FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 9, 1852.

iat least, I can sty—l have acted in the face of day. My
public life—either for good or evil—stands in a clear
light. It is in the power of every man to judge what,
on the whole, has been the course of my proceeding. I
tell you—not on my own account, but for the sake of
public men in general—it is for the interest of the public
that you should not pry too closely into the characters of
public men, nor hunt too narrowly for particular excep-
tions to their general condnet. Look rather to the
general tenor of their lives. Try them by this test—has
avarice or ambition misled them from the path of
public duty—have they, in the course of long public
service, gained honours and advantages for them-
selves at the cost of the pnbiic? Try me by this
test, end I fear not the result.--(Loud cheering.)
IF, on the whole, my conduct will bear this test, would
you act wisely and justlym to 'ark the close of such a
public life with your reprobation?—(No.) And let me
glance at what I have done. I have helped out of office
w secure to the great body of my fellow subjec's
throughout the United Kingdom perfect equality of civil
rights without religious distinctioo. In the service of
the Crown I helped to wipe away the great reproach of
British freedom by the emancipation of the negroes in
the British 0 denies. In office with Lord Grey and Lord
John Russell, I was entrusted with the preparation of
the Reform Act, and on that occasion I certainly had
the good fortune greatir to extend the popular rights of
my fellow citizens.—(Cheers.) When in power I was a
party to issuing the commission of inquiry from which
emanated the great measure of municipal reform that
established the principle of self-government in our cor-
paretic:Ds. lam sure there cannot be- a popular as-
sembly in which the names I am about to mention will
not command sympathy and respect. —la- conjunction
with my departed friend Sir Hebert Peel,--(Bear, hear)
—I was fortunate enough to contribute to great on;
dirt akin; of supplying the people of this country wi
cheap bread. I alto aided that great statesman
repealing all the duties on the raw.' material
manufacture by means of which, and the me
before alluded' • to, the food and clothing
of
the poor and needy have,' beentt greatly c ea-
pened.—(Cheers.) More than this, I did my best,' and
not unsuccessfu ly, to establish the peace of Europe, by
cemtnting;thosq . miettble relations with foreign powers
which free etth e i,.‘,.,.. ' xfended 'commerce never fail to
bring in thei esnt. "":`"e this all? Great attachment to
law refornili e `'seen on the other tide. Before I left
office in 1846, I prepared a County Courts Bill, which I
gave to my successor, and, almost without change, it
has become the law of the land.—(Cheers.) Even the
other day—out of office—unbought, and having no per•
sonel object to gratify, I devoted my time during last
year elraost exclusively to the Commission of Inquiry
into the abuses of the Court of Chancery, from which
emanated the measure of reform on account of which
Lord Derby's Government has taken much credit to
itself. With respect to the British colonies, extending
as they do to the utmost limits of the earth, I have given
nay strenuous support to ail attempts to emancipate them
from the threldona and overweening infleence of
the mother country. In short, I have borne my
part with the best men in their best actions during
the last thirty-two years, anti I can honestly say
with Berke, "I can shut the book; I might wish to
real a page or two more, but I have done enough for the
full me Isure of my ambition, and I hive endee-
veered not to live in vain."—(Great applause.) Well,
'then, after perambulating Engtend, I have come home
at last, and once more appear b -fore the Carliele consti-
tuenoy. I have no personal object to gratify,—(some
Isughter on the beatings.) The gentlemen who pro-
possd and seconded me on the other side should not
meek zia:', with derision. If . they think I have any per-
, zonal object to gratify, why did they nominate me as a
I eiedidate ?—(Applause.) I repeat that lem influenced
by no personal object on this occasion. I see a great
public iaterest at stake, and I think it of the last im-
ports:lea thanthit cepital of' the herders should send no
tablui voice to the approaching Parliament.—(Loud
chests.) If the electors of Carlisle think that free trade
can be.shfely'eutrusti,d to the guardianship of itr ens-
nates, let theth return, a Derbyite; if, on the contrary,
they thief: it 'should he entrusted to the guardianship of
its friends, let them return me and Mr. Ferguson. If
the electors of this city shall be of opinion that the
time has arrived when, wi,li reference to the
public interest I should withdraw from the public
service, I will respectfully retire; if, on the other hand,
they be of opinion that my labours may stilt he useful to
the public, I am
content for a short time longer to give
to the public I cannot
my best exertions.--(Cheering.)
promise you that they will be more z'alous, more
energetic,
than they have been, nor am I vain enough to
expect that
my exertions can be attended with greater
success than has crowned my past efforts. It now only
remains for me to thank you cordially for the kindness
with which you have heard me. I bear no resentment
to any gentleman oosite; and if, during this contest,
I have uttered a syllable offensive tort,any one it has been
unintentionlly.—(Applause.) I say, with the utmost
possible respect, that you, the electors, have a great duty
to perform. You have to decide who, on the whole, aro
the persons
leave the case._ ill
fittest to represent the city of Carlisle. I
year hands, . and abide your decision
with anxiety, but also with great confidence.—(Cheers.)
Mr. HODosort said the time had arrived when the
electors of Carlisle were called upon to return two re-
presentatives to Parliament. Never had they been
called upon to exercise the privilege of electors under
more trying circumstances, and it became them to select
as their representatives men in whose political honesty,
courage, and consistency they could confide. A sneer
had been passed on him en the alleged ground that he
had thought fit to change his mind on certain political
questions; but ho hoped to satisfy them, before ho con-
cludedethat he had been guilty of no inconsistency
whatever.—(Applause.) No one could canvass the con-
stituency of Carlisle without being aware of its opinion
on the question of free trade: The Right Hon. Baronet
had twitted him as if he had changed his opinions on
that question; but he told' the Right Hon. Baronet
to his face that he (Mr. Hodgson) was a free trader long
before he was.—(Cheers.) The candidates for whom
he had voted in Carlisle had always been free-traders.
That was the case with Sir Philip Musgrave
when he opposed Mr. Crowen with Mr. Garnett and
Sir J. Malcolm. Never in his life had he done
anything so much against free trade as when be
voted for the Right Hon.Baronet.—(Cheers and laughter.)
In the Right Hon. Baronet's printed address he told the
electors to ask him whether he (Mr. Hodgson) was a
supporter of Lord Derby's Government. Without hesi-
tation he would avow that he was.—(Applause.) If
elected he would be a general supporter of Lord Derby's
Government, and he would tell them why. On looking
around, and viewing the aspect of political affairs, he
came to the conclusion that no other Government could
be formed than that which Lord Derby presided over.—
(Applause and laughter.) The late Government died
a natural death. Lord Lansdowne declared in the House
of Lords that he was almost ashamed of being a mem-
ber of it for the last twelve months of its existence, so
imbecile and tottering was its condition. During that
Period the
thought essential
Government could carry no measure which
for the good of the country. But,
if it weret thought important to have Lord John Russell
at the head of affairs, he' must be allowed to ask the
Right Roe. Baronet why ho was not in •his place in
Parliament to defend him when he needed support ?
When Lord John Russell declared, in February last,
that, if. Lord Palmerston's amendment to the Militia
Bill should be carried, he would resign office, did Sir
James Graham's conduct evince any earnest desire to
maintain in eovver a ,Frec-trade Government? He saw
the Hight Hon,
Baronet in the House above five or ten
1 minutes before the division took place, but when the di-
vision bell rang he was non est inventus.—(Cheers and
laughter.
did The Right Hon. Baronet on that oceassion
not come for Ward to support his friend, and he did
not wonder at it. Let him ask this question, Coo:
against made the most virulent and acrimonious speech
the Whig Government on the motion for inquiry
Into the foreign policy of Lord Palmerston? The
,Right Hon. Baronet. Where was free-trade then?
k --
aPPlause.) 'Who again made the most acrimonious
sPeeeh and did his best to throw out the Government on
the question of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill? Free-
trade was never thought of until it was desired to get
rid of -Lord Darby's Government, and then the cry was
got up for the occasion.—(Cheers.) He had long been
a free-trader, and would continue so, and would never
vote for any measure calculated to diminish the benefits
*kit the people had derived from free- trade.—(Cheers.)
tle Was not in England when the corn laws were repealed,
eat Mr. Mounsey, who proposed Mr. Ferguson this
yr then-signed a petition against their repeal. Yet
tMr. Mounsey now came forward to preside over'

sideration 'He could readily give his

a u
baronet on the subject of reform; but. the Right
Roe,
"arolet had left himself a loophole by which he could
evade that question. The Right Hon. Baronet did not
st‘t/ weether hewanted a 5/., a 21., or a 1/. suffrage. It
would
aPPear, -from the language of the Right Hon.
Baronet's
proposer, that he was for universal suffrage;
but to thattneasure ho (Mr. Hodgson) was decidedly
°Prwc'eed---.(C beers.) Allusion to 'the ballot had been
avoided to-day, and if he mistook not, there was as
Much differenCe of opinion on that question between his
oPponents -as there was between himself and Sir J.
Graham on any- other point. Allusion having been
made to retrenchment, he might be permitted to say that
he had voted for every- motion for retrenchment except
one brought forward by.. Mr. Cebden, which would have
swept away ten millions-of taxes at once, and endangered
the interest of theedebt. When the Right Hon. Baronet's
friends spoke of his being the friend Of Reform and
retrenchment, he must remind-hem that he never voted
for Mr. Hume's motion for Reform, nor did he vote
for Mr. Henley's and Mr. Drumnaond's motions for
retrenchment.-.---(Cheers.) Before concluding, he
must enter his earnest protest: against the con-
duct of the opposite party, for causing some persons to
he apprehended by the police and placed in the corpora-
tion dungeon for. merely expressing disapprobation at a
,publio meeting on Friday lost.—(Cheers) He would
also explain how it happened that his friends had pro-
posed
Sir James Graham. The fact was, they were in-
formed that some of the Right Hon. Baronet's friends

were about to propose him (11r. Hozigson), and so they
detertninerl to have the start of them.—(Cheers end
lauebter.) Hie
.public. life was before the electors. If
• they returned him they would find him undeviating in
his attachment to the constitution and the Protestant ins
stitutione ofthe country. Shou'd the electors not return

Fenousoencontended that at present the country
enjoyed only an instalment of free, ;trade, and antici-
pated the greatest utivautargee froth the fell development.
of the system. The country- having once tasted the
blessings of free trade, he believed- -that no Minister,
hoverer powerful, would venture to reverse it; but its
behoved the people to take care that nothing was done
in a disguised form to give the rich compensation for the
loss of protection at the expense of the poor.—(Cheers )
The present Mil-deters eonld not be trusted to carry out
the free trade system. They were unwilling agents,
and their inclinations were the other way. The spirit
of free trade was not in them, and their ruling princip4e
wee protection. Ha eoncluked by declaring his steady::
adherence to the- great prinCiples of reform which ~het
had ever advocated, and retired" atnid great cheerieg. •
Dr. LC`NSDALE thought that;••cs Sir J. Graham was
sure to hold the hieheen place -in the next Ad:Di:dafteh
tion, it was desirable to ascertain his opinion on certain
points to which he had not alluded in his address to the
meeting. For this purpoee he had drawn up certain
questions to which he required answers from the Right
Hon. -Baronet. • -
Sir-J. GUAHAIf said that. Dr. Lonsdale had put into
.and fben etfeetions; to- which -he would reply
. The first question was—" Would you in any
• Nttee, like that of Hungary, where the liberties of
et-N:wore interfered by another and despotic State
:ten.. Ye'.do'-you'r best to put an end to that interference o alai it as a violation of right? " It was impose
sifelt o nlever of freedom not to participate in the
aepiratiFens er freedom in all-foreign countries, and he
knew' no limit to 'practically, aiding foreign countries in
their endeavours to liberate themselves' from the yoke of
tyranny, except the paramount obligation of not involv-
ing this eountey in a war-on account of interference in
affairs not our oWn. The second question was—" Would
you, in the case of a people, now despotically governed,
throwink off the yoke bytheir own energies, and setting
Up a new Government by a*ivoltition of their own
making, urge the fmnpecliete and full recegnit,ion of that
Government by ours?" . To this •quealilan he could give a
practiatil answer The great Mkt() of Lord Grey's Ge.
vernment, in addition to reform and retrenchment, was
non-interference in the affairs Of foreign countries. Act-
ing in accordance with this motto, Ltrd Grey's Go-
vernment, following the, example of their predecessors,
recognized the Government of Louie Philippe, whom a
revolution hrd raised teethe throne a France. .Again,
another revelation separated Belgium from Holland, and
raised it into an independent kingdom, and in that case
also Lord Grey's Government recognized the newly-
created authority, . Thirdly, when Louts Philippe wes
excelled from France by another revolution, and a Re..
public o:intl.:hated in that country, the British Govern-
ment acknowledged the nee, order of things—a course
of which he entirely approved. The third question was
Would you oppose any meesures—an extradition
Bill, recount) to letter opening, or the - like—which
could have for its ohject the restriction of the rights of
refugees to find an. asylum in England, seta from all
espionage on the part of our Government?" Ile would
make ,Eaglatid a sycure asylum to all foreigners seeking
an asylum from the oppression of other Governments in
any part of the world; bat, in return, he would re-
quire that these foreigners should not abuse our hoe-
pfitalitEury. by conduct which would endanger the peace
oope. As to extradition he approved of the
agreement into which -we had entered with Frauee
and America fee the.. mutual surrender of three
°lathes of criminals—nernely, murderers, forgerers,

protect them by the high hand of
the power of this
country.
Dr. LoNSDALE wished to have the Right Honourable
Gentleman's opinion ofhthe extension of the franchise.
Th 3 Right Honoareble 'Gentlemen had shown that he
was neither a Derbyite nor a Russellite. Then, what
'•ito "-was he ?..,-.(at,
ar, hear, and 'Atwitter.) He
callednon him to State hie vieviaas to the extension) of
the franchise,- .
• Sir 'J'ADIES GRATIAX it was 'true he was not a
•
Derbyite, and what
--.• Hodgson had stated must
have satisfi med • the s
ee was not a Ruesellite. He
did to *vote fbr Lord John RiisseiN Militia Bill be-
cause —he did 'intt h*appeetee of the scheme as
he announced it. Dr. Lontdelo • asked what "ire" he
now Wa"s. He had'heen iireelite, but he was now re-
solved not to bind.hiniself in the fetters of any party, but
would :do his besnas a
private... Member of Parliament,
or in any situation whichtit might be the pleasure of the
Crown to call on him tn,fill.-,(Applause.) He would
not bind himself inehe fetters .of party so as to prevent
him from exorcising an independent judgment as to the
fittest mode in which ,his country could be served.
Therefore, he was.neither.a Derbyite nor a Russellite;
but his object was to be the independent member tor
Csrliste, free to express his' opinions - in the House of
Commons on all important questions as they might arise.
—(Cheers.) That brought him to the question of re-
form. He certainly had been of opinion that the exten-
sion of.the suffrages given by,the Reform Act of 1832
was so extensive that it would have lasted his time. He
now, however, wee clearly of, opinion that since the
Queen had announced from the Throne that a revision
of the Act of 1832 was necessary, and since Lord J.
Russell, then First Minister of the Crown, who was hie
colleague in introducing the Act of 1832, had himself
acknowledged that it was .marked by great imperfec-
tions, it was his (Sir James Graham's) opinion that
a revision of the messure was indispenable. Then,
he war, asked what franchise.. he was prepared to
-support? He would tell- therndie was not satisfied with
the new Reform Bill introduced by the late Whig Go-
vernment. It sinned in one particular—it did nut recur
to the principles of the Act of 1532, which was the dis-
franchisement of small rotten boroughs, and the exten-
sion of the fianchiee to towns containing large numbers
of intelligent citizens.—(Cheers.) If we are to revise
the Reform Act, I. think we must begin where we left
off. We must look to see whether there are any de-
cayed borough's to. be disfranchised, .and whether the
franchise cannot bo beneficiedlt extended to large com-
munities not at present enjoying it; and with respect to
cities sad boroughs, he -had no- hesitation in saying it
appeared to him that the -old Eaglish basis of residence
and rating would be the legitimate foundation of any fu-
ture extension of -the suffrage.—(Cheers.) In conclu-
sion, he hoped that his answers to Dr. Lonsdale's ques-
tions would secure -him that gentleman's vote.
DrhLonsdele's questions were then put to the other
candidates, and obtained from them answers substan-
tially the same as those given by Sir J. Graham.
The MAYOR then took a show of hands, and decided
that it was in. favour of Sir J. Graham and Mr. Ferguson,
whereupon a-poll was demanded for Mr. Hudgsoa, and
fixed for to-morrow.

The assembly then quietly dispersed.
Tho' fingl result of the poll yestc,rdLy was—

GLASGOW (CITY),
The nomination of two members for the city of
Glasgow took place in the front of the Court-house on
Wednesday, the 7th.
Bailie M•Dowaaa proposed Mr. John Macgregor,
which was seconded by Mr. CALLENDER, leather

plause by the d
Mr. MACOREense
mass in front of the hustings, ob-
served, in the course
of his addres—l consider that we
require to carry out still further the principles of free
trade. We must abolish all the taxes or customs duties
on every kind of raw material, such as timber. We must
remove the remaining duties on articles of food, such as
butter, cheese, and other articles I could name. We
must reduce the duty on tea, which, as it at present
stands, may be considered as a tax on temperance. If
no one else does, I propose to bring in a measure of this
kind myself, viz., to reduce the duty to one-half of what
it now is.—(Great cheering.)
Mr. HASTIE was received with loud cheers. lie ob-
served that while he was quite disposed now, as he had
pledged himself on a former occasion, to support mea-
sures not men, yet he could not, until' he saw the mea-
sures of the present Government, place confidence in
them.—(Cheers.) If, however, the present Government
brought in good measures, measures likely to increase
the trade of the country, to carry the glory of this coun-
try to the same pitch as it had attained in former days,
then ho should say that these men and their measures
would have his warmeat support,—(Cheers.)
Lord MELGUND, who was received with mingled cheers
and hisses, in the course of his speech observed—l have
supported the same principles as the gentlemen who
have spoken before me; and I think few men would
have the courage to stand in the piece which I now
occupy, and say that we must go back to thessysteni
of protection. There are, however certain points in the
conduct of our Legislature in which I do not so tho-
roughly agree with the Hon. Candidates who have
spoken as I would wish to do. I differ with them on a
Point which seems more particularly to affect the people
of the northern division of the empire than all other
portion of her Majesty's dominions; I mean the princi-
ple of religious liberty and equality. Ia my opinion
there is a great amount of misunderstanding as to what
is the nature of the Maynooth endowment, and the ob-
jects far which it was set on foot. In Ireland there is
an enormous, wealthy, overpaid, and useless kieecure
institution, which is kept there by the bayonets and
physical power of the people of this country. So long
as Parliament shall refuse to entertain the Irish Church
question there will lee no peace or equality for Ireland.
—(Applause, hisses, and cries of "The franchise.") well,
as to Parliamentary retorm, this question will be agi-
tated in the next session of Parliament, and you are in a
great mistake if you thiek it will be carried Zithout a
considerable struggle. Yuu must get tho steam up much
higher before you can induce the House of Comm

For my part, I am wiling to go as far a; a 51:
