TEE CANDIDATES FOR MANCHESTER.

MANCHESTER, THURSDAY.
We have now, probably, all the candidates for
the representation of Manchester before us to whom any
pressing inducements are likely to be held out by any
tnnuential body of citizens. Mr. Bennett offers himself
on the part of the constitutionalists and conservatives ;
Mr. Mitchell Henry on behalf of the whigs ; and Mr.
Bright on behalf of the old free trade and liberal party,
with the adhesion this time of the radicals. Mr. Bright's
address has already been extensively published. Mr.
Bennett in hie address says he is desirous of representing
•• that chum of politicians who look for political progress
through the means of temperate, well-considered and
practical legislation ; and it is my belief that the best
interests of the oountry by such a course may be bet ter served
than by violent appeals to party prejudice and political
strife." He considers reform settled. He is for education
supported by local rates, and under local management, with
a compulsory clause. Mr. Henry may claim to speak more
like a conservative of the two. He says after what has
been said about " • leap in the dark," and " a complete
transference of political power," " it behoves rational men
hi pause, and see where we are standing." He is opposed
to any factious reopening of the reform question, to the
ballot, end's an attached member of the established church.
Primary education will be made more thorough, and will
have his support ; be is for a settlement of the Irish church
and landlord and tenant questions, ref onn of the army sad
nas7. and insists upon " the stoppage of that vast leakage
which allows half our expenditure to run to waste." lie
is in favour of reforming the evils lately laid bare in our
workhouse system, and in connection with it the hard-
working method man will Sod a friend in him. He
was introduced to an exceedingly crowded meeting in-
vited to hear him this afternoon iu the Town Hall, and he
was well received. His address was listened to and
I cheered, but at the close, on the usual motion that he
was a fit and proper candidate, the meeting seemed about
equally divided. Though supposeds above stated, to be
Henry'sH brought out by the whip, Hr. friends present
were chiefly commercial men, and are not generally known
as politicians connected with any party. There were many
conservatives present, and some were heard to complain
that his intervention would throw the cards into the
hands of Mr. Bright. On the other hand, Mr. Bright bad
a great many friends present, and while some complained
that a third candidate would tend to help the conserva-
tives, others cheerfully remarked, " He is very liberal in
his seatiments, and would make a good candidate if we had
not got a better already." His style of address seemed to
impress the meeting favourably as to his talents as a
speaker.
