Water turns steam;
Each blazing beam
Hisses defiance to the torified spout ;
It seems hut too plain nothing can put it out."
I, on the contrary, having done my duty to the electors, have
left them freely to choose a representative. I have considered
that they are still the same generous friends to freedom, civil
and religious, in name and spirit ; that they are animated
by a true Protestant spirit, not a spurious Protestantism, which
denies the right of private judgment, which would persecute
if it could and dared ; that, in fact, that they are still ena-
moured of the bright and cheerful countenance of Reform, and
loathe the dark and sinister aspect of Hanoverian politics. i
On this rely. I commit the cause of liberty to their keepers in
confidence as to the result. That will be wort,h3ylasroi
Lambeth
and the cause of freedom.

Ms. 13aeowte having obtained a hearing, said he had been
called on by a great number of electors to present himself to
their notice. Many of those respe, table persons complained
that they had not only been not represented, but they had been
m'ssepresented.—( Leud opposition) This was not a ques-
tion of party, but principle. He had been charged in the
most inconsistent manner with being an enemy to the
Queen and Toryism. Ha had always understood that it was
the duty of a Tory to support the Throne. He had
reae•:ed the age of 76, and during ltis lifehad been an advocate
for the monarchy, therefore it was not likely he should desert
our young and amiable Queen. Gentlemen who opposed
him us ere desirous of having our political structure placed on:a
wide basis, but lie suspected the object was to do away with
that part of the constitution which protected the Church.
—(•` Hear, hear," and cheering.) He was for the
Constitution, the whole Constitution, and nothing but the
Constitution.—(Cheers.) Every inroad upon that Constitu-
tion which might assume the name of Reform he should op-
pose He had been asked whether he would oppose the ir-
resp,nsibility of the House of Lore"; ? His answer was, No:—
(Great confusion.) He considered the House of Lords as a
barrier between the Crown and the people.—(Cheers.) Much
had been said about his standing between the popularity of
the Queen and the rights of the people. Who could doubt
but that her present Majesty was popular?—(Cheers.) She
was not old enough to have made an onemy.---( Cheers.)
His general opinion of the constitution was this —if they
supported a Monarchy, they must have a House of Lords.—
(Cheers.) It was almost unnecessary to remind them that
when the Crown had no Ilouse of Lords to stand between

Ceurt ag iinst us. Thank God the tables are turned, and the
Reformers are now the frienes of the Government and the
Court. Our youthful, amiable, and patriotic Queen is anxious

Zeformers, were never the enemies of good order—we never
contemplated clestSeying the Constitution. We have been
viekedly and haSely Mee-feinted: We only were the
enemies of a selfish and despotic faction who, although
they had the government of the country in their hands,
ind were the servants of the Crown, were, in fact, the
seal and only enemies of the Crown, by the arbitrary and des-
potic nature of their meastiiree. Isere got that faction
,yithin our grasp at this moment, and we deseree to be op-
pressed fur the remainder of our lives, if we suffer them to
conquer. That faction is now the enemy of the Queen, and
the zealous end determined opposer of the Queen's Govern-
I mint, Reform, and the people ; and only defend the Crown so
long as the Crovrn will suffer them to carry on their own arbi-
trary and selfish measures. As soon as the Crown is deter-
mined to govern for the benefit of the people, and to maintain
and support a liberal and reforming Ministry—which I do not
hesitate to call the present, although 1 do nct agree with them
on all points—then at that moment all their loyalty and pro-
fessed regard for the Crown expires. In justification of what
I have stated—we have el! heard of an attempt to alter the
succession of the Crown of these realms, before our young
Queen ascended the throne. Thanks to Providence, they were
frustrated in their treacherous and abominable schemes. Had
they attempted publicly to proceed with them, all England,
Scotland, and Ireland would have risen up in arms as one
man against them, and would have conquered or died
in the just cruise of their lawful Queen and liberty.
Gentlemen I I have no fears for the issue of this contest.
The eyes of your country are upon you—great, indeed, will
be your disgrace if you suffer yourselves to be entrapped, ea •
j ded, or seduced by the enemy : you are the representatives
of the non-electors ; perform your duty manfully and fearlessly ;
record your votes for the liberal candidates, and put down at
once and far ever the last chance of Toryism.
M. HOPE, the returning officer, then called upon all those
who were of opinion that Mr. D'Eyneourt should be their re-
presentative to signify the same by holding up their hands.
Upon %Welt a forest of bands were held up on the part of the
dense crowd which was standing before the booth, and all the
ersons who were mounted on carriages, that formed a semi-
circle enclosing the crowd on foot, did the same.
On a show o hands being called for Mr. Hawes, a similar
scene was presented. In favour of Mr. Baldwin, about twenty
hands ,cote raised, amid shouts of laughter. The returning
Offieer then declared the Right Honourable Tennyson D'Eyn-
court and Mr. Hapset duly elected. A poll was then de-
manded by some person cm the part of M. Baldwin.
Mr. IkPLeon said, that as Mr. Baldwin called this a
contest of principle, he hoped the electors would remember
that It sees so, and obtain a triumph for the principles they
professed,
Mr. D'Ersconer thenlied the electors for the kind support
they had given him. He reminded them that the cause of
their eoentry would be at stake en the morrow, He hoped

morrow. He had fie tletsbt of the result of the election, but
he was anxious to have on their tide so overwhelming a majo-
rity as would set an example to the rest of England._

Then will their hopes depart tessredricdws they had heard Mr.

had not carried his theory into practice and avoid all attempts

tution as any man.—( Cheers.) The Conetittition, in his

being carried by acclamation, the meeting then separated,
amid loud cries of " Be early at the poll to-morrow."

,caffold --(Hear.) The question was, whether they ought to
support the fundamental principles of the constitution, or
give way to innovation, which must lead to r ;volution.
He defied them to show a single line in the Standa-d against
the liberties of the people.—(Tremendous uproar.) Reform
had been anticipated in the Standard, and there it had long
since been admitted that reform was absolutely necess try. He
could prove it—it was extant.—( A voice—. I want to ask
you a question.) He would answer no question.—
( Hear, and loud laughter.) The Honourable Gentleman
then proceeded, amidst the greatest noise, which rendered
him almost inaudible, to sa; that he and his friends had al-
ways been the advocates of the people. He would mention
many instances in which they had supported the people. He
and his party were the advocates of improvement and of the
Constitution, but they would not go beyond the sacred limits
of the Constitution ; and he would resist all innovations that
went beyond those sacred limits by every means in his power.
Ile would be successful in the election, if there was any truth
in promises.—( Shouts of laughter, and tremendous uproar.)
He called upon his friends to be at the polling-booths to-mor-
row morning et an early hour, and to assert their conscientious
principles, and place him in a commanding positi in on the
pi;ll.—(Great uproar, and cheers.)
Mr. MAci.eon—Electors of Lambeth, you are now called
upon to perform a great and important duty ; and I have no
doubt that you will discharge that duty conscientiously and
fearlessly. You are now by your votes to declare whether
you will return to Parliament men of liberal and enlightened
principles, who have been, and still are, the advocates
cf pro-
gressive reform—the tried friends of liberty—qie boll and
consistent defenders of the rights of the people; or whether on
the other hand you will return men who are opposed to the go-
vcrnme::t of the many, and who are the advocates of the des-
potis n of the few—who have been the enemies of all reform—
who are the friends and supporters of the King of Hanover,
whose very first act has been to destroy the Constitution which
it was his duty to protect and cherish. Thera never was a
more favourable time for Reformers than the present. Unfor-
tunately we have generally had the misfortune to have had the
