STOCKPORT.

Tlw nomination took place yesterday morning in
the Market-place, Stockport. There were three candidates
peppered Mr Heald and Mr. Kershaw, the late members,
and Mr. T. B. Smith, late M.l'. for the Stirling burghs.
Mr. Heald was sominat.el by Ald. Caracas ilow•en,
and seconded by Mr. E. Ihlaset %en.
Mr. Bertha+ was nominated by Ald. BAILLI, seconded
le Mr. Jona RAY Sta.
'Mr. smith was nominated by Mr. Harms MAIIAILAND.
i1d..1 by Mr. E. Wstostee.
Mr. !MALI% who was received with mingled cheers,
end hisses, said there bad not been one single ob.
reatein made to his prejudice during the proceedings the ,
rot 'eon of which he should not be able to dissipate.
lliat which bad been the most stirring question for the lot •
ies,e years throughout the commercial portion of this
went. e was now happily settled ; and, although Otero war
a procure in the first instance put forth that he was an
antlicd run. and since that period, and since then attempts
co mode, both in public and private, to represent him
es eutaithful to the principles of our free clamour.
• p he took this opportunity of declaring
tha: there won not a fraction to choose between'
the re ,• candidates. (Cheers and grow.) His
vote+ in parliament would show that there had not been •
member more faithful to those principles this himself.
(Chem nut groans.) The corn-law question being settled,
be CUR' to the second, which he considered to be of the
ant importance, that of general taxation. lie had
tern a party tee the exemption of any particular interest,
and he appealed to them, whether his conduct
bad not evinced that the interests and prosperity
of the working classes of this country had nut •
been the great object of his solicitude ? There
Woe certain occasions in the life of every public man
'hes all his independence was put to tho net. He had
talon their ease into his most serious esemilderation, and he
would say this, that when • deputatiem. Way formidable

from Isis purposes, he replied, " I will name do it without
the consent of the worklideiesses, who me • aimed
to the contract." Why he adept that Meets? ifs
knew that the electors eouldtake ems of themselves, but it
woo his duty to take care of the non-elector,. (Inter-
nstom.) The third point to which he came was,
'bat to which allusion had been made. What swayed
to a great extent the destinies of this country was public
spans. As public opinion was formed, one principle or
cement should enter into it. Ile 'lmitate of public
opinion were not confined to the body of the electors: the
noire population of this country had freedom of thought
sad freedom of expression. He maintained, and would
alesy. maintain, that ; and he would tell them what was
the meaning of the term "nondescripts," to which objeetioa
kid been taken on his basing applied it to those who hag
petitioned in favour of the ballot. Mr. Bright had nes '
stated the petition alluded to, from the electors of Stock-
port, and it was the first time in his life in which be ever
knew a petition presented under such circumstances. When-
ever a petition was presented to the House of Commons, it was
always understood as • matter of mertesy,which he be-
fere linew to be violated, that each member representing the
pace where the petition came from should have • right to
ere it. Mr. Bright was asked by him (Kr. Heald) to let
him see it, and especially to inspect the memos appeimimi to
it, as well as what it contained. Ile OMIT received ma
an answer before, and it was, " Oh, I shall MO you again

goveraasent should again come lotto power. Young men
standing there did not know mach about toryism ; but he,
I who had lived some 50 years in the world, knew right well
what it was son: 30 years ago. He was sure it was a in-
fallible truth that toryism was opposed to the rights sad
liberties of the people. They mat set their fame
against the Derby adallnistratiou. They were use*
hpars of power, bad come to their places under
false Freese's. They said in the first instance—" We will
re-enact the torn laws if you will let no ; if you will mot let
us we will not ; we won't if we can't ; and if we can't we
wou'r." (Cheers mod laughter.) That was precisely the
deetriu• of the Derby administration, and fur gentlemen of
amender and station to talk to the people this consummate
rubbish was of all things the moat surprising. Thew they
said they had changed their polity. What! was the British
Ilea tamed by the still small voice of the people ? Why, he

of the mows succumbs to, not the expressed voice of the
people, be would not wait for that, but to their implied
WillOk sad mid, " If Jon won't let me, I won't re-enact

dodge width they most be on their guard against. ?dr.
Disraeli said if he could not restore the cora laws, he would
attend to the incidence of taxation, and endeavour to
lighten the burdens on the territorial interest. Ile would
transfer taxes from the mgrimiltural to the sasaufeeturiog
niters:et, throwing them upon the Consolidated Fund ; and
they must not forget that Lancashire and Yorkshire
already paid one-sixth part of the whole Consolidated Fund;
and they had better have a half-crown fixed duty, than
culler these (slows to tamper with the taxation, and place ,
it on their shoulder,, while they transferred it from the
shoulders of the agricultural counties. To quote the words
of Mr. Sidney Herbert," They were attempting to make the
landlords out-door pensioners on the funds of the nation."
This the electors of Stockport would assist in preventing.
He concluded by thanking them for the kind attentioa with ,
which most of them had listened to him.
Mr. J. B. SMITH came forward to address the electors I
amidst loud cheers. Although he could not, like the other '
candidates, point to the votes he had given whilst retire- !
rowing them, he would endeavour to explain the principles
by which he had been guided in his previous career in the ,
thous., of Commons. First, with regard to the foreign
policy of this country, he held that it was impolitic to inter.
kre with the affairs of other countries. Then, as to oar 1
colonial policy, many °four possessions were situated at so
great a distauce from the mother country, that in all those
colonies where the English race abounded, and the people
had been trained to the exercise of self-government:he would
give the colonists the right of governing themselves. He
would give them also the crown lands and reveoues, but on
the condition that they should pay for their bishops and
clergy, and all their other officials. He had always voted
evilest the extravagant expenditure of the public money.
One great principle of taxation was that they should take as
little as possible out of the pockets of the people ; and an-
other was that the strongest backs should bear the greatest
burdens. (Cheers.) Therefore, when the income tax was
proposed, be had voted for its consideration before it was
allowed to be levied in its present form. fie maintained that
it should be a tax upon property, and not upon industry.
lie regretted that his honourable opponent did not support
him in that vote. (Cheers and laughter.) Ile had also
voted for a reform in the administration of the law, so that
it might be conducted equitably, but promptly, and at a
small expense. He had always voted for the equality of
religious sect,, considering that every man bad a right to
worship God in the manner he thought best, without
its being a disqualification to any office in the state.
(Loud cheers.) It appeared to him that our institutions
were not in harmony with the progress which the people
had made in knowledge, in wealth, and in ente•priec. Ile
thought there was no danger whatever in giving the right
of voting to every bead of a family, and he had, therefore, ,
voted for household suffrage. (Cheers.) lie wax also in
favour of shortening parliaments, and returning to their
ancient limit of three years. (Cheers.) He was also a '
supporter of free trade. His hon. opponent said there was ,
not a fraction to choose between the three candidates on this ;
question. He begged to differ with him altogether. He '
declined to be regarded as a free trader like Mr. Heald.
When that gentleman first appeared before them, he
stole a free trade garment, in which to appear at
the hustings, declaring that ho would have trade free as '
air; but it was soon found that it oat very loosely upon
him, which might well be, for it was made to fit him. '
(Great laughter.) The easy drat 'anon this pretended
tree trader was in parlfame le wee absent when the ques-
tion of the sugar dnlfte acme ea. He was absent, because
he felt it would eat de* wee aphis their repeal so soon
after be had decimal bileesif is Wear of " trade free as

ties, on the ground that sugar was the produce of slavery.
He (111 r. Smith) meld set undesetand the distinction
between the sin of reathaing oasis tea with slave-grown
steer sod iadsiging amerhes with slave grown tobacco.
Nam he . had eine spa then hustings he had seen

had been very discreet in not alluding to a subject of which
he bed muds greet me in his election tactics. He had said

temaseim. Ma meld aware them he was as good a pro-

*OK nominate Mr. Hodgson if the gentleman who han
boss selected by his own party to perform that service did
awl think proper to do so. This reaching the ears of the
Weer party brought matters to a trials, for, amid much
meertment and some disapprobation on the part of the
people in front of the hustings who could not at once under-
stand bow matters stood, •
Mr. Itovott, the coneerrative agent, and Mr. Venetian:),
the editor of tho Poetical, the conservative sea spaprr, at'
once stepped forward and proposed and seconded Sir J.•
Graham as a tit and proper person t, represent the city of'•
Carlisle in parliament.
Mr. 0. N. HEAD then proposed Hr. Hodgson, end Hr.
J. NAtlion seconded the nomination, in doing which he
alluded to the many places which Hz J. Graham had repro.;
seated, and said that if Carlisle elected him it would he
called the city of refuge.
Mr. J. Mime and Mr. J. IRVING, disregarding the pre-
vine nomination of Sir J. Graham by his opponents, now I
again proposed and seconded him nomination as a oanefidate. :
Mr. Mooll.llr and Mr. CARTWILL seconded
the nomination of Mr. Ferguson, the other candidate in the
liberal lemma

A pew of a few minutes now ensued, and some persons
begin to anticipate a repetition of the scene which had
already occurred, when
Sir J. GRAHAM stepped forward and said—Gentlemen,
my respect for you is so sincere, sud my sense of the gra-
vity of this occasion is so deep, that I am not prepared to
make the proceedings of this day ridiculous. (Applause.)
I waited, according to the ordinary courtesy observed at
elections, to give the friends of the lets sitting member,
who again solicits your suffrages, the opportunity of pro-
posing him. I and my friends waited for a long time, hut
waited in thin. Even now, I stain waited to give my op-
ponent the opportunity of expressing his opinions before
me, but since I perceive that be wishes I should speak first,
I will not "stand on the order of our going," and, not being
afraid of appealing to you, without hesitation I proofed to
address you, although in doing so I take precedence of your
former member. I have great encouragement in doing so,
because, although sudden conversions are now the order of
the day, I certainly was not prepared to hear myself pro-
posed and seconded by the two gentlemen who have done
me that honour from the other side. (Cheep and laughter.)
One of these gentlemen, who I think is intimately con.
netted with Mr. Hodgson, paid me • compliment which I
certainly was not prepared for. Mr. Peering declared that
in his opinion I was the most fit person to ref resent the
city of Carlisle. (Much cheering.) I think the expression
used by Mr. Head was that I was the right man, and ought
to have the precedence. (Applause.) Mr. Head likewise
said he had read history. I also have read history, and I
will tell you the result of my ending and of my experience.
I think that the prosperity of this country is to be traced
to its constitution and its tads and that the lifeblood of
both is freedom. (Applause.) Well, what is the rule of that
freedom, as embodied in our representative system ? It is
that the majority shall decide for the minority ; end if the
majority of the electors of Carlisle are decidedly of opinion
that • Derbyite candidate is not in present circumstances
eligible, it is quite right that the majority should have the
opportunity of vindicating their opinions and returning
two members both pledged to free trade and reform.
(Cheers.) I perceive there is
_great unanimity among us.
I am proposed by the agent from the opposite party, se-
conded by one of their principal supporters, and they make
it appear that there is no real difference between us. As
far as I can understand, Mr. Hodgson is a free-trader, a re-
former, end a friend of economy and retrenchment. If so, I
should really like to know what is the matter in dispute
between us. (Cheers end laughter.) Why am Iso little
eligible and he so much to be preferred ? Mr. Hodgson's
seconder was somewhat severe upon me personally. He
said I bad perambulated England, and represented many
places, and that Carlisle, if it should now return me, might
probably be called the asylum for the destitute. Now,
have I shown any awillingness to appear before popular
assemblies? True, I have represented other places, but it
is equally true that 26 years ago I had the honour of repre-
senting Carlisle—(than)—and now after 32 years of
public service I come again before the electors of Car-
lisle. I challenge an investigation of my general public
conduct, and if, as you have been told, I have solicited
the Lean of other constituencies, I have come home
at last, and it is in the city of Carlisle thst I make my ap-
pearance on a public hustings. (Great cheering) I am
very unwilling to speak of myself, but the course that has
been pursued renders it absolutely necessary. Mr. Head,
who proposed Mr. liodgeort, stated, as one of the reasons
feepeeferring that gentleman to me, that many individuals
hers had received favours from him. I can prefer no such
claim to any man's vote. (Applause.) I solicit no favour
from you. I come here to vindicate a public principle. In
appears '
on these hustings I obey the invitation of the
beebea a Carlisle. I have canvassed no man. (Applause.)
All that has fallen from me with reference to this election
has been spoken in public assembly of the people. It has
been said—Lord Derby himself has said—that danger is to
be apprehended from the increase of democracy in this
country. His lordship has declared that, dreading
the inroads of democracy, he is prepared to make a stand
against its farther incursions, and to Mae barriers to stay
its progress. My experience leads me to this conclusioa—
that.the utmost wisdom of policy is, to haw not isalia
concession to make, but when to mho them. (Ap .)

EVENING, JULY

Mr. Crewe* with Mr. Garnettand Sir J. MIIOOIII2. Never
in his life had Widows anything so math spinet free tondo
as when he voted tor the nib' hon. baronet. (Cheers and
laughter.) In the right hon. layout's printed address he
told the electors to ask him whether he (Mr. Hodgson) was
sisapporter of Lord Derby's government. Without holing-
twn he would avow Otitis, was. (Applause.) If elected he
world be • petrel supporter of Lord Derby'. government,
and he would tell them why. Om looking around, and
viewing the aspect of political affairs, he came to the con-
clusion that no other government miled be formed than
that which Lord Derby presided over. (Applause and
laughter.) The late government died a natural death.
Lord Lansdowne declared in the Houk, of °Lords that he
was almost a. homed of being a member of it for the last 12
months of its existents, so imbecile and tottering was its
condition. During that period the government could carry
no measure which it thought easeutial • for the good of the
country. (Applause.) lint, if it were thought important
to have Lord John Russell at the head of iirs,' he must
be allowed to ask the right bon. baronet why he was not
in his place in parliament to defend bins whoa he needed
support? When Lord John Ruud! declared, in February
last, that, if Lord Palteenton's amendment to the Militia
Bill should be carried, he would resign *Mee, did Sir
James Graham's conduct writhe any earnest desire to
maintain in power a free trade government I lie saw the
right bon. baronet in the house about five or ten minutes
before the division took 'place, but when the division bell
rang he was non eat Mantua (Cheers and laughter.) The
right hon. baronet on that occasion did not come forward
to rapport his friend, and he did not weeder at it. Let
him ask this question, too :—Who made the most virulent
and acrimonious speech against the Whig government on
the motion for inquiry into the foreign policy of Lord
reinitiates? The right hon. baronet.. .Wbere was free
trade then? (Applause.) Who again made the most
acrimonious speech and did his best to throw out the go-
vernment on the question of the Foolesiestieal Titles Bill ?
Free trade was thought of instil it was desired to get
rid of Lard Derby's government, and thee the my was get
up for the occasion. (Cheers.) Ile had long been a free-
trader, and would continue so, and would otio for
any measure calculated to diminish the benefits which the
people had derived from free trade. (Applause.) He was
not in England when the corn laws were. repealed, but Mr.
Mowry, who proposed Mr. Ferguson this day, then signed
a petition against their repeal. Yet Mr. Mouneey now came
forward to preside over meetings at which monopolists were
denounced. What be said ought to satisfy the people
that it was neemesry to hear both sides of the question.
(Applause.) Let them not accept as tree tthstatements made
en the other side as to his being omaM to the interests of
the poor man. If they retuned him they would find
him undeviating in his attachment to the constitution and
the protestant institutions of the country. Should the
electors not return him the day might not be far distant
when they would wish that they had at .least the member
who would stand up in defence of those protestant institu-
tions cia which he believed the hoaxer, glory, peace,
and welfare of the empire essentially diopenaed. (Loud
cheers.)
Mr. FERGUSON contended that at present the country
enjoyed only an instalment of free trade, and anticipated
the greaten advantages from the full oelopment of the
system. The country having once tasted the blessings of
free trade, he believed that no minister, however powerful,
would venture to reverse it ; but it behoved the people to
take care that nothing was done in a disguised form, to give
the rich compensation for the loss of protection at the ex-
pense of the poor. (Cheers.) The present ministers could
not be trusted to carry out the free-trade system. They
were unwilling agents, and their iuelinations were the other
war. The spirit of free trade was not in them, and
their ruling principle was protection. He concluded by
declaring his steady adherence to the great principles of
reform which ho had ever advocated, and retired amid great
cheering.
Dr. LONSDALZ thought that, as Sir J.. Graham was sure
to hold the highest place in the nest administration, it wee
desirable to ascertain his opinion on certain points to whisk
he had not alluded in hie address to the meeting. For this
purpose he had drawn up certain questions to which he re-
quired answers from the right hon. baronet.
Sir J. GRAHAM said that Dr. Lonsdale had put into
his hand four questions, to which he would reply seria-
tim. The first question was—" Would you in any
future case like that of Hungary, where the liberties of
the State were interfered with by another and des-
potic State (Russia), do your best to put an end to
Wt interference, and to resist it as a violation of right ?'
'lt wale impossible for any lover of freedom not to parti.
gipate In the aspirations alter freedom in all foreign
countries, and he knew no limit to practically aiding
foreign countries in their endeavours to liberate themselves
from the yoke of tyranny, except the paramount obligation
of not involving this country in a foreign war on account of
interference in affairs not our own. The second question
'was—. Would you, in the case of a people now despotically
governed throwing off the yoke by their own energies, and
setting up a new government by a revolution of their own
making, urge the immediate and full recognition of that
government by ours ?" To this question he could give a
practical answer. The great motto of Lord Grey's govern-
ment, in addition to reform and retrenchment, was non-
interference in the affairs of foreign countries. Acting in
accordance with this motto, Lord Grey's govern-
ment, following the example of their (iredecessors,
recognised the government of Louis. Pbihppe, whom
s revelesies had raised to the throne of France.
Again, mother revolution separated Belgium term Holland
sad raised it into an independent kingdom, and in that
MINI mho Lord Grey's government renisisd the newly
anted authority. Thirdly, when Louis Philippe was ex-
pelled from imam by soother revolution, and a Republic
gotalihird in that country, the British government acknow.
Midthe new order of things—a course which he en-
epposed. The third question was—" Would you
spray any measures—an extradition hill, recourse to letter
or the like—which could have for its object
rt.: st;ietion of the rights of refugees to find an asylum
ha England safe from all espionage on the part of our
government?" He would make England a secure asy-
lum to all foreigners seeking an asylum from the oppres-
sion of other governments in any part of the world;
but, in return, he would require that these fo-
reigners should not abuse con boepitality by conduct
which would endanger the peace of Europe. As to extra-
dition be approved of the agreement into which we had
entered with Frame end America for the mutual surrender
of throe itheessof othathals—namely, murderers, forgery",
sad hosihdest bankrupts. The fourth question was,
" WSW lea-melhelelo the duty of this country to take
gigs fee the disked relation of her subjects abroad ?"
Mie newer was decidedly in the allirmative. Let our fellow-
=abroad obey the laws of the country in which their
ee is fixed, and should theytunoffending, be assailed
htyranny he would, even at the risk of war, from which
i feelings were abhorrent, protect them by the high hand
of the power of dthlountry.
Dr. Lonso•La w greed to have the right hon. gentleman's
opinion on the a:Mika of the franchise. The right hon.
hod shoos that he was neither a Derhyite nor a
Thn, what "it." was he? (Hear, and
lessliter.) He called on him to state tdrviews es to the
eglisteion of the franchise.
