SIGNAL DEFEAT OF THE LOWTHF,ItS-

TRIUMPH OF REFORM.

(From that spirited Paper the Carlisle Journal.)

This has been a proud week for the independence of
Cumberland—a week never to be forgotten in her annak.
The power of the boroughmongering Lowthers is tottering
to its fall, and ere this Paper reaches the hands of our
more distant readers, we expect it will have received a
blow which will destroy it for ever. They have long
trampled upon our liberties and laughed at our rights,
they treated the people with insolence and scorn—and their
haughtiness is being repaid in the right way—the people
are flinging off their yoke with contempt, and trampling
their power to the dust.
In Carlisle, their chosen stronghold, they were defeated
on Monday and Tuesday last in the most signal manner,
notwithstanding all the exertions they could make, and
the promises of lavish expenditure they had made. The
" moral influence" of the people was irresistible ; and
after polling thirty-five votes, they were compelled to
retire from the field, and two Reform candidates were re-
turned free of expence. We refer to another part of our
Paper for a detail of the proceedings. They talk of peti-
tioning against the return on the ground that there were
disturbances that prevented their voters reaching the poll.
This is the mere swagger of a defeated braggart. We
assert without the fear of honest contradiction, that so
quiet and orderly a contest was never seen in Carlisle.
But when time allows we shall have something snore to
say on this subject.
In the mean time ail the energies of the friends of free- •
dons must he concentrated upon the county, the election
for which is now proceeding at Cockermouth. The first
day's poll displays a most triumphant majority in favour
of the Reform candidates. But this must not induce the
friends of the cause to slacken in their efforts. The
enemy is bold, determined, and careless of consequences.
The freeholders must teach him that his power is gone
and for ever, by flinging him from them by an overwhelm-
ing majority.
Let no man imagine be is doing right by splitting his
vote between Sir James Graham and Lord Lowther. The
time has come when every man who is not with us is
against us. Every vote recorded for Lord Lowther is an
argument in the hands of the horoughmonger against Re-
form ; and he who records such vote is an enemy to all
Reform. His Lordship's present pretence of liberality is
mere humbug ; he will pledge himself to nothing specific,
and must not therefore be trusted. He finds his power
crumbling to pieces, and would save the wrecks by any
trick that folly or knavery can devise.
Freeholders of Cumberland, so far you have done your-
selves immortal honour. But the battle is not yet won.
Hasten to the poll, and show your determination to
rescue your country from the bands of the barough-
mongers. It is they who have taxed and robbed you ; it
is they who have reduced your country from prosperity to
pauperism. Show your detestation of them by voting for
Graham and Blamire.

In Westmoreland the Lowthers have been compelled to
accept, to them, a disgraceful compromise. When Lord
Lowther declined standing, he offered to come to terms
with the Blues. They refused his terms, and he put for-
ward Mr. C. Wilson, of C.sterton. Mr. Crackanthorpe
immediately accepted the offer of the Blues to oppose him;
and the cause was proceeding prosperou•ly, when the Low-
there again offered to compromise ; and the following do •
cument was agreed to :
" WESTMORLAND ELECTION.
" Kendal, May 4, 1531.
" With a view to preserve the peace of the eounty,—it having
been intimated that the proposition of Mr. Nowell, to be one of
the representatives of the county of Westmorland, will be ac-
ceded to,—we, as individuals, still adhere to our intention of
supporting Mr. Nowell, and recommend Mr. Crackanthorpe to
withdraw. "JACOB WAKEFIELD, Kendal,
"JOHN WAKEFIELD, Sedgwick.
" ISAAC WHITWELL, Kendal.
" EDWD. WAKEFIELD, Kendal.
" THOMAS HEELIS, Kendal.
We, the undersigned, recommend Mr Carus Wilson to re-
tire. .‘ GEO. WILSON, Dallam Tower.
"EDWARD WILSON, Abbot Hall.
" DANIEL HARRISON, Kendal."
Mr. Nowell has pledged himself to support the Reform
Bill. We think the Blues have acted foolishly in agreeing
to the terms.

TAMWORTH ELECTION.

(From the Sheffield Mercury.)

The little borough of Tamworth presented a scene of
unusual animation on Monday last, the day of election.
Rumour had been busy with her hundred tongues, and
as usual had circulated a hundred lies; the least of which
was that Mr. Attwood was coming from Birmingham
with ten thousand of the Political Union Members, to
oppose Sir Robert Peel. The streets were all flag'd for
the occasion, and put one strongly in mind of Westminster
Abbey; the different colours of the parties (parti colours,
of course), blazing in the l.onnets, and blushing in the
caps of the fair dames of " lovely Tamworth."
At eleven o'clock the candidates, Lord Charles Towns-
bend and Sir Robert Peel proceeded to the Town-hall,
where all the " beauty and fashion" of the place were
ranged on a sort of inclined plane to receive them.
The Rev. Mr. Rucx, in a " neat and appropriate
speech," proposed Lord Charles Townshend, as a fit per-
son to represent the borough of Tai worth in Parliament.
His LORDSHIP then rose and declared himself a staunch
friend to the good people, his constituents, and to the great
measure of Reform ; he considered the measure would be
of essential benefit to the community, and by no means
dangerous to the Constitution ; there had been some per-
sons who had objected to the extensiveness of the details,
and had made this a ground of opposition to the Ministry
but

If to its share some fiscal errors fall,
Inok in the Bill and you'll forget them all.
It is needless to say that his speech was received with en-
thusiasm by his party, and loudly cheered.
Sir Robert Peel was then nominated by Mr. Tylecote,
and the nomination seconded by Mr. Robinson.
The HON. BARONET then addressed the electors. It
had been but a very short time he said, since he had
the honour to appear before them in that hall,
but during that period very considerable changes had
taken place. Above all, was the universally agitated
question of Reform, on which he and his noble colleague
entertained different opinions. He should state his ob-
jections to the Rill, which were of two sorts, general and
local—his general objections were that he thought Mini-
sters had no right to deprive the lower orders, lower only
as regard wealth, of that right which they had enjoyed
through so many generations—that, as the Constitution
at present stood, there was no class of people, whether
freemen, burgage•holders, housekeepers, or what not,
but were represented in Parliament through the medium
of some town or other; that, if it was thought beneficial
to Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, to increase the number
of their representatives, surely it must he so to England
also ; but instead of augmenting the English return, they
had reduced them very considerably, and thereby les-
sened the influence of the country. It had been said that
the people of Ireland, of Scotland, and of Wales, had
greatly advanced of late years, in wealth, in education, and
political importance ; but, till it could be proved to him
that England had not participated in that progression, he
should ever consent to the partial disfranchisement of the
one, and the extension of the privileges of the others. Ile
had been a close observer of experiments like this in other
countries, but had never known any whose result had been
satisfactory or permanent ; he knew no country which
could vie with Great Britain in the excellence of her in-
stitutions, or the extent of her commerce. He then en-
tered into the local question, the participation of the parish
of Tamworth in the elective franchise of the borough ; and
thought it unjust that of five or six hundred bur-
gesses, who had enjoyed the right of voting from the
time of Elizabeth to the present day, four hundred
should be deprived of that right for ever, and their privi-
leges transferred to the inhabitants of Bonehill, Faze
ley, Comberford, and other places in the neighbour-
hood. Ile had said so much to them in his public
capacity, as a representative of the ancient borough
of Tamworth in Parliament ; he should now address
a few words to them as their neighbour and their
friend. He stood before them now in a very different
situation to that he had the honour to fill when last
amongst them.—(Laughter from the opposition party.)—
A gentleman at the other end of the table had thought
proper to treat that remark with ridicule, but he begged
leave to assure him that he had had too much experience
in the ways of the world to suffer such an interruption
to annoy him ; he declared, that so far from his place
having been a source of emolument to him, be had en-
joyed neither accession of rank nor increase of fortune, but
had unhesitatingly refused both when offered to him. He
was very sorry is perceive that some very scurrilous let-
ters bad been written on occasion of this election impugning
his private character. It was very easy, he said, for per-
sons desiring to injure another, to pry into domestic affairs,
and so to misrepresent circumstances as to give their ca.
luinnies an air of truth. He thanked God, however, that
he had never given the slightest provocation for such das-
tardly attacks, and felt convinced that neither his Noble
Colleague, nor any of those gentlemen who were really
his friends, could or did, for a moment, approve of
such malicious scurrilities. The balls, he said, seemed to
be fired from London, but he believed that they that had
lighted the match might be found much nearer home. For
his own part, he cared not a farthing for their slanders,
which, if injurious at all, would be to their own party—.

'^‘
and his constant advice to his friends was, " read them
and laugh at them, if you like ; hut, for God's sake, don't
answer them." The Hon. Baronet then recommended
peace and good fellowship to all parties, and sat down
amidst the hearty cheering of his friends.
The usual number of votes having been polled, the
chairs were called ; and, accompanied by their respective
advocates, and fanned by their respective banners, the
Members were paraded through the streets. Handker-
chiefs fluttering, flags streaming, bells ringing, hats wav-
ing, taps running, men bawling, and all the other thou-
sand-and-one concomitants of an election, followed in due
course ; but whether the electors, when they went home
to their wives at night, were enabled to give as clear an
account of Sir Robert Peel's speech and the other inci-
dents of the day as we have done—deponent Faye t h not.
