PEEBLES AND SELKIRK.

On Saturday afternoon Sir John Murray of Phi-
liphaugh, one of the candidates for the represen-
tation of the united counties of Peebles and Selkirk,
addressed a meeting of the old and new electors
of Innerleithen—Mr. Miller, of Leithen, in the
chair. Sir John, in the course of his speech, denied
that the country was indebted to the Tories for the
Reform Bill, and said it was the work of the Oppo-
sition. As to the effect the Bill had on the united
counties, he said that Peebles and Selkirk had been
conjoined expressly for the purpose of making a
safe seat for his hon. opponent. Ho had not the
slightest doubt, however, that these counties would
provide a safe scat for the Liberals if the faggot
votes were excluded; for the time had gone by
when the tenantry would listen to any dictation,
and they would think for themselves. If the assi-
milation of the county and burgh franchise were
effected, the counties would be able, in spite of the
faggot voters, to return to Parliament the man of
their choice for many years to come. On the mo-
tion of Mr. Duncan, S.S.C., Edinburgh, Sir John
Murray was declared to be a fit and proper person
to represent the united counties in Parliament.
