TAUNTON ELECTION.
(THIS DAY—BY EXPRESS.)
TAUNTON, FRIDAY, TWELVE, NOON.—This morning
was appointed by the returning-officer as the period of
nomination. The Eight Hon. Henry Labouchere,
accompanied by his friends, arrived at the hustings
shortly after eight o'clock, and the usual pre-
liminaries having been gone through, the Right
Honourable Gentleman was proposed by James
Bunter, Esq., as a fit and proper person to represent the
borough of Taunton in Parliament. He took occasion
to advert to the connexion of Mr. Labouchere with the
town, remarking that it had existed for sixteen years,
and that he had had the pleasure of proposiag him as a
candidate ten:times.
T. WIRREN, Esq., seconded the nomination.
No other candidate being proposed, the Hon. Gentle-
man was declared duly elected amidst loud acclamations.
The Right Hon. Henry LABOUCUERE then addressed
the electors as follows—Gentlemen, I have waited to
address you until I was able to do so under that title
and in that situation which I assure you I value beyOnd
any other distinction in public life which it is pos-
sible for me to attain—l mean in the character of
your representative.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, a seat
in Parliament, when conferred by an inde-
dependent and intelligent constituency, is to any
Englishman a matter of just pride—(Hear) ;—but when
conferred under circumstances like those which charac-
., terite the present occasion, I conceive that distinction,
'valuable as it is in itself, greatly enhanced.—(Cheers.)
I do not meet you on this occasion a stranger, nor ad-
dress you now for the tir.t, time. My excellent friend
who proposed me to you, and by whose side I
have aad the satisfaction of standing ever since
I MEM to Taunton, has reminded you that the connexion
between us has now lasted for sixteen years, and that
this is no less than the tenth time on which I have had
to thank you for returning me as your representative
• to the House of Commons.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen,
those sixteen years have not been unproductive of im-
- portent political changes, and they have been marked I
;I.:, by as great and important events as any sixteen
years in the history of this country.—(Hear, hear.) You
have had an opportunity of observing my conduct under
almost every variety of circumstance. I have stood
before you when I belonged to a small and dispirited
minority, and I have stood before you in the capacity in
which I now stand again—as a servant of the Crown
and you have had an opportunity of judging whether
my principles, my conduct, and my language, have ever
varied under either of those circumstances.—(Hear,
hear.) My Hon. Friend has truly told you that the
circumstances of the present election were peculiarly
gratifying to me. In canvassing on this occasion I
found that I have not lost a single old friend, whilst, on
the other hand, I acknowledge the gratification I have
received from the universally kind roception I have met
with, and that, too, in many instances from some who,
from conscientious motives, have hitherto felt it to be
their duty to oppose me.—(Cheers.) Under these cir-
cumstances I may truly say that I shall return to the
House of Commons with increased feelings of
gratitusie and fresh sentiments of pride with
regard to my connexion with your town.—(Loud
cheers.) I shall imitate the example of my friends
who proposed and seconded me, in not addressing you at
any great length; at the same time, however, I feel, that
in accepting this renewal of the solemn trust placed in
my hands, it is due both to you and to myself
that I should make some observations.—(Hear,
hear.) It is now five years since I last adddressed
you as a candidate on these hustings. I was at
that time a Minister of the Crown, but I did
not long remain so. I believe almost the first vote
which the House of Commons came to was fatal to the
existence of that Government, in the ranks of which
I :erred. Without any personal regret, certainly, I
took my leave of office, and retired to do that which to
my personal feeling is a far more agreeable situation,
