CUMBERLAND ELECTION.
ASRIDGRD FROM TMZ " CARLMLZ PARSIOT."

Ths Election of two Members of Parliament for the county of
l.ruberland came on this morning (Friday), at the Goat, near
Cacherniouth.
About half past eleven, both parties, attended by nags and bands
of music, began to proceed towards the hustings. Sir Join Low-
ther.* flag was inscribe,', on one side, " Lowtherand Loyaity,"en
the reverse, " The King and Constitution." Mr. Curwen's lag
bare the inscription," Agriculture, Manufactures, and Commerce
averse, ",J. C. Curwen, and the Indepence of Cumberland."
Mien the precession arrived at the hustings, where the preli-
minary business was gone through, and not as formerly at the cele-
brated liorsing.stone belonging to the Lowther Arms public-house,
where the Solon. of Cumberland have for many ages harangued
the assembled Electors. The High Sheriff, Humphrey Firehouse,
Esq. bristly stated the object of the assembly.
Sir iskilLlP lusunAvs, M.P. for,Cailisle, stood for.
ward for the purpose nominating Sir John Lowther,'
Balmier. lie said Sir John was perfectly well known
to them both as a private and as a public character ;
he was attached to the Constitution—he had served the
FreelicliJets of the county of Cumbeilind a great many
years, and was tl.erelore well a. quainted with their
interebts.

Tu MA's Iltutty GRAHAM, E q. of Edmond Ga.tl..,
felt considerable pleasure in seconding the nomination
of .1 Gentleman whose public and private character con-
vinced him that' he would serve the interests of the Free-
ho!ders of the county of Cumberland with fidelity.
Sir JOHN LOWTHER, But. felt highly honoured by
the manner of hiv reception—(Cheers). He had served
the Freeholders of Cumberland for many years, and het
war not aware that he had ever deviated from a line of
conduct which he had conscientiously believed to be just.
J. D. B. DYKES' Esq. of I)ovenby, proposed Mr.
Curwen as a man who had passed nearly half a cen•
my in the public service—a man, toe, of such dis-
intere ted principles. Mr. Curwen's principles were
those of the Freeholders of Cumberland. lie had
always set his Lace against taxation of every kind,
ex:ept what was thought sufficient t' prevent the
IPA eels of Government from clogging. Mr. Corwen
had also done his utmost to serve agticulture—(A
r: ice from a distant part of the crowd, " Aye, but what
has b. come of commie, and manufactures?")

The ltev. M. BAltwle, of Langrigg, near 'Wigton,
seconded the nomination of Mr. Cur wen. He trusted
he should meet with no interruption, as he was the
oldest freeholder standing there; and his white heal.
I.e thought, should procure him indulgence'. Mr. C.
the lt,v. Gent'emau observed, was schooled in the
greatest political school that England ever saw. He
was reared, as a politician, with Fox, Pitt, Burke, and
Sheridan; and what was more, he inherited their
talents I —(Laughter and hisses.)-111r. Curwen had ren-
dered the freeholders service; he had made grass grow
where none grew before; and had done more good
than all the politicians they ever saw ! —(Cheering from
the Freeholder* )
J. C. Cuawass, Esq. stood forward in front of the
hustings, for the I,urpose of addresbing the assembla4e;
but the Hon. Gen:lemon could not at first be heard. He
had s: me enemies in the crowd ; they were princi-
pally operative manufacturers. His voice had always
been uninfluenced, and his opinion unshackled : he had
cringed to no man, and never hesitated to speak the
truth—(A cry of ,g don't credit him.")-4, Freeholders!
said the H 0..• Gentleman in conclusion, most emphs-
vcally), it returned to Pailiamrnt, I'll either perform
my duty towards you,or Eli resign my trust." (Cheering).
A respectable looking Gentleman, who stated his name to be
Studer Cleraitson, rose to put some questions of a personal Dater*
to Mr. Curwen, but the Sheriff interiered, and the indiscreet free.
bolder withdrew amid the confusion be bad created.
After order was restored, the High Sheriff declared Si, Jolla
Loather and Mr. Carnet duly elected, which was followed by
kud cheering.
Sir Johnl.owther and hlr. Curwen briefly thanked the Free.
holders. The members elect were then chaired through the streets
of Cockeraeouth, cheered by their respective friends. Splendid
entertainments followed. _ _ _

When we compare the conduct of the opposite parties engaged in
this election. with what has been lately witnessed in Carlisle, the
contrast is as humbling u striking. At Cockernsonth, sentiment is
wily opposed by sentiment—not by enlist/ore& The two parties
pasted each other in the street. during the chairing, when attended
by their respectiewilagsond bands, and of nuns in a high state of 1
political excitement, without the least interruption or disorder the,
loudly leered each Other as they passed.
