met 'with when first promulgated, and he was happy. to
state that a better class of men were daily comine. for-

having served them for twelve years, an attempt was
made to dispose of him. He had only to say, on that
point, that he had considered the desirability of retiring,
into private life, and he should have been most happy
to have done so ; but, quite unexpectedly to himself, and
also to all his friends, a placard Was issued by a gentle-

committees; but he had the great pleasure of informing
them, that.after he had taken his place in the Council,
lie was received by all his friends with the greatest cor-
diality, and. all hands were open to receive him, and
.more than that, he could say that he had been unani-

observation by again returning his most heartfelt thanks
for the high honour that had been conferred upon him.
Mr. •DE*TON then sraVe "Success to the town. and
trade of Liverpool," and, in doing so, he passed a high
compliment upon Mr. Alderman Cooper ; and, in allud-
ing to the.vote that lead been given in the Council on
the previous day, said
~that there veere.two men present
who had voted. rightly' on that occasion, and had for weal
or for woe toted in the right direction t and that they
had 115, done their crat, tOr thby- voted ' akaiiiii; a
nilso rale clique, whp wished to dictate to the whole
wardelmt had made a miserable failure; and. instead
of regarding the forensic eloquence of a Jeffery, they had
elected a man who had honourably and nobly raised him-
self ,up in the town of Liverpool—a man who had
raised himself to the proud position which he then
occupied. Mr. Denton then, in the most respectful
terms, introduced the name of Mr. Alderman Cooper,
who was every inch an alderman, for, as the poet had.
written two hundred years ago, there lie sat " With
fair, retina belly, Capon linedi", Mr. COdper was
not 'onlY 4 thin Ot substance, hilt he was else a man of
p'rinc'iple, and it was much to he regretted that there'
were not a few more such in the Council. He (Mr
Denton) had known Mr. Alderman Cooper for years,—
,' they were old friends, and he could not but he proud that ,
1 he had such a friend. He concluded by proposing as a
toast, " Success to the town and trade of Liverpool;
the health of the Mayor and Corporation," and with
that toast be begged to couple the hathe•6'f Mt. Alderman
Cooper. (Cheers.)
Song, by Mr. Postlethwaite.
Mr. Alderman COOPER, who was received with the
greatest enthusiasm, said that he felt most deeply,Frate-
. ful for the manner in which his h'ealtli lied bear drank
and he could iskire ilia that it had always been his
. aideaimir to do that which was, to the best .of his
judgment, for the interest of the town. He passed a
very high compliment upon Mr. Johnson for. the ability
and assiduity he bad shown both in the Council...
chamber - and in the committees ; and although
lie was not a "flowery" speaker, he, by his judicious
jridgment and remarks, was a most - able assistant. It
was with pleasure that he hailed his re-appearance in
the council chamber, (Cheers.) IVith regard to his
old friend Ileiltbn, be edlild say that he had every
respect for him. (CheerS.) . In the year 1835 there
were 95 persons contested for municipal honours,
and out crf that number there were then only 23 Hying,
lie begged to thank them for the honour they had con-
ferred upon him, and to' return, on behalf of the mayor
and the alderman, his most sincere thanks. ,
The "Chairman of the Election Committee" was
responded to by Mr. J. It-Cooper, who was greeted as
the future member for Lime-street Ward, several voices
exclaiiiiing, "J. R. Jeffery, beware. Mr. Cooper simply
expressed a hope that Whenever his services were required
his health and strength would permit-hull to render that
assistance which lie was AlWays desirous Of doing. .
The health of the friends and visitors whp. had ren-
dered such services at the late election, was responded
to by Mr, E. Williams, in an able and energetic speech.
who said, as an old friend of Mr. Johnson, whom he had
y
known for upwards of ten years, and although what
might be considered as an outsider, he felt the greatest
pleasure in having bad the opportunity of coming for-
ward on the late occasion, to give him his little mite of
assistance. The fact was, that he found that an attemnt
was being made by some of Mr. Johneon's own friends
to oust him; and believing that he was an honest and
. straightforward Mari, and one who bad Well performed
liis-*ork, lie telt it a duty to come forward. and assist in
securing his return, and he was most happy that the
exertions of the electors of the ward had been . attended.
with success.
Several other toasts *ere proposed and responded to,
and a most delightful evening was passed.
[Whatever May be said of these re-unions between
the elected and the electors, the meeting last evening
had a good tendency, for feelings were expressed and
responded to, which mast have a beneficial' effect,
Mr. Johnson explained his views, if not elognently, so
practically on the, public events of the day as brought
forth repeated bursts of apPtluseg and at once showed
the respect and esteem he is held in by the inhabitants
of the ward be represents.]
