Zije ILibtrpool Atanbarti. FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 21, 1832. COUNTY ELECTION.—This morning the polling Corn menc;es for the election of members to represent the Southern Division of this County. in Parliament. We hive the electors in the interest of Sir T. D. Hesketh, -will be at their post betime, and place that gentleman in *proud eminence at the close of the day. Let them prove by the promptitude and the number of their recorded suffra ges, that the self-styled conservatives," as they have been sneeringly designated, are unwilling to give the county even one day of unnecessary trouble, and that they will, by the result of the first day's polling, show their oppon ents that further efforts on their part will be unavailing. The tunes are yregnant with danger to every interest of this once happy country—but to none so obviously, as to that paramount one, the landed and agricultural interest. Let all, therefore, unite in favour of a candidate whose efforts will be exerted to the utmost to save all, but espe cially the farmer, from impending -destruction. Tali London papers, since our last 'publication, do not supply us:with much that is important from the seat of war, beyond the taking of Fort . St. Laurent by the French. ;Old Chasse and his DutCh.tarrison are a very obstinate set of fellows,and show no dispesition to sur render the 'citadel of Antwerp to our allies, the French. We learn, by the French papers, that the government of France refits-es Marshal Gerard's request to be allowed . to attack that. fortress from the 'Antwerp side ; there is, therefore, no help for it, but to proceed, with composure and regularity, to storm it, in which . caSe, we suppose, the brave Men who have so nobly defended their sove reign's cause,-will be put to the sword; to show all Europe the tender 'mercies of our own, and our allies' friendly intervention! The ministerial scribes continue their endeavoursloSprove, that a weak nation, when unjustly ' attacked by a powerful one, is fairly chargeable with all the bloodshed and misery occasioned by their obstinate resistance, because ultimate succeSsis hopeless ; --this is carrying the doctrine, that might constitutes right, to its utmost eTtent. But has it never occurred to our sapient c:attemporaries, that the gallant strnggle"of a small, but valiant people, may rouse the sympathies of More pow erful nations in their behalf, and so - rescue them from the gra=sp of the unrighteous oppressor ? Did we hear the same maudlin cant when Russia .attacked Poland ?" yet the Poles were only doing what the Dutch are now striv ilz to effect, and their cause was equally hopeless ; were the _oppressed Poles the party who were justly elLirgeableiith all the horrors of the Russian invasion? LI our liberals answer us. Tie cause of Don Pedro, at Oporto, seems fast draw iag to the closing scene. Don Miguel has got -complete possession of the river between the city and the sea, and is proceeding with much " composure and regularity" to starve his beloved brother and his adherents, should their inofrstrous want of feeling render such a course necessary. OF the numerous subjects which, we are' told, are to c:_iine under the consideration of the reformed House of. Commons, one of the most prominent, and in point or national importance indisputably the first, is that which relates to the corn laws, or, as it. is more modernly called, the monopoly in corn. When we consider how large a por tion of the population of this country is engaged in agri cultural pursuits, how materially. their prosperity and welhbeini Would be interfered with by the unlimited im portatien of foreign corn, even with the protection of a moderate duty ; and how intimately blended with the prosperity of the landed interest is that of the manufac turing and trading part .of the - community, we cannot help feeling- the greatest anxiety, that the subject should be most maturely and carefully . weighed, and viewed in all its bearings, in order that it may be fully underslo&l, and that the- nation may not, under the in liaence and excitement of a popular outcry, unadvisedly adopt a change upon so important a subject, where the . consequences of error would be fraught with ruin to mil lions of individuals, and with irreparable injury to the Country at large. . ..... . We are fully aware that there is. something very cap ating to the_half-famished artisan in the sound of cheap bread; and that it is an easy matter to -persuade such per - siins, that but for the selfishness of the .aristocracy in beeping out foreign corn, in order to maintain high rents for 'themselves, bread might be procured from foreign, at a much lower price than from British grain,' The corn laws are thus denOunced as an unjust monopoly, whose only effect, and whose: Only - Object; indeed,. is to enrich the few at the expense of the many: - Under . the influ ence:of such feelings and impressions, nothing is more natural than, that those who are louaiii their professions of doing . away with all Monopolies, but especially the corn monopoly, should find favour with the Multitude, and be tltcted as member's of Parliament in preference to those who are more scrupulous about pledging themselvei to the adoption of measures, the full effects -of which they may not have maturely considered,.and. upon the merits of which, at' all events, they wish to liear the opinions of others equally, or, perhaps, snore competent than them selves to form a correct judgment. We shall thus find . a very considerable number Of the individUals 'Composing the new Parliament W be men pledged to an alteration of the corn laws, but - what those' alterations should be, will, probably, be a question involVing. as many different o . ;.;inions as there will be persons proposing - them. In looking at this sut t ject, as one . of national concern, it will he , eonceded, we presume,that that. landed is not to by sacriked to the manufacturing :interest.; and that if monypoly of corn is to . be done away, - that of mann it.ures shall not be continued. - If -the manufacturer is hdalloWed to purchase corn fioni ihnse who can sup -1.:!- Lim the cheapest, surely the. farmer should also be p-A - mitted to buy his clothing, his implements of hus- L , undry, and every other article of necessity or luxury, in like manlier, at the cheapest Market. Let this princi ple be adopted, and, we believe, it Will be found beyond all controvefsf, that the British agriculturist needs pro tt.,-ction, or monopoly, less than ahy. other. interest in the em, - .lre; We take it for granted, that it is an axiom, admitted even by political economists, that the strength and pros perity of the country depends Upon the profitable employ ment of the whole body of the labouring population,- and that whatever tends .most to accomplish so desirable an object, ought to . be most sedulously encouraged and pro moted by the patriotic statesman. Nor will it be dis puted, that, as far as our internal traffic is . concerned, high or low prices are, with one mighty exception, a mere nominal difference, provided the rise or -fall be uni versal ; or, in other Words, that everything, whether la bour or commodities', be equally affected. -It is• a fact, sufficiently established, that in all countries possessing a dense population, the price of labour is regulated by the cost of subsistence, the common labourer, under ordinary circumstances, never earning more than enough to sup 'ply his daily wants. If, therefore, by resorting to foreign markets for our supply of corn, the "price 'Should be no minally reduced, can it be supposed, for -a moment, that the price of labour and of other commodities- would riot experience a corresponding reduction ? Where, then, would be the gain to the consumer ? Laying aside, for the present, the important consider ation of the policy, or, indeed, the safety of trusting to foreigners for that roost indispeiisible of all.articles, food, for a deficiency of which no substitute can be foUnd, let us examine more clearly into the consequences of draw ing any considerable portion of our .annual 'consumption of corn from other countries. The first and Most obViOus effect would be, to throw a large portion of the soil out of cultivation, particularly of the inferior land which re quires the most labour, and gives employment to more labourers in proportion to its extent than the richer soils, for it cannot be imagined that the landowner would con tinue to grow corn upon land, which, with low prices for the produce, would not repay the expense of cultivation at the end of one, or, at most, of two years. We should thus have the produce - of our own soil diminished to an extent which no supply that we could draw from foreign countries could replace ; and we should discover when, perhaps, too late, that the abolition of the corn monopoly had made bread dear instead of cheap. The largest im port of grain into Great Britain, in any one year, has never materially exceeded two millions of quarters. Has it ever entered into the heads of those who cry out for free trade in corn, to calculate what would be the conse _quence. of having to draw only double that quantity from foreign countries,—how Many tons of shipping Would be 'required to convey it, and how. long it would take to bring it ? Have they ever looked at the state of British exports to those countries from whence we draw our largest supplies, and asked themselves, seriously, how we could pay for such a quantity ? But, supposing, thif these trifling difficulties were got rid of, and that the trade in corn were free as air, how would it affect the manu facturing interests ? In the first place, the agricultural labourers, who would thereby be deprived of employ ment, must be thrown upon the parish for support, and would cease to be customers for manufactures. The landowner's, farmers, &c. would also cease to be consum 7 - ers of manufactured goods, not merely to the extent off' their reduced production of grain, but to the amount by which their actual produce should be. reduced in value by the competition of the foreigner. In this way it, is not . an exaggerated statement to say, that for every pound in value added, by this means, to the amount of our export, the manufactures would experience a falling off of t 4 in the home market. This state of things must, in its turn, produce a glut of goods, and a redundancy of ma nufacturing labour in the market, thereby lowering both • the rate of wages and the price of goods ; and the manu facturer would then discover, to his sorrow, that after suffering great losses, and submitting to no light priva tions, he was, in fact, just where he set out from ;—he would have his loaf at a lower I . .onti . nal price, but he would find his means of purchasing. it reducek at the least, in a corresponding degree. There is still one part of .the subject untouched, and . . . in our opinion it is one requiring the most serious consi deration. We have before remarked, that "with one mighty exception" high and low prices differed more in name than in reality—that exception is, those eases where any stipulated or precise amount in money has to. be paid—such is the case in all mortgages and similar obligations, and the taxes to government: It will be ob-. vious, upon the least reflection, that the situation of the farmer and manufacturer, in regard to - each other, is the same with wheat at 80s. per quarter and labour at 245. per week, as if wheat were at 40s. and labour at 125., every thing else being presumed to bear the same relative pro portion; hut when a third party steps in, in the shape of the government, and demands the same amount in mo ney, whether wages be 12s. or 245. per week, the ,case is entirOy changed. To. illustrate this, with reference to the nation at large, let us assume the national incomeat : high prices to be 400 millions per annum, and at low prices 200 millions. The revenue taken at 50 millions is in the one case an eighth, in the other one-fourth of every man's income. Let us then • enquire how this af fects the labOurer. At high prices, or wageS at 245. per week, he pays one-eighth or 3s. for taxes, and pays is. fore his loaf—at • low• wages, or • 12s. per -week, he pays one-f6urth or 3s; fla . ..take's, and ha . s his for 6d. The result: is that his:means:of pro'caring . the necessaries of life are •as seven to six in favour of high prices. Is it not self-evident,. therefore, that the -higher we can main tain the price of labour: and of all other Commodities, their:due relativu proportion :to each other being always preserved,•the better it •is for all classes of the coinnau nitv.:: And can the manufaetnrers . of Great Britain be so infattiated as to SiippoSe, :that.they. can keep up the prices of their goods, or the rate of wag.,es to their operatives, after „depriving • themselves of •a• hothe demand to the amoun(of,probahlv, 15. to 20 millions per.annum. It is one of tlse. many. extraordinary derUsionS of the present time, which are palmed upon the public by de signing men, ff)r th to represent .the purposes;. interests of themanufacturing and trading portion of the cOnimunity, - aS at variance With, and opposed to, those of the landed aristociaCy. They" are in fact intimately and indi.ssofubly connected, and he who would attempt to pro mote the One at the expense of the other, only exposes his ignorance and folly, if perchance wickedness be not at the root s of his proceeding: - To any one whose attention may be excited to - this momentous question, by these brief remarks, we would strongly recommend the perusal of a pamphlet just pub lished, being a letter addressed to Lord Viscount Milton, by George Webb Hall, Esq., in reply to a recent publi cation of his Lordship against the corn laws. They will there find the subject treated of in detail, by one who unites.practical knowledge to sound theory, and we shall be surprised if any candid enquirer after truth, can rise from its perusal, without the conviction that to abolish the corn laws, or to make such regulations respecting them as should seriously injure the British corn-grower, or make us dependent on Foreign nations for our supply, would be the height of folly as well as injustice. We will conclude this article with one short extract from the pamphlet, which we beg to press upon our readers' attention. "In advocating the claim upon the country at large, to re ceive the agricultural produce it can yield in exchange for other commodities, at the fair and honest, yet lowest price at what it can be grown at home, I would ask that alone which would be most cheerfully granted in return to every other branch of indus try in the state. In claiming from the country at large, the privi lege of supplying their wants, as long as it could be done with pro duce good in quality and at a proportionate price, most readily would the whole supply of the agricultural interest be granted to the corresponding interestiof our own country, for all those articles which they could themselves fabricate. Let British in dustry then contribute to British ingenuity, and receive com pensation from it, and the aggregate profit of the two transac tions, mutually beneficial, will far surpass that high rate of pro fit, to aim at which our country, to an extent, would be made a howling desert." OUR contemporary, the Mercury, in his last number, edified us by the inforniation, that Mr. Thornely's cora initteo were men of too much integrity, to stoop to cer tain things, which it was (most untruly, as we believe) asserted the partisans of Lord Sandon unscrupulously resorted to: The walls of the town have,' for the last twd days, been . 'adorned with very convincing proofs of the soaring loftiness of soul which distinguishes some of Mr. Thornely's partisans.. In the first place an abstract of the law against bribery appears—unauthorised it would appear—but with the name of E. Smith & Co. Printers, at the bottom. By this placard the tempting reward of £SOO is held out to any one who can substan tiate ‘a. case of bribery, so as .to enable these worthies to unseat Lord Sandon. Then comes a begging petition, stating that books, signed by the Chairman, lie at ten different places, beginning with the Mercury-office and eiiding — With the Bank of Messrs. Samuel Hope '& Co., where all those who feel disposed, may contribute their mite, towards defraying the legal expenses of prosecuting a parliamentary .enquiry into the circumstances of the late election. Having heard it boasted by some of Mr. Thornely's committee, that a fund of £3,ooo.was already subscribed for this purpose, the want of more money shows the determined spirit in which the enquiry will be prosecuteg. But the most interesting part of the placard 'Es - ,the conclusion—All persons are "cautioned and re garded" not to pay their money to any but those having books signed by the Chairmtpi. (signed) WM. RATH B 0 NE. If this caution and request do not satisfy any one, of the high respectability and great integrity, •of some of Mr. Thornely's partisans, we do not know what will. By the by on the subject of bribery and corruption, we have heard some very queer - stories about the proceedings of certain Friends, such as offering a wife a good round sum if she would swear that her hUsband had received a bribe to vote for Lord'Satidon—but these must be mere tory fabrications--purity of election men could never do such things! • In consequence of a paragraph in the Times, stating , iat' the Conservative Candidate for Whitby, was re ,urned contrary to the expectations of the revolutionists, owing to the powerful influence and wealth arrayed against them for the last two years; also, that several had voted for Mr. Chapman that had signed Mr. Morrison's requisition; we give the true account as reported by an eye-witness of the proceedings. In no town 'in the kingdom for its size can more respectable or wealthier voters be found, and, therefore, the only influence that 'could be . exercised over them was that of . sound eonstitutional:prinCipleS; by Which alone they were actu ated. As to the requisition, it was got up. in the most underhand manner, the signatures being obtained upon a blank paper, and afterwards attached to a subsequent requisition; Mr. Morrison, the blue candidates party giving it out, at the same time, that no other candidate would be in the field, excepting perhaps Mr. Curtis, of London, or some stranger like him. They thus ob.; tamed the pledges of many that otherwise would haYe voted for the pink candidate, Mr. Chapman, and who after redeeming their pledge, mounted_ pink colours, and in fact canvassed for Mr.. Chapman. They not only sent threatening letters to several pink voters, but en deavoured to intimidate some of the respectable trades men, one in particular,, by threatening to withdraw their own, and take away Lord Mulgrave's custom ; at the very time the blue candidate was in the shop, Mr. Chap man's carriage drove past, upon which, the honest, and worthy independent tradesman said, here is a friend of mine coming, I must give him three eheers,—for his upright conduct his windows Were broken at the election. Such was their violence that they threatened to turn the horses' heads back to London, on Mr. Chapman's enter ing 'Whitby,—and had not the pink party been too strong for them, their violence and rage would have known no bounds. The blue candidate had six or eight Dissent ing Ministers on his Committee, and with the exception of a few respectable tradesmen, his chief supporters were weavers, fish-wives, and chimney-sweeps ; the latter even got disgusted, and cried pink for ever; and such was the indignation of the sailors and farmers, on hear ing of the bribery oath being' put to gentlemen, who were Magistrates and Deputy-Lieuts. of the county, and men of large landed property, as well as funded and shipping property, that latterly not a blue man durst spew out after dark. Some of the most obnoxious of the pink party were obliged to take refuge in a house, and would no doubt have suffered, if some pink gentlemen had not rescued them. In answer to their last lie of all, Mr. Chapman Certified before the returning officer, that he had not directly, or indirectly, any contract with government; they to cover their own defeat having substituted Mr. Chapnan for his Son, who had the mast and timber contract to, supply his Maje sty's dock yards. —From - a Correspondent:., His Majesty's Post-office Packets are, by a recent ord er , t o v wear blue.ensigns and pendants, insiadcif red, as heretofore. • THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD will be published on Tom' day next, as usual ; but that being Christmas-day, o r respectfully request that those of our Subscribers ail Counting-houses m ay-not be op en on t h at day, will Peo to No. 7, High-street, for their papers.
