honour to which I aspire, and consistently with my De-
claration in 1819, to the Freeholders in the North-Riding,

rupt the Morals of any Population by Bribery," I will not
ieviate in the sligletest degree front Purity of Election.
In my attempt to restore to this large County the first
principles of tie Constitution, the example, if I am only
moderately supported, ma) hereafter he followed by abler
and more influential men ; but success, if obtained, will

at their own expense, will dignify their County, however

chosen as a Representative of the People.
My Principles are well known, from the part I have

LONDON, FRIDAY EV

GENERAL ELECTION.

SURREY, THU KSDAY.
In the early part of Thursday morning Sir W.
Jolliffe, the High Sheriff, entered the town, and in
order to secure the advantages of a good situation,
the representatives of the various London papers
addressed themselves to him through the interft-
rence of Mr. Denison, and at once received the
most polite attention, and his directions in their fa-
vour were readily and effectually complied with by
Mr. Abbott, the Under Sheriff. We were permitted
to enter the Hall before the doors were opened to
the public, and were placed in the box usually oc-
cupied by the Jury, into which, within a few mi-
nutes afterwards, a number of lovely and elegant
ladies were introduced. At a quarter past ten, Sir
W. Jolliffe,accomianied by the candidates and their
friends, entered the Hall, and the doors were then
thrown open to the public. The rush was violent
but momentary, for the upper part of the Coto
was at once filled, and the number of the curious
was not sufficient to occupy the whole of the Hall.
Among the gentlemen present, were Messrs. C.
Patimer, Holme Sumner, Drummond, Crawfurd,
Culvert, C. Barclay, Maberly.
The Court was then opened—the writ and pro-
clamation read--ethre oath was taken by the Sheriff,
j and the Act against bribery and corruption was gone
through. After these accustomed formalities had
I been disposed of,
Mr. LEACH rose to address the freeholders. He
had the honour once more to address them in favour
of his old and respected friend, Mr. Denison—
(Cheers)—who had served them so long in Parlia-
ment that it was unnecessary for him to say more
than a very few words in that gentleman's favour,
as the part he had always taken shewed him to be a
man of independence, of sound and honourable
principle —(Applause.) He was thankful to Mr.
Denison for the part he had always taken in Parlia-
ment—for the consistent support he had always
given to Parliamentary Reform—for the opposition
he had always shown to the lavish expenditure of
the Government.--(Applause.) The Hon. Gentle-
man would tell them this day what his opinions were
with respect to Parliamentary Reforn. It was to
be hoped the day would not be far distant when
they should meet again, and under auspices very
different from those under which they now were
assembled, and that they would have frequent op-
portunities of sending to Parliament men that
would, and that must obey the wishes of the people.
es-(Cheers.) He begged to propose Mr. Denison
as a fit and proper person to represent them in Par-
liament.—(Cheers.)
Mr. LADBROKE briefly seconded the nomination
amidst much cheering.
Sir R. FREDERIC should have, as he had on
Thursday at Epsom, the honour of nominating his
gallant friend Colonel Jolliffe, to be one of the re-
presentatives of the county. He knew his Hon.
and Gallant Friend was an honourable, an indepen-
dent, an honest, and intelligible man, and in every
way fit to promote their interests and the interests
of the country.—(Hear.)—His cry was, " King
and country," u cry that had protected the country,
and would make them a happy and great nation,
if happy they would be. His cry was, " King and
country," and he hoped theirs would be " Jolliffe
for ever."—(Applause, mixed with disapprobation.)
Mr. C. BARCLAY was satisfied that the gentleman
whose nomination he had now the honour to second,
was known to the county, and esteemed by the
freeholders. At Epsont he had stated that he
should support the nomination of his Hon. Friend,
and he had said so because he did feel that it iwas
necessary for the best interests of the country that
the Administration of the Duke of Wellington
should be supported.—(Applause.)—Colonel Jolliffe
would afford all freeholders the means of coming to
the poll; and from the success the Colonel had
enjoyed in his canvassing, there could be no doubt
that he would be returned their representative.
This was his opinion, and he had no doubt that in
the course of two or three days they would confirm
that opinion, by the great majority of their votes.--
(Applause.)
Mr. HENRY DRUMMOND next proceeded to ad-
dress the Court, and was received with the most en.
thusiaric cheering. He had been charged by an
Hon. Gentleman, who had just spoken, with being
an old mananivrer. He was no old manceuvrar. He
never assisted in any contest for the representation
of that county, except when he had the honour of
filling the place now so worthily occupied by Sir
Wm. Jolliffe. He was no manceuvrer, but he had
some common sense. lie did know dist, as an
in-
dependent freeholder of the county of Surrey, the
line that it became him to take, and he showed at
Epsom his sentiments upon that subject, in a man-
ner which he trusted his brother freeholders could
no: misunderstand. The ground which he proposed
to occupy this day would be precisely that which
he did occupy at Epsom. He told them then, as
he would tell them now, that the duty they had to
perform—the simple subject for their consideration
—was the competency of the candidates presented
to become the advocates of their affairs—the de-
positaries of their interests and those of the public
generally. He confessed, that in the ordinary inter.
course of life he could not help suspecting the
sincerity of a man who offered to do any quantity
of hard labour for nothing. Sir James Macintosh,
when he offered to defend Peltier without remune-
ration, was naturally enough obnoxious to that spe-
cies ofsuspicion—at least some might think he had an
ulterior object in thus agreeing to do that without fee
for which other men would expect large and liberal re-
wards. Ile appealed to their own feelings and ex-
perience, whether in any case they had found emi-
nent Counsel in that Court-house disposed to be-
come the advocates of any litigants without that foe
which they were accustomed to receive? The
ground which lie took up at Epsom was just this—
was or was not Mr. Briscoe a fit and proper person
to represent the county of Surrey ; and who else
besides him was likely to prove an efficient repre-
sentative for the county ? Ile would not propose
Mr. Briscoe, nd he gave his reasons for not doing
so. Now diere was a point to which he wished to
direct their special attention—they heard much talk
on all sides of the necessity of reform in Parliament.
This might be all very fine and very attractive; but
" old birds were not to be caught with chaff" Was
not that what every newspaper said ? Were not
almost all journalists the advocates of parliamentary
reform ; but when they came to elect a Member of
Pialiament they were called upon to inquire minutely
into his fitness to discharge the duties of that high
and responsible station, which the representative of
such a county as Surrey held. It was incumbent
upon the electors of counties and of towns to inquire
scrupulously before they give votes, and not allow
themselves to be carried away by words, but to in-
quire into the meaning of those words, and why the
persons proposed meant to support this or that mea-
sure in Parliament, for things were goad or bad just
according to the " why" what was behind theta. In
that place candidates might say they would vote for
a repeal of the Malt Tax, thinking, perhaps,
that, by doing so, they were conciliating the
good wishes of the farmers ; and he confessed that
the repeal of the Malt Tax would be extremely
agreeable to him, seeing that lie drank beer and no
wine. But the Members who said that they would
vote for a repeal of the Malt Tax, would have in
Parliament to encounter the Stockholders, who, to
be sure, would not object to the repeal of the Malt
Tax, if the supporters of that repeal could point out,

to them any way in which their eight millions could
be supplied for the payment of their interest, which
that. Malt Tax supplied. Then there were those
who talked of Parliamentary Reform and of re-
trenchment and economy, without even explaining
how those objects were to be effected. It was the
grostot dclusion—(Cries of No, no, no)—to make
professions of that nature, without making apparent
the means by which those professions could be
realized. It was a gross imposture to promise those •
!hinge, without the apposite explanations of the
means by which they were to be accomplished ; for,
indisputably, the stockholder had as much right to
these eight millions, ni any elector of that county
had to his freehold. There was one way in which
the repeal of the ►ax might be effected—it was by
increasing the value of our trade—it was by ex-
' loading the right of trading to all classes, and put-
tirm-an end to monopolies ; but when candidates
talked of economy and retrenchment, without ex-
planation, they indulged in language mischievous in
the h►ghtst degree ; they were essentially preaching
radicalism; they were exciting hope which could
not be gratified ; and stimulating anxieties which
could not be appeased. The same quackery

with respect to Parhmentary Reform. Every
Agentleßsin had his own little scheme, and the
'Hontintlble Seconder of Colonel Jollitfe had

hit. He would -support the extension of the
elective franchise to all great towns; somebody else
had a different proposition; and so the variety of
plans would proceed indefinitely. He was far from
finding fault with Hon. Gentlemen for stating their
plans of Reform, what he found fault with was their
not being distinct mid definite on those points.
What he, were he a Member of Parliament, would
vote for, would embrace three objects; first, that all
votes should be taken in the hundreds; one effect

of that would be, that, on the present occasion, in
the county of Surrey, they would have had several
instead of the t-mall number of three candidates;

again, many members of old families, and persons
of worth and property in the county, were de-
terred from standing forward as candidates from the
immense expences attendant upon a contest—ex-
pences which seriously involve, if not utterly ruin,
men of very considerable property. Nothing could
be mere certain than that it would be for the
advantage of the constituency if the expences of
elections were considerably diminished. The next
point upon which he desired to see a change
effected was the giving the right of voting to copy-
holders—a copy hold of inheritance was entitled to
a vote as a freehold. The third change he should
recommend would be to shorten the duration of
Parliaments ; and he would tell them why. What
was the use of a House of Commons ? The
" Quarterly Review" a jouriad under the influence
of the Duke of Welliegton,, had well said that if
ever the time should arrive when the legislative
should become more corrupt than the executive, the
people would fly to a despotic government to shield
them from their own representatives. That was a
very just observation, and it was a fact beyond all
question or dispute, that the Government of
the Duke of Wellington was less corrupt than the
House of Commons. He would return to his ques-
tion—what was the use of the House of Commons ?
The King was necessarily ignorant of the sate end
condition of the people; the members of the Go-
vernment were not much less so; they could have
no practical personal acquaintance with the wants or
condition of the people ; they were surrounded with
place-hunters, who woud at any moment sacrifice
the interest of the people to their lust of profit and
emolument. As Lord Chatham had well observed,
they knew nothing of the situation of the people
unless inso far as the House of Commons might in-
form them of it. Unless the House of Commons

this point have concluded the remarks he offered to
his brother freeholders, were it not for what fell from
Mr. Briscoe at a lute meeting, when that gentleman
stated that he (Mr. D.) had been solicited to be-
come a candidate for that county. That statement
was true, and he thought it necessary to advert to
it, as Iris passing it by in silence might naturally oc-
casion sotne surprise. His reason for declining the
proposed honour was, that, its iris conscience, he did
not think that he could do his duty, and he thought
that, in refusing the support proffered to him, he
had-best consulted the interests of the county end
his own. lie begged to add, that his support of
Mr. Briscoe did not arise from any partiality for
that gentleman, but proceeded ott strictly public
grounds.
Mr. HAUSE (as we understood) rose to second
the nomination of Mr. Briscoe. 'Though but an
humble freeholder, he gave his most cordial support
to the principles which Mr. Briscoe stood forward
to advocate, and upon which ground he trusted
that the people would step forward and strengthen
his hands.
Mr. DENISON rose to address the meeting amidst
much cheering. He had not solicited one friend
to attend that meeting, and therefore nothing could
have been more gratifying to him than the reception
which he met upon that occasion--certainly, his
nomination was not unanimous—one hand was held
up against him. He was perfectly sure that the
Hon. Gentleman by whom it was so held up pro-
ceeded upon political grounds alone.--(Near, bear,
M from r. H. Sumner.)—in return for that opposi-
tion he wished him health and happiness, and that
he might long enjoy the honour which the town of
Guildford fled conferred upon him.—(Applause.)—
Pur himself, he could not desire any thing more
gratifying than that if he lived to the honoured age
of Nestor, he might annually, quarterly, monthly-,
he put in nomination for the sake of enjoying the
proud satisfaction of enjoying that Hon. Gentle-

intended to ask any man for his vote otherwise than
upon public grounds—he then expressed a determi-
nation never to coalesce with any man—he was re-
solved either to stand or fall by himself, and from
that hour to the present he had strictly abided by
that determination._( Here the Hon. Gr. tier!!

ciations that had been pending. between his Com-
mittee and that of Mr. Briscoe, respecting a divi-
*ion of the expences of the election, which were
once or twice referred to by subsequent speakers,
but which involved no political considerations what-
ever.)-7He denied all coalition with Mr. Briscoe,
neither had he fortned any coalition with Mr. Jot-
liffe. He again returned to the subject of the nego-
ciat ions between the two Committees, but was met
with cries of Question." lie then proceeded to
say, that he came there fairly to look the consti-
tuency of Surrey in the face—not one of whom
could say that he had betrayed any trust reposed in
• him—had left unredeemed any pledge he hail ever
_ . .

given—he had never broken faith with any [min—
im had never abandoned any principles which he
had once professed.—(Applause.)—le came for•
ward a• the Mend and advocate of economy and
retrenchment—of peace abroad, and of goodwill at
home. As to what had been said about crude ideas—

DatiataroND disclaimed any personal allusions.
Mr. DENISoir resumed—He begged to say that I
no irnprtant questions ever came before Parliament
which he did not attempt and endeavour to make
himself master of. In reply to what had fallen from
an Hou. Gentleman near him (Mr. Barclay), he
hoped that the next time that gentleman alluded to
any conduct of his (Mr, Denison'a.),,lo would mike
himself a little better acquainted with the frets.
He (Mr. Denison) did not vote for the Portuguese
war—he was not led away by the splendid eloquence
of Mr. Canning upon that memorable night, when
the question of the Portuguese was brought under
the consideration of the House of Commons. lie
WWI one of the few who voted against it ; and that
very evening, dining with a party of friends, he
got into a warm altercation upon the subject. He
set himself in opposition to the immense majority
of the House of Commons tvho voted for the war
upon that occasion. lie was one of the few persons
who said no against what he believed to be nearly
three-fourths of the House of Commons.—(Ap-
plause.)—As*econotny, he had a word or two to
say upon that point, and he would frankly tell what
he meant by economy. lie wished for a reduction
of taxation upon all that affected the productive in-
dusiry of the country ; he wished to see repealed
the taxes upon soap, candles, coals, house and win-.
dow tax. Ile wished to see all those repealed. Let
an honest Minister tell the greedy place-hunters by
whom every Government was surrounded, that the
time had gone by when their desires could be grati-
fied, and there would be a general and sweeping re-
duction of all salaries, where adequate duties were
not performed. Of course that recommendation
could only apply to the higher order of placemen,
not to the poor defenceless clerks, who laboured
hard, and were not inordnately paid. That was the
principle which he always had advocated, and always
should continue to advocate.

Mr. DRUMMOND—And upon that ground you
always had my vo►e.
Mr. DENISON, in continuation, defended himself

from the imputation of coining forward there wi
crude and undigested ideas. His wish was to pu
an end to rotten boroughs ; he did not wish to see
the county of Surrey disgraced by such places as
Blotchingly, Gatton, Reigate.--(A voice in the
crowd, " And Huslemcre.") The electors of that
great county returned two Members to serve in Par-
liament, and these rotten boroughs returned eight.
Was it right—was it proper—was it just ?—(Cries
of " No, no, no.") He wished to see the House of
Commons a representation of the people. lie
wished now to say a word or two about the mode of
election by ballot. At Epsom he expressed himself
unfriendly to the practice of taking the vote by bal-
lot. He wished to see the freeholders come freely
and manfully to the poll, and declare for whom they
would vote. He certainly was quite willing to give
full force to any argument in favour of vote by bal-
lot, which might be derived from the case of
France ; the Deputies there were not as subservient
to the wishes of the Crown as were the House of
Commons in this country—(Cheers)--shut he
fairly and freely admitted ; but such were his preju-
dices in favour of what he conceived to be old Eng-
lish frankness and candour, that he felt in nowise
disposed to support an election by ballot.
Colonel JoLtavytt said, that though the show of
hands was not in his favour at Epsom, he would
still offer himself to the favourable consideration of
the freeholders of Surrey. Ha begged to inform
all who heard him that carriages were in waiting at
all the villages to convey them to Guildford. He
bore no to any man ; be would proceed
strictly upon public grounds, and he was determined
to go on as long as it seemed the wish of the free-
holders that he should continue to do so, or as long
us the law allowed. There was nothing new in the
speeches of the Hon. Gentleman who had preceded
him that would be necessary for him to reply to; he
had heard nothing to make him alter any one of his
opinions; he was an advocate for Reform and for
retrenchment, but he would proceed with prudence.
As a country gentleman he was opposed to vote by
ballot. He had no other property except that which
he possessed in land—he had been in Parliament 30
years, and never asked of any Ministry any thing
for himself, or any member of his fatally, excepting
one appointmint at Tortola. At his time of life, it
was not to be supposed that he sought to rise by
entering upon the service of the State as a public
ollicer—a pension he could not look for, as he had
done nothing to earn one. He stood upon his past
conduct, and he referred to his brother freeholders
to that as a test by which they might judge of the
future.
Mr. Datscou was received with the warmest ap-
plause. In addressing his brother freeholders, he
said that he fully concurred with many of the gentle-
men who preceded him that they lived in eventful
times—whether they looked to what bad recently
passed in a neighbouring country, or whether they
turned their eyes at home, they could not help see-
ing that they lived in eventful times; especially
whey they looked to their own country, they could
not be insensible to the overwhelming weight of
debt which pressed upon them, and overwhelming
load of taxation which pressed upon the productive
industry of the country. The industrous classes were
oppressed and borne down, and unless aometiting of
sympathy were shown to theta by the Legislative
and the Executive Government, the most disastrous
consequences, he would be bound to say would in-
evitably follow. He thought that the object of
electors, in times like the present, should be to re-
turn such men to Parliament as would form a House
of Commons really sympathising with the people,
and feeling for their distress. Now he put it to his
brother electors to say, was there that full, fair, and
free representation of the people in the Commons
House of Parliament which there ought to be Y---
(Cries of " No, no, no l") In times, then, like the
present, it behoved a great and enlightened metro-
politan county like that of Surrey, to set an example
to the test of the country, which, if wisely and eilis
ciently lollowed, would
prove fraught with salutary
consequences. The electors of such a county, and
the electors of all counties, should deliberate well
before they gave their votes—votes that were due
to men principles and of iinpartiai
other. - If such votes seat him to Parliament, he
