LTNCOJN tr .............401001......... ' THE NOMINATION. ...„ , JANCOUN, Nov, --TheOK utmost activity pre vailed here this morniinr*Ong thefriends of the Candidates. The scene which presented itself here was one of unusual inte rest. Froin a very early hour In the morning the freeholders continued to pour into the tam from' every side : those who were in the interest of Sir JoIIN TBOROLn supplied them. selves immediately on their arrival with the ribands (light blue) of his . party. . The colour of Sir Wit. INGILBY is very dark blue; but we saw very few until a short time before the hour of momination. The hustings were erected in front of the Cas. tleas is usual in County Meetings, and consisted of, some deals laid across three or four waggons. At a little after .eleven o'clock several of the friends of both parties had placed .them selves in front of the hustings, each party wearing the colour of his favourite. The arrival of Sir RonEnT titnoN was hailed with loud cheers. Col..Jowiesoei soon after made his appear ance; and was received with shouts by the Thorold party.— That of some of the leading , friends in Sir William In gilby's interest was also marked by 'loud cheering from ehis friends. When Colonel Johnson arrived, a large light blue rfing was hoisted at one end of the hustings, bearing the inscription s --" Supp Art the Standard of Independence." At the other end was Sir William's flag of dark blue, with the wards-- . ." Ingilby for ever," in gold letters. A little before twelve, loud shouts, mixed with the sound of mar tial music, announced the approach of Sir William In gilley. lie was in an open carriage, which was drawn to .the hustingeby a large party.9f voters. The Hon. Baronet was ac compenied in the carriage by Sir Charles Anderson . , and three or four other gentlemen. Ye Musical band preceeded, and a procession of about fifty freeholders on horseback brought up the rear. The crowd : befere theimstings was at this time very considerable, and some - difficulty was experienced in getting the carriage along. It was, however, brought up, the horsemen still keeping their position immediately in its rear. This last circumstance occasioned very considerable inconvenience and confusion among the surrounding crowd, and had well nigh pro. duced consequences of the most serious. nature. The equese trians kept shouting and waving hats for Sir Williatneand in 'their zeal for the success of their friend, seemed utterly to have forgotten that the toe of their surrounding neighbours (who for the greater part wore the favours of Sir John Thorold) were exposed Mem slight risk front the prancing of steeds. The fact was, the horses, evidently. not well broke in to move in regular line, evinced restiveness at the extraordinary din by which their ears were assailed, and capered about without the slightest respect of persons. The party most exposed to danger from eheir awkward manoeuvres, endeavoured -to .get rid of them by striking the horses with their sticks. This some of the eques trians resented, by returning the blows on the heads of the as sailants. The quarrel was instantly taken up by the parties surrounding, and several angry blows were exchanged on both sides. :Each party was encouraged by the shouts of their friends, and at thil moment the want of room alone,,and not the want of inclinathin, seems to prevent the row from becoming gene ral ; but this could not be in the thickly state of the space they occupied. A sudden rush from all sides towards the parties engaged, brought them into such close contact that they were deprived of the power of exertion, and ceased us if by mutual consent. The horsemen then left the crowd as boon as way could be made for them, and peace was restored. At 12 o'clock, the High-Sheriff (Sir W. E. WELBY) took' his station in the ~ vindow which overlooked the hustings, and opened the business of the day. Be appeared there, he said, in obedience to the•liing'e writ, to preside at the election of a fit and proper person to represent the county. in Parliament, in the room of their late Member Mr. Pelham, now Lord Yar. borough. Several Gentlemen, he observed, would have to address them on this occasion, and to each and every one of them lie begged that the meeting would give most patient hearing. Atter the several parties were proposed, lie would take the sense of the freeholders by a show of hands. He con cluded by stating, that, he was then ready to hear what any freeholder had to offer. I, The Rev. Sir Cites. A NnERSOX, Dart., came forward, and addressed the meeting. lie commenced by expressing his deep. regret ,at the circumstance which was the occasion of .their as. seinbling —viz. the des tit of the late Lord Yarborough, • upon. 4 1 8 whose character in his everal relations of parent, friend, and landlord, he pronou ed a very warm eulogium.. While the Bev. Ilaronet wan proceeding in this part of his Address, there were frequent cries in the crowd of " Give us the character of Sir Win. Ingilby—that's what we want; let the dead rest."— The Hon. and Rev. Baronet next adverted to the political Prin. ciples of their late Member, which lie said were shriller to his own ; and he was daily becoming more roulette(' to °them. be cause lie felt convinced that an adherence to them would best maintain our admirable constitution—would be the best safe p;uard for the prerogatives of the Crown and the privileges of the people. Here the noise in the crowd became coileiderebie„ and Ave could not distinctly catch tie-_ lion. -Baronet's Observa tions for some moments : when we dill again hear him, he was alluding to the conduct of the present Chancellor Of the EX chequer in hie late 'financial operations, for which, he Observed, that Riglialion. Gent. was entitled to the highest praise.-- (Some disapprobation and cries of " He could not avoid it,")-- He also gave great credit to the WhigSfor the zeal with which they supported all measures of economy and 'retrenchment. --He next adverted .to the character . and principles of his Honourable ,Friend (Sir William Ingilby) who stood beside him. Ile (Sir William) was a friend to reform,- and attached firmly to all the principlee.of our constitution. His connexions in the county were most respectable, and he had no doubt, that if the Freeholders of Lincoln elected hint as their Representa tive, they would.find in him all the qualities of an active and efficient member of Parliatuent. They would find him a watch ful g uardian of the public purse, and most faithful in g uardin g and protecting the rights and 'privileges of his constituents. — (Cheers, mixed with considerable disapprobation.)—He theree fore .begged leave to propose Sir Wm. Arricotts Ingilby, Bart., as edit and pxoper.person,to serve in Parliament for the county, in the room of the late Member Mr. Pelharn, now Lord Yarbo rough. 'Loud:disapprobation from the supporters of Sir John ThOrold , followed thin nomination, min fled with iie loud cheer* from the opposite party. Freak several of the former there were cries of " We do not want the nominee of Lord Yarborough" —" No strangers here"—" We have plenty of independent gentlemen of our own county"---" Lincoln wants no Yorkshire man to represent it." These, and several similar ones, opposed by criesof "Ingilby for ever f " for a considerable time, pre vented our bearing the gentleman who seconded the nomina tion, end even then we heard Mtn but at intervals. Major en AYC BOP T seconded the nomination. He observed: that the relationship in which he stood to the Hon, baronet (MajorCrayeroft IS, we understand, Sir William's brother-in law) would not have induced him to second his nomination fox the county, if he were not fully convinced that he was per feetly qualified to discharge faithfully the high and important duties of that hopourable station. The Freeholders of Lincoln i would at all times find in Sir William a zealous and active AK. serter of their.beet rights and privileges, and a devoted adhe rent on all questions to the true interests of the cOuntry.....(Ap. Ipleuee and iiieapprobatiOn.) - • , - . Colonel Joffe:sow next presented himself, and teas received with loud and continued cheering, mixed with some disuppro.l ballet) from some among Sir Win. Ingilby's friends. Ile Pe- i l gnu by,assuring the freeholeters,.that in putting himself forward ; on this occasion he was actuated by public principles and pule: ' lie principles only. Whatever hie private feelings might be, he would not interfere , but in discharge of his public tluty,-. 1 (Cheers.)—He was equally ttniiifidenced by Principles of private . 1 friendehip on the one hand, as he was by any feelings of personal' animosity on the other. He came before them as a .private gentleman, to vindicate thelionour ottlie county, and he , calleti. upon the freeholders to secondleini in the attempt.—(Cheers, and Criesof "We will.")--With' the Hon. Baronet who had 1 . been filet proposed.to , them;had no acquaintance; but he., was ready and willing to adi-" lie nie 411 the•good qualities which , . were said to belong to him. 1i wit';, however, the duty of the iheelielders to elect as their iipreeeneative one whom they Ohl know, mid in whom from ,that knoWledge they could confide. Coining there, as Sir Wzri;'lngilby did, under the conjure. of Lord Yarborough—under the colours' of the Tory faction from York—what were they to think of his principles.? lie came be fore them with an address the most extraordinary he had ever seen from a ' candidate, to those he proposed toi make ilia con. stituents. ' There was contained in it a taunt on the whole county--.that it possessed within it no gentleman who was qitelilied to become its repreeentative. He (Colonel Johnson) knew the honest yeomen of Lincoln too well not to be con vinced that they only.: wanted to know how they were to exert themselves in order to be efficiently represented. That opportunity they now possessed, and they had only to give thtir suffrages, for Sir John Thorold, in order to have a representative whom they knew and who, would steadfastly adhere to • their best interests. If he should not make himself underatood on this occasion, he should have sufficient time in the course of the next fourteen days, during which the election would most certainly be prolonged. He Stitt this without any ill-feelings to any party. When once the election was open, it would be out of Its power to stop it. The cause was that of the freeholders, and that they should support . it.—(Clicers,)—Sir William Ingilby came, amongst them ; as a Whig candidate, If this was a specimen of Lord Yarbarmigh's management, the sooner the freeholders took their entre into their own nominate better.—(Clieers.)—Before this he hid. not seen an instance of letters being actually ad.- dreesed by a person in behalf of a candidate; and as an honest freeleilder he chultrnot sit down tamely under the insult; Cir. eufnetances had•pievented.him,from being in the county at the time, but when he had heard it; lie did his best to counteract the mischief, for he could not brook to see Lord Yarborough em eail y can s easing the county in behalf of Sir Wiliam Ingilby. He need not inform the fiteliolderi, that there could not be a blacker crime in the eyes of the constitution,, than such inter ference of a Peer, in that which had ever been justly held the most sacred and valuable privilege of the people.—(Cheers.)— If Peens should thus usurp the right of the people in the nomi nation of Members to the House of Commons, how was it pos sible ever to expect that there should be a fair representation ? It was snid, that Sir J. Thorold had not come forward himself 'on this occasion. If he.had, where would .Sir W.lngilby be at the present moment P Without meaning any personal of , fence, lie would say, that had Sir J. 'rhorolti declared himself before now, Sir William, would not have dared to shoat his head in the contest. The freeholders were now in the situa tion of men whose country was invaded, they might point to one per-gen. and say, he is .the best to repel the invader.— It was not for the party's() nominated to decline. The free holders might have him if they wished. Their object was to get an honest man, whom they well knew, and to choose him, no matter whether' he liked it or not. That Sir J. Thorold was a gentleman in whoth they might confide, they all knew, and it was unnecessary for him to- dwell upon that part. They had seen his benevolence of disposition in his late reduction of his rents, full twenty per cent., and no doubt he would reduce further, if circumstances called for it. In a word, he was an honest man, and every reliance might be placed on him. The Hon. and Rev. Baronet, who had proposed Sir 'William In.. gilby, had dwelt much in praise of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer. What had that to do. with this election ? This was the nomination of a Whig candidate. The Chancellor of the Exchequer was no Whig —never voted with them on any of the great questions that he had heard of—never sat on the Whig .side of the house. What, then, could the Hon. Gentleman mean - by praising Ministers on such an occasion ? Was he looking .for support. on that side too ? If he was, the free holders might judge froth the language of the proposer what was likely to be ti„ie ;future conduct of the candidate. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by proposing Sir John Hayford Thorold as a fit. and , proper person to. represent the county in Parliament. He was certain that, if elected, Sir John would have no hesitation in accepting the honour. This proposition was received with very loud cheering. -- • Mr. Box:wen, a respectable-looking yeoman, came for ward and seconded this nomination. He acted, he said, on this occasion, in' the discharge of his conscientious duty, as an honest freeholder. He thought Sir John would be a most ac tive and faithful representative. He (the speaker) had now done his duty, anti he trusted his brother freeholders would discharge theirs. To their hands he would leave Sir John Thorold, c,onfidentlhat he might do so with a certainty of suc cessee-(Cheers.) Sir Was. INGILBY now came forward, and was received with mingled shouts of applause and hisses, which were so fre quently repeated in the course of his speech that many parts of it were-rendered wholly inaudible. As far as we, could collect his remarks, he began by expressing his thanks to the Hon. Baronet (Sir C. Anderson) for the very handsome manner in which be had proposed him, and also his Hon. relative for se conding the nomination. The freeholders well knew the chin. racter of Sir Charles Anderson, and they must be certain that he would not propose foe their representative any man in whom they might not fully confide for a faithful discharge of the duties of his station in Parliament. Sir Charles had known him (Sir W. Ingilby) for 30 years, and was perfectly acquaint.. ell with his prineiples. It had been objected to him, that he commenced Ms canvass for the county by personal invective against individuals, and by a taunt on the county itself, as having in .it no gentleman of independence qualified to repre sent it. Ile would now declare that he had no intention of offering any offenee to the county or any feeling of persona' hostility to any gentleman in it. With, respect to Sir Robert Heron, who bad at first offered himself, he could assure him that he bad no intention whatever of making any imputation offensive to his personal feelings. He bad spoken of him only in his public character. Sir _Robert Heron had already a Feat in. laarliament ; but if he were not in Parliament, and had offered himself for the county, he could assure him, that lie would never have Come forward to dispute his claim ; but having already a scat in Parliament, be thought his recent application for a Seat for the count) looked like a monopoly.—. to which be Wa3*ltOt disposed to submit. He appeared befote them as an independent country gentleman, and he would say, in answer to allusions about his supposed dependence upon a Noble fiord, that lie was as ;:dependent of Lord Yarborough, or any other Lord in the land, as any gentleman who then heard him. He damn come forward on the support of the aristo cracy. ,He did not look for his return to the Pelham family, or to any other family in particular. He looked to the freeholders —the "40s. freeholders—for support, end upon their holiest suffrage he relied. Why had the Hon. Baronet (Sir R. Berm) determined to withdraw his canvass? Because, as he said him- Self, he could not get the support upon which he had relied.— He (Sir W. 1 ngleby) letilted fur the support of the high and the low 4 the.4os. and the rich.--(Cheers'.)—With respect to nny fc,:ling of aniniosity cgainst any party, he begged again to state that he Whilied this contect to he conducted without any such feeling; and here he also begged to disclaim the officious zeal of two anonymous writers who had sent forth some letters in some of the newspapers in his behelf, Against Sir John Tho rold he had no feeling of hostility. and if that Hon. Baronet had come forward and declared - 11rnsell a candidate for the county, he could assure the Meeting that lie would not have opposed him, nor would lie hay.; opposed any other independent gentleman of the county.—(Here Some person in the crowd called out—" You short the white feather.")—Sir William continued*" Ay, gentlemen, you may have seen the white feather in this place before, but depend upon it you will not see it at present. 1 remember that 30 years ago, when cock. fights were more in use than at present, the cock which show ed the white feather—which turned tail from its antagonist first, had its head twisted off. You may rest assured that' shall not do so here. I am hot one of those who desert a cause they have once undertalcen."—(Cheers.)—He then continued. Co-. lonel Johnson had said the county was invaded. He saw no invasion. At least it was not on his side, for never before did he see an instance in which there seemed to be such a union ofl all ranks of great and small freeholdere, as he was proud to 1 say had, been evinced towards himself on the present occa vier). The Hon. COlonel had talked of the contest being kept open for fourteen days. With all his (Sir William Ingilby's) heert. He had no objection to this appeal to the sense of the freeholders. He was not one who would bring the people to gether, and afterwards abandon them.—(Cheers and some Ws approbation.)—A s to his principles, he would tell the freeholders that they were as independent as those of any gentleman in the county. He did not hang upon the opinions of any man, of any Whig Lord—or Tory Lard, or Radical Lord. He appeared before them as firm as a rock on his own bottom.—(Laughter.)— Allusion had been made to Mr. Robinson, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as connected with his (Sir William's) prin ciples. He would tell them that lie would support the finan cial plans of that Right Hon. Gentleman if they were similar to those of the last session ; 'and there was not a man in the as sembly 13efore.him, from the top to the bottom, who would not be disposed to do the same. Had not the Chancellor of the Ex chequer told them that lie was going to take off'the remainder of the assessed taxes; and was there one amongst them who would • not support such a proposition ?—(A voice in the crowd— " He must take them off, if we can't pay them.")—There was • another point also' on which lie would support him. The Right Hon. Gentleman lied pledged himself' to abolish lotteries—a suedes of gambling the most destructive to exertion by honest industry. To lie sinte, a prize of 20,0001, would be a good thing', but who ever got it ? But whether it was got or not, the, principles on Which the system rested were those of gamb lingewhich was, more than almost any other vice, destructive the Morals of society, by cutting at the very roots upon which society in this country had itehasis.—the exertions of the industrious:—(Cheers;)—There were also some snug sinecure places connected with this lottery which would no doubt be abolished. It was iii acts such as these that he would support the Right tion. Gentleman, and he maintained that it was the _,duty of a truly independent Man not to feel any repugnance in supporting the adthinietration of the country when its acts were likely to be attended with benefit to the country.—(Clieera.)— T he Hon. Baronet their Wen t on to state, that it was in os t erroneous to describe him as the nominee of anyLord,,or of any man. He denied the • assertion. He made his appeal to the Freeholders at large, and by their decision lie would standin. fall. In con clusion lie alluded . to the present state of the country, and ex . presseda hope that by the honest exertions of every independ ent man, we should see the day when this country would be raised to het proper station--the envy of surrounding nations, and the admiration of the world.—(Cheers, mingled with some disapprobation.) Sir ROBERT HERON next addressed the freeholders, and was loudly cheered by nearly the whole of the multitude before the hustings. He said, that after the perfect goad humour with width the Hon. Baronet ('Fir Wm. Ingilby) had addressed them, and after the gentlemanlike manner in which he dis claimed any intention of personal insult in any thing which had been done in his canvass, to the county ; it behoved him (Sir Robert) to beg the lion. Baronet and the meeting to receive any thing which he might have to offer, in any other sense than that oleo intentioUto offer personal offence. What he should say would apply wholly to his public character. Of his private character he did riot mean to speak any .farther then that he never knew any thing against it. Before he went to any other topic, he begged to say a few wotds with respect to a hand bill which had been circulated by Sit William Ingilby!s Committee--[the hand-bill which announced that fair One ol to be ,Thorold had declined the contest] —and he regretted to see it improper signed by an Honourable end Re vere nd Baronet, for whom per sonally he had the highest respect. He regretted to see hisn ame to it, becalm he thought the document a most circulated, under the circumstance=s of the case, e did not mean in any degree to inipute 'a willfully false representation to the Hon. Barn, or to any gentleman of the CotrunitWa but „ • ~ , *lost undoubtedly die liainl-b111" had a tendeney to produce an 1 impression not borne out by the facts of the case—a colouring to them which in - strictness they ought not to hear.' He regret. ted this the more, as the known respectability of Sir Charles Anderson's character was calculated to give a currency to the statements which they would not otherwise acquire. It was said, not onlY that declined, 'but John Thorold had declined 'but that he t (Sir Robert Heron) would state his unwillingness tole propos ed on the hustings on the day of nomination. If th a t was b e . ieved to be the fact, why islionlei it tot be left to himself to de clare it in the proper time 0 It iesseevidently &moot to pre vent Sir Wm. ingilby's friends from attending, for pains were taken that they should-attend in great numbers, but to prevent the attendance of those who were known to be favourable to Sir John Thorold ; and he had no doubt that but for that cir. cumstance there would have been a much more numerous at tendance of the light blues (the Thorold colours) on thil occa sion. With respect to Sir John Thorold himself, he weiuld say no man felt more strongly, or could have a higher or more graseful sense of the honour which was done him in every part of the county on this occasion. lie considered it,whatevee might be the result, as he highest honour conferred on him ; but he could not and would not offer himself to represent the county in' Parliament.—.(A freeholder in the crowd here asked whether if Sir John were returned he would be willing to serve ?)—Sir R. Heron 'aid he would answer that question in the course of his speech. He then proceeded. Sir John Thorold, with the mo desty which belonged to men of real merit, urged that his state of health would not permit him to attend to the duties of a situa tion in Parliament as assiduously as he should be disposed to do if he were elected. It might also be said that the happiness whiJi the Honourable Baronet enjoyed in the bosom of his family, was a reason which induced him to decline the proposed honour. This was highly honourable to his feelings as a man. There was, however, another reason which operated mien him. He was one, and not the only one, of his (Sir R. Hiron's) friends; who on his declining the contest, gave a pro mise of their support to Sir Wm. Ingilby. That promise, was given unconditionally, and lie (Sir John Thorold) ears felt himself in honour bound to keep it, and nut offer himself for the county. But in answer to the question just put to him by the freeholder, he would s a y, th a t th oug h hencould not offer himself, he (e;ir R. Heron) could assure the freeholders, that if they elected him, they would find him a most efficient represen tative—one who would at all times be ready to sup Port their best interests.-..(Cheers.)—He (Sir John Thorold) could not, for the reasons assigned, offer himself for their suffrages, but the same reasons did not operate upon elieur; :mid if they did. their duty in electing him without his solicitation, ht no doubt would discharge his duty in accepting the trust, and executing it with zeal and fidelity. Having said time much for his Honourable Friend he would-now- say a few words with respect to himself. lie had come forward for' the honour of their representation. The Honourable Berenet here entered into a detail' of many circumstances which hid operated upon him in receding from the contest ; among which the principal Was, that having perceived on a recent occasion the apathy of the freeholders in the cause of reform, lie did not think the reformer could expect much zeal in his behalf; be sides, thinking at the same time that Sir W. Ingilby was'of the same party with himself, he was unwilling by a contest to give to their political adversaries an opportunity of taking advantage of the disunion amongst the reformers (taking it for granted at the time that Sir Wm. Ingilby was one.) Sir Rohert next adverted to the conduct of Sir William Ingilby in the course of his canvass, which lie represented as commencing in invec thte against his public character (as he now explained it,) but it happened unfortunately that he (Sir Robert Heron) has as much respect for his public character as his private. The Honourable Baronet had said, that lie (Sit Robert Heron) was not an independent man. He would now tell him (to the freeholders it, was unnecessary to say it, for they all knew him too well to require an explanation of his conduct), that there existed not a man under Heaven in whom he admitted a right to controul his conduct or vote in any one particular.— (Cheers.)—An anonymous writer had called upon him to compare himself with Sir William Ingilby. He • was not in the habit of comparing himself with any man. Ile was well known to them all, and he required no comparisons. But the Honourable Baronet (Sir Wni. Ingilby) had rested his claim on his property, and he ealked of it as if he held it as the Arche bishop of Canterbury held hiS see, " by divine dispensation," .and not by the death of his father, from whom .he inherited it ; and long might he live to enjoy it. The Hon: Baronet next told the freeholders of an Amcotts, of whom in his (Sir Robert Heron's) conscience, he believed, the freeholders knew as little as they wished to know of his descendant..—(Cheers.)—But as the lion. Baronet had talked of him in hie public character, lie would now say a few, wordy of his (Sir. William Ingilby's) pub lic character ; and this, perhaps, would be the more necessary, as the freeholders were not acquainted with - hitri.--(Cheera.)— , The Hon. Baronet sat for the borough of Itetford in 1007. The 'freeholders might judge something of his political principles by his conduct since then. There were many public questions agitated since that period the question of reform—that re specting the. Duke of York—the Waleheren expedition.— 'VA!, on these and other important topics' it appeared that in that time Sir William Ingilby voted . only once against Ministers, and that on a preliminary question respecting .the droits of Admiralty ; but that was only for the produc tion of some papers. But it so happened that in the last year of a Parliament, a new light breaks in upon some Members. They see then a little .more clearly on many imnortant questions than they have done for the five or *six weeks preceding. Illuminated by a faint glimmering of this kind, SirVilliam Ingilby did see a little more clearly, and in that year it appeared that he voted three time? against Mini eters. One motion was for a Committee on Irish Affairs, and on two other occasions on questions of Reform. Just (continued Sir Robert Heron) as a man might go to a minitter and say, ." My dear Lord, I must give one or two votes against you, just to gratify, the people before whom I. have to. appear. . You must allow me to be against you on a few questionsi i just to please the people."—(Cheere and laughter.)—But the onour. able Baronet said that he was a Reformer. Let there look how he showed his consistency in that respect. He did not attend •at the Reform Meetings at Lincoln, which he. now ,wished to he thought his' county ; but he did attend at some two or three meetings for Reform in Yorkshire ; but •in that same county lie voted for Lord Lascelles and -Mr. Wilber force against Lord Miltoh ; and in Lincoln he voted for Mr. Chaplin against him (Sir C. Heron,) in Lincolnshire. I say, then (continued Sir Robert Heron) that he is.wholly unquali fied to represent this county in Parliament." With respect to Lord Yarborough, he would say, that he gave him (Sir Robert Heron) anoppoeition in a manner which was wholly unexpect ed on his part. He could not account for this opposition to him who bad voted with the Noble Lord when in the House ofCom. mons on most public questions, and the favour shown to onewho had opposed him on almost every important occasion. The lion. Bart. then proceeded to speak of the merits and qualifications of Sir John Thorold, whom he said he had known from his in fancy. He would not, he said, dwell farther upon hi s mer i ts ; but he would pledge himself for his integrity in the honest and upright discharge of his duty in Parliament, should the free holders send him there. " Elect him," continued Sir Robert, " to teach this Yorkshire Bart., this equivocal candidate, this amphibioui politician, who has the art to make the Whigs be lieve him a-Whig, and the Tories that be is a Tory, and who fancied that head the art to gain the confidence of every party in the county:. Elect Sir John Thorold, to teach this gentleman and the Noble Lord who supports him, the danger -of attempting to "force hi mse lf upon a county which is deter mined to reject him. Elect Sir John ThOrola, that your chil dren may possess their rights as freemen untarnished, and may inherit those blessings, not impaired but improved, which You intended emdc llyforconclusion mentioned) uasn whoreo 1 1 e he e l e ca a fig ( r teS9yiri again filem%lpk!e repeated da tb n now enjoy." (Loud and Continued cheering,) The Hon. t c r , t o r)ir t g i c t ie e i b n uy d p e )o d nw t i l t ia li Bart. then adverted to an address of Sir William Ingilby's, and conciliate.ottsdtebt(eothattk w hc o e t s ild al s re e a ry y if elected, though he could noat t ( S fl i o r in Jo th h ne circumstances a lPelhamnt a candidate... . Mr. WELLS next addressed the freeholders', and was re ceived with cheers. He proceeded, in a speech of considerable length, to point out the advantages to the freeholdersin not suf fering . themselves to be dictated to by any Noble Lord, end also that Sir John .Thorold would serve the county . He was anxious in coming f orwar d on this occasion, to put an end to the enormous expence to which candidates w e ere put on elec tions. He also went on to show, that f ron the House of Com mons , 4117 Members Ith which state of were returned by Peers or other single individuals, it was necessary that the people should be active in choosing a man whom they thought St and qualified to represent them. The Rev. Sir C. ANDERSox defended himself from the in)_ putation of having put his name to any well-founded.
