lilt. BEAUMONT'S SPEECH at the FINAL
CLosE OF THE POLL, on THUESDAY, JULY 6, 1826.
Gum:mm-1 have now to address you for the last time,
probably, before the lapse of a considerable period. The diffi-
culty of my situation is very great, but perhaps not exactly on
that account which you may anticipate. It is not from being
compelled to forego those honours which I have once enjoyed--
nor is it on account of the more difficult task of sepirating myself
from kind and affectionate friends. My difficulty is great, be-
cause I undertake to prove that we have all three gained a vic-
tory. But before I enter on that subject, I must be allowed to
offer that tribute of approbation which I am sure that we are all
equally anxious to pay to the High-Sheriff, for the strict impar-
tiality and high honour with which he has conducted himself
throughout the whole of this contest. 1 am satisfied that in so

nious feeling, much arduous struggling both between persons of
different parties, and persons of the same political party ; and
there has rested more than ordinary difficulty upon the Sheriff to
compose this excitement, and to preserve good order. In no
case has that Hon. Gentleman swerved from the path of honour;
in all respects he has set an example to every Sheriff in the king-
domequally studied
the comforts of all the candi. a . . . as uniformly decided with

differ from Ministers on this subject, and yet they cons
down the only person who differs as much as they do upon the
mode of effecting that abelition.—(Applause).
The Whigs were those persons who raised their- voices most
ppirreete to pretend

loudly against the Six Acts, as they are called, in 1819 ; yet they
now conspire to raise up a man who has declared his approbation
of that part of the administration which proposed those laws, and
who is determined to proceed in the course of praising iind snp-
Porting Minieters. They have chosen 044 Gentleman, and turned
their bitterest rage against him, whol with the sacrifice of some
