HEREFORD ELECTION. •
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Hereford, July 7, 1841.
SIR—We have just gained of glorious victory in favour of
Liberal principles, by ousting our late Tory Member, Mr.
Burr, and seating in his place Mr. W. H. Hobhouse, a gen-
tleman whose name is a sufficient guarantee for the liberality of
his opinions.
'1 he Tories, as you may suppose, were vastly annoyed at
their defeat, and it was immediately whispered abroad that they
intended to punish the independent tradesmen of Hereford by
dealing exclusively with those who had supported Mr. Burr, i
and withdrawing their support from our races, balls, &c.
It was not believed that they intended to carry their threat
into execution, but the whole town has been this morning
astonished by the appearance in the Tory Newspaper (the He-
reford Journal) of the enclosed advertisement. Of the infamy
of this proceeding I need not say one word—it speaks for itself.
I will, nowever, observe, that if the Tories expect, by such a
course as this, to coerce the people of Hereford, -they arc
much mistaken ; they will find that the " spirit of Englishmen'
"
about which they talk so much, is too strong here, and in all
other parts of this kingdom, to submit to such tyranny as this.
The Tories have just succeeded, without a contest, in placing
a supporter of monopoly in the seat lately occupied by that con-
sistent Reformer, Sir R. Price. It is, however, acknowledged
by their own friends that the return made by the Sheriff is
illegal, and they may rest assured that a petition against that
return will be presented to Parliament as soon as it meets. We
shall then see whether the freeholders of Herefordshire will
countenance the purposes of " exclusive dealing."
If any con.cientions Whig still hesitates in giving his sup-
port to the Ballot, let him read this advertisement, and ask
himself whether it be a necessary measure or not ; and let
every honest Conservative consider whether the system of
tyranny here proposed to be exercised, be or be not more
" un-English" than secret voting.
If you can find roo in your Paper for this letter and ad-
vertisement, I beg you will insert them, with any remarks of
your own that you may think praper.
I am, Sir, your's obediently,
A HATER OF TYRANNY.
" HEREFORD CITY ELECTION, 1841.
"The gentry, merchants, and tradesmen of Hereford, and the
landlords and farmers of the county, are respectfully informed
that a poll-book will be published, containing a classification
of the various professions and trades of the voters.
" The landlords and farmers in the county will thus be af-
forded an opportunity of ascertaining the names of those Here-
ford tradesmen, who in the hour of trial, stood by that great
branch of England's" bluhe for wealth—te .Agricu:tural Interest.
True ever !"

TO THE EDIT 01? OF THE SUN.
SIR,—Do pray urge on the friends of Anti-Monopoly the
absolute necessity of using every endeavour to place every well-
wisher to Liberal principles entitled to a vote, either for a
county, city, or borough, upon the list of voters ; there is suffi-
cient 'time to do so before the 20th inst. The Tories have not
a man to put on excepting those who have become entitled
since the last registration— they are . always awake—it is most.
particularly necessary at the present.time, as there is every ap-
pearance that the new Parliament will exist but for one Sess, Dll,
and all persons allowed on the. new revision will be entitled
to vote on any vacancy occitrring after the Ist of November
next. vacant am, Sir, your obedient servant,
Ilfracombe, July 8, 1841. D.
