LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, MAY 2, 1831.

We direct attention to a letter from our' Stamford
•orrespondent, which will be found in another co-
lumn, on the subject of the electioneering proceed-
Ns in that town. It seems that the Ultra party,
aware that a manly, straight-forward opposition to
the Liberals will be hopeless, have had recourse to
every mean subterfuge, every scandalous manoeuvre,
to ensure the return of their own precious. Member.
lo the first place, they have e reeled hustings on so
confined a scale, with high wooden barricades before
Sad behind-, that not more than three hundred persons
eim possibly see or hear the proceedings of the election
Secondly, they have hired—yes, hired at a certain
tlam per day !—a mob of boxers, tge lowest, most
depraved blackguards in all England, nominally for
the purpose of preserving order, but in reality to
bleak it. These abominable ruffians have already
been sworn in special constables by the MAyon of
Stamford, who, when remonstrated with by Mr,
I'ENNYSON on the subject, had not a word to say
for himself! But we have, and so has the law; and
;
the name of that law, we tell his wooden-headed
Worship, that if by means of these scoundrel con-
ttable, but the slightrsr injury is sustained by even
the
humble s! of his MAJESTY'S subjects, lee himself
shall pay the penal's!, for he himself is the aggressor.
I:bat, hire a gang of pugilists, who exist only by
prealting tl:e law; who thrive only by setting pub-
" order and decorum at defiance; whose whole
Itvej are libels on humanity;—hire vagabonds like
these to keep the peace, and even enable them to act
°fncially as constables ! Was any thing so monstrous
ever heal dof ? But we Ware his Worship to be wise
that be poseible) in season. We warn him to
thee') w.thin the spirit as well as the letter of
I-"v ;to confine him-elf to his own legi-
t,Fate province; or —to beware of the consequences.
hese are not times for fools to show off in. Those
Vtl° have long ears would do well to conceal- them,
like manner, if his Worship has had any voice in
the erection of the hustings, we can assure ti..m
thati here too, he is acting contrary to law. An
e
"Ilan is a public proceeding. It cannot be too
WitklY known, or too generally attended. It is no
harty is no
affair. It is no bole-and-corner meeting.
I:he candidate should be heard by all—be seen
Y all. What, then, is the meaning of these
c°')-board hustings, fit only to represent the stocks
°l' the pillory ? We tell his Worship that the whole
ilth•
•Iness is a paltry borouglimoegering job; a dis-
r"ceful trick, to prevent the popular candidates from
,Ing seen or heard. But it will not do. The
reNtle will see fair play to both Fatties. They will
;silt on Laving the hustings re-erected. They will
"land protection for the honest, independent voters;
leettrity for the lives of kis MAJESTY'S
_subjects ; and
;f
but one blackguard boxer dare but to raise his
dragged
finger against man, woman, or child, be will be
14ggtd to the pump or-the horsepond, and there be
plenteously provided withboard,lodging, and washing
into the bargain.

, So far as they have yet proceeded, the elections
"ave-beeri, with scarcely one exception, in favour
°f. the Reformers. Of those yet in esse, the appear-
"ees are equally chewing. VERNON will carry
I::erbYghire. WILDE is secure for Newark. GUR-
"r and GRANT head the poll at Norwich. The
two last gentlemen have been somewhat unex-
PTeletedlY opposed by SADLER and S r C. WE-
tl lIIIELT.--that same veritable Sir CHARLES who, as
Tires most felicitously observed a few days
" seasons the sober wis lom of Punch with the
at,tle salt of GRIMALDI." Of course the funds for
t
41 frantic opposition are supplied by the joint stock-
Purse of the boroughmongers, who, despairing of
sue, es% are resolved at least to %%real( a glorious, a
I:4oanimous vengeance on the persons of the liberal
littrididates. The idea is eminently worthy of the
elids and hearts of those with whom it originated.
1, We need not assure our readers that th's drivel-
°Pposition will fail. The boroughmongers are
thew Par at Norwich, as in every other quarter of
4) kingdom. Messrs. GRANT and GURNEY are
ale
secure in their election. Not even the taw-
pry trash _
1 SADLER, nor the monkey antics of that
n 0
pnee of buffoons, WETHERELL, will now have
ewee to oust them. With regard to this last gen-
a Lb") if his ambition still incline him to figure as
he"enator, we would recommend him, when the
fo I'4M Bill is t atried, to put up as candidate
it:s the Finsbury district. He will then have
ti °PPortunity of publicly exhibiting on the bus-
at Smithfield—the site of that classic fa'r, from
°4 congenial showmen his action seems to have
ti "'edits exuberance, and his intellect its inspira-
-11l". We have little doubt of his success in thisa
4tt". He will find supporters in every booth;
ti:°eates in every dwarf and giant. RICHARDSON,
e; head showman, will propose him, and the Fire-
et will second the nomination.

44, e copy from that spirited journal, the Not ling-
otie4lvercury, the following seasonable address:--
4, beg EHOLDERS of the COUNTY of NOTTINGHAM.
tpnrta„' 'tits important crisis to suggest to you, a step of vital
Oty (7e to the welfare of this kingdom in general, and of the
4te,,,,.._ft Nottingham in particular ; it is, that, a requisition be
ti°the to the High Sheriff, to call a meeting of the county,
the to tt.".l)o‘ se of considering the propriety of presenting a eeti-
Iliitt,4ll .10st Gracious Majesty, praying him to dismiss from
fiatra,, ,°,4 of Lord Lieutenant of the county of Nottingham,

Your most obedient
Nseysain,tes:
dici lag can be more seasonable, nothing more ju-

Thelitlrehority ? By what tenure does he bold it ?
quire,,e .are points that should be minutely in-

prnib„ These are questions to which the
givene.test and most satisfactory answers should be

sLtio-it'ear to the Legislature, that wherever a
