GENERAL ELECTIONS

IN THE COUNTRY.

ESSEX (SOUTH) NOMINATION.

A special county court was held yesterday, in front of the
Town-hall, Chelmsford, for the purpose of nominating the
members for this division of the county. The friends and sup-
porters of the three candidates paraded the town from an early
hour, accompanied by bands and banners. The Blue party
was very numerous, and displayed some very tasty and well-
designed flags.
Shortly after eleven o'clock the proceedings of the day com-
menced. The usual formalities having been gone through,
and the High Sheriff having opened the business of the meeting,
Mr. DAVIS presented himself, and after a short and pithy
speech, called on the freeholders to give the King's Ministers
all they asked—a fair trial, and to return men who would
support his confidential advisers. He concluded by proposing
Robert Westley Hall Dare, Esq., as a fit and proper person
to represent that Division of the County of Essex in Parlia-
ment.—( Cheers.)
Mr. PALMER seconded the nomination. He (after some
preliminary remarks) said he was addressing an agricultural
community. They were all aware of the incessant attempts
that had been made to secure the free importation of foreign
corn into this country ; and they, of all men, must be capable
of appreciating the effect it would have upon the agricultural
interest. If the late Ministers were to be recalled to power,
they would inevitably carry this object into effect,—in fact,
they had already offered, for the conciliation of one great inte-
rest, to allow the free importation of meal, biscuit, and every
article of provision. For a man who would protect their inte-
rests in this respect, and who would protect their interests of
every description, he referred them to his friend Mr. Dare.—
( Cheers.) Where they could find greater ability—where
could they find greater talent—where could they find greater
good will ?—( Cheers, and cries of "No where I") He cordi-
ally seconded the nomination.
Mr. COTTON presented himself for the purpose of nominat-
ing Thomas William Bramston, Esq. He prefaced the no-
mination by a long rambling speech, the greater part of
which appeared quite unintelligible to every person present.
He was an advocate for reform—(Oh !)—but he would not
reform institutions by pulling them down. His object was
improvement, not annihilation. On the degree of protection
afforded to the farmers and the agricultural interest gene-rally,
must they all depend for that liberty and independence which
was so essential a part of the British Constitution. Who was
so likely to pay a necessary degree of attention to those inte-
rests as a gentleman conversant with agricultural pursuits,
well acquainted with all the regulations that affected the far-
mers, and having a deep interest in the prosperity of the
country ?—( Cheers. )
Mr. ABDY seconded the nomination. Mr. Bramston had
been born among them; they had watched him from his birth :
he was a sound and anxious reformer of every real and proved
abuse; and he hoped they would return him as their repre-
sentative in Parliament.--( Cheers.)
JOHN DISNEY, Esq., then presented himself for the purpose
of proposing another candidate, who professed principles they
had supported all their lives, which he trusted they would still
continue to support, and which they would now have an oppor-
tunity of seconding and concurring in. The present Adminis-
tration had come in upon a promise of carrying what they
termed reform ; but which certainly had not been called so
that day. When the late Administration were in office, they
took off five millions of taxes just the amount of the malt
Cheers.) He had waited in
occa-
sionvain on the present
hear the word "malt;" he had not heard it, and he
told them
plainly that if they did not now return some Mem-
ber who would vote for the repeal of that duty, it was their
own fault, and they would have nobody to blame but them-
selves. There were three other words which were most im-
portant to the existence of themselves, their families, and their
labourers ; and yet he had not heard them pronounced. They
were—" Commutation of tithes." These two great questions
must be settled. Now, with regard to the Church, he begged
to say that the clergymen need be under no alarm on his
account, for he had always advocated their being supported
as men of education, religion and piety.--( Hear.) If, how-
ever, one method more odious than another could possibly be
devised for that purpose, it was that which was now established
by law.--( Cheers.) Where was the Christian charity—where
was the common sense—of allowing a man to go into his
neighbour's orchard, and take away his tenth peach, or his tenth
lamb ? What was the use of their sending men to Parliament
because they supported this or that Administration ? Let
them send men who would support them—them, the electors
of Essex.—(Great cheering.) He would show them such
a man. Mr. Brarnston's great-grandfather might have demanded
their suffrages on that spot one hundred years ago, but he
would present to them a candidate whose 'family had been
connected with the county seven hundred years ago, who sup-
ported the principles of just freedom, and civil and religious
liberty, and who had sprung from a class to which alone they
could look with confidence for security.—(Continued cheers.)
Throwing aside any personal prejudices that the transac-
tions of the last two months might be supposed to have
excited in his (Mr. Disney's) mind, he proposed to them
Champion Edward Branfill. ( Great cheering from the
Yellows.) His party were not afraid of avowing that
they advocated Reform ; they gloried in what had been
done—( Hear, hear)—and they hoped reform would pro-
ceed in its resistless course, until the Church was put at ease
with the people.—(Great cheering.) It was not at ease with
the people at present ; it created- perpetual quarrels, dissen-
sions, and heart-burnings.—(" No," from the Blues.) No !
Let them look to the very hall before which they were then
standing. How often, assize after assize, did juries congre-
gate together—for what ?To determine tithe questions be-
tween the parsons and the people. Now, they heard a good
deal about a " crisis." Why—why in the world were they met
there at all ? Crisis ! Who created the crisis ?—( Cheers.)
The country was going on in a state of peace and quiet. That
state of repose was disturbed, and the cup of comfort was
dashed from their lips. The King had appealed to the people ;
he had directed his Ministers to send him another Parliament.
Let those Ministers answer to their Sovereign for the Parlia-
ment that would be returned.—(Loud cheers.) Let them
take care that they did not return to Parliament any one who
would misrepresent them. After pronouncing a high eulo-
gium on the character and talents of the candidate he pro-
posed, and entering at some length into the tithe question,
Mr. Disney concluded by nominating Mr. Branfill.
JOSEPH PATTISON, Esq., seconded the nomination.
Mr. H. DARE was received with enthusiastic cheering. It
ill became a man to speak of himself, but there were occasions
which might be considered as exceptions from the general
rule, and he thought not only that this was one, but that it
was an occasion on which he could stand boldly forward, and
declare that, to the best of his ability, he had invariably dis-
charged the duty which they had sent him to perform in
Parliament. He stood before them that day to yield an ac-
count of his stewardship ; which must, however, necessarily be
sataiusibes
jhietcocrviottrahnLaws,
sa,d one. He had stated that he would, by every means in
his power, oppose the principles of free trade, which, to what-
ever branch of industry they had been applied, had been pro.
ductive of the utter prostration of the master manufacturers,
and had spsrhaebaeduela cloud of pauperism over all other classes.
He had also told them that he would resist any alteration in

such alteration. He had presented' many petitions on the sub-
ject--some drawn up by himself ; and in so doing lie had al-
ways expressed his opinions as strongly as he eould. He
had told there—not as a pledge because lie never gave them a
pledge,
and
he stood there at that moment to tell them that
ever would—that lie would join with others in endeavour-
ing to effect an alteration of the present system of taxation,
by which the pressure upon all classes might be made more

Whig Government and their supporters voted against the mo-
tion, while he ( Mr. Hall Dare), the Tory, the Conservative,
voted in its favour. He had not voted for the partial repeal of
the malt tax, because he was satisfied that while it occasioned
a diminution in the revenue, it would be of no advantage to
the community, but he spoke in favour of its total repeal.—
( Renewed cheers.) He assured them that, highly as he es-
teemed the honour of being one of their representatives on the
last occasion—doubly grateful as he was for the reception he
had met with that day, by the great concourse of friends who
had escorted him into the town, nothing but the consciousness
that the constitution was in great danger, and that every man
was called upon to use his best exertions for his country's benefit
could have again induced him to come forward. They bad ar-
rived at a most important crisis. They had been asked who
created it ? He replied—that wretched remnant of a Whig
Ministry, who, deserted by all that was valuable in its original
composition, was obliged at last, in its miserable struggles for
existence, to cast itself into the arms of the Destructives.—
(Loud cheers from the Blues.—The epithet " wretched rem-
nant" appeared to give inexpressible satisfaction to one indivi-
dual in the vicinity of the speaker, who from this moment to
the conclusion of the proceedings, soliloquized audibly at
every pause, " Wretched remnant ! Ha, ha, ha ! Oh Lord !
I shall never forget it !") Under their auspices that constitu-
tion which Englishmen had been brought up to revere as their
first birth-right—that constitution which had earned for Eng-
land the first place among the nations of the earth that con-
stitution which, in the beautiful language of 'Mr. Canning,
had been the envy and admiration of surrounding nations,
but the peculiar boast and privilege of our own--had been
gradually frittered away : it now stood trembling in the
balance; and would infallibly kick the beam, if demagogues,
assisted by that wretched remnant, were to succeed in tramp-
ling under foot the King's prerogative, and dictating to him
who should be his Ministers.--( Loud cheers.) If they
elected him (Mr. H. Dare) it was his object to give
a full, fair, but at the same time independent support,
to his Majesty's Government, in maintaining which he
sought to maintain, the King's prerogative. It was essential
for their liberties that the King's prerogative should be main-
tained, because they might rest assured that if the balance of
their blessed Constitution were once destroyed, their liberties,
freedom, and franchises, would very soon follow in its wake.
After some further observations on the subject of tithes, and
expressly declaring that he was friendly to a just and equitable
commutation, the Hon. Gentleman concluded by bearing tes-
timony to the high character and ability of his opponent,
Mr. Branfill.—(Three hearty cheers were given for Mr. Hall
Dare. )
Mr. BRAMSTON then stood forward. He observed that they
had been told the Reform Bill would confer the greatest bles-
sings upon the country, and yet what relief had the farmers
derived from it, but mere expressions of sympathy when the
Marquis of Chandos brought forward his motion on the subject
of agricultural distress, which the late Government had op.
posed ?—( Cheers.) With respect to the Malt-tax and the
Commutation of Tithes, he entertained the same opinions as
Mr. Hall Dare, and he hoped he should have an opportunity
of supporting those principles in Parliament.—(" You shall.")
With these sentiments he should vote for the repeal of the
Malt-tax, more especially when he considered that three-quar-
ters of it came out of the pocket of the farmers of the southern
and eastern counties. With regard to the Tithe question,
although he had not studied the subject so deeply as Mr.
Branfill, whose intimate acquaintance with it was well known,
still he would support a commutation on fair, honourable, and
considerate grounds. He was firmly attached to the Esta-
blished Church, and anxious both to support its existence and
well-being, and prevent its being insidiously undermined—
( Cheers.) He was ready to advocate measures for the cor-
rection of any real abuses which time had created ; but, be-
lieving as he did, that the existence of an Established Church
was necessary for the maintenance of the Constitution of
King, Lords, and Commons, he was determined to support it.
—( Cheers.) With regard to the grievances of the Dissenters,
he would support any measure for their removal which would
not impair the security of the Established Church. He thought
that the church-rate question too required revision, but he
would only adhere to the principles laid down for the settle-
ment of the question in the last Parliament. He was opposed
to the admission of Dissenters to the Universities, because it
involved an extensive alteration of all their academical dis-
cipline, and an abandonment of what members of the Church
of England believed to be principles of their faith. He would
not trespass further on their attention, as he should have seve-
ral other opportunities of addressing them—( Loud cheers.)
Mr. BRANFILL next presented himself to the meeting, and
was extremely well received. His sole public claim was, that
he came forward on the principles of the Reform Bill--( Loud
cheers.) He did not wish for a moment to put his own merits
in competition with those of his brother candidates , he would
only say that he was as well-known in his neighbourhood as
they were in their's.—(cheers.) He had told them he was a
Reformer ; he would now tell them why—because he was
deeply convinced that the land in which he lived had been
grossly misgoverned and plundered for a series of years. He
would say nothing derogatory to the character of his brother
candidates. Mr. Hall Dare he knew was a most honourable,
a most intelligent, and a most excellent man—(Loud cheers.)
[Mr. Dare here acknowledged the compliment in a most
cordial and friendly manner.] If he could not say as much
for the other candidate, it was only because he had not the plea-
sure of knowing him so well. Yet he must remind them that
they openly came forward, the professed supporters of those
Ministers who had set their faces, like a rock, for years and
years past, against the Reform Bill, and the measures to
which it was likely to give birth.—( Great cheering.) He was
not a stranger among them, and notwithstanding the misrepre-
sentations that had been industriously circulated, he was
not an enemy to his Church and his King.—( Cheers and cries
of " Oh.") Why, who in that assembly was the avowed enemy
to his Church and his King ? Was there any such man there?
If so, let him stand forth—( No, no.) " Will any man here,"
continued Mr. Branfill (producing the placard in which he was
designated as the avowed enemy of Church and King), Will
any man here avow himself the author of this unfounded
calumny ?"
Mr. BARTLETT—I will. (Great confusion, and cries of
" You villain, you libeller, you liar !")
Mr. BaaNmt—Then I say stand forth slanderer, and re-
ceive, in the virtuous indignation of this assembly of English-
men, the meed that is justly due to so malicious and senseless
a slander.—( Cheers.) He should like to have it denied that
this placard emanated from a clergyman.--( No, no 1) He
was very glad to hear it. Mr. Hall Dare was pledged to the
commutation of tithes, and the repeal of the malt tax.—
(Loud cries of " No !")
Mr. HALL DARE begged to set his Hon. Friend right. He
conscientiously thought tithes ought to be abolished, and it
was his intention to vote for their abolition, but he never would
give a pledge upon that or any other subject.
Mr. BRANFILL—His Hon. Friend would not stand pledged
to the repeal of the malt tax. Now, if they would undertake
to return him (Mr. Branfill) he would--( Cheers and laughter)
because he considered it most pernicious and unjust. Pos-
terity would not believe the fact, that the productive classes
were taxed so inordinately, and so out of all proportion, for
the support of wealthy Aristocrats. With regard to tithes,
without seeking the overthrow of the Church, he was for an
equitable commutation. Mr. Hall Dare had said, in some
of his addresses, that he considered the right of the tithe-
owner to be as good as his own right to his own freehold.
Now, he (Mr. Branfill) considered that, under existing cir-
cumstances, the tithe-owner had no right to a tenth part of
the produce of the land ; the expense of cultivation having
been increased by every sort of direct and indirect taxa-
tion. He would prove this against all the tithe-owners in Eng-
land, supported by the best advocates they could obtain for
money. Now it gave him great pain to see the labourers of
the country unemployed. He would rather have his estate cut
to pieces than see them wandering houseless and forlorn—
( Cheers)---but if he laid out a hundred pounds upon his
estate—not because it required it, but merely to give employ-
ment to the unemployed labourers, was it not an atrocious
robbery for the tithe owner to claim one-tenth of the produce
which that money had raised ?—( Loud cheers, and a cry of
" No.") There were a great many gentlemen in the crowd
with blue ribands in their hats, who he was quite sure would
not display them, if they were not painfully conscious of being
indebted to the tithe-owner.—( Laughter.) He had been
charged with being an advocate for the separation of Church
and State. He wished to explain his sentiments on this
point. He wished to reform the Church, and he knew no
better way of doing so than by breaking off its political con-
nection with the State. lie was a Destructive of the blots on
our Constitution; but he admired and respected the Constitu-
tion itself as much as any man present. He advised one of
the opposite candidates to retire; expressed his determination
to keep the poll open to the last; declared his opposition to a
free trade in corn ; and strongly deprecated the Currency 13W
introduced by the present Prime Minister—the effect! -01 which
had been so deplorable, and by which, after

NOTTINGHAM.
SIR JOHN HOBHOUSE'S SPEECH.

- ---
The following is the substance of the speech delivered by Sir
John Hobhouse, to the electors of Nottingham, on the day of
the nomination :

Sir JOHN HOMIOUSE was loudly cheered. After some in-
troductory remarks, he proceeded to state the measures of Re-
form which were in contemplation by the late Ministry. It
was our intention, he said, on the very first day of the ses-
sions, to have announced certain reforms, the nature of which
I think it but right I should detail to you ; and first, I should
have proposed an entire reform in the church of Ireland—
(Cheers)—a reform which would have cut at the root of the
great abuses which would have so materially contributed to
render that country a by-word to the nations of the earth, and
to have overwhelmed it with distress.—(Cheers.) The next
Bill we intended to propose was a Bill to supersede the Irish
