who had come sympathy for the sufferings which' they hare so
long unjustly endured, • Such a man have they ilium! in Mr,
Pillow; and, accordingly, there never was a more irresistible
determination manifested, on The part of any body of ebsitors, to
room the object of their unsolicited-choice to Parliament. The
town of Guildford, and all the roads leading thereto, have all this

day presented a scene of unprecedented bustle. The voters en

lha the part of the landed Aristocracy, and the Church and
tit men, the utneeit coneternetion has been exhibited at this
proePeet of Mr. Pallinerle election. The extent to which 'their
fears have carried them, may -be seen from a statement which ha 3
passed currently here to-day, namely, that they have subscribed
the mum of 7,000/. to forward Mr. Stunner's return. .•

from 'Upshot, in.the interest of the Duke of Gloucester.
The following is a specimen of the poetical zeal and ability
',Odell the occasion has veiled forth :
THE " PALMER."
~ • ,
See the sage hermit, by mankind somo.rco,
With all the ardour of a *Mint inspired ;'
In meek humility his smiling visage drat,
lie, tore, by more than man's approval blest.
His virtues are his pride ; alas ! one vice
Makes all hie gewgaws of no price.
High in demand, though lowly in pretence, •
Of all hi* conduct, this, the genuine sense.
His works, his modesty, his-zeal allowed:--
Yon think him humble, but he', devilish prowl.
No! The mules morals are exact. Whit then'
'Tis his ambition to be seen of 'Men..
You know his dwelling, a high-*Way side retreat,
You pass it ere you enter Kingstou-stre.et ;
Here prieoned, in a portlier, Song and small, '
Like bottled wtiaps upon es southern wall,
The hermit and his friends, quietly compressed,
Hatched a great plot, that we hod never guessed
•• Up I :Pope of Rome! send Im•th a Papal Bull!
And place your favourite highest on the poll. •
Oh, glorious Leo, St. Peter's** chosen vicar'
Make your dull voters stir a little *wicker—
Or else your favourite, driven from his station,
Will have no-chance to save the &fling nation !

specting the Slavery Question. SOMO fellows, chained together,
with their fuses blackener!, have been paraded through the town
ander the Imhof the drivers, bearing placards, with the words,
" Massa Milliner, me no understand you." But the goad people
of Surrey know full well, that next to the zeal which Mr. Voll-
mer has ever evinced in resisting their local oppressors, there is
no part of his character, which so fearlessly challenges inquiry, as
his humane. exertions tm behalf of the unfortunite Negroes-41e

Mr. Batscur—For the honour and character of Mr. Pallmer,
I have often pledged myeelf. For his honour and eharaeter
will stake my life,—(Cheere.)—lt is quite true that on Thursday
last wine Gentlemen waited on me with a requisition to request
Mr. Palinter to come forward, but I pledge my honour that that
was the first time I ever heard the subject mentioned, or had ever
entertained an opinion on the subject. On public grounds alone
have I supported Mr. Pannier, because I feel he can serve that
county, which from my infancy I have been taught to love.—
(Cheeri.)—Mr. Sumner says, that the Landed Gentlemen will
nut let his pocket suffer. I know not how large the subscription
is which has been raised for the Hon. Member, but this I know,
in cannot buy the voice of the people.—(Great cheers.)—The
votes of the people in a free country are above all price.—
(Cheers.)—With respect to the Catholic Question, Alr. Pannier

Mr. tipster a..—To a question' put in general terms, what is
your opinion on the Catholic question ? '
Mr.Pst.Lseele answered, that most depend on the cireurnstances
under which the question is, brought forward. • '
He was asked, would he *meant to concede to Catholics seats
in the Legislature? Will you give them admission to every Office,
except the two Lord Chancellors of England and Ireland, and a
few other offices? I now repeat the question.
The Rev. Mr. Onetow said it was impossible that a gentleman
of Mr. Pannier's talents and education should not have made up
his mind on this important question ; and he now put it again to
the Hon. Gentleman. Will he answer what is the bias of his
n mid on the subject?
Mr. Pa Lestent—l will, Sir, frankly declare that the present
bias of my mind it against the Catholics.—(Chters.)---But cir-

ance to the community, until my judgment is petfectly satisfied,
after the most anxious inquiry, as to the rectitude of the opinion.
Now; Sir, arc you answered ?—(Great and general cheering.)
The Rev. Mr. OrTsr.ow declared he was fully satisfied.

The Meeting was then dissolved, and Mr. Pannier was followed
to his house by the hearty che7rs of the Meeting. it is uow a
most general opinion, that his frank and open avowal of his can•
did opinion will insure his return.
