cOI3BIZT AND Alit. HUNT.

We have been, called ,upon.by several of our
readersi since these two Gentlemen hare cut so
distinguished a figure on the arena of Polities', to
disclaim the appellation so generally Lestowed
upon the latter by the London Press, in designat-
ing hint as Mr. Hunt of Bristol, That in his political
character Mr. Hunt first gained notoriety in this
city is certainly true. But that he is, 4 native of
the place, or otherwise connected with it, than by
the annual visit he pays us, to celebrate the day
when he was enabled to protract the poll of out
election to an unnecessary length, by indneing
456 nut of 10,000 of the, freemen of the city to
give
,him their suffrages, we, are proud to deny.
lie is a nut4ve of Wiltshire ; and if the London
prints are anxious to obtain an authentic ac-
count of his birth, parentage, education, and
.exploits, we refer them to an ample source
of information in the town of Marlborough,
where they may glean some anecdotes, per-
haps worthy of their. notice. But the chief
object for which tt;e have introduced the
names of these Gentlemen, at this particular,
joncture, is to inform the public that it 'redounds
most highly to the credit of our citizens at large,
that even in these times of alarm and peril, when
in many parts of the Kingdom principles of dis-
satisfaction and discontent at the measures of the
culvtituted Authorities of the country are most
insidiously promulgated, the City of Bristol appears
to stand aloof front the infection ; and where the
parthans of Mr. Ilittit might naturally be sup-
posed to abotmil the most, we are unusually tem-
perate and quiet. We have every reason to be-
lieve, front information obtained from sbme of
our most vigilant Magisttates, that Ilampden
Clubs are names nnknown amongst us. The
amount also of Mr. Cobbett's two-penny pub-
lic htions, that are vended on our Eichange, does
tot exceed 50, in a population of 43,000
tants ; and highly to the credit of one of our
incipal new; %enders, be haS actually decliued
the Sala of them.—(Bristol Journal)
