variety of other articles, amounting in the whole

WESTAIMSTER ELECTION.

in the interest of Mr. limit-louse, whose meetings
for the day were pre-arranged, proceeded to the
poll. At four o'clock the were—

Major Cartwright
Mr. HoanousE then came forward, and congra-
tulated the Electors on the success of the day.
Notwithstanding the wetness of the morning,
they had gaiii.d a large majority over their ad-
versaries. They were aware that they had great
difficulties to contend with. These difficulties,
however, disappeared as the cause made progress,
and when the contest actually began between the
Sons of Independence and the Children of Cor-
ruption. Still they must persevere, as the exer-
tions of their enemies were unremitted. lo every
part of Westminster that he went, he heard of
nothing but the undue means resorted to, by the
friends of his Opponents, to drive a few even of
reluctant Voters to the Hustings. Leaseholdets,
whose leases were near expiring, were threatened
with a refusal to have them renewed, unless they
acceded. In fact, every means that power could
exert, were exerted against the Independence of
Westminster. And yet he could say, with con-
fidence, that the victory of Independence was
certain.—(Bravo !)—lf they could repose confi-
dence in the statements of the many persons who
were out canvassing for them, he could assert,
that 4-sths of the Electors of Westminster espous-
ed his and their cause. But he must inform them,
what, indeed, their own experience would. itself-
suggest, that thousands of the Electors kept
back, because they were afraid of losing the cus-
tom of the many noble families so active in their
canvassing for his opponent. His opponent had,
indeed, no other means to keep his ground. All
those who might have felt any inclination to see
or to support an unknown Candidate starting at
the post, had been polled, and that fund was ex-
hausted. To-morrow, therefore, should the wea-
ther prove favourable, he had the fullest expecta-
tion of seeing the majority of the Whig extin-
guished—(A laugh from Mr. Lamb's friends.)
In effecting that, he well knew that so insignifi-
cant a person as himself had no power, unless as

—He was
his boasted good humour. The state of the Poll
had for the last two days depressed his spirits.—
He was happy, therefore, be said something to
restore them, and make him laugh. But return-
ing to the ohservation—for fear their unworthy
inclinations should not be known, they had takers
every means, and availed themselves of every op-
portunity, to discover them to the country. They
well knew they engaged in the present contest in
direct opposition to the wishes of the Electors of
Westminster.—(No, no !)—The Electors, how-
ever, would treat them according to their deserts,
for he never could believe that :Westminster would
cease to deserve the high character it merited, or
abandon the paramount question of Reform, on
which they had set so bright an example to every
part of the kingdom.---(Cheers frtnner Iris friends.)

Mr. LAMB came for„,r(i with
his friends, but the yellers commenced at once
their unceasing interruption. " Is it your plea-
sure to hear me ?" said Mr. Lamb. Though
cheered by his numerous friends, and a large pat
of the auditory, the clamour continued, and Mr
Lamb retired, wishing them twice good night.

Mr. bowie came forward on the part of Major
Cartwright,. amidst a general nproar.l-Ie ryas

to have imputed to the Major that ' he countenanced in-
sinuations which, from his own knowledge, he knew to have
been falsehoods of Mr. Cubbett,' he has examined with the
utmost strictness his aforesaid Address, artd,does not find a
word he desires to alter. .
With regard to Mr. Cobbett, the Major; in p. 6., had
expressly claimed to standperfeetty apart from that power-
ful writer, whose accusations of the Baronet must stand
or fall as supported or contradicted by facts and evidence.'
Sir Francis is reported (in the same Paper) to have ob-
served, that ' the Major should have been above counte-
nancinginsinuations which•he knew were groundless.'
" He replies, that he has not done it, and that he is
above either baseness or duplicity. He therefore challenges
Sir Francis Burdett to sustain his imputation by proof. The
Major's words and argument arc before him.

In the words of Mr. Cobbett, which the Major quotes, i❑
page 73 for illustrating his own reasoning from facts, he
assets, thkt he is not conscious that they contain false-
hood.' On the contrary, he believes them to contain touch
truth.

" And he refers to his Address, to convince any reader
that Sir Francis has very incorrectly stated what the Major
said about the Duke of Richmond, whose conduct he did
indeed hold up as a salutary beacon, for warning the Baronet
against splitting on the rock upon which the Duke's reputa-
tion suffered shipwreck.

" Wednesday, Feb. 17, 1819."
Sir FRANCIS BLIRDaTT could not help express-
ing his regret that the very numerous audience he
had now to address would not hear the Court
Candidate, and learn what he had to say. He was
aware they were labouring under great disadvan-
tages in not hearing every Candidate. This was
not the . place, undoubtedly, to procure by argu-
ment a fair hearing for all parties, and it might no
doubt be improper to enter into a discussion on
that, yet he telt they would best promote their own
cause, and smite the ttiomplt of liberty, by hearing
ail parties. For one, he must say he was anxious
to hear every thing which could possibly be urged
by the other side, and he sincerely implored them
to hear the Whig Candidate in future, as that
Gentleman was truly facetious. He could not
avoid congratulating them on the state of the poll,
notwithstanding the very unfavourable state of
the weather. But though'the forenoon bad been
cloudy and wet, the afternoon was more auspi•
