IPSWICH ELECTION.

The nomination of candidates having been appointed to take
place yesterday, the town of Ipswich, at a very early hour,
presented a most animated appearance. At nine o'clock the
doors of the Town-hall were thrown open, and the crowd,
who had been waiting some time, instantly rushed in, and
filled every part of the hall. The Whig party took the right
hand, and the Tories the left of the building. Each of the
candidates on their arrival were loudly_cheered by their re-
spective friends.
J. C. COBBOLD, Esq., the senior bailiff, entreated the meet-
ing to be silent while the precept and the other formal docu-
ments were read. With great difficulty his request was com-
plied with, both parties appearing to be determined to disturb
the proceedings of the election.
The precept, &c., were then read, and
Mr. COBBOLD observed that he again presented himself to
the meeting, to entreat them, during the progress of the pro-
ceedings, to preserve silence, and give every one a fair hearing.
The Returning-officers were then sworn, and the Act
against bribery and corruption read, many parts of which
having reference to the late acts of bribery, caused a loud
laugh among the members of the meeting, and created some
confusion.
Mr. S. ALEXANDER then proposed Mr. Morrison, and said
he had no doubt that if the electors acted in unison with their
hearts and pledges, Mr. Morrison would be returned by a large
majority.—( Cheers.)
Mr. BRAME seconded the nomination. He said he thought
that the Tory party would have seceded from making an oppo-
sion, and by so doing, they would have shown their sympathy
for those persons who were now suffering punishment, and
which sympathy ought to have been shown. He felt that
what took place at the last election, and the disclosures which
had taken place in the Committee of the House of Commons,
left a black stain on his native town, and the only way to re-
move it was to exercise the elective franchise in a fair and
honourable manner, and return Messrs. Morrison and Wason.
Mr. SEEKA MP said that it was the fourth time that he ap-
peared before the electors to recommend Mr. Wason. Twice
they elected hire, and the reason they had not chosen him the
third time it was not necessary for him to enter into. He re-
gretted that the indiscretion of their fellow-townsmen had
brought them into the difficulty in which they were then
placed, and he lamented that those shallow politicians who
had led them into that difficulty were walking at liberty, when
they ought to be under the same roof with those who were im-
prisoned.—( Cheers and noise.) He concluded by nominating
Mr. Wason.
Mr. C. HAMMOND said he begged to second the nomina-
tion. A great deal had been said about the vindictive con-
duct of Mr. Morrison and Mr. Wason, but he would ask the
electors would they not have prosecuted the conduct of the
Tory party at the last election ?—( No, no, no, and uproar.)
Then he would tell those who would not have done so that
they possessed no honourable feelings. Mr. Morrison and
Mr. Wason fairly carried the matter before a committee of
the House of Commons, to have it fairly investigated. Eleven
Honourable Gentlemen on their .oaths sat 41 days to investi-
gate the disgusting proceedings—(Cheers and noise)--and
the result of that investigation was before them. Now he
would ask, would it be believed that Mr. Dundas, a man ex-
polled from the House, two days after could have the effron-
tery to come down among the electors of Ipswich ?—( Cheers
from one party, and uproar from the other.) Mr. Dundas had
the effrontery to come down, and to delivery an inflammatory
speech, stigmatizing the Committee of the House of Com-
mons, and recommending the Blue party to pursue the same
course which they did at the last election. Mr. Dundas was
kind enough to implicate his friend Mr. Kelly, and to say
that he would be down in a few days, and tell the electors
how the House of Commons had decided.—( Uproar.) Mr.
Dundas had therefore brought his friend into the same scrape
as himself. He was astonished that the Blue party were so
indecent as to put a gentleman like Col. Broke forward on
I this occasion.—( Here Mr. Hale was pointed out by some of
the crowd, and cries of " Turn him out," were raised from
various parts of the Hall.) He regretted that one of 'the fa-
mily of Broke should have been brought forward on such an
occasion. If he had waited only two or three short months
lie should have been glad to have seen the Colonel in the
field. He would now find that he had been deceived, for so
sure as he was alive he would be beaten by a large majority.
Mr. BACON then stepped forward. He said he deeply re-
gretted, and so did a great majority of the inhabitants of the
town, that the decision of the Committee of the House of
Commons had deprived them of two most honourable, upright,
and constitutional Members. Notwithstanding the inhabitants
of Ipswich had lost two such men, and notwithstanding the
insinuations that had been thrown out against them, their cha-
racters were without a stain.—(" Hear, hear, hear," from one
side, and groaning on the other.) There were two sides to a
question, and he was convinced that if the decision of that
Committee was to be brought before the twelve judges of the
land and an honest jury, it would be condemned. However,
the matter had not yet terminated, as the Report of the Com-
mittee had not been brought before the House of Commons.
The charges against their fellow-townsmen would be brought
before a Committee of the House of Commons; that House
was extremely jealous of its privileges, and he would warn
them to be careful how they exercised their authority. Instead
of hearing the charges against their townsmen, they were com-
mitted to Newgate ; and he put it to the meeting, whether an
Englishman should be considered guilty without a trial ?
Their committal to Newgate, however, was done not so much
with the view of punishing them, as to deprive the two Con-
servative candidates of their votes at that election. It was
n ith great pleasure he stated that he had been deputed by a
large majority of the town to put in nomination Col. Broke.
He would preserve their rights and privileges, and stand up
for the protection of the Constitution, which donstitution, he
regretted to say, the Ministers did not act upon.
Mr. RODWELL seconded the nomination. He said he was
bound to acknowledge, upon the decision of the Committee of
the House of Commons, that bribery did take place at the last
election—( Hear, hear)—and it was now incumbent upon every
honest man in the borough to show that he was not afraid to
meet the public feeling which prevailed at that time, and that
he was anxious to relieve himself from the load of public odium
which had been cast upon the inhabitants of the town.—
(Loud cheering.) He contended, therefore, that there was
no indecency in the Conservatives coming forward on that oc-
casion, because it showed that they were not afraid to meet any
charge that might be alleged against them.—( Hear, hear. )
It had been said that sympathy for those persons who were in
confinement should have induced the Conservatives to hold
back, but he believed that no committee or body of men would
suffer their minds to be so operated upon as to visit those per-
sons with harsher punishment because independent men choose
to exercise their elective franchise honourably and faithfully.—
( Hear, hear.) The black stain on the town must, therefore,
not attach exclusively to the party to which he (Mr. Rodwell)
belonged. To recede from the contest at that moment would,
in fact, be pleading guilty to the charge.
Mr. FONNEREAU said he had great pleasure in coming for-
ward to nominate a gentleman in the Conservative interest,
whose long public services entitled him to the support of the
town.—( A laugh.) He did so with more pleasure, because
since that gentleman had arrived in Ipswich, the stanch friends
of the True Blue interest had proved that they did not give
credit to the calumnies with which that party was branded.
They had not listened to the voice of intimidation, but almost
to a man promised that support which they gave to their late
Hon. Members Mr. Dundas and Mr. Kelly.—( A laugh.) He
would ask what would have been said of the Conservative in-
terest in the town if they had not come forward after the deci-
sion of the Committee of the House of Commons ? It would
have been said, that branded with infamy, and cognizant of
their own unjust proceedings, they were afraid, from feelings
of shame, to come forward. The Hon. Gentleman then con-
cluded by nominating Mr. Holmes.—( Loud cheers and in-
, terruption.)
Mr. CA TT seconded the nomination.
Mr. MORRISON then presented himself to the meeting, and
was received with loud cheering from the Yellows and hissing
from the Blues. He observed that it was important that both
sides should be heard when charges of the gravest character
had been made. His opponents, however, had the most diffi-
cult task to perform, and he hoped they would be able to jus-
tify themselves. He appeared before the electors under very
painful circumstances to himself, and it would have agreed
very ill with his feelings on any other occasion to have gone at
length into the discussion of any political subject. At pre-
sent, however, there was but one subject which seemed to oc-
cupy the general attention—he alluded to the late proceedings
before the Committee of the House of Commons. Before
that Committee bribery was proved to have been practised by
the friends and agents of the Members at the last election.
The decision of that Committee was so just, that no one could
hesitate to come to the same conclusion.—(Confusion.) The
Hon. Gentleman then went on to complain that Mr. Bacon,
on a former occasion, had questioned the decision of the Com-
mittee, and impugned its impartiality by stating that it was
composed of radicals, papists, and levellers. Such; however,
was not the case. Were Mr. P. Stewart, the relative of the
Duke of Hamilton, Mr. Campbell, the brother of the
Duke of Argyll, or Mr. Ryall, the Member for Mac-
clesfield, or Mr. Plumptre, the Member for Kent,
Radicals or Papists? Or was the grandson of Judge
Blackstone to be called a Leveller A person in
the crowd said, " What do you say to Mr. Gully r) All that
he could say of Mr. Gully was, that he believed him to be a
very honourable man. With respect to the decision of the
Committee, it had, in many respects, in the opinion of gentle-
men in Westminster Hall, been ever contrary to precedent,
very hostile to them, and, he believed, the respectable part of
the community approved of it. The Blues, bold and daring
as they had be,n, dared not bribe to-morrow. A lesson had
no4w been taught them. and if, as impossible for them to u.
