in the House of Commons, and the Duke of Wellington in
the Hotie of Lords.—(Cheers.) That new Poor-law, which
tended to rob the people of their right to maintenance on the

. soil of their birth, and to which they were as much entitled as
the greatest Lord to his estates.—( Loud cheers.) Mr.
Ewart said indeed, that he was opposed to the machinery of
the new Poor-law Act, but Mr. Ewart did not understand
IN hat that machinery was.—( Laughter.) Mr. Ewart said he
was the advocate of local self-government in this borough. Did
he not know that Paddington wasjoined to the Kensington Union,
and that thus a part of the borough was under the govern-
ment of the Commissioners ?—( Loud cheers.) Mr. Ewart
advocated the principles of the new Poor-law. Those princi-
ples were the principles of despotism—principles which would
place every parish under the controul of three men, one of
whom was Frankland Lewis, appointed by the Whigs, yet
one of the rankest Tories in existence.—(Cheers.) Not only
had Mr. Ewart supported the Whig Government in all their
atrocious outrages upon the liberties of the people, but when
lie went into the House of Commons he went there as
an avowed supporter of the Whigs.—( Renewed cheerios%)
Now, he (Mr. M.) would call the attention of the electors to
some votes of Mr. Ewart, stated in a book published four
years ago, and which Mr. Ewart would have an opportunity of
explaining.—( Cheers.) He found that in the first Session
of the Reformed Parliament, Mr. Tennyson moved a resolu-
tion that the House should bring in a Bill to repeal the :Sep-
tennial Act. How did Mr. Ewart vote on that occasion ?
He hail it recorded there in the pamphlet before him, that he
had voted against the Bill.—( Cries of " Shame.") Now, in
the second Session ofthe Reform Parliament, Mr. Harvey moved
an inquiry svith-the Pension List. How did Mr. Ewart vote
on that occasion ? Mr. Ewart voted against any inquiry into
the Pension List in 1834. Mr. Ewart was now become a
Radical. He was one of that faction amongst the Whigs
who knowing that the feeling of the country was opposed to
the Tories, had determined to thrust himself forward, in the
hope of saving the rotten and shuffling Government which had
brought nothing but misery upon the land.—( Cheers.) They
were aware that Lord John Russell had declared that there
should be no more reform. Lord Melbourne had declared
there should be no more reform.—( Groaning and hiss-
ing.) Who were supporting Mr. Ewart on the
present occasion? All the hangers on of the Whig Govern-
ment. Hovenden, a parishioner, who had obtained a birth of
8001. per annum as a Tithe Commissioner ; Wilson, who had
also got a birth ; Ivimey, and all the connections of the Whigs
and the false Radicals were with Mr. Ewart. The contest
was one between Whigs, Tories, and Radicals. ( A voice in
the crowd, " Why don't you put the Radicals first ?"—Great
laughter.) The Whigs were down—they were broken up.--
(Cheers.) The country had their eyes upon the present
election, and the question to be determined was, whether
they would have the Radicals in power or the Tories._
(Hear.) He called upon Mr. Ewart to show them a single
instance in which the Whigs had honestly supported the Ra-
dicals.—( Loud cries of " Never.") The Radical were now
determined to set up on their own account. They had raised
the standard of radicalism, and for that purpose they called
on them to support Col. Thompson, who had been always the
honest and firm supporter of the people—who had never con-
nected himself with the base truckling, Whigs, and who had
been a consistent supporter of the poor man's rights.—( Vehe-
ment cheering, and a cry of "How is Murphy's Almanac ?")
Never mind Murphy's Almanac; lie had not time to ascertain
whether it was right or wrong : but he knew this much that
Murphy of St. Pancras was right in supporting the friend
of the people.—( Cries of " Off, off," intermingled by cheers.)
Tim man who was crying " Off, off," was doubtful whether
the wet would do him good or harm ; but he (Mr. Murphy)
would recommend him to go to Paddington, and he would find
the sort of soup Mr. Evart gave the poor.—( Laughter.) If
Mr. Ewart was honest in his declaration, why did he not
stand up in his place in the House and protest against Pad-
dington being placed under the Poor-law Commissioners ?
Why had he not supported Sir Samuel Whalley, when he
and his parishioners thrust out the Poor-law Commissioners ?
—(Hear, hear.) He would give them another history
of the Whig-Radicals. There was a Club in London
called the Reform Club, and:in that Club there were Whigs
and Whig Radicals. Six members of that Club voted at the
last election for Lord Teignmouth, but not one of them voted for
the Radical candidate. Two of its members plumped for
Lord Teignmouth, and that club of Whigs and Whig Radicals
mere willing to turn out the two men who had plumped
for Lord Teignmouth, hut they would not turn out the other four
who had split for Lord Teignmouth and a Whig. The ob-
ject of Mr. Ewart was to make the borough a nomination
borough for the Tories and Whigs ; but if the electors did
their duty on the present occasion, they would have two Radi-
cals to represent them in Parliament shortly.—( Loud cheer-
ing, and a cry of " Tory Murphy.") A Man had called out
Tory Murphy, and lie should like that man to come forward,
and show a:single instance in his political life in which he had
not denounced both Whigs and Tories as two base factions who
had been deluding the people. He called upon them to sup-
port the Radical Candidate, who would endeavour to effect a
repeal of the Poor Law Amendment Act. Mr. Ewart told
them that he was the advocate for Household Suffrage, but
was not the industrious working man who lived in lodgings as
well qualified to vote as the man who happened to keep a
house ? Did the possession of a house give a man intellect ?
Let them look at Mr. Ewart, and it would answer the ques-
tion.—( Great laughter.) They had heard lately something
about phrenology—let them examine the head of Col.
Thompson when he came before them, and compare it
with that of Mr. Ewart, and if any of them knew
where the bump of duplicity was they would be sure
to find it in Mr. Eivart's head.—(Loud laughter.)
It was a subject of satisfaction to him to propose for their
adoption a man who was the friend of all mankind, as he had
Leen described by his late constituents at Ilull.—( Cries of
He's a soldier.") Yes, he was a soldier, and one who had
the courage in the House of Commons to move a resolution
which would have had the effect of doing away with all the
abuses in the Army—he was a man who had protested against
flogging in the Army—who had voted against the impress-
ment of seamen—and who had honestly and zealously dis-
charged his duties, being in constant communication with his
constituents, because he had nothing to conceal from them.
He now told them to beware of the Tories—to beware of the
Whigs—to beware of the sham-Radicals—to recollect his vote
when he first went into Parliament. Mr. Ewart was a false
deluder of the people—he was a man whom the Electors
should reject, and with him reject Lord Teignmouth too.—
( Cheers.) Did they recollect the Calthorp-street affair ?
Who did that but the Whigs, and Mr. Ewart supported them.
The Dorchester labourers were the victims of Whig oppres-
sion.—( Cheers.) He hated both Tories and Whigs—down
with both, and up with the Radicals. —( Immense cheering.)
He begged now to second the nomination of Colonel Thomp-
son, an honest, firm, determined Radical and the supporter of
the people's right.—(Great cheering.
11. 'l'. Hors, Esq., M. P. for Gloucester, appeared for the
purpose of nominating as a candidate at this election Lord
Teignmouth.—(Cheering and disapprobation.) In doing tlas
—(Great interruption, which continued for several minutes )
He was sorry to he obliged to prolong the time—they might
be more interested in hearing other speakers, but he would
wait patiently until they heard the few words which he hail to
say.—(Chaers. ) He certainly should not follow the ex-
ample of the speakers who had gone before him,
in saying anything against the character of either of the
rival Candidates, who solicited their suffrages in preference to
Lord Teignmouth.—(Hear, hear.) He knew that in pro-
posing that Nobleman as a Caddidate for their suffrages—
(Great uproar). Unless they gave him a patient hearing he
should feel it his duty to detain them longer than he intended
to do.—( Cries of "Go on.") hi proposing Lord Teign-
mouth as a Candidate for their suffrages, he felt confident that

he was doing that which would be- a benefit to every lover
of his country, and that the electors who would return
him would confer a benefit on themselves which would
never leave them.—(Groans.) When he told them that dur-
ing his whole life Lord Teignmouth had been a resident in
this borough—that in every act of public duty—in every act
of public charity—in every act where the benefit of his coun-
trymen and his fellow citizens was to be consulted, whether in
masses or as individuals, that Noble Lord had always been
foremost,—let the electors then return him to Parliament,
and judge what his public acts would be, by what his private acts
had been—words were nothing. They must judge of a man as
they saw him ; and if they knew him to be a talented, indus-
trious man in the cause of the public, let them choose that
man, and believe that he would do credit to them in Parlia-
ment. He pledged himself that Lord Teignmouth was such
a man. If they returned him to-morrow, as he believed they
would—( Cries of " No, no")—he pledged himself that the
Noble Lord would do them credit—that they would always
find him foremost in the cause of charity—always find him
foremost in doing away the abuses of which they complained.
lie felt confident that in spite of so many friends around him
boing a little noisy, the greatest good humour would prevail
F. this election, and above all things he felt certain that the
independent electors of the borough would early to-morrow
return Lord Teignmouth—would determine to submit to any
domination, whether it came from parties having the names of
liberty and reform in their mouths—or whether it came from
other parties. He concluded by proposing, as a fit and proper
person to represent them in Parliament, Lord Teignmouth.—
( Cheers and great confusion.)
Mr. PAINTER seconded the nomination of Lord Teign-
mouth. After eulogising at some length the British Con-
stitution, Mr. Painter said that Lord Teignmouth came for-
ward as a resident in the borough as a candidate to represent
them in Parliament. Attached as he was to the Consti-
tution of the land he would remove all proved abuses.—
His life was passed
.in philanthrophy and benevolence.
With regard to the opinions of his political opponents, he
would call the attention of the electors to them. Were their
opponents not opposed to the second branch of the Legisla-
ture ?—(Clieers:) Would they- not overthrow that?—
(Cheers, and cries of ‘‘ They deserve it.") In stating that,
he spoke particularly with reference to Mr. Ewart. Was he
not for the overthrow of the Established Church ?—( Cheers.)
