NORTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE

ELECTION.

Northampton, Nov. 20, 1835.
The canvass on the part of the Liberals, in favour of
Mr. Hanbury, has been everywhere attended with great
success ; and when everything is considered—the addition
of men of wealth and influence to the cause of Reform—
the popularity, amongst the farmers in particular, of Mr.
Hanbury—that he is a tried, and has been found a useful
and an honest man in Parliament=-the dislike which is ge-
nerally entertained by the farmers towards Mr. Maunsell,
the bigotted advocate of the Church as it is, and the firm
supporter of every measure that is patronised by the Tory
clique—when all these things are considered, I firmly be-
lieve that there can be little doubt of success.
It is the opinion of almost every one that the Tory can li
-
didate could have done nothing more ruinous t 3 his self-
advancement—nothing more likely to lose him the good
opinion of all who entertain respect for private worth and
a good public character, than by issuing his manifesto,
before the death of Lord Milton was scarcely known,
where the Tory candidate resided. That feeling
cannot be better evidenced than by the fact of
the Tory's conduct being made a matter of public
censure in Peterborough, within two days after the arrival
of the melancholy news of Lord Milton's death in that
city. In my last I stated that it had been the subject of
an almost overwhelming gratulation with the Tories that
" the Radicals" could not find a candidate. I record, with
pleasure, a few of the proceedings of the Reformers below.
They will shew that though this has been termed 'one of
the most Conservative Counties in the kingdom, the people
still stand good chances of success, when the object is to
defeat a man entertaining Conservative principles. The
secession of Lord Strathaven, the son of the Earl of
Aboyne, from the Tories, brings with it an interest that
must make the Tories shrink again.
On Monday last Mr. Harisbury successfully canvassed
this borough. He was attended by Mr. Bouverie, Col.
Hanbury, and several other gentlemen.
During Mr. Hanbury's canvass at Oundle, yesterday, he
was joined by Sir Cullen Smith, Bart. and the Hon.
Robert Vernon Smith, M. P. for this Borough. These
two gentlemen both addressed a meeting of the electors
that was held there, and oxpressed themselves with great
satisfaction at the success which had as yet attended their
canvass. I shall, perhaps, send you a further account of
their proceedings to-morrow.
When the deputation was sent from the Central Com-
mittee, held at Oundle, to Mr. Hanbury., information was
given to Sir Culling Smith, and he instantly proffered his
services. He accordingly commenced active operations on
Tuesday morning, and visited several places.
At Newborough a successful canvass was reported in the
afternoon, when a large party, amongst whom were Lord
Strathaven, Dr. Skrimshire, and a great number of influ-
ential gentlemen, attended at the Talbot Inn.
Sir CULLING SMITH addressed the meeting, and said he
came there for the express purpose of promoting the return
of a Member of the same principles as the present Govern-
ment, and he could not understand what the Tories wanted
to govern for, unless merely to get into place, for all reforms
would be carried into effect, all abuses remedied,justice ad-
ministered, and burdens equalized, by Lord Melbourne's
Ministry. He found in canvassing, the Tories had only one
string to their bow—that Mr. Maunsell was a friend to the
farmer ; but they did not vouchsafe one reason to back their
assertion. He could not tell on what grounds any Tory
could pretend to be the farmer's friend. Had Sir R. Peel
relieved them from the Malt-tax, tithes, rates, or anything.
else ? No. Now he was aware that the present Govern -4
ment meditated affording the agriculturist relief in local
taxation, which was, if anything, of more importance than
parliamentary taxation ; and at present he knew of nothing
that required so much correcting as county rates, over which
the rate-payers had no control whatever. Great reforms had
been obtained, but there ;vas much yet to be amended ; and
he trusted the voice of the Commons would induce the Upper
House next session to take a more conciliatory course, more
in unison with the anxious wishes of the people : if they did
not, he was of opinion they would have to make much
greater sacrifices than if a timely concession were adopted ;
he should exert himself, and lie trusted every one else
would also, in bringing to a successful termination the con-
test in which they were engaged. The Honourable Ba-
ronet .was loudly. cheered.
When Lord STRATHAVEN arose, he was greeted with
vehement applause. He said he supposed they were sur-
prised to see him there ; but he would tell them he never
had thought himself a Tory, although brought up in the
hot bed of Toryism, among people who taught him to
regard a Whig as a traitor, and as somebody who
would play old Gooseberry with them all.—(Great laugh-
ter and cheers.) He had always been favourable to
reform, though brought in for the Tory interest at
Huntingdon. When they found him voting liberally they
were enraged, and at the next election would not sup-
port him. The Whirrs did not think him liberal enough ;
so, between two stools, he fell to the ground—(Cheers)—
but he thought himself more liberal every day, and
saw less reason to be afraid of Reform—(Cheers)—for
he did not think it consistent for a clergyma in Ireland to
enjoy a large income without having a soul to preach to
and he was for giving every man a chance by education of
knowing better than to cut each other's throat, which the
present system seemed designed to perpetuate in Ireland.
Sir C. SMITH again rose, and explained the injustice and
cruelty of the Church government in Ireland ; and gave
the sinecure clergy of the Cathedral some severe raps,
comparing them to the Rev. Joseph Pratt, of Buten, for
their conduct, and inquiring what religion there was in the
Cathedral's empty benches? or in the dislike shown by its
officers to all schools that were not conducted by teachers
of the Establishment ?
Mr. ATKINSON, Dr. SKILIMSHIRE, and Mr. WHITWELL
also addressed the meeting, showing much enthusiasm, and
they separated with a lively determination to convert or
conquer the Tories, as Sir Culling Smith expressed a wish
to have a little discussion with them.
On Saturday last Mr. Maunsell was in the Peterborough
Market-hill, and met with so many refusals as to be irri-
tated, particularly when some of his followers were charged
with canvassing, at Glinton, under false pretences.
