lies, but oat will ever speak fairly and openly my
sentiments without fear or restraint --should you think ptoper to

Lord ;Artrisen—Gentlemen, I cannot, like the last Gentle-
man who addressed Out lay claim to yovr support on account of
having had the honour of representing you .Isefore, but an old fa-
mily interest his existed fer a number of years, and. I have always
been desirous of renewing it. lam no adventurer, Gentlemen ;
nr ons who comes amongst you to create a division of partied.
It is at the request of a numerous and respectable body of your
Electora, I appear before you, and that requisition WM signed by
parties now supporting another interest.
W. D. Tatum-ix, Esq.—Gentlemen, lam anxious to make
few observations—when I have dune so, I shall depend on your
acquittal of any thing dishonourable towards my Lord Barnard ;
his Lordship has dwelt at considerable length on having received
an invitation with assurances of support—l do acknowledge that
I was one of those who sent that invitation ; 'hilt it is indispensa-
bly requisite to remind the parties, and to state to you, what hap-
pened subsequently to that invitation, which was dated 28th Jan.
1622. His Lordship was fully.apprisea of the nature of the in-
vitation, and why, and by whom it was sent--.-toe reason it *as
sent, I stated some short time. since, when I had the honour of
eddresting you before—it was done to rescue from the fangs of a
few, the power of returning Members to Parliament for this town
—and it was sent by the Independent party of this Corporation.
His Lordship after this wrote to enquire whether he might not call
on Mr. Courtenay—he )vas answered certainly not. It was by
no means the desire of the party invitingitim to become a Repre-
sentative for the Borough--.-.that he should act wills the parties who
were averse to the measures of the party with whom he was act-
ing in conjunction, Lord Barnard did rail on Mr. Courtenay in
opposition to what had been stated, and an other occasions his
Lordship did identify himself with the party by whom he wasnow
supported, end had in consequence received the sentiments of the
ploy who invited, him, which letter was sent. 21st Dee. 1824: We
should, Oentlrtren,,heve been dupes, indeed, if we continued to sup-
port one, who had on set eral occasions sided with our adversaries.
I will. with your. permission, read to you a copy of the Letter
sent, swine the teatimes or the independent party for recanting the
former promises of support to hle Lordship. 1 hays-talicady.
gelato:um, very briefly :mated the principles on which our conduit
was grounded.---(Here the worthy Magistrate read a very long,
candid, open, explicit, and adniirably written letter, which was
received with much applause.)—This is the whole statetbent of
the case; you are now in possession of every particular relating
,to it—and I confidently presume, that I have emerged from that
cloud in which I was •eriveloped, by the partial statement with
which you were furnished by my Lord Barnard. Gentlemen, I.
am actuated by no private feelings..-A beg to assure you that for
my own part, I. cannot be brought te view it in any thing like an
imprittint light, any family interest.-1 again repeat it that I
know, and value hitt one interest, and that is the interest of my
Country,---on this feeling Alone I have iteted, and whether lan-
guished or victorious, I shall live the retiefietion of knowing and
feeling that I have done my duty on the present otealimi to this
town-, and the country at large.
C. B. Baenwtsr, Eeq.—Gentlemen, 1 riot to eildeesi a very
respectable part, amid Unmerous body of my fellow-euMecte, slid I
gannet do so without feeling most sensibly, and thanking you sin-
cerely, for the very fluttering reception 1 have- experienced shine 1.

steadfastly to Lord Barnard,) and am hitt exercising one of the
rights of an Englishman in appeariog before you as I now do. I
