110 W TO VOTE.

The city and borough elections are now concluded, and the
public are viewing with great anxiety the conduct and ap-
proaching issue of the county representation. The system of
class constituency, and the influence of the aristocracy in the
counties, expose the Reformers to great risk ; management and
union can alone insure the return of Liberal men. The system of
double returns, or two Members for the same constituency, may
always work a fraud on the elective franchise; and notoriously
often ends in the defeat of that candidate who polls the
greatest number of electors ! " Splits," or divided votes,
by a minority of electors, will always seat two candidates, to
the exclusion of a third supported by a majority of voters! It
is unquestionably the duty of a Liberal elector, when there are
three candidates in the field, and only one candidate advocating
the political opinions of Reformers, to give his first and chief
support to the Liberal 'candidate. When there are three can-
didates—one Liberal and two rank Tories—the Reform elector
should vote plumpers. But where one sound Reformer
and "a moderate Reformer," and an undisguised Tory are
the three candidates, the electors must beware how they
allow the constituency to split for the two latter. It is
the duty and policy of the Reformers, in such case to
support the:moderate Reformer, and to obtain the cross
support of his partisans, or otherwise the moderate Re-
former and the Tory coalescing, will by split votes oppose
the Reformer. This rule applies to all the counties where
contests exist under such circumstances between three candi-
dates. Local jealousies and party bigotry must give way to
public duty. We will illustrate this rule by reference to the
present political contests in the two divisions of the county of
Warwick. In the Southern division, Sir Gray Skipwith
and Sir George Philips (Reformers) are opposing Mr.
Shirley, a notorious Tory. There the Reformers will, of
course, split their votes in favour of the two Liberal candi-
dates. In the Northern division of Warwickshire,lMr. Dug
dale, jun., (late Member for the rotten borough of Bramber),
an incurable Anti-Reformer—Sir Eardley E. Wilmot, a
moderate Reformer—and Mr. Dempster Heming, a de-
cided Reformer, are the candidates. There the Whig and
Reform electors must support Mr. Heming and Sir E. Wilmot,
or the casting votes of the Tories will exclude one of the Liberal
candidates. Whatever party divisions may have subsisted pre-
vious to the nomination, that Liberal candidate or his friends
who refuse to support both Liberal candidates conjointly de.
serves to lose his election, and probably will be defeated. The
good of the country must be a paramount consideration to local
feuds and nice distinctions of opinions. No candidate must be
allowed to mount a pedestal of pride or of aristocratic conceit,
and say " I will not coalesce." The support of the " Common
Cause" is the test of the political sincerity of a professed Re.
former. He must not selfishly think of himself: he must set
at liberty his plumpers and personal adherents; and the return
of the two most Liberal candidates must be the common and
declared object of all real Reformers. Candidates must dis-
cern that their conduct in this juncture will not only be the
test of their present sincerity, but of their future claim on
the constituency; and as a hint to their " policy" we appeal
to the "coming events, which are casting their shadows
before them," and advise that in all human probability the
new Parliament will not be of Septennial duration, or the
candidates for the succeeding one men of undecided politics.
These remarks we apply generally to all the county contests
similarly placed with those of the county of Warwick. But
they are more immediately occasioned by one observation from
the Birmingham Journal of Saturday, that a cross fire is
going on between the several adherents of Mr. Dempster
Heming and Sir Eardley E. Wilmot. We say a truce to such
divisions

The common citadel is attacked ; the enemy are at the
gates. Suspend civil war. Electors of the Northern Division
of Warwickshire—partisans of Mr. Heming and Sir Eardley
Wilmot—unite ; rally round the standard and colours of Re-
form and a Liberal Administration exclude the backbone
Tory, Sir William Stratford Dugdale, who voted in every di-
vision against that Act for the amendment of the English re-
presentation which gave four Members to Warwickshire ; ex.
dude by union that candidate who now impudently seeks the
confidence and support of those county electors who he did his
utmost to keep restricted to the privilege of returning two
Members only! Common sense—principle calls upon you to
unite; the eyes of England rest on the example of Warwick-
shire Reformers !—Mo rning Chronicle.

MR. MANNERS SUTTON.--The/ate Speaker
is again appointed to his office. The fact is, that the pre-
sent Government will not raise him to the Peerage, and
Mr. SUTTON 15 too old a politician not to be glad to ac-
cept his former seat. It is a good joke of his friends,
that he has been solicited by the KING, in order that his
pension may be saved to the country. The Tory clique
keep him in petto as their future Premier.—Spectator.

MIDDLESEX ELECTION

(THIS DAY.)

The nomination of the candidates for this county took
place this morning, at New Brentford Butts.
Lord Henley having resigned his pretensions to the
representation of the county on the ground that he had
not such support as would justify him in going to a poll,
the Conservative party determined to start a candidate on
the same principles as his Lordship, and accordingly at a
late hour on Sa'urday they prevailed upon Sir Charles
Forbes, Bart., to allow himself to be put in nomination.
The worthy Baronet instantly put forth his pretensions,
and made every preparation for the contest which the
shortness of the time permitted.
Sir Jour; SCOTT LILLIE, the popular new candidate,
having started, professedly founding his claims on his
principles being precisely similar to those of Mr. Hume,
his Committee issued placards, in which the Hon. Candi-
date's name was used jointly with that of that Hon. Gen-
tleman's, thereby inducing a belief that there was a coali-
tion between the two candidates. Mr. Hume's Com-
mittee, however, instantly issued bills, declaring that that
gentleman had not formed, nor intended to form, a coali-
tisn with Sir J. S. Lillie, or any other candidate.
Sir CHARLES FORBES came down to this neighbourhood
yesterday and dined with Colonel Clitheroe, one of his
most strenuous supporters.
It was announced that the proceedings would com-
mence at ten o'clock precisely, at which time there were
but few persons present in front of the hustings. Indeed
the town and neighbeurhoed were but little mere dis-
turbed than usual, which was probably owing to the un-
favourable state of the weather. Messrs. Burchell, the
Under-Sheriffs, in a most handsome manner, had, at the
request of the reporters for the public press, caused the
most ample accommodation to be provided for them. At
a few minutes past ten o'clock, Messrs. Humphery and
Peck, the Sheriffs of the county, drove up to the hus-
tings in their state carriages, and were closely followed by
the carriages of Mr. Hume, Mr. Alderman Wood, Mr.
Grote, and other gentlemen. On Mr. Hutne and Mr.
Alderman Wood coming upon the hustings, they were
loudly cheered. We could not ascertain that Mr. Byng
or Sir C. Forbes had arrived.
The writ and the statute against bribery and corrup-
tion baying been read, the Sheriffs, as Returning-officers,
took the usual oath to make a true return.
Mr. Sheriff HUMFHERY then claimed an attentive and
patient hearing for every gentleman who wished to address
the electors.—(Hear.)
SAMUEL WHITBREAD, Esq., stated, that he felt great
pride in standing before the electors of Middlesex, to
whom he was no stranger, for tl.e purpose of proposing
to their notice an old and tried friend ; and though a
Middlesex election was no new scene to them be was
glad to appear before them, for he was of opinion that a
candidate could not be too often before the electors, al-
though he could not help saying that the present election
was one of a most peculiar and novel character, for it put
before the electors the prospect, nay, the certainty of a
contest. It therefore behoved a person who had a candi.
date to propose, to meet the matter boldly, and to
put before them those circumstances on which the
c indidate laid his claims to their support. If what
he should have to say would appear unpalatable to any
person, whether a candidate or an elector, he hoped they
would put the most charitable construction upon his words,
for he did not mean intentionally to give offence to any
person.—(Cheers.) Mr. Byng had been before the public
42 yeas as their representative, and in eleven successive
Parliaments ; and if at any time he had shown the slightest
symptoms of having deserted the people in the hour of
need, he (Mr. W.) would not only not now advocate his
cause, but instead of now honouring he would despise him.
—(Cheers.) But great, indeed, had been his surprise at
the attacks which had been made upon Mr. Byng by per.
sons and by newspapers which had hitherto been deemed
respectable—(Cries of " Oh")—attacks, he must say, of
the most unjustifiable nature. He was surprised that any
person should to-day wish to start up a candidate
and cry down an old friend, for the purpose of
raising the character of a new candidate.---(Loud and con-
tinued cheering.) They stood to-day under circumstances
of a most novel character. He could understand why
a Tory of the old school should oppose a man of liberal
principles—be could understand why two Tories of the
old school should endeavour to drive away liberal candi-
dates—but he confessed that he could not understand
why a person professing liberal principles should_ endea-
vour to drive down two tried candidates, who had proved
themselves liberal in their practice.—(Loud cheers.)
But by some it was said that Mr. Byng did not go far
enough.—(A cry of "He don't.") Mr. Byng was a Re-
former, a real Reformer, but he was no agitator.—
(" Bravo 1" and cries of " Annual Parliaments," and
"No Corn Laws.") Mr. Byng had for many years
fought in the ranks of those who had been endevouring
to obtain the legitimate rights of the people—he
had fought until he had become a veteran in the cause,
for he was the father of the House of Commons, and he
was not likely to enlist as a young recruit in the ranks of
those who were beating up for a party, to keep up agita-
tion for the sake of agitation.—(Hisses and cheers.) The
present Ministers were enlightened and patriotic, and the
question was whether they would support Lord Grey's
Government or not ? If they would, what better course
could they adopt than by re-electing those who had fought
by Lord Grey in obtaining that great measure which they
all rejoiced in ?—(Cheers.) As he (Mr. W.) had no
fear that the electors would give their support to Mr.
Byng, he had no objection to touch upon a topic which
had been much spoken of---.he meant the subject ufpledges.
He would hold that electors ought to distrust a pledged
man.—(Much confusion and cries of " Small beer.")
Upon the subject of pledges, the question was whether the
electors would send a man into a deliberate Parliament or
into an assembly of useless logs. The electors of all the
London districts had discharged their duty well in reject-
ing those candidates who had appeared on their hustings
ready not only to swallow every suggestion proposed, but
even the proposers themselves.—(Cheers and hisses.) He
had great satisfaction in proposing an old and tried friend,
and the electors would do their duty in returning him to
the first Reformed Parliament which his long and faithfu
services entitled him to.

Sir JAMES WILLIAMS came forward to support that
nomination. He trusted the whole of the electors would
do so also. The candidate before them had, by an inde-
fatigable servitude of two-and-forty )ears, recommended
himself to the notice of the electors.—(Bravo.) It was
not a speech of his (Sir J. Williams') that was required
in order that the electors might know the candidate, be-
cause he had been in eleven Parliaments, upholding,
throughout that time, every institution caleulatod to
promote the freedom and insure the happiness of the
country. Would the electors then falter or desert a
man at this time of the day, who had so long advocated
their principles? The candidate had been so long in the
service of the public, that it was not likely his future years
could extend to any great number; and certainly the elec-
tors would desert their duty if they did not elect Mr.
Byng. What he would do for the electors in future must
be judged of by his past and faithful services.—(Bravo, and
cries of "He has done nothing.") He did not believe
there was a more stanch Reformer in the country. He
remembered hearing it said of an old maid, that she de-
dared she would marry no one but a Reformer. He
trusted the electors of Middlesex would only show their
affection now for a Reformer, and send into Parliament
the gentleman whose name had been mentioned to them.
After forty-two years' experience the hey-day of youth had
been naturally merged in the mature consideration of age.
Surely the electors would notshow themselves so unworthy
of the franchise vested in them, as to reject a candidate
whose only fault, even in the eyes of those who opposed
him, was his caution. He did not mean to say that he
objected ; and if he did it would be of no use to others
willing to go further than Mr. Byng being sent into the
House of Commons, for they would represent opinions
which had as much title to be represented as his._
(Hear, hear.) Besides, the collision of opinions could
not but tend to the elucidation of truth. With respect
to the subject of pledges he somewhat differed from the
gentleman who preceded him, for he thought that there
might be a case in which it would be right to demand
pledges, and that case was when a new untried man
presented himself, but it would be a disgrace to the country
if they required pledges from a man who had repre.
sented them for 42 years.—.(Cries of We doubt him; he is
an advocate of the corn laws.) Mr. Byng being the friend '
of rational reform, order, and decorum, he begged to
second his nomination. —(Some cheers, and a few biases.)
Mr. RANDLE JACKSON came forward to pro-
pose Mr. Hume, but before he could utter two sentences,
a scene of confusion began which stopped the proceed-
ings of the election for ten minutes. Some ten or twelve
horsemen, utterly forget:ul of anybody's convenience but their
own, rode up as close to to the hustings as possible. At the
beginning, when the crowd was not very dense, no great danger
seemed to arise from their selfishness, but the mass of people
behind and around them thickening, some of the constables
endeavoured to press the horsemen back, but they struck them
with their sticks, and a fight occurred between some of them and
the constables amidst loud cries of " shame," and directions
from the Sheriff to the horsemen to retire. A sufficient body
of constables having at length penetrated to the scene of action,
those of the horsemen who saw they were in a wrong position,
withdrew, and the others were hacked out " nolens volens."
Mr. B. JACKSON continued. He felt more than ordi-
