THE CORDIAL BALM of YtiItIUU.IVI
is intended to relieve those persons who, by an immo-
derate indulgence of their passions, have ruined their constitu-
tion, or, on their way to the consummation of that deplorable
state, are affected with any of those previous symptoms that
betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous sys•
tern, obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, exc .sses, irregu-
larity, obstructions of certain evacuations, weakness, total im-
potency, barrenness, &c. But the relief administered is not
confined to these alone. The valetudinarian by birth, who has
received from his parents the inheritance of a diseased and un-.
prolific frame; the delicate female, whom an immured and in-
active life, together with the immoderate use of tea and other
weak and watery aliments, has, Without any fault of hers,
brought on all the calamitous symptoms of a consumptive
habit, and is, without timely assistance, sinking into an un-
timely grave. Constitutions felaxed., weak, or decayed, in men
or women, are under the immediate influence of this restorative.
Old coughs, a:tlimas, and consumptive habits are soon relieved,
and speedily curet. Poverty of blood and emaciated limbs will.
ere long, meet the happiest change . the chill, watery fluid will
oeeome rich and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with flesh,
firm and beautiful, It is remarkable for its efficacy in all dis-
orders of the digestive organs, and is especially recommended
to those who,
from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of
studious application,
or a life of pleasure, have fallen into a
despondent state of mind, and that distressing train of symp-
toms commonly denominated the nervous. In such persons the
mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal powers, and to
them a remedy that acts with efficacy, without interfering with
domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable.

NOTTINGHAM ELECTION.
NOMINATION OF THE CANDIDATES.

NOTTINGHAM, MONDAY.--TiliS day the nomination of the
Candidates took place in the large room of the Exchange, a
fine building erected on one side of the Market-place.
About a quarter before ten o'clock, Mr-Larpent, accom-
panied by Lord Rancliffe, Colonel Wyldman, Mr. Close, and
attended by a long train of friends, appeared upon the hus-
tings. He seemed in excellent health and spirits, and was
plainly confident of success. Shortly afterwards the doors
were opened, and the public admitted. Mr. Walter and his
triends appeared at the same time on the hustings. I
observed upon the blue party coming in, that a fight was
immediately commenced. I was at a loss for some time to
discover the object, but I perceived it was to gain the side of
the room where Mr. Walter was seated. At length silence
was obtained, and the proclamation for the election was read.
During the day the greatest disposition mas exhibited by the
Liberal party to give a fair hearin,g to Mr. Walter - and his
friend=, but there seemed to be from the first the resolution
adopted by the Chartists and Tories to hear, if it were possible,
nothing that might be said by those to whom they were opposed.
The MAYOR, S. M. B. Pigott, Esq., M.D., came forward.
and attempted, to address the assembly. His efforts were ren-
dered abortive, and the proclamation and other preliminary
matters passed off in dumb show.
WM. ROWORTH, Esq., the late Mayor. at length presented
himself. He was not there to propose Mr. Walter as a Tory.
—(Cries of " Oh, oh," and cheers.) He did not know
whether Mr. Walter was a Tory or not.—( Laughter.) He
was there to propose Mr. Walter as the poor man's friend,
and such he would continue to be. A great deal had been
said about the discontented classes, and that in sup-
porting Mr. Walter they were supporting them. What
was, he asked, separating the poor from the rich—(Cries from
the .Chartists " the Wings")—but the starvation caused by
that Bill that was drivitc the Englishman irem his fire side
into the workhouse ?—( Cheers. ) Ile proposed John Walter,
Esq., as a fit and proper person to represent the borough in
Parliament.

Mr. CHARLTON, of Chillwell, seconded the nomination.

Lord RANCLIFFE here presented himself, and was greeted
with loud whistling from the Tory party. He was heard to say
he was for Annual Parliaments, Vote by Ballot, and doing
away with the accursed Corn-laws —(The shouts and groans
of the Tories made the Noble Lord utterly inaudible.) He
was understood as proposing Mr. Larpent.
Here a boxing-match commenced between some of the
champions of the two parties. It appeared' to us as if the
Blues had got the worst of it, and there was comparative quiet
for a few minutes.

FRANCIS HosTE, Esq. seconded the nomination of Mr.
Larpent.

_ .
Mr. WALTER presented himself amidst cheers from the
Tories and Chartists and hisses from the opposite party.
Silence having in some degree been obtained, he said—Upon
the subject of the Corn-law he had declared himself in favour
of a change, but not a change which would prevent the agri-
cultural interest from paying their labourers. The change
which he advocated was one which would assist in obtaining
for them the means of supporting their labourers and depen-
dents, and it might be adopted without injury to either. ,
With respect to the Ballot his opponent had observed, " he
would support the Ballot if no other mode could be adopted
for securing to the voter the free exercise of his opinions."
He was surprised that any man should have the hardihood to
recommend a system which was yearly sinking into disgrace--
the frauds of which were displayed in the late election of Pre-
sident for America. If the Ballot were ever adopted there
would be end to all intercourse between the representative and
the elector. He (Mr. Walter) was a friend to education.
But let them not place the cart before the horse. He should
wish to see the poor clothed and fed; and it was vain to talk
about education until that was done.—(Cheers from the
Chartists.) With respect to the Church, his opponent was
connected with a party who had dealt out heavy blows and
great discouragement upon the Church, and upon Protestant-
ism, and it would puzzle the whole Council of the London
University to make his opponent a friend to the Church, to
which he had assisted in dealing out "heavy blows and discou-
ragement." He ( Mr. Walter) would rather see twenty churches
kept in beauty and repair, than one great iron-seated union
workhouse. —( Immense shouts from the Chartists ) those work-
houses would rise in terror throughout the land, and frown
down the labouring classes of this country.—(Chartist cheers.)
The Whigs had taken off one tax to put on another—they
had taken off the postage, but screwed up the assessed and
window taxes to the utmost. His opponent (Mr. Larpent)
had charged him with changing his views ; but this he de-
nied. He thought there was nothing so ridiculous as
frequent changes, but he (Mr. Walter) had contemplated
a Reform Ministry till he was sick of the whole brood.
There was but one reform that would do the poor any good,
and that the Whigs would noc give them—(" They won't!"
from the Chartists)—full stomachs and plenty of labour ; but
the Whigs gave them a starving dietary and stone walls.
Mr. LARCENY presented himself to the assembly, and
he was instantly assailed with shouts, groans, hisses, and
the whistling of cat-calls by the Chartists and • Tories,
followed by loud cheers from his own friends. It was,
however, plain that his opponents had come to the resolu-
tion that he should not be heard, and in order to take the fol-
lowing report of his speech it was necessary to stand close
beside him. Upon some occasions, so awful was the uproar
that he could not be heard even at the distance of a yard.
Gentlemen, 1 am as great a friend to the poor as Mr. Walter.
—(Hear, hear.) I am, too, a friend to liberal principles ; I'
am a fries to Reform also. What is Mr. Walter.?—(Cheers
and groans" I am; I icnic. a Ref firmer ;my opponent is a
Tory. I avow that lam so; but he does not say so. He
would have you sink al these great differences ; slur over all
those mighty and important principles that separate us from
each other, and let them all sink in the question of the Poor-
law.—( Hea-, hear.) In the course of my canvass, I may say
that my principles have been strengthened, if any addition
could be given to their energy. by finding how much you appre-
ciated the example that was given by your late representative.
In him has been presented to me the accomplished gentleman,'
the enlightened patriot, the consistent po'itician.—( Cheers.)
I have seen that, and I can only say that I will ever be proud
to follow his example.—(Cheers.) And here let me say that
Mr. Walter, my honourable antagonist, has said one thing
which has indeed astonished me, and was well calculated
to amaze you. What ! he is the man who complains of a
change of principles:—he, above all other men, apprehends
such a change in me A more extraordinary charge, from
such an accuser, never came from the lips of man
(Laughter.) Is it not true, I ask you, that Mr. Walter is a
double-faced Tory—that at one time he was a Reformer, and
that at another period he is a Tory ?—( Laughter.) That
here he voted one way—there he voted another ; and that
the vote of to-day was in opposition to that of yesterday ; and
the speech that he made on a Monday was replied to and re-
futed by him on a Tuesday; and he it is that is fearful—nay,
cautions you against any man who may be in his principles a
changeling.—(Laughter.) Mr. Walter then says, that he does
not want to educate men's minds until he has first filled their
bellies; or, to use his expression, "fed their bellies."—(Cheers
from the To-ies ) I say at once,l agree with him—that, too,
is my principle ; and it is mainly to effect that principle that
I wish to repeal the Corn-laws.—(Cries of " Hear, hear,
hear.") My honourable antagonist has said something
which seemed to me to be a disposition on his part to
repudiate his connection with the Times. I can see no reason
why he should repudiate it, for it is a faithful follower of his.
He and the Times change together. When he changes the
Times changes also. Why, then, should he be ashamed of
his connection with it? lie has in it the advantage of com.
mending the aid of gentlemen of very considerable ability, and
who, to serve his purposes, have not at all hesitated to say that
I was a Frenchman. Gentlemen, I appeal to any personal ap-
pearance, am I a French Man ?—(Laughter. ) Gent'emen, I
was born and bred an Englishman. My father was born and
bred an Englishman. My grandfather was born and bred an
Englishman. My great-grandfather, 155 years ago, became
an exile from his native country, because he was made a mar-
tyr in the great cause of religious freedom.—(Cheers.) It
was because he pre'erred his religious liberty to the caprices of
a tyrant that he became an exile. Persecuted by Louis XIV.
he took refuge in this country, which he considered as the re-
fuge of liberty, and it was that which made him .adopt as his
motto —" Where liberty is, there is my country."—(Cheers.)
The ancestor of my friend, Sir S. Remaly. also came to Eng-
land at the same time. I am, also, to tell you that lam not,
in the common acceptation of the word, a mere Whig. I am,
as my Noble Friend has said to you—' a Whig and something
more."—(Hear.) The whole tenor of my life must prove
that I never was, never could be, for the constant confine-
ment of the poor within the walls of a workhouse.—( Hear.) I
have been accused, continued Mr. Larpent, on one paper, of
being a placeman ; I never was a placeman—l never expect to
be a placeman—and what is more, Gentlemen, I never will be
a placeman.—(Cheers. ) 'I he real question between me and
Mr. Walter is this—which I have put upon my word—will
you have a person who votes for the Ballot, or the Times
newspaper? Will you have one who vo'es for an Exten,ion of
the Suffrage, or the Times newspaper? Will you have Par-
liaments shortened, or the Times newspaper? Will you have
the general diffusion of education, or the Times newspaper?
Will you have the most unbounded liberty of conscience, or
the Times newspaper, that has, for the last twenty years
written for, against, advocated and opposed, supported and
denounced, the most extraordinary, extravagant, and antago-
nistical principles ?—( Cheers arid renewed clamour.) lam
prepared to vote for such a modification of the New Poor-law
Bill as shall at once secure the welfare of the poor, and
the interests of the ratepayer : lam one for giving to the
poor man the full value of his labour, and by free trade
of extending the markets in which the articles that he
produces are. consumed, and thus raising the price of his
labour. I would, too, by a Repeal of the Corn-laws—a total
Repeal—give to the poor the full benefit of cheap food; so
that their wives and their children might have an abundant
supply of the great necessary of life.—( Hear. )—I am a friend
to religious liberty, and have too much of the blood of the old
Reformers in me to sanction any impost that could be re-
garded as a tax upon conscience. I would not have Dissen-
ters to pay Church-rates, but I would have the Church sup-
ported out of its own funds, the working clergy provided for,
and'the Church itself maintained out of the proper allocation
and wise management of its own funds.—(Cheers.) I stand,
then, here before you an uncompromising friend to civil and
religious liberty—l am here an advocate for a repeal of the
Corn-laws—l am here a friend to free trade. Which do you
prefer—these principles of mine, that are consistent, or the
variable, changing, vacillating, uncertain, but at present most
Tory principles of my opponent?—(Cheers.)
THOMAS ROBERTS, Jun., Esq., then called for a show of
hands.
For Mr. Walter a large, number in the body of the hall was
held up. For Mr. Larpent nearly the whole of the platform,
a few down the side, and some at the bottom of the hall.
The SHERIFF, amidst loud cheers from the supporters of Mr.
Walter declared the show of hands to have fallen upon him ;
and a pall was demanded for Mr. Larpent, which commences
at eight o'clock to-morrow.

(Prom a Correspondent.)
The clamour excited in this place against the new Poor-law
is most unjust and senseless, for here its stringent enactments
have in no instance been enforced. In the Nottingham Union
there has been no separation of man and wife—no denial of
out-door relief in necessitous cases—no Avant of sufficient
food, clothing, or exercise—no lack of care and attention in
sickness—no neglect of education amongst the children, and
only such a discipline has been observed as is suited to the pre
in -
servation of peace and order such a community of 500 or
600 persons.

HOW TO ACCOMPLISH ALL THAT WE AT
TEMPT.—My rule is deliberately to consider before I com-
mence, whether the thing is practicable. If it be not prac-
ticable, I do not attempt it; if it be practicable, I can ac-
complish it, if I give sufficient plins to it ; and. having be-
vy, I never stop till the thing is done. Hunter.
PROFESSIONS OF HUNIILITY.—Such profes-
sions are the very cream, the very cs9enee of pride ; the
real humble man wishes to be and not to appear so.—St.
Francis.
