TEE REPRESENTATION OE
SO UT. ILI PION.

SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY EVENING.

A second address to the electors has to-day been issued
by Mr. Edwin James, in which the hon. gentleman
says :

" The meeting of Wednesday last having been ad-
journed, in order that Mr. Weguelin might have the
same opportunity of expressing his political sentiments
which you kindly afforded me, I thought it fair, pend-
ing that adjournment, to suspend my canvass.
" I trust that the electors will appreciate my motives
and approve of the course I have adopted.
" After Tuesday evening I shall have the honour of
paying my personal respects to every elector."
Placards have been issued convening a meeting of the
electors of St. Mary's this evening at the American
Hotel, to consider the respective claims of the three can-
didates—Mr. James, Mr. Weguelin, and Sir Edward
Butler. The pariah of St. Mary occupies more than
half of the town, and comprises within its ,boundaries
p
an immense number of the working men employed in the
docks, the various steam companies, and other large
manufacturing and commercial establi*hments.
But the immediate interest of the whole constituency
is centred in the adjourned meeting to be held at tho
Riding-scheol to-morrow evening at 7 o'clock, at which
both Mr. Weguelin and Mr. James are to be present.
It promises to be the greatest and most exciting assem-
blage ever held in this most excitable borough.
Sir Edward Butler has again been canvassing
all day,
but we believe that both the other candidates returned
to town on Saturday evening.
Tae " Anti-Poor Law Beard League," 0 London,
have addressed the electors calling their attention to
" the importance of requiring from all candidates an
explicit declaration of opinion as to the unconstitutional
authority of the Poor Law Board in affairs •relating to
the poor, and of supporting those only who pledge
themselves to oppose in Parliament the continuance of
its despotic power."
At no election in this borough for the past 2 years
have such strong and powerful feelings been evoked
ot, q,is • ea ion. Liberal sentiments are 50 over-
powering in Southampton that but for the unfortunate
split which at present divides the Liberal party into sec-
tions a Conservative candidate would not have the
smallest possible chance of success,
