health drunk by sn numerous and respectable a
body of freeholders as were then assembled. He
had never had the painful feelings of laioviiting
utter the loss of their liberties, for he never knew
them to be possessed in their legitimate and proper
%:rgree. From his youth, he remembered that the
ft:preset:boron of the county of Hants was subject
.0 the domination of the Minister of the day. It
has long hasp held us a common sentiment by every
set of Nliiiisters that had successively governed the
station, that the influence of Government in these
town* would at all times insure a majority in the
county; it was, in fact, a common 'dime in the
comity, " That the Minister must have his men."
But he (Mr. Carter) believed that on the present
°cession he would not have his men ; that the two
Members now returned were 'wither of them, he
believed, of ministerial nomitiation ; he was eel.-
rain his friend (if he would permit him to call
eau) so), Mr. Jervoise, would not be at the nod
of any Minister; that he would not obey the
" Circular" call of any Noble Lord in Admi-
unitration. He (Mr. Carter) had not, alien Mr.
Jervoise offered himself to the county, inquir-
tit particularly into his precise political senti-
ments; it was enough for him to know that in
Mr. Jervoise the county would have au opportunity
of asserting its independence; that Mr.J. was him-
self an independent mail, whose sole intent would
he to serve his constituents honestly and faithfully.
it was the destruction of this utinistetial
uomi-
natiou of the County Member', this worse than
domestic tyranny, the freeholders were this day met
to celebrate, and to felicitate themselves on having
made choice of Mr. Jervoise as their Represen-
tative. lie (Mr. C.) did not object to the practice
he had alluded to as being that of the Minister of
to-day or of yesterday, brit that any should dare
thus to invade the rights. liberties, and competencies
of the freeholders; for if they were such as he ap.
proved of their general measures of Government.
he should he in direct hostility to them upon all
ititerfcrence and dictation of this kind. Here (in
Porisatouili) the hydra had raised its head, and
Inne, he trusted. it had received its deadly blow:
but 114 it was in the nature of power long held. not
to p irt without struggles, helvad oh doubt, when
the next opyorriunity occurred, that attempts would
he made to renew the application of this talismanic
influence, which had on the present occasion failed
in its effect ; he, therefore. would advise the lades
re intent friends of the county to be vigilant, united,
r 191 detenninerl in their effotts to prevent every
estleiscpt. Mr. C. said lie would conclude by
y!tilig as a toast, appropriate. he thought, at the
coinniencement of a new reign—
" The love of s free and iudepenslent people."
The health of the Rey. JAMES Si EN 111 LS,
Citric of Wymerina. heing given, as " The
Fri.anl of the Poor." he ruse and said, he felt
h'ghly honoured by the flattering manner in which
irs health !tad been drunk. and, whatever may be
the state of the country, be hoped ever to have leis
ci [me associated as the friend of the poor. He
w itattly congratalsted the friends of independence
ear the event they had met that day to celebrate—
described in very animated terms the character of
I. friend. Mr. Jervuise. and alluding to the politi-
csl sentiments of that Gentleman, said, he was
swore that. to oppose the measures of those who
possessed rite authority of the Government, was too
u.tro construed lido an opposition to the King and
Catretit te ion, and subjected melt persons to be de-
laminated as Radicals—a species of political
whose wild, wicket,. and visionary schemes of Uni-
aerial Suffrage and equalisation of ranks and pro-
p--y, must, if carried intaieffect to-day, be, in the
v.ry nature of thing*, destroyed to-morrow. lf, he
would mar, a desire to see a retrenchment of the pre-
sept 1111ree y expenses of the country---the
abc-
-1 of all useless offices, sinecures, and pen-
coas—and the extravagant and wasteful course of
exlwtiditure pursued by Ministers, done away, and
the taxes taken from the middling classes and the
ittior. and placed more on the shoulders of the rich,
w I:0 are better aide to bear them ; with the rights
of the people, and our civil and religious liberties
preserved. are the constituent principles of Rath.
co!isni—then, so far, he must avow himself to be of
trat cl ; baba, as is well known, these are not the
pri3ciples of Radicals—and, therefore. however cp..
probriou• the names he must be content. to bear
with it. as it was quite impossible he could give up
hi•jititgnieut and his feelings on this subject, winch
were decidedly, that such meaner's. in the present
eitcutuatances the country particularly, ought to
be resorted 10. Having oohs alluded to the pre-
sent italependent Mate of the county represeutatton.
and the necessity there would be for smiting in
snaictaitaing it, the Rev. Gentleman concluded by
" A loos poll, a strong pull, and a pall altogether."
C. J. Myron. Esq. expressed his perfect agree.
