ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.
BURY (LANCASHIRE).
Viscount Duncan ha,' a personal meeting with the
constituency at the Red Lion, Bury, on Wednesday
night, and experienced a most enthusiastic recoption. A
section of the Liberal party bad previously split off front
the main body, and have bean getting up a requisition
to Mr. Frederick Peel. At the head of this party is
Mr. Richard Ashton, who bad at one time consented to
come forward in the Liberal interest, and would un-
doubtedly have been elected without opposition. Mr.
Ashton has issued au address on behalf of Mr. Peel, but
it is understood that Mr. Peel gives no promise to stand
until be has seen the requisition.
The meeting at the Red Lion to receive Lord Duncan
was vary crowded, and highly influential. Mr. John
Grundy, of Outwood-lodKe, presided, and among the
gentlemen present were Mr. Edward Grundy, of Park-
hills, Mr. Samuel Grundy, Lark-bills, Mr. Thomas
Grundy, Mr. Thomas Wrigley, and Mr. Robert Philips,
(wbo had also been earnestly requested to become a
candidate).

The CHAIRMAN introduced Lord Mumma in a speech
of considerable length, and after a few words from Mr.
R. PHILIPS (a friend and relative of his Lordship),
Lord DUNCAN (who was enthusiastically received)
proceeded to explain why he came forward to obtain the
suffrages of the electors of Bury, and why it was he
meant to remain there. He would say, and he said it
advisedly, that he had a certain seat at Bath, and that if
he were to poll that constituency again he believed he
should have two• thirds of the entire votes of the elec-
tors. During the last session of Parliament he had
taken an active part in carrying the repeal of, the win-
dow-tax—(Applause)—and the electors of Bath were
net the gentlemen to be ungrateful to him on that Re-
count-. The constituency of Bath, however, would no
doubt be ably represented. Fortified by an invitation
from a deputation from the electurs_of _Bury, of .which
the chairman was a member, and fortified also by the
knowledge that to a very great extent his principles'
were in unison with theirs, be had ventured to stand
forward as a fitting person to represent them in
Parliament.—(Cheers.) These were ticklish times,
and there never was a period at which the
electors of Bury ought to be more on their
guard with respect to the gentlemen whom they
might select. Should they gt.t bold of a slippery
gentleman on the subject •of tree trade, and should
he, when he went to Parliament, not go quite so far as
their old and tried friend, Mr. Walker, what would they
hear? Why, it would immediately be trumpeted forth
from the Treasury bench, " Look at the electors of
Bury; they have altered their opinions."—(Cheers.) It
would be said, " They have tired of free trade; they are
for a reversal of our present policy."—(Hear, hear.)
He was happy to inform them that in 1838, the very
first year after he entered Parliament, he was a sup-
porter of Mr. Villiers in one of his tree-trade motions,
and he bad supported all the subsequent motions for free
trade. He bad been asked what free trade had done for
the country. He thought any gentleman standing in the
county of Lancaster, if he would only make use of his
eyes, would very readily answer that question. Let
them firstconsider this,—that in the last year there was
an excess of income over expenditure of no less than
2,756.000/. He trusted they would not see this excess frit-
tered away upon what were termed " national defences."
—(hear, hear.) Be trusted they would see that money
legitimately used in alleviating the burdens of the people.
He could not forget also that the effects of free trade
had been to liberate us within the last few years from part
of the stamp duties, from the brick duties, from duties
on sugar, coffee, timber, and last, though not least,
that it was owing to the surplus of our revenue derived
from the Customs, and mainly owing to free trade, that
he was enabled in the last session of Parliament to carry
curiosity,
e w

and h© (Lord

that time?—(Great applause.) much to eat during
only not h But for that free trade
they would nothave had the 10,000,000
quarters of food, but
the inhabitants of the manu-
facturing districts would have been deprived of that
labour through which
made for it. We the payments had been
ih
nothing. We paidcould not pay for this food with
for it with what wehad—our
manufactures; and he en of
England knew that thought the working men of
when manufactures were flourishing
wages were in the ascendant.—(Hear, hear.) Consider
for
a moment how free trade bad acted in the agricul-
tural districts. They had heard a good deal about the
suffering there. Now, he was an agriculturist himself,
and he was, therefore, behind the scenes.—(A laugh.)
He was aware of tele Taut, alai, alum dna passing of tho
free trade measures the burdens of the counties—the
burden of the county tees, and the poor-rate, which in
1849 was 3,500,000/., had diminished to 2,200,0001., re-
lieving them of about a million of taxation.—(Hear.)
They had heard a good deal of the sufferings of the
agriculturists, but was there any one in that room en-
gaged in trade who found that the trade he was engaged
in was always flourishing? He feared the courage was
lacking, and that no Minister would be bold enough to
come forward with a downright honest motion to reverse
the system of free eta trade.—eaaear.). He was afraid they
' would have, on the contrary, a long talk about, " Oh,
I don't want protection; far from it; all I want is a
little—slight—fixed duty, of ea a qaarter, upon oorn.”--
(Laughter.) The Noble Lord proceeded to point out
what the effests of a ss, duty on oorn would be, and
then, leaving the question of free trade, remarked next
upon the anomalies in our representative system, ex-
pressing his opinion in favour of the ballot, financial re-
form, a large and not a homeopathic, extension of the
suffrage, and a general system of secular education. Re
denounced the principle of forcing Dissenters to pay
church-rates, and recounted his efforts to procure a
better management of the Woods and Forests, and to
get to the bottom of that Augean stable, stating his be-
lief that if those ei,tateS were well-managed the revenue
would be amply sufficient to maintain the Royal Family,
without a single mists-ace of taxation. After a few re-
marks upon our military and naval establishments, the
Noble Lord concluded by thanking those present for the
enthusiastic manuer in which they had received him.

and seconded by Ma A * GRUNDY,

that Lord Duncan was a fit and e prop r candidate

Mr. Ashton, in his address
Peel, says—
" with only one
on behalf of Mr. Frederick

There has been for some time past a strong feeling
among various Sect ions of the constituency, that to return
Mr. Peel as Member for this borough would be a graceful
acknowledgment of the services rendered to the community
by his illustrious father, a striking declaration
of our strong
convictions in favour of the free trade policy with which that
.
great stateman's name will be ever identified, and the means
of uniting all Parties, and avoiding the turmoil of a cm,:

tested elfection. That this feeling is general is proved by the
fact, thAt the requisition has, without any organized canvass,
been already signed by so great a number of electors, differ-
ing widely in political opinion, that the return of Mr. Peel as
a Member for this borough is perfectly certain."
