YOUGHM,.

The Committee met this•morning at eleven o'clock, when Mr. Har-
rison for the sitting Member said it would not be necessary for him to
occupy the time of the Committee with any statement of his client's
case. The course which he had now to take was to go on with objec7
tions to the petitioner's poll until he reduced the number of votes by
two, which would place the sitting member in a majority of one. It
would then be fur the petitioner's council to assail Mr. Howard's votes,

and restore the petitioner to his present majority if they could.
Mr. 'llattaisoN then applied that the vote of John Bro Vb..
Main street, should be struck off the petitioners' poll, en the j

After a long examination of witnesses, and much discussion L
technical points, the vote was struck off, whereby the parties were al
upon a level.

TO THE ELECTORS OF MARYLX-

BONE.

Electors I electors ! come forth to the fight,
To battle for freedom, for justice and right ;
Let Liberty's banner be spread to the wind,
On which are emblazoned the rights of mankind.
Words of fire, which make hated despots to cower,
As they point to the advent that strips them of power,
And despite chains and dungeons, the rack and the sword,
Proclaim that those rights must again be restored.
Electors l electors I the Tories are out,
Their cry is division, and loudly they shout,—
What by fear or by numbers they know would be vain,
By traitors and fraud they now seek to obtain.
111-fated the day when Reformers are found
To each other opposed, while the foe on the ground,
With fiendish delight views a struggle which must
Soon prostrate the cause of Reform in the dust.
Electors ! electors I remember the day
When a Sidmouth bore rule with a vile Castlereagh,
When the hireling was sent to slay in cold blood, -
And Peterloo's field with Reformers was strewed
Then a Hobhouse in Newgate—Burdett in the Tower_
Displayed how the Tories can act when in power.
With the " Six Acts" in force, we scarce dare complain,
And each Tory pants for such dread days again.
Electors I electors I who would not fain see
Each voter come forth uncorrupted and free,
Without bribe or threat, unfettered his voice,
To support at the hustings the man of his choice.
Then who will refuse for Ewart to poll,
When the Ballot appears shining bright on his scroll,
Which ere long will strengthen the popular sway,
And scatter the Tories in fear and dismay.
Electors I electors I will any dispute
That the Septennial Act is of evils the root?
And that Triennial Parliaments would not soon cure,
With Extension of wrongs Suffrage, the we endure ?
Will any admit this, and yet not be found
Recording his vote, while loud cheers resound
For Reform and Ewart, with the brave men who won
The battle of freedom in Marylebone ?
