"risen between bim and his committee, we most
siscorely hops you will not be disheartened, butt
Wad every effort to secure the remitting liberal I
caedidatee election, and givo • bumper for W. B.
Stone." it is needless to say that the liberal committee at
cam esdeavoured to omisteract the inettesee of this impu-
dent and mischievous forgery, by officially denying the fact I,
therein stated. The onalusion which prevailed during the
womipatice rendered it impossible, eves for • moment, to
hems word that was uttered by soy of the speakers, even
by those who were in close proximity to them. The
form, however. was gone through, and the proceed-
legs passed off without any sets of violence. Mr. Alderman i
avast moved sod Mr. H. Davey seconded the nomination

SOUTHAMPTON.
The nomination of candidates for the represents-
ties this boragh in parliemeet took plea yesterday at
tai Guildhall; Mr. Sheriff &lama presiding. The interest
which the fastest has excited being isdiested by the ins.
mesas standauce, and the strong feeling manifested
throughout the whole of the proceedings.
Mr. Alderman PIMNH, J.P., proposed Mr. Digby Sey-
mour, Q.C.
Mr. Ls Proem proposed Mr. Alderman Rose.
Colossi Timor nominated Mr. George Moffatt.
Mr. Stumm; proposed Mr. Russell Chummy.
Mr. Mackay was nominated by Mr. T. HUI..
Mr. DicaßT Sermons mkt it was DOW six niece be
first stood to that beildiag saute them to him to p anis-
meat, and having during that long period reprenerted them
hithrolly, he applied to them for re-electioo. His prinaplea
were the name now as they were thee, and from them he bad
never departed. As to the repomination of the people, he
held that the electoral frenebise ought to be exteeded to
every adult man throughout the kisgdom who bad been
for twelve months a resident in • particular
borough, and who contributed either directly or indirectly
to the taxatioe of the country. (Hear, hear.) If, how-
ever, they expended the eras of the franchise they must
take ease to purify it, and he should therefore support the
I ballot.
Mr. Alderman ROM said that during the time he bad
represented them in parliament he had been faithful to his
trust, and theaters he asked them to seed him tuck to
parliament. His principles had undergone no change since
the time that be first, stood before them. The government to
which be was attached had proposed
• large and
extensive measure of reform, but they were turned out by a
pretended liberal government, who had dose nothing. With
regard to the franchise, there were many who, by their pro-
vidence, had demonstrated their filmes to be admitted
within the pale of the conethutios. He wee, therefore, is
favour of a safe sod save extension of the franchise,
and be would support the introduction of a lodging qualifi-
calla, so that men of relocation in that easditiou of life
weight be entrusted with electoral rights sod privileges. He
was opposed to the ballot.
Mr. Morarr stated that he was there to sok them sot
to mend two resservatives to parliament, as the tory party
had opposed all Sheered measures brought forward by the
libentle. For his owe part he had always been a steely ad-
vocate of an extiesiou of the infirm% sod the protection of
the voter in its exercise, for the abolition ei Gams tests
which premed on the coestistmes of indiraluals, and three
taxes which imposed npoa the pockets of others. This mu-
test involved a very great and important quaties—ft wee
the canes of progress nand obstruction—of Lord Palliser-
stion's government spinet that of the opposite patty. Those
who were in favour of Lord Palinerstoo's policy would need
him to parliament ; those who were in favour of tory ob-
structions would seed the emanative' there.
Mr. RusseLL Guam denied that the conservative{ as a
party were a party of obstruction ; rather were they a party
of rather! improvemset The coodoet of the whip had
sot been method by a love for the real interests of the
people, and it was because they, when out of office, caught !
the voice of the people by measures which they _thought
la popur at the time, but which they threw overheard the
momest they wen is ethos. that be for use would set eater
the Home of Common' to be among the body at their sup-
porters. But while placing no confidence in the party to
which he bad referred, he would take measures that were
good, come from wbstever quarter they might. (Haar.)
Mr. MACKAY mid he bed been a releaser for the ha
thirty yews, and both with hie pulse and his time had aun-
tported all those great quahogs of onameeecial sad poli-
tical liberty which had proved so liseeildel to tas coun-
try. He expand himself ia favour of the =Waft of
I the franchise and the ballot, and referred is emelosios to
several personal matters to which preerions speakers bad

alluded:
The Sheriff then called for a show of bands, which,
amidst toad chews, he derived to be in favour of Mr.
Ransil Gurney and Mr. Dishy Seymour. ♦ pall having

ceedings terminated with a vote el think' to the Sheriff.
