Dietat government," he has been claimed u a minis-
ri • but the liberals of the county who have supported
his lorth'ildpi and who would not suffer a candidate to be
Introduced in opposition to him, will not believe that be

of retrieving his fortune. Chichester Fortescue, proposed

Samuel M.Cardy Greer, proposed by Wm. Foster, Esq.;
seconded by Vs m. Campbell, Esq. the contest in this
county will be a severe one ; and there is the strongest rea-
son to hope that the result will be the loss of one supporter
to Lord Derby. Mr. Greer 's views on tenant-right are a
shade more moderate than those of Mr. Sharman Crawford.
On other subjects he also goes with the popular party.
Mr. Greer has frequently bad to complain of the
nnwarreatable proceedings of the land agents in this con-
test. The following is • letter which he has received
from Lord Strafford, in answer to one of these complaints :
—" London, July 9, 18.52.—5ir,—1 have received your
letter of the 7th instant by this day's post. From the in-
formation you had received I am not surprised at your
writing it ; but I hope and believe that you have been mis-
informed. I certainly have not written one word to Mr.
Id'Cansland on the subject of the election for your county ;
and I cannot believe him capable of making use of my name
in =reusing any one of the tenants at Culmore or any-
where else. I have mmunicated with Mr. M'Caus•
land, and, from what I know of him, I believe that he never
took part in any political business. It is my intention to
send to him by this post the letter I have received from you,
and call upon him for an explanation, telling him at the
same time that I had given you so assurance, which I now
repeat, that it is my wish and intention to otairve the
strictest neutrality at the coming election for the county of
Londonderry.—l have the honour to be your faithful ser-
vant, Stitareones.-8. M. Greer, Esq., springvale, Cole-
raine."
