KILKENNY ELECTION.

( From the Dublin Evening Mail of Wednesday.)
" TO THE ELECTORS OF THE ANCIENT CITY OF KILKENNY.
" MEN OF KILKENNY,—Before this address meets you! eyes,
I shall have no seat in parliament. I think—perhaps it is mere
vanity—that it is necessary for the rights and interests of the
people that I should have a voice in the House of Commons.
Men of Kilkenny—Do you agree with me in this opinion? If
so, I should be, indeed, proud to represent the citizens of Kil-
kenny.

" My ever esteemed friend, your late repreFentative, has af-
forded me the opportunity thus to solicit your suffrages.
" I have not the culpable audacity to refuse pledges to those
who honour me with their confidence—but my-life is my first
pledge—my principles are my proofs of fitness.
" I. however, pledge myself to these three things:—
" First,—To give my cordial support to Lord Melbourne's
government so long as it continues its present honest course of
policy towards Ireland. It deserves that support, as being the
only British government that ever acted honestly to the people
of Ireland.

" Secondly,—l pledge myself to vote upon every occasion as
a thorough radical reformer.
" Thirdly,—l pledge myself to use every constitutional exer-
tion in my power to complete the reform of parliament, amongst
other things, by introducing the principles of election and re-
sponsibility in the House of Lords.
" Until there is a reform in the House of Lords, it is impossi-
ble to have justice done to Ireland.
" Y our local interests will command my most strenuous at-
tention. " I have the honour to be,

" Your ever faithful servant.
" DANIEL O'CONNELL.

" London, May 7, 1836."
[Tile London evening papers of Wednesday do not speak of
O'Cunnell's resignation of his seat or discontinnance of his op-
position to the petition of Messrs. West and Hamilton. When
the committee closed its sitting on that day the two parties were
upon an equality, O'Connell's counsel having succeeded in re-
ducing the petitioners majority of one by striking off the name
of a man who swore that he had voted 'for them under the im-
pression that he was to have been paid for doing so.—E. L. S.]
