A continuance of fine weather, with a very limited at.

holders of free Wheat to press sales, and notwithstanding
the few samples offering, prices of all descriptions were
fully 3d. per bushel lower, and the trade dull at the de-

.RKEIR-July 21.

This place was yesterday the scene of great bustle amd
excitement, in consequence of a requisition having been
signed for a meeting by a number of the most respectable
inhabitants of the County, for the purpose of nominating
two Members to serve in Parliament for the County of
Surrey. Vehicles of every desciiption were, from an catty
hour, bringing in rations parties from Godalming, Chen-
spy, Mersham, Croydon, &e. The Dorking and Chertsey
people seemed all in favour of Mr. Briscoe, while those of
Kingston, Godaltning, and Guildford t sok up, the cause of
Mr. Dennison. The different candidates entered the town
at an early hour with their respective friends. On
arriving at the Spread Eagle, Mr. Dennison was loudly
cheered, as was also Colonel Jolliffe in a minor degree.
When Mr. Briscoe arrived, however, together with some of
the female part of his family in an open landau, the populace
appeared so unanimous in his favour that they insisted
upon taking out the four horses, and actually drew him
into the town from the distance of a mile and a half
amidst loud hones. On arriving at the 'Spread Eagle he
briefly returned thanks to them with great energy and ap-
parent satisfaction.
Mr. Allcock, who had declared his intention to stand
for Surrey, we understood, at an early hour in the day,
resigned.
Several amusing and witty squibs were circulated plen-
tifully throughout the town and 'neighbourhood, and in-
deed all over the county; those against Mr. Allcock were of
lather a broad description, and the following is a specimen
of those against Colonel Jolliffe
PROCLAMATION.
PETERIWIELD, TO WIT,
NVHEREAS it has appeared to us to be most desirable that
We /11101.11 d be elected for our County of Surrey, instead of sitting
in the Honourable House of Commons for our Borough of
PETEItSFIELD, as We have done for these Forty Years last
past ; it has therefore pleased us in our wisdom, to endeavour to
cajole the Electors of SURREY, by declaring our attachment
to the " King and Constitution," (the art and mystery of
Boroughinongering being the essence of that Constitution) and
thereby Induce them to return us as their Knight of the Shire.
We therefore by these presents, recommend ourselves to the
Freeholders of the afore-mentioned County for the purpose.—
And whereas it has been the vulgar custom for Persons in our
situation to declare their qualifications for the honour which
they aro soliciting; in cotnpliance therewith We have to declare
that all our previous Votes have hitherto been given in opposi.
tion to the vulgar idea, that Members of the said House sit
there for the benefit of the People at large; and further to de.
dare that We are determined still to pursue the same course,
detesting, as We are so well known to do, all Rats and Rat-
Catchers, and never to change the opinions We have once
formed, except for the most interesting and weighty reasons.
Given at our Manor House, at Merstham, under our hand and
seal, this present Thursday, the 211th day of July, in the
Year of our Lord, 1830.
(Signed) JOLLIFEE.
At one o'clock the High Sheriff, Sir William Hylton
Jolliffe, accompanied by the different candidates, took their
places on the hustings prepared for their reception in the
open space fronting the Spread Eigle.
The Sub-Sheriff, Mr. Almon, read the requisition for
calling a meeting, and
The Ilion SHERIFF shortly addressed the meeting,
recommending them to give every freeholder a patient
and impartial hearing.
H. LEECH, Esq. then presented himself to the meeting.
He slid so for the purpose of nominating (hy the particular
desire of his friend), Mr. Dennison as a fit candidate for
the high honour of representing this great and populous
county in Parliament. They were met there after the
death of one King and the accession of another
to the throne of these realms. His present
Majesty appeared to have done every thing for the pur.
pose of appeasing and indulging his people, and he Mr.
Leech was sure, that if his Majesty chum to economise the
public money, he would reign in the hearts of his people
for many years. __,.(Loud cheers. )__lt had been much
talked of in the House of Common before the death of the
late King, that the Civil List was too large, but that coin-
plaint tnet an opposition, on the ground that it was
agreed to on the accession of his late ltlajesty, and could
not be afterwards altered during his life. It appeared to
him, as the nation was growing poorer, theta King should
be the first to say, " I see you are not so well able
to pay one million a year as you were, therefore I
will reduce my expenditure." The House of Com-
mons appeared pretty nearly of the same opinion,_
It would be necessary for the meeting to hear all that
the different candidates had to say upon this most
important of all subjects. He firmly believed that the
candidate he bail the honour to propose would do all that
could be done to forward the important object of retrench-
ment, and he keiw the Government under the Duke of
Wellington would acquiesce in that. He could say nothing
against the present Ministry, but he could assure the
meeting that something ought to be done fur the farming
interest, as it was now in a state deplorable in the extreme.
Tenants were paying their landlords out of their capital.
Many landlords were not aware of that fact, because
they had not experienced the full effect of the great
diminution of prices. He hoped sincerely that that
subject would be taken into consideration by the
candidates, at least such of them as might have , the
honour of reaching the House of Commons. There was
also another thing which he would call their attention to,
of no less importance, namely a reform in the House 'of
Commons.—(Bravo, bravo.)—He had heard it argued re-
peatedly in the House of Commons that the system was
good, and that it worked well. He (Mr. Leech) how-
ever, was confident that it did not work well, and that
they had surer and surer proofs of that every day.....
(Loud cheers.)—He hoped that the meeting would expect
the candidates who would offer themselves should explain
their intentions on this most important point.—(Hear,
hear, hear. )—Since the Duke of Wellington had come
Into office, considerable reductions had taken place, but
those reductions, he was sorry to say, had fallen upon
officers who could not bear reduction: If the Duke of
Wellington would begirt with the 'Civil List, to which
he (Mr. Leech) had not the least objection, they would
then be able to extricate themselves, end resluction'would
go en in a legitimate way, The Hon. Gentleman con-
cluded by proposing Wm. Joseph Dennison, Esq. as a
candidate for the honour of representing the county of
Surrey in Parliament. That, gentleman bad constaptly,
given an able opposition to the levying of taxes that were
not necessary, and had always supported the honour, dig-
nity, and interest of the people.—(Loud cheering.)
--- Goss, Esq., cattle forward to second the nomi-
nation. There was no occasion on which he felt prouder
than when an assemblage of freeholders met for the pur-
pose of electing from among themselves one of their num-
ber to represent the rest in Parliament. He felt prouder
than usual on this occasion, as it afforded him the oppor-
tunity ofseconding the nomination of the county's long-tried
and faithful Representative—one who had not offered him-
self newly to their notice, one who bad not come fonvard when
liberal principles were most in fashion, but who had been
their consistent advocate, and had stood Isis ground in foul
weather as well as fair.—(Tremendous cheering.) They
were met there for the purpose of performing one of the
most important duties that could be performed by man :
honestly and fairly to elect one from among them, not so
much for their own interest, as for the interest of the
empire at large. These were not, he was happy to say,
times when their attehtions were taken up by conflicting
opinions—they were not called on to resist any . encroach-
ments on their liberties, thanks to the liberal policy of the
present times. He was sorry, however, to be obliged to
allude to the overwhelming weight of taxation, which they
inherited from their forefathers, and which, like a• poli-
tical gangrene, gnawed the vitals of the State. The
money of the country was, in his opinion, bestowed upon
those who were already overburdened with pensions. He
should not be content till he had seen all useless sinecures
abolished, and reductions made from .the Prime Minister
down to the clerk of 2001. a year. The present enor-
mous salaries had been raised with the prices, and he
should advocate their reduction in the present , low
prices to a sum equivalent to which 'they were raised.
With regard to the Honourable Gentleman whose
nomination he had the honour of seconding, he believed
him worthy of their highest confidence in every respect,
and he had no doubt that be would always act as he had,
done for time interest of the freeholders and the country at
large. He should conclude by seconding the nomination-
of Mr. Dennisone—(Cheere.)
Mr. Dextrison then addressed the meeting. He should
not be doing his duty to himself, the freeholders, or his
friends to the right and left, if he did not return his most
sincere thanks for the handsome manner in which he bad
been introduced and received. He was also under great
obligations to those gentlemen who had signed the requi-
sition for the meeting. In reference to the candidates
who now appeared before them, it would be necessary for
hitn to make some obtervations, lie thought that can-
didates should always be able to explain their conduct Atl the
grounds on which therhad acted, whenever they met their
constituents, and lie be
oftener they met their con_
lcierleed ers ti.t;
stituents the better.—( For his own part he believed
that no man who had faithfully discharged his duty need
shrink from such
a meeting. Whenever he had the
in
sure of meeting his constituents, he always brought n his
hand a list of the votes he had given.—(Loud cheers, and
cries of "We wish they would all do so.") If there was
any gentleman who had Any thing:to bay against his conduct,
he (Mr. D.) hoped that he would come forward and meet
him manfully before them.-.-(Loud applause, and cries of
" There axe none ; there are 1104.." to ire
In order - g
them a strict account of his conduct, be had alwaysrnatiit
it a rule to insert in his list every vote be had given m e
day before he retired to rest. He would now produce

that account, and the whole meeting were welcome
to • inspect it. When he first had the honour of
being called from his retirement by the freeholders
of the county of Surrey, he bad laid down s plan for the
adoption of certain principles, and he believed to that plan
I-c was indebted for the honour conferred upon him. He
had then stated that he would always be the advocate of
retrenchment and reform. He had acted throughout in
conformity to the principles with which he started, and
be would do so to his dying day.—(Loud and continued
cheers.)—He had named reform and retrenchment; he
had no doubt those words would be used by every candi-
date who presented himself to their notice.—(Laughter.)
He thought it right, however, to explain what he meant
by those words, because words, as sometimes used, meant
nothing.---(Hear, bear, ani laughter.)—What he meant
by retrenchment way a desire to see the repeal of half the
hut-therm which were now crushing the productive inte-
rests of the country.—(flear, hear.)—He meant also the
repeal of the taxes upon houses, windows, coals, soap, and
candles, and particularly those upon coals—and, in fact,
all the taxes which pressed upon the poor and labouring
classes of ,this country. Ile would advocate reduction in
almost every view ; he would reduce all the salaries that
had been raised during the high price of provisions; he
would vote for reduction in the civil list, the department
of diplomacy, and superannuation, in the expenditure in
the colonies abroad, and in the present mode of collecting
the revenue et home. The man who advocated the hate-
rests of the people would vote for all the e reductions,
and the people ought not to elect any candidate that would
oppose them. He could not help wishing, too, that while
the people complained with reason of too much subser-
viency on the part of their Members within doors, that
they would do their own duty out of doors, and elect
such candidates as they could depend on for nut being sub-
servient, and for advocating their great interests. As his
respectable and Hon. Friend, who had kindly come for
ward to nominate him, had alluded to the general agri-
cultural distress, he (Mr. D.) could not help saying on
that subject, that the distress of the agriculturist was so
great and so general that some alterations must he made,
for at present the farmer did not take his coin to market
to fill his own pocket, but to pay the tax-gatherer. He
had now a few words to say on Parliamentary Reform,
the other point to which he had alluded. For thirty
years, ,the length of time that he had had the honour 6f-
sitting in. Parliament, he had always been a steady and
consistent advocate for every' measure tending to that se-
suit. He considered it ,the most important question in
which the county was interested. He hail always voted
for it, and always would. Ile had given his first vote for
the motion of Lord Grey, and be trusted that his last
would coincide with his first. As he had named Lord
Grey, he felt bound to pay a just tribute to the worth of
that now Noble Peer, and he could not better do so than
in adopting the words of the poet who was well known
to them. He would say that that Nobleman had lived—
" Unpiaced, unpensioncei, no man's hire or slave."
(Great cheering.)—He could not too much admire the
whole course of that Noble Lord's life, nor could he do
better than advocate his measures and tread in his foot-
steps. In the furtherance of reform it would be his great
object to decrease the expences attendant on elections as
much as possible. He should vote for the extension of the
elective franchise, and he believed the consequeuce that
would result from that mea-ore would be, that a gentle-
man having only a moderate fortune, might contest county
elections without the certainty of ruining his family.
Then no high patrician or opulent man could lord it over
a county to the exclusion of better talented and better
qualified men than himself, and every freeholder in the
county would have an equal chance with 'the highest. He
would go further and say, why could not all the Actions
in England take place on the same day
and at the same
hour? and why could not the poll be taken in
each hundred ? These alterations were what he meant
by reform; he bad been its old friend, but though its strong
advocate, there was one part of the subject to which,
perhaps erroneously, he had never been able to moke up
his mind in acceding to; he referred to the taking of
votes by ballot. He differed with many reformers on that
subject,' but he did so on convictilln, for although he knew
the great advantages that attended that mode of taking
votes, yet he could not make up his mind to the abolition
of that good old English' custom by which an English
freeholder could go boldly to the poll and give there his
vote openly and fearlessly to the man whom he preferred.
—(Hear, hear, and loud cheene)—Before he concluded lie
wished to say a few words with reference to a report that
had been circulated to his prejudice, namely, that it was
his intention to give his second vote to Mr. Briscoe. He
begged to say he had no such understanding or intention—
(Cries of "He will come in upon your shoulder.," and
laughter.)--He had the highest respect for that gentleman,
and trusted be should have the honour of sitting beside
him in Parliarnent.--(Hear, beer, and crier of " You
11 will, you will." )—.But although he Wished so with great
Sincerity, yet he could assure the meeting no such at range-
menus as bad been imputed to him had been made. He
was sorry to find,,in canvassing Southwark, it had been
intimated to him that souse dislike existed towards him
in consequence of the course he had limner] with re-
ference to the Coal Dieters' Bill. 'The conduct he had
pursued with respect to that measure, he should again
adopt under similar circumstances, even if it lost him hie
election.—(Loud cheers.)—He knew not ashy any dislike
should be shown to him on that account, the honest coal-
merchant having no occasion to complain, all complaint
being confined to the fraudulent one. He would always
endeavour to give that very necessary article of fuel to the
lower classes of the people as cheaply as possible. lie
begged to return his sincere thanks to the freeholders for
their attention and support, and he hoped to see them at
the poll.—(The Hon. Gentleman sat down amidst reite-
rated cheers.)
The calls for Mr. Briscoe here were very violent, and
several speakers were interrupted till that gentleman came
forward and informed the freeholders that he should have
the honour of addressing them at a future stage of the
proceeding.
Sir . RICHARD Fainzato proposed Colonel Jolliffe.
(Here the cries of " No, no; bring him next week ;
knows how to return himself," resounded from all quar-
ters.) He would propose to them a man who had always
done his duty.—(Cries of, " Yes, to himself and his
rotten borough of Petersfield.) He would refer them for
the character of Colonel Jolliffe to the most honest man
In' the county; be meant Mr. Hudson, of Tadworth.—
(Shouts of "Bravo, bravo," continued laughter, and cries
of, " We don't know him.") Col. Jolliffe was well known
to be amiable in his private career and efficient in his public
one.—(Cries of " Well done, old fox-hunter.")—He
would tell them that England expects every man to do his
duty.—(Some applause, mixed with renewed laughter, and
cries of" The Colonel knows his duty to himself.")—The
Hon. Baronet concluded with remarking that he should
Say no mere.—(Loutl applause.)—Although the free-
holders appeared not to coincide with him—(Cheers)—he
had no doubt that the poll would show they perfectly
agreed with him.—(Grent applauge.)
CHARLES BARCLAY, Esq. seconded Colonel Jolliffe'e
nomination, because he was aware that he would support
the Ministry.—(Laughter, and cries of " We know that
lie always does.")—Some pet sons bad said that the
Colonel was nut a man of words; but be (Mr. B.) could
tell them that it was not always their interest to send
to the House of Commons representatives who would only
impede the business of the country by uttering their crude
and undigested notions...-.(Cries of " He has never uttered
any thing for 40 years ;" the laughter following which,
together with the shouts of " Off, off—shut up—he
voted against the seer Bill,")—.prevented the Hon. Mem-
her from being heard.)
Colonel. JOLLUITE then addressed the meeting, He
was received with cheers, hisses, and uproar. He felt
great pleasure in addressing the freeholder. of Surrey.—
'Although he was not competent to otter the beautiful sen-
timents which bad fallen from some of the speakers, he
would endeavour, in plain country sentiments and lan-
guage, to make himself understood. He would explain
to them the course he intended pursuing, if he succeeded
to the honour of hieing their representative. The first
subject which had been adverted to wits economy and re-
trenchment. For his own part he had nothing but land.
—(Cries of "No contracts r) No, lie bad not one.—
He was an advocate for every consistent reduction in taxa-
tion. The Duke of Wellington had done much for theta,
and lie thanked him for it; and lie (Colonel Jolliffe)
knew that he %ovoid do still more. He wished to see
country gentlemen living on their estates again, sod em-
ploying the poor. He considered that every landlord ought
to hook upon himself es the father of a large family; and
should recollect,' that in advancing the interests of his te•
Hants, he was attending to his own. For his own part,
although he had property in many counties, he could lay
his hand upon his heart, and say, that he bad never lost a
tenant except by the wish of the latter or the affliction
of death. He would like to tread in the footsteps
of his ancestors, keep open house and old English hospi-
tality. No gentleman could do that at the present time
without great reduction in taxation...., Cheers and cries
of " why don't you vote for it then ?")----If they wished
for reform they must proceed gradually, for if they wished
to get a better view from the top of a house, they must
put their foot ou the eveneat step. He had seen many
plane of reform brought Forward.-..(Cries of " did you
vote for them ?")....lie wished, however, to see a regular
plan of reform brought ferwerd, and then he should he
willing to vote for it..—(A freeholder here interrupted the

Gallant Colonel with " can't you laugh in the House as
you do here, Colonel ?")--Here great confusion prevailed,
in which the Sheriff interfered, and the Gallant Colonel
retired amidst loud cheers and uproar.
H. Daustsiroon, Esq., rose for the purpose of nomi-
nating Mr. 13eieeoe —(Cheers, and miss of " he is the
man.")—fie went at considerable length into a descrip-
tion of the capabilities and political opinions of that
gentleman considering him much better calculated to serve
the interest of the freeholders of the county in Parliament
than any candidate who did not understand what he was
about, and who was either obliged to be silent, or utter
such crude and undigested notions, the fear of which had
so alarmed the friend of the Gallant Colonel.--(Hear,
great laughter, and cries of " Briscoe, for ever.")
Mr. SPURLINO, of Norbury Park, shortly seconded
the !lamination of Mr. Briscoe.
H. J. ibuscoß, E.g., then came forward, and was re-
ceived with loud cheers, which lasted several minutes. The
Hon. Gentlemen appeared in ill health, and spoke in a
low tone ; lint, as far as we could hear him, he addressed
the meeting as follows :—" Gentle nen—By your kindness
and indulgence I am permitted this day to explain the prin-
cipakinducements which have led me to offer myself as a can-
didate for the high tumour of representing this extensive
an opulent county in 'Parliament. Gentlemen, I felt after
the retirement armr hoe worthy Member, Mr. Pallmer,
it would have ill become me to have offered myself as a
candidate feir the high distinction and honour of being
cue of the representatives of this enlightened county. I
presumed myself that there were were many men whose
pretensions were much superior to any that I could offer;
and I can assure you that the first object of my heart was,
feeling as I 'do a very deep interest in the welfare of the
county, and every man in it ; I say, my first wish was to
obtain for you a representative every way qualified to re-
present you. The individual who has addressed you (Mr.
Drummond), and who has done me the great honour of
nominating me, was tl a individual whom I thought, of all
thi re, possessed the greatest pretensions to that high honour.
—(Hear,—" Well done Briscoe, that's eense.")•--Gens
Vernet), I communicated my wishes to that Hon. Gentleman
and endeavoured by every means in my power to persuade
him to become a candidate, and it was not until after more
than one r, quisition had been presented to him, and he
had deelisiett appearing, that I entertained the intention of
giving you an opportunity of exercising your privileges in
favour of myself.—(Cheers.)—Gentletnert, it becomes me
to say that I do feel that the individual to whom I am op.'
posed as a candidate is an individual of the most high,
honourable, and bsnevolrnt mind. He has lived respected
by all his friends, and whether I look upon him in the
light of a friend, a brother, or a gentleman, I am certain
there is net any individual in the county of Surrey who
is more entitled to your respect and consideration. I say
that honestly ; but I say also that I differ totally from
Colonel Jolliffe in political views and principles. I was
determined, therefore, Gentlemen, that you should
have an opportunity of making an independent
choice. I considered myself as no stranger to you,
and I therefore felt justified, nay, considered it a public
I duty, to offer myself to your notice.—(Great cheers.) I
hold, and have ever held, the pure principles of indepen•
dence. lem perfectly unfettered by party of every kind,
and should I obtain the high honour (perhaps 1 am going
too fast now) of representing you in Parliament, be as.
cured I shall always act as my judgment tells me I
ought for the interest of this county and the country at
large.--("Bravo—thatissense —that's something like.") I do
not mean to say, Gentlemen, that I entertain any hostility
towards the Duke of Wellington and his Government, but
I am very far from saying that I will pledge myself to sap-
pc), t either the Duke of Wellington or any other individual.
I look only to the measures which are brought forward,
and I shall only ask myself are these measures
for the public good, and will the country he bone_
fitted by them. If they do confer benefits on the
country, they shall have my decided and cordial support.
—(Cries of " Bravo, bravo.")—Reference has been made
to the old distinction of Whig and Tory, though I don't
understand the pressnt distinctions, nor do I belong to
either ; but there is a third party which I know well, and
which I feel proud in saying Ido belong to—l mean the
party of the people.—(Loud cries, whirls continued for
some time.)—The people of the country is the
party to which I belong. I profess my most sin-
cere attachment to that party, and I will say that I
shall always stand firm by the side of the people. As lung
as they will stand by me I never will desert them. Now,
gentlemen, respecting those questions which have been ' re-
ferred to, and which I will not shrink from fully and die-
tinctly declaring nay opinion on—l mean the question of
Parliamentary reform, retrenchment by the Duke of Welling-
ton, and the reduction of taxation--I will now say a few
words. Something has beenstaid about course and indignant
notions being. uttered in the House ad Common*, I consider
that a man who has not the power of expressing himself
with propriety in advocating the interests of the people,
and who being heard, cannot he heard with advantage to
you on the many questions—important questions with refer-
ence to the internal and foreign politics of the country,
that suck an individual is not a fit representative
for this great county. On the great questions to which
he had alluded, the most important one was Parliamentary
Reform. I feel, gentlemen, that it is impossible not to
admit, with reference to that subject, that, in order to pros•
duce the effect which we all truly and sincerely wish,
namely, a fair, full, and free representation of the people,
such a measure mug be the result of great labour and much
del beration. I mean, gentlemen, to vote for the shorten-
lug of the duration of Parliament, for the extension of the
elective franchise, and for giving the representation to
large towns, such as Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds,
Sheffield, and so on. Should Ibe so fortunate as to find
my way, by your votes, into the House of Com-
mons, I shall take upon myself the task of bring-
log about that kind of reform by which every
freeholder in every county in England will have the
means of expressing his opinion by giving his vote. Upon
the subject of retrenchment, which is more important titan
reduction, because reduction never can be gone far with
without retrenchment, I shall always be found in the
House of Commons voting for the people. And I hope
the time will come when the people of England will see
who is addressing them for their good, and give their cor-
dial assent to every word that falls front the laws.
Upon subjects such as these I shall always be found stand•
ing by the side of the Hon. Candidate who first addressed
you, (Mr. Dennison) and my vote in the House of Com-
mon* unfettered by party will agree with his.—(Loud
applause, and cries of " you are the men we want.)-
1 wish, Gentlemen, to call your attention now to the
address respecting the principles on which I was induced
to come forward. There is one part with refer-
ence to expences, upon which 1 wish to offer
a few observations. Gentlemen, I wish to mention, that
among the inducements I received from all quarters to
come forward, there was one to which I could not accede,
for, supposing that I hrid a fortune as independent as my
mind—and, if I had not, I should not be qualified to be,
your representative (for I believe a Member of Parliament
ought to be a liberal contribittor to all the public
charities of his county--that be ought constantly
to promote all their public institutions, and patronise every
public object connected with the interests of the country,
that he ought not only to give them his person, but his
purse;) but, Gentlemen, if in the first instance you call
upon him to embarrass his private fortune, it will be ut-
ter's' impossible that he could patronise the many valuable
objects I have alluded to. Gentlemen, it was upon these

dlf I am returned to Parliament and I cannot perform
those responsible duties attached to my important situ*, tion without the complete devotion of all my time and
talents, be assured that next to my God I will serve yon.
—(Loud cheering.)--I shall be very glad, Gentlemen,
to offer any explanation on whet has fallen front Mr.
Denman on the subject of monopoly, whether in agricul-
tore, commerce, or trade. I know that monopoly tends
only to injure the condition and to destroy all the happi-
ness of the labouring poor, lam and ever shall be an
enemy to monopoly in any shape. I am perfectly aware
that I have very little hope for the successful issue of the
present contest ; I have declared that I will not ad-
here to any striot line of conduct, and I can assure
you I had the most unequivocal representations from one
end of the county to the other, that if I would give my
purse as well as my principles, my election was certain.

relying upon the people. I thought it duo to their
pity as well as interest to refuse, and I told them
in allusion to the debt which had been mentioned this day,
which is now hanging over us to the amount of 800 mil-
lions, that if the House of Commons had been fairly
the people that that debt would not have been

and their children, to return a proper representa-
tive. I told them if you will return me to Parliament, I
will go there representing the people of Surrey, representing
all the great branches that are contained within it; not
the landed interest alone, but commerce, trade, and the inte-
