THE GEN ERA L ELECTION

(THIS DAY.)

LAMBETH.
NOMINATION OF CANDIDATES.
The nomination of candidates for the borough of
Lambeth took place this day, on Kennington-comtnor.
Shortly after nine o'clock Mr. Pearson, one of the
candidates, accompanied by a numerous retinue of his
supporters, arrived in a long train of carriages in the
neighbourhood of Kennington-common, and having
alighted at their committee-room, proceeded on foot to
the hustings, and took their places accortingly. He was
loudly cheered.
Mr. Hawes was the next to make his appearance ; he
was accompanied by his Excellency Mr. Bancroft, and a
numerous train of supporters, and was received with
mingled cheers and hisses, and cries of " Manchester
wants no bishop," " How is the bishop?" to which Mr.
Hawes good-humouredly remarked " Your money will
not pay for the bishops." Mr. Hawes shortly after-
wards announced that the Liberal 'candidates for the
city of London were upwards of 100 a head at ten
o'clock, an announcement which was received with
tremendous cheers.
At half-past ten Mr. Tennyson D'Eyncourt appeared
on the hustings, and was loudly cheered.
Proclamation for silence having been made, Mr. R.
ONSLOW, the returning officer, proceeded to read the
precept and writ for the election, and the Act for the
prevention of bribery and corruption, with the usual
formalities.
Mr. OsisLow then stood forward, and stated that he
hoped the electors would hear with fairness and calmness
the opinions of all the candidates, and that the election
would be conducted in such a manner as to reflect credit
upon the enlightened constituency of Lambeth.
Mr. REDHEAD then proposed the name of Benjamin
Hawes, jun., Esq., as a fit and proper candidate to re-
present the borough of Lambeth in the Commons House
of Parliament. He had great pleasure in doing so, on
the ground of the past and efficient services he had ren-
dered to the country and to the borough in his place in
Parliament.—(Cries of "No bishops.") And he hoped
that the result of the election would be, that they would
send him again to represent them in the House of Com-
mons.—(Never, never.)
Mr. CORY said that this was the second time he had
had the honour of recommending B. Hawes, Esq., and
he felt assured that in re-electing him they
would return a consistent and honest man.—
(Cries of "Nonsense," hisses, and other marks of
disapprobation.) He would content himself with
seconding his nomination, feeling fully convinced that
his re-election would reflect great honour upon the
borough.--(Cries of " No, no," and great confusion.)
Mr. CHRISTIE proposed Mr. Tennyson D'Eyncourt.
He had been a long and tried friend of the borough, and
had represented it ever since the passing of the Reform
Bill. He asked them now to do as they had always
done, come early to the poll and vote for Tennyson
D'Eyncourt, honesty and integrity.—(Cheers.)
Mr. HARDY seconded the motion. It was now fifteen
years since Mr. D'Eyncourt first came forward to re-
present the borough. ft e would not remind them of the
saerikes made by that gentleman in the cause of liberty,
and in promoting the prosperity of the borough of
Lambeth. He could never imagine that ingratitude
would ever become the attribute of the borough of Lam
both, and he hoped that the time would never
come when consistency would cease to be
a strong recommendation in favour of any
candidates that might be proposed to represent that
borough. He was a Dissenter himself, and he felt
sorry that he differed from many of his brethren on cer-
tain points, but he felt perfectly satisfied to leave his
interests in the hands of Mr. Tennyson D'Eyncourt, and
he must say, he hoped most sincerely that the electors
would place that gentleman at the head of the poll.—
(Cries of " We will," and loud cheers.")
Mr. CORDEROY came forward to propose Mr. Charles
Pearson. They were all aware of the principles of that
gentleman, and many overflowing meetings had ex-
pressed their assent of his principles. The fact of his
being a true Protestant was one reason why he gave
him his warmest support. He said if he was elected he
would oppose the further endowment of Maynooth.—
(Cries of "No endowment at all.") He supported him
also on the great grounds of civil and religious liberty.
for his profound eloquence, his great and varied abili-
ties, and his devotion to the great cause of education.
and civil, religious, political, and commercial freedom
He felt, therefore, the greatest pleasure in proposing
Charles Pearson, Esq., as a fit and proper candidate to
represent the borough of Lambeth.
Mr. DOULTON seconded the nomination. He did so,
because he believed that if elected he would do his ut-
most to promote the best interests of the borough of
Lambeth. Mr. Pearson was an eloquent advocate of
the civil and religious liberties of the people of the coun-
try, and he most sincerely trusted that the electors of
the borough of Lambeth would do their duty by placing
him at the heed of the poll.
Mr. .DANIELS proposed Mr. Gurney as a fit and proper
person to represent Lambeth.
Mr. SHAW seconded the nomination of Mr. Gurney.
The RETURNING OFFICER then asked whether there
were any other candidates to be proposed, and no one ap-
pearing,
Mt.. B. HAWES then presented himself, and was re-
ceived with a storm of hisses, which lasted for some time.
Silence being somewhat restored he said—Gentlemen,
it now becomes my duty, as it is my privilege, to ad-
dress you upon this important occasion first in order of
the candidates who have been presented to you.—
(Hisses.) That privilege has been earned by me through
your approbation and support in previous contested
elections in this borough, and sanctioned as my conduct
has been at part elections, I look 2onfidently to the re-
sult of this for a similar confirmation and approbation.—
(Cheers and hisses.) I cannot commence the proceed-
ings of this day without expressing a strong feeling in
my mind, in which I know you will all concur with me, if
in nothing else, and that is the feeling that, in conduct-
ing this contested election we, among the candidates, and
' you, among the several supporters of each of us, may con-
duct ourselves fairly and as gentlemen one towards the
other.—(Cheers.) It has been my most anxious
wish that the election should be conducted
without that personality and ill-feeling which
so frequently agitates the public mind at elections in
general, and I am glad to find that it has been so con-
ducted, and that the feelings of no person whatever has
been intentionally wounded. I will now proceed to say
in the face of the electors of this large borough, that
having served you many years with industry and fidelity
—(Cries of " No, no," and hisses)—l venture now to
claim the honour and the reward of the due discharge
of those duties, and when I hear the promises of others,
I may fairly refer to my own acts and my own deeds.--
(" How about the new bishops?") I ask you to refer to
any of those great questions—(A voice—" How about
l)uncombe's motion ?")—which affect the great interests
of the country, and say whether I have not faithfully
discharged my duties.—(No, no.) It has been said, and
truly said, that Mr. Pearson has appeared before you at
many public meetings, as he was bound to and no doubt
wished to do, and so have I, for I have never been afraid
to meet the electors of this borough.—(A voice—" We
want principles, not talking,")—in order to explain my
conduct, and to vindicate any part of my conduct,
upon which I might be questioned. (A voice—
" How would you like the cat,' Hawes ?" At
this moment a cat-o'-nine-tails was exhibited on the
hustings by one of the supporters of Mr. Pearson.)
Having, therefore, upon these various occasions to which
I have alluded given you every opportunity in my power
to ask for an explanation of my conduct, and also taken
every opportunity of vindicating myself from the charges
brought against me, I do not feel it now necessary to go
again into those details which I have already done.— ,
(A Voice, " You never did, you always shirked the
question.") I cannot, and lam not going now, in the
face of my constituents, to blink one question or
objection which has been raised. It has been
said that I, representing one of the l-.rgest constituencies
in this kingdom, am disqualified from serving the people
because I serve the Crown.—(Hisses.) I mean to main-
tain—(oh, oh!)—that he who serves the people faith-
fully—(Hisses)—may at the same time most honourably
serve the Crown, and I think that the inetitudons of our
country are never placed upon a safer foundation than
when they who are identified with their maintenance
themselves rest upon the bosom and affections of the people.
(A Voice, " That is all soft soap.") I say that the vindi-
cation of my conduct is to be found in the language of
the poet. I say that I claim to myself the character of
the great warrior described by the poet—(Cheers and
hisses)—who,
"If he rise to station and command,
Rises by open means, and there will stand
On honourable terms—(Hisses)— else retire,
And in himself possess his own desire."

These are the sentiments which I appropriate to my-
self as my guide, and I say this, that if I cannot
discharge my uuty—("You can't do it")—and at the
same time serve the Governmeat—( 'You serve your-
self !")—I wiil then prefer your service to any other
which can be bestowed upon me.—(hisses, and cries of
"soft soap.") I believe you have now before you four
candidates to represent you.—(A Voice—" Two of them
out-and miters.") There is no very marked distinction
between three of us, but there is another gentleman who
appears upon other grounds. I feel bound to say that
my experience and knowledge of the borough of Lam-
beth has never led me to connect success with the
"orange placard " But still even to him, as to all others,
we will deal fairly and lionourably.--(A Voice, "You
don't know him ''') To acoommodat6 you, st 411
