of mind, should have a voice in the government of his country; and as
a tenant or dependent cannot give &Kee vote without the shield or pro.
tection of the ballot. and as the representative ts not sufficiently under
the check of his constituency in seven years parliaments " will you vote
for radical reform, vote by ballot, and short parlisinents."
Third—As every religious sect should support its own ministers; as
it is unwarrantable and oppressive to compel any body of men to pay a
tithe of their property even to the clergy of their own faith; as it is
unjust and unnatural to force seven or eight millions of half.starving
Irish Catholics and Dissented to pay a tithe of their property, and
build churches in each parish for halt's million of persons of a different
religion, " will you vote for a total abolition of the vestry and tithe
laws?"
Fourtit...As the country is fast sinking under heavy taxation, the
chief pan of which is spent in supporting idle sinecurists, and unme.
rited pensions, " will you vote for the reduction of taxation. and the
total abolition of all sinecures and unearned pensions?"
Fifth—As all bodies having the public money at command should
be elected by the public; as the present grand jury system tends to
jobbing and corruption, places the patronage of the country in the hands
of a few individuals; and as all grand jurors should be elected for their
separate baronies or districts through the people, by ballot, will you
vote for an entire revision of the grand jury laws?"
Sixth—Will you vote for a repeal of the subletting act?
Seventh—And last, though most important, will you exert all
your energy in opposing, and vote against, the renewal of the ty.
runic, despotic, and unconstitutional association act, commonly called
the A lgerine act?

The importance of the Claret Stakes, and the circumstances attending
it, require from us a more detailed account than usual. The odds at
Istarting 7 to 4 agst Augustus • 4 to 1 apt Cetus ; sto 1 agat St. Ni-
cholas ; 6 to I apt Little Red Rover ; and 10 to 1 apt any other.
Capt. Arthur took the lead at a moderate pace, followed by St. Nicholas
and Little Red Rover to the Duke's Stand, where St. Nicholas went
up, Arthur appearing here to have had enough of it; Amphiaraus at
this time was pretty well up. and Little Red Rover in a good place on the
near side of the course, St. Nicholas being the outside horse on the upper
aide of it ; Cetus and Augustus at this point were out of the race. As the
space between the horses and the chair lessened, St. Nicholas had a
alight lead, and about 50 yards from home he ran tight across Amphi-
araus and Capt.) Arthur, and continued his oblique course till be came
against Red ver, whom he forced within a yard of the ropes, and
almost turned him round, indeed it was a miracle that they bad not both
gone over the ropes. This had a material effect on the state of the race;
both these horses lost pound as a matter of course, while it gave the
other two an opportunity of making another attempt for the race. The
coming in was singular, and oae of great difficulty for the judge to decide
upon; St. Nicholas and Little Red Rover ran in together, close to the
ropes on the aide of the course opposite the judge, while Amphianua
came in about the middle of it, and the Captain within a yard of the
chair; St. Nicholas was pronounced to be first by a head, and Amphia-
runs second'; the Captain was so well up, that it was no easy matter to
decide whetter he was second or third, and the Rover, from his diminu-
tive size, was so effectually eclipsed by the Saint, that if we had not seen
his rider, we should not have been able to ascertain his position—he
could not have been defeated half a length. The winner was rode by H.
Edwards, Amphiaraus, by S. Day, the Captain, by Robinson, the Rover
by Wheatley, Cetus, by Chifaey, and Augustus by AmulL It was clot;
that, but for the circumstances mentioned, the race would have rested
between the two Yorkshire horses, and a severe struggle ft would have
been, for neither of them had been put to his beat. Amphiaraus and the
Captain would certainly have been out of the question. After the race,
a formal objection was made against the owner of St. Nicholas receiving
the Stakes, on the ground that he had run against Little Red Rover, the
complaint being founded on a law of the Jockey Club, by which any
horse that swerves against another, whether accidentally or otherwise, is
to be deemed distanced. The matter was discussed before the stewards
in the evening, and after examining the jockeys, &c. the stakes were
awarded to the Duke of Portland, and St. Nicholas placed last in the
race. It is but justice to the rider of St. Nicholas to state, that the
horse la of a very vicious disposition, and has never yet been known to
run straight. The value of the stakes is 1,4001
