ings of the electors by exhibiting placards inscribed with
" Vote for the man who has struggled for your rights." He
would ask them'when he had struggled for their rights, especially
for the rights of the poor man. He had voted against the ballot,
and he had pocketed their money. lie had not even attendei
to his duty as the representative of the borough ; for at a
meeting of electors, which took place to petition agalfAt
Passing of the Sabbath Coercion Bill, et petition was en-
trusted to Sir W, Horne, and never presented.—( Groans
and hisses.) The same Pir W. Horne had insulted them last
Saturday at a meeting at Paddington, for in answer to a
question by Mr. Paton, he replied*" If I had you in any
other place but this, I would treat you as a football, and kick
you out."—( Great uproar.) As he had talked of kicking out,
e trusted the electors would kick him out. He tells us he did
his duty. Was he not paid for it as Attorney-General ? He was
ill° Reformer, and he has not struggled for your rights. He
ad become a Reformer in the same sense as Peel
and Wellington had, he had voted for that clause
of the Reform Bill by which three-fourths of the in-
habitants were deprived of the right of suffrago, While
it was his especial duty to take charge of every clause
as Attorney-General. He might have a good private charac-

a.here were no rotten boroughs for him to go to, it was true ;
but still Mr. Young might go to some distant borough, and
get into Parliament, and learn to become fit for the borough
of Marylebone. He (Mr. M.) would tell him, that he
knew nothing of the laws of his country, if he really
thought that the vestries had nothing to do with the
elections. He could if he had time give a list of the votes of
Sir Wm. Horne against the people. What was the first act
of the Tory Administration ?—Was it not blood ?—Look at
Ratheormac. Was not that massacre perpetrated by the ad-
vice of the Tories.—( Immense uproar.) ( A voice from the
erowd—" Will your friends support the interests of the work-
ing classes, and give every one a fair remuneration for hit
labour?") Ask the candidates themselves. They had the
cri ountry now looking at them, and if they did not return two
tried men to Parliament, they would be much to blame.

GREENWICH.

This Borough has entered into the election contest with
great spirit. The nomination was fixed for 10 o'clock, and as
early as 8 the people were all alive, and busking themselves in
the colours of their favourites.
The candidates are Mr. Barnard (the late member, and Mr.
Angerstein, in the reform interest. Mr. WolverleyAttwoo4,
son of Mr. M. Attwood, late Member for Whitehaven, stands
epon the Tory side. Mr. Barnard's colours are, as before, a
dark orange ; those of Mr. Angerstcin are light blue ; while
those of the tory are a blood-red, or crimson. From 9 o'clock
this morning the town was crowded by parties of all colours •
the blues, however, evidently predominated, while the buffs'
Came next; none with the crimson appeared without a shout
of derision. About 10 o'clock Mr. Barnard and his friends
proceeded to the hustings in front of the church in a number
of carriages, and was louly cheered as he went along ; he was
"followed by a long procession of his friends carrying a profu-
sion of flags with various devices, such as " Barnard and inde-
pendence," " Britons, strike home," &c. They took up their
position in front of the hustings. Next followed Mr. Mt
mood and the Tory Committee in the same manner also with a
profusion of flags. Their devices were " Attwoo,l and Reform
in corporation abuses," and others equally dez,elving. In about
half an hour they were followed by nr. Angerstein, who
walked to the hustings with a proce:dsion at his back of nearly
half a mile in length, all of thq persons in which wore his co-
lours. If all were electors and gave him their vote we should
think he was quite safe. He was received with the most
deafening cheers —he is decidedly the favourite. Before he
arrived there were several fights between the buff and crimson
Parties, in Which the latter got much the worst—several of
their largest and most lying flags were torn to pieces, a fate
Well deserved, for as far as we could see they were the ag-
gressors. The candidates having all taken their places on the
natings, the business was proceeded with.
The precept and writ, together with the Act against bribery
and corruption, having been read, and the oath administered
to
Mr. Fisher, the returning officer, that Gentleman came for-
ward, and requested the electors to give every Gentleman a
Patient and attentive hearing, and not to disgrace themselves
as they did at the last election.--( Cheers.)
Mr. ALEXANDER then came forward to propose E. G. Bar-
'lard, Esq. That Gentleman had come forward to request the
'ler-port of the electors of Greenwich, and, as an earnest for
receiving that support, he referred back to his conduct in
:Parliament since he had been returned there. He (Mr. A.)
aPpealed to the electors of Greenwich, whether Mr. Barnard
had not, during the two sessions he had been in Parliament,
acted less to the principles he professed at the last election;
supporting every thing that was calculated for the people's
gnod, and furthered the great "cause of Reform.—( Cheers.)
tie had supported Mr. Ilarnard at the last election, and as a
Constituent elector, I.le-felt himself bound to support him on the
Present occasion, He had faithfully supported the borough,
and the people, and he hoped they would never desert him.
A cry had been raised of had the Whigs done ?He
thought that question was fully answered by the great assem-
blage that was congregated that day. Had it not been for
them thr_ borough of Greenwich would never have been in a
condit4.oll to send Members to Parliament. He trusted that
the electors would do honour to themselves and their coun-
tq, by returning Mr. Barnard to Parliament..—( Cheers. )
Mr. MOLINE seconded the nomination of Mr. Barnard. It
'was necessary for him to say but little, but what he did say,
be could assure the electors, came from his heart. What was
the conduct of the present Government? Why, they had pro-
mised everything, but as yet done nothing but dissolved the
late Parliament.—( Hisses.) The country was in tint unsound
State, that the Great Duke of Wellington—( Laughter)—had
en obliged to come forward and fill God knew how many
P`aces.—( Laughter.) Now, this shelved him there was no
necessity for all these places, to pay the occupiers of which
e Working Bee was obliged to labour.—(Great cheering.)
The persons holding those places bad handles to their names
---,they were styled "
whator Duke,"—" Right
allHonour-
al)les," and God knows —( Laughter. ) Notwithstanding
this, he thought no more of them than he should of taking
:,..Pinch of snuff.—( Great laughter.) They filled no greater
'ace than himself, and had no better name.—( Laughter.)
14:11 was the situation in which the country was placed, that
were obliged, to send all the way to Rome for a gentle-
ato support the Duke of Wellington.—( Laughter.) The
resent Government had promised to do a great deal, but they
be done nothing.—( Hisses.) And for his own part, when
n changed their principles as they did their clothes, he
could have no confidence in them.—(Great cheering.)
"'eat bad the present Ministry told the people ? why, when
?at of office, that no Reform was required, but when
"a, that some little was necessary—( Hisses.) He trusted the
People would not believe them, for he could assure them the

doubt of it. Had he (Mr. H.) had his will, there would have
