THE NOMINATION.--(THIS DAY.)
(FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.)
The nomination of candidates for the county of Buck-
ingham took place this morning is the County Hall, a
small inconvenient building. No accommodation was
provided for the representatives of the press; and it was
with the utmost :difficulty that the reporters were en-
abled to discharge their duties. It is true a table was
set apart for them by the Sheriff, but as they were not
in attendance an hour before the proceedings were
opened it was not thought necessary to retain it
any longer, said it was accordingly surrendered up to the
" free and independent" supporters of the Right Hon.
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who were certainly
more free in their behaviour towards the reporters than
civil. Dr. Lee, the Liberal candidate, and friends, were
1 the first to present themselves cn the bench, taking up
their position. on the right of the Sheriff. There were
five candidates in the field, namely, the Chancellor
or the Exchequer and Mr. Dupre on the Derby side,
and Mr. Cavendish, Dr. Lee, and Mr. Hentdon, on the
Liberal side. The two former gentlemen were escortedthrough the town by an exceedingly noisy brass; bad
and a numerous body of mounted supporters. They.
were welcomed in the hall with an outburst of cheering,
and the two Honourable Candidates having bowed their
acknowledges tentenesateel thexselvas on the right of the
Sheriff; the Marquis of Chandos and Sir Harry Verney_
were on the hence, while a large side gallery was ePPr
priated to the ladies, who were gaily attired in the
colours of their respective parties.

The HIGH SHERIFF (C. R. S. Murray, Et-Jr) took his
seat on the le mete precisely at ten o'clock, and reminded
the electors t hat they were called to elect three knights
of the shire to serve in the next Parliament.
The usual formalities were then gone through, after

to the conduct of Austria in reference to the expulsion
of the missionaries, and read the electors a homily upon
foreign affairs, which was received with unmistakable
signs of impatience. The Government, he said, had dis•
played a lamentable weakness in reference to this and
other Church matters, and they were, therefore, not en-
; titled to the confidence of the country.—(Hear, hear.)
In addition to all the measures which he had enume-
rated, Mr. Cavendish had supported a reform in the
county-rate expenditure, and had for years :advocated the
moral and religious education of the people.—(Cheers.)
Mr. Cavendish was, besides, a good friend, a good
neighbour, a geed landlord, and he hoped he would be
allowed to remain a good.ll-leceher of Parliament.
The Marquis of CHANDOS next proposed Mr. Dis-

Gentleman had done the work of the Whigs well, and
if the electors of Buckinghamshire honoured him
their confidence once more, he bad no doubt the counts
would ba greatly benefited by the result.—(Hear, hear.)!
dir. J. T. SENIOR proposed Dr. Lee, a
and valued servant of the county, and one who,
if elected, would do them justice in the Legis
lature.—(Hoar, hear.) The present was a do-nothing
Government, for while their borough candidates were
Free-traders, those who camel into the counties talked
largely- about justice to Lisa agricultural interest.—
(Hear, hear.) He had abstained from interfering in the
two previous elections, wishing to give the Government
' an opportunity of propounding their measures, bat they
had none to propose, and the time had arrived when the
farmers, if they wished for justice, must help themselves.
Mr. GIBES seconded Dr. Lee's nomination for twenty
reasons, but perhaps one would be enough to satisfy
them —(Hear, hear.) Dr. Lee was a good landlord, an
exemplary magistrate. and a member of an old Buck-
inghamshire house. Indeed, many of the Doctor's te-
nants had held their farms since the reign of Henry the
Eighth, and he was beloved throughout the county be-
cause he was the champion of the poor man's rights.
The Doctor was opposed to the game-laws, a supporter
of free trade, an advocate of an equalizttion of poor-rater,
and a friend to the religious education of the people,
and as they had to choose between him and the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, he called upon them to elect
the Doctor.
Taero being no other candidate to propose,
Mr. DIIPEE stepped forward, and was received with
cheers. He said he admitted that it was somewhat
presumptuous in him to solicit the suffrages of the elec-
tors of the county. but he had been solicited to come
forward by an influential body of friends whose wishes
he could not disregard. He had not the eloquence
of some Members, but had the independence and deter-
mination to see that justice should be done to all.—
(Hear.) He readily allowed that the manufactering in-
terests of the land were prosperous and the people
happy, but there was one class suffering from a sudden
change in our commercial system, and with the view to
their real relief he should always be ready to support
an alteration in the mode of levying the taxes of the
couutea,—(elear, hear, and cheers.) It was ad-
distrass.—(l/0„..

Ho was, however, not only opposed to the ballot, but to

(Cheers.) These were hia political views, and he trusted,
as they had the confidence of the country, the electors
would more more return him to Parliament.

d with this brief preface he begged

those who disagreed with Dr. Lee in thinking that
the suffrage ought to be extended to the fair sex.—(A
laugh.) He had always been of opinion that if universal
suffrage was to be granted there 'should be no distinction
of eexes.—(A laugh.) Certainly he would not support
what wes called universal suffrage with that limited and
ditgracefal restriction.—(gear, hear.) A lady sat upon
the throne, while many of her fair subjects were occa-
sionally called upon to discharge the duties of
churchwardens and. overseers, anti therefore, when the
whole subject of universal suffrage was brought forward,
ho would not consent to support it except upon the con-
dition that the ladies were allowed to participate in the
benefits of the exteasion.—(Laughter.) Passing to the
next topic in order, he came to the attack which an
lion. Baronet had made upon the Ministry, but the Hon.
Baronet must have been smarting under the influence of
the hot weather when he thought of introducing them
to the subject of Tuscan politics.--e(Oh, ob, and

(Hear.) He regretted that the Hon. Baronet had lust his
teat for Bedfordshire, because hia speech to-day would
have been* reserved for Parliament,—(Hear, and cheers.)
Now, four months ago ho . was returned for this county
without opposition, and he . thought, under the circum-
stances in which he now found himself, he had a right
to ask what he had done in that time which should have
forfeited, their confidence?—(A Voice—" You have done
nothing.") The most then, that could be said against
him was, that he had done nothing. Surely no candi-
date had.. ever appeared before a constituency with
more advantage than he did now; but he defied any
man to lacy his baud upon -his heart and say that the
Government had done nothing.—(Hear, hear.) The

They brought forward other measures, such as those of

out the recommendations of the Chancery Com-
missioners, and on one occasion Sir James Graham,
while allowing the importaece of the reforms recom-
mended, exclaimed in despair, where can you find the
man to carry them out?—(Hear, hear.) Now, the pre-
sent Government did find that man in the Lord Chan-
cellor, and besides that they gave one of our colonies
an important constitution and passed two extensive
measures of sanitary reform.—(Hear, hear.) Could it
be said then that Government had done nothing within
the past four months, or that he had been guilty of any-
thing in that brief space which should induce them to
withhold their confidence from him for the future?
So much then for the past, and now for that something
which looms in the future.—(Hear and a laugh.)

the future, was this, that ;n a few days he should be one
of the Members for the county of Buckingham.—(A
laugh.) But joking aside, he must say a word or two as
to the future policy of the Geverement.—(Hear, hear.)
No one could suppose that the present Administration
had any intention, or ever had any intention of re-
storing protection.—(Hear, hear.) Neither he nor
they had ever expressed any desire or intention
to bring back the laws which were repealed in 1846, but
be had never shrunk either in or out of the House of
Commons from expressing his opinions as to the effect
which the repeal of that law must inevitably produce. He
always held that the law repealed in 1846 was repealed
in panic .
• and precipitation, and ho had never hesitated to
confess that in assisting to accomplish what might have
leeen a necessary end the interest of one great class was
not only wholly lost sight of, but absolutely sacrificed.—
(Rear, hear.)
Tho moment they resolved upon that
changehe came to the conclusion that they
mustsooner or later have to consider the
financial system of the country, with theview to
its adjustment. —(Eleer, hear.) That was
