LOUTH.

The Reformers of this town have done their duty : they
have returned all their men: It is true that of these the
Tories claim two for their own, namely, Mr. Grant Allison and
Mr. Trought ; but it is equally true that the latter has come
in positively pledged to measures of local Reform, and that
the former positively refused to pledge himself to the Tory
party. He is not, therefore their representative, and has been
supported by the Reformers, under the anticipation that he
" is a good man and true." His knowledge and aptitude for
business have recommended him to their choice ; and, know-
ing that he is guiltless of the old system, they aro willing to
try him. He must be convinced that he is indebted fir his
return to the Reformers alone, and therefore they trust thit his
conduct will show that their good opinion of him has not been
undeserved. Mr. R. Paddison withdrew his name from the

nomination list three days before the election, and has offered
himself for the town-clerkship. All persons acknowledge the
preposterous absurdity of placing an inveterate enemy, like
Mr. Lucas, in that office, but the " compensation" makes them
hesitate : they forget the principle at stake when they think
of the cost of enforcing it. What a cunning set of conspira-
tors these town-clerks have been ! They have so contrived
matters that they must either remain, a hateful badge of the
old system upon the fair form of the new one, where they will
be a serious clog to its operation, or they must be converted
into cumbersome pensioners upon the borough. Not one of
the old Corporation is chosen ! Proof infallible of the univer-
sal detestation into which the self-elective system has fallen,
and harbinger of incalculable good to society. May the new
body never forget' that they are now the representatives of the
people !

EYE.
(FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
FRIDAY.—The bright constellation of liberalism is Lord
of the ascendant here, the Great Bear of Corruption and
Toryism being totally, eclipsed- The brute is now fairly
muzzled—his claws are shorn to the quick—his power to
do harm is annihilated—he is prostrate. Since writing the
above, evident symptoms of hydrophobia having appeared,
it has become necessary to chain; him down to the earth to
prevent his dashing himself to pieces—the sight of uniainled
water throws him into the strongest convulsions. We left
them a few hours since at the Oakley Asylum, under the
care of a Tory Baronet, in a state of indescribable agony—
an unique specimen of Corporate iniquity and rabid hide-
ousness.

The Liberals have returned two Reformers to one Tory
that is eight to four, twelve being the whole number of the
Council.

DENBIGH.

The contest for the Town-Council has been triumphant to
the cause of Reform, though the Tories managed to return a
Member at the last election. Nine Reformers and three
Tories constitute the Council ; and Thomas Hughes, Esq. of
Astrad, a staunch and uncompromising Reformer, will be the
Mayor. Mr. Wilson Jones may :et his house in order, as he
will be no longer than the term of the present Parliament the
M. P. for Denbigh.
