self befo.e the freeholders and Stamen on Thursday morning last, and
addressed them in a long and very eloquent speech from the steps
leading to theigreat room at the Angel, in the market-place. Speaking
of the Duke of Wellington and his Administration, he expressed him.
self as follows t—" I would at all times pay a tribute of justice to the
prowess done who never planted the standard of battle but it proved a
trophy of victory—who never ascended the chariot of warlike cohtlic:
but it proved a car of triumph. (Hear, and cheers.) I would di
him justice in another and more important respect even than h.,
splendid military exploits-4 mean his great services in the cause of
aril liberty. I would do justice to the services of the Duke of We"-
lington and his colleagues, in the repeal of the Test and Corporation
Acts, and in carrying into effect Catholic Emancipation (laud chetr-i.
And when the column is raised to the Duke of Wellington's glory,
sod it shall hereafter stand exhibited to the gaze of posterity, I ar
persuaded it will be surveyed with admiration, not so much for th,
blazonry of splendid victories with which it will be surrounded, s.
for that holy flame which will be shining at its top of religion.
charity. Having thus paid every just tribute of respect to his m.-•
mory, I will still say, that the late Government, of which the Duke
of Wellington was the Premier, fell justly. Why did it fall ? &-
cause It was not a Government adapted to the spirit of the times—
because it was not a Government in accordance with the wishes, Iran
not evincing a sufficient sympathy with the wants, of the people—be.
cause—and I do not, I trust,tprofane a sacred expression in making us,•
of itee-because it was built on the sand of expediency, and not on the
living rock of the people's feelings and affections." (Cheers.) Of the
present Administration, and of which he himself forms a part, he spek:

sions--that their object Is not to destroy but to preserve, and to fl x
the people's rights ass the protection of ancient laws. i believe that
they will honestly attempt the revision and removal of abuses that dr.
form our system—that deform our system of expenditure and our sys.
tent of representation—and they will tell you this, that they all let
into things honestly—l for one have so far joined them, and in pusa.
ming to join them I will add that I am Inclined to derive from the pre.
sent times two important lessons—the one to Government the other
to the people. 1 would say to the Government, We require net
immediately to be laid before us details, because we know 11.0
your labours mutt be great, difficult, intricate, and extensive :
whatever you attempt, be honest—attempt it honestly, and the
people will support and justify you. What I would say to the people
le, " Give the Government a fair trial—let them not have to say, or their
enemies have to say, that there is no possibility of making any atltance.
I would decry any unfair and captious judgment of Government, but
would say, on the one hand, be true and honest to us, and we will be
true and candid to you."

multitude. The election commences to-day.

The Liverpool Mercury says, the present is " the most
profligate and demoralizing election contest we ever Wit-
nessed." There are limits fixed by Providence, bevoud
which evil shall not pass. The disgusting iniquity of our
venal elections appears to have reached its height ; all t!:0
friends of truth and freedom will speedily become unanimous
for the vote by ballot.
The Duke of Wellington was the other day closely occu-
pied with Lord Grey in the Treasury, for four or five hours.
The greatest cordiality has for a length of time subsisted be-
tween these eminent individuals in all the relations of 'ri-
vets life. The intimacy between Lord Grey and the Duke
of Wellington was, we believe, owing to the interference of
Lord Lauderdale.
