ST. ALBAN'S ELECTION COM

MITTEE.

The Committee met yesterday at 11 o'clock.
Robert Adams was then sworn ; and the following ques-
tion, according to an arrangement between counsel, was put
to him—" On Monday, the day of nomination, did you see
Dr. Webster, and did he give you any money to vote for Lord
Listowell ? "

The room was then cleared, and the Committee, after some
deliberation, decided that the question could not then be put.
Mr. John Woodyard was called in and sworn—l am a mas-
ter-carpenter living at Hatfield. I went to St. Alban's On
Friday the sth of February last ; I am the leader of a band,
and went to try and get my band engaged. I know the house
of Mr. Meylard • I was there on Friday between five and six ;
Meylard is a clothier. I found when 1 got in, that election
proceedings were going on in the house.
'1 he witness was then asked what he said to Meylard when
he had entered.
Mr. AUSTIN objected to the question, on the ground that
the conversation of a third party could not affect the sitting
Member.
The Committee having decided that the question could not
be put,

Sfr. Woodward's examination was continued—Had a con-
versation with Meylard. Immediately after the conversation
Meylard went into a back room. He returned to me and
spoke to me. Immediately after ',went into the back room, and
found there Mr. Henry Edwards. There were two or three
more with him.

The following question was put to the witness :—Did you
propose to Mr. Edwards to hire your band ?
Cocxnuaii objected to this question on the same
grounds as in the preceding case.
Mr. ITILya an contended that if such a question could not
be jut, it would be impossible in any instance to prove an
agency.

-The- Committee decided that the question could be put.
J. WOODWARD—I proposed to Mr. Edwards to hire my
band. Mr. Edwards asked me how many of the band_wenkl
havavittlealitjiZiiii' I 5aid.44.,10r the three days. He said,
i-,,,,cpsu will coal while I will give you an answer. I
returned in about half an hour after to the same room. Edwards
then said, I have altered my mind from three days to two.
He said he could get men from London for 12s. a day. I told
him to go and get them. I then said, I shall require 201.,
which he engaged to give. He then said yon are to
be over at 8 o'clock on Monday morning. I said I
would, and in consequence I came with my men on that
morning. I went, on arriving, to the White Horse,— i!
where I received Colours,—Orange, Pink, and Red,—
These were the colours of Lord Listowell. We commenced
playing after ten in the quarters we thought best. We played
ti'l evening. I played again on Tuesday. After the polling
on Tuesday I saw Edwards, when he said they were going to
have a chairing ; I then said I should expert something extra
for playing on that occasion. He said he would satisfy me.
I then went to play in front of the Town-hall.
I went round when the chairing took place. We
were in front of the carriage. I afterwards went to Mr.
Muskett's Bank, for Edwards to get my money. I did not
find him at the bank, and in consequence of what was told me
I went after him to the Woolpack. He was not there, and I
left a message for him to meet me at the Crown tap. After I
had been there about half an hour a boy came for me with a
message. I went in consequence of that message to the Woolptek.
I had not a-ranged with Edwards for the additional sum I
was to receive for playing at the chairing. I found at the
Woolpack a person who paid me a certain sum of moaey, but
it was not Edwards.
The witness was then asked whether the man on paying him
the money explained on what account.—The question was ob-
jected to as in the preceding cases.
The room was then cleared ; and the Committee after some
deliberation decided that the question could not be put.
Examination:resumed—The sum paid to me was 25/. I had
nine Hatfield men employed, and three extra men. The 25/.
were pail in notes of Mr. Aluskett's bank. I made no further
application to Mr. Edwards on the subject of the payment.
Edwards now owes me no king on that head. I never received
any payment directly from Edwards.
By the CHAIRMAN —I had never any other account with
Edwards.
Thomas Osborne was then called in and examined.—l have
no particular employment. I was at the last election at St.
Alban's. I acted there voluntarily in favour of Lord Listowell.
lam not a voter. I acted as a checque-clerk on the polling-
day. The cheque-clerk for the other party was Mr. Baker.
1 took down the voters' names as they came up to poll, having a
printed book for the purpose of reference. 1 saw no one
but Baker and myself acting as check-clerks. I made no
extracts from my book, and 1 gave no information as to the
state of the poll during the day. There was another party who
sent off despatches, but I do not know where he got his inform-
ation. Ti.cre was a place set apart for the cheque-clerks. I
walked in there in the morning without having any previous
communication with any one. Ido not know where I got the
book I used ; or who was the person who gave
it to me. I believe the bock was given into my
hands in the streets. I had been before at the Crab--
tree, where I breakfasted that morning ; I breakfasted
alone. I knew Mr. Henry Edwards, the clerk at Mr.
Muskeit's bank. I think I saw Mr. Edwards on the morning
of the electron on my way from the Crab-tree to the hustings.
I did not receive the book from him. On meeting Mr. Ed-
wards I merely saluted him. I now believe Mr. Thos. Rich-
ardson was the person who sent in the book; I found it at my
house on going home from the Crab-tree, where I breakfasted.
When I said 1 got the book in the street I was mistaken. I
saw Mr Edwards at the George the ~ before the elec-
tion. I did not converse with Mr. Edwards that evening upon
business at any ri.ec. Mr. Edwards had not offered 111:1
the employment of chempie-clerk at the election. I
was employed by no one, and I acted w ithout remunera-
tion. I did not tell any one I was about to act as clerk.
I did not find any person at the polling-booth to act as clerk to
Lord Li-towell. It was supposed that as I had acted volun-
tarily in the same capacity on former occasions, I should un-
dertake the office then also. I acted as clerk on two preced-
ing occasions. I do n'A recollect having had any convenation
with Mr. Blagg since the last election.
_ _ _

The witness was then asked whether he had not told Mr.
Blagg that he had been employed by Mr. Edwards to act
as cheque clerk at the election. _ _

Mr. COCKBU RN objected to the question, on the ground that
a party could not attempt to discredit his own witness.
The Committee derided that the question could not be put.
Mr. V. P. Coleman was then called in and examined by
Mr. Hillyard.—l am a Dissenting Minister at St. Alban's. I
voted at the last election for Mr. Cabbell. I received the letter

I hold in my hand after the vacancy had taken place, on the
Friday befure the election. I know the handwriting of the
signature. It is the handwriting of Henry Edwards, and that
is his signature.
Three other noes were handed to the witness, and he was
asked in his opinion whose was the hand-writing of the signa-
tures ?

11inopliro.n,Abuostrris sbaeildiefthoart
etheretawinittnye.ss should not be asked his
The Committee decided that the question could not be put.
Examination resumed—( The three notes were again handed
to the witness). To the best of my belief two of the notes are
in the handwriting of Mr. Edwards ; of the third I am not sure.
Mr. HILLYARD wished that one of the letters, which were
all, it appeared, to the same purport, and which were in print,
with the signature and direction written by Mr. Edwards,
should be read.

Mr. AUSTIN contended that such a proceeding would be
illegal. If it were permitted it would be for the purpose of
proving the agency of Mr. Edwards. But agency could not
be proved by a statement, a declaration, or an admission. Facts
were necessary to establish such a proof.
The Committee decided that the letter could be read.
The letter to Mr. Coleman was then read. It was as fol-
lows :—" Sir—You are respectfully requested to meet the Earl
of Listowell's Committee at breakfast, at the George Inn, to-
morrow morning, at nine o'clock punctually.—St. Alban's,
9th February."
Mr. John Brooks was then examined by Mr. HILLYARD-
lam a grocer at St. Alban's. I acted as polling clerk at the
booth for Mr. Cabbell. I saw Mr. Edwards in the booth that
morning. I remember Mr. Hardy coming up to vote. Hardy re-
fused when asked, to take the bribery-oath . He left the booth with-
out polling on that occasion. He came back again, and having
taken the oath, voted for Lord Listowell. There was an objec-
tion raised at the time to Hardy's right to vote, and a discus-
sion arose on the subject before the Mayor, who, after having
listened: to statements on both sides, decided that he could vote.
Mr. Edwards spoke on the occasion in favour of Hardy's claim.
Mr. lIILLvAan was proceeding to ask the witness whether
Mr. Edwards used such and such words for the purpose of in-
ducing Hardy to take the oath.
Mr. Ausxtrz objected to the question.
The question was afterwards put as follows :—" Did Ed-
wards address the voter, when he refued to take the oath ?"
Mr. AUSTIN objected to this question, as agency could net
be proved by any mere declaration.
The room was then cleared ' • and, after some deliberation,
the Committee decided that the question could not he put.
Examinati-n continued—There is a person of the name of
Langridge at St. Alban's. Ido not know whether he is a
voter or not. I believe he exerted himself on the part of Lord
Listowell at the late election, but lam not sure. I saw arr.
Langridge come to Mr. Edwards to the booth with
a list which he gave him. There was a man of the
name of Burgess also in the booth at the time. He voted
for Lord Listowell, and was actively engaged in his behalf.
Edwards, Burgess, and Langridge consulted togeth,T, when
Edwards received the list from Langridge. As the voters came
up Edwards used to draw his pen across the list. I believe he
did so to all the voters. I did not see Edwards leave the booth
after that until the election was over. On one occasion I
heard Edwards give directions to a person of the name of
Richard Gutridge to have a voter brought up. The voter's
name was Gregory I frequently during the day saw Edwards
go to the carriage in which the voters for Lord Listowell were
brought to the poll. Edwards thanked these voters who
had voted for Llstowell.-- Throughout the day Edwards took
an active part in the booth. Lord Listowell's band passed by
the booth on one occasion, and created some confusion. The
Mayor spoke to Mr. Edwards on the subject, and the band did
not pass again.
It having been announced that the Speaker was at prayers,
the cross-examination of the witness was deferred until to-
morrow.
The Committee then adjourned.

WALSALL ELECTION COM-

tion and r,-examination of Mr. Patch. Nothing of interest
was elicited, nor was any decision come to.

THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS.

(From the Times.)
Important as the first exposition of the policy conse-
quent upon a change of Government in a powerful and
civilised nation must always be, there never was a time
when such information was of more importance than now ;
and, for this reason, few State papers have possessed so
momentous an interest as that which attaches to the Inau-
gural Address delivered by General Harrison on his in.
stallation as President of the United States.

The part of this document to which the attention of
Englishmen will naturally first be drawn, and which they
will peruse with the most eager and anxious interest, is
that relating to the question of peace or war. General
Harrison announces his determination to pursue a friendly
and pacific policy towards all foreign nations ; adding
that, " Althoagb, of course, not well informed as to the
state of any pending negotiations with any of them, I see in
the personal character of the Sovereigns, as well as in the
mutual interests of our own and of the Governments with
...which our relations are most intimate, a pleasing guarantee
that the harmony so important to the interests of their
subjects, as well as our citizens, will not be interrupted
by the advancement of any claim or pretension upon their
part to which our honour will not permit us to yield."
At the same time be expresses his trust, that " his fel.
low-citizens will not see in his earnest desire to preserve
peace any indication that their rights will ever be sacri-
ficed or the honour of their nation taro:shed by any ad-
mission on the part cf their chef magistrate unworthy of
their former glory.''
The phraseclegy here employed is cautious and diplo-
matic., but not upon that eccount less worthy of the station
which General Harrison occupies. flis calm and digni-
fied tone stands in marked contrast with the insane ravings
of the firebrand report on whie.h.a. toe Fr, -
;went of the United States is alive to the vast stake which
America has in the preservation of peace, and to the
heinous guilt which she would contract by plunging the
civilized world into an unnecessary and unjustifiable war.
He solemnly declares his opinion that no eifferences exist
between the two countri ,s which may not be amicably
settled—nay, more, that no demand will be made by Eng-
land with which America may not honourably comply.
He cannot be ignorant either of the nature of those de-
mands Abell England has made in the case of Mr. M'Leod,
or cf the impossibility of her receding from them ; and
therefore it may be assumed that these demands are such
as, in her President's opinion, America ought to grant.
Ie connexion with th 3 friendly language of this Address,
we are bevy to perceive that before the termination of the
Session of Congress (which ended on the 2d inst ) an
altered tone had begun to prevail in the deliberations of
that body. The Committee of Foreign Relations ap-
pointe 1 by the Senate had investigated the papers con-
nected with the Boundary Question, and reported that it
s-
twi
oars, nwoatsexpedienivtt
rt
ao
tion had been conducted, on the part of Graat Britain,
ing es
et ht
tel emm eut, publicity,erd that th
itirh peaceful, moderate, and equitable views. We trust
atth
et hnee
gqoutei
that this important element of perplexity in our relations
with the United States may henceforth be considered as
disposed of, at least for the present, unless the braggart
independence of Maine should rush upon a piratical war,
in defiance of the. remonstrances of the Federal Govern-
ment—an event which we are not at all disposed to anti.
cipate. _ . .

So far everything eacourTes the hope that peace may,
be suffered to continue. The moral influence of the Pre-
sident's address will of course be felt in every part of the
Union, not excepting the State of New York; and this
influence will not be diminished by the character of those
views of constitutional law and domestic policy with the
exposition of which it is principally occupied. We can-
not, however, conceal from our readers the fact that thole
views (while their discretion and reasonableness, as ap-
plied to the actual circumstances of the United States,
may be regarded an more than doubtful) forbid us to
hope that the accession of the Harrison Government
will prove any fresh security far the peace of the
world, if the local authorities of New York should
repudiate the mild interference of moral persur.
sion. In any country but America such a declara-
tion of the Chief Magistrate as that from which we
have LeJn quoting would be regarded as decisive cf the
questim of peace or war; bet in America, and especially
under the Presidency of General Harrison, it cannot bo
relied upon as any safe criterion of the probable issue of
event,. It is obvious that, unless the central Executive
Government can exercise some power of coercive interpo.
sition in these mwters, the opinion of the most insignificant
functionary upon the immediate theatre cf action may be
of more importance than that of the President of the
United States

The theary of Gcvernment i ropoundcd by General Har-
rison is ultra-dernceratic, and if carried out will reduce
the President to a mere cipher in the Constitution. Con-
sidering that the party to whom he owes his elevation re-
presents the moneyed interest, which supplies the place
of an aristocracy in America (and whose views upon
financial subjects Gt.:Acid' Harrison cordially adopts,
throwing overboard the principles of a metallic currency,
and of a treasury silkiest to the control of the Executive
power), we were scarcely prepared for the extreme deve-
lopemeet of I.beralism which we find in his address. The
new President considers that in the working of the union
of late 3e r 3 there has been a decided tendency to Monar-
chy, arising partly out of defects is the Constitution,
and partly out of the unconstitutional measures of the fac-
tion by which his immediate predecessors in office were
supported. He insists, therefore, upon the necessity of
very strenuous efforts, in order to counteract this suppose I
tendency. by diminishing the power and influence of the
Executive Government. The eligibility of the same indi-
vidusl to a second term of the Presidency—the doc-
trine that the President has a share of the legislative
power—the extent of the patronage intrusted to him—
the dependence of tl e officer at the head of the Ti ea-
sury upon the Executive—the interference of the Execu-
tive with the course of logidation in Congress, are all
enumerated by him as among the seurces of the dangerous
encroachment against which he warns the people. For
himself, he promises thet he will never again become a
candidate for the Presidency, will never use the legisls-
tire veto, never suffer " an officer of the people, compen-
sated for his services cut of their pockets, to become the
pliant instrument of the Executive will," never submit
measures, especially on financial subjects, to the conside-
ration of Congress. He will act in all things as the
agent, not the principal—the servant, not the master."
These announcements certainly do not hold out the pros-
pect of a very strong Government; and without a strong
Government we do not see how the aggressive tendencies
which particular States are apt to manifest towards Great
Britain can ever be effectually repressed.
General Harrison holds the extreme eleory of the in-
dependence and irresponsibility of the separate States
which constitute the Union within their respective juris-
dictions. He is alsrmed at the tendency of the Federal
Government to absorb into itself the reserved powers of the
States, and to establish a consolidated power, " leavir g
to the States only the shadow of that independent ac-
tion for which they so zealously contended, and on the pre-
servation of which they relied as the last hope of liberty."
1 he great objection which he feels to that part of the Con-
stitution which makes the President the sole distributor of
patronage, is its effect in "controlling the free operaions of
the State Governments." He protests against the ex-
ertion of an influence over particular States even by
" organized associations of citizens requiring com-
pliance with their wishes," rererring to the Anti-slavery
agitation. And be lays down the general principles on
which he conceives that the Federal Government ought
to be administered in the following remarkablepassages :
" Our citizens must be content with the exercise of the
powers with which the Constitution clothes them. The
war, and the ultimate destruction of our free institutions.

principles governing a common copartnership. There a
fund of power is to be exercised under the direction of the
joint councils of the allied members, but that which has
been reserved by the individual members is intangible by
the common Government or the individual members com-
posing it. To attempt it finds no support in the principles
of our Constitution." "Experience has abundantly
taught us, that the agitation by citizens of one part of the
Union of a subject not confided to the general Govern-
ment, but exclusively under the guardianship of the local
authorities, is productive of no other consequences than
litterness, alienation, discord, and injury to the very cause
which is intended to be advanced."

It is evident that with these principles General Harrison
cannot interfere to rescue Mr. M'Leod from the assumed
jurisdiction of the State of New York, either before or
after trial, to whatever extremities the authorities of that
State may think proper to proceed, in the (we trust impro-
bable) event of his conviction. Whether upon these prin-
ciples the United States ought not to be considered
as a fraternity of nations united in a league offensive
and defensive against the rest of the world, without
any mutual responsibility or central control, rather
than as a single nation—whether it is possible for the re-
lations of such a body with other members of the family
of Christendom to be established on any fixed or satis-
factory basis—whether such a state of things can be rec3n-
ciled with that code of internation law which has hitherto
governed the intercourse of the civilized world, are ques-
tions which, however existing disputes may terminate, it
will be of the utmost importance for the Governments both
of Europe and of America seriously and solemnly to Con-
sider.
