DUBLIN' MA

so, but recollect you told us that it was to be the Bill, the
whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill.' Now you tell us that it
is to be the Bill, the whole Bill, and a great deal more than
the Bill, and those who supported only the Bill you call Tories
in disguise." IT, continued his Lordship, they got triennial
Parliaments this year, and induced them (the Conservatives)
to go' along with them the next year, those who were only for
triennial Parliaments now would in their turn be designated
Tories in disgrace. .He would entreat them to take care that
they did not, by reforming too much, return to the state of
savages. Savages they had been, they could sometimes
show themselves.—(Loud cheers and laughter, followed by a
voice, " Tithes in Ireland.") He was happy to be questioned
on that point. He had gone, and he would go, as far as Lord
Stanley, and no farther.-- (Hear, hear.) Talk of the tyranny
of a military dictator I Let them look to the tyranny of the
dictator in Ireland. Let them look at the threats held out to
every person voting against him, that he should have a cross-
bones and bloody-head fixed over his door. Was this the dic-
tation they wanted ?—( Cheers, and cries of, " Is that true ?"
Mr. Shepherd answered, " It is ; I have seen the placards.")
Ile evoeld only say further on this subject, that he had sup-
ported the measures which Lord Stanley had proposed.—(A
cry otl, ‘‘ Corporate. Reform.") With regard to that subject,
until he saw mere of the evidence as to the state of the corpo-
rations of England, he must defer giving judgment upon the
ease.--( Hear, hear, and hooting. )
Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS (who had, as we have already stated,
been accommodated with a chair) next rose, and presented
himself to the assembly amidst general plaudits and shouts.
With every feeling of his heart and every faculty absorbed in
the intense interest which ha took in the proceedings of this
day, a day which both here and elsewhere was big witls .the
fate of_the,Monarchy, the church, and the Cnkskt4isti.
England.—( Loud cheers.) If the present Go-vernmeat.sliould-
act honestly, on principle he would support them ; if thef de-
Viated from that course, and did not fulfil the just expectations
of the country—if they truckled to agitators--( Cheers)--if
they compromised with Radicals—( Cheers)—he would give
them his firm and decided opposition.—{ Loud cheers.) In
answering the call made upon them by the Monarch by the
recent exercise of his great prerogative, let the Constituency
of England take care that by their choice the Ministry selected
by their Sovereign should have a fair trial. He did not hesi-
tate to say, if a fair trial was afforded to the present advisers
of the Crown that the Monarchy was saved, that the Church
was preserved, and that the Constitution was maintained.
He (Sir H. Douglas) had in his own person seen much of re-
volution in three or four countries, and in common with his
fellow-soldiers had devoutedly prayed that such a visitation
might never befal England. He had seen a furious democracy
tyrannizing with unmitigated power over the people.. From
those countries he turned round, and regarded with admiration
the manner in which democratic power was so intermixed and
mingled with the other two branches of the state, preserving
the body politic confined to the whole.—(Loud cheers.) He
had seen also a country under a state of military despotism,
only to rejoice that, in his own land, military power was sub-
jected by the Constitution to civil controul.---(Loud cheers.)
Three cheers were then given by the Conservative party for
Sir Howard, who made way for Mr. Morris.
Mr. MORRIS next addressed the electors from the front of
the hustings, but the noise and confusion continuing we could
not catsh a word he uttered. From education and principle
he was attached to the Church of England, and it was because
he was attached to the Church that he was desirous tohave it
reformed.—( Applause and disapprobation.) Being a friend to
civil and religious liberty he would throw open the gates of
the Universities to all, without reference to their religious
principles or feelings. With respec. to the Irish Church he
would say that those who opposed the measures of last session
were guilty of all the consequences that have or might ensue.—
( Loud cheers, followed by great disapprobation.) As a Bri-
tish merchant he was naturally a firm friend to free trade.
He was an advocate of Corporation Reform.—( Cheers and
hisses.) He Was opposed to long Parliaments, and was in
favour of triennial Parliaments. He was an enemy to taxa-
tion —(‘‘ What ! how far ?") He meant to excessive taxation.
—( Cheers.) His situation of Bank Director would show that
he cou!d not be opposed to necessary taxation, to provide for
national expense and national faith.—(Cheers,) What he
meant by excessive taxation was taxation which provided for
sinecures. He was an advocate for the repeal of taxes on
knowledge. " A strong pull, a long pull, and a pull alto-
gether," and the cause of Reform would triumph.--( Cheers.)
In reply to a question put to him respecting the Bank of
England,
Mr. MORRIS said, " I am asked if I would support the Bank
of England ? My answer is, I will, for I should be sorry to
see more than one establishment issue money in the metro-
polis. This doctrine has been held by all writers on political
economy, with the exception of Sir Henry Parnell."
Proclamation was then made, and the Court was adjourned
to nine o'clook to-morrow morning.

Mr. Alderman LEYLAND seconded the Gallant Baronet's
nomination.
Mr. W. EARLE, junior, proposed Mr. Morris as one of the
Representatives in Parliament.
itie.-HeYwoßam seconded the nomination.
The nominations having been thus finished,
Mr. EWART came forward, arid was received with great
cheering. Great was the astonishment of the country when
the late Government was dissolved. Great was the amaze-
ment of the people when they saw not only the old hands
brought back, but an additional number of recruits taken into

the Tory ranks who had never before figured in the Welling-
ton battalion.—( Cheers, and a shout of " Three cheers for the
Duke of Wellington," which were given with astounding ve-
hemence, and echoed back from the Liberal side.) Mr.
E wart resumed. When he saw the old battalion brought
back, he did confess it reminded him of the muster-roll of

Sir John Falstaff.—( Loud cheers.) He by no means wished
to disparage their military talent. ; but it did appear to him
that they had been selected by the Duke of Wellington
much upon the same plan as Sir John kalstaff had adopted,
namely, as food for powder.—( Laughter and cheers.) He
did think they were more adapted for figuring. in the camp
than in debate. _As Sir John said to Shallow, when he
asked why he did not select better men, the reason was that
they presented no mark to the enemy, they might as well
take aim at the edge of a penknife.—( Laughter.) The great
principle upon which the Duke of Wellington appeared to
have selected his men consisted in two words—of silence and
obedience.—(Applause.) He did not think Mr. Peel's va-
lour would so much have outrun that which was generally
supposed to be the better:part of valour, as to have induced
him to take the lieutenancy in that remarkable cohort—
( Cheers and laughter.) He said the lieutenancy, for who
would suppose that Sir Robert Peel was to be the captain ?
(Hear, and cheers.) He was, indeed, to be spokesman, but
he never would be the captain, and only the spokesman as far
as Ancient Pistol was the spokesman to Sir John Falstaff._
( Applause.) Another appeal had been made td the feelings
and reason of the people. There had been a vain attempt to
say that property was in danger.—( Interruption.) Their op-
ponents had vainly attempted to say that the security of pro-
perty was inconsistent with the progress of Reform. It was
true, indeed, that the progress of Reform was not in accord-
ance with the preservation of abuses; but in his opinion it
would tend greatly to increase the security of property.—
( Cheers.) Now he asked them whether those who advocated
the principles of Reform had, or had not, shown the exist-
ence of justice? He would throw the whole question on this
issue, had they, or had they not, proved the existence of in-
justice? In the first place, had they proved the existencs of
religious injustice and injury? Did the Dissenters not pay for
a Church which was not their own ?—( Mr. Duncan Gibb,

." They are only one to ten I" and much uproar, interrupted
with cries of " They ought to pay.") Now, if he were
asked what was the remedy he would say, oppose to the utmost
the present Ministry, and let the watchword be " Turn them
out.",-(Prodigious uproar. )—He would ask whether the pre-
sent municipal system was not a, system of injustice ?—( One
cried, " No, it is not !" followed by three cheers for " Church
alai King," raised by the Gentlemen upon the hustings : great
confusion followed.) Mr. Ewart resumed. lie asked if the
corn laws were not a fruitful source of injustice? They were
not only opposed to every principle of equity, but they were
oppos sil to the first principles of English common law, and
' every lawyer, from Sir Edward Coke downwards, had main-
tained this opinion. —( Some subsequent remarks were lost owing
to the noise.) His remedy for the corn Ivey was to tu: n out
the Ministry.—(Great confusion.) He now came to another
subject, Ecclesiastical Reform.--( Hear, and disturbance.)
He demanded an Ecclesiastical Reform in the name of justice.
What was his specific for this evil? He would repeat, with
reference to the present Ministry, " Turn them out."—( Cries
of " We'll turn you out first.") He would give an honest
straightforward advice and say, "'Turn out the Ministers."
He sincerely hoped and believed that there would be a voice
resounding from the Land's End to the Cheviots, from the
Cheviots to the Orkneys, and back again from Ireland, of
" Turn them out."—(Tremendous applause. )
Lord SANDoN then came forward, but his appearance was
the signal for such a loud and universal burst of hisses and
groans,- answer;.;l
by no less vociferous cheers from his Lord-
with the utmost difficulty that a
ship's friends, that 1,, vas
word of his speech could
-be n-,.:r dby the Court. His Lord-
ship observed, that this was an illust".2.t.i°n of what they had
~ to hope from those who called themselves Lberal ;" those
who assumed to themselves the exclusive title. '" Hear,
hear," from the Reds.) He had known them ; he had bee.:
much amongst them ; and he was solemnly persuaded that
their liberality was only another name for bigotry and in-
tolerance.—( Loud cheering.) A cry had been raised about
military dictation. Let them remember that the little finger
of the dictation of the multitude was heavier than the loins of
that which had been assumed as dictation in the Tories.—
( Loud cheers.) They had seen it in Ireland. There the
little finger of O'Connell had been found heavier than all the
severity of Government could possibly be. He would say
fearlessly that the destiny and the dearest interests of the
country were now involved in the existence of the present Mi-
nistry.—( Loud applause, returned from the Liberal party )
Was it for the restoration of the late Administration that
that cry was raised ?—( No.) No, gentlemen, the late Ad-
ministration, before their career closed, were as unpopular
as the present.—( Hear, hear.) They were just unpopular
in the degree in which they wished to stand by the in-
stitutions of the country.—( Loud cheers.) Every man, every
ministry. who wished to stand by the institutions of the coun-
try would share the same fate—( Hear, hear)—and, therefore,
' he said, that no ministry would satisfy the present rage of the
people that designed to pay any respect to those institutions—
