A churchman is one who believes that the truth of the gos-
pel is carried out in all its principle and practice in that part
"
of the church adopted in England and Ireland styled the
" Established Church ; —one who reverences her institu-
tions, partakes of her ordinances, and is a recipient of her
blessings; one who, while he disseminates sound evangelical
doctrine, is submissive to the guidance and controul of strict
apostolical or episcopal authority.

BoaouGn OF BURY.—There is no town in England which
has done its duty more satisfactorily than Bury, the birth-
place of the Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, Bart. It has been
a hard contest with Henry Hardman, Esq., of Chamber Hall,
Bury, a Conservative (born under the same roof as Sir Ro-
bert Peel), who came into the field only four days before
the nomination, and after the borough had been canvassed
twice over by the Whigs, to fight a battle against are" old
Wbhir, candidate," R. Walker, Esq., who was supported by
all the influence of Socinian magistrates and their poor law
and registration attorneys ; also by the Radical Ex-M.P.
at the first election, who, as a return for his efficient assist-
ance, (as he terms it,) expects to be made a magistrate ; and
to finish the proceedings were obliged to call in the assistance
of a once-noted character, who, instead of stopping at home
to make boluses, went up to London, with two guineas
1-week allowed to him, under pretence of passing the
, 1
people's charter." Upon the husting's he was received
very politely by the touching of hats, amid thunders of
cheering from the Whigs ; after cross-examining each can-
didate, he told the people that " Mr. Walker was the man
for them and the charter, and they must support him." How
gratifying, after all their bombast and unfair dealings, Mr.
Walker was returned by the small majority of 35, and those
bad votes. Mr. Hardman was at the head of the poll till
12
o'clock, when the Whigs finding themselves completely
beaten, begaA to bring up persons who had removed to other
towns, persons who are bankrupts, others now living in £6
cottages, &c., paltry
; and by such andunfairmeans
as these;;lMr. Walker was placed at the head of the poll.
No matter the battle has been well fought, and won but
for a time. The electors have formed themselves into an
;:tssociation' which amounts to above 250 members, who are
increasing daily. As Mr. Hardman has promised to come
forward again, the electors are longing to ow their strength,
and let thetime come when it rnay, thr'otten borough will
Abe arrested from the hands of the' Whig Socinian faction,
and will return to parliament a talented
Young
40 justice to all.—Manchester Courier.
