had been sent to par..azer.: not as tae ot any ;Ar-
ticular class, but fret and nr.sbv.kled to represent all the
great interests of the c:untry. He felt convinced that the
present ministry would carry out the prineipiti they had
always advocated. The farming int had fora long time
sulfured and had not complained, and they had been in-
sulted after having been injured. They did not ask (or
any specific remedy, or for any exceptional boon;
but th.,t they should have a share in what he
believed to be the exaggerated prosperity of the
country. If free trade was the principle on which the
goveroment of the country was to be carried out, they must
base it carried out to its fullest extent. (Cheers.) At
present they had only a one-sided s) stem, which was mis-
called free trail Ile thanked them, iu conclusion, for the
flattering reception they had given him; and be would, if
again returned, endeavour to repay their confidence by IL
greater devotion to their interest. in parliament. (Great
appiuse.)
.11r. R. KNICIITLEY had already stated what were
his political principles. He was a liberal (conserva-
tive, and he was the more anxious to state that, because
he saw a false distinction attempted to be drawn between
those and the supporters of Lord Derby. (Hear, hear.)
Attempts had been made to sow dissension among them by
stating that Lord Derby had aband,ened protection and had
deceived them. He had said what he had always said, that
if he could he would restore protection. If he could not do
that he would give an equivalent in some other way.
Mr. Houghton was then called for, but did not make
his appearance.
The show of hands was then declared to be in favour of
Captain Wyse and Mr. Knightley, and a poll was then de-
mended on behalf of Mr. Houghton by Mr. Smart.
The polling was fixed to commence on Friday morning, at
9 o'clock.

In the afternoon a large party of Captain Vyse's and Mr.
Knightley's friends dined together nt the George Mot&

South Molton on Tuesday morning.

of their old and tried friend, Sir Thomas Dyke Acland,

Mr. W. A. Yas (magistrate of the county) seconded the
nomination.

Mr. T. W. HARDING (also a magArata) nominated Mr.
L. W. Duck, but not a word wadd.be heard for the hooting
and yells with which he was assailed.

nomination, was received in the same manner.
No other candidate being proposed; the Sheriff declared
Sir T. Arland and Mr. L. W. Buck duly elected.
Rir THOMAS ACLAND addressed the electors in a

short speech.
Mr. Buck was unable to obtain a hearing, in conse-
quence of the clamour with which he was received.
Sir J. KENNAWAY moved, and Mr. T. KILLEWICK
seconded, a vote of thanks to the sheriff, which was carried
by acclamation.
The ceremony of buckling on the spurs was afterwards
gone through, and the proceeding. terminated more quietly
than might have justly been anticipated from the heat dis-
played at the contest, which was far greater than at many,
if not at all, the contested borough elections in this coast!.
There was to be a dinner in the evening, at which Mr.
buck was expected to finish his speech.
The election was over at about a quarter past 12.
