THE ELECTIONS.

LINDSEY NOMINATION.
(BY EXPRESS.)
Not less than ten thousand freeholders assembled in
the Castle Yard this day (Monday). Lord Worsley
surpassed himself in a powerful, clear, and manly
speech, which was listened to with the utmost attention,
and made a deep impression on all the yeomanry pre-
sent. His " Conservative " opponents, Messrs. Chris-
topher and Cust, were lamentabiy in the back-ground ;
the former saying little, and that little of the weakest
and tamest description, and the latter still less ; in good
truth, literally nothing. Whatever may be the pre-
tensions and talent of the juvenile scion of the house
of Belton in the Horse Guards, on the hustings he
is assuredly not at home. Never in the whole course
of our experience (and in our time we have seen many
a pitiful exhibition) did we witness such a miserable
specimen of would-be senatorial oratory. Talk of Mr.
Dawney, he is eloquence and wisdom itself contrasted
with the Honourable Charles Henry Cust. Many farmers,
who had been deluded by the gross misrepresentations
recently circulated by Tory dealers in lies, disgusted
with the exhibition of Cust,sand delighted with his Lord-
ships' manly, clear, and consistent speech, have now
come forward and avowed themselves his warm sup-
porters. On a show of hands, the majorty was at least
ten to one in favour of Worsley and Reform.

SOUTH LINCOLNSHIRE.
BY EXPRESS.

At the nomination for Lindsey, on the hustings, this
morning, Sir W. A. Ingilby, Bart., after characterising
Henry Handley, Esq., late M.P. for Kesteven (the best
member that ever sat in Parliament), announced his
determination to nominate that gentleman on Wednesday
next, at Sleaford, in opposition to the dictatorial attempts
of Charles Chaplin, Esq., of Blankney, to foist upon " the
free and independent electors " two Conservative repre-
sentatives in the persons of Christopher Turner, Esq.,
and Sir John Trollope, Bart. The object of the Tories
in this proceeding is manifest. Sir Robert Peel
is doubtless at the bottom of it, Lord Brownloiv, by the
will of Sir Abraham Hume, being prohibited from in-
heriting certain lands, excepting on condition of his being
elevated to a Marquisate; and having no chance under a
Whig Administration, is doubly anxious to establish a
Tory reign. Lord Willoughby de Eresby, too, has
joined in this most disinterested opposition, in the hope
of being created Duke of Ancaster. And has not Charles
Chaplin an eye to the title of " Baron of Blankney

COLERAINE.—E. Litton, Esq., elected.
SOUTH NORTHUMBERLAND.—M. Bell, Esq., and
S. Ogle, Esq., elected.
I3UCKINGHAMSHIRE.—A fifth candidate started, H.
M. Vane, Esq. Polling days Bth and 9th July.
EAST CUMBERLAND.—PoIIing days tith and 9th July.
Candidates—Mr. Howard, Mr. James, and Capt. Stephenson.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

GLOBE.—We are far from " rejoicing," as is charged
upon us by the Tory organs, at this deficiency in the na-
tional finances ; but we do appeal to it as affording indis-
putable proof of the necessity of a complete revision of
our fiscal system. Taxation has reached its utmost
limit of productiveness. Fresh impositions will but in-
crease the sufferings of the people, without adding to the
national resources., Distress and discontent will settle
down into confirmed disaffection to Government, by
whomsoever administered ; and lead to the deplorable
consequences which such a state of feeling has inva-
riably produced. The measures of the Government
would have increased the revenue, and thus gradually,
but certainly, have provided for the deficiency, without
adding to the burden of taxation : they would have re-
lieved trade and commerce from the restrictions which
fetter its operations, and would thus have improved the
condition of the population, by increasing the demand for
their labour.TheTories, by successfullycounteracting these
essential changes in our fiscal and commercial policy, are
about to make the dangerous experiment of laying addi-
tional taxation on a people, already forced to the utmost
verge of endurance by want of employment, and conse-
quent privation and suffering, without holding out to
them the slightest hope of a change in the system which
has involved them in these calamities. So far from
" rejoicing" in the prospect of these calamities, we sin-
cerely and deeply deplore the certainty of their inflic-
tion. But, seeing their approach, we hold it to be a part,
though a painful part, of our public duty, to warn the
country of tilo disasters which seem to threaten it.

COURIER.—We have now before us the complete re-
turns from the cities and boroughs in England and Wales,
and upon the balance of the whole these show a gain of
eight seats to the Conservatives. This is a great and gra-
tifying proof of Conservative strength among consti-
tuencies heretofore so remarkable for Whig-Radical
tendencies, and, consequently, so liable to be led away
by the artfully concocted delusions to which Ministers
had had such frequent recourse in their desperate extre-
mity.:The counties are now about to exhibit their strength;
the result is certain ; Sir Robert Peel will receive an
accession of strength from the English counties against
which the combined forces of Whigs and Radicals will
be utterly powerless. A prescience of this fact is be-
coming painfully perceptible to the Ministerial journals.
We yesterday disposed of the pseudo prophetic warnings
and threatening menaces addressed by these self-con-
stituted advisers to the great Conservative leader,
who may now be considered the Prime Minis-
ter of England ; we then showed the fallacy of
the grounds on which their croaking ratiocinations
were avowedly based. To return to the demolition of
these fictions or to those prophecies which the rage and
rancour of faction alone inspire would be " twice to slay
the slain." It is, we know, the privilege of the "bea-
ten" to grumble and complain, and has ever been a habit
with the vanquished to seek consolation for their present
disasters in the anticipation of a similar fate for the vic-
torious ; but we marvel much at the hardihood which
continues to give forth to the world its prophetic ravings,
after the whole course of events had falsified former pre-
dictions and proved to the world that it is not the blind
and malignant spirit of party that can either foresee or
interpret the shadows of " coming events." Really we
should be curious to learn by what factious manoeuvre,
by what process of infernal magic, the shattered remains
of Whig-Radicalism, the " reliquias Danauni," can hope
to thwart (to displace it is beyond hope) Sir Robert
Peel's Government, commanding, as it undoubtedly will,
a majority of over fifty in the new Parliament. We
readily admit that the Right Hon. Baronet is no match
for his opponents in that quality of adhesiveness which
sticks to place without power ; or of that endurance
which survives defeat and patiently submits to disgrace.
STANDARD.—The county elections have be&un
well ; but they must proceed well if the agriculturists
are to be saved. The enemies of British agricultur3
dare to calculate upon retaining thirty county sea;
—if they retain one, the disgrace of those to whom
they shall owe it will be signal. The farmer who
shall, upon any consideration, vote for the supporter of
a " New Poor-law" and Anti-Corn-law Ministry will
well deserve the mercies of the union workhouse to
which, to the extent of his power, he will consign him-
self and his family. Let the propositions of the Anti-
Corn-law League, practically adopted by her Majesty's
Ministers, be circulated in every county—not in gar-
bled extracts, as passages from the Quarterly Review
and the Standard have been circulated in great towns
and boroughs—but in their complete form. Let these
propositions be universally circulated through counties
and country villages, and farmers will see what they
have to anticipate from a neglect of their duty on the
present trial. We want nothing but the promulgation
of the truth, and the whole truth, to ensure a full
success. It has been reproached against this journal
by some respectable Contemporaries, the Manchester
Chronicle, for example, that we have injured the
cause of Conservatism in the manufacturing dis-
tricts, by an " ill-judged " publication of facts and
opinions. We confess the truth, that we may,
by the freedom with which we have spoken, have in some
degree furnished the enemy with arms. But this was una-
voidable. It is the duty of all who presume to address the
public to speak of all useful truths without reserve on the
score of party convenience. The maxim of Fonte-
nelle, that truth must not be let out by the handful,
respects the interest of those who are to receive it, not
the interest of those by whom it is to be dispensed.
And no truth can be more usefully dispensed both at
home and abroad than this, that the greatness of
Great Britain does not depend upon manufactures or
foreign trade in manufactured goods, but upon the
prosperity of her maritime commerce, and above all,
upon the prosperity of her agriculture. This is the
spring-head of all her strength and affluence, the source
of the national greatness is thus now committed to the
care of those who have a vital domestic interest in its
preservation—will they prove faithful to the sacred trust?
We cannot doubt that they will.
