MR. CANNING'S. ARRIVAL.
Liverpool Courier-Orrice, Three o'Clock.
We stop the Press to announce the arrival of
our late. distinguished Representativi, the Right
'Hon. GEO. CANNING. lie was-met, at,,Lou-hill,
by a great number of Gentlemen, all the Captains
:not Lieuteuants .of Districts, a large .body of
freenien, and an imniense concourse of 'inhabi-
tants. The procession was accompanied by flags
and music.
He was attended, in an open -carriage, by Sir W. Barton,
John Bolton, Esq. John Gladstonet Esq• H. 13. Hollinshead,
Esq. Wm. Ewart, Esq. Thomas Rothe, Esq. A, Littledale,
Esq. and Ralph Benson, Esq. The procession morel down
London-road, through Daulny-street, -Pembroke-place, Sey-
mour-street, Clarence-street, Rodney-slrect, to the house of
John Bolton, Esq. in Duke-street, Where it arrived about
one o'clock, when Mr.'Canning addressed, from the balcony,
the following speech to the immense assemblage collected at
the front of the house.
(i.ENTL,LAtEN,—They deem very. lightly of the situation of
a Member of Parliament,-whit think that it is one either to be
solicited or to be granted as a fav• dr. It is an' important
trust which the Constituents conthrJ; it is an arduous duty
which the representative tiodertakes to discharge. .%tot wisely has our Constitution ordained,. that periods shall arrive
-at which the receiver of that delets.artal trust shall return it
into the bands from whom he reeeivt'd it, not, to resume it
again, unless by their unchanged and unabated confidence,—
(Applause.) . -
Gentlemen, there may be those to Whom such a da,,v of ac—
count is Fearful. As to,myserf, I confess, that, if. 1 were to
compare even the day on winch I was first honoured with
your suffrages, or tire day on which yeutenewed them to Me
two years ago, with the present day, I should say, that, even
. with ail the perils (he they Iyhat.they may) of the menaced
contest before me, _yotir reccption of me has made this day,
comparatively, the happiest and the proudest of the three.—
pplause ) •
Gentlemen, in-confiding to your Representative this awful
tifist.„ yon impose upon him a two-fold duty. The one, to act
-in his place ill, Parliament according to the best of his own honest Judgmentior the general good 'of the whole'kingdoin.
The other, to watch, with diligenee-tindifidility over the in-
'te'rests orbis particular Constitoents*,—(lApplause.)
Gentlemen,if; in the latter point,.l have, in any instance,
failed, let•the man' whose just and lkone4t interests hare Urea
neglected by me come forward and cliarge me to my face.
mate the challenge, because I know that I can meet it.—
(Applause.)—And, in - making this chAllene, Gentlemen,
I-7make it. not only as an amicableh call upon those wits, are my. friends, but as•a call: of defiance even Upon
'those who have been -my aniag,inkts.—(L ni ad cheering.)-If,
sinee have been bonoored with the •name of your ilehere- • sentative I hare suffered, in any one inalltr of individual con-
cern, the recollection of local • pi,titr s to warp the straight
line of duty, I have not pv.rformed that -duty well. Tut 1
know (and therefore it js, that I desire to be corrected, if I ant
stating this proposition untruly), that• there is not °We, even
among those who
.would have iaipeiled`,,the comple ion of
your choice, who has not, when he has Wanted my services,
according to his fair occasions, profited by them.—(Ap-
[deltic.)
But, Gentlemen, while have faithfully discharged this
last part of my duty, and, in this sen.c of impartiality, while
I have considered myself, though returned by the suffrages
of. the majority, vet pltred in the .House of Courtuuns.as the
Representative of the whole, although I have never spfrered
La question as to a nv man's vote at the election to deprive him
of any assistance which I could properly render bitritwltt titer
in the way of his 'individual business, or in,ro-operai ion for
the interests of your town; in .the disch,ge of - the other
bran-eh of my-duty I have acted un- othi r grounds. I hare
acted, indeed,' on those subjects, in consonance to the wishes
of the great majority amongyou who elected, me: because the,
(ipi!..iens which I. held on questions of Constitutional policy
;Ire the opinions which first recommended me to your notice:
and tliOse opinions I hold still inichariged, and have nevet qualified or compromiied them by any infusion of the politi-
cal opinions of your oponentst—(Loud Cheering.)
Gentlemen, ciplainitig, thus shortly, what has been the -
teriorormy past conduct, I entreat you , to •collcet from 1 hat
exp_lanatiwt, -rather than from promises. or professions,
the courSe which lain likely to pursue in future.-L(Applause.)
To partictilar Interests, to local inttrest, ['shall give a con-
stant'aitention; But it' is in. conformity to the constitutional
ptinchiles which procured my first return to:Parliament as
your Representastive, that I shall hereafter, as heretofore, go-
vern my &laical conduct: —(Applame.)
-Gentlemen, we live in awful times, and when principles
.are alotoad,- the indulgence of which, thelosti•ring of Which,
the copNenancing of whieh,• the not resisting; which stre-
nitunAly,ainhletermincdly, would hazard the existence of the
liappy.ettinlitishmeritanider which we, live. With
these priu-
j,tiamilever held communion, and -never will roin-
prornie. • -And if, by the declarations and the stand which I
have Made agoiost:llro3e principles, 1 hire excited the fear
and itiejrFe4 the hatred of 'those by whoiii they `are prefesSed
afid 1.1-4.)'pitgated, I knd rorconsolation and ,compensation itr
the additional hold'‘‘ Well, you allow nic• to believe, I have
:obtainvtl,upon.your atfectiMii.-•--(alpplause.)
Mr. t;aniii.ng declined entering lilt., -the prevent state, of
local pansies,' or into I he,prospects of the Election. He con-
!chided by merely stating.that the poll would,open at eight
o'clock in the morning,
,and that the -earlier they took the
!field, the sooner the contest would he over.
