LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 5, 1837.

The election for Middlesex terminated yesterday in
the defeat of Mr. HUNIE in the rejection by one of the
first constituencies of the Kingdom of one of the most
honest Radical Reformers—of one of the most zealous
champions of popular rights—of one of the most con-
sistent and efficient assertoN of the true principicr of
civil and religious liberty—of one of the most watchful
guardians of the public purse—and of one of the most
useful and industrious Members that for the last
twenty years occupied a seat in the House of Com-
mons T. This is a sad blow to the good cause—an un-
expected repulse to the progress of triumphant Reform.
We seek not to disguise the fact—we wish not to con-
ceal the mortification which the criminal apathy of the
Middlesex Reformers has caused us. We repeat, the
defeat of JOSEPH HUME, in Middlesex, is a sad blow
to the cause of Radical Reform—a blow which will
reflect deep and indelible disgrace on the Middlesex
Electors. There are few public men now living
who have so many and so strong claims on the
respect—the confidence—the gratitude of the people
of Great Britain and Ireland as JOSEPH Hum c.
For upwards of twenty years has he served the
public in the capacity of a Legislator with a zeal
—a fidelity—a disinterestedness—and an efficiency
which have rarely ever been equalled, and, taken all
in all, have never been surpassed. From the first.
day he took his seat in the House of Commons he
adopted a course of public conduct from which he has
never swerved. Every abuse found in him an invete-
rate opponent—every extravagance an implacable
enemy. He fought for the repeal of the Test and
Corporation Acts as if he were the only representative
of the Dissenters in the House of Commons—for the
Abolition of the Penal Statutes against the Catholics
as if he were himself a victim of the oppression which
he denounced--for the Reform Bill as if its provisions
were to be regulated by himself—and for every other
salutary measure as if its benefits were to extend to
the people collaterally through him, instead of
incidentally to him, as one of the people
JOSEPE HUME was not the man to play a
game of " fast and loose" with his constituents,
and his conscience. He never thought of looking to
the fruits of office one year, as a compensation for his
toils the year preceding. He did his duty, and trusted
for his reward to his countrymen's just appreciation
of the purity of his motives, and the importance of his
services. The Tories themselves admit that his in-
cessant labours and sleepless vigilance effected the
cutting down of more sinecuresthe abolition of more
useless places and extravagant pensions—the reduc-
tion of more taxes—and the establishment of a more
rigid system of financial economy and orderliness of
detail in the administration of the national revenue,
than half the other Liberal Members of the House of
Commons put together. And yet he effected all this
without deserting his principles—without the sacrifice
of a jot of his straightforward Radical consistency.
JOSEPH HUME was the first to break up the old
system of legislating in the dark—the first to assert the
right of the people to be made acquainted with the ap-
propriation of every sixpence taken out of their pockets
in the shape of taxes. He it was that put an end to
the Borough-mongering practice of voting the CHAN-
CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER'S Budget by wholesale—
a practice in the hey-day of which it was a part of the
duty of the Clerks preparing the accounts, to render
them unintelligible to the House of Commons. By his
indefatigable zeal and industry he effected a complete
Reform in the Financial Department ; checked most
effectually the extravagance of Ministets ; and enabled
every man, who chose to trouble his head about the
matter, to judge correctly of the weight and the appli-

cation of the burthena borne by the people. More-

over, acting in the true spirit of Constitu-
tional representation, Mr. HUME confined not his
tritilihßeptfiTy labours to questions in a greater
or, *a/ digree affecting his own constituents.
Th 4 in}nrol% and the oppressed in the remotest
corneas . British dominions found in him a
