AN LLECTOR OF NORWICH.

BATH, JAN. /:

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin—Here have the Tories been overthrown, and here have the
Reformers proved themselves a quiet and determined body—quiet
in effecting their ot4eot, and determined in attaining it ; and here
has another we;ght been thratVii to aVerliattince that kale *hid' has
already been declared wanting ; and of course the people of Bath
are revolutionists, church destroyers, ignorant of their own inte-
rests, and running blindfold to certain ruin. But these and such
like phrases arc now too old to startle, tbel common to terrify, as
experience has proved that they Mean, not what they tto Ely, but
what they do not say. Now suppose, for instance, that the body of
a roan is ill, and his blood become corrupted and impure, does he
console himself by sitting clown and exclaiming upon the original
wonder and perfection of his frame, or does he not rather call in a
physician, who, by salutary (and not poisonous) medioines, restores
Isis functions to their former and intended purposes? 1-Ic does not
suffer his admiration of the patient's frame, as it originally was, to
blind his judgment as to what it now is, nor does he permit it to
stop his renovating hand. Neither do the Reformers suffer their
admiration of our wonderful constitution, in its original state of
purity, to blind their eyes to its glaring defects--defects not of, but
grown on, the system ; and because they would remedy these de-
fects, what ;,,,re they called—or rather what are they not called ? A
dictionary of their names would be no bad way of expelling an hour
of ennui. And again : The body of a man is afflicted with some
excrescence, grown on to (not originating with) some part of his
body, by which his right functions are impeded ; and when he has
this excrescence removed by the hands of some skilful surgeon, and
is thus restored to his pristine activity, is he called a fool, or a de-
stroyer of his body, for removing that which was an hindrance to
-it ? Certainly not. Neither are they the faols or destroyers, who,
admiring our pure and holy religion, would rid it of those pests
which are making our Church a bye-word, and which the Con-
servatives (so called) are so anxious to retain. What, lot us ask,
are the thoughts and aims of every honest Reformer ? His thoughts
are,—honour for his King—love for his Religion—and respect for
his (justly styled) unrivalled Constitution; and his aims, so to
purify and reform his religion, and to amend and invigorate his
Constitution, as to obtain for the whole of them—namely, King,
Church, and Constitution—that respect and veneration which.
nought but purity can obtain.—l remain, Sir,
With the highest respect for your principles,
A LOVER OF TRUTH, AD
A SUBSCRIRER TO THE SUN.
P. S.—The energy and spirit shown by The Sun, in all cases
where the cause of the people is the object, have entitled it to the
esteem of every true Reformer--and rely upon it, Sir, it has ob-
tained it.

NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT, JAN. O.

(most oust ows cnitars'eol•tnExt.)
Pursuant to precept, &c., the Mayor; Percy Scott, and other
Members of the Boroughmongers, assembled at the Town Hall,
Newport, for the purpose of electing two fit and proper candidates,
&e. The following were proposed :
Two old Reformers I Hawkins.
Ord.
Sir W. Gordon (Horse-Guards.)
Hamilton.
On a show of hands being in favour of the old Members, the two
latter demanded a poll.
An immense concourse had assembled near th Tnirn-liall bears
ing the Tory colours (purple tintl fed) among which were a party
of bullies from Cowes, who had been hired for the occasion by the
Tory party, consisting of shipwrights from two yards, and who car-
ried several 'colours headed by their masters, and preceded by a
would-be band. These were for the purpose of preventing the
`speeches of the two Refortnerm lithig heard-46 iiiMEek of the
ceremonies, an o!d greyswhikered " Rat"---appeared to all present
(by a Pertain itching of the nose, and his scratching it,) so give
titer signal for the poor hirelings (ss. a-day) to commence hooting.
The Reform party, who had for two hours bore all this with very
good feeling, when the watehiVoM resounded in their ears,
" Awake, crier, &C.," and they retaliated ; the greatest confusion
now prevailed for a while, and in a short time the varnlin were
cleared. Gordonites were seen running in all directions, the
colours torn to ribands, hats lost, and carrying no other colours with
them than what were marked or rather impressed on their ogles
and features; a tooth was picked up afterwards in the High street
with every appeAt'itnoe of having been dislodged.
7.—belling —Pelling commenced at nine &clock, and the candidates
kept close upon each other throughout the day, with every appear,
envy of a hard struggle.

Upon the close, or this day's poll, Gordon retired amidst the yells
and groans of the populace:
Oh the cootrory, the two tried men and favourites were preceded
by the two brae bands, playing alternately, and followed by an im-
nlthSd COticoUrse of electors and others; friendly to the cause, four

of which they severally addressed the populace in very able speeches,
commenting on the tieeeiiity of the ballot, in consequence of the
thltats and intimidations which had been used in the town.
We must hcit omit stating the high-minded feeling of the band,
