COUNTY OF DOWN ELECTION.

rile two late Members, Viscount Castlereagh, and
Lard Arthur Ilili, were re-elected for this county with-
out opposition.—On the Sherift tkc:aring the uusni.
*tutus voice of the freeholders in tiwir favour,

• Lord Castlereagh resit and addressed the free-
holders. Ite begged leave to return his most gratetitt
thanks to the freeholders for the honour they bad cow.
furred on him. lie said he could assure them, that he
entertained u deep sense of their thvour ; and was well
aware of the arduous responsibility of the trust which
they haul 'again reposed in him. It was peculiarly
grateful to his feelings, that, after h,tvh served them'.
for 21 years, he had obtained this unanimous testimony'.
at their amirebation. He begged leave to remark, that'
there was nnineOrisistentiy in returning his Iltmobrable
Friend - (Lord Arthur and himserf—although
they might differ in political opinions., the' aim of both
was the public good. It was only hr the -honest eon-
fliet of opinions that truth was eliciesi. It woeld'ho: '
impossible for the most enlightened cabinet..to .govern
a nation without an honest conflict of opinions. He
hoped they would give him 'credit tier having acted al. •
I ways from honest motives,' and he should rever shrink
I from responsibility. llis Lordship, in a most eloquent
,
ana appropriate manner, contrasted the time when he
last visited this country, with the present. The COMP.'
try, he observed, was then in the utmost di tress owing
• to the recurrence from a state of war to that of peace
—fir we had been engaged in a contest for our very
existence as a nation ; and in that contest Great Britain '
had triumphed, and crowned herself with glory.
pro-
vidcnee, however, then, in order to cheek our exulta-
tion, haul visited us with a most inclement season—he
recollected, in a penicilliar manner, that. the wheat oft*
farm which was occupied by his father, was then eV-
vered with snow. Now the contrast was most gratethlt
and it was his hope that prosperity would again visit the
land ; nothing could exceed the beautitid verdure of
this happy country, and he could assure them, it was
not confined to this country, tbr it was general. Arts
and manufactures also were again flourishing, and all
was one active scene of employment. Linen had again
found a good market, and, he felt confident that their
abundant harvest would find a market in Great Britain.
!Ifs Lordship further ebservisl, that every human insti-
tution was liable to defects, but every person must be
convinced that under no constitution did the people en-
joy a greater share of civil and religious liberty than in
- Great Britain ; and as lung as freedom of discussion
in both [louses of Parliament existed; and as :wig as
we were in possession, of a free press, no real abuse
would be brought forward without its correction or a;
remedy being finale.. Changes or !Reforms must take
place deliberately, for all changes made abruptly or
I hastily came to no good. His Lordship again expressel
his acknowledgements for the honour they had done
him, and said that not only in Parliament, butt to the
latest hour of his exist( nee. he should entertain the
must gratetid recollection of their kindnes.
Lord Hill then rose and shortly returned thanks
to the freeholders, mid said, he should always endeavour
to deserve their confidence, In a particular manner he
acknowledged his gratitude to the gentlemen who ha I
moved and seconded his nomination. Otte of these
gentlemen, he said, had alluded to his public services in
the army—lie should only observe,
that when his
country required his services. he would be rotund suing
his duty.

Immediately after the election, the \Linbers were
chaired in the usual ti,rin, aecionipaiiiva lry the pla.:dits
