MR, BRIGHT FOR BIRMINGHAM.

The immense majority in favour of Mr. Bright, at of
town's meeting, on Tuesday, has produced a great anlnB
of interest and labour in his behalf, and correspona:A.,
hopelessness on the part of Mr. Webster's friends. Yee
,701
day afternoon, advantage was taken of the disgrac'o,
attempt to split the liberals, and a tory is now in the field,
in the person of Mr. M'Geachy, of Ilerts, a gentlera:,
totally unknown to, and unconnected with the t 073
On Wednesday numerous district meetings, convert
by the aldermen of the various wards, were held, at'
at each of them resolutions sapporting Mr. Bcigatbo
nomination were unanimou,ly carried. During
.i.O
day, a deputation of electors waited. upon Mr. Webster
and advised that gentleman of the suicidal policy he 71
pursuing, and begged that he would unite the whole liber:4
party by withdrawing his name. The deputation WlO
courteously received ; but Mr. Webster declined to g,14
an immediate answer. There is little doubt but that Ph.:
name will be withheld on the day of nomination, as up
the present hour he stands not the slightest chance of suh
cessfully opposing the anti-Palmerstonian feeling whjee
will eventually place Mr. Bight's name at the head of
poll, if there should be one. The canvassing has be',
going on with vigour, and the promises for Mr. Bright Itro
most prolific; and in the most aristocratic quarter bi
odds are forty to two in favour of the great lib:ral Chem ,
pion. Mr. Bright's committee have issued the folloW
address :

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF BIRMINCIAI4.
Gentleman,—The committee for securing the return of ft'.
,
John Bright, have brought him forward as a candidate lera
your votes, because they believe him to be the best quali6„e
.
person to promote the interests of the liberal cause in parr-d,
meat. At a time when a new reform bill has been prorniseh;
and when the liberal party require a man to lead them in t'a
struggle which will be necessary to make that bill a real 3n.
efficient erre, the people of Birmingham will be performing;
national duty in securing his return. The committee We't
deeply impressed with this feeling, but they determined neo
(even for the sake of a candidate so worthy) to incur the chars
of an attempt at dictation. They therefore appealed to tPi
town itself. That appeal, was made to a meeting consisting of
at least 8,000 persons, the whole of whom,with the exception h
about 100, declared for Mr. Right. This was a response wil'c
will insure success for him who is now the people's candidate'
The political opinions of Mr. Bright aro too well known t:
.11 his countrymen to need any formal statement ; his opini°
and his acts aro already a part of the h'story of the world.;
His advocacy of every branch of parliamentary reform ;
devotion to the cause of religious liberty ; his desire to seett
the spread of national education ; his intimate acquaiutanl
with Indian afftirs ; his ivell-known efforts in the cause
commercial and legal improvement; his unceasing attempts fn
obtain a revision of the mo.hed and a reduction of the amoun
of taxation; his opposition to all government jobs, and „
government attempts at interference with the comolareta
freedom of the people; and his unconquerable independence of
.
action, have mule him wor.hv of that expression of the coati
donee of the people which was so heartily given at the meetiPg
on Tuesday. Let all liberals accept the vote of that meeting'
and that no division among us give the conservative party 30
opportunity of obtaining a temporary victory, which will be
disgrace to the town.—By order of Mr. Brigh.'s committee.
