die Rev. Ebenezer Evans, of Poole. The meeting
was opened with praise and 'prayer, after which the
Rev. E. EVANS, made a few intnsluctory remarks,

by their own minister. At the last itieetill of the
ass• 'gnat ion they proposed a re...bathe' that the
churches should he visit...l yearly in the interest if

there would come &wit a blank upon the villages that

Tug LIBERAL ETNI,II/A—T—IL H. Cary Batten.
the Liberal candidate for West Dorset, has Met with
nest encouraging receptions during the wto.k,
he has spent in busily addressing the constituents at
Chetnole, Cattistock, Whitchunli Canonicortim,
Langton Herring, llapi.wiler, and other places. It
M evident, (rein the comparative silence id Mr.
Batten's political enemies, that they fiud it necessary
Im.k tint to themselves, rather than to waste their
I' .in following in the wake I.lthe Liberal candidate,
and in caramels to pounce down upon his village
meetings, creating an uproar with the intention that
the labour. Tss shall MA hear his Liberal views. This
little game they appear to have to a certain extent
abandoned, although some of the little Tory wa.).
endeavotir to sting occasionally. Some very con-
temptible efforts are being ma.d., to prey upon the
ignorance if son,, iif the rustic v..tem. And
even many of theme in the towns. Members
of the Tory party are actually endeavouring to per.
PUP& Of, iffiterate Liberal v..nt that a Creiss'
opposite OW 1141111. of their favourite candidate is not
nefficient—that they " must also strike lit the name
of the candidate they do not wish to vote for." This
ía a nmet eontemptible attenipt to destroy Luhusral
sting papers. An equally mean attempt is the
endeavour to persuade idhers (Liberal voters a 1..)
that the "cross.' must be placed optsisite the Tory
candidate's Anil that this course will leave ',vote
for thu Liberal candidate, whom they wish hi support.
These characteristic tricks of Toryism will ecarcely
repay the trouble of tho joriiy.sg.a.iifil now that tlai
1,,,1,,,neer is well amplaiuted with the manner, and for
which party, lie should record his vote.
