Mr. Hum. addressed the freeholders from the bench. He said,
that as no other of the Candidates was previa, he should address
them but for a very short time. Whatever might be thought of
his pretensionit to represent the County of Somerset, he, for one, •
felt perfectly satisfied at the result, of this day's poll. Certainly •
never had an election for a great bounty been attended by such a
paucity of numbers, on the fifth day's polling, as appeared upon
the books on this celebrated occasion, He could easily ac-
etemt kw the circumstance. His friends came when they
pleased, but his opponents' had to encounter all the difficul-
ties of forcing the inclinations and degrading the spirit of their
dependents.
_He hail heard of various instances of a remarkable
nature, with respect to this system of voting upon compulsion
against his cause. Many of the electors, upon inentliming to
their employers that they would vote for either of the old Ment-
hers, provided, they' were allowed to give one vote for Hunt, were
told that they had better stay at home. • •
A respectable Fanner in the hotly of the Court said, "That is
the fad, I knew; of my own kaiowleslge) several instances of the
kind." •

Mx. newt' said, the inference to Ins drawn front ihis observa-
tion was obvious. lie had heard that a far Mer, who held land
of Mr. Stuckey, WWI told that, if he voted for Hunt, 1w should
not stay much longer on the estate ; and that the manly reply
that was given was, " That it Mr.
,Stuckey does not like it, he
may farm the estate himself as soon as he picasiN."—(Cheers and
clapping of hands.)
Stucxr.t.—N'ime him, name him. It is not the fact.

111 E. Iluarr.---." No. I'll out name him. I'll not dm* down
the Vengeance of thite jtiokiee upon any poor fellow."---(Cheers.)
He regretted that neither of the old Alembere was present, as he
had something to say whiult was applicable to their condition.__
He would not take advantage of their absence, but he would, re.
peat what he had often said betbre—when they were in the flottse
of Commons they totally disregarded the petitions anti prayers of
their conStituents. lie meant. nothing disrespectful to either of
them personally, but duriiig the whole of the time they repro-
Seated that county, they nimt grossly and abominably fltisrepre-
suited re, anal laughter.),—Never, 'taring his
experience and he had closely watched them, had he heard of
Mot ocea;titin in' WWII they .had advoCated the interests of the
county, or shown the least disposition to benefit any part of the
community—(Cries-Of n No, but they advocated their own ;"
and laughter. ).

Mr. Hu NT. —Yea. It was to that point 'the?: zeal was directed.
He congratidated the 'minty upon the trod humour which now
ecemed universally to prevail ; and he also congratulated it upon
the preparations which his friends were making for the battle.—
(Laughter and chmrs.)—llit freeholders were WvitV beginning to
gird on' their swords, and. preparing eekiiest for the contest in
which they were to be engageditt 'thee latter end of the next week.
—(Laughter.)—lt was the %pt.,. of all the men of independent
feeling in the county, that the battle should be decided in the teeth
of Mr. Vincent Stecttey,- who, he was glad to see, was present,
and OM tlignikl. the 267 voters for Hunt by declaring they had
disgraced themselves, and were dishonest men.
9v/our-.-fro every one else thinka.*(Cheers and
laughter.)

A Pinner In the body of the Court.-4 don't think in and
know hir-O, only by hie odium. • •
Howe.—" Look at that man who • euntradicti you, Mr.
Str-ekey, by a reference to my public' conduct. It is foOrteen
years since that man first favoured ore with his vote at Bristol.
I have •no acquaintances with hint, but toe addressed we this morn-
ing, and told me that hoverer lived at Newport in Wales, and that
he crossed the *Ater sod walked titty miles to give an hottest vote
for trie....(Llllii )—T h ve was WO MOD y ofilishou 11;4 ty• I
should likoto ete any instance of devotion from any • indieidual to
either of the other candidates. At all events this proven that my
frienda ire not ail rogues. slut Mr. Stuckey has a loop-hole.
fro save thentianOther name-opour -deluded- creatures! As to
'esteicity, I would place the meanest ofrosy oilers against Mr.•
'stuckey, without apprehension that the former would sink in the
tale ofintellect.—(Laughter.)—Of those who had voted for both
of the other candidates I shallsiarntithing. All voters ought to be
illOWeiLtkect„:o4 ormaions-uf thickind as •,they.pleased, accord-
ing to the dictates of their.consciencea, without being insulted or
intimidated. Some may think well of me; some may think well
of Mr. Dickinson ; some of Sir Thomas Lethbridge; and some
may think well -even of Mr. Stuckey.— (Laughter, and
hisses, and applause.)...-Let every moan exercise his judgment
upon the •COmparbion, and I think that, humble at my m-
ealtime are, my sense of liberty, my knowledge of the means
'of fully achieving it, anti toy abhoriette,e of thole tyranni-
cal slaves who are daily endeavouring to shackle it, place me
infinitely above my competitors in those qualifications, which it
is necessary to pomeen in order to represent the opinions of ten
thousand people.".:.-(Loud cheers and biases. )—Mr. Hunt then
made an allusion to the conduct of the electors Of Surrey' in
throwing out Mr. liolme Sumner. "'That gentleman," said he, "is
the prototype of Sir Thomas Lethbridge—the advocate of all the
intolerant ae.ii oppressive measures that ever were proposed dur-
ing his. adjourn in Parliament; the friend of taxation ; the hitter
"4 determined foe to every thing calculated to advance the con-
dition of society. He is gone, gone, gone. Ho is kicked out,
my friefids, and I trust that in a few days you will kick out Sir
Thomas Lethbridge, in like manner—(Lattgliter, and cries of
" Hunt for ever," and hisses. )—Yes, Sumner is gone for ever.
The arbitrary and vexatious Magistrate, the rtoolute adversary
of those principles which admitted and established the right of
all men to worship find in their own way; the stern and Mao-
lent supporter of those who scouted economy, retrenchment, and
reform, is departed beforp the breath of an insulted county. Let
this be an example to you." (Cheers and hiseei.)
From the Crowd—" Aye, he is gone, and so shall leather
broaches....-(Roars of laughter and hisses.)
Mr. Hoax..-." Yes, with the blessing of God, leather breeches
shall go."—(Continued laughter).—Mr. Hunt then thanked the
250 honest electors who haul polled for him. He had, he said,
heard that a joke was to be played off upon him to-day, which he
hoped would not be held back. Ile liked to see some spirit of
the sort during an election, and could enjoy a
,joke or a squib,
whether let off at him or any other of the candidates. The elec-
tion was getting dull, perhaps as Sir Thomas Lethbridge had
ceased to give him 'the opportunity of showing the county a little
more of the talents of their old representative; and he hoped that
something would be dente to enliven it.—(Here a person in the
gallery held ant a dead owl, decorated. with Mr. Hunt's colours,
and' said to Mr. Hunt "here you are." This produced much
laughtiv).—Mr. Hunt said, that those who had planned the joke
either intended him a high compliment, or one very ill read in
ancient • history. The owl, although an ugly bird, was al-
ways accounted by the ancients an emblem of wisdom, and he re-
joiced to see his• colours upon it.—(Cries of "Aye, and it has
the white feather in his tail.")—Minerva, carried the image of
it upon her hitinwti and certainly would not be much
honoured by transfer to either of the other candi-
dates; whatever might le her feeling with respect' to himself.
(Laughter. )—flut perhaps it was designed by a friend who had
crept into the enemy's camp to mark the contrast between the
contending spirits). But there could be no fear now, unless Mr.
Stuckey-wOuld favour the freeholders by giving them a speech.....
He concluded a tweed), which was well received in most of its
