• NOTTINGTIA..SI ELECTION.
(FRom OUR OW CORRESPONDENT.)
Wenierr.snay.—The verk on both sides speeds Lravely on.
The
writ was received tlieis morning„ and publicly proclaimed.
nomination is to, 'De on Monday next, and the polling on
Tuesday Great my
,fibers of the !nearer classes have declared
la"ur of Mr. alter on the Poor-law question, and he will
no doubt run Mr.
•
trot see much et Larpent hard ; but that he will win, we do
• same as evee :lance. The Radicals of Nottingham are. the
'neuter for a in heart; although they may promise to remain
time, they will on the day of polling rush to the
Thlibl,°°,,th'•• and lecortheir votes for Mr. Larpent, in spite of
'•)' -ay raised about the Peor-liss. In an-wer to a letter
of an
,ctor, who has addressed one to each candidate, the fol-
. ,r
-1, anower has been received from Mr. Larpent
•of 0, If returned to Parliament, will you vote for a total repeal
fie existing Corn-laws ?—Yes.
2. Will you vote for Free Trade?—Yes.
a. Will you vote for the Ballot ?—Yes.
4- Will you vote for any practicable measure proposed for an
•a-'tension of the Suffrage?—Yes.
5. Will you vote for the shortening the duratiwi of Parlia-
Inients
6. Will you vote for a plan of National Education, unfettered
Ity the doctrines of the Church, being made part of the system
t of instruction ? Yes.
'5: Mr. Walter cannot vote for any of these, and he has an-
szt steered so. He will only vote for a fixed duty on corn, and
against ail the other questions. A bill has been published,
t copied from The Sun of Tuesday, showing whtt good the
Whigs had done the country in lessening taxation. This has
to;ldone great good, and no doubt thanks may be given to The
z, Sun for
-s securing us several votes by clearing up misrepre-
,eeotation.
Reports nave gone abroad that have much prejudiced the
Ithr,, tower class; of people against M. Larpent, namely, that he is a
Prenchm an. and kla3 -but lately settled in this country. In
ZverY do ciety th•.! epithet of the " Long-named Frenchman,"
Tthe Fr ench S arpent," and various other names have been used.
o disp el there erroneous inferences the following hand-bill
!‘as Very laudably issued by an elector on Wednesday morn-
g••--"c tatements having been made at a recent public
leeritt.trs that Mr. Larpent is & Frenchman, and his name giv-
' g scrac pretext for such an assort:on I have been at some
pains tr, ascertain the fact, and to learn the origin of this gen-
. 4errear„ I find that not only was Mr. Larpent born and bred
11,t1 E'nelishman, but 'hat his family for four generations have
,75.1 English. 1-lis ancestors were Protestants, and driven
•••' gr-r m Normandy by the Edict ot.• Nantes in l6tus, and took re-
ritge in this country from the persecutions of Louis the
•.u.,ourteenth's tyranny and bigotry. They left their native land
maintain the freedom of their religious opinions."
A catalogue of Mr. Walter's performances in Parliament,
';:,Sllowing that he voted in favour of the corrupt Stafford writ—
i'',.4ainst the Banot—r.gainst the abolition of Church-rates—and
bserkt.on the grea't question of shortening Parliaments—taking
°it the Window Tax—repealing Newspaper duty—repealing
ptennial Act,. &c. This has done much good by showing
E. Walter in his true colours, and stripping him of his pre-
,,, lett borrowed plumes.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
I ,pt the Chartists of Nottingham be reminded that
1" rtes Walter published an abusive attack on the
1,4:e. ;lament for treating Mr. Frost, in the colony to which
kr' .&s sent, as a person superior to a common criminal.
. Walter and the Tories desired to see this popular
, ormpion of the Charter visited with the most extreme
'verities of the law, and now they ail; for the support of
fellow-Chartists, whom they would r'joice to verse-
tute, as they would have persecuted him. In the House
.44 Commons Mr. Walter will scour all connection with
those men be is norq seeking to deceive. He belongs to
Party which never will even acknowledge the grievances
°, the people. His paper has denounced the Ballot, and
bow opposes a Bill to extend the franchise. So that he is
decided opponent to the Charter. He will not repeal
Corn-laws, which lower wages and produce poverty,
",test claims popular favour because be is against the New
'. Poor-law, as if a man could support him who reduces the
`;lkor to starva..ion, and then clamours about what sort of a
orkhouse they shall have. Mr. Walter and the work_
'?house go together, for Toryism in one elms means misery
'ad poverty in another.
Mr. Walter has none of the principles of the Charter.
to everything his opinions differ from it. If to enforce the
1+,.,, barter is to bring happiness to the people, it will abolish
13tiperism. Mr. 'Walter lives upon pauperism, thus he is
4
‘cti-Chattist ; therefore no Chartist can vote for him.
