AYLESBURY ELECTION.m
the
AYLESBURY, WEDNESDAY, Ara 9.—The town during
d. ay has been r.,markably quiet, and but for the ap •
Pearanee of a number of boys bearing placards, inscribed
" Bethel: for ever," and " Ferrand and Protection," &c., no
person would imagine th 4 a great contest was about to take
Place between the supporters of Free-trade and the friends of
Protection.
Xotwithstanding the apparent want of excitement, there
can be no doubt that a severe struggle is expected, and both
tattles appear confident of success. The general impression,
b° :"Ter, appears to be that the principles of Free• rade will
„_clronnpli.mt, notwithstanding the strenuous exertions
e the Protectionists,
trlenta of the course of the day Mr. Bethell has visited the dis-
ie
Hartwell, Stone, Denton, and HaddeTham, where
w
_believe Lis canvass has been very successful.
:Ir. Ferranti has been employed in canvassing the voters in
"q,,listricts of Risborough and Haddenham.
'ae nomination will take place at eleven o'clock to-mor-
Iv, at the County.hall.
