COUNTY DUBLIN ELECTION.

On Monday last the Election for two Members to
repteseut the County of Dublin in the Common,
House of Parliament, commenced at kilmainham.
Mr. BAKER, of Corduff, proposed Mr. lIANS 11A-
MILTON. He was a man always found at his post on
great public questions—("voting against the country,"
said a voice in the crowd)—his conduct on a late OCCa•
Lion cannot be forgotten, when he was found in his
place opposing that pestiferous Me:JS ire, the Vault*
Tax—(Loud applause)--As a Grand Juror and a land-
lord, he had also fair claims to the suffrages of the
County, and he trusted, that after returning him tit
so many Parliaments, the Electors would not now
!abandon their old and tried friend.
Mr. JAMIZS ARTIIURE seconded Mr. HAMILTON'S
nomination.

The Right Hon. W. C. PLUNKETT, amidst a gene-1
mil burst of applause, came forward to propose Colo-
nel Talbot. Ile concurred with Mr. Baker in the
tribute he lead paid to the virtues of Mr. H nniton,
but his chief object was to propose far their considera-
tion his friend, Colonel Talbot, whose conduct he had
observed in Parliament ; and satisfied was he, that
that Gentleman' had never given a vote he did not
conscientiously believe to be for his country's interest.
Mr. PassroN seconded Mr. Plunkett'. proposition.
Mr. JAMES CEITCHLEY then put Colonel White in
nominitiou. lie proposed him on the purest princi-
ples of independence—principles which he (Colonel
White) unequivocally avowed, and which, should he
prove the object of their choke, he would be found
invariably to act upon. His object was to be an
Ilkmest and honourable guardian of the rights and
liberties of the Empire-a-of the interests of Ireland
generally, and the County of Dublin in particular.
• Mr. CLINCH, on similar grounds, briefly seconded
Coinnel White's nomination.
Mr. Hass linstinrou then 'came forward, and
addressed the Electors in a written speech. Ile con-
gratulated the country on the return of Mr. Plun-
kett as a Representative for Trinity College. Ile
rested his own claims on his long services, and his
hope of success upon the partiality so lreqiieacly
I evinced towards him by the freeholders of the county.
; Ile then, with much energy, and more than usual
distinctness, said—" I have been accused of a com-
bination, but I now declare to the county that I have
not entered into-any combination to affect the inde-
pendence of the county."—(Some applause.)
. .Colonel TALBOT followed, and said, that after the
praise bestowed on him by his Right lion. Friend,
Mr. Plunkett, he should say little of himself. • A
charge had been made against him of a combination
few electioneerin purposes, but the charge was false.
•He never entered into any combination to affect the
independence of the county, and as he had never sold
his constituents, he trusted they would nut now sell
him—{ Very general applause.)
Colonel WHITE next caine forward and said, he
should not offer himself, or request the votes of his
countrymen, did he not feel the conviction in his mind,
that he could do so on groundsthe most disinterested.
His principles were those of the purest independence,
unmixed with any object but the honour of repre-
senting his native County in Parliament, and of re-
presenting it creditably for himself, and beneficially
for his constituents, should he be. returned. His mo-
tives had nothing of self in them, beyond the fair
ambition of representing in Parliament, men whom
he respected, to whom he had many ties, and whom
he should fsel it a pride as well as a duty to serve.
Should he attain the honour to which he aspired,
• they would always find him a watchful sentinel over
their local interests, and no less vigilant in his care
of Their general liberties and constitutional privileges
Very general applause).
• At haff-past twelve o'clock, the Deputies and the
. Sloe proceeded to swear in the poll clerks. The
coate ill be ...farm; each part; is tonficitntef success.
