(ion abroad. War is seldom justatide, an :t enta;:s its
own punishment. IVe a•e stn. s)oart ng front the effects
of former struggles, and this country requires peace for the
giowth of internal prosixrity and the improvement of its
institutions, and the correction of manifold almaes. This is
but an itnperf ct otrline of my lentlinents conc•erninl; a
few things, and if they are in unison with your own, I
ask far your suffrages on that ground, the only one on
which you ought to give them, or that you, as I well know
will give thern—that of public principle. G. ntlemen, I
solicit those suffrales front no idle ambition of distinctroti,
n•or from any motives of personal or party interest. You
have taught me to consider myself a servant of tt•e public,
;rid while health and strtngth are granted me, I will
tot,eignedly endeavour to fulfil my duty, and render you
all the service in mypower.—(Cries of " Hear, liet,r.)—
Nere let the once for all distinctly assure you that I ho-
nestly- wish to reform what is wrong, to redress all grievan-
ces, and correct all abuses. I desire to restore, not to
endanger—to preserve—not to destroy the institutions of
our country—and I am as anxious to protect the property
of the humblest of the industrious classes who may have
his deposit in a Savings Bank, or Friendly Society, as
that of the richest proprietor in the land. And now in
',inclusion allow me to express my unfeigned regret that
I have been unable personally to wait on each elector.
My original intention was to have abstained altogether
from any personal canvass. Much domestic affliction,
under pzculiar circumstances, at the time of the proroga-
tion of parliament, and a natural desire of obtaining a
little relaxation after my previous parliamentary labours.
which have been neither small nor short—and above all
the conviction that my character, and conduct were known
to the constituency of Surry—and that if I had been
found to fail in the performance of past promises_end
fre.h professions could possiblyavail—all these circumstance?
induced me to prefer not canvassing. But in compliance,
with the entreaty of friends—l have in some measure de-
sisted from this determination—and I want words to eon
vey my gratitude for the cordial reception I have eves,-
where experienced. It far, very far exceeds my humbly'
desert—and I feel that I can scarcely fail in toy election,
except it be owing to a sense of security on the part of my
supporters, if they imagine I need not their energy and
activity. I therefore intreat them, if any services of mit e
can avail either themselves or -their country, publicly to
record their votes in my behalf. Let them remember, as
the strongest motive for doing so, that the influence of my
vote or voice in Parliament, depends simply on the esti-
mation in which 1 am known to be held by the consti-
tuency of Surrey. I wish my voice could reach to all
the electors who may reside within or without the county
—but I trust they will learn, through the friendly aid of
d free press, that I have thus openly expressed my sincere
regret in having been unable to wait personally en each
ctor, and I request them to believe that the omission
on my part has proceeded from no want of due respect ter
them, Their zealous suppart, thus freely and disinterestly
given, adds to my debt of gratitude; and furnish me with an ad-
ditional stimulus, if I wanted, to increased exertion and steady
perseverance to thai strictly pure and independent course of
feeling, and of virtue, in which we have hitherto endeavoured
to walk and in which I trust I shall ever be enabled.to trade
I thank you for your pat • it, long, and orderly in-
dulgence which you bare bestowed o❑ Inc. I confidently
ianntnit my cause into your hands, and whether it be my
distinguished lot to be returned again to serve in Parlia-
ment, or withdrawn into the retirement of a private sta-
tion, the energies of my mind shall continue to be directed
o your service and that of my country, and neittier time
'tor circumstances will ever tfface the recollection of that
support, attachment, and esteem, which you have so often,
so generally, and so unceasingly manifested on my behalf.
—(immense cheering.)
Mr. ALLEN was received with gaeat disapprobation,
intermixed with cheers. His sentiment, (front his writings
and from his communications for the last six weeks with
the electors whom he bad been actively canvassing all that
time) were well known, and he had every reason to be
sangnioe from the kind feeling evinced towards him
,n all occasions,—(Laughter, cheers, and confusion.)
lie was a Reformer.—(Hear, hear.) He avowed it, because he
thought gradual amendment and gradual improvement were
wanted.—(Laughter, and great confusion.) He heard the name
of Dulwich College, called out, and upon that he would only say
that if he saw that the intentions of the Founder of that institu.
lion were not carried into effect, he would do his utmost to
see that they were. He should endeavour to I,llow, to a
certain extent, the line of conduct which Mr. Briscoe
had laid down for himself.—(Tremendous uproar.) As
the meeting seemed loath to hear him, he would not proceed
further, but merely state that nothing would equal the pleasure
he should feel on being elected one of the four members of the
county.—(Cries of " I dare say it would be great, but we wont
have you.")

Major BEAucLEKK came forward to address meet-
ing, but such was the yelling and uproar at one part of
Ihe room that be could not be beard. The High Sheriff
an‘i Mr. Briscoe in vain endeavoured to obtain any thing
like a hearing, and the uproar continuing io increase, with-
out much appearance of the Major being beard, our rc•
porters left the meeting.
