TRIUMPHANT DEFEAT OF COBDEN AND THE
LEAGUE AT HUNTINGDON.

The farmers of Huntingdonshire have again nobly done
their duty, as they always have done when danger or diffi-
culty required them to put forth their strength. Mr. Cob-
den having a fortnight ago announced his intention to pay
a visit to the county town, it was immediately resolved to
oppose him, and to treat him with a little of that practical
knowledge of which the Leaguers stand so much in need
when they come into competition with intelligent men. Sa-
turday last was the day of meeting, and the surrounding
county poured its population into the town, but, alas, Mr.
Cobden had taken the alarm at the information conveyed to
him, and dared not show his face ! On the previous Sunday
he sent a messenger to a gentleman at St. Ives, who bad always
been a leading man in the Whig interest, with his compli-
ments, and he trusted he might depend upon his support
on Saturday. The answer was, that not only would that
gentleman not give him his support, but that he was pre-
pared to attend the meeting and answer every argument Mr.
Cobden might adduce, and then showed to the messenger the
mass of information he had accumulated ; and so, when the
day came, the great Mr. Cobden came not, but sent a sneak-
ing excuse that he was ill! However, Bright and Moore
came, and there was no lack of speechmaking. The meeting
having adjourned to the common, George Rutt, Esq. was
called to the chair. and Mr. Bright immediately proceeded to
address the multitude in the usual strain of the free traders; he
was very well answered by James Rust, Esq., and set right
upon some commercial matters of fact by Mr. T. Bowyer, an
extensive farmer and merchant. Moore then came forward
and for two hours inflicted upon the meeting his tedious worn-
out tale; and we may take the opportunity of saying that'
if this barrister (for such he is stated to be) receives his ten
guineas a day for attending those meetings, he is dearly
paid for his services, for a wore or more intemperate advocate
we never heard. As soon ns had sat down, Mr. G. G. Day,

gave one of the most able addresses ever listened to, by such

so much under the lash as did Moore and his party. Moore him
Every
self was in a perfect frenzy, and although he had been allow-
ed to speak for two hours, kept up every interruption to the
speaker, by bawling at the top of his voice, in order to
prevent Mr, Day's arguments being heard--he looked as
pale as death, and as terrified as a shuttling
trickster does, when his sophistry is discoverd and ex-
posed, and the deliberate coolness of Mr. Day heightened to
the utmost the dreadful mortification they saw they were
doomed to suffer. Moore's conduct throughout excexciteda
universal feeling of dissatisfaction, as calculated to injure
the best cause, and by no means to aid a bad one. When
the period came for a show of hands, he insisted upon his
supporters holding up both bands, which they accordingly
did ; but even under these circumstances the majority against
them was three to one, and the announcement was received
with tremendous cheers. Three deep and dismal groans
were then given for the leaguers, and the meeting broke up
at eight o'clock ; the farmers and their friends being well
pleased with the result of the day's proceedings. We trust
their noble conduct will be an example to those in other
countries where the league may send their emissaries. This
is the first defeat they have sustained—we hope it is the
harbinger of many more.

ministers said, " We offer up our grateful ackraowledgments for Thy

the evil we dreaded, and turned our fear into thankfulness
and praise. Grant that in all future exigencies we may be
encouraged by this deliverance to put our trust in Thee."
