I.lltOt'SilltiE ELECTION

the expected molest for the vacant seat in the
Representation of the colinry is at ass end. On Fri-
day (the day after UM nomination) Mr. Childe's
friends held a meeting. at which it was voted. by a
majoeity, that lie should commence a poll. A sob-
scriptiun was then proposed, and several liberal,
rums were put down, viz. 1.0013/. from she Earl of
Bridgewater, 3,000!. by she Hon. Candidate's father,
ore or two sums by persona anonymously, mid
altr-
gether amounting to about 15,000/. This amount,
however, being considered Insufficient so risk a On-
test, Mr. Childe declared his determination so witi .
draw. The meeting afterwards voted resolutions,
approving his " late conduct," which." in the opi-
nion of she meeting, merited the warmest thanks of
this county."
On Thursday evening, after the nomination, se-
veral of Mr. Chililt's friends had a dinner provided
for them at the Castle Inn, Mardol ; so had many
of Mr. Pelham's friends. Forty gentlemen free-
holdery partisans of Mr. Pelham, provided a din-
ner fi# themselves at the Britannia tuu ; and several
spirited partisans invited many friends of the same
candidate to entertainments at various inns, and
who made themselves merry and proclaimed their
triumph. But there is not the slightest truth iii
the sulky assertion which has been published, that
any " apprehension of tumult was entertained ;"
nor any ground for the inaendo that " entertain.
men's" were given by Mr. Pelham as a reward for,
or " in connexion with, previous riot and disturb-
ance." He also pens such inuendues knows their
falsehood. We ourselves regret, and are willing to
express the strongest censure, that the endeavours
of Mr. Pelham and his respectable friends could
not obtain for the opposing party a quiet hearing
(the diaappoititment was, doubtless, as great to the
one candidate and his immediate friends as to the
other and his friends); still it will be argued that
the combination couimeticed with Mr. Childe stud
a few of his party; and if the people refused him,
es a candidate. a fair hearing, his politics au a Re-
presentative are considered by many as excluding
them from a fair hearing in a wore important place.

not a vestige of any of her unfortunate crew lass
