it was very difficult, if it wee at all necessary, to answer what had been advertent by both of the Candidates who had preceded him, because he did not hear a great deal of what had fallen from oar, and not a word oftettat fell flan the other. (A laugh.) This, however, was not • er their fault, but rather that of th e p eo pl e , wit h whom h i e li Z et s i t i " crew' to pluck" in consequence, for he had a great curiosity to hear what they could say, if the assembled freeholders would on?y let What little he did hear from the first Candidate related se the obi " No Popery" story, and 'to the conduct of the Sheriff and of his letrned rise soy. With rswet to these last, they acted under an official responsibility before the eyes of their countrymen, and under the controllof Parliament, to which they were responsible; but he thi u.;ht the long and unsullied life of the learned Assessor. Mr. flay wow*, ought to secure for him that confidence which he de. served at their hands, and which it would undoubtedly meet wilts in Parliament, if any one was hardy enough to question it. He un- - derstood that the decision which had given so much discontent to the gentlemen ott the other side, so far from its being unprece dented, as the Noble Lord had alleged that it was, was exactly the same as that given a few days ago by an N•SeSAOT of known Mi. Mete ial principles--he meant the learned Aim Yew for the coun II uningdon, against the two Candidates woo were there o Iris Noble Friend, hoed John Russell. It seemed as if they saw have another word about the Pope before the dal closed. [ewes rather hard upon him, who was not an officer of Gomm. tnent, and who received no part of its emoluments, to be called upon so often to defend it. (Cries of •• Hear, hear, hear.") He never expected that he should have such a duty to perform, and he could assure them that, coming as it did rather by surprise upon him, it was not of all others the most agreeable. It was &duty. however, which in c a nd our an d f a i rness h e owed to them,ler all the cry of " No Popery" did not apply to himself one whit more forcibly titan to one.half of his Majesty's Minister's (Cheers) — to one.half as tar as regarded numbers—to nine-tenths of than in respectability, and to more than that as far art regarded talents, information, and statesmanlike accomplishments; but to ninety nine out of a hundred of them, as regarded reputation and pope. laity in the country. (Cheers.) The Chancellor of the Excite quo, about whom so much had been so justly end deservedly said, held exactly the same opinion with respect to the Catholic question that was held by himself, and voted also as he did upon it. Mr. Canning also, the leading man in the Home of Commons, and by no means the least liked in the country or least respected in Parliament, devoted himself to that question, and he went out of office with Mr. Pitt upon it. (Cheers.) Mr. Canning oats the ablest advocate of that cause, for supporting which the try of " No Popery" was now raised wins/. him (31r. Brougham). In the .House of Lords, too, L r.I Harrowby, Mr. Pitt's old and intimate friend, indeed one of the oldest of his personal friends, filling one of the highest offices of the state, being President of the Council, was a decided friend to the Catholic Question, and testified his support of that cause regularly by his vote—that temp., about which all this senseless cry had been raised of " No Popery," and " the Cnurch in danger." So that it would be perceived that if he erred at all, he erred in very good company. (Cheers.) There was another thing he wished to remind them of before they separated. It had been stated by • very respectable gentleman who had pro. posed one of the Candidates, that though he agreed generally with that Candidate in opinion, yet there were points upon which their opinions did not coincide. He should like to know whether the very point in dispute, that of Catholic Emancipation, was not, as he suspected it was, one of the points upon which they differed. (Loud cheering.) With respect to the poll, he had made no great pro greas that day, but he hoped that the Blues would do better to. morrow ; and by that eme to-morrow evening, when he came to return them thanks, he expected to be enabled to congratulate them upon the great progress he should by that time have made. The lion. Gentleman then retired amidst great cheering, after which the people quietly dispersed. Amongst the persona present, we noticed on the hustings Lord Pollington, Sir James Graham, Sir Philip Musgrave, Mr. Mar. shall, son of Mr. elarshall of York, the Right Honourable he Low 31r. Beckett, and Ale. IVordsworth t h e poet, w i th several other persons i n influence in t county. The unsel engaged are, for thther', Mr. Harrison. 31.. Holt, Mr. Raincock, and Mr. Jeteott ; and for Mr. Brougham. Mr. William Brougham and Mr. Alderson. FRIDAY (SIECOND DAY The polling recommen ce d t hi s morning at nine o'clock, and ) ans tinned with considerable brisknesa. There is a booth allotted so each ward, and as the freeholders approached in more than ordinary numbers towards any of these booths, they were loudly cheered lay their respective partizans. The hands of both parties are coats nuttily pending th e streets; an d i t i s, b y the way, not a litzlesinga lar, that they have very little distinction in their music, whatever there may be in th e i r co l ours . Amongst the airs whic h are lochs. criminately played by bo t h, are—" Hearts of Oak "—•' Will you come to the Bower"—" The dowfall of Paris:" so that, in tact. there is no distinguishing between them without exercising the organs of vision. An additional number of weavers from Carlisle entered the town last night and Chia morning, and it has been said that there has been something like a battle, in which the colours of the yellows had been torn. I have seen most of those colours since then, however, and they bear no marks of violence about them. Indeed, although there is great apparent enthusiasm displayed on both sides, yet there appears to be no symptoms of hostilities, ex. rcpt where the combatants have become inebriated. Since writing the above I have witnessed two or three skirmishes, which threatened something like serious consequences. Attacks were made by the Blues upon the Yellow band and their colours, three of which I understand have been torn to pieces. A short time prior to the hour of declaring the poll, the Yellow bandit bad quitted the streets, and a great number of the Blues numbed through them, with sticks and bludgeons in their hands, and after wards escorted the Blue band to the committee-room near the bust.. Logs: Nothing serious, however, has happe ne d, an d both bands were subsequently ordered in by the respective Committees. Seem time beftre the Sherillappeared on the hustings to declare the poii, an old man, 74 years of age, addressed the electors at some length in favour of the Blue., but we were unable, owing to the noise, to catch say thing of what he said. Immediately after be hail retired, Lord Molyneux was observed by the people, and called upon to come forward and address the freeholders. Lard AlotArern x then prevented himself, but the noise still continuing, we could hear but little of what he said. He was glad. he said, to find that he was not altogether a stranger in the county of ‘Vestmoreland, in the independence of which he felt the deepest interest, having twice before been present at the struggles foe its achievement. (Cheers,) The Noble Lord, after making shoe far ther observations which we were unable to hear, adverted to the No Popery cry which had been raised in the county, and which vale unworthy altogether of the liberal character and *dings 4f the people or England. (Great cheering.) He Reedit a meaty where he was surrounded by Catholics, and from peeled ebNeVediel sod experience, he could declare, that better sr lime add* melt there were not in existence, nor men who were ditherer Meads or better neighbours.

They had heard e very d a y the sposehas of the Noble Lord and of th e Honourable Colonel, a nd i t was air theta to my whether either of those Gentlemen were so rig • Mr. Brougham to represent them in Parliament. (Criss of ' 6 *swill have Brougham ' from the crowd.) He then thanked then the she hearing they had given him, and withdrew amidst very general cheers.
