as Protestants who highly value our blessed privileges, and are
deeply impressed with a sense of the danger to which they would
become exposed by the repeal of the wholesome enactments which
now exclude the Roman Catholics from certain offices and places of
power and authority within this kingdom, we cannot, without
wronging our consciences in the exercise of our elective franchise,
give our votes to a man, however highly gifted and however well
qualified he may be in other respects, who, by his conduct and vote

PRESTON....SATUIRVILT
Thursday, Mr. Cobbett, looking towards Mr. Stanley,
whose face was directed to his side of the hustings,
which he appeared to be surveying through his glass—
" See that fellow quizzing me—l'll quiz him too ;" and
he scooped his hand, and held it up to his eye, as if to
look through it at Mr. Stanley. Mr. S. turned away,
saying, 44 What an execrable fellow !"
Mr. Connsrr—There is Mr. Stanley for you—the
handsome gentleman—the favourite of the ladies of
Preston, forsooth. Do you knew what ? the only thing
in the way of favour that I heard he received was, one
of them spat on him. This is the favour that the nice
Mr. Stanley gets from the ladies. It reminds me of
the French epigram which I have seen in the translation.
It runs thus—.

IL* alertitg the whole of the troops that were statit.tedi.t.
sites Monday, left the town. It eras expected, accordabg tc. ,
promise, that Yr. Cobbett would appear at the busting.; to ttzce
the bribery oath; but the Court was opened—no Mr. Cobbeu ~,
peared.sad the answer was, that Mr. Ce'st,et t bad gone out ut u, ,

" Perhaps It was right to dissemble your love,
But why did you kick me down stairs?"
--(Great laughter and cheering from the crowd, mixed with blues
from the busting.). In the same way this handsome favourite of
the Ladies may repeat—
" Perhaps it was right to dissemble your love,
Bat why did you spit in my face?"
(Great uproar). He then proceeded to complain of -the
way in which the polling was conducted. What does
Mr. Mayor hope to do ? How could the voters come
up ? There were plenty of fortifications, GOD knows!
—and Mr. Mayor wanted to make Members of Parlia-
ment out of scantlings and deal boards. This was his
way of returning Members to. Parliament.
In the evening, Captain BARRIi addressed a large
concourse of persons. A stern chase, said he, was a long
one—but at last the best ship won. Let her be only
tight rigged, well built and manned—let the enemy be
made of green wood—and, a man o' war to a jolly boat,
the chaser would get a head in a knot's time. Who
talked of hauling in ? who talked of taking in canvass?
—not he. He quit the good ship Preston! Shiver his
I timbers if he'd not stick to her while a plank was afloat.
He was too old a sailor, had been out in all weathers,
" see'd too much service," to lower his flag to the saucy
signal of such fresh water mariners as he saw alongside
of him.—This speech was received with great applause.
Captain COLQUITT next addressed the crowd —He
rejoiced to see his friends, like a ball of snow, get bigger
as they went on. Mr. Cobbett said, England would be
beat by the Americans at sea. No, no ; let two of the
young Cobbetts get into Captain Barries ship—let two
more come into his—and two Cobbetts were enough
anywhere, GOD knows—they would soon find that the
4. Dragon" of Captain Barrie was not a flying one, her
tail on fire with stern chasers. But Mr. Cobbett's
medals made him stare—what, was not this bribery ?
l'o be sure they wete not worth much—about five-
pence or so—threepence for the pewter, and twopence
for the ribbon—this was the outside. But Cobbett to-
day has been re3tored to good humour, and talked of,
the manufacture of Members of Parliament into scant-
lings and deal boards. Why let Captain Barrie be
returned, and he would be found of true heart of oak.
,The Canada Commissiouer ! that was Mr. Cobbett's
wick-name fit the gallant Captain—why not christen
Cubbett himself the Radical Register•maker of
Pleet-street r A man was no prophet in his own
country—a man was never thought much of in his
town—but, let him go abroad, do glorious deeds, and his
townsmen will receive him, as they did Captain Barrie,
heartily and kindly.
Captain Comer', in allusion to Mr. Cobbett's assertion that a
Lady spat In Mr. &anley's face, came forward on the hustings and
challenged the proof of this.
Yesterday the polling became more quick and quiet ; and Cobbett
Jest on the day's poll 52.
At the rising of the Court, Cobbett came down and
accused Mr. Horrocks, an extensive manufacturer, son
of the late Member, of subornation of perjury, in com-
pelling his workmen to vote for Capt. Barrie, after they
had premised their support to Mr. Wood. Mr. Horrocks
indignantly contradicted the assertion. Cobbett repeated
the charge, and proceeded to harangue about corruption
and bribery, the Pope and the devil. Gentlemen, I hate
'the Pape, but then I hate the devil worse. Gentlemen,
bribery is the devil—you have been called on to abjure
the Pope to-day, but I'll call on you to abjure the devil
Corruption, to-morrow. Here his oration was drowned
Hissing and hooting—" Go to Coventry"—" No
trine grubbing"-4, Pay Burdett his money.' Cublsett
turned on his opponents in a fury, threatened them with
his fist, roared at them with all his might, and pointed
them out to the mob. He then commenced a string of
imprecations on the man whom he should discover
to have taken a bribe for his vote. " LI expose him—
I'll drag him before the public-111 hold him up to
the scorn of men—l'll make his name notorious
from one side of the kingdom to the other—from John
o Groat's to the Devil s I'll nail his name
to the gallows tree I'll gibbet him all his life
I'll make him detested and loathed through the land:'
the hooting commenced again. Cobbett completed his
scale of curses in the midst of the most tumultuous up-
roar of hooting and huazaing. At last, enraged by the op.
position, he pointed to Capt. Barrie's friends, and waved
his hand to the mob, apparently signifying his wish
that they should attack that part of the hustings where
his enemies stood. The multitude rushed towards it
with a savage shout, and Capt. Barrie and his friends
saved themselvei by a precipitate flight. Cobbett pa-
raded the town in the evening, standing in an open car-
riage, and bowing to the acclamations of the mob. He
afterwards gave them 5 speech.

The Deke de Monte Belle, a Peer of France, (son of Lariats,
sae of Iltioaaparte's Marshals), with two other French Gentlemen,
Count Durergier and M. Meyer, stopped here, on their way to see
the Westmoreland Election. The Mayor, N. Grimshaw, Esq. re-
ceived them on the hustings with the most polite attentions, and
entertained them in the evening at dinner. 'llssugh they declared
themselves Liberals, they expressed their disapproval of the almost
unlimited admission of the multitude to the right of polling in Pres-
tos. and appeared shocked at the raggedness and rusanism of Cob-
bett's voters. When one of Cohbett's friends wished to tura his
attention to the Duke, " Pooh," said the man of the gridiron, "
not look at him; what is he but son of one of Huonaparte's General?
what is he to tae? not half so great a man as myself; besides, (sig.
edikantly) that. would he no use in boohooing him, you know he
has no vote In biota."
