ELECTION MOVEMENTS.

(most A CORRESPONDENT.)
SALFORD.—The last accounts from this borough
Mr. Brotherton's return as placed beyond a doubt • -aueorlr
Member's canvass is nearly completed, and has been re el
able for its success. Several meetings have been hel
which the declarations of the free-traders have reeerdassie
most enthusiastic expressions of sympathy from 31,1
of the people. At one meeting the Chartists made whonet,
pearance, but were completely put to silence by the: wb°
industrious, and right-thinking artisans of the &Ole :igbt"
seemed unanimous in their determination to pursue one strr;
forward course a agitation in preference to agitating sse
theoretical changes. The Tory candidate, Mr. Garn!t Sad
met with little sympathy in the course of his canvalarger
should he go to the poll, will probably be left in a mineritY
than the supporters of Mr. Broiherton expect. ero,lol
DORSRTSHIRE.—A requisition, signed by 1,400 P
has been presented to Mr. George Bankes (whose offer
ciently marks his political feeling), requesting him I,gef
himself for this county in the room of Mr. Strafe, pelf
who retires. Mr. Bankes has assented, so that there are ,
31P
four candidates in the field, Lord Ashley an,l4
Sturt, two of the present Members, Mr. Ban'!",
time
Mr. R. B. Sheridan, who has been for seufoors'
before the electors as a supporter of her Majesty's
~`"oti taS.
ment ; but, we regret to add, not as a repealer of the °we,
Mr. Sheridan stands a fair chance, but, under the e'
stances, it will be of little consequence how the electicini
goo
though, as they are used to say in Dorsetshire, " the der ssr
self before a Bankes." (No offence, by the way, to lur•
ridan.)
WaaExast.—Mr. Drax, who his, on three previelln-igclirei
sions, so gallantly contested this borough against the fti,ititaa
t.alcraft, again offers his services to the electors, and„tr pres
with a certainty of success. Since the last eiectio.n..° rn'd

has aequired considerable property in the borough, a,e
served .with the highest possible credit to himself t"s
its
portant office of High Sheriff of the county.
a- pub'
has become better acquainted,' personally an dr,,a!l,
licly; with the inhabitants of Wareham, he has
onil
around him a con.tantly increasing circle of frieni's;.cosione
is even stated that many who opposed him on former vc,,eaiv
are now so convinced of his qualificaions for a rig.'
tile, that if they do not lend him th.-ir support !hey

last not oppoFe him in the ensuing contest. Althotle,e re,
Drax's property is' a!most altogei her agricultural, yet tbSi
joice to say that that gentleman has the good sense to se
a change is required in the present system.
