Tea MUNICIPAL ELECTION.—Our radical contem-
P"aries are exulting over the issue of the recent mu-
opal election, entirely forgetful that a few more such
tietaries will prove the ruin of their cause, and bring
in A Close the ascendancy of the faction in thisborough.
It
is true that they have returned eleven out of seven-
h;ea councillors; but it is no less true that only three
o tile retiring councillors were conservatives. The
'netest has, therefore, issued in the absolute loss of
three votes to the radicals—equal to six on a division.
The real question to be determined is, are the con-
tetretivamm more powerful in the council now than they
Let in 1835, or in any of the intermediate years ?
7t it U.S see. In 1835 there were only fire conserve-
re* in the council; in 1836 there were eleven ; in
,p there were sixteen; in 1838 there are eighteen.
here, then, is the cause for radical exultation ? Has
pot the influence of conservatism been progressively
°4 the increase ? In 1835 there were only five con-
-lettatives out of 48 councillors—in 1838 there are
lighteen out of 48. The disparity might have been
alit further reduced had not the conservatives, through
!Leer indifference and mismanagement, contrived to
re both Everton and Rodney wards. If these wards
"id been secured, as they might have been easily, the
entlneil would have been composed of 20 conservatives
;;‘,4 28 radieals—excluding the Aldermen, who have
;.kibeen nominated by the majority. We cannot pos.
tihvlY discover any cause for triumphant boasting on
Part of the radicals when we examine this stater
petit. nor, on the other hand, any cause for discou-
tlEtatnent or despair on the part of the conservatives,
it squse influence is thus steadily though progressively
"titincing.
In Everton, as we have said, the conservatives lost
th
vlNgli gross mismanagement and apathy, combined
t Ith no very creditable share of trickery and political
tiversation. An analysis of the poll-book will
Anal, the most incredulous of the truth of our asser-
•'". The conservatives might have secured a ma.
Pity of at least twenty, if they had only done their
17 in this ward, and that without sacrificing any
rher ward. We sincerely hope that they will take a
4011 from their adversaries in future, and completely
,
Nue the ward from the contamination of radicalism.
• The same may also be said of Rodney-street ward,
which the conservatives are sufficiently numerous to
!cure the election of their candidates with an over-
t lehelluing majority. We sincerely regret that through
it culpable indifference the town has been deprived
°f the services of so invaluable a member of the coun-
t" is Mr. Henry Lawrence. The opposition in this
Rand Was undisguisedly of the most factious character;
:401e most intemperate of the radical faction must
better
acknowledge that the ward could not:have been
vtter represented than it was in the person of Mr.
rtrence.
the Scotland wsrd the triumph was most complete on
conservative side and that under inauspicious cir-
tilkatances, for Mr. Holmes was only announced as a
1444klate a few days previously to the election. The
1 ~,erenry affects to believe that Mr. Holmes is a radi-
v7sand classes him as such. A reference to his address,
the
appears in another column, will we trust satisfy
editor of the Mercury that he "has reckoned with-
-6
in his host." We did not notice the excitement which
!retailed in this vrard towards the close of the election.
,
feur o'clock about two or three thousand persons
LFedelled in front of the booth, when Mr. Holmes pro-
to. address the multitude. He said that " the
e had been fought and the victory gained. They
;,45 triumphed Over the deceptive.whig." He said that
itlt Would be his endeavour to save the public funds.
'"e present dominant party in the council, before they
`alined power talked of economy. No sooner, how-
-ter. were they seated than they cast economy, with
ill
their former professions, to the winds. Every thing
',l4t malice could do had been clone to defeat him ; but
;
the madness of their rage in endeavouring to sting
ilnh, his Whig opponents had only stung themselves.
'it.° rejoiced in that great triumph. They were told
at in that ward the principles of reform were to be
11
been
: there the principles of conservatism had
tleeh nobly manifested. They must rally round the
follatitution, and allow of no further invasion. The re-
thtth bill had fixed it. It must be supported against
e insidious and deceptive whigs, as well as against
the Weak and wicked radicals. The latter were led on
): fete wicked men, who by their annual parliaments
v,
to produce annual confusion, and by their uni-
aettml suffrage a general revolution ; fancying
44,1 they may gloat and fatten amidst carnage,
ikne,"le. and misery." We are sorry that we can-
s,: Bite the entire speech ; but we give, enough,
4' trust, to satisfy the man of the Mercury, as well
I:,the Chronicle and Albion, as to what party Mr.
ae Holmes will espouse. His professions are (ho-
t:AMY conservative, and we have no doubt that his
"duct will prove the sinceriity of those professions,
14-
14c11 to the chagrin and, texation of the Whig- Radi-
faction.
-kJ" 'Vauxhall Ward a noble triumph has been also
iti'lered nor one of the leading men on the liberal
,41- Themajority is decisive of the fate of the radi-
an this ward.
,„1-he electors of St. Paul's Ward have earned the
L'4teful acknowledgements of the Conservatives of
'terpool for the noble manner in which they have
elancipated themselves from the trammels of radical.
:fn• We cannot refrain from complimenting the
"kunittee and the canvassers on their indefatigable
i~lettions in contributing to the defeat of their powerful
k pagonist, and achieving so glorious a victory. Much
tMr. Wright's success is, undoubtedly, owing to the
Leaction in his favour proSuced by the scandalous and
,74lignant attacks made upon his character by the un-
principled radical press of the town.
Et it in Abercromby Ward was the greatest victory.
a,°° r William Earle, time ex-mayor of Liverpool, is now
ex-councillor of Abercromby Ward. This is gall
4d Wormwood to the radicals. Hence their gross
I;:erepresentations • and falsehoods, to which we, may
tite to reply on Friday. Poor William Earle ! His
°II is departed.
