Woriky opprirtt°iS or a worthy cause !

The Reformers of the great county of Yorkshire,
the first in extent, and second in political importtmco
in the kingdtlirm hoe 6fi he field, re-
solved to follow the glorious example of the Metropo-
lis. The commercial world has already recorded its
opinion of the value which it•fixes on the prornis of
bankrupts in piqnciple, and smugglers for ascendancy;
and we are now to learn whether the intelligent agri-
culturists of England are willing to he wafted elev.
with the WinnoWitigs of the political threshing
floor. Driven with disgrace 'from the towns, the dis-
comfited Tories are endeavouring to rally their shat
tered forces under cover of the corn ricks in the coun-
try. Let the farmers look to their property, and
beware of the Rats I for thethese Verinin are always to
be found among the baggage in the Tory camp. •Let
them bethink themselves that they are Englishmen,
and, as such, above the degradation of pandering to
the vi es, and intrigues, and Waltiiig-Women influence
of a court. The Tories have contrived, by back-
stair whisperings and petticoat manceuverings, to
throw the country into a state of almost unex-
ampled ferment—a_ state so alarming, that men talk
of 1640, and draw comparisons between that period
and the present ; end now It remains for the country
to signify, in a way which cannot .be mistaken—the
election of an upright House of Commons--how cor-
dially it detests such scheming proiliptB adi;euidiefs.
An the metropolis has set a glorious example to the
Empire, and particularly to all commercial constituen-
cies, so the noble conduct of the Reformers of
Yorkshire will be the aigttai in the agricul-
tural constituencies to rise and scatter the Tories
like chaff before wind. Lord MORPRTH and Sir
GEORGE STRICKLAND—both tried and able Rea
formers—are in the geld, and will most certainly be
returned for the West-Riding. The other districts of
the county will not be slow in coming forward in the
same bold and independent manner. Yorkshire will
do its duty, fearlessly and independently, by returning
six Reform Members, to confound the Tories in
the next Parliament, An advertisement in another
column of The Sun of this day, gives the names of
the leading Members of Lord MORPETH and Sir
GEORGE STRICKLAND'S COMMittar ; and We have

. •- - --
pleasure in etating that a more independent body— of
English gentlemen could not have come forward in
support of any cause. Their influence w:11 not be
confined to one Riding of the uninty ; and even the
Torres must admit, after reading their names, that
Conservatism and Aristocratic pretensions are no longer
synonimous. The contest must henceforth be in the.
country, and we are now to see what metal the agri-
cultural interests carry.

We cannot too forcibly remind the electors of the
very important fact, that the confidence of the Tory
candidates in Tory Ministers is built upon the inter-
pretation they themselves have gratuitously put upon
the little that has been avowed by the head of the Go-
vernment, vague and sophistical as that little has been.
Although Tory candidates may talk largely, and in
good set phrase, upon their favourable expectations of
the Ministry, who demand a fair trial only, that they
may be allowed to exhibit their desire to maintain un-
impaired the Constitution of the country, and to pre-
serve it from the violating hands of the Destructives
(and that, indeed, is all that the pure Reformers are
mainly solicitous about) ; yet, nevertheless, it must
not be forgotten, that, these expectations are not
founded upon any explicit declarations of the Go-
vernment. They have avowed nothing, said nothing,
implied nothing, which shall prevent them from en-
tering upon their old Tory career, the instant they find
themselves established in office. They have made no
assertions which can hold them in honourable restraint
from the commission of the same oppressive acts, which
characterised their course of conduct, when last they
were in sway. The amount of all they have said—

and that all is contained in Sir ROBERT'S manifesto,
is summed up in the ambiguous annunciation, that
when abuses shall be discovered in either Church or
State, the modification or cautious correction of them shall
receive due consideration ! This is the sum and sub-
stance of the only part of their proposed policy which
is distinctly intelligible. All the rest, all the
good things promised, hoped, or expected, are
support (no more !) from the favourable constructions
their Tory adherents are pleased to volunteer. What-

ever Tory candidates may say, however pompously
they may declaim about the happiness of the people
and the salvation of the Constitution, this one • fact
must be borne in continual remembrance, that
the Tory Government have sought a fair trial
for no one clearly expressed purpose, and for
for no other conceivable object than that of
maintaining themselves in power. Let the Elec-
tors remember
.this very important 'fact. The

Government have said nothing positively themselves,
and their best intentions (if they have any good ones
at all), have only been matter of inference by unau-
thorised writers and speakers. The Government
stands committed to no speciPc line of policy, by any
declaratory expression of their own ; their wisdom an
lib

lerality have been but conjectured, and as such Pro
:nulgatcd by their own unauthorised adherents.

This, of itself, is quite sufficient to convert hesita.
ion into resolve, and to induce all prudent men to re

fuse their confidence. to those whose policy requires
that they should veil their real intentions in midnight
secrecy. The Tory candidates may talk till they are
hoarse about what the Government will or will
not do ; such assertions are not worth the air they
agitate in making them. Their masters, the Govern-
ment, abide the Issue of the contest just commenced,
with sealed lips.

We have received the Paris Papers of Wednesday,
from which we learn that the cholera has made its ap-
pearance in that metropolis. By a report given at the
Mayor's office, eighteen persons have been seized with
it, of whom sixteen died. The cholera has raged for
some time in Marseilles, and almost every case has
terminated fatally.
The question so long discussed in the Chamber of
Deputies, respecting the erection of a new Court ad-
joining the Chamber of Peers, for the trial of the po-
litical offenders of April has at last terminated in a
way which renders the whole Ministerial scheme a
complete abortion, even while making the grant. No-
thing could be more ingenious than the "go by "
which the Deputies have given to the question at issue;
no doubt to the great dismay of Ministers, and the ex-
treme mortification of Lours PIIILIPPE. This was
done by adding to the resolution for granting the
360,000 francs the pithy amendment—" should
these trials ever take place "—thus leaving
to the KING and Peers an undivided responsibility.
How the KING must have bit his lips when he read
these ominous words ? And to make the dilemma stil

THIS DAY.

MAR YLEBONE

I Young's Night Thoughts—( Continued laughter)—must have
been of a most melancholy description.—( Cheers and laughter. )
An Zahri. Friend of mine has put a card into my hand which
reminds me
aaf a duty I have to perform. I stated yesterday
that we had wan the battle in spite of the utmost effects of
the publicans. one sinners (Gt-eat Cheering wed
laughter)—by that I did fie; mean to throw any imputation.
upon the publicans of this pariah—but I think it my duty to
state this fact—that a number of gentlemen waited and asked
me to attend a meeting of the publicans, at the same time
stating that they were the representatives of the whole body—
they asked me several questions, to which I gave answers, ap-
parently satisfactory ones, end generally stated that I would
support their interests, when they were not opposed to those of
my constituents at large.—(Great and long-continued cheer-
ing.) Those gentlemen expressed themselves perfectly satis-
fied-then you may guess my astonishment when on
the following morning I saw an advertisement in the papers
that they were determined to oppose me, because—now, what
do you think was their reason ?—why, because my answers to
their questions were not satisfactory, —(Great laughter.)
Gentlemen, I am now given to understand that those gentle-
men were not what they represented theneselvee to be—
(Great cheering)—and that the body generally seeew nothing
of that advertisement. • Gentlemen, I will still stspvort theie
interests in so far as I can see that they are those. of the
country, or do not oppose them ; and I trust that you will
think with me that Mr. Birch has furnished a most excellent
rod for his own back. This election for Marylebone is one of
the many important events which will make this time memorable
in the hands of our country. We are, gentlemen—it is use-
less to disguise it from you—on the eve of great events. One
step more, and we may be plunged into one of those eventful
struggles in which the people are almost sure to gain, and id
which the monarchy has everything to lose. I ens sorry for
it. I wish that I had lived in happier days, when the
echo of constitutional wisdom was replied to by the echo from
the Crown. I deeply regret that it is not so now. Three
short months ago we thought the vessel of the State was riding
proudly in a safe haven.—( Cheers.) Three months ago there
was one great part of the people who were still sufferiug—l
mean the poor—but they suffered in silence, saying to them-
selves, " The King means well, and we have a Minister on
whom we can rely." They comforted themselves in
the hopes of better times. Yet, although the poor
;were willing to bear their burdens, the rich men were not willing
tQ ,do their portions.—( Cheering.) While there was peace in
the t,. elf-deserted shop, while there was content in the cottage,
yet thene was discontent in mansions such as those now oppo-
site us ; e:ltere was impatience where best it was to he looked
for, in the Palace. At times like these there seemed to be a
peculiar Providence impending over them —(Loui and con-
tinued cheering.) Let me paint your Monarch, who, after
having given no extraordinary indications of genius in his
youth, at last arriving' at the throne of his fathers. Let me
paint him to you having' arrived at that stage of his existence,
gloriously doing himself h etsour, by being the first in reforming
the institutions of his counts ei for the benefit of his people,
the conqueror of the affections of his people, and to vindicate
the title of the first Magistrate of the country, by being the
most popular man in hie dominions.—(Cries of e‘ Hear,
hear.") Who would have supposed that this Monarch, that
a Monarch in this situation, would helve changed a Mi-
nistry that was attached to his prerogatiee, and tolerably—.
tolerably popular with his people? That he should have
changed a state of tranquillity for a state of 'convulsion ? That
he would have bartered and changed his Ministers,
who were preserving his prerogative, for a set of
men who have placed every right of the throne, as
well as every right of the people at this moment
in danger, ?—( Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, it has been so, and
my first duty on being returned to Parliament will be to say
what I think' ought to have been the King's duty, and to do
that which I consider is the duty of a representative of the
people.—( Hear, and cheers.) We, Gentlemen, have been
charged as revolutionists; now, there is no man more deeply
deprecates any thing approaching to a revolution than I do;
but let me call to your mind the two great revolutions, one of
which, some of you may have seen, and to one of which I
myself was an eye witness--I mean the revolutions in France.
What were they caused by in the first instance ? The people
asked that the rich should pay equally st its the poor—( Hear,
hear)—that there should not be 40,000 titled paupers receiv-
ing the money of the country, and that the poorer part of
the clergy should be adequately paid. When the representatives
of the people declared this, the Court said, you want a revolution.
and what occurred? Directly the Court said this, a revolu-
tion took place. In the other case, the Court appointed an
Administration which was unpopular with the country—the
representatives of the people said they could not place confi-
dence in that Government, and they said remove the Govern-
latent—but the Court and the King said you want a revolu-
tion, and a revolution took place; because the King would not
remove the Ministry, the people removed the King.—( Cheers. )
I do 'not say this, without deprecating that unfortunate
event, but I say it because I am anxious we should
even from these hustings speak respectfully but d'stinctly—
( Hear, hear.) I am anxious that our voice should penetrate
through the State paupers--( Hear, hear) —Aye, and the
purple-nosed parasites who lacquey at the heels of the
Court—( Hear.) lam anxious that it should press through
the idly gilded !weber of the palace—l am anxious, yes, I
am anxious that our sovereign should receive a lesson in time
that will keep him in pnpwer and prosperity—a lesson which
other Monarchs are now learning in adversity and exile--
(Cheering.) lam anxions :bat there should never be a re-
semblance between William IV. and Charles X., and therefore
I say that there is a resemble between a Ministry of
Peel, and the Administration of Polignac.—( Cheers.)
Gentlemen, I have now done. I shall not forget, as your
representative in Parliament, what is my duty ; it is true
I feel warmly, but I shall exercise time duty under the
double bias of direction and discretion.--( Hear, hear.)
I must always remember that I have to hold an even and im-
partial balance between tyrannical obstinacy-on the one hand,
and popular oppression on the other; and while rejecting the
Ministry, I highly respect the Monarchy.--( Cheers.) Now
in conclusion I will always remember that it is my duty not to
betray the trust which has been confided to me by the people.—
Mr. Bulwer retired amidst great cheering; Sir William
Horne was then culled for, but not making his appearance--
Mr. HOVENDON rose and said he did not meats. to take up
any of their time in making egotistical remarks, beet merely to
propose that the cordial thanks of the electors be given to the
returning officer for his able and impartial conduct during the
election.—( Loud cheers.)
Mr. SAVAGE came forward to seoond the resolution of
thanks to the returning officer. He could notehelp agreeing
m:ph a remark of one 'of their new representatives, that so
long as the people were able to send their own Representa-
tives to the House of Commons; so long as they made themselves
heard thaPvgh those representatives, there
,was no fear of a
revolution. if the Tories could succeed in corrupting any of
the boroughs throughout the kingdom, then then', should cry
out for another aleform Bill, and put the old one in schedules
A and B. He felt much pleasure in seconding the
vote of thanks to the returning officer, and lie hoped
they would depart in the' same peace as they had heretofore
exhibited, in order that thee great triumph they had achieved
should be without alloy or without disgrace„( Cheers. )
He would now beg of them, in conclusion to give three cheers
for their new representatives.—(This call was loudly responded
to.) Mr. Savage proposed three greasee for the Tories, which was
answered in a most hearty manner; these cheers for the Re-
formers of Finsbury for turning out the lawyer there, and fir
the Radical Williams, who had been just returned for Coventry,
which borough Sir W. Horne had freely caneassed.
The resolution was then put, and carried unanimously.
Mr. SANDELL, the Returning Officer, then returned
thanks. He said he was most grateful for the favour
they hid just conferred upon him by thanking him for his
conduct during the election. Nothing, he ass-ared them,
would give him greater pleasure than for him .to receive
the support and approbation of so enlightened a Con-
stituency. He would again thank them and hid them adieu.
A gentleman, whose ?same we understood to be Brain, there
came forward and congratn'iated the electors on the triumph
which they had just achieved. He was a Reformer of thirty
years' standing, although he hall been disqualified from voting
by the pressure of taxes imposed by ehe Tories.—( Cheers.)
Mr. MURPHY bare loudly called foieeame forward and said
that Sir William Iforne had taken away all his .voice. If
he bad been able to address them, it vesntlid have given
him great pleasure, but as he could not they must_ take the
will for the deed.-( Cheers.)
The vast multitude then quietly separated.
