• lIRCOND DAY:
At the close of thit poll yesterday, the ntallphi•
were declared to be—
For M. Caivert -
Sir Hobart Wilson

- 1-Zig

. , 939

Mr. Barclay - - 754 '
Mr.CA r.vERT, after expressing his regret at the long
time occupied in returning the state of the poll, con-
gratulated them on that state now that it was exhi-
bited. Their satisfaction was already shewn ; and
he could
,assure them, that the proud situation in
which it placed himself inspired him with the live-
liest gratitude. It proved that his Parliamentary con-
duct had not met with the disapprobation of his con-
stituents ; for, though much superior at the end of
the second day's poll on the last election, his superio-
rity on the present was considerably augmented.—
He was sorry, however, to state to them, that efforts
had been made to abridge and contract the elective
franchise as hitherto exercised in their ancient 80,
rough. The attempt was made against those deser-
ving classes who had, in the struggle with their 4if-
&cultic's during a late period of general distress, ap-
plied for relief from the payment of poor-rates.—j
(Cries of Shame, Shame.)—For his own part, fe.;ling
a pride in being the Representative of a populots
Borough, his disposition would always be rather to
extend than to circumscribe its franchises. All these
endeavours indeed, he doubted not, would be una-
vailing, and that they would shortly experience a
complete triumph. He was averse to detaining
them longer in the rain, and again congratulated
them on the state of the pol—{Loud acclamations.)

Mr. BARCLAY, who was with difficulty heard,
thanked his friends sincerely for' the exertions they
had that day made in his favour. Although at the
bottom of the poll, he was far from believing that the
tamest was yet decided, and should renew it to-mor-
' rov: with undiminished spirit. •
Sir ROBERT WILSON declared, that amore illus-
trious example of public virtue and public spirit was
not to be found in history, than the conduct of the,
inhabitants of. Southwark had presented for the last
two days. They had encountered, and successfully,
encountered, an accumulation of wealth and influence
such as never before had been breetzln into exercise'
against the cause of independence. This they had'
done unassisted by any of those means use y brought
I heed Of electioneering objects, relying only on their'
'own patriotism, and attachment to tho.,e principles'
lehith they believed to be just. Their exertions and
public spirit had accordingly produce.l stirprile in
every quarter ; his success had not only exceeded'his
own most sanguine expectations, but had disappoin-
ted the opinion of most 'people. A Gentleman who.
once had a Parliamentary. connexion with them (Mr.•
Tierney), and who was• supposed to have an uncom-
men. share of Parliamentary intelligence, ha told
him that he might as well attempt to sit upon the
Throne of England-as come in for 'Southwark, for
that the Bank, the East India House, the Custom-
House, and all the great establishments of the coun-
try would be brought to support the breviliouse.—
(Load laughter and applause.)—Against all the in-',
'llene* of power and wealth he had hitherto success-
fully contended, supported only by the influence of
patriotic sentiments, and by that of female beauty
operating in the cause of humanity—(Mach applause.)
If the Gentleman to whom he had just alluded should
therefore pay thein a visit in a few days, and he was
sure they would be glad to see him, he wunld be not
a little surprised to find him sitting with -his friend
Mr. Calvert in their representative chair, and en-
throned, he hoped, in the esteem and affections of
the Electors of that ancient, respectahle, and impor-
tant Borough—(Applause.)—From every part of the
country, at least every part where the elective fran-
chise was enjoyed, he received communications
cative of the triumph of free and liberal principles ;
and although forty or fifty men could do little imme-
diately or directly, they might. by asserting the opi-
nions of that part of England which was represented,
produce a re-action in tae public mind, and cause it
no longer to endure a system which had covered the
land with a = iction. It might then be seen. that all
those who had a voice to express were equally ani-
mated st by an ignorant impatience" of abuses which
spread universal misery and distress--(applause.)—
Let them only consider what they had done, and
what would have been said of them if they had acted
otherwise. Had they unanimously returned his ad-
versary as their representative to Parliament, it would
have been said that they were not good and lc} al
people, but that they had shewn themselves to be
grateful for the Suspension Act, the Indemnity Act,
and for the Taxes—(Laughter.) Now perhaps it
would be said that a faction had sprung up in South.
wark ; their Ilorough might be thought a convenient
spot for a Bastile and a Barrack, and it would, no
doubt, to use the language of a certain Statesman,'
form e a fundamental feature" in the next green bag.,
(Laughter.) lie was sure, however, that they were
not to be oppressed with impunity ; that they were
not to be treated like Russian Noblemen, who, when
they received the bastinads by command of their So-
vereign, were bound to repair tee Court, in ordet to
skew their respect for the notice which had been taken
of them--{Laughter.) This was the consequence of
despotism. In times of tumult and civil commotioe,
vices were counterbalanced by virtues; but under a
despotism, vice was uncompounded with any oppc.eite
qualities, and men sunk to their most degraded state.
He could assure them, that, with regard to the en-
deavours used to deprive of their votes, those poorer
individualS who had dared to assert their indepen-
dence, he would see justice- done; and whether re-
turned or not to. Parliament, he now pledged iiirtieelf
to brand with infamy those who had thus dared to
invade their privileges. lie stood there the cham-
pion of 'their rights -as well as of their laws ; and
trusted that his adversary, finding that discretion was'
the better part of valour, would give up all hopes of
success, and -sound" his retreat to-morrow. They
should then cheeifully make with him an honourable
peace, join in good fellowship, and respect him fur
what he undoubtedly was, a valuable citizen in pri-
vate life. He was wiry to detain them so long in
the rain.; but they had peeved that the performance
of their duties did not depend on foul or fine weather ;
and he could promise 'them on his part, that he would
at any time go through fire and water for their sake.
- This speech was followed by. loud and general AC •
clamations. Sir ROBERT WYLSON, a% hey withdrew
from the Ilustings, wan lotridly cheated.

coming from England or on their way to London,
the flri:ish Government must be engaged io a very
