Mr. W. H. TAYLOR Seconded the nomination.

Mr. ROBERTS said that he felt great pleasure in
no►ninating a gentlemen of high excellence, of unde-
viating integrity, and whose public and private attain-
tnents were, he knew, duty estimated in the ward—
Mr. G riffith.—( Hear, hear.)

Mr. CARTER seconded the nomination.
Mr. PERKINS nominated Mr. Cousins, and Mr,
OKEY seconded the nomination.

Mr L. CREN proposed, and Mr. GARDNER scconded
the nemination of Mr. Phillips.
Sir WILLIAM HEYGATE, upon the show of hands,
declared thMt the election fell upon the six old candi.
datc2, and Mr. Bracher and Mr. Griffith.

PHILLIPS said it was quite evident that there
was a Conservative conspiracy against the interests of
the ward, and be hoped that the good sense of the old
inhabitants would defeat it. He wished to know wbc.-
titer the electors were aware of the evil of band-
ing together to make tbe election to a muni-
cipal office political ? If they any doubt
of the evil let thain look at the Kovincial
towns where the franctiisu was considered by the
bitanta as a curse. He saw plainly that a political feel-
ing was operating in the wards, awl he R.bnald on all oc-
casions stand fofward to oppose anything e: the kind.
He was the admirer ofliberal institutions, and he con-
deuir;€4l the attempts titer* made to defeat men of
liberal viesis. As the question fJerame a party ques-
tion, ha sboutti tntse it up in that light He cared not
for the result of the election, but be saw and ;,,nosed
the principle of being at tte mercy of Conservative A.s,,
sociatierig.—(Hear, bear ; and a cry of " Blame Tout
Jones, 'tis his gang," and great laughte?.)
Mr. TA N NEIL, rieezdidate until very lately. here rose,
and ssid that he had withdrawn in consequence of !1-
ing in ill,' canvass strong political feelinc,s opposed to
him ; and that a man must go bound hand and foot to
the Cou-t of Corn= Council. He would not stoop to
that condition.

The queer voice in the earner, "Ah ! its all that
Tout Jones and his gang."—(Letul laughter.) " It's
them that's doing till the mischief."
Mr. BRACHEII—I do assureyou that I shan't ge bound
haul and toot into the Court.

Mr. TANNER—You are not there yet, Mr. Bracher.
—(Great laughter.)
Mr. GRIFFITH said that it was false to state that he
would go bound hand and foot into the Court. He
had not asked for a single vote, nor was it his intention
to ask far one. The support he had the honour of re-
ceiving was completely unsolicited ; and if he was elected,
hands, and feet, and tongue would be as much at liberty
as they were at that moment.—( Hear, and laughter.)
Mr. PERKINS said that the observations of those who
defended political feeling on the occasion, deserved one
comment. At the same time that they condemned all
exertion upon the part of the Conservatives, they never
hinted at the anxious and indefatigable labours of those
who were opposed to the Conservatives.—(Hear.)
A poli was then demanded, and at three o'clock tl e
polling commenced.
At five o'clock the polling was declared to be as
