WELL'S ambition

Considerable fuss has been evinced during the
week by the Radical Committees to procure the
abandonment, by the friends of Messrs. MACKENZIE
and TURNER, of a procession on the day of nomi-
nation, and of music, a display of colours, and other
usual accompaniments of a contested election.
These gentlemen, who have so recently been shocked
at the enormity of prohibiting Roman Catholic
processions in our streets, with crosses and emblems,
images, and other Popish insignia, are afraid of
" excitement"being created by a few flags, ribbons,
and a band accompanying the candidates to the
hustings. The possibility of a row is suggested, if
even Conservatives wear a blue or red ribbon in
their button holes ; and we have no doubt that a
neckcloth of the colours particularly obnoxious
would offend their squeamish tastes. It is remarked,
however, that we never heard of any objections to
such displays whilst the working classes of Liver-
pool were arrayed on the side of the Whig Radical
party, or they had any hope of bringing a majority
to the hustings. The object clearly is to prevent
the imposing strength by which Messrs. TURNER
and MACKENZIE are supported on this occasion
being disclosed to the public, and to hide the
weakness of their own party. They dread the effect
of the contrast, and are well aware of the boon
that will be gabled-for Whig Radicalism throughout
the kingdom if the fact can be concealed that the
respectable middle and working classes of Liverpool
have not permitted themselves, to be led away by
the claptrap cry of the cheap loaf; Not a little
amusement has been caused by the result of this
cunning attempt of the Whig Radicals, viz.,—their
having been entrapped into a contribution of £5OO
to the charities of the town. It is a novelty to see
the party so excessively beneficient in the bestowal
of their money. There was a little dodging on their
part when the cash, with an equal sum from the
Conservatives, was to be paid into the hands of his
Worship the Mayor; but it was found to be too
late to withdraw from the position in which they
had allowed themselves to be placed, and an artful
dodge has thus resulted in the best and most useful
of our institutions being enriched to the extent of
£l,OOO.

It is remarked, as complimentary to the intelli-
gence of the merchants and tradesmen of Liverpool,
that, at this election, our town has been called upon
to supply three candidates for highly important
constituencies; and has been enabled to find
amongst their own body gentlemen who, if returned,
would do honour by their ability and high character
to their own town, and take a prominent position
in the House of Commons. Next to that of Liver-
pool, the contest for the representation of Hull,
where our townsman Mr. JOHN BRAMLEY-MOORE,
with his fellow candidate the Hon. Mr. BUTLER,
are contending nobly for the due protection of the
shipping interest and for the maintenance of Pro-
testant institutions. Mr. MooRE, we understand,
is winning largely upon the confidence of the electors
notwithstanding the almost rabid opposition offered
against him by hired agents of the Anti-corn Law
League, which body evidently dreads the influence
of such a gentleman in Parliament. Mr. THOS.
BERRY HORSFALL'S address to the electors of
Derby, issued last week, has been remarked upon
from every quarter as one of the ablest documents
of the kind which has appeared since the commence-
ment of the canvass. Mr. HORSFALL, from his
great commercial knowlege, and especially for his
intimate acquaintance with the injurious ano-
malies existing in our Customs system, derived by
him from long and arduous inquiries into the sub-
ject, will be a most valuable member of the House
of Commons. Our able townsman Mr. SAMUEL
HOLME, who is making excellent way with the
electors of Chester, will bring to the discussion of
many practical questions a vigour of mind and an
amount of experience which very few possess.

TO THE WELSH ELECTORS OF
LIVERPOOL.

IMPORTANT LETTER FROM THE REV.
JOHN ELIAS.

THE following letter, written by the late Rev. John
Elias, the eminent Welsh preacher, and one of the
most popular men in the Principality for the last
half century, was read by the Rev. W. Hughes,
incumbent of St. David's, at the Welsh anti-
Maynooth meeting in the Concert-hall, on Friday
last, for the purpose of sheaving the inconsistency of
those few Welsh electors, who, hand in hand with
Papists, intend to oppose such unflinching Pro-
testants as Messrs. Mackenzie and Turner at the en-
suing election. It was addressed to the Editor of the
Record, and is well worthy the serious perusal of
conscientious Dissenters at the present crisis :

" Sir,—You will allow me, though a stranger to
you, yet a constant reader of your useful paper, to
address you. Perhaps you will he ready to ask who
