LONDON. WEDNESDAY. DEC. 6.
WE have before noticed the good humour and good
nature with which the W"st Riding election pro-
ceeds. Mr. licin.ox, we will do hi,u the justice to
say, has shown every dispos;tion to be gay and fa-
cetious, and to parry with nonchalance the home
questions put to him by troublesome interrogators.
Mr. DaNtrON is no bad representative of the old Ca-
valier. He is for court, the church, and the ',quires,
for the taxes, the standing army, and the bishops, and
the more of all three the better. On any small points,
such as might without much import be conceded
to the popular party, he is ready to yield
them for peace sake, or rather to acquiesce in
whatever has been conceded. But wherever there
lurks a chance of defending prodigality, ascendancy,
and monopoly, there Mr. Dzivistis will note a stand.
Sir CULLINO EARDLEY, On the other hand, is no
doubt a Roundhead, like those Mated and titled gen-
tlemen who preferred the service of the parliament and
constitutional liberty to that of an unprincipled, pro-
digal, and despotic court. Sir CULLING is of the
school of FAIRVAN, l'tM, and HAMPDEN. He thinks
too strongly perhaps, as did the men of that day, on
the nefariousness of Popery, but his enmity is not
persecution; it takes the milder and jutter form of
economy. He wants not to smite or burn his religious
antagonists—his rancour is limited to buttoning up
his breeches-pocket and declaring that he will not pay
them, a determination so thoroughly John Bullish,
that we neither see its bigotry nor its malignance.
We have seen with much edification and enjoyment
the seedy Cavalier and the zealous Roundhead fees to
face ; and we have observed the latter, with as much
adroitness as good humour, " draw cover," as he
said—that is, extract all the fox that is in Mr.
DENISON out of the recesses of that gentleman's
breast. No one can have a doubt, who has observed
these questions and answers, attacks and replies,
which is the better man of the two. To use a com-
mon expression, Sir CULLING wound Mr. DENISON
round his fingers. This somewhat surprised us, for,
though knowing the Roundhead to be more than a
match for the Cavalier at single-stick, we still thought
the latter would make a more skilful use of the

rapier.
In all these passes of arms there prevailed, how-
ever, the most perfect good humour and good feeling,
which was not confined to the foremost combatants. For
even Mr. nonsuch, in the spirit of whose undoubted
eloquence and able partisanship no small degree of
acid is apt to mingle, in nowise disturbed the
amicable tone of the contest. Mr. Itoesiuch'is letter
is as full of equanimity as of tho most true and
noble liberalism, and the whole conduct of that gen-
tleman entitles him still more than ever to the grati-
tude and admiration of all thorough liberals. From
all we hear from the West Riding, the sympathy
with him, far from being confined to Sheffield or
to the chartist body, is more general than was
supposed, and indicates in that great and influential
portion of the electoral body of England a growing
distaste to the predominance of religious motives in
the solution of political questions.
The noes, however, has looked on at this good-
humoured old English pastime of a contested elec-
tioa with dour and di'contented looks. It alone has
endeavoured to introduce the torch of discord there,
and to employ the expressions of bigotry and religious
hatred. It denounced Mr.Finwittihis, and avowed
that nothing short of a downright tory would ,atisfy
it. It declared Sir fIu—LUNG EARDLEY a " malig-
nant;" and now that the worthy baronet
has explained his malignity to mean economy and
reform, that tory organ in disguise (which Mr.
Disssinl declared synonymous with a Whig in place),
turns his wrath upon JOHN BRIGHT. Drunken men
are apt to imagine all whom they meet to be inebri-
ated. So the limes, that great sower of discord, that
preacher of bigotry, which in every column each
morning separates class from class, race from race,
creed from creed, and preaches mutual hatred,
defiance, and mistrust—the Times comes forward to
accuse JOHN BRIGHT of sowint; animosities, and
making the present contest a church and dissent ques-
tion.
Nothing can be further from Mr. BaranT's thoughts
or words, as nothing could be more contrary to the
policy of his party. In the course of a long speech,
embracing a multitude of topics, Mr. Bawitr merely
