SPORTING

A SPECIAL EDITION of the " EXPRESS,"
eestaining the results of the day's Races, is pub-
lished every evening daring the Sporting Season, at
six o'clock.

IN the debate on the Ballot Mr. Wstrote laid
down the law, that every action which involved
political esmiseprieces ought to be publicly per
Ara Mr. WALPOLI, and the gentlemen
who tesered this doctrine, prepared to carry it into
hill and anreoweed operatics P Will he admit the
Reporters he the public poses to those important
meetings at the Carlton and Rehm Clabe where
the eseassesee ef CIOCCUEI and Corrotx meet to
decide the he. of elections? Those who maintain
that every sieeter's vote ought to be known, ought,
eat of pure regard for conaistency, to exert them-
selves to kit the public see the working of that
machinery by which candidates are brought for-
ward and reeetitsencies predisposed to give them a
favourable reception.
But there is me reciprocity in that desire to " knew
"all about it," which animates politicians of a certain
sawl whenever the votes of einem are cos-
corned. They went to know how their senstitseste
vote, but they are taxless to mama hem the public
the manner in which the mew is pet apes these
constituents. If there is any truth in their doctrine
that it is on-English for • man to do anything that
he doe, not oars though all the world shsuM knew,
then the whole system of eisetioneoring *mange.
manta the two pest pardon who divide the He..
of Comm. between them is mainsstly un-English.
Lets of candidates are made eat, seats are allocated,
subscriptions towards election contests are voted,
canvassers are appointed, in Councils which aieszoble
in mysterious and secluded Committee-Roane, with
all the secrecy of a Venetian Senate. The fate of a
General Elegies is decided before the general
public knows that • Dissolution has bean
decided upon. At this merest the central ale/Aimee-
ing agents of the party is oliloe and of their prede-
cessors are carrying as an invisible, underground con-
tort in almost every comptitnency in the three king-
doms. Two objects they have equally at heart. In
the first place, each party seeks to pre-occupy the
ground against its rival t in the second place, both are
amnion' to guard against the possibility ofany man who
will not run in harness getting in anywhere. Inde-
pendent constituencies and independent candidates
ere lying on their oars ; and the electioneering agenda
at the Carlton and Reform Clubs are taking are that
so tholes shall be left to the former, and no chance to
the latter, when the day of open battle comes. Now
as firmly as we believe that the vote of every indi-
vidual elector should be given in secret, so firmly do
we believe that the ehrond, of secrecy ender which
the agents of the " Is" and the " Oats " are pre.
occupying the posad against a General Mahe'
should be torn to shreds. It is time for the real
adherents of Progress to be up and doing.
Indepsdent countitesseies who are dissatis.
lied with their premed Representatives ought to be
looking round them for substitutes. Earnest and
ielepeoodeekt pethidine who feel a vocation for Par-
lismestary labours ought to be looking round them
for ecestitvemeiss. There is not a moment to lose.
The agents of plase-henting factions are actively and
aseretly setting their tails round every electoral die-
trkt. Unless an immediate movement is wade to drive
away them poachers the preserves will be swept
before the iawfal opening of the season.
That there will be a Gomel Election be-
fore another twelvemonths pass over our heads is
certain ; but unless those who are daily growing
more and more disgusted with the condition to which
the exclusive and unprincipled policy of the great
Parliamentary fictions has reduced the Room of
Commas take the field at met, the malt of a
General Klestion will be, if not the return of the
whole of the very men who now, by their no:spooky
and west of prissiple, degrade the Lower Home.
