BRISTOL.

During the late contested election for Bristol
Mr. Daniel, a West India merchant, was chairman
of Sir R. Vyvyan's committee. A day or two be-
fore the commencement of the poll, the ship
Eleanor, the property of the above-named merchant,
arrived at this port. Her cargo had always been
confided to the superintendence and deposited in
the warehouses of Mr. Thomas Rankin, a gentle-
man of great respectability, and who carried on the
business of West India cooper and warehouseman.
On the ship's arrival, her cargo was entered at the
Custom-house as intended for Mr. Rankin's ware-
houses. .

Mr. Rankin is a Whig, and as such has ever been
known during the period of his residence in Bristol,
nearly thirty years. Many hundred pounds per
annum have been for many years paid by Mr.
Daniel to Mr. Rankin on account of the business
the latter had transacted for the merchant.

Just after the ship's arrival, viz., on the second
and last day of the poll, Mr. Daniel called at the
counting-house of Mr. Rankin, and requested him
to go at once and vote for Sir R. Vyvyan. Mr.
Rankin replied that he had ever been identified with
the Whigs, and that, therefore, he could not vote for
Sir R. Vyvyan without a sacrifice of principle—
that he would most readily do any thing to oblige
Mr. Daniel, provided it were nothing he should be
unable to reconcile to his conscience—and, lie
added, that, in consequence of a recent domestic
affliction—the loss of a near relative, he (Mr. Ran.
kin) could not appear in public, and consequently
would not vote at all—not even with his own
party.
A day or two afterwards, Mr. Rankin was in-
formed that Mr. Daniel had taken the cargo of the
ship from him, and given it to another gentleman
(a Tory). INIr. Rankin immediately wrote a note
to Mr. Daniel, stating that he was desirous of know-
ing in what respect he (Mr. Rankin) had merited
this apparent loss of confidence; as, during a period
of upwards of twenty years, Mr. Daniel had not
complained of the manner in which his business
had been conducted by Mr. Rankin, and that he
(Mr. Rankin) wished to vindicate himself from any
charge of negligence. Mr. Daniel replied by
stating that he was at a loss to conceive how the
exercise of his discretion in conducting his com-
mercial affairs could affix any stigma on Mr. Ran-
kin's character. This reply of course acquits Mr.
Rankin of any charge against him as a man of bu-
siness, and merely asserts the merchant's right " to
do what he will with his own."
