to light charge against the Magistracy. It was, however, all
false: and yet the person who told these falsehoods had the impu.

ful to every freeholder. He had much pleasure in proposing Mr.
fellows, for the fifth time. In his ooi,nion he had served the
county faithfully in four Perl]aments; and ether so long a ser-
vice. and Itavnit• been known to the freeholders I.ir no mini yam,
it was unnecessary for him (Mr. T.) to eller at large into his qua-
lifications for the honour he now snimlit at l'ieir hands. His votes
in Parliament (said 111 r. Torkington) are known to all of you,—
they have been Agreeable to his comicience.—they have been ap-
proved of by you upon former occasims. and i doubt not you will
taunt him again as your representativ.! in Parliament. Tile neat
session w;11 be looked to with peculiar interest as several im ortant
qustions will undrogn the most serious c meideration. With respect to
the ('rithaJle question, Mr. Fellowea had always Men of lonia) that
further immunities could not be granted to the Roman Catholics
with safety ; and upon the suhject of the Corn bawl, he had al-
ways voted for the farmer: and htol thus fully entitled himself to
the continued support of the county.
The nomination was seconded by firOIME THOEIIIII3., RN.
*he said he felt smutted 'hat the confidence which the county had
so Ling reposed in Mr. Fellowes hail never been misplaced. 'From
his situation in life. his character, his tried integrity, his long ser-
vices, his intimate connexion with the freeholders of the county,
and front the support which he has invariably given to the genuine
principles of the Constitution in Church and State, he considered
him to be eminently qualified for tile situation.
Mr. Fet.towos ;lien presented him& to the meeting, but was
un tide to obtain a licarink
The High Sheriff', Lars! Milton, and Lord John Russell, endea-
voured. in vain. for a considerable time, to induce the meeting to
give the Hon. lientletnim ft heniag. Lord Maine observed
that he wmild snwst to the ni-e,i,nt*, that it was their duty and
interest to hear Mr. Fellooes, in orthr Ilia they might answer the
observations which he might address to them.
Mr. fEt.Low es sil 1, " I ask your suffrages as an independent
gentleman of the county. !bucolic'. voted conscientiously -1 have
never neglected raw interests ; and should you re-elect me I will
sere you inithfutiv. Ihut if von think proper to refuse me this ho-
nour, I shall retire in'o private life with the constiousness of
having discharged my duty."
11. P. STANDL v. Esq. next proposed Lord John Russell, and
&rimed, I hare only to mention the name of Russell, to awaken
you warmest sfeetio,s. IN whole conduct proves that he is the
friend of the pe pie, anti ill at yo.r interests arc nearest to his heart.
tie :Ins Item aceasci id simporting the Catholic., and his eneinies
hare affirmed that it:, object is to overthrow the Church. But
these persons forget that they do not scruple to employ the Cwho-
hcs in the service of 41c ct) lorry ; the 4:Nihon:A do vary well as
soldiers and sailors, and would risk their lives to advance the best
interests of the country. It was only when of9ces of pofit and
emolument were vacant, that they were found to be unfit to be
trusted, anti then their enemies raised the old cry, " The Church
is in danger." But (said the speaker) you will mit surely turn
your backs upon his Lordship in this rec.iunt. Ile has always
been in his place, aml when taxes arc provsed to be repealed, he
not tray votes for tivir reilitetian, but can deliver his sentiments in
footle of the IneaNure he supports, an as to cononand the attention
of the Hons.t a`-,1 the gratitude of the country. In conclusion,
Mr. e::anitly minarkeu, that he hoped the cr:u..ty had some notion
or It, intlett.hile.,ce, Ishii would criers it, by again returning Lord
Johnitussell to Parliament as th; i- Representative.

J. K. ROPER, seerouled the nomination, observing, that
thew,' he regNtted the !ask had not been assigned to abitr hands,
he would imam the metitirat that it could not be committed to arty
man who felt more than I imxlf for the independence of the
county. or stronger fechngs of attachment to Lord John Russell
and liar family. The reccrion with which you have met the men-
tion of his rime is as creditable to rnu as it is honourable to him ;
for it I roves th it you have not been inattentive observers of his
parliamentary conduct. lie had observed, that vtlietievm a candi-
date was braitght tOrtvard, egsirst whom no definite chiege couli
be substantiated, n cry has usually been set up of " No Popery ;"
anti there arc some old =mien in this county who think, that in the
vote which Lord John Russell gave in favour of the Roman Ca-
tholics. he Ind in view the overthrow of the Pr itestant Church,
and the establishment of Popery upon its ruins. Rut in order to
quiet the fart of these old lacks, he would mention the historic
fact, that by means of an ancestor of his Lordship (the Earl of
Re.dforil) the Reformation was effix:ed ; and the old women might
rest assured his Lordship had no wish that they should kiss the toe
of the Pope. With respect to the Corn Laws, he eimsi4ereti that
they might repose great confidence in his Lordship, who would give
his best avention to thia difficult question. la his estimation, how-
ever, the farmers did not require a high price—they rather wanted
a steady price, to enable them to ascertain the worth of their farms
when they entered utmn ;hem. At all events, it would be as wise
to commit this queation to his L-rdship as to the Tory Candidates,
and he felt assured they would be sati-tied with the result.

Lord Joint Resseet. teen presented himself to the Meeting,
within great applause. mid spoke nearly to the following effect ;
" After the able awl eloquent speeches you have heard from the
gentlemen who have so kindly nominated me, it become~ my ditty
to ask, whether I have retained, or whether I have forfeited, the
confidence of my constituents ? What has been my conduct that
after I hare served the county for five years, a combination should
have been formed to exclude me from my seat—a combination
which have not scrupled to use menace and intimidation to effect
their object ? They have elan resorted to misrepresentation, and an
accusation has been made, which 1 have been told I should hear re-
peated on the hustings. They have of that there was an un-
derstanding between me and the Meuse of Montague, that when a
memt)..r of that family came of age, 1 was to resign my seat to him.
1 challenge any one to come forward and substantiate the accusa-
tion publicly. I will pause, and allow them time to make up their
minds to do en, if they can." After a pause of some minutes, his
lewolehip reetimed—" I declare in the presence of my opeortents,
and in the face of this numerous Meeting, that the reptet is false
and calumnious- Yawing thus passed over, or rather fairly met,
the attack upon my pi irate el.areeter, I now boldly ask, what I have
&me to forfeit my pahlie diameter in the estimation of my constitu-
ents? 1 have voted ameinst the imposition of fresh taxes, and for the
reduction of others—is that a crime against the freeholders of Hunt-
ingdonshire ? I have brought forward motions for the reduction of
useless places—is that an offence against my constituents?
In 1818, when there was great ngrieultural distress, the maxi-
mum peke of wheat, net which foreign corn could be im-
ported, was fixed at CBs. Sonic time afterwards, an alters-
ion was proposed in this law, and I sent a letter to my coned-
tuents, advising them not to ask for any alteration in the law, but
to petition for a reduction of texts. This sureestion was adopted
by itlinisters, and at the close of the Session I had the happiness
of finding it alluded to by the Speaker of the Hoyle of Commons
in his Address to the Throne, as the measure which had tended
most to secure the liaptiimee and welfare of the country. Since'
t'iat period, however, there has been a change in public opieton,
and my opinion has underienne some alteration likewise. It has
been *aid that I am an advecate for a free trade ; but I am not—
knewing, that with the heavy pressure of taxation, this country
cannot compete with other nations. To suppose that the farmers
et home could produce corn as low as those aliened could do, was
as absurd as to suppose that in a race, a porter heavily laden could
outrun a person bearing only a feather. Havine said thus much
upon this subject. I aid now turn to another, upon which my con-
duct has been coiled in question, r-!.pecting my vote in favour df
Catholic Emancipatioe. In the last days of the expiring Peelle-
ment, 1 had the honour to present a Petition front the great body
of Protestant Dissenters in London and Westminster., anti I most
fully concur in the sentiments of that petition. I am a friend to
religious as well as to civil liberty—l wish to abolish all religious
tare, and I wish every permit to have the benefit of that abolition.
It has beets said that it would be dangerous to grant liberty to the
Roman Catholic.; but my opinion has lung been made up on
that subject, and you woad deepiee me if, after having formed an
opinion, I had not honesty ereeneh to avow it. Much as I value
my seat, and highly as 1 appreciate the good opinion of the Free-
holders of Huntingdonshire, I would seemer resign it into tbeh
hands than not be allowed to expecte my sentiments upon this and
eyelet other eithjert freely and openly in my place in Parliament.
To grant Emancipation to the Catholics, in my opinion, would not
be attended with danger; and if I might hazard a prediction upon
this subject, I would say, ill it if Emanciration was granted,l
some of the richest Catholics in this country Would,
within fifty years, rank among the best and warmest sup-
porters of the Protestant religion. The ',ruse of Hertel' has
always been the friend of civil and religious liberty, and I
am proud to pay, that an ancestor of trine hart shed his blood in
defence of Pro estantism ; and this at the very time when the UM-
versities of Oxford and Cetmbridge were supporting the tottering
cause of the Papists, and actually presented a memorial to Perlis-
meet, in which they stated that it was the duty of the people to
pay obedience to their rulers in till matters of faith and doctrine.
And yet three very Univershies are now matting forth the cry—
' " The Church is iu danger ;" and a descendent of • be noble house
of Russell is derounced as an enemy to the Protestant Church.
I have now gene over the charges against my private and public
character, and I again nelt you, have I forfeited me claim to your
esteem ? You have your choice. On one side is the cause of inde-
pendence—on the other, the cause of a coalition who will costly

not wish to say one word that would derogate from any of theedwo
Candidates, but he believed that in honour, ability, independence,
or anxiety to serve his country, Mr. Liddell would rank woad to
none. The call that had been made on Mr. Liddell by GOO most
respectable fregh.riders would not be in vain
W. Co. taxi:, Esq. of B:cton, felt great pleasure in seconding
the proposition.
The lion. Mr. LIDDELL was received with great applause. and
spoke nearly as follows :-Lientlenien, it will net be necessary for
