MONTGOMERY CfIUNTY ELECTION.

The Election for the above place was held at
Montgomery on Monday se' 'ght. About twelve
o'clock the valuables's(' highly-esteemed late Mem-
ber, C. W. IVilliams Wean, F.sq. arrived, attended
by a numerous assemblage of Montgomeryshire
gentry and freeholders.
Col. EDWARDS, the High Sheriff, having opened
the business,
Lord Viscount CLIME proposed Mr. Wynn. His
Lordship said, it was extremely gratifying to his
feelings to have the honour of proposing fur the re-
election of the Freeholders a Gentleman so well
qualified to discharge the duties of this important
office. A mere bigot in politics, or in religion, was
a character not to I,e depended on. With regard
to himself, lie must let the quirstims be decided by
his general conduct ; but for his friend, Mr. Wynn,
lie must say, that practice on all occasions coin-
cided with that high estimate which had always
been formed of him. It was true there were shades
of ditirrenca iso the political opinions of Mr. Wynn
and himself, but he tausted all would suppose they
were only eudeavouriog to attain, by two paths, one
and the same object—the welfare of their common
country. To the privileges of Pathament Isis Ilts.
Friend had paid the deepest attention, wisely cots-
stiletto* that 00 the proper caution of the poser
of that branch of the Legislature depended every
thing valuable to a free people. To eulogize such
a public character was unnecessary—their unani-
mous election of I for twenty-two years was u
decisive proof of the just estimate a Inelt tie free-
holders had formed ; and he verily lathered, that
there was not a suture zealous, indepeinteist, ur use-
ful Member its the House of Commons.

A thew of hands w:oi taken, and the !Biel Sheriff
having declared ‘Vynn duly tlettid,
Mr. WYttn, with much feeling. said, that he
could not adequately express his tleink, to those
who, for a period of twenty-two years, had returned
him with such kind unanimity. 11. hen originally
