At the close of the Poll this day, the numbers were.

Upon the declaration of the Poll for Aldermen
Smith and Atkins, hisses and groans filled the Hall,
and continued until those two Aldermen retired.
Mr. HITCHINS said it was certainly to be regretted
that none but Liverymen were allowed to address the
Meeting, but particularly, so upon this occasion, as
a Gentleman near him had just stated, that if at
liberty to speak in support of Alderman Smith,, he
would throw the whole Hall into a blame. Now al-
though such a display must render quite invisible
such feeble rush-lights as he or his friend were able
to present, yet he must lament that any rule should
prevent the brilliant exhibition which the Gentleman
near him expressed his ability to afford, in that tone
of confidence which his great talents no doubt fully
justified - (Applause', and laughter, produced by the
confident forwardness of the person alluded
The state of the poll was, be regretted to observe,
still in favour of the Ministerial Candidate, and likely
so to continue, but still he should persevere in the
contest to the very last hour allowed by the law.--
Fur whatever might.be the power of their opponents,
or the lukewarniness of toe many of their friends, he
and those with whom he acted were resolved to stand
firm, and to prove themselves faithful suwng the
faithless, and faithless in a great degree he must con-
sider those friends to reform who shrunk on this oc-
casion from their post : as they ought to feel that the
system of corruption should in no instance be allow-
ed to triumph—that no office which the people had
the power to withhold should be granted to any enemy
of Reform—to any supporter of the present Admini-
stration. For his part, he would not so throw away
the influence of the people as to allow the most
humble popular office to be held by one of the re-
tainers of that party who resolutely excluded popular
men from all offices in their gift. The people had
but few offices at their disposal, and these offices
they should retain for their own advocates; and it
was shameful to commit the Chief Magistracy of the
Metropolis to the hands of a man of a mere Mini-
sterial tool. It was, however, asserted, that the pre
sent was not a political question; but how was this
assertion made out ? Let those who attended to sue.,
an assertion consider the maxim of stoicism, a ratio I
and husk to the persons by whom Aldermen Smith
and Atkins were supported. Let them look to those.
who canvassed for them, who voted for them, who
were in every direction anxious and active to promote
their success. and they would find that their main
supperters were the very persons who had grown'
rich upon the poverty of the country—who had tat.
toted upon its vitals—who had accumulated wealth
from contracts and corruption. Was not Alderman
Sir William Curtis their most active friend ?—( Ap-
plauseind hisses.)—Yes. for that well-known Alder-
men had gone to Billingsgate, where his stile of elo-
quence was at home, to wave his lily hand, and pre-
sent his sweet smiles to those who would, vote for
Alderman Smith—( Applause and laughter).--Who
then could doubt of the motives which influenced the
motives of those whO were the opponents of the peo-
ple. or be imposed upon by the professions of tble
party who sought the election of Alderman Smithi
None that bad plain common sense. Yet, strange to
say. many Reformers declined to interfere in this con
test, because truly they could not regard it as of a
political nature; and therefore would allow an office
of high confidence and power to be conferred upon
man hem the enemy's camp. instead of endeavour-
ing to secure it to one of their own tried leaders.—
, There was no excuse, in his mind, for such conduct;
for the pretence that this was not a political question,
was quite as absurd as the plea of rotation. But,
whatever might be the conduct or policy of others,
be and those with whom be was connected, were de-
termined to pursue the course which was right; and
thus-to prove, whatever might be the event, that they
deserved success.
Mr. Woocza observed, that at the conclusion of
another day it appeared, that, notwithstanding the
exertions which the opposite party had made, Alder-
man &trial was not so high upon the poll as his party
piolemed to calculate. But, perhaps, it was to be
attributed to the forbearance and mercy of that very
kind pasty, that they had nut polled hill as many to-
day they had yesterday and the day before—and
thus were willing to encourage the exertion of the
Reformers, whom they *ere not desirous td over-
whelm at once. Therefore, as no one was too old
to learn, he should possibly, after this election, apply
the school of Lord Castlereagh, in order to learn
mildness and modesty. But possibly atter all this
display of modesty. it might turn out that the Mini-1
statist Party bad really done its utmost, and emptied
all those depositories for influence to which he had
before alluded—that the whole of their detachments
had been brought forward. This, indeed, was very
probable; and how than did the case stand ?—Why,
that after Svc days' poll. the Miaisterial Battalion in
the City did not exceed 2800 votes; to which adding
invalids who might be unable to come forward, and
Alms who might be unwilling to appear on such an
' Oessedess. the corpi might be supposed to muster
about WOO. This it was fair to take as a correct
Melmate of the Ministerial force in the Livery, and
"itilkl* then could be apprehended, if the Reformers
&Mild b unanimous, as they unfortunately were
wet 'in this instansea when it was considered that
were no less than 10,000, or, as some said..
1%000 votes in the I..lvery. It was consoling, there:
fore, to reflect, that after the utmost nativity which
the Ministerialists had nesnriotuly employed in this
instafice, they. could not muster more than one-third
of the latveryasea in support of ti well-known Mini-
sterial favourite. This consideration then held 00
the altUrant that victory was within reach of the Is.
formats upon any future occasion, if they would Wel
active and unanimous; and that assurance was a,
great compensation for defeat in this case. It was
now ascertaiord what amount of force the Minister,
could bring forward against the Reformers. This
was ungul, and no presumption could be fairly
chargeable sport those who bad ascertained the tact.
It was habeas that a great proportion of. the Refor•
avers had differed from dime who had WOW'S thle

and it was rem "e4ident what de-

lb -
of strength that enemy could bring into the
against the united power of the Reformers,
many of whom had, in this case, he was sorry to
see, voted for the Ministerial Candidates. While,
therefore, the force of the Minister was known, that

of the Reformers was yet untried ; and it was rea-
sonable to conclude, from the exertion that bad been
used by Ministerial influence. that a very decisive
msj.trity might be arraye.i in the City against any
Ministerial object, which should rally and unite all
the power of the people, who dare to do their duty.
He lamented that all those people had not stood few
ward in this-contest ; but whatever might be their
feeling towards those who had acted, this material
benefit had resulted from their activity, that, by as-

certaining the force of the enemy. it might be known,
whether the Reformers should, in any future instance,
contend with the assurance of victory, or retreat
without the danger of ditgrace. Too much praise
could not indeed be given to those who had, ascer-
tained that which was evidently desirable, by looking
spontaneously to the standard of freedom; for no

canvass had been employed, no solicitation had been
used to procure the votes which appeared upon the
poll for the popular candidates. As to ehe charges
which had been adduced by those lejih whom he
' had the honour to act, he should observe, that greater
credit could not be reflected upon any party than trial
which arose from the censures of bad men. It hid
been said, in answer to the proof of inconsistency
against Alderman Smith, that those who. had pre
.-
Jelled the accusation would themselves truly, when
they became old, become inconsistent also, by "Man-
dousing the opinions which they supported its their
youth. Thus the justice of the accusation was Ad-
mitted, and the only defence it seemed, was that the
accusers would, at some future days become equally
culpable. Su it was presumed by those who weir:
actually inconsistent, that those who upbraided them
would, when old, he as bad as themselves. 1• aa,
to be recollected that this presumption was pretty ge-
neral, for it WAS remarkable that those who were at
present the most prominent advocates of Admalis.
tration and corruption, were origin illy the professed
friends of Reform. This indeed was the case, from
Lord Castlereat h downwards to Alderman Smith—

(ditiriatuer).—klut supposing it possible that the accu-
sers should become as inconsistent as the accused,
still the tergiversation of the one would be no defence
for the other, because such inconsistency would im-
ply either fully in the first instance, ur knavery in the
second; and the inconsistent might rely that the lat-
ter Was the general, as well as the lust conclusion—
( kolaare:).—Circumstances were indeed generally,
It nut universally so strong, as to justify the conclu-
sion that the change of opinion was not me result wt
honest conviction, for no such change that he had
over heard of, was unaccompanied by some evidence
of a sinister motive. In addition to the regret which
be felt to find some friends of Reform voting for the
Ministerial Candidates, was that produced by the
neutrality of many others. The plea of policy and
iexpediency was, he was aware, offered for such neu-
trality. but conceiving as he dud, that there was no
line to be drawn between justice and polity, he e.iuld
sot approve of such neutrality, because he could
need agree to sacrifice right to policy—(A/spina/el).
ff it were right to oppose Alderman Sandi at the
kelt election, he felt it impossible to justify the con.
Ogle/ *me who declined too:T.l,e him un tile pre-

Conduct of that Alderman Smith. Hid he Moan-
dontd the support of that system which then gave
so much offence to the opponents of Administration?,
Had he evinced any disposition to change his opt-
pions t Had he given any pledges of a sew faith I
Certainly not. Upon what ground then did ware
Gentlemen stand forward as sponsors for-the new-
bora virtues of this worthy Alderman—(.:i/0/am:
gad lawshger).—A*to the leaders who had declined it,
stand on this occasion in favour of reform, their mo.
Cities might yet be elposed. But whatever their mo-
tives or conduct might be. he should not concur with
them, or any set of men, that principle should be 54-
creticeJ to expediency. He would not advise the
people implicitly to confide in every leader, and still
less upon those who should, on any occasion, be
ashamed to support the cause and its friends. Reform
had not succeeded principally through the division of
its friends, which was produced through the opera-
tion of ptivate pique and petty jealousy among the
leaders of the cause. Hence at various periods fa-
vourable for its advancement, a relaxation of effect
had n ost lamentably taken place. But to guard
Against the recurrince of such misfortune, he would
exhort the people to act for themselves, and they had
Abundance ot information and energy to enable them
to do so. 'llius they would protect their cause from
suffering through the vanity or caprice, or personal
jeatousy of any man. For himself, he could say that
he had no wish to put himself forward. He was an-
zious.to act, and willing to follow any man or set o'
Ma who supported Reform, but he could not allow
the cause to suffer through inactivity, while he had
the power to act—(Am/amer).—lt those who usually
led would nut stand forward, those even of inferior
ability who were solicitous for the principle, should
endeavour to promote its interest. The cause of Re-
form bad virtue and vigour enough to maintain it-
self, if the people wet. faithful to themselves, and
therefore no one of the people, however humble his
interest or ability, should hesitate 1, stand forward
in its support. With respect to the progress of the
Election, he was glad that the' people evinced so
much interest upon the subject s and that interest was
evident from the immense number whom he had the
honour to address. From the conduct of The Meet-
ing it was quite evident that the public disapproved
of the pretensions and character of Alderman Smith;
and here be could not forbear from expressing his
surprise and regret, that although there were above
4(1,000 Freemen, with a vast number of Freeholders
also, in London, many of whom no doubt were then
present, the right .of election should be confined to
Liverymen. But this circumstance was one, among
many, which called loudly far Reform, in order that
the mess of the people should have a. due share of
influence ip the election of their Representatives in
Parliament. If, indeed, the right of voting were
extended, as tastice demanded, who could doubt that
the state of the poll Would have corresponded with
the oillapprobation so loudly aid unequivocally le
peeeeed.osi this occasion, as to the pretensions of both
, the Ministarial Candidates (Repeafeal itiasstlits.)
