MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

XEETING OF THE FRIENDS OF MR. JAMES
JOHNSON.

Last even'rig the fr'en Is of Mr. J tines Johnson. the
vetirirg tnernher for the Lime-street Ward, assembled at
the Swan Hotd, London road, for the pu-pose of taking
measores to secure the return of that gentleman, as the
repres.-ntative of the electors of that ward, in the Town
CJune'.l, at he approaching municip tl election.
The m eting, al'hough limi ed ac to numbers, war
earseedi•gly ocanitnou:. and showed the respect and esteem
that is felt in the ward, by the electors, for Mr. Johnson,
and the sorvice he has rendered by his attention to the
dui s of t.e once he has so ably tiled for the rast few
years. The fo' I. twing wt re amongst tkegentlemen /repent
Messr . Copper, Nelson, Proctor, Tracey, Barton, Condliffe,
Leven,irr, Cora ► G!eave, Lnva, O. Chalk, Parry, 'Kings-
land, Jonas Gleave, Rowley, Dr 'Shaine, Powell, Bannister,
Brandritt, illiama, Oreliin, Clucas, Buxton, Watson,
B tssford, Aoodbrirr, Elst wood, &e.
after the hour appointed for holdingthe riveting,
"Mr. Tlaemas Reay, the Chairman of the Commi tee, was
called upon to preside. Ides taking the chair, he said that
he tholcbt the beet war to proceed on that-occasion would
be at dice to go to thelcsiness. They all knew for what
they '_'ere assembled, which was to promote the return of .!
Mr. ohrson, who had so faithfoly r.epreaented them 'nit
nine years. He'theebriefly stated the-steps that had been
taken by the Liberal committee, who had expressed an
oplsion that the Tories might be adsi ted, but the r suit
wee, that aftertbe ilheral committee tat held a meeting,
ald declined to "'bring out Mr. Johnson," his finis had
met, and a revinitition- was sent to 'that gentleman, signed
ty the elett trs °Peach side of pcliiirs, acd he had again
cnsented. to represent the ward. He then eulogimi 'he.
industry aid talett displayed by that gen lemar, as their
representative, lay his exertions ,irpcomrt ittee and his grn•-
ral Y.,tea, an i -quoted soma obaorvations th it had tw,e n made
1w she TAberaivcommittee of Mr. -J,thrstAt's past sers let's
He thartgvir, that the recommendation was one of the best
deseriptimi for him, and he w s surprised, after that, that
thetr ghoul Mare discarded bin; but so it was. He then

concluded ,ha sayinz that Mr. johns)n was p-repent, and
that 13- w )ulil be m st happy to answer any questions that
mizbt be rut to him; fir although not an orater,.he was a
man of sterling honesty, and the electors wovefl do well to
retain his-s:rvices.

Mr. J. -R. Cooper then •etivre forward to stiowthe .fi rat
resolnier. He diffirfd with Mr. Johnsin
had a g-eat respect for hitn, &and would de all he could
to promote his- rezure. He was aware that Mr. 'Johnsen
was not an orator, bit he filled the office of Chairman ot

zeveratooramittees. and lie did his duty on all and oack of
th,Fe tommittata, aad it could be ties'ed, it would
be foand hit those men who mada the grea'est nunber of

" flowery" speeches, were the worst attend n's, and there-
fore concluded by moving the first resolution-1: —" That
the beat thanks of this mee'ing be given to Mr. James
Jnbcjs r, f.r his vrvices spa i unremitting.attention to the
duti,s of his olifi:e. as Town Councillor far Lime-street
Word, and that ha be again nomina'ed as a mentis3r or ..he
-Town • Conn!il. to repretent this Wald, on the first of
Ne,mh r next."
'Proctor bri flu seeentiel the re3olution, which
was unanitnouily adopted, amidit the cheers of the
meeling. _

Ilf r J meg'J .hnson then ,eame forward, and was most

tntinsiaaticall., received. '
.He said, that he wished he
eosl I .find words to express his thanks for the way he bad
been received by the electors on that evening_ Ho• felt
that the Chairman had said more of him thin he had a
right to do— (cti s of co, to—but all he could say was this
if he hadis-ven satisfaction to them whom h 3 had repre-
sented, Ed woul I sly the he bad been amply repaid
for all he had dole tile would say, that if he
hal consulted Lis own interests he should hive
shrurtk from again ..com'ng forwaid, and h
cculd assu e them that the dutiei he had to Terform
took a great dell of his time, and was a great tax on his
con3rotts, but having been prevwed with such a memorial
as had been,s -nt to him, he entld not resist the tempt lion
of again ier.d3ring his ser6e:s to .the ratepayers—Cheat,

hear, and applause) —and if was the wish of the electors
that he sh-uld again represent them, he world do so, and
he would, as heretofore, do al to the best of his ability.

Since he had repref e ,ted the ward, be had done his b,.st
to,perform the doles that devolved ,upon him iswartiLl y,
-and. for the benefit of all classes, and all he wool t say was,
that if be;htd given offence to one single individual in th-s
wort 1, it been cline unintentiona)ly. He had acted to
the best of his j tigment, and if ag,in returned, he would
xontinue to do the some. (Hear, hear) But he would
say, that what h; bad done he had done without being die-
listed to, and he rosier would, btr, at the same time, he
sto&d alwo).s be m st tap y to ree,ive infoination from
as:ratepayer. He was always Deady to cmamunicate aii.h
af.y o' the lowest as well as the hisaett of the ward, for
he: that he did not only teprecent tiss elcetoss.

--but also the non-electors, many of whom had
a great stake in the aff sirs of the town, ( Rear, hear.)
Si.ce'he had been a member of the Council these had
been many subj?cts of great importance brought under con-
.sideration, and there were yet many that had been held in
abeyance; and all he could sly wis, that they should all

and each of them have his b at consideration and attentim).
.( Hea-, hear:) 'He had never presented himself 83 an
orator, nur had he, lik-t some, indulged in e:oqtient speak-
ing—he bad.ntater professed that—bat he 1.141 l professed to
attend to his duties as a committe-man, and that he thou ht
be btd dose, and it would be acknow'edged by all.
(Oneero.) He was a member of the Health C ,mrni:ter,
and the Watc't ,Committee, and the Markets Committe ,
each of which-Lad many sub-committee', to all of which be
bad attended,; and Ira would say, without spoLking in
prai.e of Inn-rlf, that the number of times ha had attended
would bear comparison wi h auy other member of the
Council. (Chaeaa.) H ,ving briefly alluded to the com-
mun:c ation he had undyed from the "Liberal Committee,"
he concluded, amilst the most enthusiastic cheering, by
observing that if -it was the wish of the electors to return
him, he would, as heretofore, do his duty.
Mr. Bannister then moved the following resolution

" That this meeting pledge itself to use all legitimate means
to secure the election Mr. James Johcson, on the Ist of
November next, and that a committee be appo-nted to
secure his return'"
Mr. Thomas Burton seconded the motion, which was
unanimously adopted.
Mr. _Johnsen then briefly alltriel to the proceedings of
the Health Cammittee„ and teated that it was perfectly
becoming that they should have, what might 114,- called,
"arbitrary vweis," if .not, they mid not to their duty
to the tows, but he tvid that he had never seen those
powers im; roperly use] .since he had been a member of the
kle ilth Commi•tee, which hal extended over a period of
from between seven and tight year-, tie had always seen
the powers the, possessed applied with moderation, and
while be held a seat at that committee, such should be
eletinned.
The committee having been proposed and agreed to,
Mr. Johnson moved a vote of thanks to the chairman,
which was unanimously carried, and alter giving three
hearty -cheers for Mr. Johnson, which were duly responded
to,
The meeting then separated.
