LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2, 1837.

The Middlesex Tot ies arc " moving heaven and
ea: th" to oust Mr. HUME. Calumny, ihers', and
intimidation arc the means employed by these self
styled conservators of the Constitution, to deprive the
country of the services of one of the most efficient of
of its late representatives. No person acquainted with
the extent and importance of the services rendered to
the Liberal cause by Mr. HUME, can feel surprised at
the efforts of the Tories to exclude him from the iluuse
of Commons. For nearly twenty years of a public he
has he led the van in every attack upon the Tory
stronghold of corruption. Once resolved upon the ex-
termination of an abuse or the realization of a popular
privilege, he proceeded straiJit onward, unawed by
power, and alike regardless of appeals to his fears and
his interests. Perfectly conversant with the routine of
Parliamentary business, the Tories, with all their
adroitness, could never steal a march on him. Let
who, and as many as would, be absent from the House,
JOSEPH HUME was always at his post—the sleepless
guardian of the interests of his constituents and the
country. During his long Parliamentary career it
would be difficult to point to a good measure which
engaged the attention of the House of Commons that
has not had his support, and equally difficult to refer
to one of a different stamp which has not encountered
his strenuous and often triumphant opposition.

But a recent triumph obtained for the country by
Mr. H umE has imparted a new feature to the Mid-
dlesex contest, and armed the Tories with all the wea-
pons that the deepest mortification and the deadliest
revenge are capable of supplying. We allude to his
dragging into national notoriety the conspiracies of the
Orangemen and their Grand Master in treason—the
Duke of CUMBERLAND. Had it not been for the
indomitable perseverance of the late Member for Mid-
dlesex, the House of Commons would have failed in un- •
masking one of the most deep-laid and dangerous plots
that ever menaced the Crown and free Institutions of this
c-nintiy. This is the true cause of the increased de-
testation with which the Tories regard him—of the
malignancy with which they assail his private and his
public character—of the lengths to which they are
prepared to proceed to hinder his return far Middlesex.
1' he contest is not one of an ordinary political character.
It is the King of HANOVER versus HuME. Messrs.
WooD arid POWNALL are neither more nor less than
the representatives of his Hanoverian MAJESTY. They
are puppets whose movements are under the direction of
the Grand Master of the Orange Lodges, who, as might
be anticipated, has exerted all his crooked influence to
revenge himself on the honest patriot who rescued the
British Crown from the contamination of his treason-
able and unhallowed grasp. The Tories are hut tools
in the hands of the King of HANOVER. He it is
who supplies the sinews of the Conservative war in
Middlesex. The Times of this morning threatens to
publish a list of the electors who will vote for HumE.
By all means, say we. The Reformers of Middlesex
never manifested much concern for what the Duke of
CUMBERLAND might think of their political conduct ;
and we will undertake to affirm that they are still more
indifferent to the opinions of the King of HANOVER.
But why restrict the list to the supporters of HUME
and Reform? Can no good come out of CLIMBER-
LANDin the shape of an after-boon for extra dirty work?
But our Contemporary knows the King of HANOVER
well, and on more than one occasion has edified his
readers with curious sketches of his MAJESTY'S
moral character. He has, therefore, his own reasons
for not proposing to print a list of those dastardly
Englishmen who are prepared to disgrace them-
selves by appearing at the poll in the livery
of the chief of a conspiracy for setting aside the suc-
cession of our beloved QUEEN.

All will depend on the vigilance and activity of the
Reformers. Powerful as they are both in numbers and
the goodness of their cause, if they hesitate a moment
they are lost. Their enemies, under the direction of
able leaders, have put every engine of intimidation and
corruption into motion, and should they not gird
themselves in time for the contest like men prepared
to fight the battles of their country, a craven panic
will spread itself through their raids, and their shame-
ful defeat will be the consequence. Let every Re-
former„ therefore, act as if the whole contest was to be
decided by his single vote. Let him bear strongly in
mind that whoever neglects to vote for HUME, votes
for the King of HANovER and the overthrow of the
