LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVE JULY 26 1837.

The columns of The Srm contain to-day proofs
rather more convincing than satisfactory to the Tories
that the re-action of which they boasted so loudly and
pertinaciously, and which was to accomplish such
mighty wonders when an opportunity offered, existed
no where but in their own bewildered imaginations.
A fairer opportunity than a general election affords
for showing the strength of their party the could not
possibly desire. And how have they sped hitherto ?
How have their anticipations been realized in the elec-
tions which hare already taken place ? Turn we
first to the metropolitan districts. It was here, they
said, that the re-action was the greatest, and that its
eEcts would be most perceptible in the issue of the
elections. The Standard, the fellow-la►bourer of the

Times in every artifice that can serve the purpose,
however momentary, of the faction to which both are
bound, assured its readers a day or two ago that it
would " answer for the metropolis and its neighbour-
hood ;" that success was " not merely probable, but

a3solutely—inevitably certain." Well, the maropo-
litan elections arc over, and how many Tory Nimbus
h ive been added to the list ? Not one. The party

have actually lost a Member. All of these elections,
but one, have been contested ; and from all have the
Tory candidates come off with defeat—from most of

than with disgraceful defeat. In Finsbury the Tory did
not poll half the votes of the second Liberal, being
niI:MS two thousand five hundred. In Lambeth Mr.

BALDWIN, the Proprietor of the Standard, and a
man whose personal character stands high in that bo-
,. . •

r ,ugh, could not get within a thousand votes of his
opponents. In Marylebone the majority in favour of
Reform would have been as great, had not the Refor-
mers, through a mistaken policy, thrown away agreat

number of votes on the two supernumerary candidates

and in Westminster the Liberal Candidates are, while
we write (half-past two o'clock), more than a thousand
a head of Sir GEORGE MURRAY, the Tory sub-
stitute of renegade BURDETT. It is therefore virtu-
ally decided. This is by far the most important of all
the Metropolitan elections, with the exception of the
City of London. It was Westminster which the
Tories held up above all other places as their very
beau ideal of re-action. Nothing, they said, was ever
so astounding in the history of politics as the change.
which had come over the electors of that city since the
last General Election. The return of the " faded
beau" was not to be accounted for on any other prin-
ciple than a total dereliction of Reform, and the adop-
tion of anti-Reform opinions. Here then we see a
crack specimen of re-action, in the return, by an over-
whelming majority, of two out-and-out Radicals.
Such, then, are the glorious results of the metro-
politan elections. In the provinces, though success
has not been so uniformly on the side of the people,
there has been, upon the whole, a considerable acces-
sion of strength to the Liberal ranks. If one has been
lost to the cause, by aristocratic oppression and Tory
gold, at Liverpool, one has been gained by the triumph
of principle at Bristol. At Leicester, at Northamp
ton, where the Tory whipper-in has been whipped out,
at Yarmouth, Windsor, Dover, Rochester, and a
variety of other towns, Tories have been sent adrift,
and Reformers substituted in their stead. Bath and
Hull are the only towns of any consequence where the
Tories have been successful, and this has, we believe,
been owing to unprecedented intimidation and bribery
on the one hand, and to a false security on the other.
Let us then urge the electors who have yet to vote
to take warning by the errors, as well as to follow the
good example, of the reformers. Their enemies are,
it is true, weak in principle, but they are strong in
some other respects. They have wealth and influence,
and these they are using without stint or scruple to
bribe_ and overawe every elector upon whom these
powerful engines can be made to bear. They are
in truth, fighting this battle with the desperation
of men who feel that it is a death struggle.
Shall the Reformers, who have right on their
side—shall those who are conscious that they are
engaged in the best of causes, the cause of their
QUEEN and their country—display less devotion, or
combat with less energy ? No, the electors of Great
Britain will never allow this reproach to attach
t o them. They will vie with each other, in
a generous rivalry of z(al, activity, and perseverance,
