INITIOVIZADATION AT ELECTIONS A GROSS
TioN OF CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS
FREEDOM.
The foliowieg letter has been addressed to the Editor
of the Patriot :
" Sir,—As an English Protestant, I trust you will
permit me, through the medium of your columns, to
state a few instructive facts for future guidance on the
part of the electors.
" On the 16th Juno I put the following questions to
John Bright, E‘q , M.P., at a meeting of his constitu-
ents, held in Manchester Corn Exchange:—
" 1, Being aware, as every statesman ought to be,
that a Cardinal is a Prince of the R•man States, and that
his functions are mainly political—ere you of opinion that
his office is compatible with civil and religious freedom
in this country ?
" 2. If it can be proved that Papal allegiance, a short
time since, compelled Republican France to crush
R'--
publican Rome by force—would not Papal allegiance in-
evitably produce similar results in England if an oppor-
tunity presented itself ?
'• The above queries were put without a single remark
that could bo considered offensive to any one. They were
reported in the Manchester papers of Saturday, the 19th
ultimo.
" On Thursday, the 24th, a neighbour of mine (an
Irish Roman Catholic) came to my place of businss,
and charged me with having insulted the religion of his
country. He also added, We will put you down, if it
cost a thousand pounds. We have determined to take
from you all your Irish customers. We have taken

As my neighbour did not ieel himi.elt bound to answer
any questions ut the time, I called upon him subse•

name has been sent to every
,house in Ireland by circular,
stating what you have done.

persons surrounded the hustieee, composed

obtain their 0 free and independent"-support by shouting
down his opponents. During the whole of the proceed-

it was Tate impossible to present anything 1 ke an ac-

attacks had been made upon his public character by his
,pponents, in conducting the present election, but he
challenged any one to stand forward and point to a
single act, speech. or vote of his which could be said to
be inconsistent with the principles he had uniformly
advocated, anti he believed that, as certain
as that the sun was then shining, the
decision of the electors, as declared at the poll
would confirm that opinion to-morrow. He, therefore,
branded as mime cants end cowards all those who had
dared to impugn one act of his public life.—(Great up•
roar.) At not less than fifty meetings held in the bo-
roueh he bad trended the slanderous weapons which
had been used against him for the la-t two months as
the basest that could be employed, and had challenged
his accusers to the proof. The base and brutal means
which had been resorted to, in order to eject him from
his seat, would, however, recoil upon the heads of the
perpetrators. The *lion. Candidate then proceeded,
amid great cenfusion, to set forth various articles of his
politioal creed, which were, he said, well known to all
the electors of the borough, and called upon the electors,
by returning him, to ensure 6 continuance of the
triumph of religious freedom, of radicalism, and of
honesty. With respect to his opinions on religious sub-
j. cts, he stated that he knew nothing of toleration, his
object being to secure pei-fect religious equality for all.
(The remainder of the address was completely lost to
us, in consequence of a few of the more riotous sup-
porters of the rival candidates corning to blows on the
hustings, whence they were. ultimately removed by the
police.)
Sir W. CLAY then came forward to address the elec-
tors, but was for some time quite inaudible, in conse-
qtieucti of the noise and interruption of the crowd. The
Honourable Baronet finding Abet he was speaking in
dumb show, at length turned round, and addressed him
self confideuially to the reporters, who even then found
great difficulty in catching his words. He was under-
stood to call upon his audience to look at the important
question of the grant to Maynootb iJollege like men of
sense. This was a charge upon the Consolidated Fund
of 26.0004 a year, granted in the year 1845, to which
the faith of the country was pledged, and which should
not be withdrawn without cause shown and approved of
by the representatives of the pecple of England. He
had supported a motion for inquiry into the system of
islaynooth, in the former Parliament, and if he were
returned to the next Parliament he would support a
similar motion.—(Cheers and uproar.) If the charges
brought against Maynooth were proved, he would join
in abrogating the grant; if they were disproved there
would then be only one other ground upon which they
could justly abrogate the grant, and that was, the ge-
neral ground that it was a violation of the rights
of conscience to take money rsised by taxes from
the whole of the people to support the religious
doctrines of one portion of that people.—(Loud cheers.)
That was a sound objection, aud, in theory, it was, he
beleved, unanswerable. No religious endowment by the
Government of a Protestant country was logically to be
defend. d.—(Cheers and renewed uproar.) It was con-
trary to that right of private judgment which was the
corner-stone of the Protestant faith. Such endowments
could only be defended on the ground of general policy,
as tending to produce kindly feeling among men who,
united by the tie of a common allegiance, differed in re-
ligious opinions.—(Uproar.) But if they failed to do

(Cheers and confusion.) He could scarcely trust the
evidence of his senses when he read those words, and he
wanted language to express the sorrow and humiliation
with which he bad learued that that placard came from
the East London Protestant Alliance, from men who
professed to be members of the Church of England.
Did those gentlemen think that they were showing zeal
according to knowledge—(Tremendous uproar and eon-
fusion)—that they were obeying the precepts or follow •
log the example of their Divine Master, in thus raising
the passions of the people, by recalling to mind the events
of a dark and inhuman age, when every sect in its turn
was persecuted 2—(Cries of „ lime," and interruption.)
Ought such a placard as this to be cast about as a fire-
brand to stimulate the deadly passions of hatred and re-
venge, and thus to bring about again the time of Lord
George Gordon and his riots? Did its authors wish to
make our streets rod with the blood of our fellow-citi-
zens, and that the scenes of Stockport should be acted
over again in the streets of London? But he would
quit this painful subject. Ile bad no fears as to the re-
sults of that placard. He knew tbe electors of the Tower
Hamlets too well, teat they were too just to take so nar-
row it view as the authors of this placard had done of those
obligations which common sense, Christian charity, ills_

He would not conent to pull down the Es-
tablished Church,because he was convinced that if they
pulled down the Church the chapels would be sure to
fullow.—(oh, ob.) He was an untried man, and could
not promise them that he would be a very eloquent Mem-
ber of Parliament, but he would engage himself to prove
independent in thought and in action. He was not fight-
ing for himself, but only aimed at advancing the honour
and interests of the borough. He was one of themselves,
and that was the reason why they ought to give him
thei votes.—(Cheers and confusion.) It had been said
that all the ladies of the Tower Hamlets were in favour
of Mr. Butler. When his opponents said this they had
told the truth for once in their lives, for there was not a
pair of blue or black eyes in the borough that would not
glisten with joy es sand hisses, on as his election was announced.—
(Laughter, cheerse)
Mr. NEWTON next came forward, and was most vo-
ciferously cheered by his supporters, who occupied the
ground in great force. He said that the four candidates
who had preceded him had each stated that he would
poll t
the poo-morrow;
be at the head of as no party had
claimed the second place, he thought he might fairly
put forward his claim to it —(Laughter.) / In point of
fact he desired nothing more than the second place.
There were 60,000 non-electors in the borough, and he
contended that they ought to have ono representative at
least in the House of Commons. As the candidate of
the " people" he stood before them on that occasion,
and felt confident that he should be returned.—(Tre-
mendous cheering) They wanted men to represent
them in Parliament who attended to the interests of the
borough; who knew the wishes of the people, and who
mixed with them. There had been no one in the House
of Commons who represented the interests of this great
borough, the largest in the country, lie hoped
that by their decision on this occasion an end
would be pot to this state of things. He was
proud to say that throughout the contest the
working classes bad asserted their dignity, and
had acted with propriety. He admitted that they had made
a great noise, but it had been of a good-humoured sort,
and no angry vindictiveness had been displayed, and if
they then listened patiently to him it was because their
opinions were in accordance with the principles which
they knew be advocated. His opinion on the rights of
labour was well known to them—it was, that the
responsibility should rest upon the Legislature
of the country of finding- employment for the
people.—(Great cheering.) lie believed that opinion
would soon .be enforced upon the Government. It was
a principle which was already gaining great favour
among the masses of the people, and he would continue
to use every effectual means of spreading it still further.
The dudes of hie audience that day would, to a great
extent, cease with the show of hands; he would, how-
ever, urge upon those of the non-electors present to do
all that they possibly could to induce those possessing
the franchise to come forward and support, the rights
of labour, by giving their votes for the candidate of
labour. It had been said that his supporters had
been paid by Mr. Butler, one of the opposing candi-
dates, for the purpose of splitting the Liberal inte-
rests of the borough. He believed that no one
would venture to assert
such
an opinion before them
upon that occasion, for he
knew perfectly well, if they
were to do so, they would receive such an answer as
would convince them that they could be honest men as
well as themselves.—(Cheers.) When tho news of the
victory gained to morrow (this day) was conveyed to
north, the toiling
the industrial hives of the
thousands
would thank the
having given them a

perty, baronets, law were already sufficiently repre-

Legislature; t was now high time for
labour to have its exponent
of
ltl bere, and he had no doubt

that, by the exertionsclasses, electors and non-
electors, this desirable result would at length be ob-
tained.—(Cheers.)
The Returning Officer then proceeded take the usual
show of hands in favour of the respectiveto candidates, and
had
declared as the result that the electio fallen upon
Mr. Newton and Mr. Thompson. A poll
was then de-
manded on behalf of the other
candidates,
which was
ordered to take place to-morrow (this day), commencing
and concluding at the usual houre.
• A vote of thanks having been given to tho returning
officer, the immense assemblage
separated.

FINSBURY.
A meeting of Mr. Wyld's supporters was held lasi
night in the school-room, Cowper-street, City-road, Mr
Justin in the chair. The numbers present were estimated
at from 800 to 900.
The CuAIRMAN stated that a placard had been put
forth containing a libel on Mr. Wyld and the committee.
It was headed" Lies, lies, lies!" and charged them with
making a series of calumnious statements affecting the
character of Mr. Alderman Challis. As chairman of
the committee, he declared, upon his honour, that the
committee had issued no placard reflecting ou the cha-
racter of Mr. Alderman Challis, and the only thing of
the kind that had appeared emanated from a gentleman
on the committee, who, the moment the placard was
traced to his authorship, was requested to resign; and
he did resign.—(Cheers.)
Mr. WYLD, who was received with great cheering,
then addressed the meeting. Referring to the placards
to which the chairman had alluded, he said he could
assert that, during the whole contest, he had not
authorised the publication of a single word calum-
nious towards his opponents, nor had he at
any public meeting used a single word to their dispa-
ragement.—(Cheers.) He felt it to be a point of prac-
tical Christianity not to bear false witness against his
neighbour, and if any man directly or indirectly con-
nected with him had presumed to write the statements
which had appeared in placards, he would thank that
mau ac,.. Wk./TO to be officer of his. Finding a bill
which stated that Mr. Alderman Challis had employed
a clerk on a Sunday posted in his committee•ruora,
he
indignantly tore it from the walls. He had received a
letter from a son of Mr. Alderman Challis, asking whe-
ther he was a party to that bill. He replied that he was
not, and that he did not believe any one connected with
him was so. The moment it became known_ to the mem
hers of the committee that an individual tatting on it had
some hand in it, that man ceased to be a member of the
committee. Referring further to the mode in which
the contest had been conducted, the Hon. Gentleman
iof
re-
marked, that they had had tee
-gatherers, men office
power and position, soliciting votes and bringing
thern-
fluence to bear on the humble electors. If any man had
reason to feel the necessity of the ballot, he would have
had it if he had stood in the position he (Vlr. Wyld)
occupied. It bad been charged upon him that he
had had the audacity to present himself befere the elec-
tors of Finsbury as fit to be their represeutative, and
that his coming forward was to displace an old and tried
servant. Was that true or not? When the annals of
the election were written it would be seen who was the
delinquent. Had he known that the late representatives
for the borough had still the intention to sit he should
have been the last to come forward. It was said there
was a vacancy. He was asked in 1851, having bad a
connexion locally with parts of the borough, whether be
would allow himself to be nominated a candidate. What
was his reply." You have two men who have done good
suit and service in time past, and I will not come for-
ward; but, should other circumstances arise, and you re-
quire an individual energetically to advocate your cuse,
command my services." When the election of 18,52dotco-
