Parliament, took place in Butter Market-street. A commo-
dious hustings for the acconancdation of the Candidates and
their friends, was erected immediately contiguous to the
office. Towards this place, a -little before eleveu o'clock. in -
the morning, the two Candidates, JOHN lent-AND BLACK!.
siunNY., Esq., and Mr. CHARLES HINDt er,-the radical orator of
Duckentieal, who, (before the elevation of Lord Brougham-lo
the woolsack), was that gentleman's electioneering cat's-eaw,
proceeded in procession with bands of music and banner.
flying. Mr. Blackburne's friends set out from -the Lion
Hotel, and Mr. Hinatey's from the R'ag's Ile'ad Inn. The
banners of Mr. Blackburne having appropriate Conservative
mottos, were extremely splendid, and. as his cavalcade
moved through the streets it received the most enthusiastic
cheers from the windows of the inhabitants, achich were filled
by respectable persons of both sexes. " The witchei" its ills.
spirited borough shone forth -most resplendently on the occa-
sion, apparent.y vieing with each other to oisplay the color es.of
.the constitutional vanitidates in rosettes, &c. to the best advan-
tage ; in fart a complete array of beauty was to be Seen at all the
respectable houses to greet Mr. Blackburn's procession as it
moved. .On arriving at the hustings J. Nicholson, Esq.ethe
returning esflicer, took the chair in the centre, Mr. Bleck-
burne's friends being ranged at his right hand, and Mr. Hind-
lev's to the left. Mr. Ht ndley's party cut a most isejer:ted figure
compared with that.of 11r. :Blackburoe's; a few sorry green
and pink calico flags. followed by the tag rag andensessaleetors,
was the only feature that drew attention, as being a great c,..n-
-trast to that of Mr. Bias-kb:tune, hie liags and beunets bar.ng
the most elegant iippearance' and his party consisting of thtt
wealth and influence of the town. The exclusive dealing aye-
tern of intimtdatten, it apeeare, has been carried on to . a great
extent amongst the stead shopkeepers. With this disgraceful
opposition Mr. I.Mackhurne has to contend; and, tote it hstands
iog. however its influence, there does not appear to exist a doubt
at tbat gentleman's return.

JOHN Itt Kea ern Bi.AcKECriNE; Esq. then came for:Wird. and'
addressed the eleceers. He said that -the last time he-had the
honour of addressing them fronethoeselaustiugs, he had hot anti,
cipated that he should so soon again have occasion to call-upon
their to-place him in that sitteet on, which since the keterna
Bill bad passel, was the highest object his ambition aspired to.
(Obsess.) He unw addressed their with different feedings than
he did et the last election, for he had the p:eaaure to.know that-
since that period, there were many who were then adverse Ace
him,-hail promised him their support. (Loud-cheers.) He tea

here. Ile wits well aware. that the great reaction in political'
opinions, which had taken place amongst the electors of Ware
eingfon, was not in any way attributable -to their personal
feelings.ofsespeentowards him. He was convinced that it was
owing to the cause that he espoused. and would defend. As au
advocate of that cause, he, au humble individnal, claimed their
suffrages•aa a candidate to represent their interest iu Parlia-
ment.. He did not pretend to claim their suffrages on any other
grounds, andesas anxious to do his duty to them, as his consti-
tuents, if they returned him to Parliament. If they did se, it was
his firm determination, in supporting their interests, strenuously
to support the constitution.of the country in church and state,
(loud and.continued cheers ;) .he did not deny that improve-
ments m ght be made in the church establishment, and he fit
one would be desirous of reforming any abuse that couid be
proved-to exist. He would, however, say to them, 'let those
abuses be reformed by the Mewls of the church-and not by its.
eiternies. It was n-el: known to have been the inietnion of ere
large and influential body of the e:rpire to separate the clew&
front the state, which was tantamount to the destruction of the
church itself. (Cheers.) He must confess, and especially after

who were adverse to the contemplated measures, that be should

which emanated form such asi urce. in his opinion the ques-
lien between them was, not whether these talked-of abuses in
the church wee to be removed, but whether the church, itself
was :obe destroyed. (Loud

not of benetitieg the • farmer .but • the landlords; he was cote•
vineed, hewever, if such a measure was brought into opposition,
that th landlords weuld not avail themselves of such uishonest
n
means to eDrich themselves—he would tell them now, as he told
them last year, that if he .had the good fortune, and he felt
rather confident, td limn-tie their rein csentative, he wool.. sup-
port their interests to the hest to his ; he was au advo-
cate for measures of economy and retrenchment, so far as they
were-consistent with -English honour and English independero.e.
(Cheers.) He thought, and he would act up to his opinion,
that the taxation of the country might greatly be reduced, es-
pecially that department which pressed heavily on the lahonrinee
claSses. (Loud and continued cheering.) He was against any
species of pension being granted, except as a rearm: of public.:
-services, and .those services ha thought ought to-he taken into
consideration by pa !lament, and rewarded .accordingly. The
principles of the late ministers were professedly to reduce pen-
sions and places, and he give them credit fee being in office
when some offices were reduced; although it should net be for-
gotten. that when they entered etlice those places agdpensietssis
had been in the curse of reduction (cheers and laughtei ) ;
having given there credit for this, what did the assembly thi..k.

country with taxes threefold. Theme was another measure .for
which he gave his Majesty's late ministers credit (a laugh),

when that odious measure was.abolishedeno hunger to disgrace
the statute book. (Cheers.) But how, lie would ask, was that
measure accoaiOshed—what was the sacrifice? Whv, by
about twenty millions being a.lded to the national debt. (Cries
cif " *trig policy all over.") He believed that that. measure
might have been resorted to at a less -sacrifice, with greater
security to the colonies, to the satisfaction of.the colintry. with
greater security air the owners of plantations-and other West
India property; and, lastly, be would say, with wrester ,-Inipi-
