years had now elapsed since be had first taken part

such occasions, he *soured them he had never made
his appearance there before with more real pleasnre

To recommend to their choice a man bug known
and dear to them, whose long-tried and faithful
services they, must have all often appreciated,
a man not only most able, but whose character in
every view of it was truly worthy—need he name Sir
Francis Burdett ?—(Greet applause). —To call on
them to elect unanimously such a MAN IMO only to
ask Olean not to disgrace themselves, for they would

triumphantly re-elected. Even long before the
worthy Baronet had been their Member, he was
known to them for his patriotism and iudependence.
His only course had been that of a man beat upon
the promotion of the real interests of the people,

people.—(applause.)—When lie called fur this un-
equivocal teat, he meant to make no personal allu-

longer, but propose the unanimous re-election of
their able, tried, and efficient late member, Sir
Francis urdett.--(opplaase.)
Mr. Pcsase seconded the worthy Baronet's
nomination.
Sir FRANCIS Bomover then came forward, and
was received with the loudest vcclainationv. As
