Mr. C.tt,vMer requested the Electora to accept his thanks, for
the sixth time, for the distinguished Arpport with which they had
honoured bittt. 'Be would not be deterred on any future oc-
casion from presenting himself before theme, notevithatending an
opiniont.which had just both expressed by Mr. Bishop ; namely,
that after the strength which Mr, Polhill had now exhibited, no
it;ould ever dare to face such untidier,. again. Thia was in-
deed it vain boast ; for when he (Mr. Calvert) iu 'the year 180'7,
had 1682 votes, he thought it his duty to relinguish further COll-
