and though Mr. Lennetd hbeen so kited tts' to attack
me a little, but•not very much, I theil not attack hire -
and Ido not intend to do so. I should not add to t! et
laurels I hive wen by throwing stones at Ei. rash I have
known for years. Bat I must make a remark Upon vi hea
Mr: Leimerd said; and I ehould not be doing my duty IF
I did not. He said that if he chose he could upset the
election for the northern division,' tif 'Esset. ' Now, I
should have no hesitation in telling Mr. Lennard, if he
were here present, that never in the-Whele course of his
existence did he make a statement so utterly ntrfounded;
or so utterly unsupported by one- :minas of truth.—
(Cheers.) I defy Mr, Lennard-el defy ail the lawyers
Mr. Lennard can bring—l defy all the pettifogging
Woks he may attempt, to adduce one single unfair step
from first to last which has -been teken upon our part.
Then it is neither stritightfarward nor-mat:ly, nor worthy
of ea gentleman, to say, undersea( eiretnstances; that to

have those taxes to pay to compete on equal tepee with
,those who have no taxes to pay.—(Cheers.) "I nth a Pro-

(Cheera.) That would ha?dly be-felt on the price of the

will be found not only desirous, but ca-

csltural party, will they not lie able to work better, to
But better, and probably to produce st a cheaper rate?—
(Cheers,) When Mr. liennaral was proposed' the other
day I heard a good deal said with regard to his being
the friend of civil and religious liberty, and therefore,
having a great claim upon your votes. Now there is
not a man in this room, or perhaps out of it, who has a
higher affection for these two words than myself. Civil
and religious liberty is a sacred term. In the lips of a
liberal monarch, like William We who cams here to
save us Irons
an enlightened statesman, slikeay in
Lord Ireland;Chatham;
lips of en honest patriot, like
of Charles Fox, ft is a Edmund Burke, or earn
inthe
iriipsttoef
high-sounding and beautiful
term; but when, it is brought -

am apt to think the real meactin

liberty when
voters sre hurried off by the-priests, es they
are in Ire-
land, and confined in dungeons? Don't lot us ' prostitute
civil and religious liberty, then; info mob role and Dis-
senting arrogance.—(Loud cheers.) Now, lam facing
my 'constituents,
,and I think that they have aright to
know that which offsets the honour, Character, and cre-
dit of their Members. I have seen within the last lew
days statements in certain adverse journals that I have
been tampering with the purity of the 'election of the
borough of Derby. Ido consider, that if any set of
Wen have a right to ask of we en explanation on that
subject it is the electors of North Essex.—(Cheers.) I
shall give them but a very brief explanation under ex-
istiog circumstances. I consider that though they are
the -people alone who ought to ask me a queatieu on the
subject, there is, nevertheless, but one real place where
it ought to be, and shell he discussed, and that is the
House of Commune.—(Cheere.) lam not going to per-
mit these false accusations to go forward and not to no-
tice them. The proper Owe, however, is not the
dinner table here at. Braieto ee, but the floor of the
House of Commons.--(Cheers,) Still, I am nut going
to dismiss you quite so quickly. I tell you hero that,
directly or indirectly, I Have had no hand whatever in
any case whatsoever of bribery in lien borough of Derby.
—(Cheers.) Further as to the particulars I will not go,
because whenever Parliament meets, whether it is
mooted on the other side or not, I shell consider it my
duty, in my place, to state abet these accusations have
been made ugainas me. end I shall call on those who
made them to prove there.—(Cheers.) I shell endea-
vour to have an inquiry into tho whole thing, which, I
have not the slightest hesitation in aming, will expose
bare and broad to the public view us gross a csse of con-
triracj, combined falsehood, and vile auhornatioo, es
ever was brought before a committee of: the House of
Commons.— (Loud cheers.) Under these circumstances
it' would lxi imprudent to say one word more, because
they that can tiring th!Eo accusations and suborn
people to support them, would be ready to meet what
1 know, if I allowed one scintilla to come out. I trust,
therefore, that the electors of North Essex will
not be deceived into believing those Amex-meta
eidoh they taxi in the Daily _News, which detests
we, and in the .liloining aronic!c, which is continuslly
attaching me, though I have the pleasure Cchasionally
ofsittieg on the same sofa, in the same dub, with the
editor Of that paper. Each is the state of society when
we are eulj- need to 'the intrusion of those who make use
of all our lath-ante associations, who come to the mania
club as ourselves, mid who write letters and leading arii-.
des impugning our conduct and blackening our diame-
ters at the very came table at which we ourselves are en-
gaged in our honest avocations.—(Cheers.) Now, I
have looked over with care and I think I ought to know
something of the returns of Members made up to the
present time, and I think I may congratulate you that,
though we may not he no flourishing in every exact par-
ticular as we could,hope, yet that Lord Derby's sup-
porters have been returned to Parliament in numbers
sufficiently strong to uphold his cause in the ewe/House
of Commons; and, if there be not a large majority at
first, I do truat a.nd hope that it will be swelled ey a few
more gentlemen whom we do not call caw absolute friends,
but, who, being imbued with Conservative princi-
Pler, and with a veneration for • that aoustantion
under which we have lived - for so mite,: Yea", will,
