Mr. HYNES then addremed the Electors ea
lowa:—•' After the kind maniter in whirl) I have
been received, I feel it my ditty to say a few words.
I regret, that. on so importstut an session, the
bleeping is tiot more numerals. ;—lout, if it had
been still less numenourly attended. I should think
it necessary to state to you the whole line of con-
duct I have pursued. si'.ee last I met yon.—(" It
is well knows." frost several roiees.l—When you
honoured me. by pimping one in Parliament. twenty-
three tears ego. 1 stood turvoird as the friend of
civil and religious liberty. 1 have supported those
sentituents ever since-1 Save adhered to those who
have untleviatingly advocated them—and, 1 can in-
sure you, if I had altered my *Milian', I should
h see felt se to be my first duty to resign my situa-
tion as your Representative.—(Great applause.) --
The principles 1 have followed are strietly those of
the Revotutinlr, as estahlishetl lit 1688.—(0-
p6oise.)—Other persons. 1 know, love professed
higher and bolder principles of liberty than my-
self; but I always thought it safe., to stick to the
Constitution established by our asictooors--that
Constitution which has esiatileil you to live happily
for yourselves at home, suit has rendered your
tonne glorious and registered abroad.—( Appiattee.)
It is that Constitution which in ode this country,
comparatively small, in mobsy the greatest and
most powerful in the world.—(Afpoloasej-11 I

rights and privileges of the Crow's.— (elppfause )--
Whsle the people feel that their liberties are
protected, they will conduct thenwelves peaceably,
they will be happy and contented ; and, tliertfine.
on that arcouto, from the conimesiceinent of toy
political career, 1 hove endeavoured to do my
duty to my constitureits.—(4pplause )—?erhaps
would. at this time intrude too much on yonr pa-
'jester, if I stated the many measures which I have
opposed. as minecessarily adding to your burdens,
or oppressively trenching on your liberties. I will
not recite them—but whatever the event of the en-
suing election may be, 1 feel iu my heart that 1 acted
towards you as a zealous servant, and never, by any
vote of mine, added unisecessarily to your burdens,
or abridged your liberties.—(Great applause.)—
Impressed with this feeling, I would cheerfully pre-
sent myself to a meeting ten times more numerous
than the present. because I always like to face my
coustituenta its the matt day, anxious to explain to
them, if it be urcessary, every pert of my conduct,
public and private."—( Eathasiostie applause.)
Mr. MELLiiii said, he stood before the Electors
in a situation rather different from that of his late
culleague.—(4 largh.)—lle was generally utifor-
tuoate, when lie addressed these) in dirt room ; but
this day, lie hoped, they would Ise kind and civil
etiough to hear what he had to say. Ile seldom
had a majority in that room.—(" lre hope monomer

majority was sometimes against him, it was only
Oa account of his political opinions, and that they
all, eve,. those who appeared most hostile to I l
gave him credit for being an holiest num..--
(Appl.use.)—They bail, according to the decision
of the Sheriff, to which he was obliged to bow,
come to a vote against him. declaring that lie was
not a At and proper pawn to represent them its
Parliament.—j" True, true; the Ilesolatiou's a very
good one !")—Nov,, with all due respect for the
Gentlemen prevent, and particularly for those who
opposed the Resolution, he begged to state, that
the vote in question should not deter him from
standing the pull, and soliciting all of them fur
their suffrages, in order that be might he again ;placed
in the exalted situation of their Representative.
From that he had seen—from the pr 1111 l i-es *lnch
he had received during leis canvass —and, hiders',
from the exertions of many respectable hie-sods who
were then in the room, he was convinced, that the
kindness. and friendship of the Electors would be
continued towards lons, mid that they oould place
him its the situation he had Assays held, saintly.
at the head of all the other Candidates who aright
offer theinselves.— ("No. tro!")-1 le begged diem to

could fairly justify his acts its the House of Com-

scseoce—lo conceived he had fulfilled the duty un-
posed ou hi ai. If lie gave a cute for his own interest,

then lie eined on the elector to Lire him, and
never to give him a single suffrage as long a. he

guage—and he told them that lie would not accept
of the high trust they conferred on turn, except as
a free agent. He now repeated, that he would be
a mean, dirty fellow—a scoundrel—if, having
come in on these terms, he had not acted as lie had
done. Ile tittered himself that the exertions of
Ins friends would continue. It was his firm resolu-
tion to come forward to the trial, being iterfectly
conviticed that he would aticceed.—(Disapproba-
tion.)--To promise t he electors more thou he had done

I lie challenged any Gentleman there to say, how-

interests of the county. as well all to the general

FOUR Ili DAY.-FRIDAY.

-

The poll this day commenced at the usual hour.
The Ilan, and the streets in its immediate vicinity,
presented the raise appearance air they did yester-
day. The green-bag, and the several placards an.
pouncing the inertia and 'pretension., of the rival
Candidates, were paraded as on the day preceding.
Nothing very• remarkable occurred during the early
part of the day. The Candidate*, as they appeared
on the hustings, were received either with favour or
disapprobation, as their viaduct, pest or asitici-
paled, accorded with the sentiments of the people
to witnes% the proceedings. As the ex-
pression of these various feelings was uninterrupted,
the clamour never ceased for a single moment from
the coinsiienceineot of the pull to its close.

During the course of the day a freeman in the
garb of a Quaker, whose name we understood was
Coibytt, 'Approached the hurting., for the purpose
or .tiling. Di, isame, resideuce, company, &c. be-
ing written, he ..a% r►ked by the Polling Clerk fur

some lime, in which the worthy Baronet himself
joined ?NM heartily.)

Mr. WSITitNIAN then appeared iii front of the
hustings, and was cheered in the most enthusiastic
rummer. After some minutes, silence bring oh-
tented, he said—•• Gentlemen, I have still to con-
gratulate you upon the display of public feelings
manifested in the course of this poll. I noticed
yesterday a foul and false cooluoutiy that had been
circulated, to do me an injury. I told you then
that the discomfiture of so vile a fabrication would
have an effect very different from what had been
contemplated. But although the state of the poll
this day stews that I had not miscalculated on the
Felirrolis feelings of the Livery, I understand that
it had the effect of creating a strong prejudice
against me, and was the cause of k-aping me down
sin the poll veirterday.—(A hiss from the crowd.)--
I say it duel produce some effect ; but the com-
plete refutation of it has finally served met for,
with reference to those below me, I staind even in
a better situation than I did yesterday.—{ Load
and continued applause.)—This day, Gentlemen, let
me remind you, is the 663.1 anniversary of the
great vindication of our rights, by compelling
King John to sign Magna Charter.—(Load coed en-
thasiaitic applause.)-1 congratulate ynu that you
have on this occasion evinced a spirit and a Man-
ures in cousiter,cling a strong influence, as great as
was displayed by your ancestors.--(App/arse.)—
Public rights are not to be obtained or ',reserved
without greet effort,. It was ant without strong,
exertions that your inicestorti established their inde-
pendelice; for although personal liberty is asserted
by Magna Charts, it yet sustained so many inroads
as to require the confirmation given to it by the
Act of Habeas Corpus.—(Some disapprobation,
follutted by applause.)—But formerly these inroads
upon public liberty were made openly, and there-
fore less dangerously, they had nut then recourse
to die modern expedient of Gaining green bags._
Were Mr. W. was interrupted by a burst of ap-
plause that continued for several minutes. The
expression was instantly applied to Sir W. Curtis
and Alderman Atkins, and it added not a little to
the amusement of the crowd, to see Sir W. Curtis
striving to conceal himself behind Mr. ‘Vaithiliaii,
and occioioually chewing his good.hinninired coun-
tenance almost under Mr.Waithinan'a skirts. The
tumult having subsided, lie proceeded] —" The
inroads in ancient times were less insidious, for
they were not effected by means of spies and in-
formers. and, being open. the people were better
etosbled to secure themselves against violence....
(Applause.)--1 have now a particular favour to beg
of you, which is, that you will allow the worthy
Geutlemen who follow me to address you. They
have loy some means incurred your displeasure,
and perhaps if you permit them, they will be able
to explain every thing satisfactorily.—(Loaghter.)
—We have heard a great deal about loyal principle'
and /aye/ interests during this elettion, and I know
that there is a particular body of the Livery who
affect au exclusive loyalty, whieh must, of course,
imply, that the rest of the Livery, the great ma-
jority, are disloyal.—(Near.)—To love, vencrote,
and obey the laws, is the true meaning of the word
loyalty, but with these exclusive Gentletneu loyalty
mans nothing more than au unvarying complaisance
to, his Majesty's Aliniaters, and to support and vote
for every thing they desire.—(Applause.)—But I
would beg of these Getotlenieu to come forward
here boldly, and say, if they believe that any part
of the Livery are disloyal. I know they dare not,
cannot do it."—(Applause, mired with some disup.
probation, followed by a boxing match, in the very
middle of the crowd.)—The Gentlemen being se.
pirated, Mr. Writliman proceeded I am very
sorry that this interruption has taken place, but
when the disloyal Livery and the exclissise
frieuds to social order meet, such a result might
be expected.—(.4pplaase.)--To thew, however,
the foulness and falsehood of the allegation. every
titan in this disloyal livery aPpeared joyfully in
arms to support our King and Constitution', when
the country was threatened with invasion.—(Ea-
rhusiastic applause, with shunts of " And will
again!")—The exclusive Gentlemen too, were, out
that occasion, the first to say, •' Though we may
differ in political sentiments, yet we all love our
country, let us all unite," and they were not afraid
to put arms into our lauds.—(Applaase.)-1 have
only to request of you to persevere in your exer-

Sir Wm. CURTIS then came forward, but the
uproar was so discordant that the worthy Baronet
