The Representat'on of Tiverton,

TIVERTON, Monday.
This afternoon the Hon. G. Denman arrived by
the express train, and was met at the station by a
large number of the inhabitants of the town. The
workpeople at the extensive factory had a holiday,
and the operatives turned out and gave the hon.
gentleman an enthusiastic reception. Previous to
his arrival he issued an address, in which he said :
" The event which has plunged all England into mourn-
ing has created a vacancy in the representation of your
borough. It is with a profound sense of responsibility
that, upon a vacancy so caused, and with the requiem notes
of the great departed statesman still echoing through the
land, I venture again to address you, and to become a can-
didate for your suffrages. I should not presume to take
this step had I not solid grounds for believing that, not-
withstanding my recent defeat at the general election, my
services may now be acceptable to the majority of your
body. I have so recently had a full opportunity of stating
my opinions to you that it would be superfluous now to
recapitulate them. I have stated them frankly and fully,
and shall again be ready to do so on all occasions. I shall,
if elected as your representative, be prepared to give the
Government of Lord Russell my hearty support so long as
their measures shall be in accordance with those Liberal
principles in which I believe. I shall resist to the best of
my power all attempts from within or from without to
weaken that Government by prematurely disparaging their
strength or their merits before they have even had the
opportunity of proposing to Parliament those measures by
which, and by which alone, they are entitled to be judged."

In company with Mr. F. Holl, the chairman of
the late Lord Palmerston's committee and the Pre-
mier's friend of many years' standing, the Hon G.
Denman and a largenumber of the principal trades-
men of the town assembled at the Three Tuns, in
front of which a vast crowd was assembled.

Mr. DENMAN was warmly received on appearing
at the window. He commenced by alluding in feel-
ing and eloquentterms to the loss which the borough,
the nation, and the world had sustained in the death
of Lord Palmerston. He was ready, although with
diffidence, to offer himself as a candidate to fill the
vacancy caused by the noble lord's death, and as
there were three months yet to come before there
would be an election, ample opportunities would be
afforded to the other side if they wished to bring for-
ward a candidate to oppose him. He hoped, how-
ever, that if they did so they would give them (the
Liberal party) fair notice of it, so that the battle
might be fairly fought. (Cheers.) They well knew
his political principles, and there he need not say
much about them, except that he was still firmly at-
tached to civil and religious toleration, to freedom
of speech and of thought, of which the late Lord
Palmerston was so good an exponent in the eyes of
foreign nations. (Cheers.)
Mr. F. ROLL addressed a few words of congra-
tulation to the assembly, and it then dispersed.
Although it was stated in The Sun of Saturday
that the Conservatives were making an effort to
bring forward a candidate, it is believed that they
will not do so, and that Mr. Denman will have a
walk over. Many of the Conservatives, it is under-
stood, disapprove any opposition to the hon. gentle-
