no man's vote that is not a Repealer. --(Cries of " Hear, hear.")
I do not want any man in Dublin to vote for me without know-
ing that I am a decided enemy to the Corn-laws. I want that
the poor weavers' wives should not be obliged to share the slice
of bread, already too small for their children, with the aristo-
cratic landlord.—(Hear, hear, and cheers. )- I am fin: cheap -
bread, and lam also for cheap sugar, for cheap coffee. I wish
to have everything as cheap as we can get it.—( Hear, and loud
1 cheers.) lam one of those who are anxious for the abolition
of slavery, and I can tell you that free-grown sugar can be
produced much cheaper than from any slave states. If the
plan which I had propesed for the admission of sugar from the
free labour continues, you would have sugar one-third cheaper
than it is at present. let-no man vote for me who is for dear
b-ead let no man vote for me who is for dear
sugar let no man vote for me who is for rear coffee ;
but let every conscientious man who wishes to feed the
hungry, to give means for clothing the naked, for giving ar-
ticles.to all at the cheapest rate, give me his support.—(Hear,
hear, and cheers.) And again, lam for cheap timber.—
(Hear, hear:) Many a respectable man is obliged to pay a
heavy duty for Baltic timber, in order to support a mono-
poly in favour of the Canadas.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) The
Ministry are for taking the duty off Baltic timber— the
Tories, of course, are against it; but I may speak for myself
at least, and I hereby engage myself to vote for taking the duty
off Baltic timber and all other timber whatsoever.-(Cheers. )
I detest taxation, and I will ever make it my practice to strike
off as many taxes as I possibly can. The question now is one
between our Queen on the one hand, and her enemies the
Tosies on the other. The Tories are for dear bread, dear su-
gar, and dear coffee. " Oh," say they, the knaves ! "do
not injure any man's interest." " Nay," say I, " dare not
injure the people of Ireland."—(Cheers.) There is my an-
swer to the monopolists. West and Grogan talk of all they
will dn .for ybu—will they extend the franchise? No—they
.Will they support household suffrage ? No, they won't.
I will do it.—(Cheers.) Will they extend the right of suffrage '
to permanent lodgers ? Ah, believe me, no ; for well I ween
they know how little chance they wouldhave against me if such a
measure were passed. I am, and ever have been, the ad-
vocate of giving.the privilege of voting to every man of unsul-
lied character who may have attained the age of twenty-one
years, provided that he have a fixed local habitation. Every
true Reformer throughout the wide expanse of all England is
for the Ballot. lam for short Parliaments—three years was
the time fixed at the time of the Revolution, and I consider
that it is quite sufficient.—( Cheers ) lam with those who
are foc.the extensien of liberty all over the globe—for the ex..
tension of the franchise—for the protection of tenants from
the persecution of their landlords; and the conferring of the
right of voting on aU honest men.—( Cheers. ) Yes, I pro-
claim it from this spot, in order that all Reformers worthy the
name may 1101.7 rally with me against the combined attack of
the physical force Chartists on the one hand, and the slavish
anil bribing Tories on the other.—(Hear, hear, and cheers. )
Yes, this is, indeed, a noble and a glorious struggle in
Which we are engaged. We have not had the Whigs suffi-
ciently with us heretofore, but they will now be with us
joining issue with the people, and made strong by the irresisti-
ble co-operation of the masses.—( Cheers.) 'the time for the
battle has now indeed arrived—great and glorious objects are
at stake—this is, as the Frenchman said, " only the beginning
of the end." I rejoice in having a heart to be on the side of
the people in such a struggle. We live under a virtuous Queen
—the only Monarch of the House of Brunswick that was a
friend to the people of Ireland.—(Loud cheers.) lam her de-
voted subject, and I will do my duty to her by putting down
factions— making Ireland the securest foundation of the British
throne.—( Cheers. ) It may be said that lam forgetting Irish
manufacture.—(" Hear, hear," and cheers.) Mr. West had
said he was as good a supporter of Irish manufacture as I. If
he was, we never heard of it. For my own part I never wear
anything but Irish manufacture.—( Hear. )
A voice in the gallery—ls your handkerchief Irish manu-
facture ?

Mr. O'CoNNELL—Yes, and my coat, and the man that is in it
too.—( Laughter and cheers.) Succeed er fail, the struggle will
be my reward. lam not looking for office. My Friend (Mr.
Reilly) said I refused the office of Lord Chief Baron one hun-
dred times; that was ninety-nine times too many. —(Laughter. )
I only retused it once, and am the only man who would rio so.
Well, no* my friends, lam going to take my leave of you. I
commenced as a Repealer, and I end a Repealer.—( Tremen-
dous cheeiing.) I have devoted my life to the great struggle
for Ireland's liberty. She was a nation before I was born, and
I trust I shall not go down to my grave till I see her a nation
again.-I(lmmense and most rapturous applause, which lasted
for several minutes. )
Mr. HUTTON next presented himself, and was received with
loud cheers. He had only to turn to his votes to prove that he
had fulfilled every pledge.—(Cheers, and a Tory cry of
" What. Will you do with the repeal ?") He should not shrink
from any question. He was looking to the attempts in Par-
liament to disfranchise the Irish people; he was not (looking
to Lord Stanley's Bill) surprised that there should be a cry
for repeal.—(Loud cheers.) The Trish people had been
goaded into that cry by injustice; but he (Mr. Hutton)
thought justice could be obtained without repeal, and there-
fore he was not a Repealer.—(Loud cheers.) They had heard
of the injury to be apprehended from an alteration of the
Corn-laws. He was of opinion that great service, not injury,
would be the result of a fixed duty—the lower the better.—
( Cheers. )

Mr. WEST next addressed the electors. He began by re-
turning thanks to Mr. O'Connell for the spirit in which he
had commenced the contest. Mr. Hutton had said he did not
wish to be taught by his enemies. He (Mr. West) was sorry
he had used that word, inasmuch as he would much rather be
ranked amongst his friends than his enemies. He (Mr. West)
had been called an Orangeman, Orange West, and exterminat-
ing. Grogan. He had never been an Orangeman in his life.
He had never been• in an Orange Lodge; but the most re-
spectable and the highest men had told him, and had sworn
before a Parliamentary Committee, that there was nothing in
the principles of the Orange system, but complete and de-
voted loyalty to the -Throne, and perfect toleration to all sects.
If such were Orange 'principles he was an Orangeman, but if
Orangeism meant extermination or exclusion, he utterly de-
tested and repudiated it.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. West next pro--
ceeded to advert• to the sugar and timber duties, on which he
spoke at much length.
Mr. GROGAN next addressed the electors.

A show of hands having been called for, the SHERIFF de-
clared that it was in favour of Messrs. O'Connell and Hutton.
A poll was then demanded on behalf of the other candidates,
and the Court adjourned until Tillie o'clock to morrow morning.
The people. then separated in the most perfect good order.

SOUTH . DURHAM.--.Tuesday, the 6th instant, being the
day of nomination of candidates to represent this division of
the county in Parliament, Darlington, at an early hour, pre-
sented a gay. and animated appearance. Mr. Bowes first en-
tered, the town with.a large escort of yeomanry and electors
about ten o'clock, and was soon afterwards followed by Lord
Harry Vane and: Mr. Fairer, the Tory candidate. Soon
after :eleven o'clock the Undersheriffi Mr. Woolled, took his
place on the hustings, when the usual precept, oaths and pro-
clamations were read and taken by the officials. The Under-
sheriff then called upon any gentleman who had any candidate
to propose to represent them in Parliament.
H. T. M. WiTtlast, Esq., of Lackington, proposed, and
JOSEPH PEASE, Esq., oneot the late Members, seconded John
Bowes, Esq.
JOHN ALLAN, Esq., of Blackwell, then proposed, and
GEORGE StLvEitTor,.Esq., seconded .Lord Harry Vane.
And M., FOWLER, Esq., of Preston, proposed, and D.
Mac LEAN, Esq., of Witton Castle, seconded Mr. Farrer, the
Tory candidate, and on a show of hands it was declared to be
in favour of Mr. Bowes and Lord Harry Vane, when Mr. Far-
rer demanded a poll. The polling days are fixed for F, i lay
and Saturday,next, when. we hope Mr. Farrer will meet with
a similar defeat.

CAITHNESS-SHIRE.-Sir George Sinclair having fairly
abandoned the field, Mr. Trail, the Liberal candidate, will on
Thursday be elected without opposition.

Glasgow ChrOnicle of Monday (2d edition). We learn from

tioned against.
