So mA, r candidate 1;;;;;propoisee I, the two gentlemen
were &eland duly elected.
Mr I .k k LEY said it was now his pleasing duty to re-
t,m A,. warmest thanks for their kindness in again return-
itir him to reprisent them in parliament. For 20 Jean he
1.4 h.:4 shut important and distinguished office; and
r bumble hia • Riffle, no member ever posserd a more
e eliding constituency. When he entered parliament he
•i. not a strong party man. he
that wa., to s, rue the intends of his constituents. At
4, present ,r w.. difficult say on which side he ought
'• or what party he imaht to support. It was from no
,rf rt of his that Lord J. Buren had abdicated office—there
a.. no individual he more respected—he not only honoured
hint as a puhlie man, but he esteemed him as a friend. For
iishteen months prior to his retirement it was evident that
ha irmiurtb•nt was doomed, and then the question
acne who could take his place. There was no man
to whom the country so clearly pointed as to the Earl of
baby. Under those circumstances, when Lord J. RlSS-
eovernment fell simply because it could not stand, be
(Mr. ..tyley) asked himself how it was possible to with-
hold fur play to Earl Derby. Since Earl Derby
had rgnie into office he never saw a government
which had been carried on with greater practical ad-
vantage to the country than had that of Earl Derby's ; and
it the Earl Of Derby continued to support their interest.
aal the interests of the country he should have his zealous
supp,rt. (eheen.) Much hail been said against protec-
Irv. Ile wished to know if since ISM they had all had
the lair loaf > (y..) If they had, he congratulated them
ots Ile was Juniata N promote British industry and to
"rt',oriite trade, and he believed that tradesmen gene-
-74Y had loot more at the counter than they. had
,is, 41 in the cupboard. No man hated class legislation
than himself, and he denied that he and those who
thought with him wished to starve the poor. With r
t" ,be futon , the great struggle would be on the atreredt
If there was any one member of the present
11'"'1141i, nt whom he would place in competition with a
zttr.ttr of the law govanment, that man was Xt. Diamali.

No man was more fitted by his intelligence, deep thought,
and talent, to grapple with the subject of taxation than was
Mr. Diane.i. For himself, he was for keeping all the good
they now posst•.red, soil obtaining as much more as they
could. Sinn he had been in parliament he was astonished
at the progress which had been made--and all this under
the system of protection. Civil and religious liberty be had
always advocated, but he would so little approve of lieen-
tiutisuess as be would of bigotry. lie was fur progrees, but
it must be steady; let them be sure their pnigress was
not towards evil, but that it was in the right direction.
(Applause.)
The lion. 0. DUNCOMBE neat addressed the electors.
He would vote fur oomatitutiousl progress, but he
would oppose democratic reforms. Lord John Russell's
Reform Bill of this year was scoffed by everybody ; but
there are anomalies in the present law relating to the re-
presentation which needed reform, and be believed Lord
Derby would be prepared to undertake that task. He
compared Think with Honiton, awl Northallerton with
Thetford, to show that the smaller boroughs gummed
two members whilst the larger boroughs had only
one. Ile believed Lord Derby would do hie best
to improve the representative system, and in that effort
he would give to hie lordship his hest support. lie next
referred to the Ecclesiastical Titles Hill, which he bad zea-
lously supported, and he rejoiced at the fact that England
had risen as one man to defend the prerogatives of the
crown against the aggressions of intriguing Rome. The
resignation of Lorl John Russell in 1811 he represented so
having been a sham, and the resignation of this year was
intended to have had a like result ; but fortunately there
wale man of ability, talent, and eloquence, unrivalled since
the days of Burke; he found in the country party the
materials for a good government, which be believed would
give satisfaction to the country at large. Let them judge
them by their sets. In one short session they had passed 88
important hills—including that essential measure, the
Militia Hill--and on that point he contended it was good
policy in times of peace to be prepared for war. After
some further remarks he concluded by again thanking
them, and by declaring his intention to give a cordial and a
generous support to Earl Derby, who he believed was the
only man under present circumstances that was able to un-
dertake the affairs of this great country.
A note of thanl... to the Sheriff terminated the proceed.
•igs, which were of a most orderly character.
