REPRESENTATION OF ABINGDON.

A public meeting of the electors of Abingdon was called
on Tuesday evening, in the County-hall, by Major J.
Haythorne Reed, another candidate, who has made his
appearance in the liberal interest. Major Reed issued
his address to the electors about a week ago, and since
that time he has followed the example of one of the other
candidates—Mr. Norris —in actively canvassing the
borough, preparatory to addressing the electors in
public.
The meeting in the County-hall was numerously at-
tended. Major Reed, who appeared to occupy quite
an independent position, was unaccompanied by any
friends, and, at his reqaest, the meeting selected for
themselves a, chairman, the gentleman being a non-voter
—Mr. Williams, of Northcote.
Major REED entered into a statement of the reasons
which had induced him to offer himself as a can-
didate for the borough ; and having proceeded to
say
as to the pretensions of the other hon. candidate (the
Hon. J. W. Fortescue), he was so intimately
thatimately connected
with the Treasury as to renderit likely hisc o
c supportted
would in all instances be afforded to the
nistratioa ; and although he (Major Reed)

(Cheers.) If thatinbvaodhed

were now engaged. And although they might term him
the firebrand of Europe, he was the man of all others upon whom Austria, Russia, and all the continental
powers looked with fear, because he had ever taken the
course which an Englishman ought to pursue, in sacrificing
his private feelings for the aggrandisement of the coun-
try. (Cheers.) The gallant candidate declared himself
favourable to an extension of the suffrage, to keep pace
with the increasing intelligence of the industrious °lasses.
He also approved of some mode of preventing the undue
intimidation of the electors. To secure that object he
would not object to grant the ballot where constituencies

elected, to exert himself in obtaining a branch railway
for the convenience of the inhabitants of Abingdon.
Mr. FALKNXR inquired what the opinions of the hon.
gentleman were with respect to the Maynooth grant
Major REED said he was averse to the application of
public moneys for religious purposes. (Cheers.) At the
same time, the Maynooth grant had certain advantages
—one of which was the education of priests with some
proper appreciation of our country and respect for our
government, which was better than importing them front
ultramontate continental countries. At the same time,
he considered that, it the grant to Maynooth was to be,
continued, it should be paid out of the Irish Consoli-
dated Church Fund, which was rich enough to pay that.
or any other grant. (Hear, hear.)
No other questions were put, and the proceeding.
terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman.
