you have done it"). He did not, however, approve of that
Gentleman's political prineireles.—{" Teen why would
you have supported him ?") He alluded to his
tiaancial knowledge ashirh he c beneficial
to the country. He (Sir S. Whalley) stood forever,' not
solely his own advocate, but the advocate of those who
ha I nobly supported him at the last elect;on, and who
ha I calls I upon him to come forward on the present oc-
c:sion. On the last election he was honoured by
Cie support of 2.165 votes, without giving tine shill-
ing to any person, and five.sivhs of which numser were
ulsolieited.—(Cheers.) His station, then, he felt a
prouder one than either of the other candidates. He now
wished to remark upon a circumstance, as he had been
publicly called upon to resign his pretensioos in favour of
another candidate, and although he should be obliged to
a leen to the other candidates, ho would do so
with all the propr and fitting respect due to them.
F,rat, with regard to the gentleman in whose behalf he
had beea called upon to resign his pretensions; nam ly,
Mr. Murray.—(His•es.)
No doubt Mr. Murray was a
gentleman of estimable character, but
he had nit as he
(Sir S. W.) had done, fought for the pro-ection of their
rights, therefore he did not feel himself calved upon to
resign his pretensions in favour of that gentleman.
11. would now advei t to Mr. Hope.--(llisses.) Could
they elect that gent'eman who had voted against the Re-
f ,rm Bill, which he denounced as revolutionary, and
whose opposition was particularly direc(ed to the clause
by which the electors were now met to choose a repre•en.
tative ?--(No, no, and lout cheers.) lie could not
,olieve that Mr. Hope or his party would
now come forward and admit that there op-
poition was a misconception and an error. Any
man who voted for Mr. Hope must be prepared
to petition for a repeal of that Bill. He would
not, however, believe that any of the electors who
supported that measure so strongly were prepared
to do that. He, however, saw on the committee
of that gentlenan, a long list of the Lord Johns and Lord
Charleses, a great portion of whom were in no way can.
beeted with the borough of Marylehone, and as well might
he (S r S. W.) go into the City of London and dictate to
the citizens whom they should choose for e representative
as that those persona should dictate to the borough
of Marylebone.—(Hear, hear, and contioue4 cheering.)
It was unnecessary for him to enter into a discussion of
the measures he hail advocated in vestry, surrounded and
supported as be was by his colleagues on those occasions.
He was assured by a cry from the crowd that they were
satisfi,,d with his conduct, which he supposed they were.
He had been taunted with the way in which he had re-
ceived his title. He would not detain the meeting on so
trifling a subject ; all he would say was, that it had cost
the country nothing, but bad coat himself from 2001. to
300/. in fees. He would infinitely prefer giving it up rather
than lose the confidence of the &lectors whom he ad-
d] essad. If sent to Parliament, lie would never stay
t t inquire from what side or party any particular mea-
sure came; he would only vote for or oppose it on t!,e
ground of public expediency. He trusted be would be
found an advocate for the reduction of all public
grievances—(Hear)--particularly, he would strenuously
advocate the repeal of the house and window t ixes.—
(Bravo, bravo.) He believed that the maintenance of
that tax deprived this barough of the third of the
franchise which it was intended by the Reform Bill to
confer upon it.—(Cries of " What no you say to the Irish
Bill ?) He objected to the establishment of a measure
which would establish a bad principle. He confessed
he would readily give his support to any measure
calculated to protect property and eite.—(Much hooting.)
Ile objected to the institution of coutes,einti el to the
destruction of common law, but he was most happy
in having been assured that certain nmet obnoxious
clauses in the Bill would be tesuch modified.—(Con-
tinued bootinga.) He was confident, however, that the
people of Ireland would conduct themselves in a manner
to render it impresaible to inflict din them so severe an irava-
a
s,on on publicliberty as this Bill threatened. Hr hoped th:re
would be no occasion whatever to call on the Br ash
House of Parliament to carry the powers of sash a 80l into
effect. He thanked them for the attention with which they
hid heard him, and he withdrew amidst the loudest groans
and hisses.
