_HE -EQUISITIONISTS AT THE LATE ELEC-
TION.—Strange rumours have reached us that several,
that, indeed, many of the parties who signed the requi-
sition to Sir Joshua Walmsley at the election, voted for
Lord Sandon and Mr. Cresswell when the struggle came.
It is hardly possible to believe that any person, filling a
respectable station in society, should hare been guilty of
such meanness, but the poll-book, published during the
last day or two, tells us in black and white that there
have been such offenders, and who they are. The trea-
chery has been perpetrated by " dirty dogs" who affixed
their names to the requisition that they might bo sure of
some pickings and perquisites, some gain and lucre; by
drawing a third candidate into the field and sc. bringing
on a contest. The brand of public sooru mist be fas-
tened upon such pitiful hunters after peculation as these,
and we will do our best hereafter to immortalize them.
They shall have fame as well as profit. This will be
more than they bargained for, but they must not com-
plain if such deserts, as theirs be somewhat overpaid as
we mete out our reward to them.—Liverpool Chronicle.
AN EVERGREEN.--A» old lady, residing in
Exeter, a short time since eighty-three year s of age,
feeling a pain in her finger, exclaimed, on ri sing from
her easy chair, " Well, if I live to be old, 1 e o believe I
shall be crippled in this finger."—Western ales.
